Airport reconstruction may take two months or more
Greensboro officials say Greensboro High Point Airport will not handle passenger planes for at least two months due to delays in WPA run way work and Eastern Air Lines withdrawal. Some schedules moved to Winston-Salem airport while Pennsylvania Central continues minimal service. The delay stems from WPA dithering and heightened efforts to push completion. Nearby deer sickness note appears as an aside with a quip about Archimedes and Eureka.
