I,urje and Miss Dorothy Stabler, social workers of wide experience, have created a new profession for women. They are specializing in service to elderly elder-ly persons in New York City.

Boswcll, of Cleveland, Ohio, started flying at the age of forty-two because it seemed the only way. to get her children home from summer camp in time for Sunday dinner.

When she learned that an airplane could do it in two hours and forty minutes, she decided to take up flying. According to her, flying is just like cooking, only safer. The proper prop-er conditions for cooking and flying fly-ing are similar. Plane in condition and an intelligent operator assure a good flight.
