SKYWAY STEWARDESSES
The air hostess sat erect in her chair
at ease but norloonging, both feet
primly on the 'floor. Her uniform was
as spotless and unwrinkled as that af
the newest West Point fledgling. Her
'Overland" cap was tilted just enough
to be a la mode. She 'looked a trifle
standardized, as indeed she is, one of
2215 in the United States, none of them
less than 211 or more than 25 3...ears old
at the start, none of them more than
five ;feet three and one half inches in
height not ton tall, not too short, not
too blonde, not too 'brunette, not too
plain ,not too pretty„diseiplirted, pois-
ed., eager, alert and yet serene. That's
the model for them all, some of it ac-
tually written down in books, and
some of it ljust pretty well understood
by those who sign the contracts.
This particular air hostess was, as
has been said, !pretty much like all the
others, but there was nothing stand-
ardized about the impish little grin
puckering the corners of her mouth as
she hesitated before answering my
''What beside the romantic lure of
the profession made me became one
of MO applicants for the 285 jobs
available Inc women. stewardesses on

"Well." she said, "I will tell you. I

neweq occupation for women in the
whole world. I- keep a scrapbook, I
I want to tell my .great-grandaildren
what a pioneer 1 was. That's the
whole story."
The first stenographer might have
said it. The first woman to travel
alone around the world and write e
book about it expressed something of
the itt i dea. The ',woman who walk-
ed beside covered wagons over prai-
ries and mountains wbere airplanes
now fly ,nnist have felt k. Pioneering
is a great adventure and pioneering in
the air is one of the greatest of alt ad-
ventures.
The record of women in the air is
something of which to be proud, not
only the record of women pilots, but
question. the record of the anonymous little
et. and clown the ...thins, proffer Pil-
lo-ws and newspapers, take the tickets,

through a pathless forest to get help

But she is one of .3,05 who, usually
unsung, do their jobs day in and day
out in a manner Which has pretty well
aired their places. against passible
inale contenders. •
What is the training for these girls?
TWA had a class not long ago, a
month's course in Kansas City, as: the
result of which a number of hostesses
were placed on planes and a long re-
serve list -made up. The reserve list,
it may be noted, is needed particularly
.herause marrying -airplane pilots, and
once a hostess marries she is retired
t0 titivate life at once; as far. as her
company is concerned, No question
about the status.of married Women on
jobs: there just isn't any at all. -
United A.ir Lines, the 'first company
to put women on the planes and keep
them there, has .formal ,school, bot
squads of .five are put through a
course of training, two weeks in class
ses learning ho* to 'handle passeng-
ers, hoW"to .ritake the traveling public
etnilfortable, how to take trp tickets

in the cabins, the serving of lunches
and how to juggle tomato juice, fried
chicken, shoe string potaties, salad,
ice cream, cake and a hot driuk, alt
without spilling a :drop down the necks
of those they are serving. fillien there
are lessons vin the route flown, con-
necting air Inc. and railway sched-
ules, and some instruction in •the in-
struments used in flying the plane, so
that the stewardess will be familiar
enough with their 'names and uses to
be able to answer questions.
'One requisite for the hostesss is of
•especial interest. They all must be

that training they will have learned

That lloStesSes (1.5 their job well
is proven by several factors, among
them the financial measuring rod,
'United Air Lines estimated that last
year stewardesses brought in 5500,0100
in business. 'Passengers, it seems have
a way of 'writing in to the company
foul stating that they have 'beet: .so
courteously served that they have per-
suade.I their wives, or their mothers,
or their sisters, to travel on the plane.
There is still a little of the "if it is
safe for a woman it is safe for any-
bo.ly" kind of feeling, and the stewar-
des,es, who are concerned in building
airtnifuledness in the public, accept
this as part of their job and like it.
Already the hostesses have begun to
edge their way up. Rosalie (iitithle

Poignant reminder of those spac-
ious days of glory .and of grieving,
poppy day once more recurs to
prompt the citizens of this country in
the duties they have inherited from
the past generation. To Canadian
youth this year of grace, the deep -red
petals of the poppy may not carry the
same significance they bore to the
youth of twenty years ago. The sym-
bolism of sacrifice with which the
poppy huis. become charged is some-
thing to which the present genera-
tioe succeeds only through the wist-
ful smelteries of the aging men who
fought their country's battles, who
suffered privations, endured long ag-
arks and finally triunmhed amid FAIT -
rounding: carpeted pith poppies.
To is ear this humble emblem on
poppy day is CD proclaim that amid
all the jangling., confusion through
which this country is striving valiant-
ly to .penetrate, the heart axtd mnd
are nevertheless attuned to a sense of
homage due to these men whose peace
inspired 600,000 Canadians to offer
themselves far service between 1014
and 19118; <4 which number more than
.60.000 found graves in France and
Belgium, It is over these graves that
the palmy blows in perennial bloom.
