Jaycees Resurfacing Runway

Strip At Airport Gets Race Work
McMinnville Jaycees Saturday began resurfacing a north-south runway at McMinnville airport in preparation for automobile drag races this summer. The project will be completed about the middle of July, it has been estimated. surfacing material runs from the large truck into the frame "squeegee" and is spread as the truck tows the frame down the runway. Two more work parties probably will be needed on the project, to cost about $3000.
