Bagdikian warned us might be susceptible to certain personal prejudices against the air plane As a mechanism and As an institution. Until about a year and a half ago he had been successively writer on aviation subjects an air Force navigator an editor of the air Force s navigator s monthly log and editor in chief of one of the larger stateside aviation this time he was beginning to suffer a slight feeling of air sickness whenever he looked out the window of the publication s sixth floor offices and found himself automatically grabbing for parachutes in elevators. Once the publisher with him the subject of streamlining the name of the Maga Zine and Bagdikian in a moment of careless nausea recommended changing it to along wit this suggestion he submitted his resignation deciding that it was time to get Back on solid then he has rooted himself firmly at a desk in the sunday department of the Providence Rhode Island join real. In his occasional travels afield on stories for stateside magazines he goes by train carefully avoiding upper berths. Around the Bagdikian household any reference to air planes i considered profanity and two and a half year old Christopher has been trained to refer to any objection motion above roof level As for our own part we found or. Bagdikian or analysis of the Light plane s future backed by the gloomy statistics of the Industry itself a reasonably objective Job and we feel it May now be Safe to put Junior Wise to the facts of airborne life.

Words of Comfort. Zimmer was no treasuring. He is a Man of Many troubles not the least of which is his categorical worry when miss Lenort. Is aloft. Back in 1939, he recalls earnestly there was Camilla Mayer. Young and pretty like miss Lenort who was Star of the show. Only one Day the top Ofa steel Pylon used As a mooring snapped Oft.

On the following Day a replacement called Ruth Hemphill adopted the name Camilla Mayer ii was a great performer Zimmer notes nostalgically but during the trip to prance last fall she married a Lown a russian Emi Grant and on the Cote d Azu Zimmer also lost his equipment in France butty hard work Between last fall and the opening a few weeks ago High wire spectacle Page 9 on Borro wed capital Zimmer was Able to replace it. From his training school in Breslau he produced the Misse Lenort and Helga Bock the new Camilla Mayer. Gisela had taken a bad fall dining an Early Winter practice session breaking a few Bones but still was eager to join the company on the Road. It seems Gisela is a quiet girl addicted much to Zimmer s mystification to Reading Shakespeare and greek mythology in the evenings. She is also the kind who can be counted to Wield a paint Brush or wrench when an extra hand is needed on the lot.

For As Zim Nei says who knows we might catch the act i Central Park yet. Gisela Lenoit How High can you get letters to big Money. Little Talent sir. The wage scale set up for thee com civilian shows As described in your Story German Talent interested me considerably. J was March 20 impressed by the High salaries paid for those Boring and frightfully corny acro Batic and juggling acts. A Little slap stick occasionally is fun but a steady diet is Only Good act i be seen during my ten months in the dec is that performance put on by the magician car Viny who is paid a paltry fifteen Dol Lars. I really that those awful acrobats Are paid As eighty five dollars for jumping up and Down and pushing each other around. Usually floor shows in the dec Are so terrible that the patrons would not even have one. I for one. Get tired of being deluded by poster enthusiastically a claiming the newest attraction at the Casino and then find ing that i have walked into a trap. I realize that i should Stop patronizing these establishments if i Don t like what they offer. But Here we have no alter native but to sit at Home in a Crum my Little Billet night after or go to the movies surely there must be some fairly respectable Talent available for our shows but where is it. Hiding out Dorothy Weil Frankfurt. Knows Plain people sir. In Pennsylvania near my Home there is a Large Community of what we Call Plain people a religious Sec similar to the mennonites in your Story automobiles Are March 20 they Are revered by the More worldly people of the neighbourhood because of their insistence in cleanliness and the High standards of their people bring their farm pro Duce into town twice a week to the big Farmers Market we have. Every potato every stalk of celery and every string bean is spotlessly clean. And when you " buy a Chicken or Turkey it s so. Well cleaned that even All the pin feathers have been removed an oddity in a so called super Market i assure you. We like our Plain people and would t have them change for any thing. They seem a Little More tolerant than the Amish you used in your Story but they Are set in their ways an resist drastic changes As much As the europeans.
