Pan Am Reports
New Records on
World-Wide Routes
NEW YORK, tflV—Pan American
World Airways reported today it
flew 2,200,000 passengers on its
world-wide routes during 1955
and piled up 2,800,000,000 passen
ger miles.
These represented new records
for the airline, President Juan T.
Trippe said in the annual report
to stockholders. The number of
passengers was 22 percent above
the year before and the number
of passenger-miles was 23 percent
more.
Trippe said the airline increased
its share of the highly-competitive
North Atlantic trade from 29 to
33 percent and carried 205,000
passengers there during the year.
He reported that 70 percent of
all U.S. overseas travel moved by
air last year and that spending
by travelers and tourists was the
largest single item in the balance
of international payments.
American tourists spent $1V2
billion abroad last year, he said,
and foreign countries used the
money to pay for 10 percent of all
American goods sold abroad.
PAA’s cargo business was up
also, he said, to 18 percent over
the year before.

Cricket Players Protest
Overlapping of Pitch
By New Baseball Diamond
VICTORIA, B.C., (/P>—A sub
urban Oak Bay council was caught
on a sticky wicket today by a
clash of interests between cricket
and baseball.
The cricketeers were up in
arms about a recent over-lapping
of the Windsor Park cricket pitch I
by a new baseball diamond.
“It’s a shocking thing for any
one from England to come and see
us playing under these condi
tions,” said cricketeer J. A. Hob
day. “Deep cover is standing on
the mound . . . second base and
the extra cover wouldn’t get along
very well.”
The Sunday cricket match has
been a tradition in the park for
the last 11 years, he said.
“We have a great following
come down and bring their own
chairs and bring their ter ”
There has been a suggestion
that the cricket ground be moved
to another park, but “Gentlemen,
you can’t play cricket on a potato
field.”

THE PANSY BROWNIES
We missed our meeting before
Easter because most of the
Brownies went to the matinee
downtown. So we made Easter
baskets last week. They were
filled with Easter egg candies and
had a little bunny on the handle.
Linda has been sick. Helen and
Jeannie stopped at her house with
an Easter basket.

MAKING FELT PURSES
For the last two weeks the Blue
bell Brownies have been making
little bags or purses out of differ
ent colors of felt. We put flowers
on the bags. This week we had
only one leader because Mrs.
Morris couldn’t get into town. Elin
Walterson played “O Susanna”
and a Brownie song on the piano.

Scotsmen's Reputation
Squelches Whisky Plan
LONDON, Iff)—Laborite R. R.
Stokes urged the Conservative
government to take over the sale
of Scotch whisky to the United
States. He claimed the distillers
aren’t charging all the traffic will
bear, and are thus losing valuable
dollar exchange.
A. R. W. Dow, Parliamentary
spokesman for the government
Board of Trade, rejected the idea,
asking:
“Have you ever met a Scotsman
who will sell something at a low -
er price than he can get?”
