The Company has had Informal discussions with the Airport Commission and County Commiss ioners for the purpose of de termining which of these arrangements would be most appropriate and beneficial to both parties# The Chambers of Commerce and other civic groups and Indivi duals in the communities In cluded In the survey have been exceedingly cooperative In assisting the Company with the study. In Winston-Salem, par ticularly, the genuine Interest and willingness to be of assist ance In any possible way has been outstanding. ^ -ij- ^ -ij -:i- -ij ICS COURSES STUDIED FOR PAI The Company Is considering making arrangements with the International Correspondence Schools (ICS) of Scranton, PA., whereby interested employees can enroll In courses at con siderable savings.

When asked what he was doing wearing a bathing suit so far from any water, he rep If ed : "But man, dig this crazy beachl" ^ -it -rt SAFETY SLOGAN: Always drive so that your license expires before you do* -2- COPPY - WRITES Had a passenger the other day who had made 36 flights, but landed for the first time when Pied mo nt Airlines brought him h ome. Paratrooper, been going up con vent I on a I - M k e, but always came down over the side of the air plane. Felt kind of funny coming down In the same way he went up - and probably a lot more nerve-jangI Ing. -0- Heard Turby went to CVG the other day and almost enjoyed every mile of the trip, with no weather to worry about. He drove up, taking the crew car to CVG field, did his own pi loting, servicing and made it all In one day - flying real I ow. -0- Pllots and airline folk get sort of accustomed to being criticized and condemned when they are involved in fl I gh t delays for weather or possible storms which make it just a shade unsafe, so when they get a pat on the back It usually leaves them a little shaky. Captain decided It best to wait out a line of black and vicious thunderstorms the other night, and spent a fitful night ques tioning his judgment, but about two days later got a real lift in a letter from a delayed pass enger, praising him for his good judgment In considering their comfort as well as peace of mind. “0- Flight attendants are pretty accustomed to the eccentric habits of passengers, but one INT purser was treated to an unscheduled strip-act not long ago. Had a fairly comely young lady travelling with a pretty new Infant who proceeded to peel off her dress and slip without bothering to use the "blue- room", and change clothes Just as the plane was landing at a west-end terminal. The young ster had spilled most of its dinner all over the young mom and she calmly, and without shame, swapped togs. Reckon she figured the purser as standard equipment and, therefore. Inanimate. -0- Some more changes coming up in INT-C shortly, additions and improvements, which we hope to have for next issue. Incident ally, some of the communicators have been to ATL for observation of ATC procedures, and reports are that they like It. jo Lindsay and Marge Skvarek made the first trip and others are to follow. Incidentally, Jo has been on vacation, going way back to the desert for a visit with homefoIk,w-a-y out west. -0- They swear they caught fish, but were so far back in the woods they would have spoiled before they got ^ em out, but we haven^t seen any proof of that safari made recently by Dick Hager, Moser and Lyons, e t a I . ROVING REPORTER GAINS RARE COMMENTS ON ISSUE Your roving reporter is once again making the rounds and bringing to you the real down- to-earth comments pertaining to the pressing Issue confront ing us today. This month’s question Is: "Since the new admInIstration has taken over, what do you think the future is for the local service airlines?" Pete Jones IMN: "If you guys would start cleaning this p-lace up a little, it would start looking more like an office and less like a pig pen." Jackye Saunders, RIC: "Murray 4-4823, anytime after eight." Bill Clark, TRI : "'»hat»s that airplane doin* on the ramp?" Bill Wooten, SDF: "Ask INTD for the gas on 4 once more."
