The Clipper Crowd

FLYING AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE PERSONNEL OF PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS By NANCY HUMPHREYS On this glorious Fourth (and glorious three-day weekend!) the Clipper Crowd has scattered in every direction—flying, motoring and boating, and all having a wonderful time, we hope. For the first time in several years the company did not give a Fourth of July party in Hangar "C"—perhaps because of the increased precautions being taken to guard Pan-American property. However, it is rumored that there will be an extra-special Labor Day party instead, so company property to compensate. There probably never have been ten young men so anxious to leave Miami as the group of English flyers who were graduated from the Pan American Airways navigation training section at the University of Miami last Friday. To a man, they wanted to get "over there" and have a chance to be a part of the bombing expeditions over Germany. These young men were the first Englishmen to complete the fifteen - week course; 150 new British cadet-flyers arrived to begin classes July 7th. Receiving their diplomas at the same time were 53 United States Army Air Corps cadets, members of the fifth class to be graduated from the school. The English flyers graduated were Edward William Anderson of Totnes, James Bannon of Liverpool, John Davies Blaine Banting of Carshalton, Leon Reginald Goad of London, Alfred Beazley Marsh of Lee-on-Solent, Donald Rogers Moring of Sutton Coldfield, Edward D. Sharman of Haconby Bourne, Leonard Taulton of Birming-ham, Peter H. Waterkeyn of London and Thomas W. W. Woodford of Birmingham. Back from the division manager is up and around again after a rather serious throat in-fection. He was away from the office almost two weeks. On July first 21-passenger Douglas DC-3A's began the regular scheduled hops to Havana from Municipal Airport in Miami. Three flights to a day (8:10 A. M., 1:10 and 3:40 P. M.) will be operated during summer months. Prior to the opening of the new night service to Havana, H. C. Dobbs and B. W. Reeser flew over to inspect "Rancho Boyeros Airport." Sales Manager George Smith from Buenos Aires was seen at Dinner Key this week renewing old acquaintances. When Robert Cook telephoned his secretary the other day on wasn't his surprised to hear her say, "Sorry, boss, your desk is gone; there's no place for you!" Mr. Cook, who is a special representative working on the Airport Development Program, has been away the line on his longed stay—and things have been happening fast in Miami. The A. D. P. offices moved from the Congress Building over to the duPont Building — some of the offices are on the tenth floor and some on the fourteenth. Also on the seventeenth floor of the duPont Building are the general accounting offices, which moved from the Reardon Building and third-floor-rear. Aviation Building. Tenants remaining in the Reardon Building now are: the link trainer, the operations radio classroom, the navigation classroom, (which is also used as a pilots' meeting room), and part of the communications department. Now on the third floor of the Aviation Building (in addition to the executive offices) are public relations, meteorology, and part of engineering. Both engineering and operations have expanded on the second floor. In the Brickell Building the gals in purchasing and communications have more elbow room without blowing each other over. Notes from the Dinner Key-hole Peeker: Let's have a quick look-in at the PAA Glamour Boys and see what they do when they're not winging our Silver Clippers over South America. . . . We're mighty proud of our Captains and Junior Pilots and the fine part about it is that everyone agrees with us! Captain Doxey has made countless friends through his orchid hobby, (he saves stamps, too, as a sort of side sideline) . . . Captain Denton Terrell, the blond and very handsome junior athlete, showed his worth as a real tennis threat in these parts when he gave Christy Park Wal-ters an honest-to-goodness tough fight in the tournament finals—but Bruce Michael, about to be checked out as a Captain, has other ideas for Dent . . . they're dividing bachelor quarters and Bruce says Dent's got to take up golf again or the deal's off! . . . our new Junior Pilots had better look to their laurels with these two charming Captains back in town . . . General head quarters for the younger junior Pilots, incidentally, is the Spanish bungalow in the Gables, which is shared by the inimitable foursome, O'Donnell, Reise, Wilson and Minor . . . it's always open house there and someone is always ready for a game of badminton on the side lawn . . . you're simply not in the social swim if you don't stop by before going to the Country Club on Saturday night . . . Elwood Leep usually joins the Junior Pilot table at the Club on Saturdays . . . the rumor is rife these days that his favorite topic of conversation is in the bag that say she is quite charming . . . The League of Proud Papa Pilots has admitted a new member—Bob Evans is still walking on air and his new son is about seven pounds of very good reason . . . we understand that the league is on the verge of admitting another new member, Junior Pilot Hester, to be followed up by a renewed membership by Junior Pilot McCafferty. He who was to have been the "perennial bachelor" has at last been charmed into the "solitaire" ring. And soon will join the "platinum" band. August 16th is the date set for the wedding of Carl Hankins, of Accounting, and Miss Ann Wiley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Wiley, 934 N. W. 4th Street. Mr. Hankins is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hankins, 434 N. W. 23rd Place. Miss Wiley, a native of York, Pa., has been a resident of South Florida since 1926. She attended schools in West Palm Beach and Miami. Mr. Hankins, who has also lived here since 1926, attended the University of Miami. The young couple plan to spend their honeymoon in Western North Carolina. 'Long about tomorrow morning Miss Christina Kurilchik, of Communications, will be singing "Home, Sweet Home"—for she is way en route by streamliner to Wyandotte, Mich., for a brief visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kiprian Kurilchik. On July 13 she is scheduled to return to her bunk at 3475 Royal Road, Coconut Grove. Miss Charlotte Harmsteed of Executive Offices, expects to be off this week-end for a three-weeks' combined vacation and business trip to Ohio. She will be accompanied by Mrs. F. M. Beveridge, mother of the Miles. Joan and Peggy Beveridge. Francis (Mike) Meeker has planned the sort of vacation from which it requires weeks to recuperate. Not satisfied with driving Pan Am's mail truck all day to earn his steak and potatoes, Mike is going to drive to the Canadian woods for a week's fishing. He will have to drive two days and a night each way without stopping in order to complete his purposed itinerary on schedule. Incidentally, he's going by way of Wisconsin! Division Communications Superintendent Carroll looks pretty snappy in his new big, black Buick convertible. He's now on a motor trip to New York and New England. The C. Berwind Harjes and daughter have returned to their home in Coral Gables after a glorious Colorado vacation. The Division Engineer has lost, temporarily, two of his "right hands." Edwin Farnham, 3855 Stewart Avenue, Coconut Grove, is motoring to St. Louis on vacation, and Miss Margaret Sheehan, secretary to the Division Engineer, is en route to Canada, following a plane trip to Mexico City.

Pique Bathing Beauty

THE TREND BACK to feminine furbelows is very evident in this fetching white pique bathing suit worn by Gale Storm, heard on many Columbia network programs from Hollywood. Notice the long torso lines of the bodice trimmed with bright red rickrack braid, the very full skirt and the pair of bloomers. Her woven-leather beach shoes with platform soles are tri-toned to match her suit.

SERMON TOPIC

The Rev. Carlock Hawk, pastor of the Methodist Church, has chosen "Consecration for Others" as his sermon topic for the eleven o'clock service Sunday morning.

Pay Available For Teachers

Tallahassee, July 3—Sufficient funds to pay teachers and bus drivers for the coming scholastic year were expected to be available this month from increased receipts from the half cent gas tax, and other sources, State Eupcrintendent of Schools English announced today. Doubt has been felt that Governor Holland proposes to transfer some of the surplus from the past year's school funds to the payment of general revenue bills, the Beverage Department will have a sizeable amount to contribute to the financing of schools from its income from the gas tax and tags.

This ONE'S ON YOU

(Continued on Page 4) contend with "stork interference." On Friday a Riviera representative had an appointment with C. J. Hartley, manager of Breeding's Drug Store, to discuss an advertising campaign. He arrived on the dot to find that Mr. Stork had horned in and that Mr. Hartley was making a flying trip to the hospital to be on time to meet him. The stork, however, was not as prompt as the Riviera representative, and didn't show up until 11:30 Saturday morning. He made up for his tardiness by delivering C. J. Hartley, Jr.—weight six pounds. VICE MAYOR'S DILEMMA—Those of you who remember old Mack Sennett slapstick comedies will appreciate the predicament in which Vice-Mayor Wallace A. Bell found himself Saturday night when he attended the Lions Club installation as official representative for the city. During the course of the program a "Quiz-Bee" was staged with prizes ranging from white rat's to whole watermelons. Mr. Bell, by answering a question, won a melon, but the way in which he received it took him completely by surprise. The master of ceremonies accidentally dropped fat and it broke on the edge of the table right in front of the Vice-Mayor, covering him from head to toe with melon juice, pulp and seeds.

GABLES FLYING GROUP FORMED TO AID DEFENSE ACTIVITIES

Pledging 100 per cent cooperation in home defense activities, a group of Coral Gables men this week formed a flying club, with the object of training themselves to serve as pilots. Organization of the group was civilian pilots who serve on patrol duty in light planes, spotting enemy raiders and notifying the combat divisions. The group will also offer its services in liason work. In addition to obtaining flying instruction, the local men plan to purchase a light training plane in which to take their lessons. A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 20 members has been established for the charter roster. An organization meeting is planned for the near future, at which time a name will be selected for the club, officers elected and a charter drafted. According to C.A.A. regulations, each man must receive eight hours of dual-control instruction before being allowed to solo. Several similar flying groups have been organized in Miami during the past year, but this is the first club with a membership limited to Coral Gables residents. Organizers of the outfit include George Rawlins, A. L. Lancaster, O. B. Sutton, Carl Warth, Fred Oppenborn, Robert Morningstar, E. R. McMorris and Harry Bell.

Miss Rhoden Celebrates Anniversary

Ann Rhoden, observing the successful conclusion of two years in the beauty culture profession in her own salon, invites all of her friends and patrons to visit her shop during her anniversary week. Miss Rhoden is pleased to still be serving patrons who came to her since she first started practicing beauty culture in the city.
