Delaware was running at s6S.35 in

house. is mainly matter Of
personal taste. BY visiting
model apartments and model
rooms set up in the stores you
can get a good idea of the kind
of surroundings in which you
feel most comfortable.
Generally speaking. we feel
that functional modern or clas-
sic modern is somewhat easier to
int into the limits Of an apart
ment than are some other styles.
This is because Of their clean
lines. relatively small size and
Iflexibility.
Other styles can be used sue
cessfully. In most apartments,
however, the informal styles
such as early American or coun-I
try French provincial--are easier
to use than the more formal
lstyles-such as Victorian or city
French provincial.
! Whatever style you select, you
probably would benefit from
spending at least a day or two
planning on how you want your
apartment to look when you are
completed.
I Make a scale drawing of the
floor plan of the apartment and
cut out paper on the same scale
to represent the size and shape
of furniture pieces.
When the entire apartment is
set up on paper. you can easily
decide what furnishings to get
right away, which ones to buy
later, and in what order of pri-
lority you want to complete fur

kind of planning eliminates
many of the headaches and
lheartaches some people expe-
Irience in decorating their first

ENTERTAINING
IDEAS

ENTERTAINING IDEAS -
When are the best times to en-
terrain in an apartment?
Everyone is welcome to a vote
on this subject, but it seems tt
us that the best time is during
months when topcoats are moi
worn and when temperatures are
not sitting.
That makes spring and early
fall ideal times for having friends
in ana for discharging social
obligations.
4 Ideas for successful and easy
on-the-hostess apartment parties
include:
A dessert party: Invite friends
over for dessert and an evening
of fun, In this way you avoid
the work Of preparing a full
meal and still gain many OF
the advantages of formal enter
tanning. BY concentrating on
the fanciest dessert you can
make, you can really make a hit
with the crowd,
Progressive dinner: This in.
wolves the cooperation of every
one who will attend the party
Before the party, get together
map out a route. and decide
which person will have the APP
petizers, the soup. the mair
courses. the dessert. and where
you will gather after dinner.
AS the party progresses, the
couple responsible for the frs
course Joins the crowd as they

The decisions our highway
engineers make will play a
vast role in shaping the fu-
ture of America for not only
must they plan for the needs
of existing communities, but
for communities as yet un-
born which will result from
these new highways.
Pavements and bridges
must be strong enough now
to carry the increased vol
umes and the types and
weights Of vehicles that, will
use them in the year 1875.
To build all roads to the
highest standards would be
prohibitively costly. But to
"under-design" a heavy duty
highway is even more waste
full. '.'a' .''
Thus the responsibility
resting upon the shoulders of
the state highway engineer
and the difficulty of his fore
casting job are enormous.
Highways Don't "Happen'
In early America, the first
roads often followed Indian
paths through the forests, or
even routes favored by buffa-
10.
Today's major highways
are not left to such chance.
Once traffic studies and fore
casts have shown the needs,
the actual routes of the new
highways are determined by
the most advanced engineer
ing skill.
Selecting the route begins
with a survey Of the land
which the new highway will
cross. To determine the most
pr a c t tic al and economical
route, the engineer must con-
slider the contour and geology
of the land, the flow of wa
ter, and even such seemingly
remote matters as the angle
at which the winter sun will
shine on the snowy slope of
a hill.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-10-09
This is where aerial pho

Biography comes in: - Ma
ny highways are now de-
signed on the basis of
three-dimensional aerial
photographs which form an
extremely accurate topo-
graphical map.
Other engineers armed with
boring drills, seismographs,
and instruments for chemi-
cal analysis gather data on
the soil.
T h e Surveyors determine
whether the ground will be
firm enough to withstand the
anticipated load of traffic.
They also plan how "cuts" -
areas where earth is moved
= can be most economically
balanced with fills - Sec
tions where earth must be
added - to minimize earth
moving.
Ready To Design Road
Now they are ready to de-
sign the new highway.
1t may take many months
to reduce the surveyors in
tricate findings to scaled blue
prints and accurate cost esti-
mates. On the New York
Thruway, for instance, an
eight-mile stretch required a
plan book containing 1000
separate maps.
An important step remains
- acquisition of the right-of-
way. Today's superhighways
are built on a strip of land
often more than 300 feet
wide. To obtain this much
land is seldom an easy, and
sometimes a very time-con-
suming task.
It becomes even more diff
ficult and expensive when -
in the case of a city express
way - buildings have to be
moved or wrecked and fami-
lies relocated.

Looking at The Nat1 13.Year Roadbui|ding Program .
How A us. Highway Is Built

CHICAGO - The huge 49,
year national highway pro-
gram now shifting into high
gear over the country will
give many millions of Amer
leans their opportunity to be
superintendents at
one of the greatest shows on
earth - modern, mechanical
roadbuilding on a large scale.
To those who consider
roadbuilding prosaic, a word
of caution is in order. Child
hood remembrances no long
er apply.
Highway design and con-
struction today are as diff
ferent from that of the
192O's - our last big high
bodybuilding era - as 1857
model cars are different
from the Model A.
From a cut-and-fill opera
ton involving mostly manual
labor, roadbuilding has pro-
gressed into one of the most
complex of modern business
es, involving such varied skills
as aerial photogrammetry
and soils chemistry, and such
specialized tools as electron-
ic computers, diamond-tipped
saws and two-Way radios.
Series Of Surprises
The path for a modern
road may be cleared by a ma
chine capable of removing
eight truck loads Of earth in
one huge bite.
The most modern of to-
days highways are built by
paving "trains" of ingenious
, machines which actually move
on rails, mixing, depositing
spreading and leveling the
concrete pavement.
Even the concrete itself
is different, containing lit
orally billions of microsco-
pic air bubbles in every
yard.
These are some of the sur
prises which greet the road
side superintendent behin'
the barricades. But, engineer
point out, such a casua
visitor sees only the fina
phase of roadbuilding.
Planning and design of tn
highway started many year
before.
Who's Going Where?
The job of planning an In
terstate System highway i
staggering.
State highway department
are determining right nov
how many vehicles, of wha
type, will be travelling be
tween various cities, and b.
what routes, at various hour
of the day in the year 1875.
This is not to guide ther
lin building tomorrow's high
ways, but today's.
BY law, highways now be
ing built on the Al, ,0OO-mil
National System of Inter
state and Defense Highway
must be designed and built t
carry the traffic of 18 year
from now.
This means land pur-
chased now must be wide
enough to accommodate
the number of lanes re-
quired for future volumes
of traffic. The road must
be located where it will be
most needed in 1875 and

and shape the terrain along
the right-of-way. They rip
off sod and top soil, shave off
high ground and fill in the
low areas.
One of these giant scra-
perS can move as much
earth as a thousand men
with Wheelbarrows.
Next come machines which
cut roadside bitches or tren-
ches for drainage pipe. Good
drainage is essential on any
road. Unless the soil under
the pavement is kept dry, it
loses its ability to support the
pavement.
simultaneously with the
installation of drainage pipe,
work is begun on other struc-
lures such as bridges and
culverts.
Exit - Earth Movers
! After the right-of-way has
been cleared and drainage ia
cilities installed, the earth
movers pull out.
They leave the roadway a
few inches below grade, rea-
dy for placing the pavement.
This "subgrade" is compacted
tightly by giant rollers to pre-
vent future settlement,
Next, a four to six-inch
thick layer of granular ma
terial sand, gravel or
crushed rock - is deposited
on the subgrade to keep the
foundation we'll drained and
free of frost.
This material is trimmed
by a grader" to a precise
tolerance of about 1/16th
of an inch.
Meanwhile, crews h a We

also serve as rails for the
