Wilmington Eyes Development Of A irRoutes On World Scale By JACK C. LUNAN World peace can only come about through world understanding and jhj foundation for world under standing is world trade, is the opinion of a major airline execu te. "Today the most dynamic force in world commerce is the airplane. Without its positive ef jec; the world can soon become acain a heterogeneous collection of irmed camps, each distrustful, each a law unto itself, each ready •o clash with another over econo mic, social and geographic differ ences. With its positive effect, the airplane can help, to mold the world into a one-ness from which will emerge a gloUil prosperity, happiness, and peace unknown and impossible during the eras of other means of transportation and com munication. The above thought, recently ex pressed by C. R. Speers, regional vice-president of American Air lines System, may or may not, be behind the movement of American owned airline companies for ex panded world services. Most cer tainly the possible revenue view point is uppermost in the minds of all. But it is only reasonable to assume, that American airline in terests, far-seeing and patriotic to the. core, are anxious through the medium of expansion, to knit the nations of the world together a^ closely as are the peoples of Can ada and the United States. Air- minded Wilmingtonians, watching with keen interest the bat tle of the air-carriers for new routes, extension to existing lines and better airport facility's, are taking no sides in the so-called Caribbean case now before the CAB for decision, but with fingers crossed, are, waiting to see what Wilmington will get out of the squabble in the way of more di rect air routes to the North, South east and Southwest. Best Safety Record Colonial Airlines, with the best safety record of any scheduled carrier in recent years, which among others, is seeking new routes, both domestic and interna, tional, has put its cards face-up on the table, enabling Wilmington ians to see for themselves just what they propose to give us in the way of addit onal airline passenger service if they are granted re quested certificates of operation by CAB. In another column, a map of the proposed extension of the present Colonial system* is presented today in order that every Wilmington business man and citizen may get a picturized idea of what this one airline system proposes to do for this city in the way of additional service. At present, Colonial with 23 years of experience behind it and without an accident to passenger or equipment since 1938, comes no further south than Washington, D. C. All existing lines are in the North and internationally into Canada — some 334-miles of sched uled daily flights. Soon it will be serving Bermuda and adding over 2,300 miles to its domestic and foreign air routes. Other domestic and international routes are now before CAB and it is these, that, are of particular interest to Wil mington and Wilmingtonians. Washington Link Under Colonial’s proposed new routes, a glance at the map will show that the company seeks to link Wilmington with Washington, D. C., via Norfolk. National Air lines, already serving the city north and south, is asking for a similar certificate of operation. Colonial proposals would give Wil mington a competing airline serv ice from Norfolk on the North to Jacksonville, Fla., on the South, with additional service direct to Washington and Baltimore, a serv ice that would be a real boom to Wilmington air travelers. Further, the map shows, Wil OCTOBER 5th iS an important date « All men who volunteer for the new Regular Army on or before October 5, 1946, are guaranteed the full educational benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights for the complete term of their enlistment-1, IV2, 2 or 3 years, whichever they choose. For men enlisting after October 5th, benefits under the G. I. Bill of Rights will accrue only so long as the period of emergency exists. Upon official termination of the war, the- -? benefits cease. These benefits, which include the opportunity to get a full college, trade or business school education, are very important to every man _ who plans to enlist in the new Regular Army. Be sure you get all the facts before October 5th from your nearest U. S. Army Recruiting Station. ————— U. S. ARMY RECRUITING STATION Boom 203, P. O. Bldg. Wilmington, N. C. Dial S Or—Reernitlng Representatives In Post Offices, 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. Whiteville — Mondays; Wallace — Wednesdays. Jacksonville — Thursdays, mington via Colonial, would be linked directly by air not only to Washington, D. C., but to Balti more, Wilmington, Del., Philadel phia, Trenton and New York, thence via Hartford, Conn., Provi dence, Springfield, Boston, Mass., and on to Quebec, Canada on the one hand and from Baltimore to Dover, Del., Atlantic City and into New York on the other. Although not linking Wilmington direct, Colo nial also seeks a certificate cover ing a route from Ra-leigh north to Washington via Richmond and south from Raleigh by way of Pinehurst, Camden, Columbia ar.d Aiken, S. C., Augusta and Thomas ville, Ga., to Tallahassee, Fla. While the proposed new. service by Colonial would compete with National Airlines between Norfolk and Jacksonville, via Wilmington, the company does not propose in it’s application now pending, to serve North Florida points other than Tallahassee, but has asked for a certificate for two routes from New Orleans on the South, north ward into Washington. One of these would, like National, also touch at Gulfport and Mobile, and then would cut northeast to Mont gomery, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., Ashe ville, Winston-Salem, Danville and Lynchburg, Va., and on to Wash ington. Other Routes The other New Orleans-Washing ton proposed route would be via Birmingham, Chattanooga, Knox ville, Johnson City, Roanoke and. on to Washington. Still another route asked of CAB by Colonial, would connect Winston-Salem with Savannah, Ga., via Charlotte and Columbia, S. C. Colonial also seeks certification for new routes from New York to Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, De troit and Chiaago; New York to Cincinnati; New York to Spring field, 111., via Pittsburgh and Wew York to Youngstown and Akron, Ohio. Not shown on the accompanying map is another Colonial proposal— a route from Washington to Ber muda via Wilmington and Charles ton with the South Carolina city being designated as the ‘‘hop-off” point for Bermuda, the Canal Zone, and Columbia. Under the plan pro posed to CAB, Wilmington would be the company's secondary ‘‘hop off” point for the Bermuda route in the event of bad flying condi tions at Charleston. This proposal ir especially appealing to Wilming tonians, inasmuch as it would put the gorgeous winter playground that is Bermuda, a scant few hours from Front street and would make week-end flying to Bermuda pos sible for North Carolinians, Colonial has already been grant ed a certificate for a route to Ber muda from New York and this cer tificate is the second granted to a U. S. flag carrier. Pan American holds the first certificate. Colonial plans to start survey flights from Washington to Bermuda early next month and plans to use four-en gined equipment, probably DC-4’s initially and perhaps later DC-S’s. Interest Growing Eastern Airlines also seeks an outlet to Bermuda but via Charles ton instead of Wilmington and for that reason, expansion plans of that carrier are not gaining the attention of Wilmington air travel ers as such. More than a deal of interest however is attached local ly to the forthcoming decision of Old Sunny Brook is made in Kentucky. 29% Straight Whis key blended with American grain neutral spirits.

CAB on routes linking Wilmington with Atlanta and Louisville, Ky. Today the city is being inade quately served from an airlines standpoint. National Airlines, how ever, is already committed to giv ing Wilmington three north and three flights daily just as soon as the VHF range is placed in opera tion. Still badly needed is a di rect route to Washington and At lanta and better service to Ra leigh. Meanwhile, Wilmingtonians with fingers crossed, are playing no favorites. The best possible air line service is what is needed and the company or companies who provide such service will be dou bly welcome at Bluethenthal Field. SCIENTIST CHURCHES STUDY “REALITY” AS LESSON ON SUNDAY “REALITY” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian Science Churches and Societies on Sunday, September 29. The Golden Text from Psalms 62:7. “In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.” Among the citations comprising the Lesson-Sermon were the follow ing from the Bible: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, what soever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there by any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4: 8). And from “Science and Health with Key to the Sci'ip tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “As God Himself is good and is Spirit, goodness and spirituality must be immortal ... If goodness and spirituality are real, evil and mate riality are unreal and cannot be the outcome of an infinite God, good” (Page 277).
