CHICAGO'S NEW HANGAR was dedicated Friday during an inspection tour by members of the board of directors. Civic officials participated in brief ribbon cutting ceremonies at the 55th street entrance. The TWA hangar took nearly a year to complete. On the second floor are flight crew offices and administration offices. The hangar, valued a $3 million, contains 36,000 square feet of floor space, can house four Connies or six Martins. TWA will continue to lease space on 63rd street, the airport's south boundry, for use as an air freight hangar. VOL. 16, NO. 5 HANS WORLD AIRLINE! EMPLOYEE PUBLICAT1 JANUARY 29, 1953 Jordan To Head Production Unit At Overhaul Base Kansas City—The planning and schectuling section at the Overhaul base will be consolidated with the overhaul section to form a new production section with Al Jordan as manager. Jordan formerly was manager of the overhaul section. Bill Neff, former manager of planning and scheduling, becomes assistant manager of production. The change in organization is effective Feb. 1. It has been made to achieve maximum efficiency in the operation of the engineering and maintenance department, according to Ray Dunn, director. The following changes in assignment have been made to effect the new organizational setup. T. E. Burdette becomes superintendent of production control. D. E. Basore replaces Burdette as supervisor of project planning. Other changes at the Overhaul base are: K. J. Holdsworth to hangar general foreman. D. F. Kraus to assistant general foreman, line maintenance. Hugh Temple and C. D. Schneider to assistant general foreman, hangar. O. M. Olson, formerly assigned duties as assistant to manager of overhaul, will become general foreman of upholstery, paint and fleet service, replacing R. W. Lichten- berger, who becomes a foreman in sheet metal shop. W. H. Swartwood will continue to supervise the advanced hangar planning unit for the production section. JOKE OF THE WEEK The golf pro was frying to explain the fine points of the game to this sweet young thing. "It's basically simple," he said. "You just smack the pill, then walk." AFTER 9,200 MILES, a wedding. The bride and groom, center, Dorothy Loner- gan and John B. Jouvenat, TWA sales rep in Dhahran, finally got together in Frankfurt for their wedding. On the left is Ethel Rindfuss and right Ken Farley, both of TWA's Frankfurt sales office, bridesmaid and best man. Love Laughs at Barrier > To Wedding Ceremony Frankfurt—Because of the lack of Christian religious ceremonies in Saudi Arabia, a TWAer and his fiancee had to get married in Frankfurt recently. Only thing, the bridegroom, Jack Jouvenat, sales rep, was in Los Angeles when the couple decided to take the final step. Sounds involved? Well, it is. The bride is United States WAF Captain Dorothy Eileen Lonergan, based in Saudi Arabia. Jouvenat is ______________________________________ "Oh," she giggled, dates I've been on." 'just like some a former air force lieutenant and now a senior sales rep in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. But, the pair said, they could not get married in Saudi Arabia because no Christian religious ceremonies are held in that country. Jouvenat just happened to be in Los Angeles on a stateside vacation when the couple had a brilliant idea: Why not have Dorothy fly outside Saudi Arabia to meet Jack for the wedding? So they decided to meet in Frankfurt for the ceremony. Dorothy flew some 2,800 miles from Saudi Arabia to Frankfurt— Jouvenat traveled the 6,400 miles from Los Angeles to Frankfurt— and the couple arrived at Rhein Main airport within two hours of each other. The two were married in a ceremony held in the historical Frankfurt city hall. Witnesses were Ethel Rindfuss and Kenneth Farley of the local TWA sales office. HOLIDAY FEBRUARY 23 Sunday, February 22, George Washington's birthday, is a recognized legal holiday for all TWA employees based within the continental limits of the United States. Because that date falls on a Sunday, the following day, Monday, February 23, will be observed as the holiday. Top Management Answers Queries Al Panel Night KANSAS City—Officers and department heads of TWA were bombarded with questions on all phases of the company's operations January 19 as the Kansas City Management club conducted its top management question-and-answer panel. Taking the brunt of the more than a score of questions asked by club members was TWA President R. S. Damon. Others on the panel were John A. Collings, executive vice- _ Agents at Freight Clinic Probing New Sales Trend president, D. W. Harris, industrial relations vice-president, Gordon Gilmore, public relations vice-president, Thomas K. Taylor, vice-pres 'ideiit, George Clay, corporate secretary, J. L. Weller, vice-president and (Continued on Page-2) Time Marches On, But Dazed Non-Rev Doesn't By Audre Vourlis San Francisco — It seemed more like a beautiful California morning rather than a blustery Kansas City wintry day when Tommy Lipps, reservations agent, stepped off the TWA Connie last week. As a matter of fact, Tommy was in California, just a hop-skip-and- jump from where she had started— and not at all in Kansas City, her destination. For a moment she might have thought that was the Golden Gate bridge spanning the Kaw river. Here's what happened. Tommy hopped on Flight 10 in San Francisco and popped a sleeping pill in her mouth to help pass the time en route to Kansas City. But the flight barely got started when it had to return to Oakland account mechanical. All onboard deplaned—except Tommy. She snoozed on peacefully despite efforts of her traveling companion, Res Agent Barbara Bassett, to rouse her. So Tommy was left sleeping in the plane and all departed. Next morning out steps Miss Lipps, wondering what the score was. "At least the ground service crew was kind enough to dust me off with the rest of the equipment," she commented. Shortly thereafter the plane was ready to go and all passengers climbed aboard again. Tommy enjoyed a beautiful daylight flight to Kansas City. New York —TWA's four-day air freight clinic here is being attended by 25 TWA agents from the states and abroad. The clinic, which opened Tuesday, is giving considerable attention to the development of selling patterns for air freight as applied to specific industries. Participants are reviewing what has been done in the field and the potentialities for further development in the various countries served by TWA. It is the first time in many years that the line has held a conference devoted exclusively to the subject of air freight. As in the case with most airlines, air freight constitutes but a small percentage of the total volume, but it is continually growing. TWA reported a rise of about 10% in revenue from domestic air freight operations in 1952 and an increase of about 18% overseas. The 1953 goal is a jump of 15%. Revenue ton miles for air freight in the domestic service was nearly 16 million last year, up 5%. In international service the total was a shade over 7 million, an 8% gain. First Colombo Flight To Leave NY Tuesday New York—TWA's first scheduled flight extending the route from Bombay to Colombo will leave New York Tuesday. Ceremonies here, at Bombay and Colombo will celebrate the inaugural. The CAA certificate into Co- lumbo permits daylight operations only for the time being, resulting in a schedule change. Flight 904 will now depart Bombay on Thursdays at 11:10 a.m., arriving at 3:10 p.m. The return flight, No. 905,~ will depart Fridays at 4:30 p.m.
