A heated drive-way?

Ih summertime it's to warm. to think of winter snow,
But an electrically-heated driveway can save lots of frustra-
tien when the cold weather comes,

Heated paving is not a new idea, But a combination
approach of puttine dovm the grid when paving 9 driveway
can save dollars.

Both asphalt and cemem can be heated, ‘Ihe electric

cables are embedded in the paving material by pouring it
over them,

No thermostats are needed, The amownt of snow deter-
‘mines when the cables are to be energized, This keeps the
wiring simple,

An off-on switch in the house is the only control you need,
