The Clipper Crowd NEWS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PERSONNEL OF PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS By Nancy Humphreys

NEWS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PERSONNEL OF PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS By Nancy Humphreys Wedding plans for the latter part of March are being made by a couple in the Communications Department whose courtship has been watched with great interest by their many friends throughout Pan American. Now happily house-hunting are Miss Marion Frederick, one of Carroll's Dinner Key Radio beauties, and Ray Bourret, flight radio officer. They plan to have a small wedding at one of the Catholic churches in Greater Miami to be attended only by members of their families and intimate friends, followed by a reception at Mr. Bourret's home at 1217 Algeria Avenue, Coral Gables. Date of the ceremony is dependent upon the arrival of Mr. Bourret's parents from New York city. M. T. Szabo is to be best man; Mrs. Elbridge Mills, matron of honor. Miss Frederick is a graduate of Miami Senior High School; Mr. Bourret is now attending the adult extension courses. On a three-week inspection trip to Rio and Buenos Aires is J. A. Zalduando, of Traffic. He left Miami last Wednesday morning at 6:45 a. m. on the Strato-clipper. Also South to Rio and Buenos Aires last Wednesday went the affable Andre Priester, vice-president and chief engineer of Pan American Airways, on an inspection trip. Mr. Priester spent about a week in Miami before heading south on the Brazilian Clipper. The Pan American Airways Miami Employees Federal Credit Union is holding its annual meeting next Tuesday, January 28th, at 8:00 p. m. in the Immigration room at the Dinner Key Terminal. Every member, depositor or borrower, is requested to be present, as two very important items have to be brought up. Th first is to decide on the amount of dividend to be paid, and the second is the election of officers for the year 1941. Every member has the privilege of making nominations from the floor for the offices to be filled. However, the Nominating Committee has the following to offer: For Board of Directors: W. Keagle, Municipal Airport, B. W. Reeser, Construction, F. C. Bennett, Engineering, D. W. Thomson, Accounting, F. Micka, Engineering, Dena Stanley, Operations, E. Bassett, Communications, K. Fagan, Radio Shop H. Dunn, Reservations. For Supervisory Committee: N. C. Rowe, Accounting, Eloise Perry, Accounting, D. Reise, Purchasing. For Credit Committee: Blanche Elmore, Operations, W. A. Zachary, Radio Shop, W. L. Thompson, Fabric Shop. Since the Credit Union boast a membership of 863, it wil be impossible to take a roll-call at the meeting. Therefore, members are asked to bring their account books with them to show at the door on entering, in order that a record may be kept of those in attendance. Just in case you think General Accounting hadn't enough good looking girls already, just take a look at some of the new ones. Miss Marjorie Jones, former secretary, who was previously temporarily in Purchasing Department, is now in the Rear-car Building. Then there's Miss Jean Beveridge, another recent acquisition, sister of Miss Peggy of the Division Manager's office, and Miss Ruth Joyce Cole and Miss Flora Finochiaro, to boot. Two men recently added to the Accounting Staff are Ralph M. Kennedy and Albert H. McGough. New helper on the Plane Overhaul crew is Harold W. Phillips, who was employed as replacement for H. L. Abrams, recently transferred to the DC3-A maintenance crew. Among the new mechanics at Dinner Key is Walter A. Lowe, 520 S. W. First Street who is in the Motor Shop. The first DC3-A for the Eastern Division (NC 28301) arrived at Municipal Airport last Monday, January 20th, after a 5 1/2 hour non-stop flight from Brownsville, Texas. The ship left Brownsville at 8:35 a. m. E.S.T. and arrived in Miami at 2:05 p. m. E.S.T. And this time was by way of New Orleans, as the plane followed a land route. On board were H. L. Abrams, H. A. Andrews, Jr., Arthur Smith and J. F. Roberts, who had been in Brownsville for training. The second DC3-A (NC 28302) was scheduled to arrive in Miami yesterday. Two birthday cakes were lighted to celebrate the 16 (?) birthday January 15th of Miss Alice Smith, of the Central Reservations Control Office. One cake with ten candles was presented to her in the afternoon by the men in her office; and the other (with twenty candles) made its appearance at the dinner party given that evening by Mrs. Dora Waddell at hr home at 3112 McDonald Street, Coconut Grove. The action of the former (chicken a la king) enhanced even more the reputation Mrs. Waddell already enjoys as <24> cateress, according to Miss Smith by her fellow laborers were one of her most intriguing mysteries, gossip answers no. At dinner party were the Misses: Agatha Wayne, Virginia Flemming, Betty Loesel, Lillian Perry and Elizabeth Pritchard, and Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Menocal, Jr. Claude Lee, 5801 Pine Tree Drive, and Robert Lee McCullers, 227 S. W. 13th Street, are new traffic representatives in Central Reservations Control. That pert young redhead toiling away in the Operations Department is Miss Anne Lindstedt, who is replacing Miss Alta Johnson, who resigned recently. The last party honoring Miss Mabelle Bliss during her stay here was that given by Miss Bertha Edwards and Mrs. Blanche Elmore at the home of the latter at 160 N. W. 34th Street. A buffet supper was served at twelve. Among those attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Donald Humphrey, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gobat, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest McCracken, Mr. and Mrs. William Pritchard, Mr. and Mrs. William Barker, Mr. and Mrs. James Jensen, Ralph Hartley, Miss Jane Knuck, Miss Joyce Wainwright, William Vulk, Dudley Edwards, Fred Tunis, Harry Sanborn, Vincent Yeskett, Alan Hostick, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hendricks, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Unger.

Humes, White Hold Exhibit At Blue Dome

An unusual exhibition will open on Sunday, January 26, at the Blue Dome Gallery of the College Cupboard. Ralph H. Humes, president of the Blue Dome Fellowship, will present a series of clay and bronze animal studies, while Thor S. White, second vice-president, will exhibit his mural sketches which have received considerable notice. Humes, one of America's foremost animal sculptors, has twice been winner of the Speyer Memorial Award. A keen perception of the motions and habits of wild life combine with clay and bronze beneath his fingers to breathe and pulse with life. Works to be included in the exhibition are two statues that have received prizes for the best in the show at the Corcoran Galleries of Washington, D. C., and one that won the gold medal at the Florida Federation of Art in 1937. Thor S. White, rising young artist, is exhibiting an unusual feature in conjunction with Mr. Humes' sculpture. A complete series of his mural sketches will range from mirrored panels and decorative screens to a 19 by 36 foot mural entitled "Festival at Venus at Cyprus," which the artist recently executed for the Biltmore Hotel. Although one of the youngest artists in the Fellowship, Mr. White has exhibited a natural flair for the decorative with a penetrating analysis and sound draftsmanship to merit well the position he occupies. The sketches range from cavorting animals and decorative plant forms to period pieces and symbolic work, all done with an original turn. The exhibition will continue until February 7th, and will be open to the public from 9:20 until 9, daily.

Contract Stations Planned For Grove Post Office

Coconut Grove, like other congested U. S. postoffice stations, is on the taboo list for a much needed postoffice building, due to defense projects expense, but within approximately two months two "contract" stations will be established to care for increased business in the area. Postmaster George E. Merrick, commenting on the matter of pending increased facilities in the Grove, said "there is a decided need for larger postoffice quarters in the Grove. I have worked aggressively on the matter for some time, but since we cannot have a new building for a year or two, the next best solution for the situation is to establish two supplementary stations." The regular postoffice branch in the Anthony arcade will in no way be affected or moved, he said. The new contract stations will simply ease up the congestion in that office. One contract station will probably be established in the vicinity of Grand Ave. and Douglas Road, to accomodate colored patrons, the other to probably be in the vicinity of Bird Road and Mary Street. Announcement was made this week, of the completion of installation of a large oil burning heater in the Grove postoffice. Equipped with automatic ventliator fans, the heat, from an is piped to the heater from a 50 gallon storage tank.
