V arious Agencies Join in Helping Hungry Wildfowl Although the thaw over a recent week-end relieved the situation to a large extent , a movement sponsored by vDucks Unlimited , Inc., of 500 F ifth avenu e , New York , is expected to be of some aid to the wild duck inh abitants of Long Island. Ducks Unlimited , Inc., an organiza- tion designed as its name implies to increase the supp ly of wild ducks in American waters , announced re- cently it was starting a collection from sportsmen to feed thousands of wild ducks then, reported starving on the frozen ponds and shores of Long Island. The feeding of wild duck s with cracked corn , bread crumbs and other food is done to some extent in this section annually by sportsmen who do the work voluntarily and in many instances at their own expense. In . its announcement , the New York organization stated that the ducks , mostl y of the black , scaup and wid- geon varieties , have been wintering on the Long Islan d lakes and shores increasingly in recent years , and hav e been hard hit by this year ' s pro- longed cold. The Long Island State Park com- mission , which has a special fxind for feeding ducks and deer in winter , reported recently that park employ- ees were feeding 300 pounds of crack- ed corn a day to ducks on the ice at Heckscher. State park at East Islip and 200 pounds of cracked corn a day to ' ducks ,., on the f rozen wa t er of Hempstead Lake Sta ' te park. Similar work is being carried on in other State parks on Long Island. With an initial contribution of $100 already reeeived , Ducks Unlimited , notifi ed Walter G. Been of the Suf- folk Farm bureau and ho agreed to get two state game wardens in Suf- folk and some farmers busy with purchased grain on the ponds where most needed. The Community Basketball league closed its first half last week with the Bellport team and Fuoco ' s Bus line tied for first place. The second half of the season opened Thursday night with Fuoco ' s Bus lino defeating the Bellport quintet , 23 to 14 ,. and the high school alumni taking over the Medford Island Coal and Lumber company, 16 to 15.
