PAAers Approve Dues Amendment
Ex-Navy Man Hired as New Business Manager for Club
San Francisco PAAers approved by an overwhelming majority the amendment to the Panair Club Constitution at a recent election.
The addition to the constitution, which formerly considered all in PAD members of the Panair Club, calls for the collection of yearly dues.
Dues charged will be $1.00. This will entitle employees to reduced rates at future club dances, discount privileges, participation on athletic teams, and other advantages offered by the club.
At the same time, the Panair Club’s new president', N. V. Mihail-off, announces that a new business manager has been hired to fill the post which has been vacant for the past several months.
Gerald E. Roots
Gerald E. Roots, formerly in charge of the Navy Ships Service at Treasure Island, has taken over. His navy career extends over a period of 30 years, 16 of which were at sea. Having retired prior to the outbreak of the recent war, he was called back to active duty in 1941 and helped mobilize the naval reservists in the 12th Naval District.
In 1941 he also took over the T. I. Ships Service, which at that time was a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the Panair Club’s present business ventures. But the Ships Service, under Roots direction, grew to be big business, and when placed on inactive duty in January 1945, he continued to run the Navy Store in a civilian capacity.
The club feels quite fortunate to have a man with his background and business experience.
Announcement as to the exact uate the Panair Club membership drive will get underway will be forthcoming soon. Elsewhere in this issue of the Clipper is the second in a series of articles on the Panair Club by President Mihailoff. Today he discusses the financial status.
Cooperation Is Drive Password
Eldridge Gives a Few Suggestions to Follow
Each year they have National Dog Week, National Shoe Week, National Donut Dunking Week, and scores of other types of weeks throughout this great Nation of ours.
Now Pan American’s San Francisco base is going to have its own week. It is an important week, and, unlike most weeks, everyone in Panamville, San Francisco will be able to participate. In fact, every PAAer is expected, and should want to take part.
The week starts next Monday, May 19, and ends on Friday, May 23. It has been designated as “Airport Clean-Up Week.” The people of Buildings and Facilities are sponsoring the campaign.
Take a look around the airport grounds, San Francisco PAAers. It is easy to see there is a definite need for each of you to assist and cooperate in improving general appearances.

“Doc” Coleman, “the man with a friend in every office,” checked out of Pan American last Friday, May 10, ending his 55 year career of repairing typewriters.

Flying Polar Bear
What, no icebergs? A baby polar bear from above the Arctic circle looks around Pan American’s express office at Seattle for familiar piece of ice. On the way to the Oklahoma City Zoo, the bear was flown 1,700 miles by Clipper.
“He was no trouble at all,” said Fred Dunn, district traffic manager at Fairbanks, who was aboard the same flight.
“Friendly little cuss, too," said Freddie, as he swung his hand away from some very sharp and hungry-looking teeth. The bear was caged enroute.
lot of companies, a lot of good ones in my time,” said the typewriter “Doc” last week, “but I’ve been treated nicer here than anywhere. It’s the best company I’ve ever worked for.” He meant it. For as he bid farewell to some of his many PAA friends last Friday, there were tears in “Doc’s” eyes.
Another Safety Award to PAA
Second Award Made by the National Safety Council
For the second time in two months, Pan American’s safety record has received national recognition.
On May 12 in Chicago, the National Council announced its 1946 Aviation Safety Awards. And PAA led the list. Quoting from the Safety Council's announcement:
“Among the largest air lines — those flying more than 300,000,000 passenger miles in 1946 — Pan American World Airways Inc., was selected the winner for 1946. At the close of 1946, Pan American had accumulated 963,794,211 passenger miles since its last fatal accident on August 3, 1945.”
Fifteen other U. S. airlines were also honored for completing their 1946 scheduled passenger operations without a single fatal accident. They included Pan American-Grace Airways, Northwest, Braniff, Delta, Chicago and Southern, National, Northeast, Continental, Mid-Continent, Colonial, Hawaiian, Inland, Caribbean-Atlantic, Uraba, Medellin & Central, and Pioneer.
On March 19, Pan American’s perfect 1946 record was recognized by the Inter-American Safety Coun-citl. All Divisions, including PAD, received Inter-American Safety certificates.
Big ‘Air Fair'at San Francisco Base Hay 25
The San Francisco International Airport—formerly the PAA terminal—is to be the scene of a gigantic Air Fair Sunday, May 25, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the first successful flight a-cross the Atlantic from New York to Paris by Charles A. Lindbergh on May 20-21, 1927.
The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard are going to exhibit their latest type equipment, as are all commercial airlines and private plane manufacturers.
PAA is taking an active part in this big show being sponsored by the Aviation Committee of the San Francisco Junior CJhamber of Commerce. A PAAer, Pat Sullivan, of the traffic department ,is acting as chairman. He is expecting a crowd of more than 50,000 people to attend the Fair.
