Charles North of North's Ira
vel Agency made another first
last week when he was elected to
membership into the Air Travel
Conference of America (ATA))
when that group held their annual
meeting on Miami Beach. This
organization includes all sched-
uled airlines in the United States.
He was sponsored by Eastern Air
lines. In April, 1852, under the
sponsorship of Pan American Air
lines, he was elected TO member
ship in the international Air
Transport Association (IATA) &.
Both groups have a limited mem
bership of select Travel Agencies
and unanimous vote is required
for election. According TO infor-
nation culled from recent radio
talk by North on flourish and
the Negro, Negroes have been
doing more travelling during the
past fifteen years, since the eco
homie standard OF the group has
been raised. The American Ne
groes now have better jobs and
positions in both private business
and with the government. Fore
cast made by Travel Agent, a
trade publication, says that up
wards OF $4,000 Negroes will
take a trip somewhere in 1856
and spend some $500 millions OF
dollars. Scheduled airlines hope 10
channel a good part Of the travel
dollar linked with Independent
and tour agencies. Trips of all
types when planned and routed by
a travel agency saves you both
time and money.
