Rotarians Hear Express Official Ernpst B. Reeder. Public Relations representative for the Railway Express Agency, was the guest speak- ^ er for the regular luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club Wednesday. ' li his subject, "A.r Express Now and Tomorrow". Mi Reeder, briefly out lined the several services now being preformed by the Express Agency as a direct result of the war. namely, the handling of human blood frorr. the receiving centers to the processing laboratories, thence to the ports of embarkation for distribution to the battle fronts; the shipment of 11 1-2 million old tires in the salvage of serap rubber; the movement of rationing tokens and the four million i pounds of rationing books. He told interesting stories pertaining to the oiigin of air express in | this country and the period of experi- | mentation between the’ years of 1910 and 1927 in the progress of air ex- j press. He pointed out that Railway Express has acted as a land organ- | ization for the eighteen domestic airlines for the past 16 years, doing every tiling for the airlines except j fly the planes The Agency also acts as Agent for the International Air ' Express services. His audience was interested in the story of the expansion of air traffie, in which Reeder stated that over 90 millions of pounds had been, shipped Air Express Inst year: and that, although air traffic was nirw being handled with some prority regulation, much traffic was being handled with out a priority classification. He urged all those engaged in vital war production, both as shippers and consignees, , to obtain priorities for air traffic. Reeder covered fiv- important subjects pertaining to air tran.spmrtation find post war planning in that field He statixi there would be a vast army of young people returning from the army and navy air corps, which would be available for the operation of aviation affairs. Reeder pointed out that in respect to the types of planes to be used in the post war | period, that the terms, flying box car. flying trucks and flying trains, together with the operations of the on’ Martin Mars and the one TWA Constellation were all stimulating to the imaginations of those who attempt to predict the future in air transportation. On the subject of airports, Reeder, pointed out the helpful advice and assistance now obtainable from the Civil Areor.autics Board and described the operations of the All American Aviation Company now serving
:orr.e cf the ccmmunities m Penncylvan a and VirgWliT He stated that air express ratehave been reduced as much as 12 1-2 ", in the past ten months and that as no on- now knows just what traffic or how much might be shipped y air in tile post war period: likewise no one could predict the rates covering that traffh at this time. He suggested that n tsilcr- and dis tributors would be able, through thuse of air express, be able to reduce ic amount of their inventories. Reeder stated that many eustomrs had arked pertaining to the jture status of the Railway Express n relation to the airlines: ard would the Agency continue to offer to the shippers its present closely coordinated rail and airservices. This lie stated, could he answered, only by those in authority, namely, the Civil Aeronautics Board and Congress. It is thought, However, that the customer interested, demand and confidence in the Express Agency's operations, developed through a centurv of service to the Nation would ccrtainly have some bearing in planting the future in the Air Age. Reeder, closed his address with nrophetc quotatio: s from Tennyson'Ijocksley Hall, in which the pout, caught a glimsc of the effect air transportation would have on commerce, the force in air war fare and cultural progress and mankind, in "the Parliament of man, thi- federation of the World.” After the address, Mr. Reeder projected the film, entitled. "The Flying Fisherman,” edited by the Eastern, Airlines, in technicolors. The ecenic backgrounds were beautiful and the fishing action was thrilling throughout the film.
