Air Force “Loans”
170 Navion L-17’s
To Civil Air Patrol
WASHINGTON — The Depart
ments of the Army and the Air
Force has approved the transfer
of 170 L-17 Navion airplanes to
the Air Force to be placed “on
loan” to the Civil Air Patrol for
the performance of its’ assigned
missions, it was announced re
cently by Maj. Gen. Lucas V.
Beau, USAF, national commander
of the CAP.
The Navions will augment the
fleet of some 570 Piper L-4, Aer
onca L-16 and Convair L-5 air
craft presently loaned to CAP.
Loan of equipment of this type
to CAP is provided by the Air
Force under the provisions of an
act of Congress making the CAP
the “civilian auxiliary of the U.S.
Air Force.”
The move to allocate these air
craft to CAP was made possible
by an Army program to phase out
the L-17 as light personnel car
riers in favor of newer types.
Many of the planes are being re
turned from Korea. The first
planes are expected to be turned
over to CAP units some time in
July and it is expected the proj
ect will be completed by Dec. 31,
1955.
Genera] Beau hailed the acqui
sition of the L-17’s as a “big
step” in increasing CAP’S .effec
tiveness as an aerial search arm
of the Air Force Rescue Service.
Last year CAP’S volunteer
crews flew more than 12,000
actual search hours on missions
directed by ARS. This amounted
to more than 60 per cent of the
total hours flown by all agencies
participating in these missions.

The Crow That Cashes Checks
I 1 1 JJT" ■■ , ■ 1 ”1
Man’s concern for the security
of his family has often been ex
tended to include pets. Animals
and birds are sometimes made
beneficiaries of wills to insure
their care after the death of the
owners. But, so far as is known,
only one—a bird named Ole
Crow—has ever been made a
stockholder to insure a steady
income from dividends.
For instance, there was a be
draggled alley cat named Midgie
which turned up wet and hungry
at the door of Mr. and Mrs.
Francis A. Putnam, an elderly
and childless couple in Omaha.
Several years later when Mr.
Putnam died, Midgie was pro
vided for handsomely. The will
gave Midgie the Putnams’ $9000
house “with access to all rooms
at all times” and instructed the
executors to provide a diet of
liver and salmon.
Jerry, a 4-year-old parrot be
longing to Luther A. Sawyer of
Arlington, Mass., was left $20,
000, on deposit in 14 banks,
with the stipulation that the
money provide care and a custo
dian for life. And, seven lizards
named Mary, Baby, Timmy,
Johnny, Lucy, Blacky and The
Boy were bequeathed $560 each
by Mrs. Marion Kellett of Natal,
South Africa, to provide them
with fresh flowers and peas.
Her husband, retired British
Army Colonel Featherstone T.
Kellett, receives the residue of
each lizard’s estate when it dies.
Only three are now alive and
Colonel Kellett says frankly
that he looks forward to the day
when he’ll be “rid of those so
and-so lizards.”
As for Ole Crow, he is the
property of National Distillers
Products Corporation for which
he poses for advertisements fea
turing an old crow as the sym
bol of a beverage. He is a stock
holder in the company and regu
larly receives dividend checks.
Ole has had a little under
standable difficulty in getting his
checks cashed, however. Bankers
are notoriously conservative and
the sight of a crow at the teller’s
window never fails to disconcert
bank personnel — even though
Ole Crow’s attendant is always
with him. And usually there is
some argument over making
payment since there is no prece
dent for honoring a check en
dorsed only with a clawprint.
But so far Ole has gotten the
cash every time, proving that
when it comes to animals and
birds, bankers are as soft
hearted as everyone else.
