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. HERSHEY Vol. NEWS HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, AUGUST 12, 1954 No. 32 1 A NEW CHAMPION CONGRATULATED — Dick Knoll, holding the trophy he won in the annual Hershey Employees Handicap Golf Tournament, receives the congratulations of last year's winner, Art Garrison. Knoll shot an 83 over the Country Club course to win the tourney with a net 71. Garrison was named chairman of the committee elected to handle next year's tourna-ment. The committee members are also shown in the photo. Left to right: Bill Pendleton, Glenn Hummer, Garrison, Knoll, Brent Hancock and Francis Garman. 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. Runner-up to Knoll was Bob 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). At 78 were Dick Bricker (89-11) ; Bill O'Neal (82-4) ; Frank Magrini (85-7) ; Park Spancake (92-14) ; and Paul Henry (85-7). Rounding out the list of prize-winners were the Seven-ty- Niners : Dick Hoerner (100- 21) ; George Boyer (91-12) ; Gene Broadwater (94-15) ; "Giant" Lalli (85-6) ; Joe Co-laniro (91-12) ; Pete Gasper (86-7) ; and Jack Levens (89-10). 'Awards Presented William E. Schiller, treas-urer and comptroller of the Chocolate Corporation, pre-sented golf balls to the win-ners in the handicap tourna-ment during the banquet which followed the day's play at the Country Club. A participant himself in the annual employees' tourney, D. Paul Witmer, manager of the Lumber Products and vice-chairman of the Board of Managers, presented the tournament trophy to Knoll. Playoff Winners Winners of the playoff for the championship were the members of the high-scoring No. 3 team headed by Scotty Manari which defeated Giant Lalli's No. 4 team last week at the Park Golf Club by a score of 81-66.
