Upon checking in, we discovered that the rate was $5 for me, but $6 each for my wife and daughter. "We figured we had been 'had,' but paid it because it was late at night. However, the next night we stayed at an equal, if not better, motel for only $7 total."

Guide books, word-of-mouth and personal experience warn of the pitfalls.

When the Alaskan earthquake toppled the control tower at Anchorage, an emergency tower was set up in an airliner at the airport. An energizer was hooked up to the plane's radio and in this way emergency airlift operations were carried out.

Eyewitness to the Alaskan earthquake was a retired TWAer, Luella Rcisner, now living in Anchorage. Luella worked in the Chicago food unit for 16 years. She described the quake as "terrible" but reported that she WHEN TWA RECEIVES DELIVERY of its first Boeing 727 this month, maintenance teams will be well prepared to and her family survived luckily. give the plane tender loving care.

Tillinghast Cites Kansas City Role KANSAS CITY—A whole new era of hand-in-hand opportunity and progress for TWA and Kansas City has been envisioned by President Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr. Speaking before civic and business leaders at a luncheon here April 22, Mr. Til­ linghast cited the role of Kansas City in "the growth and nourish­ ment of TWA. "Here the fledgling airline was given a climate for growth," he said, "and it spread its wings to become what I believe is the world's greatest airline." Mr. Tillinghast outlined TWA's plans for the future, "in my capac­ ity as spokesman for one of your major corporate citizens—conscious MELVA BRAUN snuggles up confidently at the side of a work elephant in of the responsibilities of hometown Ceylon, a stopping-off place on her month's vacation in Asia.
