October was a good month and we finished
that off with a bang-up Halloween party.
There were a few out of town guests and a
good time was had by all.
November was a much better month, and
we're proud that we went over our quota a
1 ittle bit (about 111). Hopes are for a con
tinuous increase in passengers so we can
mix with the big boys again soon.
With the loss ofE.E.Pickel to ROA, and a
shuffle of a couple fellows here, we have
had the help trimmed down a bit. By now
you all know about Bob Rose's boost up the
ladder. We are pleased mostly because we
didn't real Iy lose him and we hope he doesn't
have to be out of RjC too much. Happy
too we were for Ray Crouse. There is no
doubt that they both can do their new jobs
well and they have backing of all the
stations. What have come to pass couldn't
have happened to two nicer men.
We were pleased to have Mr. Davis and
Mr. Beasley drop in on our Station Miset-
ing in October. Mr. Davis was kind enough
to straighten out some of the rumors about
planes, routings, etc. Now that we have
o trouble shooter here, we will only see
the INT brass when we go there. Come
again, Mr. Davis, and anyone else will
be welcomed anytime.
The busy Christmas Season has already start
ed and has promises of being terrific, and
though we may not have gotten around to
wishing it personally, here's hoping that
the spirit of glad tidings, peace, and
giving, born so long ago with Christ i s
with you all during such agloriousseason.
May the New Year be prosperous for all.

The other night Flight 54 arrived with
ship #967. As you know, this ship has no
nose cargo bin. Well, the Captain said
the agent at one of the stations came
running up with the nose stand and said
they would have to remove 200 pounds
account they were overloaded, and the
Captain said, "Okay,take thespare radio
parts and the co-pilot and lets go." We
really have our funny problems when jt
goes through . | thinK everyone here is
resting up for the holiday rush and also
the holiday party that we are planning
to have,as the excuse for the news being
on the scarce side.
We would like to wish everyone a very,
very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous
and Happy New Year from all of us at
Tri City.

Georgia McKee, our communicationist,
enclosed in a letter to her young son, a
teletype message relating to thedeparture
of the eagle from INT. She explained to
him;"This message is about our pay checks.
They call them eagle because they fly to
us and then fly away. That is what it
means when people say money flies." All
too true I 1
Is it really true that wedding bells are
going to ring for Betty Caudill before too
long ?
Along about the time this reaches you.
Bill Hamilton will be pacing the floor
of the prospective father's waiting room
in TRI. Bill is from Blountvil le, Tenn. and
