BRIDGEPORT SUNDAY POST, A A 6, 1963 Town, Lot Owner Work On Parking Area Terms BETHEL--The monthly report from Ih- office of First Selectman DaviO VV. Deakin points out that negotiations are being worked out between the town of Bethel and the owner of the lot at Greenwood avenue and Rector street, to effect a lease agreement for a parking area for use by the general public. The Board of Selectmen been given an authorization by the Board of Finance to expend a sum not exceeding $150 tc make the lot usable for municipal parking and also to provide the necessary insurance coverage on behalf of the town. Weather conditions will determine the length of time needed in preparing the area. The work will be done by the Town Highway department.

A number of tree stumps hav been eliminated on Rector street as well as one very large stump in the center of the proposed parking lot. The selectmen praised Bethel, tree warden Bernard Wright and Danbury tree warden Byron Johnson for cooperating so willingly in the stump removal work. Early in December a request was made to officials of the Con necticut Light and Power com pany lo apply permanent patch on alt excavations made in the area of Grand street, and in most cases the request has been complied with where possible before the weather forced a halt to this work. All remaining excavations will be finished in early spring, Mr. Deakin reports.

Inspection of Vining road in the Stone Gate park subdivision has been completed by Town Engineer John Green, and all but minor shaping and gutter work remains to be completed. The selectmen's office received a letter from Robert M. Williston, chief traffic, State Highway department, slating that additional signing had been completed at the route eastbound turn, adjacent to 1-84. The signing designates availability of food, fuel and lodging along route 6 in Stony Hill district. During the month meetings were held with the auditors of the town, Ellis Tarlton, water department consultant; John Green, consulting engineer; the Sewer Authority, the Board of Finance, State Highway department representatives, and a street lighting representative from the Connecticut Light and Power company.

Tree Sale Disappointing Robert Menegay, publicity of the Bethel Junior Chamber of Commerce, reports that despite a disappointing outcome lo the Christmas tree sale sponsored by the Jaycees, the organization would sponsor a similar sale next year. Mr. Menegay said that as many as one hundred of the more than three hundred trees offered for sale remained unsold. He attributed this to the fact the trees were not of very good quality. He said that the Jaycees had been displeased with its supply in 1961 and made arrangements this year to have them individually cut in Vermont.

Even so, he said, the quality was inferior to last year's supply. Wayne Albert, sale chairman, has arranged to have the left- trees to an area farmer who plans to use them for mulch. When asked it he thought the increased use of artificial trees had had anything to do with poor sales, Mr. Menegay answered that he did not think so. He said that as a telephone worker he enters many homes, and he had not observed fewer natural trees than usual.

Mr. Menegny pointed out that there was an additional competitor in Bethel this year. He said that, despite the disappointing results, the Jaycees did earn a little money but not enough to make the project worthwhile. Women's Guild to Elect The annual meeting of the Women's Guild of the Bethel First Congregational church will be held at the church vestry tomorrow at 7:45 p.m. Election of officers will take place.

Mead jr 10 Reservoir street, have come up with a very novel idea, in the nature of a New Year's tree. The couple, who decided it would be nice to celebrate the New Year with a tree to represent new hope for a belter new year, now have a New Years tree as well as the traditional Christmas tree in their home. Mr. Mead describes the tree as a green fir, decorated with silk American Hags and an American eagle on the top. It also has balls lo represent lemons, limes and oranges.

He said the tree was erected lo honor our country. Mr. and Mrs. Mead have two children, Karl, 15 months old, and Kristel, three weeks, both too young to understand the significance of the project. They have a white and silver Christmas tree, which will probably be dismantled this weekend.

Dorothy London Hoping Discovery Real This Time By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK, (AP)-- Dorothy Loudon, newest member of the Gary Moore show family, has been discovered more times than she's been vaccinated. The brunette comedienne and singer fervently hopes it will take this lime. The first discovery 1 was in the early 1950s when she was doing some straight singing--popular songs--on radio and making a dreary living singing and playing the piano in an assortment of cocktail lounges. Julius Monk was auditioning acts for the famed Ruban Bleu night club, and Dorothy turned up among the iopefuls.

"I sang My Man," she recalls with a wince. "And he laughed at everything I did, although 1 being funny. Then he told me I was a fool not to try comedy--so I did." THAT SUCCESSFUL engagement led to another, at the Blue Angel, another nightclub noted uncovering fresh, new talent. Dorothy was on her way, having become a favorite with that special group of people who go small, intimate nightclubs-the sophisticates and pseudo- sophisticates. She was discovered igain when she worked in an act with Ray Bolger at one of the huge hotel- nightclubs in Las Vegas.

This exposure led to a guest shot on a Dinah Shore show and a spot on a TV panel show, which (in spite of the luminous names of the other regulars-Shelly Herman, Dick Van Dyke, Vlike Nichols and Elaine May) lasted exactly nine weeks. DOROTHY LOUDEN ED SULLIVAN signed her for guest shot--which proved the most unpleasant discovery of the lot. "I was just awful," she reflected. "I was using somebody else's material for the first time. I'd always done my own material but I had this written for me and it wasn't right.

And then at the last minute, Ed couldn't do a final three minute spot with me and I had to get through somehow--alone. It was terrible." But then, somehow, she was signed by Sidney Lumet for a Broadway musical, "Nowhere To Go But Up," the greatest thing that can happen to a performer. The show, with Dorothy featured, opend--and closed in a week. But although the show was bombed by the critics, Dorthy's talents were praised. "That is a dreadful thing for a performer to go through," she said.

"But just when I was feeling worse, Garry Moore asked me to go on his show. And just in time, because it has been a pretty rough time and I was losing what small confidence I had in It turned out, incirten'ally, that the prime reason for Moore's In terest was that awful night on the Ed Sullivan show. "I guess he saw what a mess I was in but just kept going ahead anyway," she reflected. TURN-ABOUT seems fair play. Dorothy is following Carol Burnett in the Garry Moore show.

Carol followed Dorothy into the Blue Angel. "Some people arc comparing Carol and my work," she said "and a few think we were some what alike. Actually, we don't work in the same way at all. Carol's comedy is more physical than mine. And I think she sing better." Dorothy's special comedy forte Is the disastrous disintegration of a dignified situation.

She'll start lo sing a song, and somethin wrong; she tries for a dignl- ied exit and trips. "That started as a safety fac- or," she explained. "In the clubs, you could experiment with he audiences. You could begin jeing a little funny and if they went along with it, you could move deeper into comedy. But il hey didn't go with you, you could keep it straight and jusl sing the songs and escape somehow." DOROTHY IS A BOSTON girl vho grew up in Claremont, New Hampshire, where her father ives today.

From the time she was a child she was fascinated ly the stage, influenced by grandmother, who taught Engish, speech and dramatics at a New England girls' seminary. She won a scholarship to Syracuse university but only stayed LWO ye because she wante more dramatics courses. Thei came a period in a New York city dramatics school--and, even tually, recourse to singing anc 3iano playing while awaiting thai big serious dramatic part. She lives--alone--in an F.as Jidc, Manhattan, apartment. Anc las recently switched furniture laste from early American tc French provincial.

Cooking is hei main hobby. And right now, with all the glowing fan mail pouring she figures she's the happiest luckiest girl in the world. "But I'm trying not to think about it," she said. "I'm just go ing on, day by day, pretending Ihings are the same as usual, i suppose that's because things have been so tough so often b( fore." SITE PREPARED IN BETHEL FOR SEWAGE PUNT BETHEL Work has been tarted at the new sewage treatment plants site on Paul street, 'he properly which is swampy, is King filled and staked out for urther development marking the irst step towards the city's planed S3 million sewer system.

Is there a difference between a bihlioma- nlst and a bibliophile? N.H.

A. A bibliomanist is one who has a passion for acquiring and possessing rare or curious books. A bibliophile is a lover of books. Unlike the bibliophile, the true bibliomanist is guided in the purchase of books less by the value of their content than by certain circumstances attending them-such as date of publication, famous past owners, significant errors in printing, etc. on which a monk did his writing or illuminating.

Carrels are used for reading and studying in libraries today. ACANTHUS: Q. Why are there so many styles of sculptured acanthus leaves in ornamental architecture? J.O'B. A. The acanthus is the most popular of all the ornamental designs which have been borrowed from plants, and since its introduction by the Greeks it has been used in many nations and in many realistic and conventionalized forms.

There are numerous varieties of acanthus, all with beautifully notched or loothec leaves which differ somewhat in shape. In the past, the treatment of the margin and shape of the leaf was the chief characteristic of different styles, such as Roman, Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance. Modern ornamentation of this type may he based on any of these styles or variations of them. Use This Coupon The Bridgeport Sunday Post Information Bureau S35 N. W.
