In this issue of the CLIPPER you will find the printed results of the Survey recently conducted in cooperation with the Division of Industrial Relations at Stanford University.
As was the case in the previous Survey, all employees at the main base, in the flight group, and those at line stations to whom the questionnaire would be meaningful were invited to participate. I believe from the results in terms of numbers of employees that most of you availed yourselves of the opportunity. I am sure you will find the results as interesting and helpful as have I.
It has again been a pleasure to note the sincerity and constructive nature of almost every expression of criticism and praise. The responses to the specific questions and your written comments reflect a wholesome and personal interest in your Company. The number of written comments makes it impractical to reproduce them as was the case in the past. We have, however, included with the results a few typical examples of comments received. These
were selected from subjects on which comments were made with some frequency. The analysis of the results is now underway.
You are assured that your ideas and suggestions, along with the information received from Stanford, will be carefully considered and will be put to use to the greatest extent practicable.
Your cooperation in contributing to this Survey is sincerely appreciated, and we are hopeful that again each of our supervisory personnel can benefit from this experience by strengthening our weak points and safeguarding the strong.

SFO Management Club Will Hear Boeing Sales Manager
Bill Taylor, commercial sales manager of Boeing, has accepted an invitation to speak to the San Francisco Management Club one week from tonight. He will discuss the 707 at the club’s meeting at Bob’s on Broadway in Burlingame.
WELL STOCKED
Barbara Vieira of Honolulu Ground Service, who was Miss Hawaii last year, was well prepared when she hopped a Clipper for Los Angeles just before New Year’s. She represented Hawaii on the city of Alhambra’s float in the Tournament of Roses parade. Barbara took along the long woolies just in case the temperature was a little low for a warmblooded tropical miss. (Just don’t pull the wool over our eyes!)
Pago Pago Will Become Clipper Slop This Month
DC-4 To Provide Service To American Samoa From Nandi
On January 24th Pan American will inaugurate service to American Samoa.
Passengers on regular South Pacific Clipper flights will make connections at Nandi for Samoa. The new service from Nandi to Tafuna, the airport for Pago Pago, will be operated with DC-4 equipment. This is the same aircraft that presently operates between Nandi and Auckland.
The trip will operate once a month and will require four and one-half hours.
Because the Samoa-bound Clipper will cross the International Date Line passengers who depart Nandi at eight o’clock Friday morning will arrive at Tafuna at 12:30 p.m. Thursday—the day before they left.
Round-trip fares between the West Coast and Pago Pago are $1,035 President and $799.20 Rainbow tourist. Between Honolulu and Pago Pago the round-trip fares are $793.80 and $612 for President and Rainbow, respectively.
The U.S. domestic and international scheduled airlines carried 60 per cent of all the passengers carried by the airlines of the free world in 1955.

SFO Management Club Gives Santa An Assist
Club Co-Operafes With Marine Corps Reserve To Collect Toys
The San Francisco Management Club just before Christmas participated in a program with the Marine Corps Reserves of San Mateo County to provide toys for under-privileged children.
The Marine Reserves conducted a similar campaign last year and collected approximately 3,300,000 toys in 210 cities and towns throughout the United States.
This past Christmas the Management Club assisted the Marines in the worthy project by putting a toy collection box in the cafeteria. The generosity of PAA employees in contributing new and nearly-new toys was sincerely appreciated by the Management Club, the Marines and most of all by the children who otherwise might have been overflown by Santa.
Management Club President Lyle Warner received a letter of thanks from Lt. Col. T. M. Leineweher of the Marine Reserve, who said, in part:
“Without the wholehearted cooperation from such an organization as yours we could not have enjoyed such a tremendous success in providing toys for the less fortunate tots of our local communities.”
