For Dixie
First in your mind, perhaps,
the telephone industry’s prin
cipal contribution to the
South is quick, dependable
communication.
But Southern Bell is also
important as-a citizen, as an
employer of people, as a
payer of taxes, as a pur
chaser of materials. In 1939
alone, operating expenses
amounted to approximately
fifty-five million dollars, not
including additional millions
used for new construction.
To build, operate and
maintain this system requires
more than twenty-one thou
sand skilled workers whose
annual payroll is approxi
mately thirty million dollars.
These telephone men and
women contribute to the busi
ness and social welfare of
their communities, and of
the South. They and their
families compose a group of
perhaps eighty thousand peo
ple who are dependent on
this business for their live
lihood.
As a tax-payer, the South
ern Bell does much toward
the support of the local, state
and national governments.
Total taxes last year exceeded
nine and three-quarters mil
lion dollars, nearly twenty
seven thousand dollars a day.
The Southern Bell Com
pany is a Southern industry
in the fullest sense and its
activities form a substantial
contribution to the growth
and prosperity of the South.

Capital to Get
DeLuxe Airport
Opening on July 4 to Mark
Success of Long Fight
By ihe C. A. A.
WASHINGTON. — “Ever since
commercial aviation became, a com
monplace, three persons have been
at the controls of every plane land
ing at the Washington airport—the
pilot, the co-pilot and God.”
So says a high official of the civil
aeronautics authority, which in one
syear brought a successful conclu
sion to years of agitation for a new,
safe and up-to-date airport in the
nation’s capital.
Materially aided in its fight by
President Roosevelt’s now famous
“dream of disaster”—in which he
saw from the White House windows
a plane falling in flames at the
small, cramped, hemmed-in field—
the C. A. A. is now looking forward
to the Fourth of July when the most
luxurious airport in the country will
be opened across the Potomac from
the dome of the Capitol.
Designed by federal works admin
istration architects, with the co-op
eration of 10 other government agen
cies, the new “air park” will be all
that safety engineering and thor
ough workmanship can make it. It
is just 10 minutes’ drive from Wash
ington.
Land Made Over.
Before the government went to
work. Gravelly point was a spit in
the Potomac river, surrounded by
marshy land, and many of the 750
acres included in the new airport
ore “made” land—created by one
of the most extensive dredging jobs
in the national capital’s history. But
engineers have packed gravel in
firmly, and turfed the area which
now lies about 18 inches above the
all-time high water mark of the riv
er. The airways are surfaced with
super-tough asphalt.
“Few airports in the world,” says
I Robert C. Hinckley, C. A. A. chair
man, “enjoy such favorable sur
| roundings.”
From the layman’s standpoint, the
buildings now being built are the
most interesting feature. The main
administration structure, designed
as a “functional Mount Vernon,”
combines the comfort of modernism
with the red brick and. white pillars
of George Washington's home. The
building, however, is not, nor is it
intended to be, a copy of the fa
mous shrine. It is, says the C. A.
A., “a reminiscence rather than a
repetition.”
many visitors expected.
Located just off the most trav
eled road in the area—the Mount
Vernon boulevard—the new air field
will attract hundreds of tourists
each year. The C. A. A. in ap
proving the designs foresaw that
contingency also. Every feature that
could be devised to care for the
comfort of the casual visitor has
been incorporated in the finished
plan.
Running completely around the
top of the main building, a distance
of hundreds of yards, is a specta
tor ramp, equipped with comforta
ble bleacher seats for grandstand
ers. To one side, completely glassed
in to provide an unhampered view,
is a terrace restaurant, capable of
seating 600 persons. At present the
C. A. A. is receiving bids from ca
terers and restaurateurs who wish
to operate the dining room.
On a lower level is a coffee shop
for the convenience of those who
are in a hurry to catch a plane.
And, best feature of all from the
point of view of the visitor, parking
space for more than 8,000 cars is
provided.

Intelligence Gains
After 40, Tests Say
Even Those Over 70 Show
Higher Mentality.
SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—Do men.
tel powers begin to wane after hu
mans reach the age of 40 years?
On the contrary, intelligence in
creases, believe University of Cali
fornia experts, following intelligence
tests conducted through the medium
of radio by the university “ex
plorer.”
Taking the tests were 2,331 men
and women with ages ranging from
10 to 90 years old. And the average
score for those over 50 years old
was found to be one point higher
than the group average.
Even those over 70 years old
showed a little higher average than
for the combined group—one-half
point higher. Two persons over 85
years of age who took the tests re
ceived grades only one or two points
below the group average.
“The results are particularly en
couraging to those who are nearing
the twilight of their lives,” held Dr.
Frank N. Freeman of the university
staff who conducted the tests.
In the younger groups individuals
10 to 19 years old made about eight
points lower than the group average,
while the 15-19 group by itself made
just about the whole group aver
age.
Dr. Freeman said the tests could
not be held to invalidate earlier find
ings of a distinct drop-off of intelli
gence in oldsters of large groups,
but the tests do indicate there are
considerable numbers of older per
sons whose mental abilities are as
keen as those of younger individuals.
Monarch of Aborigines
Dies as He Predicted
SYDNEY.—King Jaringoorli, the
aged monarch of the Australian Wol
min Yowaroo tribesmen, predicted
his own death to within a few mo
ments.
When a native woman brought
him a cup of tea in the native hos
pital at Broome, western Australia,
he told her that it would be the last
he would ever receive from her. He
drank the tea, settled himself calm
ly in bed and died.
Jaringoorli was a fine type of na
tive. Although he was about 90 years
old, he stood tall and erect and he
retained his faculties to the end.
His tribe were the original inhabi
tants of the northeastern part of
Roebuck bay, on which the township
of Broome now stands.
The old king was tremendously
proud of two scars caused when he
was seized by a shark when he was
diving for shell in his youth. After
the attack he was dragged to the
surface and his wounds sewn with
ordinary needle and thread.
Lore of Indian Alien
To Youth of Full Blood
PITTSBURGH.—Kenneth Talchief,
19, full-blooded descendant of the
Seneca and Cayuga tribes, never
saw a peace pipe, wouldn’t camp
out because “it’s too much trou
ble” and admits he saw his first
Indian ceremonial a few weeks ago.
Kenneth, with his sister, Garnette,
18, resides on the North Side here.
“Just because we’re Indians,”
Kenneth declared, “people expect us
to live out of doors, in tents, speak
the Indian language and do an In
dian war dance every now and
then.”
“Camping is too much trouble,
and although my parents speak In
dian, I’ve never learned.”
Kenneth and his sister vacation
anually with their relatives in
houses and wear American clothes.
But, he explains, “even on tfie res
ervation the Indians live in houses
and wear American clothes.”
Kenneth, who bears the tribal
name given to his grandfather be
cause of his height, is an outstand
ing local athlete.
Minister Joins Colors,
Wife Takes Over Pulpit
IPSWICH, ENGLAND.—The con
gregation of Tacket Street Congre
gational church, Ipswich, were not
deprived of their Sunday sermon
because the pastor had “joined up.”
His wife substituted for him and
completely “stole the picture.”
Mrs. O. D. Wiles, the parson’s
wife, did not stop for lengthy words.
She told simply and graphically to
some 300 fascinated listeners—most
ly women—the story of the Prodi
gal Son, and turned it to account by
encouraging mothers to wait confi
dently for the return of their sons
and husbands from the present
crisis.
Woman Taxi Driver
Calk Job Enjoyable
SHELBY, OHIO.—Maintaining
day-and-night taxi schedules is
"enjoyable work" to Mrs. C. L.
Miller, one of the country’s few
woman cab drivers.
Mrs. Miller’s cab service be
gan a year ago when she decided
she wanted a new home. Her
husband gave up his factory job
to build it, and she opened a cab
company.
Now Mrs. Miller, who has a
five-year-old son, finds it easy to
keep up a 500-mile weekly driv
ing average.

War Turns Eyes
To Greenland
Comment I* Aroused Over
Island's Status Under
Monroe Doctrine.
WASHINGTON.—Germany’s occu
pation of Denmark has stirred com
ment in the Western hemisphere on
the status of Greenland because of
the Monroe doctrine, which was en
acted to thwart "future colonization
by European powers" in the New
world. The island is separated from
northeast Canada by narrow chan
nels.
“Greenland is the only overseas
land under Danish influence having
the status of a colony," says the
National Geographic society. “Ice
land has been inflect an independ
ent realm, but rCognized the Dan
ish king as sovereign! The Faeroe
islands were clashed as a ‘county’
by Denmark.
World’s Largest Island.
“Greenland is the largest island
in the world," continues the bulle
tin. “It would require almost three
land areas the size of Texas to cov
er Greenland. If the island could be
set down on the United States with
its northernmost point on the Cana
dian border at North Dakota, its
southern tip would extend to the
mouth of the Rio Grande at Browns
ville, Texas. At its greatest width it
would spread across the United
States a distance equal to that from
New York to Chicago. Yet it has
only 16,000 inhabitants—400 Danes
and the remainder Eskimos.
“The island lies approximately in
the same latitude as the Scandina
vian peninsula. While Greenland is
flanked only by icy Arctic currents,
Scandinavia is bathed by the warm
Gulf Stream. In midwinter Green
land temperatures range from SO to
60 degrees below zero. Willows and
birch trees grow only from 15 inches
to three feet high.
“Mosses and lichens and a few
hardy flowers and shrubs spring to
sudden life in the summer along the
ice-free fringes of coast, but few
vegetables except radishes, turnips
and lettuce can be grown. Eskimos
live on polar bear, seal, walrus, car
ibou, white whale, narwhal and
musk ox, varying this diet with fish
and the eggs of the eider duck, the
brant goose and gull.
Buried Under Ice.
"A vast ice sheet covers the is
land. The snows of millenniums
have built up a crystal blanket that
in places is six or seven thousand
feet thick, burying deep valleys and
mountains alike. Central Greenland
is a huge plateau of snow and icf,
sufficient to cover the entire United
States with ice many hundreds of
feet thick. This tremendous gla
cier has countless tentacles that ex
tend down into the coast fjords, ever
feeding icebergs to the ocean.
“Angmagsalik, a village of sever
al hundred Eskimos and a handful
of Danes—a trader, missionary, doc
tor and a few minor Danish offi
cials—is the only permanent settle
ment on the European side of Green
land. In the summer the flow from
glacial rivers centering at Angmag
salik tends to break the ice flow
from the north, thus affording the
best approach to the coast.
“When the famous Viking, Erik
the Red, discovered Greenland in
983 A. D., he established a settle
ment west of Cape Farewell, on the
coast facing Canada. On the narrow
ice-free strip of coast some 5,000
Scandinavians maintained a colony
at Ivigtut and another farther north
for several centuries. They built
substantial houses, a cathedral, 16
churches, a monastery and a con
vent. The settlement disappeared
before Columbus’ discovery of
America.
"Northwest Greenland was ex
pired and occupied as a base for
American polar expeditions, notably
by Peary and Greely.
"The towns of Greenland are few
and unimportant. Godhaven, the
chief settlement, on the west coast,
has only a few hundred inhabitants.
Julianehaab, near the southwest
point of the island, is close to the
site of the settlement of Eric the
Red. •
"Greenland’s principal export has
always been blubber, mostly of the
seal, from which oil is made. Dan
ish imports of blubber, together with
skins, salted and canned fish, eider
down and feathers, amount to
$1,500,000 a year. Denmark sells
mostly food-stuffs, tobacco, arms
and ammunition, lumber and hard
ware to her colony, for which Green
land pays about $600,000 annually."
COMPANY ORDERED TO
CEASE DISCOURAGING
A. F. L. MEMBERSHIP
The National Labor Relations
Board today announced an order di
recting Standard Knitting Mills, Inc.,
Knoxville, Tenn., to cease discourag
ing membership in the A. F. of L. s
Federal Labor Union No. 21751 by
dischaging, interfering, demoting, or
refusing to reinstate any of its «m
?iloyees because of their attempts to
orm, join, or assist labor organiza
tions of their own choosing. The Board
also ordered the company to offer
reinstatement and back pay to Sheri
dan A. Pique and Oral Watson and
to award back pay only to six addi
tional employees. Two alleged cases
