Chamber Gets
Letter from Head
Of Airlines
J A DuRoii nuniMr of the
| J. A. DuBois, manager of the
Morehead City Chamber of Con
| uierce, this week received a letter
( from T. H. Davis, president of
I Piedmont Airlines, relative to the
j chamber's protest to Piad wont's
! oroDosal to curtail summer Mr
Mr. Davis said that the airliafs
application filed with the Ciwl
Aeronautics Board, is "somewlnft
misleading" in that his firm dotfk
not intend to eliminate May and
September flight* entirely.
Mr. Davis says. "Actually, the ap
plication is filed oa such a basis
that we would be permitted to be
gin or terminate service any time
during May and September, rath
er than the definite date of May
1 and October 1.
"As our records indicate, the
number of passengers served be
gins its rapid upswing the latter
part of May and drop* off immedi
ately after the Labor Day weekend.
Wc would propose to begin service
early enough In May to take care of
the bulk of this traffic, perhaps
about the middle of the month, and
not terminate service until at least
after the Labor Day weekend in
September.
This action is purely and simply
an economy measure. As you are
aware, our airline is presently sub
sidized to some extent and It is ab
solutely necessary that we do ev
erything within reason to docraaa*
the amount of subsidy required
where this can be done without in
conveniencing a large number of
passengers. Even during the supi
mer months, the number of pas
sengers boarded at Morehead has
not produced enough revenue to
take care of the expenses involved
in serving that point. We are most
hopeful that the volume of traffic
will continue to grow in order Uut
the Civil Aeronautics Board may
not later direct us to suspend ser
vice entirely."
The old Davis House on Front
street, Beaufort, has been sold by
F. R. Bell, Beaufort, to Marcils
