arranging any extra services for
passenger comfort.
“Miss Black was appointed as
check stewardess because of her
outstanding administrative abil
ity,” said Sector Traffic Manager
Sydney Smith. “Our new steward
ess service, during its first three |
months of operation has been j
highly successful, and has been I
well received by our Alaskan pas- !
sengers. The staff has recently j
been increasd to 18 to handle the
I
additional flights we are planning j
for the near future.”

Mike and Tony on too young to remember their
father.
Joe died in Africa, at Kasserine Pam, in a
battle that already seems long, long ago ...
Died for his country—though Joe might
r have put it differently. What America meant to
Joe was mostly Mike and Tony: the opportu
nity it meant for his kids.
A college education. A real start in the
World, and freedom to grow in.
And fhey're going to have It I
^ I'm buying War Bonds—and keeping them.
They’re the safest investment on earth.
In lees than ten yean now, I’ll have four dol
lars for every three I put in. That’s as good as a
33% pay raise! That money will go a long way
to educate the kids, to establish them In lift
the way Joe wanted.
And it’s comforting to know the money’s
theret if I need it—against any emergency that
may come.
Joe did his part for our children. I’m going
to do mine. I’m keeping my War Bonds—and
buying as many new ones as I can.
