Air Age Brings Humor With It
... . . . .... . .i.. ..Ml- I ill a. PaHarian. It la ihair
Br ROBERT J. SERLING
UPI Aviation Editor
Waslilnglon - (UPD - The air
age has brought humor along
with its headaches.
Take, lor example, the sto
ry of Aviatrix Jerrie Cobb,
first woman to pass the same
physical tests given to astro
nauts. The Naval Medlcai
school at Pensacola, Fla.,
wanted to put Jerrie through
a series o additional special
tests. It sent this message:
"Request authority for ci
vilian Miss Jerrie Cobb to fly
in Naval aircraft for the pur
pose of baseline studies to
determine fundamental dif
ferences between male and
female astronauts."
Came this reply from the
Chief of Naval Operations:
"If you don't know the dif
ference already, we refuse to
put money into the project."
The airlines in any yr
are always good for a col
lection of anecdotes. Charles
Ruby, president of the Air
line Pilots association, likes
to tell this one on himself:
In his early days as an air-
Una captain, he arrived at
operation for a flight from
Miami to New York and in
quired of the dispatcher
who his copilot was.
"A new man named
Smith," the dispatcher seid.
"Is Smith around?" Ruby
demanded in a loud voice.
"I'm Smith," came the re
ply from a young man wear
ing a blue uniform.
"Well, let's get the show
en the road, son," said
Ruby.
They .boarded the plane
and took off. For the re
mainder of the trip. Ruby
was sharply critical of his
copilot's performance. He
handled the plane poorly,
he botched up the check
list, and in general proved
to be the worst and most
nervous copilot Ruby had
aver seen. After landing in
New York, the captain look
ed at his youthful colleague
and shook his head.
"Son. whan we get back
to Miami I'm going to rec
ommend they put you back
in flight school. How the
hell did you ever get to be
an airline pilot?"
I'm net." was the reply.
"I'm ramp agent Joe Smith
and I've never been In a
plana before. They told ma
always to obey a captain.
When you told me to climb
aboard. I did."
Even harried air traffic
controllers have their chuck
les. At one Western airport
recently the tower was
swamped by arriving and de
parting planes and commu
nications lines were crackling.
For Just a few seconds,
there was silence. The chief
controller flicked on his mi
crophone to all frequencies
and said calmly:
"Okay everybody. Dis
mount, regroup and prepare
to fight on foot!"
The Cleveland newspa
per strike brought laugha
to the crew of one North
west Orient airlines plane.
For years. Northwest pi
lots have referred to the
Cleveland control tower as
"Patterson tower" - after

W. A. Patterson. It is their
firm, if perhaps erroneous,
belief that the tower gives
landing preferences to Unit
ed flights.
During the strike. North
west had been flying in
copies of newspapers from
other cities. One night, a
Northwest plene asked for
landing clearance.
"You got any newspapers
en board?" asked the tower.
"A f f i r mative," replied
Northwest.
"Okay. Northwes t."
snapped the controller.
"You are cleared number
one to land."
The most widely-publicized
among pilots cabin public ad
dress announcement of recent
times came from an Eastern
captain who for months had
been complaining about At
lanta's airport. The field has
a new $20 million terminal
building but also lacks dual
runways - which causes fre
quent traffic delays.
Eastern's man was coming
into Atlanta on a clear night
and was advised that due to
runway congestion, no ap
proach or landing clearance
could be expected for an
hour. The captain flicked on
the cabin P.A.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he
Intoned, "air traffic control
advises we will be unable to
land for at leapt an hour be
cause of runway congestion.
I know all you folks aboard
who are from Atlanta are
mighty proud of your new
terminal building. It's the
most beautiful I've ever seen.
But unfortunately I can't land
this monster in the lobby."
Steward esses are the
source of many airline sto
ries. There was one girl
who had been flying for
five straight days, got back
to her apartment and was
just about to crawl wearily
into i bed when operations
telephoned.
"We need a girl for a
night coach flight and
you're on reserve," opera
tions said.
She put on her uniform
again, went back to tha
airport and was complain
ing to the captain about
her unhappy late.
"Look, it's light load
with no meal service." he
told hex. "The last row of
aoati in the rear haa a re
movable arm rest. Block it
off and after you get every
one settled down, just lake
out the arm rest, curl up
and take a nap."
The stewardess thought
that was a fine idea. She
put two "occupied" signs
on the last two seats, even
tually went back for her
nap, and found a woman
passenger had moved into
one of the two seals.
"Mam'm. would you
mind moving up to the seat
ahead of you?" the stew
ardess aike-i politely.
Why?" .he woman de
manded. "These seats are reserv
ed." the girl replied.
"For whom?" said the
woman.
"Frankly, they're for
me," said the stewardess.
Young woman, pro
claimed the passenger. "You
are nothing but my servant.
You are on this aircraft
just to serve me. I repeal,
you are just my servant!"
"Okay," said the stew
ardess. "Then would you
mind getting the hell out
of the servants' quarters
and letting me go to sleep?"

Dr. Wilson Speaks About

in Medford.

Principle of New Bill Is Favored By ColC Group
The new ordinance regulat
ing signs along the freeway
through Medford, adopted by
the city council Thursday
night, was approved in prin
ciple only by the govern
mental operations commit
tee of the Medford Chamber
of Commerce at the second
meeting devoted to the sub
ject by the committee mem
bers. A motion, passed by unan
imous vote, asked that some
changes and modifications be
made in the ordinance, and
that a further study of the
whole matter be made in
cluding an analysis of the
sign industries' proposals.
The committee concluded
that "a serious attempt should
be made to bring both views
into compatability."
The "important elements
basically affected by the ord
inance were listed as: the sign
companies, the businesses de
pending on sign advertising,
and the traveling public util
izing the freeway."
Al Bradford, president of
the city council and chairman
of the mayor's committee on
sign legislation, explained the
ordinance and described it as
less restrictive than the reg
ulations made by the state.
He said there were still some
areas of the ordinance that
might be modified but that
his committee had brought in
a "fair ordinance."
Sign company representa
tives appearing before the
committee described the ord
inance as "restrictive, arbi
trary and discriminatory."
They asked for further study
and modification.
Robert D. Heffernan. chair
man of the governmental op
erations committee, asked for
a motion which he could p:iss
on to the chamber of com
merce expressing the commit
tee's views. The motion was
then passed supporting the
principle of the proposed ord
inance as outlined by the
mayor's committee and ask
ing for some changes and
modifications.
