Rainmaker Has 3rd Try Today

Meteorologist Wallace C. Howell '36 leaves for New York this morning for a third attempt at rainmaking in the Catskill Mountains. The rainmakers were frustrated in their latest attempt on Wednesday, March 29, when nature produced her own rain.

Another try at producing rain with dry ice pellets dropped by spout and hopper attachments into the Catskill clouds was curbed by a downpour Thursday, March 23. Only good weather will allow the scientists to try out their $50,000 experiment in a third attempt today.
