New Recipe Is Hunted For Contest DETROIT, Nov. 10 (P) "Mrs. Michigan," suburban Redford township's Lila Masson, will have her first plane trip and her first view of Florida Monday when she heads for Fort Lauderdale and the "Mrs.

America" finals. The attractive 39-year-old mother of three will be unable to share Thanksgiving Day dinner at home with the Masson children, Diane, 17, Tom, 12, and Dave, 9. Instead, she will don a sequinball gown that night to bodicede with contestants from the 49 other states and the District of Columbia in the finals in the Fort Lauderdale auditorium. During her two weeks in Florida-her 1 husband, Cleve, will accompany her-Mrs. Masson will be wrapped up in parties, sightseeing, TV press interviews and endless, meetnerve ings with contest judges.

COOK AND BAKE She'll cook and bake, style her hair and meet many an unexpected challenge to convince the judges of her homemaking talents, poise and personality. One of biggest challenges Mrs. Masson faces is the problem of finding a new recipe to enter in the cooking phase of the "Mrs. America" contest. Her chicken in wine sauce with almonds, which she credits for winning her the top homemaker title for Michigan, won't do.

CAN'T BE DONE "I've just found out my chicken will have to be cooked on top of the stove while my banana cake is in the oven," Mrs. Masson explained, "and it can't be made that "To matters worse," Mrs. walike Masson said, "the recipe i is supposed to go in a picnic basket, and who ever heard of that kind of chicken at a picnic?" Right now Mrs. Masson is poring over recipe books trying to find a mouth-watering substitute that will please the palates of the judges at Fort Lauderdale as much as her chicken pleased the "Mrs. Michigan" judges here.

But, with the assurance and poise that won her top honors in her home state, Mrs. Masson confided: "I'll probably decide on a chicken fruit salad, and then added, "I'll think of something to do to it." It is the greatest amount of new freeway a added to Michigan's angle network of superhighways in single day. The previous record freeway "opening day" was on Dec. 7, 1959, when 38 miles of I-94 was opened to traffic. A 17.5-mile section from Houghton lake to Grayling will be opened to traffic next and the entire route between Lansing and the Mackinac bridge will be completed by the end of next year.

Hill also predicted the new freeway will "act like a magnet" to attract additional thousands of tourists to northern Michigan. "Many people, I know, are taking the wait-and-see attitude when we say this freeway will encourage, people do to more take things," more trips Hill said. "But this freeway already has been adjudged one of the most beautiful roads in the nation by a national publication. Its fame is bound to spread." Speaking of safety, Hill said the highway department's latest comparisons freeways have 71.2 percent fewer accidents and 74.8 percent fewer casualties than the roads they replace. Casualties include both injuries and fatalities.

The study, Hill said, was made on 128 miles of freeway compared to 126 miles of highways they replaced. "During 1960, 274 accidents occurred between here and Grayling, a distance of 75 miles," Hill said. "The worst section was between Mt. Pleasant and Clare where 108 accidents occurred. "On the basis of our past experience, I would say that between 60 and 70 accidents will occur between Mt.

Pleasant and Grayling next year. In other words, more than 200 accidents that might have happened, won't happen. "The price of these 200 accidents in money and lives would more than pay for the $45 million highway we are dedicating today," he concluded.

EADIE ect (Midland Daily News) 80 MIDLAND, Nov. 8 (P)-They say faith can move mountains. Well, faith can build them, too, and John Bintz, Saginaw county fruit farmer and businessman, can prove it.

With faith in the future, willingness to gamble on a daring enterprise, lots of hope and lots of hard work, Bintz is building a complete ski resort on the flatlands of Saginaw county.

It is a well known outing spot for tri-county families and has attracted up to 5,000 persons on a weekend this fall. The addition known as the Bintz Apple Mountain Ski Resort will provide year-round business income for the Bintz family and 5,35 the employes. 30-year-old Bintz it, he started with nothing-nothing.

that is, except an idea. The seed of an idea has now bloomed into a hill more than 80 feet high, a ski run which will ultimately be 900 feet long and complete lodge which when finished will compare with Michigan's best. Work on the ski resort began on Dec. 9, 1960 following the acquisition of heavy earth moving equipment and a crew led by Leroy Graham, who lives on a nearby farm. It is going to be a two year proj- Accident Death List FLINT.

ROYAL OAK TOWNSHIP, Nov. 10 (P-William Ware, 45, resigned last night as chief of this Detroit suburb's police department. Ware's resignation as of Dec. 29 was accepted unanimously by the seven-member township board. Ware was fired twice during investigation of Goodfellow fund thefts in 1959.

He was reinstated after his justice court conviction was set aside in Oakland county circuit court. The police chiefs of nearby Ferndale and Royal Oak complained in September that Ware shirked his duty by failing to respond to a hazardous call and did not show up until the call was handled by their officers. Ware, who earned $4,800 as head of the six-man department, lost a $500,000 libel suit against Time magazine earlier this month. Ware contended the magazine's story about the Goodfellow investigation libeled him. A U.

S. district court jury ruled against him. the Goodfellow fund case, Ware was accused of withholding money collected for undeprivileged children in the Christmasseason sale of Goodfellow newspapers.

If you observed them all consecutively, it would take 18 years, three months, two weeks and six days.
