By Chuck Hauser
Os all the school teachers in
the United States, nearly 70 per
cent have never been up in an
airplane.
Eastern Air Lines, which ar
rived at this figure, also deter
mined to do something about it.
The company thought school
teachers, of all people, should be
acquainted with modern, methods
of transportation.
So Eastern established what it
calls its ‘‘Educational Air Lift."
Last year some 50,000 teachers
were taken on the free flights.
So far this year the program,
being conducted at airports in 17
major cities, has provided flights
for 41,000 more.
I went along on one of these
Educational Air Lifts the week
end of the Carolina-Okluhoma
football game in Chapel Hill.
Shortly after I arrived at the
•w Raleigh-Durhum Airport
rminal building, i took a seat
along with a number of teachers
from Chapel Hill and Durham
and listened to a briefing by
William lteid, national manager
of religious and school travel for
Eastern. It was more of a pep
talk.
“It’s not an ocean,” Mr. Reid
was saying, “it’s a river. It’s
not a matter of days or weeks,
it’s a matter of hours.” To prove
his point about how fast travel
was these days, Mr. lteid revealed
that in 83 hours, any person sit
ting in that room could fly to
any point on the face of the
earth.
“Our planes are cruising 300
and 400 miles an hour now, and
t>e’re still in the propellor stage,”
e continued. “We’ll be going
600, 600 and 700 miles an hour
soon when we reach the jet stage
of commercial aviation, and when
we get to the rocket stage we
will be traveling a thousand
miles an hour.”
I was getting dizzy from all
that fast traveling, so I was glad
when the announcement was
made that Flight 5 was ready to
load up.
I boarded the plane and found
a seat beside Mra. James Duke
(the former Helen Morrison of
Chapel Hill), who teaches eighth
grade at Lowe’s Grove school. I
ted her if she was among the
per cent who had never flown
before.
“I’ve flown in small private
planes,” she confessed, “but I’ve
never been in an airliner before."
We were taxiing down the run
way when the stewardess came
down the aisle and reminded Mrs.
Duke that her seat belt wasn’t
fastened. Mrs. Duke corrected
the matter, and remarked that
sher had gotten a chuckle out of
her class the day before.
“‘Just think,”’ she quoted one

New Raleigh-Durham Airport Building
Is Dedicated Saturday by Gov . Hodges
The new and modem $425,000
air terminal at Raleigh-Durham
Airport, built entirely without
federal aid, was dedicated Satur
day by Governor Luther Hodges.
Durham and Wake Counties al
located the construction funds
over the past 15 years.
Served by Eastern, Piedmont
and Capital Airlines, the airport
represents a $4,000,000 operation
and bids to become the state’s
leading terminal. Already plans
are under way to expand the new
dedicated facility with a partial
second floor and new control
tower.
The new terminal has a spa
cious waiting room, which will
accommodate 100 persons.
In one wing is the ticket con
course and the other contains a
restaurant seating 200 persons.
The waiting room contains
telephones, an automobile rental
office, telegraph booths and
lockers. Restrooms are just off
the waiting room.
The restaurant is visible from
the waiting room through glazed
windows and is entered from the
waitjng room.
The three airlines that serve
the airport have office space to
the rear of their ticket counters.
The arrangement of the ticket
concourse, waiting room and the
airlines’ baggage check rooms is
such that there is no crossing of
traffic between those boarding

Knowland Surprises Audience, Defends Chiang Only Once
By Louis DeJean
The “Senator from Formosa,”
Republican William Knowland of
California, was in top form when
he ran through some of his No-
Deal power plays last week in
Hill hall. He quarterbacked for
Chiang Kai Shea's half million
Nationalist troops only once, and
gave plausible justification'
"They immobilize some two
million Communist soldiers who
might otherwise be pouring into
North Korea or Vietnam."
It was for the slave states be

Knowland was carrying the no

under the auspices of the Caro

Benator Knowland delivered
his prepared address with dig

The baggage claim area is un

Chapel Hill Dentists Still Solidly in Favor of Fluoridation
