ASPHALT STORY
FOR ROTAR|ANS
Source of Supply and Its
Many Uses Described at
Rotary Luncheon

An interesting talk on asphalt
was given by Joseph Slutzker, OF
the Barber Asphalt Company, at the
luncheon of the Rotary Club at she
New Packer House at Don today.
The different kinds of asphalt and
their uses were explained.
The two greatest sources of as
phalt are Oh the island of Trinidad
and in Venezuela, The Trinidad
lake Is considered practically mex
haustible. After digging for some
thirty-eight years the lake has been
lowered but about six inches. The
asphalt is dug out and loaded en-
ships and sent to America and Eng
land. During the time of transit the
asphalt runs together the same as IL
was when taken from the lake SO
that the process of unloading the
ships is the same as digging it from
the lake.
Asphalt was used in ancient times
In much the same manner that il Is
used today. The basket in which
Moses was 1oated in the bulrushes
was lined with asphalt; the ark in
which Noah took his famous voy-
age was coated with asphalt. AS
phait was also used to preserve the
mummies of ancient rulers. Today
much of the material in the automo-
bile tires is asphalt; it is used in
floor coverings and roofing, not to
mention the paving material.
The processes through which the
asphalt passes in order to prepare for
use In these different ways, were de-
scriked briefly. Mr.. Slutzker showed
a thorough mastery OF the subject
A~ -AAaAAtAI lie faANa - VIZ II
that added greatly to the knowledge
of all who heard him. 1t was n
of the most interesting and profit
able sessions the Rotary Club has
vet neid,
Prior to Mr.. Slutzker's talk, sew
erll of the Rotarians who are look
ing after some of the boys who have
been referred to them, reported on
the progress they were r;aking. Ro-
tary New Years resolutions were
read ty the. president.
