THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE' FIFTEEN 'Western Farmers Happy, Moisture In Good Supply By the Canadian Press The prairie farmer wears a satisfied smile these days as he ~ surveys his broad acres. Moisture reserves across the grain belt are reported good to excellent and conditions generally are favorable for heavy yields. Throughout the winter and spring, precipitation has been more than adequate in Alberta and Saskatchewan and just a shade below normal in Manitoba. Alberta reported precipitation 24 per cent above normal, Saskatch- ewan had an excess of 20 per cent while the overall picture in Mani- 'toba showed a decrease of one per 'cent. Statistics compiled by the mete- orological division of the depart- . ment of Transport for the period from Aug. 1, 1950, to April 30, 1951, show precipitation was great- est in southern Alberta where the increase over normal was 43 per eent. In the northern area of the province it was 19 per cent and in central Alberta, 12 per cent. Records for Saskatchewan were all on the right side of the ledger. In the southeast the increase over normal was #5 per cent, in the southwest, 15 per cent, and in the north, 19 per cent. Western Mani- toba showed an increase of four per cent, but the eastern section of the province noted a deficiency of five per cent. Generally favorable conditions prevailed during the first two weeks of May and seeding in most prairie areas is well advanced. After a comparatively dry fall, heavy snowfalls occurred over practically the whole of Alberta with excesses ranging as high as 100 per cent in the northern area during November and February. During the first four months of 1951 total precipitation in central Alberta was 60 to 90 per cent above mormal. The only deficien- cies' in southern Alberta during the nine months under review were registered in August and September. Heavy snow during the winter months and April rains were largely responsible for the good showing in Southwestern' and Southeastern Saskatchewan. In northern districts the only defii- ciénces were reported in August and September, but October rain- fall was twice the normal amount. Precipitation in Eastern Mani- toba was, less than normal during most of the nine-month period, but April rains made for a brighter picture. In western areas the best months were October and Decem- ber when precipitation was about 80 per cent above normal. Chingford, Essex, England -- (CP)--Its feathers coated with oil, o.

Airport Sold To Steel Town For One Dollar TRENTON, N. 8. (CP)-- Thirty- six of this steel town's population of 3,000 turned out last night. to vote on whether they wanted to buy an airport. After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the deal, 26 voted in favor of buying the airstrip from the neighboring town of New Glas- gow, six were against it, and two were undecided. Now all Trenton has to do is dig down deep and produce one dollar, a solitary buck, and the airfield is all theirs. It was a rare bargain. . Actually, the deal was made several months ago, but the citi- zens wanted to make it final with a standing vote. It was a good bargain in more than one. Both towns figure it was worth a dollar to ease their troubled minds, For the past two decades it had been a controversial issue over ownership, rights and taxation problems. The airport was started in the thirties by the Pictou County Aero Club. Most of the members were New Glasgow residents but it was built at Trenton, where the lay of the land was more suitable. When the proposition became too, expensive for a private group, it was sold to the town of New Glas- gow. That was when trouble be- gan. Federal expansion of the airport was proposed, but by that time Trenton had built a road around the airstrip. Enlargement of the base was impossible unless the road was removed. Then Trenton slapped a tax bill into the laps of the New Glasgow town council. New Glasgow didn't pay the tax; there was no settle- ment. - Finally, after years of friction between trade boards, New Glas- gow ratepayers voted to sell the field to Trenton for a dollar. All that is required now is for Trenton town council to notify New Glasgow that they will accept and pay the dollar. Then the provincial government will be asked to sanc- tion the sale.

Belgian Family Find Bombing Was Lucky LIEGE, Belgium (CP) -- Being bombed out of their homes during the allied attack on Belgium may have been the luckiest thing that ever happened to three Liege work- ing-class families.
