Selvia, F/0, INT 31 Watch for Medic-Alert Special Emblem Saves Lives Several years ago the daugh ter of a California physician was involved in an accident. She nearly died—not from injuries received but because no one knew she was allergic to tet anus antitoxin. To guard against a similar mishap, the physician designed the first Medic-Alert bracelet. His idea led to the founding of the non - profit International Medic-Alert Foundation, which has as its purpose to provide “24-hour protection to those with hidden medical problems, and to prevent tragic, even fatal mistakes in the course of admin istering aid to those persons with allergies and afflictions, through Medic-Alert Emblems.” No portion of the travel in dustry is more concerned with passenger care and safety than the airlines, and personnel should look for and learn to rec ognize the Medic-Alert emblem. It is estimated that one per son in every family—over 45 million American.s—suffers from a hidden medical problem or acute allergy. This means, of course, the possibilities of an airline passenger going into shock or sudden seizure mount each year as more and more peo ple take to air travel. The Medic - Alert Foundation keeps a full medical file on each person wearing one of its em blems, cross-filed under name and serial number correspond ing to a number engraved on emblems along with the tele phone number of the Founda tion. The information in these files is available on a 24-hour, collect- call basis to physicians and oth er authorized personnel in em ergencies. This means that, in the event a passenger’s condition appears serious, the Captain can radio ahead and get the information concerning the person from the central file. In so doing, the pilot can then have a doctor at the airport ready to receive the passenger, with full knowledge in advance of just what medical problem he must treat. Medic-Alert emblems include an ID-type bracelet, a disc on a lady’s charm bracelet, and a medal medallion on a 24-inch chain to be worn around the neck. They are engraved on one side with the Caduceus, and on the other with the medical warn ing (see photograph).

Recent stopwatch tests in the Manhattan district of New York showed it took only 4% minutes longer for a horse and buggy to get across town than it did for a chauffeur-driven limousine. A motor scooter beat a hack by 10 seconds to come in first. The cab was second, 3:08 min utes ahead of the chauffeur- driven car. Dear Sir: Recently it was my pleasure to watch Flight 403 arrive and take off on the minute. . . . How ever, in that someone was negli gent in his duties at the airport, I missed this Flight 403 which is making me about 20 hours late for an appointment in Nash ville, Tenn. No announcement was made of the arrival or departure of this flight, despite the fact that the speaker system was in or der. The expressions of neglect offered by the attendants or tic ket agent do not make amends for such. This notice to your company might save some other client from experiencing the same fate as I. Sincerely, H. E. G. * * * Dear Sir; On Friday, June 29, I was a passenger on your Flight 410 from Cincinnati to Bluefield. I would like to commend your Flight Attendant on board this flight for his high quality of service and friendliness to the passengers. After deplaning, I checked with your ground per sonnel in Bluefield to obtain his name and found it was Mr. James lioclcaniy. Anyone who can display and maintain such a calm and friend ly attitude toward passengers under the conditions of rough air, sickness, etc., is in my opin ion a great asset to your com pany. He certainly contributed t o the comfort and enjoyment of the flight to myself and the oth er passengers as well. Sincerely, E. L. S. Bluefield * * * Dear Sir: . . . we used your services to (take a trip) . . . and deposited our bags about an hour before departure time and left on schedule. When we arrived . our bags were left behind and they could not get them to us until the next day. I don’t have to go into any de tails as to the difficulties ex perienced, etc. We lost the trip. expense and all. For one who has in the past and present also handled your stocks, that’s hard to take. Sincerely, M. E. B. Dear Sir: It gives me extreme pleasure to write to you commending the action of one of your employees, a Miss Ann Parsons, of your Washington National Airport ticket counter. Let me quote to you part of a letter I received , . which will be self-explan atory. “I am writing you this note to give you information I am sure you don’t have; I was a first hand witness of the incident which took place in Washington Friday night. “Basically, this is what hap pened. As I was checking into the Piedmont Airlines desk, one of the janitors was following be hind me, fumbling with a wal let. Miss Parsons spotted it, leaped at him, took it out of his hands, took one look at it, and, literally leaping over the weigh ing scales, fell flat on her face, then tore out of the terminal to the airplane. When she came back to the check-in counter, I asked what had happened, and she explained that when you checked in you had trouble lo cating your travel card. - “The fact that this girl was extremely alert in recognizing the problem and took responsi bility to return the wallet, I think is deserving of consider able merit and possibly a letter to her superior showing your appreciation. I am sure you know how to do these things better than I, but thought you would like to know what hap pened behind the scenes.” Needless to say, I am deeply appreciative of her initiative and interest because as you can imagine, the loss of about a doz en national credit cards could be attended with considerable inconvenience, not to mention the potential financial loss. I congratulate you for having such an alert and considerate employee and would recommend that you make note of her ex ceptional performance. I, for one, would love to have many like her in my organization. Sincerely, J. J. P. Blacksburg, Va. NEW EMPLOYEES Frank C. Wood, Oper.
