Ground At Felts Field Emerges From Blanket. GROUND AT FELTS FIELD EMERGES FROM BLANKET Bare spots appeared on Felts field yesterday where the ice sheet yielded to a rain in the morning View of the long-concealed gravel was welcomed. Ground conditions have improved, but are not so good yet, Al Connick reports. Planes ol four airlines appeared at their usual hours. In his daily ascents to 18,000 feet altitude, Roy Schreck, weather scout, scored a bullseye in February, not having been closed out a day despite almost negative conditions at times. Of the 28 flights, 26 were begun at 12:30 a.m., one at the break of day and one about 9 a.m. On the last two days fog and snow screened the view. Roy E. Roos, district traffic manager, Northwest Airlines, and Guy Talbot of his department are attending the yearly traffic meeting at St. Paul, Minn.
