Wednesday, May 29, 196 ijii JT i MODERN ROAD PAVER This modern concrete paver is a considerable Improve' ment over old methods of road building when horse-drawn fresnos and similar equip ment were contracted for use by the Oregon State Highway Department. The paver mixes its own concrete as it travels along Interstate 5 in Southern Oregon. A large bucket runs along the boom to dump concrete into the forms. The tall stack, called a "skip," is lowered to the ground to receive truckloads of cement and aggregate and then returns to a vertical position to feed the mixer. Other equipment operated by the State Highway Department went on display at the local offices of the department yesterday in observance of National Highway Week, which started last Monday and ends Saturday.

It is also the largest construction job in Oregon's his-i tory. Take the Panama Canal, the Grand Coulee Dam, and the St Lawrence Seaway, combine them into one gigantic construction project, then multiply it 35 times. This is the equivalent of the huge roadbuilduig program now sched uled under the Interstate System. Aggregates sand, gravel, crushed stone and slag needed for the Interstate System alone would supply material to build a wail SO feet wide and nine leet high completely around the world at the equator. The Portland cement concrete that will be used in the Interstate System would build more than SO monoliths the size of Hoover! Dani. That much concrete would provide six sidewalks to the moon.

Total excavation for the Inter state System calls lor moving enough material to bury the whole state of Connecticut knee-! deep in dirt Scraped up on one colossal pile, it would have a volume of 1J cubic miles. The bridges on the Interstate System, in aggregate, will be long enough to span the Rio Grande River lenethwise. There will be nearly 50.000 of them, two thirds for railroads and highway stream crossings, and frontage! roads. The rest will be struc tures at highway interchanges. which will average about four miles apart. The steel required for the In Icrslate System will take about 30 million tons of iron ore. IS! million tons of coal, and S'j mil lion tons of limestone. The total steel requirements are almost twice the annual steel consump-j tion of the automotive industry. The structural steel alone quired for the Interstate System would be enough to build 170 skyscrapers the size of the Em pire State Building. Reinforcing steel needed would provide 16 rail road tracks across the United Slates. Form lumber and timber piling required for the Interstate System would take all of the trees in a forest of more than 400 square! miles. The timber piling, laid end to end. would reach from Seattle to Buenos Aires and back again. Enough culvert and drain pipe will be needed fur the Inter state System to equal combined water and sewer main systems of six cities the size of Chicago. The petroleum products to run the army of roadbuilding ma chinery used in Interstate System construction alone would provide a million automobiles with a six- Near supply of gasoline, oil, and lubricants. ; Commiuiitij ; ; (Calendar THl'HSl'AY FAREWELL DINNER. 5:30 p.m., lor Mack and Marie Jones, First Baptist Church.
