Concrete pavement means the end of spring break-up ilia —frost boils, mud and ruts. Seasonal load restrictions, dust and the inconvenience of constant road tinkering can be forgotten. Concrete stands up under all legal loads in all weather. It permits speed with safety. It cuts driring costs to motorists. It reduces road maintenance costs.

"JES' HOL’ IT NATCHEL, SONNYT "DISCOVERING" UNCLE NATCHEL One day back in 19S4, an artist, driving leisurely along s' country road in the deep South, heard the sound £f banjo music floating toward him through the trees. He left his car and followed the sad-sweet strains until he found a clearing in the forest where, on a little cabin porch, sat an old darky, a red-headed boy of twelve, and a dog—in the middle of\a music lesson! All unseen, the artist set up his easel and soon, upon the canvas, appeared the boy, all thumbs, his face screwed up in earnest effort, manfully struggling with tige stringed instrument; the dog looking on in painful apprehension; the old man patiently urging; ■Jes’ nol - it natchel, Sonny-thataway, natchel!" This beautiful painting by Hy Hintermeister was fea- tured on the 1935 Uncle Natchel calendar, and introduced to a million people the familiar figure of “Uncle Natchel*. the kindly old man who has appeared ever since as the symbol of Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda. Uncle Natchel is really a rare and lovable character. Grown old in the employ of Sonny's family, he is known to everyone for miles around for his inexhaustible supply of stories about the wonders of Nature and his belief that the best way to do anything is the “Natchel" way. And that, of course, is how he got his name. CHILIAN MITWATI of »OPA Read The Chronicle-Your Neighbor Poe*
