Snow Packing Machine Can Build Airstrip on Snow in Few Hours

OTTAWA, R-Canada has de- veloped a noWcompaction ma chine which can build an airstrip in northern SHOWS in a matter of hours.
 The project has been secret undertaking of the Defense De- partment since 1947. Work on it was completed last winter but only now have even limited de- tails been released by defense of ficialS.
 The machine can turn out an airstrip without the land being cleared and in almost any level location-as long as there is snow and the weather is cold. A fighter or medium bomber airfield could be laid down almost anywhere in the north during winter months.
 A 3,000-foot runway which can bear the weight of four-engine Lancaster bomber has been built by three of the machines in 45 hours.
 The United States took part in the development.

After three years of trying .tc
fight comedy with comedy, NBC
has pitted a serious show about

The death of their little daugh-

wrote a book. Angel Unaware"
which was a tender and sensitive
discussion of the loss Of a child,
and she and Roy decided at once
to adopt two more children-Sandy

has certain duties. Even little Do

hang up her clothes before she

clothes and spread up their beds
before they leave for school in the
morning. The two older girls make
their own beds, set the table and
help with the dishes.
"TodayS youngsters are living
in such a mixed-up world that I
think the only way to keep them
on the right track is to give them
responsibilities, and try to teach
them the rules.
Things are tough for kids these
days, especially the boys. I've
talked with thousands of them all
over the country, and think the
reason for all the problems of jul

feel lost and uncertain in a shaky
world. The boys say, What's the
