make two reservations on an airplane
because he can't At In one seat.
It happens. "Once in a while" an
airline operations agent says, I'VE

For that matter, If you worry about
weight, consider the airline operations
agent himself.
He has to worry about 100000

Those silver-winged bodies you see

They're heavy babies. II any one Of

Weight Problem

Of those panels that suggest the user
can reach a dozen people instantly
with just o flick Of the switch. The
desk Is Uttered with paper and books.
MY big worry Is cargo Mr..
Payne says.
With just this much briefng, you
can easily see his point:
Each particular type Of plane has
a fixed .take-off" weight-that,s the
maximum number Of pounds the
plane can weigh and still be allowed
TO leave the ground. Then, in addi-
ton. each has an equally fixed land
ing" weight. The take-of maximum
Is always q larger figure.
One particular four-engine design,
for example, weighs $3.50 pounds
empty. It's take-oR maximum Is 107.-
600 pounds, BUT its landing maximum
Is $500 pounds. II the plane weighs
more than $500 pounds when it takes
on, the excess must be fuel that viii
be consumed before the plane gets to
it's destination. You get the amount
Of DRY cargo plane can carry. in
other words, by subtracting its empty
weight from its landing maximum.
lAGaximums, o CAA Ofilcial ex-
plains, are determined largely by
how q plane performs with one
engine gone, and plane weights are
checked once q year,

Mr.. Ritter: There very wen

we have now set for ourselves a

The big new push, of course, is
in the field of polio prevention.
This has been the primary aim of
March of Dimes research for IL
years. And, today. because you have
supported the work of these bril-
liant men, there are 100000 Ameri-
can school children who carry with
in their little bodies what may be-
come the answer to the long-sOught
lduestion of how to prevent Grip
lpling pOlio-the new polio vaccine.
Millions of dollars we're spent in
years of research before this vac
cine was ready for testing. But this
was just the beginning. The his
tOric vaccine trials, which began
in 1854 and involved 100000 chill

Now turn a little. High to the
West is the constellation of Her
