MOON -AND NI6HT, SEVEN DAYS A Town Fights Airport For Existence TAKELEY, England (AP) In the Essex farmlands 30 mles north of London a village is fighting for its life. If the fight fails, the bulldoz- ets move in. Takeley and its 12th century church will vanish beneath a sea of concrete. London needs a new airport, ami Takeley's rich farmlands are earmarked for the runways.

Until late February it seemed the villagers' fight was lost. The death sentence had been proclaimed by the government and approved by the House of Commons. A sudden switch inside Prime Minister Harold Wilson's cabinet brought the villagers new hope. The Board of Trade ordered a new public inquiry. "This," said Geoffrey 40, a farmer whose livelihood is threatened, "is a reprieve but not total victory.

So we'll keep fighting. "Why should we lose everything because a few faceless men in ministries want to grab our land for an airport? "We'll fight all the way, and I waged before the inquiry. The and a mile farther north an air- villagers, backed by such powerful organizations as the National Farmers Union and county councils representing more than 15 million people, argue that it's close to madness for this overcrowded island to use good land for airports. They want the government to give close study to alternative proposals. One is to expand the airport at Luton, midway between London and the industrial midlands.

Another is to build a giant international airport and deep-water dock on reclaimed land off Essex. Peter Masefield, chairman of the government airport authority, believes these arguments are misplaced. London's present airport facilities, he says, are already inadequate and soon will be choked. In a speech he contended that the new airport must be in action by that the new inquiry, as did a previous one, will find Takeley project the inevitable choice. As English villages go, Take- mean fight.

A century ago cheap grain from Canada and the Middle West threw the area's wheat and barley farmers into bankruptcy.

Their crews learned to play darts and drink warm beer in the Three Horseshoes at Mole Hill Green, a tiny thatched pub.
