It will be some distance frcm the highway and the contract calls for the building of a gravel road in to it. This part of the contract will be sublet.

At, present there is a. mobile short range direction finding unit on the station but this new one will have a much longer range. It 1: actually a radio receiver and if a pilot finds himself in bad weather he can send on his radio for a few seconds .and he is given a bearing on which he can come home . . . . as he ar- rives in the circuit of the alrdrnme the ground controlled approach sys- tem takes over and brings him in for a landing. If an aircraft is in distress and there is a possibility of a forced landing a bearing could be taken on it frcm two of those sta- tions and his position located. oth- er such direction finding units are located at other airforce stations. -

"That: was a long time ago. But Mrs Hamill snapped quickly: "You're not fooling me one whit."

"Mrs. Hamill. a native of Prince -Edward Island. Canada. who came here from Maine in 1892. added tart- ly that being photographed on her with birthday was sheer nonsense ”Pfaash!' it's silly." she said."-S.
