Representing Piedmont was Vice President-Traffic R. D. Hager. Representing American were Herb Lyle, Sales Manager, Ralph Maugham, Inter line Manager, and Jim Derring, Manager of Advertising. Left to right: John Lindsay, Frontier; Ernie Code, West Coast; Dick Hager, Piedmont; Robert Hernstein, Bonanza. The five-day meeting was highlighted by several unusual events, which, in addi tion to the business meetings, included tours of Mexico City and a fabulous fish ing tour to Acapulco. The entire object of the meeting was to show what American had to offer in Mexico and to stimulate interline sales to that country. The com bined sales and traffic brains of American and the local service carriers have come up with an aggressive, vigorous Mexican sales program which should certainly help to stimulate business. American is to furnish advertising and promotional ma terial which should be appearing in the stations shortly.

Highlighting the game was Frank Grant's homer and Easy Blanton's pitching. The second game was one of those once-in-a- lifetime affairs. Leading the A.M.
