Trans-Canada Air Lines has the an swer: “In winter time.” Up in Northern Ontario T.CA. op erates two airports for the Depart ment of Transport. They are at Arm strong and Kapuskasing. Both fields have paved strips, or runways, on which aircraft normally land and^take off. In the past it was the custom for T.C.A.’s maintenance forces at these fields to roll the snow on the landing strips. " This presents a hard surface on which the wheels of a commercial air transport can hardly make a ripple. Come spring break-up, however,, the hard-packed snow is transformed to xice. It stayed when the' rest of the field was clear. Two years' of experi ment have brought- a new technique. T.C.A.’s drags and rollers- will' leave the paved strips severely alone- this winter. Instead, new runways will- be rolled adjacent to the old'. When spring comes'ithe paved strips will be blown clear with snow Blow ers leaving the rolled surfaces- for sun and wind to clear later. T.C.A, services R.C'.A.F. planes- at these fields as well as its own. It has become doubly important to- keep> the fields usable during the .break-up' per iod. But the time ito start is- now and the new winter strips are in operation-.. The national air service'hopes the new wrinkle will do the trick-.
