Fix, Foreman of the Paint and Upholstery Shop at INT, cele brated 20 years with Piedmont September 14. He went on the payroll as a full-time employee in 1941. Before that he worked for the company on a part-time basis during his last years in high school. In his senior year he arranged to have all his classes in the morning so he could work at fixed base in the afternoons. “We had to do a little bit of everything in those days,” says Joe. “I started out on the line, servicing airplanes. Then I worked in the Engine Overhaul Shop which then only took care of light plane engines. From there I went to the Dope Room, and then back to being a me chanic.” Fix has been with his present department over 11 years. Dur- First Half of '61 Has Profit Gain Figures in for the first half of 1961 show Piedmont Aviation, Inc., had a net income of $71,421 as compared with a profit of $506 for the same period in 1960. A recent report to Piedmont owners and employees stated that all short-term funds bor rowed to finance the F-27 have been repaid. President T. H. Davis attrib uted the profit gain to three fac tors: (1) substantial increases in passenger, freight, and express traffic, (2) a passenger fare in crease, and (3) a rigid budgetary and vigorous cost control pro gram. He urged continued effort on the part of those connected with Piedmont, explaining that should the’ anticipated expansion b e granted by the CAB in the Pied mont Area Case, the Company must be in the position to take advantage of the benefits re sulting from the decision. “One more passenger on every Piedmont flight,” said Mr. Davis, “means $623,836 more revenue to your Company during the course of a year. The additional expense involved in serving this addi tional passenger is nominal. “A word from you to your friends and associates who travel throughout the area we serve will assure our getting that extra passenger. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.” ing that time the Paint and Up holstery Shop staff have won several awards for their work in decorating the interiors of exec utive aircraft. Piedmont people can always be depended on to pitch in and help in time of emergency. Those in Charleston found this particular ly true during the recent flood disaster there. CRW Station Manager R. L. Hill sent the following note to The Piedmonitor expressing his appreciation for the help they re ceived: “Please extend by way of a mention in the next issue of The Piedmonitor our belated thanks to all Piedmont stations who aided the American Red Cross efforts for relief during Charles ton’s recent flood disaster, and to the following persons in par ticular: “Mr. Simpson at TYS; Miss Short at CMH; Mr. Cowan at CVG-C; and Mr. Schere at CRW, the latter from whom came the idea of collecting clothing to be distributed by the Red Cross, and who coordinated the project after its institution. “For his effort he merited much personal praise from the Civil Defense and American Red Cross, and provided a tremen dous boost for Piedmont Airlines in this area . . .” “What’s new?” is an expres sion that is used to mean dif ferent things to different people. We use it as a greeting; we use it as a means of introducing a topic of conversation; or, we use it to find out just what really is new about a certain subject, place, or person. The folks in the social security office would like for the em ployees at Piedmont Airlines, Inc. to know just what is new about OASDI — old-age, survi vors, and disability insurance. There have been recent changes that you should know about. Every worker no doubt under stands that benefits may be pay able to him at retirement. He understands that certain mem bers of his family — his wife and minor children — may also receive monthly payments at his retirement or death. Most peo ple know, too, a lump-sum death payment is made to a spouse at the time of the worker’s death, if they were living together. But there are some new fea tures about social security which may be “news” to most folks, and you will no doubt be in- A native of Winston-Salem, Joe attended Reynolds High School in that city. He and his wife Molly have two children: Andy, age six; and “Bet,” age three. 20 YEARS SERVICE Joe Fix, INT, September 14 15 YEARS SERVICE Buck Snyder,. Lineman, INT-FB, September 7 Joe M.

For example, the 1961 amend ments made it possible for men to start getting social security payments as early as age 62, rather than 65. If men do claim their benefits before 65, their monthly amount will be slightly lower. The minimum benefit has been raised from $33 to $40. Payments to widows 62 and over will be increased about 10 per cent. In addition, payments to aged de pendent widowers and some aged parents of deceased work ers will also be increased about 10 per cent. Recent changes have reduced the amount of'work needed for a person to become “insured” under the law. A man reaching 65 or a woman who becomes 62 in 1961 will need social security credit for only two and one-half years of work. A person needs to have social security credit for about one-fourth of the time since 1950 up to the year he be comes 65 (or 62 for women) or dies. Another important change (Continued on Page Five) A.
