steady stream of individuals seeking opportunities in the, new business and k' tbey struggled desparately to sort the wbeat from the chaif. The task was to find work for the individual, rather than men for the work. Nôw, the task is to' find- the individual besýt qualified for1 each' position. Tis' stresses the importance of qualific.a- tinadis distinctly to the advantage of the ypung Man. Wtotseeking. to 'Est ini the space ofa short, interview ail the various pos- j itionâ which exist in comnmercial avia- ion,, one may point out some o h more important activities of a large Company. The Curtiss Wrighitcorpora- tion, for "example, bas six, factories producing' àirplanes and two producing airplane engines. It hias alsothe only independent experimenta ' plant for researcb and development work in the theory and, design of aerodynamics. It bas large general business offices -1 which serve' as beadquarters for ac- tivities thfroughout the.: country. It bas fields to mnanage, and. op-rate, k:-workshops ta rnaintaiii, flvitng staff rect.. Banking, insurance and expor- tation are now intimately connectcd with aviation. With,.ail this varied activity, it mnust be obvious that business op portunfities * exist in commercial' aviation for the' young mnan planning a career. 1 must, however, stress- the fact tha, execu- tiives are flot seeking men at present. Fvery position1 is occupied now. What the aviation executive seeks is a better man for everv ,position than the man ýtter 44 before. . I uppose every young man enterinig business bas beard oi t said repeatedly, -- that "there is always room- at the top."? College men frequentiyfail to, under- stand the meaning of:- this axiom of business. - The explanation is quite simple. It ,means that executives can -always finid.aIl the cheap labor they want, but that it is exceedingly difficult to find men of intelligence and high i- calibre. the iight place is the ideal botb of the individual and of the executive. Perbaps I can offer some simple rules wbich will be helpful. For the guidance of men graduating from col-. lege who'tbink,,tbey, may find a care er in commercial aviation'_I. wouId stress - hree factors for' consideration. First viction that- ne snould enter commer- cial aviation, the next step is through analysis to determine the special field in which to find an outtet for bis tbought -and activity. With the in- creasing competition. no individual will be a success- in aviation unless he gives it every oun1ice oýf bis energy and ability. The field of sales offers, the greatest opportunity to those. qualified by tem- perament and training 'to seIl and' this phase 'should.receiv.e the first and Most serious consideration.. The great coin- panies in commercial- aviation are -en- gaged primarily inthe manufacture of' airplanes and airplane. engints and the sales department is the productive ac- tivity .Which insures their profits. The rewards, therefore, will. alwaysý be gr!eater for1 the sales department than for, any other and this should be weighed by young men embarking up- on- a usiness career. There. is just one other point I sîould. like to emphasize for college menî and it is concerned. with the ques- tnon of >liyiiTg. White co~inerdaI avia- lion, xve recognize, is a busiess and must follow the rules of business prac- tice, the fact, that.-it is built Up around a new -fôrm ocif transportation makes it necessary to take account of this factor of motion -throughi the air in-m st.ead of' on land or water. ýAbilîty to pAiot an airplanleis monst desirable as one of the qualifications of those seeking a career in commner- cial aviation. It is not by any mecans an absoluite. essential. The individual may niever- fiini- it necessary to fly. The reason I emphasize it is becauise of the handicap a mnan 'will suifer i case he is; not a pilot. Fortunately, it is *asy n!owadaNs for any man physically and mientally iîor- nal to become a p-ilot in six to eighit weeks. A, private -pilot's. license, is- siied by the United States depart- ù ment of commerce; aeronautics ýdivi- sion , will be a sufficient certificate of the flying ability of aman seeking to conneçt himhself , ith. commercial aviation. *There are mnany excellent schools for flying. located throughiout the United.

Ariel's parents are 'familiar- to fol3- lowers of tournam ents and Ariel's fa ther is equally proininent to aviation fans throtghout the country . In turn- iug to aviation, then, Ariel again f ol- lows. the lead of ber father.
