Land, President of the Air Transport. As- sociation, with a plaque, honoring the domestic scheduled airlines for completion, in early February, of 12 months of operation without a passenger fatality. This record may | surprise many readers who have seen many headlines a-| bout tragic air crashes in recent months. However, these crashes involved military aircraft and | unscheduled airlines. The scheduled airlines’ year record ended February 11th, at which time they had carried over 25,000,000 passengers without a fatality. A total of 13,- 150,000,000 revenue passenger miles were flown by the airlines in this period. 4 During the year, an average of one landing’ or take- off every seven seconds, or about 13,000 a day, was mai tained. Interestingly, the fatality-free period ended Satur- day, February the 14th, with the crash of a plane in the Gulf of Mexico. Had this crash come several days sooner, the airlines would not have completed/a year of fatality. free operation. Nevertheless, the record of the scheduled ajrlines is an encouraging one, indicating that. progress is being made in the air safety field. While we point out the num- ber of air crashes, if is only fair to point out the record of the scheduled airlines when justified. | | The new economic prospect is prosperity for at least | iour years, Going to church adds something to living which dis- inguishes it from surviving.

Penoso es decirlo, pero la realidad descon- | certante de los hechos, exige que | se levante una voz, aunque esta |sea tan humilde como la nuestra | para clamar por un poco de pro- teccién para nuestros hogares, en esas horas de ansiedad que traen |aparejadas las enfermedades que repentinamente se presentan y si no se atienden con rapidéz, en al- gunos casos, se convierten en mor- tales. > Nos referimos hoy a las farma- eias de ta, ciudad, que cierran sus puertas a prima noche y quien ne- cesita urgentemente de una medi- ‘cina salvadora para un familiar enfermo, pese a tener la receta del facultivo, tiene necésariamente, que aguardar hasta el dia siguien- te, con el naturdlfiesgo para el paciente, . -** Estimamos que no tener farma- cias abiertas despues de las diez de la noche, constituye algo asi como. una enorme despreocupacién que va contra la propia vida y salud de los habitantes de la Ciu- dad. ‘ Podrian ponerse de acuerdo los| duefios de esos establecimientos para llegar ala conclusion de que cada wna farmacia esté de guar- dia, y que, sin necesidad de estar abierta al publico, tenga en su in- terior un. farmacéutico, que ponda a la llamada de un ciuda- |} dano que en altas horas de la no- che, requiera una formula, que salve a un enfermo de su familia. Asi es como se hace en casi to- das las ciudades del mundo. Es increible y de ello no culpamos a los buenos amigos que aqui po- seen farmacias, que despues de determinada hora de la noche, no tenga nadie en la ciudad manera dicina No seria de gran sacrificio para esos establecimientos el emplear el sistema de la botica de turno.
