THE PIEDMONITQR June 1, 195L Page 3 O ur latest gadget in the radio shop is the “Radio Tube Aging and Vibration Table”. By pre- a.ging and vibrating all vacuum tubes prior to installation in the various radio units, we ex- pect to cull 10-15% of the tubes which would normally fail during the first 50 to 100 hours of service. Bob REAGANs Jim TOMMERDAHLp Ralph WIJLLIAMSs and your correspondent still believe that Les WATSON’s “''Birdie” on the 9th hole at Hillcrest was a lucky shot. =■ THE CROSSROAD OF THE PACEMAKERS - Gordon Wagner Congratulations are in order for Sam MURCHISON, He just popped the question to his best girl and got a great big YES in reply.

WANTED” Tiansfer informa-tion - Most of you have a good supply on hand and we are in desperate need of it. It is very valuable to us providing we receive it at least 15 minutes before arrival time. REWARD; More on-time depai'tures. ROANOKE ~ Andrew Bungo A new final call is in progress here in ROA; “Mf Capt. SCHULTE has his coke, let’s go! ” It seems to Ray the minute he buys a coke and lights a cigarette, the agents decide to close out the forms and give a departure call. There are doubts if he has ever finished a coke here yet., Speaking of our pilots - Claude ARTHUR» once flying for Piedmonts and now with American Airlines, is out of the Convair school and is on the BNA-LGA run^ via ROA & RIC, He says “hello” to all, and says he really likes flying the Convair., While in RIC last weekp learned that Fred PRICE left for his home in Alabama for an operation. Ernie SANDERS advised that he had '‘Adenoids’" trouble. Hope to see him back soon. Sort of put the squeeze on Bob ““Curley” ROSE, - first an agent left for relief, and he got Wade ALLEN to replace him - and just when he’s getting his breath Price had to go„ QUESTION FOR THE KNOW-ITS: We’d like an opinion on a situation reported in American Aviation. If a 750 pound man checked in for a, flight, and he was too large to occupy one seatj would you sell him two tickets for two seats, or just charge him one fare^ or would you re,fuse to sell him a ticket???????? ANSWER: One ticket. If he voluntarily requests two tickets to use two seats for greater com.fort sell him two tickets. (That isj, of course, if you have two seats available for his use) sjc sje ^ Arrangements are being completed whereby employee transportation may be exchanged be tween PAI and NORTHWEST AIRLINES. Vacation passes may be obtained via Northwest on a non-revenue, space available basis for PAI employee, spouse and dependent children. However, there is a $3,00 service charge on each ticket issued (either RT or OW), and re mittance covering the service charge must accompany the request for transportation. This arrangement covers domestic travel only.
