lITHEN Colonel Char'es A. Lind- " bergh made the statement that "We have much to do to make the pilot's job easier,” ho was referring to the lack of such essential aids to aviation as weather reporting services, uniform legislation, landing fields and roof markings. Among these requirements, the last-named — the identification of towns and I cities by root markings—represents I one which calls for no official ac- I tion, no particular expense and no ; particular effort, but merely the in- i terest of some individual or organi- i xation in the community. Just as automobile traffic would ; be almost impossible without sign posts, so a system of air transportation is seriously handicapped without roof markings. Accordingly, with the endorsement of (he Postmaster General, the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Pronotion of Aeronautics wrote to the postmasters of all the towns and cities of average size, asking them to take the initiative In seeing that their communities were properly identified by roof-markings and giving them printed instructions as to how it should be done. A printed bulletin, sent to each postmaster, gives € letailed Instructions as to ihs tjpe of roof mod suitable for markings of this kind, the size of I

the letters, and the color that should be used. Through some public-spir-ited citizen or organization, the postmaster sees that the work is carried out, and upon notification of its completion Colonel Lindbergh has agreed to send a certificate of appreciation. The campaign covered some 7,500 communities, representing those of between 1,000 and 50,000 population. Out of this total, to date about 2,000 have already been Identified by roof markings, about 3,000 report that the work is under way and about 2,500 remain unaccounted for. “As the use of the airplane has been extended, as it becomes a vehicle of transportation not only for commercial enterprise, but for the private individual, town identification increases in importance," states Harry F. C.ugg nIK-im, president of the Fund. "The Fund has received the enthusiastic co-opera-I tion of the nation's inde rii-s, par-

ticularly the railroads, the oil companies and the automobile manufacturers and also of the civic and social clubs such as the American Legion, the Rotary, the Kiwanis, the Lions and the Exchange. The technical development of the airplane today has reached a high stage of perfection, and its usefulness must not be held back by the lack of ordinary navigation facilities such as roof-markings, airports and air-ways.” The United States ranks above every other nation in every phase of aviation except that of passenger carrying. Since roof-marking is an absolutely essential item in the safety of air transport, adequate town identification is expected to be a considerable stimulus to the passenger services. The citizen or organization interested In this movement is advised to consult the postmaster of his town, who is equipped with complete l:i t r.ctions I for carrying out the v.
