HAGER HOME AGAIN BIG NEWS FOR EMPLOYEES R. D. Hager, Piedmont's genial Vice- President-Traffic, was back at his d«$l this week after a whirlwind ten-day tour of Europe as guest of Sabena Airlines. Purpose of the trip was to familiarize American local service traffic executives with the European market, and with Sab- ena's operation. The trip included sight-seeing tours thru Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, Ghent, Bruges, Mainz, and Wiesbaden. Travelling was done by auto and by airplane, and one of the trip's highlights was a familiari zation trip in a Sabena helicopter. Sab ena, in addition to being a fine inter national carrier, is also Europe's lead ing local service carrier. Designed to stimulate local service par ticipation in international travel, the conference seems to have sold Mr. Hqger on European vacations. All airline em ployees, as well as the Company, bene fit from sales of foreign travel since handsome commissions are paid to em ployees sel I ing this service. Any em ployee is eligible to participate in this plan. If you know anyone who plans a trip overseas, you can earn a commission by bringing him to Piedmont to book his passage. With reduced rate tourist class fares,air line travel between the United States and Europe becomes more commonplace every day, and there is no reason why employees should not be alert to earn these commissions. We might add to an old slogan by saying, "Fly to Europe — and Start Your Trip on Piedmont". ******************** THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH And this above all; to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day thou const not then be false to any man.
