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

By Nancy Humphreys No wonder we've all been working our heads off this last month-9,427 passengers came through Dinner Key and Municipal airport in January! This was an increase of 22.8 per cent over December and 15.3 per cent more than January, 1940. And for a more astounding comparison-these 9,427 passengers made our travel total 85.3 per cent ahead of January, 1939. (At this rate, maybe we'll get a bonus again next year.-Gentle hint.) That good looking nurse, Miss Katherine Schiele, who for the last month has been "holding down the fort" in the First Aid Room (on the north side of Hangar A) now has a "commanding officer"-Dr. D. T. Bell, who is available to Pan American employees every afternoon in the First Aid Room. Dr. Bell, who is assisting Dr. John T. Macdonald, is also resident physicia at University Hospital. Dr. Macdonald is medical director for P.A.A. in Miami. J. L. LaPointe, 765 N. W. 40th Street, has been doing lots of gadding about lately. First he was sent to Brownsville for training on the DC-3A's; and now, after a short stip in Miami, he has been transferred to Merida, Mexico, as instructor for the local station mechanics on the DC-3A's. Mr. LaPointe is a mechanic, first class. Mrs. Sylvanus Tunis (the former Elizabeth Sudlow of Coral Gables) probably feels like a grass widow by now. During the last month Mr. Tunis, flight engineer for P.A.A. in the Atlantic Division, was sent to Lisbon for eighteen days, and just last week he spent four days in Coral Gables visiting his family at 1125 Almeria Avenue, before heading south to Belem, where he will be on the crew of the Atlantic Clipper headed to New York. And all the while little Betty has been sitting not too patiently at home. Does the Indian Head pin which Miss Frances Manning is now sporting serve as a reminder of the Indian hero she found not so long ago? To Brownsville to attend the meeting of the Air Transport Association February 3rd through 5th flew Humphrey W. Toomey, Division Engineer, and George Eyer, Jr., Shop Superintendent. Miss Vera Grunwald had to come to Miami on vacation to look at her with the flu. Miss Grunwald is the house guest of Miss Peggy Beveridge, of 3059 N. W. 18th Terrace; they became friends when they both lived in Fernandina, Florida. Miss Grunwald 'lows an how as soon as she gets well she's going right home, too.

Annual Poppy Day Tomorrw Will Raise Legion Funds

Once each year we are asked to buy a little red poppy . . . that blood red symbol of the last World War, that grew so courageously in the fields of France and Belgium, despite the ravages and heat of battle. It was Nature's own tribute to the courage and sacrifices made by thousands of brave men during that war. Today these modest replicas of those real poppies are the insignia of the valour and suffering not only of those who made the supreme sacrifice, but of the men who still bear the scars of battles fought over there . . . of those who since that war have been physically or mentally handicapped in daily reminder of those other war-torn days. Many of these men are in the Veterans' hospitals here in Florida. The poppies we will buy and wear tomorrow were made by these veterans. They were cut, fashioned and wired together by men who still having the use of their hands, help support their families with the penny they receive for each blossom made. American Legion Auxiliary women who distribute the poppies receive nothing for their work tomorrow . . . but they will be happy in having helped brighten the memories of men who gave their lives in battle and in assisting and contributing to the welfare of the families of these remaining. Money dropped in the coin boxes will be used in welfare activities of both the legion and auxiliary and in supporting these two great service organizations. Understanding the meaning of the poppy and the use to which the funds earned from its sale are put, none will turn a deaf ear to the appeal made tomorrow. We will buy and wear the poppy with pride and drop as large a coin in the box, as we can each afford. Thirty five members of the Lindley DeGarmo Post No. 70, auxiliary, will distribute poppies for sale throughout the day in Coconut Grove, under the supervision of Mrs. George J. DeGarmo, chairman. Headquarters will be in the Anthony Arcade. Florida's circuit judges met in Tampa last week with Attorney General Tom Watson to draft their biennial recommendations to the Legislature.
