"We have had two or three ofâ€" fers of assistance and are pursuing every avenue to try and put it in shape for the heavy traffic. If the dirt road in question was closed for repairs, all the war workers would be forced to use the road with two miles of gravel, which leads directly .into the village. This would necessitate the cars going over a level crossing," he added. Many cars had to be abandoned on the two iey and muddy roads leading to the factories at Malton and thus scores of aircraft workâ€" ers were late for work on Saturâ€" day. Many others were delayed hours while returning home from night shifts. Cars lined the two roads made treacherous by the light rain which froze the moment it touched the ground.
