Jones revealed the results of a survey which his committee had conducted some time ago to determine why air travel was "falling off" locally.

Portland was listed as the most frequent destination to the north, and San Francis co drew most of the travelers to the south. Most respond ents expressed a desire for scheduling of early morning flights both incoming and outgoing to the north and south. Frequency Noted Seven ty-lhroe businessmen indicated they were using commercial air travel more than they did two years ago, but 101 said they were not flying any more often. Thirty- four said they were flying less now than they did two years ago, while 63 indicated they were not flying less frequently. In the space provided on the questionaires for com ments, Jones reported, there was "some feeling expressed of being provided wtih sec ond class service while being charged a first class price." Subsequently, the commit tee held meetings with repre sentatives of the three com mercial airlines serving Med- ford, Jones said, and the re sults of the survey were discussed. The committee chairman said on the basis of the talks, West Coast, United and Pa cific airlines have "improved their schedules," agreed to give the committee notice prior to any future schedule adjustments and have insti tuted family plan fares seven days a week. Jones said his committee "feels it has a lot still to do." He said the group wants to take steps to "dress up" the airport, to improve the tie down facilities, and to put up signs welcoming in-coming travelers. Further, he said, the committee intends to in vestigate city-tenant relations at the airport, fire protection facilities and future needs for runway length and clear area. District Sales Manager L W. Rostad noted that this is the fifth year that turbo-jets have operated in the United States and that the craft now carry three-fourths of the entire movement of air tra velers. He recalled that West Coast had brought the first jet to Medford in September, 1958. Rostad said that 1962 was the third lowest year In his tory in terms of fatality rates in air travel, with only one death for every 100 million air miles flown. Air travel fares, Rostad said, are the consumer's "best buy." "As other prices rise, he said, "air travel fares go down." I He noted in particular that , rates. . That boardings have the United States airlines have the lowest rates in any coun try in the world. He pointed out, too, that the ten per cent federal transportation tax, in stituted during World War II to discourage civilian sir tra vel, was reduced to five per cent in 1962. Rostad said that the 13 lo cal service airlines in the country made a profit last, year, proving the point that "local air service is needed." I The federal subsidy on local ! carriers has been ' reduced j from one-half ten years ago 1 to one-third today. "We hope to be able to end the subsidization entirely in about another 10 years," he said. Economical Rates Rostad said that surveys have revealed that 65 per cent of the American people' don't fly. Current thinking is that if more economical rates were introduced, additional people might be Induced to travel by air, he said. He pointed out that West Coast has reduced its fare to San Francisco by $12 and has cut the fare to Portland from $38 to $29. He said his firm is now "sales minded," and will op erate on the premise that vol ume sales will offset income lost through the "' reduced almost doubled" at the Med ford airport in the last month, bear out his theory, Rostad said. He said he expects his firm's plans to merge with Pacific to be successful with in a year or so. Negotiations are currently under way be tween the two airlines, ttttle firm's Complete Visual Csre Contact Lenses OR. DUKE G.
