-Ape Cake-
Roland Winbeckler, chief decorator for a bakery in suburban Kent, daubbed frosting on a 6-foot, 4-inch gorilla made of banana cake and butter-cream icing. The ape will go on display at a Tacoma firm's private zoo. The 30-year-old Winbeckler has carved all sorts of animals and people out of cake and hopes someday to do something "outrageous" like a life-size Empire State Building or busy street scene.

--Freeway Model Displayed--
A 40-foot model of the Tacoma Freeway as it will appear when completed in several years is being displayed this month on the second floor of the county-City Building. Picture shows freeway running east to and over the Puyallup River. G. M. Schuster, city public works director, front right, points to state approach to city's projected Yakima Avenue Bridge. Under his arm are Delin Avenue and Tacoma Avenue undercrossings. Behind Schuster are Harold A. Hagestad, left, coordinating engineer between Tacoma and state, and Myron Calkins, city engineer. They are pointing to the complex of crossings and approaches that will be the Pacific Avenue Interchange, designed to relieve Freeway of Cross-town traffic congestion.
