In Northeastern France Adolphe Willm, the snail king, warns a German-supplied bottleneck threatens French snail exports to Paris and Burgundian canneries. Snails are imported alive from Germany, with prices rising, as demand from American tourists persists. Willm operates a wine and snail business with his son and grandson, detailing a long, laborious process from harvesting to serving.

City okays offstreet parking and Sky Harbor rules
City council approves offstreet parking on vacant lots near the old bus terminal and adopts rules governing Sky Harbor Airport operations. City Manager Ray W. Wilson says meters will be installed and impact studied, with the downtown project guiding any airport meters. An ordinance funds water purchases from SRVWUA and sets monthly advances up to 75,000 dollars. A street-lighting contract with Central Arizona Light and Power Co. seeks large savings, with Calapco to install a four year plan expanding street lights citywide. System cost 1.3 million dollars, city share 254 thousand annually for 20 years, option to buy at 2 year intervals starting 1953.
