Rainfall Plentiful But Below Average May Precipitation Totals 4.03 Inches Fairly Evenly Distributed Over Period. Rainfall here in May approached but did not quite match average precipitation for the month, Total rain for the month measured by Sam Dupy at the city pumping station was 4.03 inches fairly evenly distributed through the 31-day period. The 50-year average for the area unofficially is 4.23 Inches. For the 1951-57 dry period, the average for May was an above-normal 4.29 inches, In 1957 there were 4.51 inches of moisture recorded at the pumping station.

Though the May total was a bit below average, there was little concern over lack of moisture, Wheat and small grains were generally thriving, pastures looking good, ponds full and gardens promising bumper crops. If anything, the precipitation WAS a problem for those farmers, in the western part of the county especially, who were still trying to plant corn, Rainfall in May came as .07 on the second, .17 on the third, .59 on the fourth, .79 on the fifth, .29 on the eighth, a trace on the 15th, .47 on the 16th, trace on the 17th, .21 on the 18th, .21 on the 21st, trace on the 25th, .71 on the 28th and .52 on the 31st.

Chillicothe DAILY EDITION CHILLICOTHE, New Tubular Press for Constitution-Tribune Continuing its growth and expansion in a growing communIty, The Constitution-Tribune has purchased a 16-page Duplex tubular printing press, a press of the type used by metropolitan daily newspapers. Negotiations for the purchase, which have been underway for several weeks, were completed today by Charles E. Watkins, publisher of The Constitution-Tribune. "We are particularly proud of this step," Watkins said in announcing the purchase, adding that the new will take care of a city several times Chillicothe's present It will be the biggest single major improvement in the history of this newspaper which dates back more than 90 years, The press will be installed in the future home of The Constitution-Tribune at 818 Washington, former location of Service Laundry Cleaners. Installation will begin early in July and will require four to five weeks, Additional and more modern stereotyping equipment will be installed at the same time.

With its new facilities, The Constitution-Tribune will become one of the best equipped small dally newspapers in Missouri. steady, planned program of mechanical improvement has been underway since 1946. The new press will be a four-unit, 16-page press, twice the capacity of our present press. To the reader It means that papers of 10, 12, 14 and 16-page sizes will be printed in one section rather than two, as is the case at present. Should the need arise In the future, two more units can be added to the press, bringing its.

pacity to 24 pages. Press-time, the actual operational time required to print the newspaper, will be reduced materially. The new tubular press will print up to 20,000 papers per. hour; our present flatbed-type press is operated at approximately 4,000 per hour. Press-time' now is an hour and a half per day for papers of eight pages or less; it's three hours a day for Issues of 10 to 16 pages.

Press-time when the new facilities are in operation will be approximately 20 to 25 minutes a day for issues of any size up to 16 pages, The new press will make possible color printing at some future time. Color printing is mechanically impossible with the type of flatbed press this newspaper has used and is using at present. The Constitution-Triburie will be one of only a few daily newspapers in North Missouri to have a rotary-type press. Other newspapers of the area which have them are the St. Joseph NewsPress Gazette, Hannibal Courler-Post, Moberly -Index, Maryville Forum and Mexico Ledger.

Installation of 16-page tubular presses was completed at Maryville about two years ago and at Mexico less than a year ago.

German Woman Here on Visit Sees Missouri as Big Park Missouri is like a big, natural park and Chillicothe a small resort town in the opinion of Mrs. Helene Petrus of Germany, here on her first visit to the United States. This also is Mrs. Petrus's first visit with her daughter, Mrs.

Robert Trager of 1403 Burnam road, since 1954 and the first time she has seen her only grandchild, 2-year-old Michael Trager. Mrs. Petrus exclaimed her dislike for large cities, preferring smaller towns. But if Missouri is a large park, she also compares it to a rather untidy one. The woods in Germany are cleared of underbrush, she says, and people can go for Jong walks in the outdoors.

In this country people do not seem to her to do much walking at all and even less in the brush-grown woods. The Petrus fainily has lived in Munich only since the end of World War II. Originally they lived at Falkenberg near the Polish border. They left there in January of 1945 as the Russians approached within 18 miles and their guns were easily heard. They had no contact with the Russians, The Russians were "close 8 couple of times, but we were lucky."

By GARVEN HUDGINS PARIS, June 3 (A') Premier Charles de Gaulle, armed with all the broad powers he demanded of Parliament, turned his attention today to Algeria and the army running it in his hame.

De Gaulle summoned Gen, Raoul Salan, the French troop commander, from Algiers for consultation Salan has been ruling Algeria openly in the name of the rebellious French there. An escort waiting at the airport whisked him off to see De Gaulle. After thus asserting his authority over the army, De Gaulle called in Robert Lacoste, resident minister in Algeria who has a big following among the rebellious French colonists there. De Gaulle will go to Algeria Wednesday. The Senate vote completed action within 48 hours on the threepart emergency program demanded by De Gaulle as his price for tak1ng the helm of France in its hour of crisis.

Shortly thereafter, the National Assembly by unanimous consent voted to adjourn until Oct. 7 to allow De Gaulle to rule unimpeded by Parliament. Not even the communist deputies, bitter foes of the general, objected, Despite the imminance of De Gaulle's trip to Algiers, the French commander in chief there, Gen Raoul Salan, flew to Paris today on the new premier's order.

'Phone Cable Will Go Underground New Plan To Be Used in Browning, Meadville and Linneus Areas. The new telephone wires and cables to provide dial telephone service in the exchange areas of Browning, Linneus and Meadville, outside of the towns will be plowed in underground, according to C. W.

Chastain, general manager of the Grand River Mutual Telephone Corporation of Princeton, Mo. This method of construction, which is just now receiving widespread acceptance by the telephone industry, enables the automatic laying of wires and cables in a slit in the ground made by a type of blade pulled by a heavy tractor. The slit is so narrow that it practically seals itself, doing no damage to the roadway or other ground surfaces through which it passes, telephone officials said. "There will be occasions, of course," Chastain said, "when the plow cannot be used, such as crossing a creek. The cable or wire will (Continued on Page 5.)
