PAN AMERICAN TO PUT BOEINGS ON SOUTH PACIFIC OPERATION
A PORTRAIT BY YOUNG IS A MUST
Yes, it’s a “must” if you want to get around much any more. Bob Young of the San Francisco Suggestion office has spent the past three weeks on the shooting end of a camera taking pictures that will be used on the employe badges. Bob says this shot will look just like Duane Reading of the Jig Room. Present indications are that the badges will be ready for distribution by the end of February.
HOPE YOUR PICTURE'S GOOD, BUT,..
Good or Bad You'll Have to Wear That Badge To Roam in San Francisco's Restricted Area
"Best Ever" Membership For SFO Panair Club
Successful Campaign Assures All Members a Fun-Filled Year
The San Francisco Panair Club has just completed the most successful membership campaign since its beginning back in the Alameda days.
After selling over 1,000 memberships the drive has been officially closed; however some flite crew members have not yet been contacted, and they will be given an opportunity to join. Likewise, all new employees will be extended the privileges of the club.
Proceeds from this year’s drive were twice those of last year. Much of the credit for this should go to the individual representatives who personally < contacted every employee. A particularly fine response was achieved in Maintenance, where Arleen Brown, Dick Ford, Mo Pot-vien and Don Newport did the selling. Biggest gain over 1949 figures was recorded among the office and flite personnel.

A PEAK EFFORT
San Francisco Panair Club President Barney Frizell is congratulating Jack Peak, chairman of the membership drive, on achieving the greatest number of members in the club’s history. The budgeted total of 1,000 has already been exceeded, and a few more are expected as flight crews wander in from the Deep Cenpac Division.
As soon as the badges now being manufactured are ready for distribution—probably the latter part of this month—an identification system will becom’e effective at the San Francisco base.
There will be just two areas on the base for security purposes—one restricted and one not restricted. The interior of the Administration Building, the interior and exterior of the Terminal Building, and the passenger ramp area will not be restricted. An identification badge will not be needed in any of these places.
ALL OTHER BUILDINGS AND AREAS AT PAA’S SFO BASE WILL BE RESTRICTED.
An identification badge must be worn at all times in such areas.
When each employee receives his badge he will sign a custody receipt for it. The charge for replacing a lost badge will be two dollars. Upon termination or transfer employees must turn in their badges to Industrial Relations.
If you lose your badge, report it at once to your supervisor, who will arrange for a replacement badge.
If you forget your badge, it will be necessary for your supervisor to come to the guard gate, issue you a “Visitor’s Pass”, which can be exchanged for a temporary employee’s badge at the guard house. (It should be sort of obvious that you’re not going to win any popularity poll with your supervisor if he has to come down to the gate to get you in for work. Better to remember your badge).
Flight crew members IN UNIFORM will not need to wear their badge.
Under no circumstances should an employee loan his badge to any other employee.
Provisions have been made for the issuance of visitors’ badges at the guard house or receptionist desk.
Now, one last word—where to put your badge:

Sydney Offered Luxury Of PAA Strato Clippers
DC-4's Will Continue to Operate Between Fijis and New Zealand
It is planned that a Boeing Strato Clipper will depart Honolulu on February 28th bound for Sydney, Australia, via Canton Island, Nandi and Auckland. This flight will inaugurate Pan American’s long awaited B-377 service to Australia.
This trip will be a revenue and proving flight, except for the Auckland-Sydney portion, which will be a proving flight. Existing bi-lateral agreements do not permit Pan American to serve Australia via New Zealand or New Zealand via Australia.
Consequently, the first schedules published for the route will show B-377’s flying into Sydney only. This (Continued on Page 2)
I'M STUPIDER THAN YOU THINK
Yes, and it’s getting later than you think, too. There’s less than two weeks left to get my name into the Clipper editor. February 28th is the last day that names will be accepted; so rush one in right now. Use the entry blank provided in the last issue or just a plain sheet of paper will do okay. There are three prizes for the winners. If I weren’t so stupid I’d enter the thing myself.
