Mr. Tankersley paid special tri
bute to the unselfish service to the

the part of the Directors, who, ser
ving without pay, devote many
hours of their time each month to
co-op affairs. He cited the efficien
cy and loyalty of Flint Employees
as contributing to the success of
j (he cooperative, and thanked the
membership for its cooperation
and understanding during the past
year.
Judge Emeritus A. M. (Phil)

i director of the Institute of Com
| munity and Area Development, of
the University of Georgia, who
spoke of the continuing need for

Goes in fast. : ; outlasts any other low-cost pavement
Soil-cement is a real taxpayer’s bargain—usually up to 75% of the materials are
free! Any old broken-up road or native soil can be the main ingredient. It’s mixed
with Portland cement and water, rolled solid and covered with a bituminous topping.
Paving a mile or more a day with modern machines is not unusual. Soil-cement
pavement grows stronger year by year. Maintenance
costs stay low. Each year, thousands of miles of soil-cement
are built in the U.S. and Canada. Illustrated booklet,
