With the quota for March at 16,647, the discrepancy between actual pas senger loads and anticipated loads is substantial.

Further, our aircraft flew approximately 100,000 miles more during this March than during the same month of last year. LEJEUNE; Don EDMONDSON’s consolidated ticket office at Lejeune is coming along very nicely al though working conditions are still rough. Better than $26,000.00 was taken in during February.
