Slippers For Hostesses
(N.Z. Press Association) KAITAIA, June 26. The National Airways Corporation can do little about the stiletto heels with which its women customers batter its aircraft, but it is to ensure that its flight hostesses do not wear them. A meeting discussing timetables for Northland at Kaitaia agreed that spindly heels were impractical for women who had to move round an aircraft in flight and the chiei accountant for N.A.C., Mr A. R. Otten, said that special slipper-type shoes were being imported from Australia. He did not know how the practice of wearing stiletto heels had developed. Hostesses on overseas flights certainly did not wear them.
