17 PAD Employees Pick Up 38,300 Points
PAD Still in the Running as Tip-Top Passes Halfway Mark
This is basketball season, and any team that can produce almost two points a minute is practically a cinch to win. That’s exactly what the PAD did during the past two weeks in the Tip-Top Contest.
Well, almost, anyway. Every minute during that period saw 1.9 points added to the PAD total!
Contributing most of the scoring punch was Captain Gib Blackmore with 9,987 points. Right behind him was Seattle co-pilot John Gel-latly, who collcted 5,104 points. Next came Willard Wright, SFO steward with 4,960 points. Stewardess Evelyn David scored again with 3,068 points, and right behind her was Paul Chaple of Seattle Flight Service with 2,136 points.
Seattle co-pilot Herman Hamel picked up 1,840 points. Next came three with 1,800 points each— Clarence Cahoon of Production Control, Clifford Fo of Engine Overhaul and co-pilot Bob Alexander.
Other point winners were Dake Anderson of Seattle Flight Service, 1,296, Dixon Morehouse of the Art Group, 1,086, Ray Runnells of Seattle Cofnmunications, 900, Egi-dio Bertoia of Radio Maintenance, 711, Maurice Hatlem of Los Angeles Traffic, 500, Marguerite Wilhite of Communications, 500, Al Lopes of Sheet Metal, 500, and Bill Nance of Seattle Maintenance, 330.
There’s still time for the PAD to \ catch the leaders. See your section \ Tip-Top director for any material ! you may need to make a sale.
IT'LL BE FREE
The San Francisco Panair Club has a free dance coming up. The date is February 12th. Watch for details.

PASSES THE QUARTER-CENTURY MARK
The picture at left shows Bill Eldridge in front of the Port au Prince, Haiti, airline terminal building. It was taken almost 25 years ago, when Bill was Pan American’s airport manager, senior representative, chief mechanic and traffic salesman. At right he is shown with San Francisco’s nearly-completed new terminal building in the background. It would seem that there’s been more changes in terminal buildings than in Bill.
A PACIFIC-ALASKA DIVISION FIRST
Buildings and Facilities Manager Bill Eldridge Receives Division's First 25 Year Service Pin
In December of 1928 a young man traveled from Washington, D.C. to Miami to visit his folks for the Christmas holidays. Ever since he had been ten years old he had been interested in model airplanes. He used to hang around the Washington airport, where he had obtained his A and E licenses and learned to fly by the time he was seventeen.
So it was that while he was in Miami young Bill Eldridge walked into the offices of Pan American Airways “just for a lark.” He was immediately hired as a first-class mechanic.
In less than a month he was transferred to Santiago, Cuba, preparatory to Pan American’s extension of service from Havana to Puerto Rico. By the middle of
1929 Bill was serving as an “autopilot” or “wheel-holder” on Clipper flights between Miami and Havana. Actually, he was a combination co-pilot and flight engineer. The trip that today takes 50 minutes used to reauire two hours and 15 minutes of flying in a Fok-ker F-10.
During this time he also flew between Miami and Central America and the East Coast of South America. He was aboard the first non-stop flight from Cristobal, Canal Zone, to Kingston, Jamaica, with Captain Basil Rowe. Taking seven hours, the trip was the longest over-water hop in scheduled airline operations.
In 1931 Bill entered the airport manager field, serving first at Hav-(Continued on Page 7)

The 1954 dollar, is still worth par when you invest it in your Panair Club. Despite its own rising expenses, the club has decided to keep the membership tariff at the former low level.
