CHURCH DISH

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 10.
Eggs by the hundred, barrels OF
clans, two motorists, truck and
an automobile found themselves
mixed together into one huge
omelette on the steps of the Third
Baptist colored church here this
morning, and it took the police
more than an hour to unscramble
the mess.
It all came about at the inter-
section Of Patrick and Princess
Streets, practically at the front
door of the church.
A truck operatd by Preston
Clark, %, of Richmond, Va, con-
tanning more than a dozen bar
rels of clans and a large number
of crates of eggs collided with an
automobile operated by Irving L.
Daniels, of Route 3, Alexandra.
Both vehicles overturned and
the truck Sprawled its contents
over the premises in generous
quantity.
The steps Of the church were
damaged to the extent of $175,
but both drivers escaped unhurt.

BOOST

MANASSAS, Va, April 13.-Con-
struction of a Battlefield Trail"
through Prince william county, to
connect the Gettysburg and
Petersburg battle grounds, will be
urged by a county delegation at
the annual meeting Of the Vir-
ginia Highway Commission here
Thursday.
The delegation will ask imme-
date improvement of Route 234, a
secondary road connecting Manas-
sas with Dumfries on the Rich
mond-WaShington Highway, as
the initial step in designation Of
the proposed Battlefield Trail.
improvement of this road, being
sponsored by the Battlefield Trail
Association, also would afford tour
lists short cut to the Valley Of
Virginia as we'll as to the dairy
section of this northern part OF
the State and would put residents
of the area in closer contact with
central and eastern parts of Vir-
ginia.
Tourists now must travel a
roundabout route over No. High
way to Alexandria to get to Sky
line Drive and the North Valley
section from central and eastern
parts of the State.
The project also would call for
improvement of a highway north
of Manassas through Herndon and
on to the Maryland line, to con-
meet with the present route
through Frederick to Gettysburg.
Previously, the Virginia High
way Commission has held that the
road does not justify the histori-
cal significance its name would
suggest, and that traffic is not suf-
ficient to call for expenditure OF
the large sums of money necessary
for the project.

Countering this, William Green
