WEATHER WARNING SERVICE
Steps Taken to Provide Delaware
With Improved Service

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear announces that the Weather
Bureau has taken steps to pro-
vide Delaware with an improved
warning service during the COM
ing hurricane season.
Mr.. Frear said that among the
new and additional arrangements
being made by the Weather Bu-
reau this year are better tele-
communications, more detailed
hurricane probing flights by Air
Force and Navy aircraft, emerg-
ency hurricane information CEN
ters, enlarged forecast Offices and
additional ship and upper air OBJ
servations.
The Senator's report on the
1855 hurricane detection program
follows action by Congress which
increased funds in the Weather
Bureau appropriation bill in order
to provide greater protection for
coastal communities in the event
of hurricanes.
This year for the first time,'
said Mr.. Frear, wilmington is
hooked up to the hurricane warn
ing teletypewriter circuit con-
Meeting major coastal cities from
Brownsville, Texas, to Eastport,
Maine. All storm advisories, spec
ial weather reports, hurricane
alerts and warnings, and other
pertinent meteorological informa-
tion will thereby become instantly
available at Wilmington for i'm
mediate redistribution to all in
terests in Delaware" he added.
Senator Frear also announced
that the staff at the Weather Bu-
reau Office in Wilmington is being
strengthened by one additional
meteorological aid.
He also disclosed the following
action to be taken by the Bureau
in connection with it's hurricane
warning service:
(1) New weather chart facsimile
equipment will be installed next
week at the Wilmington Weather
Bureau office. This photo trans
mission gear will deliver copies of
go weather charts every "a hours

data needed to provide improved
