M.C.A. Plane Aids Transportation In Newfoundland

CORNER BROOK. Nfld-. Oct. 11 —(CP)-——A Maritime Central Air- ways plane landed here today on an airstrip completed Sunday in 24 hours to help offset the transpor- portation tleup resulting from the Newfoundland railway strike.

Capt. Carl Burke, M. C. A. man- ager, brought a DC-B dow on this I,500-foot strip at Little Rapids farm near this Western Newfound- land pulp and paper town.

Construction was started Satur- lay as the rail walkout threaten- ed. By the time the 2,5000 railway workers struck at 11 a.m. today the field was ready.

Because Corner Brook is linked with St. John's by rail only, open- ing of the field will mean that travellers may still move back and forth between here and the capital. A certain amount of freight also ‘an be moved in.
