Granada and Chocolate
Avenues.

including school chil-dren;
employees of the Corpora-tion,

attended the affair.
Supervisors to apply to the High-way
'Department for permission to
install taffic lights at the intersec-tion
of Homestead Road and
Chocolate Avenue.
Such traffic control has been an
objective of the Parent-Teachers
Association for the protection of
school children, and of the Corpor-ation
for the protection of em-ployees
crossing Chocolate Avenue
at this point.
The change will also improve
vehicular traffic control at this
major intersection. In order to
make the traffic control effective,
the Chocolate Avenue-Java_Avenue
intersection will be closed to ve-hicular
traffic', and a cul-de-sac
(turn-around) provided.
These improvements will be
made at no ,cost to the Township
Supervisors except for the traffic
light and any continuation of the
road resurfacing southward to
Areha Avenue.
It is expected that the work will
begin after the new parking facili-ties
on the north side of Chocolate
Avenue are ready for use.
Scenic Turnpike
Ride Will Offer
Thrills In Park
Ever on the alert for new
amusement ideas_to meet the
varied tastes of the thous-ands
who each year , throng
to the Chocolate Town, Her-shey
Park's management has
this season come up with a
thriller: a Turnpike Ride.
Initial plans indicate that twenty
(2.0) gasoline operated miniature
cars will buzz nearly half a mile
along the seven-foot wide turnpike
strip which is now being construct-ed.
Taking advantage of the natural
terrain, officials and engineers
joined hands in adopting a natural-ly
scenic route along meandering
Spring Creek.
Starting and return points will
be in the area of the former No.
15 pavilion, now removed section
by section to another area by Her-shey
Lumber Products employees.
New bridges for the Turnpike
Ride will span Spring Creek: One
between the present high-level
bridge and the Carrousel; another
to handle the return route near the
former parking area barrier.
Crossing Spring Creek near the
Carrousel, the route follows Spring
Creek to the Northeast, through a
tunnel, and skirts the northern
fringe of the across-creek parking
area. It partially circles the park-ing
area and executes a cross-over
near the Park Avenue loop.
Actually, the ride will represent
an adventure in miniature car
operation as the terrain includes
straightaways, curves, tunnel,
bridges, prevailing grades and the
zestful loop and crossover.
It will be fun: For the older
youngsters and all who are young
at heart and feel a thrill at the
throttle and wheel.
Rare Birds Observed By
Bird Watchers In Hershey
Of more than passing interest to
local ornithologists (one who makes
a special study of birds) is the
appearance of fluffy little redpolls
and the brown and yellow evening
grosbeaks.
Mrs. Arthur Whiteman and others
have reported a number of red-polls
in the West Maple Avenue
section, on their Spring migration
to their Arctic nesting grounds.
It is a red-letter day for a bird
lover when be sees a flock of
evening grosbeaks.
