Today's aluminum utensils,

How To Be A Show Off
Kveryone has some prized
pieces of china jrlassware or sil
vcr they love to show off. Some
women collect delicate bone china
formal cups
jjLjA and saucers;
° th *™ have a
(JW «J« candelabra
f fetish or are
antique plate
fanciers; and
LL ' " there are those
for whom cut
crystal is the living end. What
ever little objets d'art you have
and want the world to see, a
lovely place to show them off to
In-lit advantage is a display cabi
net, break front, hutch or wall
niche.
To light up any one of these
adds visual interest to a room
and supplies some general illumi
nation. Several small incandes
cent bulbs are usually preferred
t> one or two higher wattage
bulbs. Since only the objects in
the display cabinet are to be seen,
the bulbs themselves must be
completely hidden from view.
Tiny low voltage incandescent
strips are available on • custom
basis for lighting individual
shelves They are attached to the
bottom edge of each shelf, are
completely shielded and produce
a low level glow on the objects on
display.
In cabinets with glass shelves
recessed incandescent fixtures
may be used over them because
the light is not blocked by
shelves. A Sylvania 75-watt re
flector bulb for every 18 inches
or a 50-watt reflector bulb for
every foot of display shelf makes
crystal and glassware glow with
an inner life. If a dark or richly
colored background is used in the
cabinet, the contrast increases
the drama while decreasing the
overall sensation of brightness

Funds Sought
For Bus System
In Burlington
BURLINGTON - Members of
the Bus Transit Committee here
will go before the Alamance
County board of commissioners
and the Burlington city council
this week in an effort to raise
$20,000 needed to start a bus
system in the area.
John W. Davis, chairman of
the committee, said he and
other committee members will
attend the commissioners'
meeting Monday and the city
council meeting Tuesday night
to request the needed funds on
a "one time only" basis.
"I feel that if we get the
money to begin operations we
won't need any additional money
from these sources. Once we
start running I believe the bus
system will be self-sufficient,"
he commented.
Mrs. Eunice Haith, a leader
of the citizens' movement, has
asked all bus riders and others
in'erested to meet at the
municipal building Tuesday at
7 p.m. to show support for the
committee's request. Mrs. Haith
said attendance at the city coun
cil meeting "may determine the
of their (the coun
cil's) actions."
Davis said $35,900 has been
raised so far. A total of $56,000
is needed for the bus system
to begin operations.
The word plant comes from
a Greek word meaning
"wandering."

Miami Hearings
Set to Probe
Cocaine Ring
WASHINGTON - A
smuggling and distribution ring
that uses women to bring in 50
to 70 per cent of the U.S. co
caine traffic will be spotlighted
at congressional hearings in Mi
ami this week, investigators
say.
They say the ring is run by
Cuban refugees who once smug
gled cocaine through Havana
and has the scope of an organ
ized crime operation but has no
known Mafia connections.
The House Select Committee
on Crime hearing is scheduled
for Thursday. The committee
plans to hear testimony on Flor
ida's new law to fight infiltra
tion of legitimate businesses by
organized crime, and on Miami
law enforcement Friday, Satur
day and Monday.
"We expect to show that Mi
ami is now the major port of en
try for this dangerous drug,"
Chairman Claude Pepper, D-
Fla., said Saturday in a formal
announcement.
A member of Pepper's staff
said most of the smugglers are
women who bring cocaine into
Miami International Airport on
scheduled airlines from Nicara
gua and two other Latin Ameri
can countries where cocaine
production is legal. He didn't
name the two.

YES, VIRGINIA, that is a boat sailing over the highway. It's a
common sight on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Key seg
ments in the 17.6 mile-long superstructure, spanning the waters
between the Delmarva Peninsula and Virginia Beach, are two tun
nels that carry automobiles under the bay's shipping channels.
Standing on one of the four man-made islands, which anchor
the tunnels, this tiny traveler trains her sights on a passing freighter.
Two bridges and a trestled roadway high above water level com
plete the engineering wonder.
Temperate weather through the fall and winter makes the Bridge-
Tunnel route ideal for motorists driving north or south.
