night, an early breakfast and an
easy auto trip to Kansas City to
catch the plane. Mrs. Allen was Just
saying, There isn't cloud in the
sky; you'll have a favorable take
Off" Just then the telephone rang
and the airplane agent at Kansas
City said, "A fog is predicted in the
Missouri River Valley. Drive down
here at once and cacth the 8 o'clock
plane out for Indianapolis In two
hours. You'll have to hurry. We
might not be able to fly in the morn
Ing"
That started the rush. Every
thing went well. The automobile
driven by a solicitous friend landed
me on the Kansas City field in time;
by midnight was in indianapolis.
In the Indianapolis Hotel I
dreamed Of fog, but the sky was
clear when I climbed into my seat
at noon on Friday and buckled on
my seat belt. I was due to reach
Miami at II o'clock that night, to
fly for South America at tbs Sat-
urday morning, which would land me
In Lima at noon Monday, the fourth
day from Kansas City.
Fog Forced Return.
At Louisville and Atlanta I was
on time; as we sailed out of Geor-
gia and down to within IS miles of
Jacksonville, Fla, I was on time.
Then came the announcement that
a fog drifting in from the ocean
would make it impossible to land at
Jacksonville. We hadn't enough gas
to fly over Jacksonville and on to
the next filling station south, but
there was an emergency field back
at Alma, Ga, hundred miles. It
would only delay us an hour and q
half in our arrival at Miami, where
We had a leeway Of hours, so why
worry!
When we landed at the little emer-
gency field at Alma we found that
they were equipped for practically
every emergency Of the air traveller.
They had cotton for any aching
ears, coca-cola, chewing gum-eight
different brands-moving picture
magazines and chocolate bars. The
only emergency for which the field
was not equipped was gasoline suit
able for airplanes, which must have
a special octane content. They
found some, after hours Of inquiry,
at Waycross, Ca, and in due time
a truck came chugging over to act
as first aid to the stranded airplane.
So at II o'clock Saturday morning
left Jacksonville, Fla, to catch a
cutter Of the Pan-American Airways,
which had sailed promptly at tbs,
A travelling companion who is to
assist me here had arrived at Miami
from New York to catch that plane.
He scanned the field looking for me-
He couldn't understand why I hadn't
turned up. The Eastern Air Lines
that had brought me down appar-
emily hadn't notified the clipper that
she had passengers who had been
delayed by failure OF their plane to
connect. My friend was mourning
out loud-begging the Pan-American
Airway people to hold it for while,
but they couldn't delay.
Besides" said the steward drop
Evening star., 1938-12-20

ping his voice to a respectful pitch,
"he may have got to town and gone
on binge-they do that some
times"
There were other connections
missed and the dozen of us lined
up before the ticket agents and
walled. Some were bound for Ha-
vana, some for the Argentine and
Rio, some for Venezuela. It was
soon disclosed by listening to them
that their lives and personal for
tunes would be ruined entirely by
the three day delay which most Of
us would suffer before the next
clipper ship. 1t seems to me that
my fate was as bitter as any. +
would only arrive one day ahead of
the ship-even If I had no more
bad luck.
The reflection which caused me
real irritation came from the fact
that the delay would have been
easily avoidable.
1t was revelation that the weak
est line in the airplane travel is the
ground service. They have perfected
to a fine degree the engineering
problems, but the ground personnel
doesn't grade up to the technical
service. Nothing but the rankest
lncompetency was responsible for an
emergency field unequipped with
gasoline, which is the outstanding
purpose of maintaining the field.
We lifted from Miami with fine
feeling touching the competency of
the powerful clipper ship of the
Pan-American Always.
We left at 7:15 m. Tuesday, and
IN two hours we were landing in the
harbor OF Cienfuegos on the east
coast of Cuba; three hours later we
were pointing out the rigid we'll
keptness of the landing dock and
buildings in British Kingston.
The clipper ships shock a land
lubber some as they land and take
off. When they go through the
water at high rate of speed the
ocean boils up until you seem to be
riding in a submarine.
Arrive at Barranquilla.
At Barranquilla by the entrance
to the Canal Zone, we landed at
4:45 in the evening, having crossed
the Atlantic to Cuba, flown over the
mainland of Cuba and then the Ca
ribbean Sea, to arrive at the point
in South America where the United
States has worked one Of the great
miracles on the American hemi-
sphere. Barranquilla is prosperous,

West Indies, the Caribbean and the

was to take Job In the engineering
department of the Pan American
Airways.
We landed in Peru at 8 o'clock on
the morning Of Friday. We had
missed all our dates, but we had made
the goal, which was tho conference.
In spite Of the delays, which were
called acts Of God, and the involun-
tary vacation Of three days at Miami,
which I have already called by its
right name, I had been only a week

So we celebrated little as passen-
gers do on an ocean liner the last
night out.
We astonished the town by having
a dinner party at the leading restau-
rant. There were some interesting
passengers aboard, including the
Cuban Ambassador to the United
States, the dean Of the department
Of history OF the California State
University, Mabel Vernon, leader of
the woman's movement called "The
Peoples Mandate for Peace; several
newspaper correspondents, including

A city Of only 100000 people, it sur
prised us with a great hotel, the
Prada, built 10 years ago to meet
the growing travel. There is not as
impressive a hotel in Lima.
We were up at 4:30 Wednesday
morning, and two hours after our
take-of were landing in Colon, where
passengers were given an hour to
rest up at the very modern WASH
ington Hotel, which looks and smells
distinctly North American. At noon
we had crossed the isthmus, flying
over the canal all the Way across.

finally got through, but no one COM
planned about the lost day, and while
we could no longer hope to get there

night was Guayaquil. Then when
we arose to go on our way rain had
begun to fall and clouds were wash

our pathway. We climbed to a
height Of 10000 feet, but the storm
was getting heavier, so we came
down and waited for two hours, tried

see nothing but clouds beneath us;
then we circled to the ocean coast
looking for a way out, came back to

For Senate Tonight
Congressman Charles Jonas To

Meeting At p. M.
TO MEET AT SPRINGS

Hon. Charles Jonas, of Lincoln
ton, United States representative
for number of years and Republic
can candidate for the United States
senate against the incumbent, Sena-
tor Robert Reynolds, will be the
guest speaker at the Jeffersons Ro-
tary club meeting tonight, at the
Bromine-Arsenic Springs hotel.
A number of Rotarians from
the Lincolnton club are expected to
attend and Mrs. Reeves Gambill
will render several solo selections.
The meeting has been designated
as ladies night" and local Rotari-
ans are expected to take their wives
or SweetheartS.
The local club planned to meet
with the Boone Lions club at the
state fish hatchery for a fish sry
Tuesday night, but somehow the
wires got crossed and the proposed
intercity meeting was postponed.
j. Lester Segraves, cashier of the
First National Bank here, gave
splendid vocational talk at the last
meeting. He discussed some of the
problems of banking and then brief
ly outlined three essential elements
in any vocation.
Mr.. Segraves stated that the First
National Bank has a policy of le-
niency in dealing with its custom
ers. From 1921 through 1885 he
said the banks net loss on pay
ment of notes amounted to less than
one percent, which is quite a record.
. ''In vocation there are three vi
tai things to be considered" he de-
clared and outlined them as fol-
lows: first, know yourself; second,
know your business third, know the
folks you do business with"
"We, as individuals, are import
ant, but we are not all important.
Each one of us should stop and anal
we ourselves and ask such ques-
tons as, Am I trustworthy? Can
I meet obligations? Am I a good
neighbour
Everyone should be honest with
himself and be able to make up his
mind, he stated.
The speaker was introduced by
Gwyn Gambill, who is in charge Of
the program for September.
A little attendance contest in the
form of baseball game was start
ed at the meeting and the following
three captains chose up: DR.. Hunter.

Congressman Doughton oil d
newspaper reporters, upon arrival in
