Rain Better'n
Hot Weather
Says Weatherman
DETROIT—This years un-
seasonal down pour of rain
is a wet and welcome contrast
to a year ago when all of Ore
gon was “sweating out” the
worst drought in the state’s
history. A spectacular light
ning storm set the sun dried
Cascades ablaze at the end of
August last year which had
been sucked dry by a rain
less summer extending 77
days from June 22nd to Sept.
6th.
A total of 3.25 inches of rain
has fallen in the area this
month according to weather
man, Joe Muise, with the
greatest amount in a 24 hour
F?»-iod recorded as .75 of an
inch August 19th. Muise said,
normal precipitation for Au-
guist over a 24 year period is
.99 of an inch. A record fall
was 3.16 in August 1953. This
years record has already sur
passed that figure and it is
still raining.
Snow fell at the 7,000 foot
level Friday and Saturday.
Three Fingered Jack, a 7,793
foot pinnacle Southeast of

City of Detroit May
Have Airstrip
DETROIT—The city of De

developing an airstrip on the

The proposal calls for a

Under the new plan, if a

build the strip on the site,
according to Jerry Coffman,
