Snow Clearance on
System Roads Only
Snow removal equipment will be
confined to the Federal Aid
Systems roads this winter, accord

means not only elimination of
driveway clearance, but also elim
ination of clearance on a few roads
off the System which the Terri
tory has paid Public Roads to plow
in past years.

Pole headed by the late Admiral
Richard Byrd. Confirming the
geographical premise that this
polar region was a sub-tropical
land many eras ago, a helicopter
with the expedition found and
photographed from the air a

snow, in the midst of Antarctica’s
