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

By Nancy Humphreys Now Mr. and Mrs. are the former Miss Marion Frederick and Raymond R. Bourret, flight radio officer for Pan American Airways. The simple wedding ceremony was performed in the rectory of St. Peter and Paul's Church by Father Bremen at sundown on March 26th. The bride was attractively gowned in a French redingote ensemble; her toyo-straw hat, adorned with a dainty veil, was also blue. She wore a corsage of orchids. Only members of both families and attendants were present at the ceremony. Mrs. Elbridge Missildine was matron of honor; and M. T. Szabo, best man. Following the ceremony a large reception was held at Mr. Bourret's home at 1217 Algeria Avenue, Coral Gables, where the couple will reside until Fall. The last shower honoring Miss Frederick was that given by Miss Consuelo Prado at 2907 S. W. 22nd Avenue last Friday evening. Midst much hilarity, all the old superstitions were observed. By three infallible rituals, Miss Dorothee Jadrouik was marked as the next bride—but who the lucky man is, she would not tell. Congratulations Maurice N. Hastings, 2351 S. W. 15th Street, of Pan Am's Propeller Shop, and Miss Donnace Rainey "took the plunge" last Saturday evening. Nothing printable was accomplished at the meeting last Monday evening of the P.A.A. Camera Club at Dinner Key Terminal, reports their unofficial reporter. Among those who "chewed the rag" were: Ernest Hawkins, E. L. Berounsky, W. A. Critchley, Frank Micka, George Ivey, Ralph Dobbins, Burt Hogsett, A. A. Smith, W. S. Doxey, and C. L. Chauncey. From Minneapolis came Robert W. O'Keefe, now employed in the Engineering Department of Pan American Airways. A brother-in-law of R. C. Zinn, holds a degree in Business Administration, which he received in 1938 from the University of Minnesota. Another new face in the Aviation Building is that of Miss Ellane E. Thomas, of 911 S. W. First Avenue. Miss Thomas has been employed as secretary to John Dey, advertising representative, to take over the work of Mrs. Lorraine Brooks Weber, who is now secretary to J. A. Zalduondo. More new faces: Junior Pilots Ralph A. Botthof and David G. Raub; C. E. Welch and Thomas Cox, clerks in accounting; and Edward J. Seniza, helper in Maintenance. To honor the birthday of Miss Nancy Volk last Friday, Miss Marie Sanders sponsored a luncheon in the Clipper Dining Room at Dinner Key Terminal. Gay flowers and a birthday cake decorated the table. Among those present were: Miss Helen Proctor, Mrs. Bessie Hendricks, Miss Marie Jackson, Mrs. Irene Reel, Mrs. Lillian Mullner, Mrs. Dorothy Ford Davies, iss Edith Copen, and Mrs. Jessie Patterson. And that popular Miss Volk certainly got a flock of presents! The lower lobby in the Aviation Building really looks spruced up now, with a new carpet, reconditioned furniture, and even a receptionist. The friendly young lady who greets all the visitors is Miss Minnie Irwin. Fortunate to hear Metropolitan artist Richard Crooks when he broadcast on a nationwide commercial program from the auditorium of Miami Senior High School were Pan Am's: Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Hanger, Miss Elizabeth Tunis, Miss Peggy Beveridge, Miss Zella Smith, Miss Christina Zuriliche, Miss June Graeger, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Sullinger, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Sullinger, Kenneth Faggis, Mrs. Val Lewis, and Miss Virginia Fiedeler. Already installed on Eastern Division Boeings and Douglases, oxygen apparatus is soon to be used on S-42 and S-43's, in compliance with a recent Civil Air Regulation, which states: "No air carrier aircraft shall be operated in scheduled air transportation at an altitude exceeding, continuously for more than 30 minutes, or at an altitude exceeding 12,000 feet above sea level for any length of time, unless such aircraft is equipped with an effective oxygen apparatus and an adequate supply of oxygen available for the continuous use of the operating crew, and proper use is made of such apparatus". S-42's and S-43's regularly cruise at about 11,000 feet. This new equipment will consist of an individual mask for each member of the crew, together with an auxiliary outlet in the forward entrance compartment for the passengers' emergency use. Candid camera fans and advocates of studied art are both eligible to compete in the new snap contest sponsored by Public Relations Department of P. A. A.'s Eastern Division. The rules are very simple: For the best picture of the month, taken by a Pan American employee, depicting Pan American activities, its equipment or personnel, the cargoes, and passengers it carries, anywhere in the world, NEW HORIZONS will pay $10.00; and $2.00 for all pictures published in NEW HORIZONS. Each picture submitted will become eligible for a $100.00 prize for "the best picture of the year"; and will be considered for the annual Pan American Airways Christmas card. Only employees of Pan American and its affiliated companies are eligible to compete. For each entry send original negative and one print. Also 50-word description of scene or subject pictured. Also snapshot and identification of the photographer to: PAA—Public Relations, Miami, Florida. You might have a negative on hand that you'd like to submit, it doesn't necessarily have to be a brand new one. Just submit the negative to Public Relations, Miami, and they will have prints made to be submitted to the editors of NEW HORIZONS in New York.

Highway Jottings

It is more than idle rumor . . that Coconut Grove is in for some business expansion. Miami real estate experts claim it is not far distant . . . Anthony Arcade is undergoing a little remodeling and expansion project all its own—there will soon be three additional shop spaces there. The Grove Haberdashery Shop is due soon, to be managed by new people . . the owner informs us. Each noon we see pretty girls and sleek-looking young men hastening down the highway to the Theatre Grill for those good lunches . . . and the short walk back to the village is just right to kill that groggy interlude following luncheon. George C. Snowdon Jr., at Snowdon's Service Station, is back for his convalescence. An expert work his shop turns out, on automobile body and fender repair work. Mr. Connolly's compact tailoring and dry cleaning shop (next Western Union) seems to be doing a right smart business. Reliability and high-class work again proves that it pays in the long run! Sparrow's Nest, Dixie Highway and Douglas, serves delicious sandwiches nthings after the show. Plenty of free parking there.

Notables Visit In Grove

Recent prominent guests at the Broadview Inn from Indiana, were Senator W. E. Genner, Dr. Norman Beatty, Richard T. James, Frank Camp Bellshay, James L. Broford, Nelson Erauian, Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, Harry Fenton and Col. Roscoe Turner, well known pilot who "planed" them down from Indianapolis.

YOUNG COUPLE END VISIT

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Clarke, recent guests of Mr. Clarke's parents Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Clarke, South Bayshore Drive, have left to reside in Jacksonville, where Mr. Clarke is in the construction business.

James T. Willson Will Speak To Grove Civic Club Members

Superintendent of Dade County schools, James T. Willson, will speak on "Financial Situation in Our Schools", at the meeting of Coconut Grove Civic Club in the Housekeepers Club, next Thursday at 8 p. m. Explanation of crowded schools and need of facilities will be discussed by Mr. Wilson. County tax assessor, J. N. Lummus, Jr., will talk on "Taxes as Related to our Schools", in a survey of school taxes, and C. E. McMullen, member of Hotel and Apartment House Owners Assn., and vice-president of the Little River Civic Assn., will also speak. Because the civic by-laws do not provide for filling of executive board vacancies caused by death, a portion of the business session will be given to election of officers. Dr. Stewart Lee Jeffry, first vice president of the group, has been acting president since the death of George Bliss Wells, on February 19. Judge Halsted L. Ritter will report for the playground committee, and Louis DeF. Downer, membership chairman, will report on new members.
