Then and Now - Fifty years ago KATHERINE STIN­ SON donated her flying skill to raise $100,000 for the American Red Cross. On a publicity mission from Buffalo, via Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, New York & Philadelphia to Washington, D. C. she raised this amazing sum of money. KATHERINE STINSON was among the “Women With Wings” to be honored by the Ninety-Nines at their Calander Party on February 15 at a cocktail buffet at the American Women’s Press Club in Washington. The Western New York Chapter of Ninety-Nines was anxious to duplicate her historic journey — even without the $100,000. MRS. HOWARD LAVERACK and MISS JANET HUGHES were at the airport in Buffalo to place in our care a Red Cross poster to be delivered to Washington. So far we were on schedule and full of the old aviation spirit. Undaunted by the snowy perspective from the window, we left the Red Cross dele­ gates and the photographers behind, and headed for Flight Service. Can you guess what the “prophets of doom” had to say to this jolly foursome when we proposed our flight plan? History was not to be repeated! By the grace of , who had a corner on friendly skies that day, three of our delegation, NAOMI MEEKER, TERRI PIRRUNG and ETHEL FEDDERS, did manage to de­ liver the Red Cross poster from Buf­ falo to Washington.

I had the occasion to visit with the dean of air markers, PAULINE GLAS- SON, and she has given me food for thought that I wish to pass on to all of you. What is the purpose of air marking? My answer is the obvious one, “to help pilots that are temporarily mis­ placed or in trouble’’. How can this purpose be best accomplished? PAUL­ INE believes and I certainly agree that a lost pilot is not really in trouble if he has an airport under him whether it has an air marker or not. We as­ sume that every pilot will have a sec­ tional chart in the plane, so by mark­ ing towns and landmarks without land­ ing facilities, we provide him with the Committee members busying themselves with preparations for the forthcom­ ability to find the nearest airport. ing International Convention at the Statler Hilton in Los Angeles and the 1968 I certainly do not wish to suggest POWDER PUFF DERBY START from Van Nuys, California are: Standing that the markers that have been done left to right: SHIRLEY THOM, AULEEN HALL, LOLA RICCI, LORELI CAN- are useless because, in high density GIANO, MARGARET WARD, RUTH MAYLE, LIBBY SVENSON, Chapter areas, the great number of airports Chairman.
