WORK NOT LACKING FOR CREWS OF BIG SURVEY AIRPLANES Man Aboard Trans-Atlantic ‘Clippers’ Busy Each Minute With Many Duties Port Washington, Aug. 18—(#)}—It terested in knowing what 2 man does while he is flying the At- Jantic in one of those big survey air- planes, he works like a Trojan. The survey ships, cruising between onan at ane an hour, reach e “point of no return” on every flight. There they must roar on to their objectives. There is no turning back. Hundreds of details as to fuel con- craft has been gassed up. Sailing or- cers in hand, the crew of seven goes sboard, every man to his station. Course Is Plotted The motors skip the silvered hull along the water and into the air. The navigator already has submitted a course to the captain, plotted by painstaking studies of the weather over the ocean. Everyone is at work. Even the time required for the hull toclear the water must be measured. The ship climbs to & pre-determined altitude. En- gines, which have been at some 90 per iis Sates ae setae back to cr 5] flight engineer at ie aces ve cece ‘ les, 30 degrees,” the navigator advises the skipper, « altitude 9,000.” el eed An hour later he may amend that, “best altitude 4,000.” Engines are checked. The gasoline consumption at takeoff is figured. Compasses are compared, and a “sun sight” is taken just to make sure they tell the truth. The engineer reports to the captain on the amount of fuel aboard. The captain checks his Progress against the gasoline con- sumption. The navigator constantly checks the “ground” or actual speed by celes- tial observations. Reports Position Every half hour the radio operator ‘taps out a position report to land sta- tions. Every hour he tells them what the weather is, and the company meteorological office checks this against the forecast. Every: half hour the nearest land station takes a radio bearing on the ship. This is a course check to cross check the work on board the plane, oe is most ee if a cloud over- prevent navigator’s celestial sights. sa Meantime the ground personnel has appprised itself of the positions of ai! surface ships within 200 miles of the plane’s projected route and trans- mitted that to the skipper and navi- gator so the plane can obtain radio “fixes” from them. Spell One Another The skipper and his first officer spell each other at 30-minute inter- vals at the controlst—the robot pilot is never left in its own company—but neither leaves the bridge. That’s in the book of regulations, The flight engineer and his assist- ant spell each other too, and one of the manifold duties of these workmen is to regulate the pumping of fuel (ee sina pallte wing tanks. In be- ween y e up a log by repeated checks on 141 instruments. As the flight progresses, fuel is con- sumed and the load lightens. This alters the wing’s “angle of attack” and the motors must be regulated to get maximum efficiency—more miles per gallon. The ship’s clerk has the soft job. He can go to bed after he serves din- Rer and puts up sandwiches for con- during the night. The crew is always hungry.

CONSUMER SCHOOL CAMPAIGN ADVISED FOR RETAIL TRADE Criticism of Grocers Due to Lack of Understanding, Christianson Says By THEODORE CHRISTIANSON (Secretary-Manager, National Asso- ciation of Retail Grocers and For- mer Governor of Minnesota) One of the results of the rise in. fcod prices is an increasing consumer consciousness, which finds its ex- pression not only in a protest against the revised price tags, but in a more critical evaluation of quality. It would be asking too much to ex- pect all complaints to be, based upon an understanding of the facts in- volved. In the first place, custom- ers are not always intelligent—even though it has been said that they are “always right.” In the second Place, although intelligent, they may not have all the facts. In the third Place, they may not have thought enough about the facts they have to draw the right conclusions. The cus- tomer canot be expected to have given the same study to food problems as the merchant who makes buying and selling food his business. One of the responsibilities of the grocer is to educate his customers, at least to the extent of giving them an elementary knowledge of his spé- cialty. It is a chore that he may not like; it will take considerable effort; it will put him to the necessity of be- coming better informed himself. But it is necessary chore. If he doesn’t furnish the education, some one else will, and that “some one” will gen- erally be a person with an axe to |, & hobby to exploit, or a theory vindicate, Rising Food If the consumer insists on follow- ing the various “isms” that are abroad, it may be largely the grocer’s own fault—his failure to give the pub- lic the facts. The consumer, for instance, should know that although there has been #n increase in food prices, the average increase has been less than the ad- vance in the price of farm products. In view of that fact, neither the man- ufacturer, the wholesaler nor the re- tailer can be held responsible for the “high cost of living.” The consumer should know that payroll taxes and higher income and |property tax rates have increased the cost of doing business for the manu- facturer, the wholesaler and the ré- tailer, but that so far this new bur- den has not been genetally passed on to the consumer. The consumer should know that the food retailer does business on @ very narrow net margin—rarely more than 3 per cent and often 2 or lecs—gnd makes his profit from quick turn- over, not from a high margin. The consumer should know that the individually owned store’ is the most economical unit of retail food dise tribution. He should be informed that figures recently released by the cen- sus bureau show that the average cost of operation is lower in independent than in corporate chain stores. Consumer ives, The consumer should be made to understand that there is no economic need for consumers’ co-operatives, and therefore no prospect for their success, in an industry as efficient as the retail food industry in the United States. Th consumer should be convinced that the solicitude of responsible food manufacturers and distributors for maintaining a high reputation for their products is a better safe- guard against inferior quality than the imposition of artificisl standards by incompetent and inexperienced po- litical appointees. If the consumer is to get the facts ‘concerning the food industry, he must get them from the grocer and the grocer’s clerks. In order to give in- formation, the grocer and the grocer’s clerks must first obtain it. Education today is a greater need in the food industry than legislation. Former Boy-Husband Files Counter-Charge Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 18. Burton Tucker, 30, of Essex, wife, Mrs. Olive Simpson Tucker, 59, of New York, waited Wednesday for the next step in their troubles which have come before a court for s¢tion.
