 CHICAGO-Sky travellers, kind ly step right up. It's time to give the snappiest salute you can mus ter to those women with wings the airline stewardessess.
 They are 15 years old, in terms of service, this month and they have gone long way from the old days when eight of them com prised the sum total of flying fe- males who bolstered the courage of timid passengers with well chosen words and cold chicken lunches.
 It was May 15. 1880, when a purposeful young feminist with her eyes on the skies and vision in her heart, stepped aboard a Boeing tri-motored plane at the San Fran cisco airport. She wore a uniform, cape, and cap that looked like a tired bun warmer, worn within mere inch above the eyebrow.
 The airline stewardess service, most streamlined of all feminine careers, was just beginning.
 First Stewardess in Service
 The Five" of the skies was Ellen Church, now a captain in the Army Nurse Corps air evacuation service. Since her first trip for United Air Lines between San Francisco and Chicago, every do- mestic airline in the nation plus a dozen foreign airlines have adopted the stewardess service.
 However, the service was strict ly Ellen's idea. She enyisioned t and she sold it, accompanied by an arresting smile and soaring en- thusiasm that wouldn't brook "No'' from airline executives wfo,, at first, had their doubts. Miss Church was a nurse in San Fran. cisco hospital, learning to fly in her spare time. She had winged conviction that she and others like her could promote the advantage of air travel among timid pas sengers, the pioneering few who were beginning to look to the clouds for commercial travel.
 Miss Church went to United and officials were skeptical. Pilots called in to confer on the proposed plan scowled. Passengers were nuisance to them since their prime interest was pushing the m ail through. Passengers were pests and passenger service. features simply meant more pests. They did not like it-not even a little bit.
 But Ellen Church was a sales
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-06-30

man, a visionary with a shrewd business sense and finally the ex- ecutives saw her point-up to a point! She could recruit seven others, they said, and give it a try.
 So Ellen called on those other flying ''firsts," Margaret Arnott, Ellis Crawford, Ava Johnson, Har- riet Fry, Cornelia Peterman, Jessie Carter and Inez Keller.
 Today, incidentally, Miss Arnott is a private nurse in Del Norte, Colo; Miss Crawford is a nurse in San Francisco; Miss Fry is Mrs. William H. Wisner of Chicago; Miss Peterman is Mrs. John Tyson of Piedmont. Cal; Miss Carter is Mrs. l.. E. Bronson of Mineral, Cal, and Miss Keller is Mrs. R. J. Fuite of San Francisco. Miss Johnson died several years ago after a Wyoming automobile acci- dent.
 The airline officials may have been dubious, the pilots downright irked, but the Whammo. It loved the ladies of the skylanes. It loved the way they pacified waiiing infants, whipped out the spirits of ammonia for the weak of stomach; supplied magazines to
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-06-30

tine literary-minded and generally made plane place of hospi- tality.
 Air travellers definitely liked the stewardesses and demanded more. Miss Church then employed 20 more girls to fly United's Pacific Coast route between Los Angeles and Seattle.
 It did not take the girls long to break down even the pilots re- sistance because they began taking care of pilots as well as passen- gers, serving them coffee and sand wiches. N
 Today, If an airline trie'. to dis patch flight without a stew ardess, the first screams would probably come from the pilots, say airline officials. Romance note: According to the passengers serv- ice department, most of the girls resign to marry pilots.)
 Before the war, all stewardesses had to be registered nurses, but since the wartime demand for them, United Airline eliminated this qualification, substituting two CT more years of college education.
 Over 1000 Flying Today
 Under this wartime policy, more than 300 "co-eds" have gone aloft.
 Mortality" among stewardesses is high, the average length of serv- ice being 14 months, with Dat or Davil Lo-o-o-o-ove causing 99 per cent of the resignations. Currently more than 1000 stewardesses are flying the domestic airlanes.
 Many are the changes these fly ing maidens have seen in fifteen years. They have flown in success sively larger, faster and more com fortable planes-from the Boeing 80-A's to Ford Tri-motors, to the first twin-engined all-metal Boeing FATS and on up to the present-day DC-3 Douglas Mainliners.
 They have seen their food serv- ice change from the box lunch of cold sandwiches and chicken to an era of full-course hot meals.
 Hundreds of their ranks have joined the Army and Navy Nurse Corps and are serving on the bat tlefronts of the sky-evacuating wounded.
 Today they are serving Uncle Sam in increasing numbers but to- morrow they will return to the airlines in expanding ranks to work in high-speed, four-engined luxury liners handling new gen. eratiop of air travellers, genera ton no longer having to be "sold" on the safety and speedy travel afforded.
