PAD CITED FOR OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECORD
Final Red Cross Drive Tally
Approximately $1050 was contributed by Pan American Employees in San Francisco to the Red Cross, Ivy Lee, Jr., Chairman, has announced. This amount is in addition to that contributed by employees through their home solicitations.
The largest amount, $400.00, was contributed by the Maintenance group which was under the leadership of W. B. Greenough.
News Flash on Big Dance
The San Francisco Panair Club is tossing their next big dance at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, April 18. The tariff: $1.50 per person. This is the first hotel dance the club has held in over two years. It promises to be terrific.
It’s a sports dance, and the music will be furnished by Ray Hackett’s CBS orchestra.
Tseveral Million Miles Flown Without Accident All Operating Divisions Honored With Safety Award
For having flown nearly 44,000,-000 miles without a flight accident or fatality to a passenger or crew member, Pan American World Airways has been honored with the 1946 Aviatipn Safety Award of the Inter-American Safety Council.
Contributing heavily to this record was the Pacific-Alaska Division, which received one of the Council’s coveted certificates. Statistics for the Pacific-Alaska Division show that 15,600 route miles, 3,568,271 flying miles and 75,044,243 passenger miles were flown during 1946 to Honolulu, the South Pacific, the Orient, and in Alaska without an accident.
All Pan American operating divisions, including Pacific-Alaska, Atlantic and Latin American, were hon-

What Do You, the Owners, Think of the PAD Clipper?
Last issue we presented a new and, we believe, improved Clipper. The Clipper is BY and FOR the personnel of the Pacific-Alaska Division, Pan American World Airways. Therefore, we would like to ask you, as a Pan American employee and one of the owners of the Clipper:
1. How do you like the new Clipper ?
2. What else would you like to see in your newspaper—more sports, more social news, more names, more pictures, etc?
3. Have you any other suggestions for further improvement?
Just send a post card or short letter addressed to:

CARD MAILED FIVE YEARS AGO ARRIVES
“The Mail must go through!’’
Yes, sir, the United States Post Office Department recently proved to two Pan American employees that despite a war, a lapse of five years, and a little matter of probably thousands and thousands of miles, the mail does “go through.’’
Way back on December 1, 1941, over on the Gold Coast of West Africa, a Pan American employee, Fred Tilney, dropped a Christmas card in the mail addressed to two good PAA friends stationed in Manila, Thurm Erickson and Don McCann. This month, over five years later, the card was delivered to the pair, now stationed at San Francisco.
Where that little card has been all this time, not even post office officials can answer. It is calculated it was nearly to Manila on that black, fateful day of December 7. It has returned to Africa several times. One thing is certain, it did a lot of traveling, while the men it was intended for remained behind the barbed wire of a Jap Prison camp at Santo Tomas.
5.F. Men Off for Manila
Richard E. Fisher and Larry Dickey were Manila Bound this week, and the present Station Operations Manager at Manila, Jules Ficke, will soon be San Francisco bound. Ficke is being relieved by Larry Dickey. Also off for Manila was Dispatcher Dick Denton and his wife Betty.
Thurm Erickson, PAD Industrial Relations Manager, (left), and Don McCann, engineer of the S. F. Weights and Standards staff, (right), receive a Christmas card which took a little time to reach them.
Skating Party Success
Last Tuesday, March 25, the San Francisco Panair Club held a roller skating party at the Rolladium in Burlingame. As expected, the evening was packed with fun and spills, with over 100 in attendance. Melva Harp acted as chairman of the event and deserves a vote of thanks for doing an excellent job.
Hopes High for Softball Team at San Francisco
Tony Orgain, manager of the 1947 edition of softballers, is more than pleased with the initial turn-out for the club. He expects to field one of the strongest teams in the history of PAA, San Francisco this year.
Several workouts have been held in the past two weeks and within a few days Orgain expects to announce the roster. The team will be limited to 15 men.
The PAAers will be sponsored by the Panair Club as usual. They have entered the Burlingame League this year. The latter is considered the fastest league on the Peninsula.
The next issue of Clipper will carry a complete team roster, and results of early season practice games.
Service to Melbourne
Extension of the present SoPac Clipper service from Sydney to Melbourne, financial center of Australia, was proposed by PAA last week in an application to CAB for an exemption order, which pointed out that (1) 40 per cent of through Pacific traffic originates or terminates at Melbourne and (2) Australian National Airways already enjoys the advantage of regular scheduled service to the U. S. from both Melbourne and Sydney.
Remember the Panair Club’s dance on April 18 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.
