PAGE SIX THE PIEDMONITOR APRIL, 1964 CAB SENDS REVIEW . . . (Continued from Page One) service carrier in replacement of two or more trunkline authoriza tions. Also included in the report is the list of individual trunkline points suspended, deleted or not renewed in favor of local service carriers. In another action April 8, the CAB denied petitions for recon sideration of an earlier decision declining to authorize helicopter service in the Washington-Balti- more area. Piedmont had entered the case when it was first opened, but the Board decided in August, 1963, that the public convenience and necessity did not require the helicopter-type transportation be tween Washington National Air- p o r t, Dulles International Air port, and Baltimore’s Friendship International Airport, on the one hand, and the downtown areas of Washington and Baltimore, on the other hand. D. C. Helicopter, New York Airways, Washington-Baltimore Helicopter and the Metropolitan Washington Board of Trade re quested reconsideration of the Board order. In their petitions New York Airways and Washing- ton-Baltimore Helicopter, in addi tion to prosecuting their original proposals rejected by the Board, alternatively submitted new service proposals.

THE PIEDMONT POSTMAN Dear Sir; Every so often an occasion arises where an individual per forms a service above and be yond the call of normal duty. As is also the pattern, they are nev er properly thanked for their ef forts. We’d like to take the ex ception to the normal pattern. On January 5th of this year ... (my companions and I) were de layed at Bristol, Tenn., for sev eral hours. They decided to spend the time viewing a parti cular football game on television. None being available they asked your Station Manager (Ed. — Bill Cash) where they might see the game. He indicated there was a place several miles down the road. Having no car, obviously, they gave up the idea, however your Station Manager solved their problem. He offered them, total strangers, the keys to his own car. Needless ■ to say... (both my companions) were impressed. So much that they related this story during a subsequent sales meet ing. They unfortunately did not get the name of your Station Manager. Thus, I’m asking your help. Would you thank your man for his exceptional act of service. Sincerely, J. J. S. Ravenswood, W. Va. Dear Sir: Recently my family used your airline. My wife had an excur sion ticket and my two sons (age eight and ten) each had half fares. Their trip was pleasant enough except that when they arrived on next to the last stop the Stewardess said my wife would have to hold my youngest son the rest of the way, because two half fares only entitled them to one seat. My wife had to hold him some three-fourths of an hour. Now this may seem to you to be right but when I buy some thing like that I sure would like to know in advance. I use your airline at least once a month ... and my experience with it has been pleasant. This is the only time I have been dis gruntled and to be honest with you I plain caught hell from my wife about the incident. She par tially blames me because I re commended she fly instead of drive like she wanted to. I would appreciate a reply as to whether or not this is the practice on your airline. Sincerely, L. V. H. Dear Sir: On Friday, 28 February, I was to have the pleasure of riding Piedmont to Roanoke, Va. Things went great until we ran into heavy snow. We diverted to Winston-Salem where the plane stayed until the next day. Ordinarily the diversion would not have been of any conse quence. However, plans had been made for me to be in Roan oke by 7 p.m. to give a talk . . . 1 want you to know that it was through the timely and cour teous assistance of your Steward on Flight 477, Mr. T. A. Kirk, that I was able to obtain a rent- a-car and meet my appointment. He also made it possible for three ladies and an infant to make the trip with me and keep appointments in Blacksburg. So you can see he saved many a broken appointment even though late, taking almost five hours to make the 118-mile trip. The key chain broke and we dropped the key in the snow, not to be found. The gas gauge did not work, so we feared we would be stuck in the snow with out a heater. And lastly, we drove the distance without li cense plates. Apparently they were lost en route. This note is written to let you know I do appreciate Mr. Kirk’s efforts in our behalf. He is a dis tinct credit to your fine fleet. Sincerely, A. F. R. Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: This is to express thanks for the enjoyable trip from Raleigh- Durham to Lexington, Ky. The head Steward and the young lady trainees on board (Ed.—Ronnie Vogler, Wanda Terry and Carolyn Ward) did a wonderful job of making the trip pleasurable. Sincerely, L. E. F. Bethesda, Md. Editor’s Note: In response to re quests, we reprint the following safety bulletin recently issued by R. S. Macklin of INT-M. It con tains information and advice which should be heeded by everyone who comes in contact with household cleansing agents. Recently a peculiar type of ac cident struck two housewives undertaking a household chore in separate locations but under sirhilar circumstances. Both were using an ordinary t o i 1 e t-bowl cl e a n e r. Dissatisfied with the way stains were being removed, each decided to add a household bleach and stirred the mixture with a brush. As a result, one died quickly—the other spent a long, long time in a hospital. Another example — according to a government medical news letter, twenty people were over come a short time ago by toxic gases released from a do-it-your self cleaner, a witches’ brew of a cleanser, chlorine bleach and am monia. What occurred in each of these cases was the generation of a poi sonous gas when the users de cided to combine two or more cleaning agents commonly found in almost every household. The addition of the old familiar chlo rine bleach (a sodium hypochlo rite solution) to an acid-produ- cing substance, such as a toilet bowl cleanser or just plain vine gar, will suddenly release a quan tity of toxic chlorine gas. Simi larly, when it is mixed with other alkaline matter — am monia or lye — the chemical ac tion liberates a highly irritating gas. If inhaled, these fumes can cause serious injury and pos sibly death. Don’t make the mistake of thinking because certain house hold products are good and use ful, a combination will do the job better. On the contrary this may be not only a waste of time and effort by producing poorer re sults through neutralizing or di luting one another, but may prove disastrous. Stick to the safe rule: read the label care fully and follow the manufac turer’s directions exactly. Keep in mind that modern scouring powders often contain chlorine bleach. Economically, it’s unsound to use hypochlorite (chlorine) bleach in toilet bowls, sinks and bathtubs or on electrical appli ances. This will, in time, dull and roughen the fine smooth por celain surface which is attrac tive as well as utilitarian. To sum up — Don’t ever mix bleaching agents with toilet bowl cleaners, or with ammonia, lye, rust re movers, vinegar, or oven clean ers. In short—never mix bleach ing agents with any other clean ing components. Gaaxyiati 15 YEARS SERVICE Bill Crowe, Dist. Sales Mgr., CLT January 4 Kenneth H.
