Mrs. G.. w. Barrett, who gives

manager, and I thought you'd
like to know about Mrs. Barrett

Der of her same plight crew.
Mrs. BareM's note:
"Since you r preparing a new
official map of the City of Will
mington and are endeavoring to
end the confusion in street names,
it seems timely to suggest that
something be done about the
name of a street, boulevard. high

the following na1-.es:

Busy as he doubtless is with his
duties at the State Department and
busy as the members of the

these facts about Spain when the
communists here, including some
refugees and many American

Franco and demanding action by

scourged the Spanish people again
with civil war.

The City Is Asked To Come To Aid
OfLady Whose Address Is Confusing

the block between Country Club
Blvd. and the new city limits -
North Carolina Highway 20.
According to the new map Of
the City of Wilmington - U. S.
Highway. No. "a and No. rs, also
Country Club Pines, also Hy-
drangea Place which part of it
used to be before the highway was
constructed; now Hydrangea
Place begins where it forks from
the highway and the houses are
now numbered beginning at this
point.)
The highway designations are
frequently confused with similar
house numbers in Winter Park,
old Wrightsville Turnpike, and
Wrightsville Beach; and the N. c..
No. 20 has sometimes been inter-
preted as North Court, Oleander
apartments. Strangely enough,
there are no highway signs any
where to indicate that this route
is N. C. No. 20, thus visitors from
other cities looking for an address
on N. C. Highway No. 20 are at a
total loss.
"Our suggestion in regard to
giving this highway, which is now
a city street, a permanent name
is to call it Oleander Avenue from
it's dead end at Dawson to the City
Limits beyond the Oleander Court
apartments. We know, however,
that there was once a small I'M
paved road known as Oleander
Avenue, but this is known as South
Live Oak Parkway, so that there
will be no conflict. 1t would be
we'll for one street in the former
subdivision of Oleander to bear
its name.
I'VE suggest that street signs
be erected Immediately to end
this postman's, expressman's.
visitors, and residents night
mare"
AS I say, the letter was signed:
Mrs. G.. w. Barrett, Address: los
Heaven Knows Where.
1t is easy for me to sympathize
with Mrs. Barrett because l hap
pen to live at Wrightsville Beach
where we have a lot of beautiful
Unnamed streets such as Shear
water and Sandpiper and the like,
but unless you happen to live OF
one of them, and therefore natur-
ally know your own address, it's
exceedingly difficult for anybody
TO find them.
For instant, I was in much dis
tress over a missing pair of pants
from the cleaners for a couple of
weeks. I finally got to'gh with
the cleaners because they hadn't
made a delivery. The cleaners &C.
,epted my toughness in stride, but
old me they just couldn't find my
street. Seems nobody ever had
aiken the trouble to erect any
street signs, which is all right
when you don't want a bill collect
,r to find you burt which is incon-
1enient when you're waiting on
/ pair of pants.
I trust that City Manager Ben
ION will come to the aid Of Mrs.
Barrett so she may be able to
TX officially her address. l sup
'ose I could keep on going without
ny pair Of trousers.

Maugansville Boy, Student Pilot In 1899,
Now Pan-American Overseas Pilot
Robert Mccoy Son OF MIR. and Mrs Stanley Mccoy Who
Learned To Fly At Local Flying School, Has Remarkable
Record For Such Few Years.

Back in June, 1889, young Rob-
bert Mccoy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley Mccoy, Maugansville, who
always was interested in aviation,
graduated from Hagerstown High
School. Bob Immediately got job
with Victor Products Corporation,
not with any idea of staying there,
but simply as means to an end.
Bob, long before he left school,
had decided that his life's work was
going to be in aviation and the job
at Victor Products provided logical
way to pay for his flying lessons
at the Henson Flying School. Be-
fore the year was up, young Mccoy
not only had received his pilots
license, but also job at the flying
school as an instructor in the Civil
Air Patrol training program. His
next step up came a few months
later, when he was assigned as one
of the instructors of the different
groups of Marines who were sent
to the school for aviation training.
Early in 1871 Mccoy secured a
position with the Pan-American Air
Lines in Miami, Fla, where he
speedily mastered the big four-mo-
tored ships of the airline's fleet. Aft
er six months training in Miami he
was transferred to the New York
Ocean Division of the airline, as a
co-pilot
By this time, the United States
was in World War II and Pan
Americans Overseas service came
under The jurisdiction of the U. S.
Navy. Mccoy was assigned as pilot

of a four-engined B3-14, carrying
important freight, mail and passen-
gers on route that covered half
the world.
Taking off from LaGuardia Field,
New York, the big ships first stop
would be Newfoundland. From there
they headed for Ireland and then
down the Atlantic Coast to Lisbon,
Portugal. Then came the run to
Africa, with stops at Dakar and
Liberia, The big B3-14 would then
cross the South Atlantic, landing at
Brazil. Then turning his ships nose
North, Bob and his crew headed
back to LaGuardia Field, with stops
at Trinidad, San Juan and Bermuda.
Since the end of the war he has
been kept busy, flying high priority
passengers and freight to London,
with headquarters at New York.
Accompanied by his wife, who
halls from Milton, Pa, Bob spent
brief Christmas vacation with his
parents in Maugansville and it was
during his visit that a Globe-Inde-
pendent reporter cleaned the above
mentioned facts from the 24-year-
old world traveller.
Asked about the future overseas
plans of Pan-American Airlines,
Mccoy said that present plans called
for the linking up of Pan-American's
East and West routes, thus making
possible a round-the-world passen-
ger and freight service. 1t is also ex-
pected that the B3-14 ships will be
replaced by the now famous "Con-
stellation," of much larger passenger
and freight capacity.
