NEW ANTI-SUBMARINE AIRSHIP NEARS COMPLETION
A new type blimp, the largest non-rigid airship ever built, has been
developed as an answer to the threat of enemy submarines. It is
the "Nan-Ship," soon to be launched into the air. Larger than the
blimps of World War II, and carrying more submarine detection
devices, it is capable of flying longer and farther without refueling.
Airships, operating with planes and surface vessels, have proved
successful in seeking out and tracking submarines. , ,

poor drainage, ' Soil samples were al
so taken on Out land to determine the
lime and fertilizer requirements for
crops next year.
It is important that soil be well
