The soil-cement process utilizes

ore native to the area where

road is under construction as one of the main ingredients of the pavement.

During the last summer, the pavement was used in stretches of highway in Cumberland, Shel- burne, Hants, and Digby counties.

“If this process is satisfactory it. will be an economical means toward the departments long- range plan of giving the second- ary highways of the province a hard, dust - free surface sooner than could otherwise be . ex- pected,” Highways Minister

Prosecution demands' for death sentences for two were rejected. Death was not asked for the other.

In Havana, Rafael del Pino, 33, a Cuban-born U.S: citizen whose home is in Miami, was sentenced to 30 years. g

Del Pino was captured last

™ | July when he landed a light plane

on«a highway near Havana. He was accused of trying to help anti-Castro Cubans flee the coun- try.

The prosecution asked the death sentence but the court in Ha vana’s La Cabana fortress said that despite the gravity of charges against himedel Pino had not caused any loss of life and therefore was given the prison sentence.

In Pinar del Rio, a two-man military tribunal spared from the firing squad Frank Austin Young, 38, also of Miami. He was. sen- tenced to 30 years.

His London - born American companion, Peter John Lambton, 24,-was given 25 years. The pros- ecution had demanded a 30-year sentence.

The court in Pinar del Rio also turned down the demand for a death sentence for Fernando Pruna Bertot, 24. a dapper Cuban underground worker who once at- tended Columbia University. He was ordered to prison for 30 years.

Seventeen other Cubans were given sentences ranging from two to 25 years and 18 were acquitted,
