"CATS" DOING SOIAE PRE-SEASON
CLEARING WHEREVER POSSIBLE
Due to frost still being present to
such an extent in most of the land
to be cleared in the Valley, the
regular schedule of clearing with
heavy machinery will not be begun
for about another month, according
to Bob Laurie in charge of the Gar
age. "However," he states, "wc are
already doing ?temc clearing, he
have found that there arc a few
places which have been cleared and
picked up and then burnt ever with
brush fires so as to remove most of
the moss, which has helped to clear
the frost up a little sooner. We
are going ahead with these places
as fast as the condition of the. land
and our equipment permits."
He adds that "The work which is be
ing done now will not interfere with
the clearing program. When the
ground is thawed enough to clear all
the land, the “-cats" will start over
the routes as outlined previously."
This department is working out plans
now to break and disc land which was
bulldozed last year. Those who have
land in this condition, should notify
