The material is believed to be primarily silt and will be placed in an overlay, on tundra and muskeg Length of haul to the nearest end of the land ing strip will be approximately 1000 feet As the overlay progresses, the length of the haul will increase.
 The work at Tanunka will consist of grading a crowned landing strip having a tight. well compacted surface using the gravelly material at hand on the site. No estimate is made of the quan- tity of material to be moved but the work should be easily and quickly ac complished.
 No further information is available concerning these projects, other than the verbal clarification that may be obtained from personnel of the Division of AVia- tion. It is the intention of the Division of Aviation to field design the projects.

PARIS-With everybody
safely back in town and all
the hotel rooms packed with
foreign visitors. the greatest
show is on In Paris. Not one
single show, but a series of
exhibits, unique perform
anceS and flash visits of per-
sonalities.
Whose show Is 1t really?
Maurice Chevalier's? He is
celebrating his rs years Of
age with a three-hour "One-
Man Show" at the Theatre
des Champs Elysees, where
successful" would be a poor
understatement, for all seats
are booked in advance for
weeks. On opening night the
show was In the audience as
well, with all Of Paris present
and showers Of red roses
raining on stage, thrown by
his admirers.
In his program Maurice
had smartly mixed some Of
his old hits with a lot of
new sons. bowling in the old
fashioned way and dancing
the twist like a teenager.
Even the French pretender,
the "Comte de Paris" was
among the guests Of honor.
Space Dancer
Or was 1t YOUR Gagarin's
show? The Russian cosmo-
naut who came to town to
assist an Astronautic Con-
greSs and ended up at the
famous Mains" for dinner,
where he said that the place
reminded him of his native
countryI Yes, the valses and
tangoes, played by the or
chestra." Hours before he
had already lost his colonel's
cap at the reception In the
Paris town hall. 1t must have
been the champagne or one
of his fans
But the great official at
traction, drawing everybody
to Paris, is the annual inter-
national autom bile fair,
causing the years worst traf-
fic jams. Parisians as well as
visitors from outside, all
want to inspect their next
means Of locomotion. Moth
ing very new, but many
refined models were shown.
So it's the best time to visit
some other exhibits, too.
What exhibit? Perhaps the
first great Antique Show at
the Swiss Village, which is
neither a village nor Swiss,
but just q whole block of
small antique shops near the
Eiffel Tower. There are 100
counters with curious old
objects from all over Europe
for sale. Expensive, yes, but
there is the fall junk Fair
Just started on the big boule-
ward between the Bastille
and the Republique, where
