GLENWOOD AVE.
ROUTE OPENED
Police Report No Driving In
cidents During First Week
end Open
TRAFFIC SIGNS CHANGED

Town police and state police re-
port that there were no driving
incidents during the first weekend
after the opening of the Glenwood
Avenue route on Friday afternoon.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge traffic be-
gan moving over the new route,
which by-passes Commerce and
Mount Vernon Streets in Smyrna,
and state police were stationed at
the intersection of the Clayton
Road and Glenwood Avenue during
the transition. Stop signs have
been erected there, but it is con-
sidered a potentially hazardous in
tersection until local drivers get
used to the fact that the Clayton
Road is no longer through route.
The Clayton Road is a much-used
route, into Maryland as well as to
the town of Clayton. A stop sign
is also erected where Main Street
crosses Glenwood Aenvue, and a
traffic light has been placed on the
DUPONT Parkway, Route 13. The
avenue has a roadway A feet from
curb to curb and greatly lessons
driving time by avoiding down
town Smyrna. 1t is located at the
extreme northern edge of town.
Building Avtivity
There are signs of building ac'
tivity, with housing development
started, filling station now serv'
ing the driving public, and an inr
has been erected, with plans for
motor court. The plants of Wilson
Refrigeration Co., Inc, and Seng'
er Transportation Company nov
face the new highway. William E
Matthews, Jr., former mayor Of
Smyrna, happened to be the first
person to drive over the road east
to west when the barricades were
removed at 1:45 pm. Friday. The
first eastbound cars were from
Maryland and New York State
With the removal of all truck traf'
fic from Commerce and Mount
Vernon Streets the parking ant
driving problems in town are les
sened, and shoppers will find driv
ing conditions in the town mucl
improved. Residents of the twt
streets have long looked forward
to the removal of the heavy trucl
traffic. The State Highway De
partment workers were putting
the finishing touches to the stree
as it was opened and all side stree
entrances have been surface treat
ed.

BAZAAR.

mrs. M. c. T., HyattSUille)
In my home State I had
charge many times of our par
ish bazaar. At our first meet
ing in May, we would plan to
notify each member to be pres
ent at the last May meeting.
. At that meeting we would
form bands of 10. Each band
would pledge themselves to
raise $500. At the first Sept
.tember meeting we would have
a bolt of pilloWcase tubing.
Volunteers were asked to take
home as many cases as they
felt they could have completed
by November l. Our bazaar
was usually the second week
in November. The members
stamped the cases or hem
stitched with a crochet edge.
We bought bright colored cloth
by the yard. We made break
fast sets of 6. un the stores
four are the usual number in
the sets). The pieces were
hemmed or fringed.
Some older members would
raise house plants. In the fall
they would paint cans (soup or
fish green, then dobe with a
small sponge, another color.
We could get IS cents to a
dollar for these.
Another plan, to make quilt
blocks, by individual members.
Later put them together. In
our city we could get them ma
chine Sewed in a fancy design.
We would sell chances on
them.
We found getting smaller
groups together in their own
houses, brought the members
closer together.
Wishing you all kinds of
success and thanks to RICH for
the kindness in helping busy
women to complete their plans.
