STORKLINE
1955. We hope 1956 will be better.
Hugh Kelley,Agent-|MN,and Piedmonltor
correspondent. Is going with the "Big
Boys" Feb, 14. He is leaving us to take
on the job as Co-pilot with Pan American
and will be based in Miami,Fla. We hope
Hugh has good luck with RAA and know he
will do a goodjob. Send us your address at
Miami, Hugh. Don't think you will have
any trouble keeping the guest room filled.
Haven't seen 967 round lately. Hope it
stays that way. Remember 8820 with the
"deep" freeze baggage bins tn the cabin?
It was bad but 967 is worse. At least when
we had 8820 we knew there would be room
for cargo and baggage . We didn't carry any.
967 would have been a good airplane -
eight years ago. We don't have too much
trouble with it as we can load it up and
leave the rest here in IMN, but I pity you
guys up the line when you have to pull
our cargo. Better days ahead-the Fokkers
are coming. Good-by ramp equipment,
rudder blocks and gear pins I !

DIPLOMAT: One who can bring home
the bacon without spilling the beans.
Ik,
This bright young man is not the typical
individual that you will find around IMN
when you visit with us. However, he is
what makes the airline career interesting.
It would be interesting to find out what
makes him tick | Since this photo was
taken of this character,we have been won
dering if he has been scared by a passenger,
greeting a friend, or extending his hand
to "mooch." Maybe the phone rang and
he is showing the typical PAI spirit and
wants to be the first to answer it. If he
sits on that pencil, | wonder what that
grin would look like. Those who don't
know his name,he is SS.Sandifer, Those
who know him,he is just "RED".
"FAMILY PLAN" ?
TWA claims this story true but did not re
lease the names of the people involved:
A wealthy Moslem applied under the air
line's off-season family fare plan for a
transatlantic hop at 40 per cent below re
gular prices. After a double-take at the
family, TWA agreed on the package deal:
The husband, four wives and eleven
children ! (AP)

CREDIT UNION NEWS -
At a recent Credit Union board of directors
meeting,the following revisions to interest
rates were voted upon favorably and will
go into effect on March 1 . Short term
loans for 90 days or less will still be dis
counted at 6%, Rates and other loans are
as follows: Co-signer or endorsed loans -
5-1/4%; Loans secured by Piedmont Avia
tion stock - 5%; Loans secured by shares
irithe credit union4-3/4%. The so-called
"quickie" loans are now limited to five
per person in any one year in an effort to
confine such loans to emergency needs
only. Arrangements were made to change
the insurance coverage on loans and
savings from the Cuna Mutual Insurance
Society to the Pilot Life Insurance Co.,
which wjll give the same coverage with a
substantial reduction in cost.
Never ask for a favor unless you are ready
to give one.
