Answer
The restricted article’s Tariff
No. 6-C must be consulted to
determine whether explosives
and other dangerous articles will
be accepted and under what con
ditions. This tariff sets forth the
rules and regulations applicable
to the acception, packing, and
marking of these dangerous
items. Shipments of articles
listed in this tariff must be ac
companied by two copies of a
“Shipper’s Certification for Re
stricted Articles.” One copy of
this form accompanies the ship
ment and the other is sent to
Air Freight Accounting.
LOCAL SERVICE PROBLEMS
(Continued from Page One)
‘ ... In essence, it is virtually
impossible to operate a short
haul airline with the same pre
cision as a long haul one. Since
all airline operate a large num
ber of daily flights with rela
tively few aircraft, each flight
delay or interruption upsets the
on-time performance of many
successive flights. This is es
pecially true of the local air
lines because their equipment is
limited.

Seven Years Ago in The
Piedmonitor
INT Captain Bud Gilley was
campaigning for the job of Con
stable of Winston-Salem . . .
Piedmont Aviation was pre
sented its second consecutive
safety award at a banquet at
INT. Presentation was made by
the N. C. Labor Commission.
Five Years Ago
Preparation for the F-27 was
begun, with equipment for the
installation of fuel tanks newly
arrived at ROA . . . Betty Hun
ter, Thelma Davis, Betty Thoma
son, and Ina Grant were pic
tured and introduced in their
various jobs in Space Control.
One Year Ago
The Board of Directors held
its annual meeting and reported
the best year in Piedmont his
tory. All officers and Directors
were re-elected and approval
was given to a proposal to ex-
p a n d the maintenance hangar
and construct an entirely new
engine shop . . . Large gains in
cargo were reported with a 62
per cent gain noted over the
five-year period of 1956 through
1961.

By Ed Robins
Aviation Writer
A year ago, Billie Jean Davis
was “riding a broom” on Ameri
can Airlines, supervising 40
“kitty kats.” Today she is Pied
mont Airlines’ new teacher of
stewardesses.
“Riding a broom” is the way
she described her job as super
visor. The “kitty kats” were 40
stewardesses.
Piedmont has given Miss Davis
an imposing title — administra
tive assistant, flight services de
partment. It means simply that
she’s responsible for the com-
p 1 e t e training of the airline’s
three dozen stewardesses.
Six years ago she had never
flown. With two and a half
years of college to her credit and
looking for a job, Miss Davis an
swered an American Airlines’ ad
for stewardesses at Knoxville,
Tenn., 40 miles from her home
at LaFollette.
“It just seemed like a fasci
nating job so I inquired and was
hired,” the pretty Tennessean
recalled.
For two years she flew for
American out of Dallas, Texas.
Then, promoted to a stewardess
supervisor, she was assigned to
New York City, in the airline’s
Eastern region.
As a supervisor Miss Davis
was entrusted to watch the per
formance of 40 stewardesses in

fhght. She was both helper and
critic. It meant that she was fly
ing on one trip or another as
much as were her charges.'
But, as she put it, “We weren’t
riding our brooms all the time.”
Occasionally Miss Davis han
dled the stewardess chores on
her own.
To the supervisors usually
went the prestige jobs — char
ters. Miss Davis said her most
memorable assignment was a
charter flight launching the
Everett Dirksen campaign for
Senator in Illinois in 1962.
“General Eisenhower was
along on that charter,” she re
membered.
Miss Davis said she was at
home during a leave when she
learned of the opening for an in
structor of stewardesses at Pied
mont. She was accepted and
went to work May 22.
Daughter of a general con
tractor in LaFollette, Miss Davis
has two brothers. She attended
the University of Tennessee be
fore becoming a stewardess.

Holidays
For those interested in ex
changing the usual mountains
or seashore vacation for one
that’s different, Alaska Airlines
is offering special interline dis
counts to airline employees tak
ing one of four planned tours
through the 49th state.
The tours are seven, ten, to
14 days in duration and range in
cost from $151 to $419, effective
from May 15 to September 2.
In describing the tours the
airline writes:
“As you travel northward you
come to Anchorage and its sur
roundings — beautiful Turnigan
Arm, Alyeska Ski Resort, and
Portage Glacier. Traveling past
Mt. McKinley, you come to Fair
banks. Here are gold fields, river
boats, cruises on the Tanana
River, and the true feel of old
time Alaska.
Employees interested in fur
ther information on the tours
should write Mr. George Sahlin,
Jr., Asst. Vice President, Alaska
Airlines, Inc., 2320 Sixth Ave.,
Seattle, Wash.
Did You
Know... ?
Little costs for little items
mount up until it's one big cost
for one big item. It's easy to
use the little items without much
thought to expense because
after all, they're so small, and
even if one is wasted or thrown
away, the loss is minute in terms
of the company's budget.
At the end of the year
though, ail those little items
don't look so little anymore.
Take pencils, for instance. Pied
mont employees use 61,100
pencils a year at an annual cost
of $1500. They use 1100 boxes
of staples. Cost—$475 yearly.
For rubber bands, $125 for 300
boxes. And Scotch tape? 1,400
rolls a year at a cost of $580.
A total outlay of $2,680 for
those four "little" items alone.
So the next time you catch
yourself using too much of the
little things, remember — the
little things add up to a lot.
