er, east of F rederica will enable
the Highway Department to pro-
ceed with the construction OF
the Frederick Bypass Route

survey parties will move into
the area and plans for the pro-
ject will be completed.
The Bypass Route will be a
divided highway located east of

to expedite traffic through the
r Frederlca area.
1t will start from the present
highway. just south of Barratt's
Chapel and proceed on a di-
rect line to the existing dual
highway, which extends south of
Frederica to Milford.
MIR. Miller said funds are
available for the project and
the completion of plans for this
new highway would be rushed as
rapidly as possible. 1t will be
a Federal-Aid project.
At the same time the Corps
of Engineers approved permit

kill River, along Route IA to
replace the existing drawbridge

MIR. Miller indicated that
plans for these TWO bridges are
being prepared by the Depart

the direction of Joseph M. Fox,
Bridge Engineer, and will pro-
bably be advertised for bids

cupy 20 acres of a ll5-acre
portion of Eden Hill Farm, just

E. Burke Ciblin, company

Dover was selected after con-
sideration had been given to
hundreds of possible locations
along the eastern seaboard.
''Dover meets our basic op-
Grating requirements most sat-
isfactorily," he stated. lit is
near ocean shipping for impor-
tation of raw materials, and is
centrally located in the large
eastern market for shipment
of our many products. Impor-
tantly, too, Dover offers at
tractive living conditions and
pleasant surroundings for our
employees"
Robert A. Stringer, opera
tions manager of the Jell-ODi-
vision, warmly praised state
and local officials for their
cooperation since the company
first announced that it was ac-
lively considering Dover as the
location for the new plant.
Governor Ebert Carvel,
Mayor Crawford Carroll and the
city council members, City
Manager Preston Ward, Cham
Der of Commerce President
George Cripps and scores of
other Delaware citizens have
been extremely helpful" he
stated. This spirit of friend
ly cooperation gives added as
surance that our decision to
build in Dover is a wise one,
We foresee a mutually plea
SAINT relationship with the en-
tire community and we pledge
to fulfill in every way our re-
sponsibilities as business
citizen and good neighbor."
George E. Marshall, who di-
rected the studies of the new
Jell-O facility and who has
spent much time in recent
months working with Dover Of
ficials and others, will shortly
be located here. MIR. Marshall
will be the General Foods man
ager in charge of all phases
of the project. He too express
sed gratitude for the assistance
rendered by Delaware and Do
yer officials, property owners,
businessmen and others.
''Day in and day out, over
a period of many weeks" he
said, these men have respon-
ded promptly to our requests
for a great variety of infor-
nation and have come forward
to aid us in working out the
many details that are neces-
sarily involved in a project

con held in The Sheraton
Park Hotel found New York's
finest-the Couture Group Of
designers-preSenting a pre-
view of summer along with
Spring fashions.
Sheraton-Ha was literal
ly packed to the rafters (the
overflow crowd filled the
balconies). Among the miss
ing from this Washington
civic fashion event, was the
First Lady who is in Palm
Beach. Mrs. Kennedy was the
Honorary Chairman of the
event. She sent an engraving
of the White House, however,
for a door prize.
She Beams
Mrs. Lyndon B. johnson
beamed with pleasure sit
ting at the head table, as the
Vice President escorted their
daughter, Lynda Bird down
the runway, during the pres
entation Of the Cherry Bios
som PrincesSeS representing
the various states and terri
tories.
Many distinguished mem
bers of Congress served as
escorts for a number Of the
Princesses. There were sew
eral father daughter COM
binations such as the Pas
torres of Rhode Island, the
Santangelos Of New York,
the Cunninghams Of Ne
braska, and the Jennings of
Virginia. The Congress
men arrived after hearing
President Goulart Of Brazil
address a joint meeting of
Congress.
They were introduced by
Mr.. and Mrs. Chet Huntley.
Mrs. Huntley, the former
Tippy Stringer of Weather
Girl fame in Washington, said
it was their first joint ap-
pearance before a micro
phone.
The show featuring New
York and Washington models,
was commented by the pro-
ducer, Eleanor Lambert.
Present in the audience
were a number Of the de-
S1gnerS whose clothes were
presented on the stage DOM
mated by a beautiful gazebo
through which the models
passed.
Among them were Adele
Simpson, Vincent Monte
Sano, Cell Chapman, Roxane

For the finale cherry bios

signed the setting.
The fashion show was d.
vided into groups Of clothes
playing up red, white and
blue black and white
earth, sun and sky tones
and an eye-catching group Of
colorful prints ranging from
tigers to paisleys, in the ia
bled silk fabrics Of the Orient.
An amusing sidelight Of
the show was the fact that
the hoSteSses were in tea
timers" whose fashion link is
much more Chinese than
Japanese.
Mrs. ASakai, wife of the
Japanese Ambassador, a cou-
pie of weeks ago delicately
refrained from being photo
graphed with the young So
cialites, preferring to have an
authentic JapaneSe style
shown instead.
Yesterday, when asked
about the hoSteSSes showing
up again in "tea-timerS," she
automatically said, Pretty
girls look pretty in anything"
Among the distinguished
guests at the head table, were
Mrs. Earl Warren, Mrs. Stew
art Lee Udall, Mrs. Orville

For the first time a Cherry
Blossom princess represented
Japan. She was Mariko Ko-
Saka, daughter of the Japa-
neSe Foreign Minister.
Split Timing
Split second timing on the
part of the committee, made
this show memorable in the
annals Of fashion show his
tory in Washington. 1t never
dragged.
Mrs. P. Edward Gavin was
general chairman for the
event, and Mrs. Samuel
Scrivener, jr., her vice chair
man.
Celebrity conscious Wash
ington women were delighted
to see so many noted New
York designers in the audi
ence. They in turn, we're i'm
pressed with Washington's
VIP's whom they read about
all the time.
Mrs. John S. Hayes, on
meeting Ben Reig, said I'm
delighted to meet the man
who designs those beautiful
suits I can't afford" Replied
Reig. that's the story of my
life, at least I had the good
sense to marry money"

these suggestions would prob
ably not be feasible.
Any kind of a bazaar would
be a good way to raise money.
You might ask each mem
Der Of the group to collect
from her friends all the old
books, in good condition, that
they no longer want. You
could then have a sale Of sec
ond hand books, and if
enough were sold. you might
make a nice profit.
ss A sale of home baked goods
would be popular. You could
sell not only cakes and
: cookies, but homemade pickle
and relishes. Here, as in the
book sale each member of the
organization could donate
her services by making the
. food.
A secondhand clothing
sale is another good idea or
"a white elephant sale.
I realize that for any of
these sales, you would need a
place in which to set up shop.
Perhaps you could use the

want to learn to cook.
So many of their married friends
display culinary talents CLEANED
from bridal cookbooks that a girl
who can't reciprocate with h r
own cooking feels left out.
One girl pleads for some recipes
that are inexpensive, keep tn e
kitchen clean, and can be cooked
in advance"
Here are some dishes that meet
these requirements:
