This road was used by the Nazis in invading The Netherlands and, also, by the Al- lies in driving the Nazis out. While other roads in Hol- land were worn out by the wear and tear of this military traffic, the rubber Amsterdam road is still in excellent condition. “Since the Amsterdam experiment, highway engineers in America have built highways out of a mixture of nat- | ural rubber and asphalt. Roads containing natural rubber powder have been laid in Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Canada | and Newfoundland. In these roads, the mixture of rubber! powder and asphalt has been varied so that the results | can be studied with varying specification. Car-stopping tests in Virginia indicate that cars stop much more quickly when brakes are applied on a rubber road, Some engineers feel that the rubber-asphalt mix has a tendency to resist the formation of surface ice. Rub- ber roads seem to come through extremes of warm weath- er and cold weather in better shape than other type roads. The effect of traffic shock and vibration is apparently re- duced materially. Rubber.road’ may point the way to saving both dol- lars and lives on the highways of this nation. Certainly, there will be great savings in maintaining this type high- way. Every citizen who has taken a long trip recently realizes that many triffic tie-ups are due to the necessity of repair work on the highways. We watch with interest the development of rubber roads as an answer to our maintenance problem, though inclined to minimize the life-saving quality of these roads. Experience in most states indicates that the large number of highway accidents are due principally to the man be- hind the wheel. This is the answer to saving lives on the highway. Anyone who reads The Citizen for a full year will | he better informed at the end of that period than before. The time to start your new Christmas Saving Plan, or old age saving plan is now; you will never get to it by planning it for a future date, ; It’s about time to try to remember those resolutions you made January Ist, 1951, if you can recall any of them, and make them again for 1952. If you want 1952 to be your biggest year, try a sys- tematic advertising program in The Citizen. Planned ad- vertising always pays off, and it’s available to all, at a fair and fixed price, in this country. _ SLICE OF HAM bToday In History }ious “John”, in Lindbergh have a tendency sive.

Blair of Key West, the Carnival Board of Governors announced to- day. The Carnival will be held at the Seaplane Base Hangar on February 14. 15 and 16, 1952. The winner of the puppy will be permitted to choose between a black, a blonde, or a parti- color puppy. The Blairs, who register their dogs under the kennel prefix, MerryLee, are well known in Key West, and throughout the nation because of their activities in behalf of the Cocker Spaniel. Mr. Blair is one of the Cocker Specialty judges in the coun- try. They have been breeding prize show stock for the past six years, and their black and white male, Cr. Gypsy Ladysman, finished the AKC requirements for designation as “Champion of Record” at Miami, last April. Although only two of the dogs are in Key West, they own six prize cockers This is the year that the Blairs have puppy for the Navy Carnival. Last year, it was one of the most popular displays at the carniva James Murphy, was Mlowed to select from two litters. He selected red and white male.
