Queenstown-W Warwick Expressway
completed. motorists between
north and south will have a high
speed route bypassing Phila-
Idelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore

from the intersection of the Rit-
chic and Revell highways, about
four miles above Annapolis and
five miles from the west end of
the bay bridge, to the expressway
now being built west from Annap-
oils toward Washington.

bridge to carry it across the
Severn northwest Of Annapolis are
in place and ready for the steel
SuperStructure.
The expressway from Annapolis
toward Washington already is un-
der construction as far as Route

two cities. Nothing was said in

provided major improvements of
Route 30l from this point south
toward the States bridge across
the Potomac into Virginia. One
OF these is a bypass already COM
pleted around Upper Marlboro and
work is we'll along on making the
stretch between Brandywine and
the lower Prince Georges County
line into a dual highway.
The roads commission now pro-
poses to have under contract by
the end Of the year another ST.
mile extension Of the dual high
way from the county line south
to Waldorf and White Plains.
Mr.. Mccain pointed out that
this list encompassed only the
major work the commission hopes
to start before the end of the

CLUB MEMBERS
 MAKE TOUR OF
 JUNEAU GARDENS

The weather co-operated with the Juneau Garden Club by holding off the rain while the club mem bers made their annual tour oi local flower gardens Wednesday afternoon. Although it seems to be an in-hetween season at this time, the spring bulbs having passed their prime and the perennials being slowed up by the cold weather, many lovely spots of bloom were found.
 Particularly interesting were some new shrubs in the yard of Mrs. Henry Green, with indoor inspec- ton of her gorgeous African vio- lets and the most unusual tropical vine "hoya" with it's pink blossoms, waxy on the outside and velvety when fully opened; the display of tulips and flaming azalea in Mrs.
 Earle Hunters garden, the dwarf iris and native rock garden plants of Mrs. Harry Stonehouse; the new greenhouse and well-weeded peren- nial borders of Mrs. Charles For ward; the apple tree blooms and primroses of Mrs. Otto Benecke. The lateness of the hour prevented visits to the yards of other well known gardeners.
 Following the dessert luncheon served by the hostess, Mrs. Ver- non Harris, assisted by Mrs. J. M. Devinney, the regular business meeting was held with the presi-
 dent, Mrs. Ray Renshaw in the chair. Mrs. Maxcine Williams re-
 ported on the very successful plant
 sale recently held, and Mrs. Helen
 Hixson called attention to the |availability of extra yearhooks. Mrs. 1 Hixson also asked for volunteers to ltype in standardized form the gar- 'dening articles for the scrapbook.
