GALLUP POLL SAYS: One Out Of Every Four Adults Would Like Task Of Learning Flying Art Persons Interested In Taking Flying Lessons Are Willing To Pay, On Average, $100 For Tuition By GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., April 5. — If all the people who today say they would like to learn to fly started taking their first lesson, the sky would be black with airplanes. For nation-wide questioning by the Institute among adults who cannot already fly finds better than one out of every lour wno say tney would like to learn to pilot a plane. While the mere desire to learn to fly is a long way from a private pilot’s certificate, there is in to day’s poll at least some indication of a bright future for the private flying schools and private plane manufacturers. On the^ average, people said they would be willing to spend $100 for learning. Young people offer the best mar ket. Fully half of those from 21 to 29 years of age indicate they want to become pilots, as contrasted to people over 50 years of age, 89 per cent of whom say they have no in terest whatever in learning to fly. Men are somewhat better pros pects for flying school salesmen than women the poll finds. Civil ian Aeronautic Administration fig ures on the number of women hold ing private flying certificates also bears this out. Of the more than 100,000 persons holding certificates for private flying on January 1, 1945, only slightly more than 4,000 were women. The questions in today’s poll: “Would you like to learn to fly an airplane?” Yes __27% No _69 Undecided _ 4 The vote among men and women: Men Women Yes _30% 22% No _67 74 Undecided _3 4 Age groups: 21-29 30-49 50 yrs. yrs. yrs. and over Yes..50% 28% 9% No _47 68 89 Undecided 3 4 2 THE THREAT of war and the war itself gave a tremendous im petus to interest in flying. The CAA Pilot Training Service, beginning in 1940, gave flying training to more than 400,000 through contracts with colleges and private flying schools, before terminating its activities in 1944. Moreover, the CAA continues to encourage courses in schools and colleges with an aviation education service which provides books, teachers, etc. Several thousand high schools offer courses in avia tion. Meanwhile, facilities for private flying have increased markedly since 1940. Increased training pro grams just before the war and dur ing the war brought a boost in the number of flying schools and in the number of airports throughout the nation. The prospects for the future of many of the flying schools and air ports lies in the number of persons who take flying lessons and who own planes of their own or who be come members of cooperative groups owning planes. A recent CAA survey of plane manufacturers report orders for private planes at the end of 1945 were six times over the number ordered in 1941. The CAA has pre dicted that 320,000 planes will be devoted to personal or business use by 1955. SEEKS NOMINATION WARSAW, April 5.—(A5)—Rivers D.

ACL To Use Color Plan For Future Shop Painting What may turn into a “colorful array’’ of new shop equipment in Atlantic Coast Line shops all along the line, was announced yesterday by company officials. Color dynamics, a relatively new science, is being incorporated into the construction plans fo’ the new equipment and building now being erected at the Montgomery, Ala., plant, and if successful, will be considered in other facilities along the line. Safety Builder The experiment, first of its kind on the entire railroad system, is designed to improve safety con ditions, raise employe morale, and reduce tension and fatigue of workers, experts say. Based on the accepted fact that color has a great influence on human behavior, the new science is employed to secure results, beneficial to both the employe and the company. Eye Strain In practice, several restful colors are used in surroundings to relieve ' eye strain, monotony, and result ing laxity which provokes acci dents. The bright'colors are applied at vital points, such as switches, moving parts of machines, fire fighting equipment, in order that these spots will always be striking ly visible to workers. The scheme in general is blended to provide a cheerful working atmosphere. Shops Rebuilt The Montgomery shops, destroy ed by the tornado of 1944, are be ing rebuilt from the ground up. Color dynamics will be the guiding factor in the mill room, tool room, air brake room, locker rooms, and toilet facilities, and on machinery installed. Colors of paints to be applied are: vista green, focals ivory, orange, yellow, red and black. Focal Ivory Vista green is used for non critical areas of machines, since it is a receding, eye-rest color that does not attract the eyes away from the machine’s operating parts. Focal ivory covers operat ing parts. Red is used for switches because of its high visibility and conse quent ease of location in case of emergency. Orange marks manual controls of machines, for the same reason and also for added effici ency of operation. For Body Parts In new Montgomery shops, focal green will be the color of all body sections of machines, work benches, tool bins, lockers, waste cans. Focal orange will be used on hand wheels, levers grill guards around machines, switches on walls and columns, truck bodies and o^her mobile equipment. Focal yellow will be used on machine numbers, safety signs, waste can stripping, bodies of cranes and booms; and focal ivory on all moving parts of machines. Focal black is used for all other parts of machines. Blue Walls A new era in wall colors are in store for the once rather “drab” shop walls. They will t>e painted soft blue and ivory, with border lines on low'er sections, painted gray. Completion date for the shops has not been announced, due to a large degree on availability of ma terials. TRAVELER’S AID TAKES HUGE JOB With One Dollar For 25 Days. Society Seeks To j Aid Family Of Five With one dollar to go for the remaining 25 days of April, the lo cal Traveler’s Aid society yester day took the job of providing food and lodging for a stranded family of five. They also did a major amount of 1 work, locating an uncle of two Ne gro girls who came up from Flori da to visit. The uncle was finally found in Bolivia, and the two girls were forwarded by bus, prepaid. Hear Stories In addition to the two cases! 1 above mentioned, the society wrote 1 1 meal tickets for nine transient ? “bums”, and listened again to their tales of woe. ! The family of five, having “miss- '• ed the boat,” at Red Cross, and 1 Welfare headquarters, entrained for Wilmington yesterday, where they had made reservations at the ] Orton hotel, according to local of- - ficials. The man, his wife and their three children, one of whom is one ^ month old, another three years and ^ a third, whose age is sandwiched : in between, came here from Lynch- i burg, Va., where the father hopes '• to secure work. 1 Miss Joyce Dunham, Travelers < Aid clerk, said the man seemed ' to have no legal address, and he and his family appear “just to be drifting around.” She said the family will probably be sent back to Lynchburg, or some other place to be later designated. The five are “honest to goodness travelers,” according to Miss Dun ham, who said they will be on • their way again by nightfall, prob ably seeking work in some other sec. ion. In the meantime they will be guests of Travelers Aid. Mrs. Ray Galloway, executive secretary of the Travelers Aid said last night that although the family 1 of five have their troubles yet to be I worked out, the nine "bums” are enjoying their meals, and the two Negro girls are supposedly having a pleasant visit with their Bolivian uncle. Cabbie Aids The two Negro girls were accom panied by a ten-months-old infant, said to be the child of the 18-year old. The society gave credit to a Negro cab driver, who assisted in finding the girls’ uncle.
