              Progress Made
On New Road
West Of Town .
Finished Product Will
Straighten Out Curves;
Big Bridge Over Creek
A French fashion designer
named Christian Dior has
started a campaign to elim-inate
feminine curves, and the
Pennsylvania Department of
Highways is doing the same
thing to the winding road
from the Hummelstown un-derpass
to the Union Deposit
road.
Here a corps of men and
machines have been at work
since May 3, "ironing out" the
curves, hills and other wrin-kles
as they lay down a new
roadway over the same gen-eral
course.
According to A. J. Bed-ard,
District Engineer,
Pennsylvania Department
of Highways, "the project
begins It a point just be-yond
what is known as the
Hummelstown underpass
. . . and extends . . . to a
point of intersection on
Route 22013 west of Her-shey,
involving a length of
1.57 miles. The purpose of
the construction is to af-ford
a better alignment,
eliminating numerous verti-cal
and horizontal curves."
The current project will
bring the new section of high-way
from the underpass to
the point where the road from
the park swimming pool inter-sects
the road leading from
Swatara Station past the sew-age
disposal plant.
The finished bituminous-surfaced
pavement, the dis-trict
engineer said, will be 24
feet in width, having shoul-ders
eight to ten feet in
width.
Doing the construction job
for the Highways Department
is the H. J. Williams Com-pany,
Inc., of York, whose
low bid on the construction
costs was $280,625.09.
There are 135 working days
allowed for the completion of
the project, and work began
May 3, which would indicate
the construction will be fin-ished
in early Fall—always
taking into consideration
weather conditions and other
factors which influence the
rate of progress.
The most impressive detail
of the new road is the rein-forced
concrete bridge span-ning
Spring Creek near the
"Springdale" Milton Hershey
School farm. The arch has a
length of 62 feet, with the
span measuring 51.75 feet,
affording an average clear-ance
of 18 feet.
It is interesting to note
that the approximate quanti-ties
of material going into the
bridge structure involve 300
cubic yards of Class A con-crete,
450 cubic yards of Class
B concrete, 34,400 pounds of
reinforcing bars, and approxi-mately
800 yards of channel
excavation was removed for
the big span.
The project carries three
legislative routes — Routes
139, 22013 and 22011.
MAJOR THOMAS F. MAR-TIN
and IVAN L. MEASE
were named deputy com-manders
of the- American
Legion's 19th District, which
embraces Dauphin, Lebanon
and Cumberland Counties.

Dick Knoll Wins Employees
Handicap Golf Tournament -
A man who is up from the caddy ranks, Harry Richard
"Dick" Knoll found the familiar greens of Hershey Country
Club responding to his putter in the annual Hershey Em-ployees
Handicap Tournament last week.
As a result of his fine 83 on the long championship lay-out,
Knoll came up with a net 71 to capture the title, along
with the winner's trophy and prize golf balls.
Knoll, a supervisory, employee at the Extraction Plant,
was 39 out and 44 home for his 83, with birdies on the long
par-5 Number 6, the par-3 ninth, and the par-3 fourteenth. He
had a handicap of 12.
Seventy of the 96 em-ployees'
tourney golfers took
their turns over the rolling
fairways in handicap play, but
only one of them could hoard
his strokes effectively enough
to break 80. As would be sup-posed,
the 77 was turned in
by Art Garrison, the smooth.
swinging veteran of public
links- play and president of
the local organization.
Garrison, a draftsman at
the Chocolate Corporation,
turned in rounds of 38-39,
with birdies on the sixth
and the par-4 eleventh.
Playing over his "home
course," Fritz Miller was out
in 37 but slipped to a 43 on
the return nine for an 80 card.

Wolfe (94-22, 72) and in the
third spot was Wes Lehman
(99-25,74).
In order, following Lehman
were: Gethin Kurtz (101-26,
75) ; Lebanon's ,Maynr. ,Fritz
Miller '(6-5, 75).
Five were bracketed at 76:
Royce Ward (106-30), John
Malloy (90-14) ; Bob Cadiz
(94-18) ; Art Garrison (77-1) ;
and Pete O'Neal (94-18).
