VFR with Turby We occasionally are honored by visits from people from out side stations here in the home office, and it is always a pleasure to have them. I would like to extend a cordial invitation to all of you to visit with us when you have the opportunity, particularly those who have not been to INT. Be sure to let us know when you are here so we may arrange a tour of the entire facility. I believe you will find it both interesting and educational. You might be interested in knowing that again in 1963, Pied mont carried more excess baggage than any of the other local service boys. Our nearest competitor was North Central, which carried 136,738 pounds. We carried 150,244, which indicates that we are still on the ball in this area and it is a good source of revenue. Ifi- 1063, 'r - ■ a. .'uo' ~ '‘"Sr two in total number of em ployees with 1584. We were topped by North Central with 1985. Our General Management Meeting in Wilmington was real productive. To those of you who kept the airline running, con gratulations for a fine job. ^ >}c First Bride: Does your husband snore in his sleep? Second Bride: I don’t know, we’ve only been married three days. * * * Jury: Twelve men chosen to decide who is the best lawyer. Joan of Arc:, Noah’s wife. Old Maid: (a) A girl who failed to strike while the iron was hot. (b) An evaporated peach. THE PIEDMONT POSTMAN Dear Sir: Comes now — from your best passenger customer — not a complaint but praise. On 67 to Atlanta the other night, I had occasion to observe your hostess, Miss Evelyn Hill, at work. There were some male passengers that behaved a little fractiously, and their remarks to Miss Hill bor dered on the offensive. Miss Hill fielded these insults as neatly as Ty Cobb, and she was to all passengers, myself in cluded, marvelously attentive, considerate, courteous, and friendly as a basket of puppies. I am writing to tell you, sir, that you are well represented in Miss Hill — she’s making a lot of friends for your airline. It wouldn’t hurt to let her know you know it. Keep in mind that if you don’t give Miss Hill a pat on the back, I might withdraw my patronage and you’d be bankrabbit in a week. With best wishes for your continued growth and prosperity, and with the warmest admira tion for your prompt and effi cient service. Sincerely, E.L. Wilmington, N. C. Dear Sir: My daughter is a student . . . and I was greatly concerned when your ticket agent . . . made reservations on a connecting flight . . . that did not exist. She was almost hysterical when she arrived in D. C. to find there was no such flight and told no seats were available on any other plane. I don’t see how this can be possible with all the reconfirm ing one does with tickets ... If you had a daughter you would appreciate how worried we were and are in the future using your services. Can’t something be done so this doesn’t happen again? Sincerely, R.J.J. * * Dear Sir: I should like to bring to your attention the exceptional service received from Agent H. G. de- Lara and two of his colleagues whose names I failed to obtain. I had arrived in Atlanta to find that the plane on which I was scheduled to proceed to Wilming ton did not fly on Saturday. As it was essential that I be at Camp Lejeune Sunday morning (Continued on Page Six) Jungles, Cavemen, Kitchens Here's A Look At The Fair by Audry Black (Editor’s note: Audry Black, Supervisor of Stewardess Train ing, recently made a quick trip to the New York World’s Fair. Following is her account of some of the things you can expect to see and do if you plan to visit the Fair.) The New York World’s Fair is beautiful in its own right, and not at all cluttered. The grounds have wide sidewalks and streets angling from one exhibit to an other. Each building or exhibit is known as a pavilion, and each costs thousands of dollars. I was there for one day, and in eight hours I saw only five of the many structures. The reason — extremely long lines of anxious people. The first pavilion I went to was General Electric’s, where I waited 30 or 40 minutes to get in. To enter, I stepped on a con veyor belt about three yards wide, then circled to the top floor of the round structure. I stepped inside the round dome and took a theater-type seat. An electronic screen of colors flashed before the audience, and soon we began moving in a circle for about 45 degrees. A stage appeared and on it was a life-like figure who began to speak to us from his chair in a kitchen of the early 1900’s. His shaggy dog lay beside his mas ter. The audience was told of the modern conveniences of that day. Soon we turned another 45 de grees and then another, each time witnessing a newer type of kitchen, bath, and so on. The sixth turn brought us to the home of the future, with the in terior decorated, not with paint and fabrics, but with lighting. From there, we stepped on to another conveyor and rode up ward into what looked like a tremendous “V” which gave an illusion of infinite cplor. Inside the planetarium we saw the fu sion of atoms, showing the ther monuclear process by which the sun and stars achieve their energy. Another interesting pavilion was that of the Ford Motor Company. We walked around scale models of present homes of different countries around the world. Stepping on another con veyor belt, we were lifted slowly to the top floor where we sat in 1964 Ford cars. The convertible was moving with 169 others on a special track. We moved along the side of the building to look over the fair grounds and soon descended into darkness and strange music, symbolizing the beginning of time. We then progressed through the early, ugly stages of crea tures which have long been ex tinct, and up through various stages of evolution until we came to man. We saw him crude ly building fires, hunting, paint ing on cave walls, and gradually becoming more civilized. We were also given a glance at a city of the future, realistically designed by Walt Disney. The General Motors pavilion was perhaps the most impres sive, most expensive, and the one which took the longest (four years) to design and assemble. Here again we were placed on a conveyor belt, this time seated, with an individual speaker at tached to each seat. We were lowered into a dark area, filled with sound. It was a jungle of monkeys, trees, and quaint and familiar sounds. The difference? The people had beau tiful homes, for the jungle had been turned into a pleasant en vironment. The next section was a desert where trees and gardens now grew. Then we went forward into the “bottom of the sea,” with lighting techniques ac complishing this phenomenon. We saw that one day it will be possible to live comfortably and beautifully below the surface of the earth. I also saw the African display and ate in their “tree house,” and I also enjoyed the Vatican pavilion with its art treasures, including Michelangelo’s “Pieta” of white marble. To sum up: the lines are long, but I found the displays and new ideas to be worth the waiting time. There were many different nationalities there, and the bus drivers and personnel at the in formation booths were most helpful. I parked the car for $1.50, rode a free bus about two miles to the main gate, and was admitted for $2.00. Most of the pavillions have free admission, so the most expensive thing to do is eat. C. L.
