Blue Hill Staff Given More Research Time

The United States Weather Bureau has taken over routine weather observations at the University's Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, leaving the observatory staff free to conduct basic weather research.

Maintaining weather records which have been kept at the station for many years, the Bureau will make observations of temperature, rainfall, wind velocity and so forth.

Meanwhile the University staff will conduct research into dust layers in a portion of the earth's atmosphere, especially through examination of the sun's rays at twilight. This is considered of possible importance to future space travel.
