p. Paved roads save energy, AHD declares LITTLE ROCK The Increase in the number of paved roads in Arkansas since 1957 has resulted in an average savings of 43 gallons of fuel per vehicle, per year. This is almost a $4 per year i saving to the road user oer vehicle, according to figures compiled by the Arkansas State Highway and Trans-portation Department In 1957, Arkansas averaged just over 31 percent of theirs driving on unimproved gravel roads. In 1967 this figure was down to nearly 26 percent By $: 1976, (the last year for which ijij complete figures are available) the average Arkansas motorist traveled just under 18 percent of his time on gravel roads. If the 1976 driving had been 31 percent on unpaved roads, as it was in 1957, the estimated ijij i fuel consumption would have i been 864 gallons, for an i average 12.4 miles per gallon and an average gasoline tax i of $73.44.

Because of more improved roads in 1976, I motorists consumed 821 ji gallons of fuel and averaged 13.1 miles per gallon. The I average fuel tax per vehicle was $69.79, a net savings of i $3.65 per vehicle, If the precent of travel on unpaved roads could have ji; i been reduced to 10 percent in -ji 1 1976, (by paving more roads) the fuel consumption could i have been reduced to 795 ij gallons per vehicle. This i would have increased the miles per gallon to 13.5 and the fuel tax would have been i $67.57.

The announcement was made by Bob Sykes, a Hot Springs businessman and president of Hot Springs Theme Park, Inc. at the Magic Springs site. Sykes said, "We are ex-' tremely pleased to be making this announcement. The, Hot Springs area, as.

well as the state, has been awaiting the time this theme park would become reality. A lot of -people's hopes are being fulfilled now." Magic Springs is located just east of Hot Springs on U.S. Highway 70, just minutes from Interstate 30. "The park is designed for, the fun and enjoyment of the entire Sykes said.

The ride was originally used in Belgium and has also seen duty at the 1964 New York's World Fair and Six Flags over 'Texas. The Sky Hook lifts passengers in two large cages to a height of 179 feet. From there passengers will be able to look into downtown Hot Springs as well as the surrounding countryside.

Magic Springs also offers fun rides for youngsters. A mini-scrambler called The Pix-E-Mix heads the list. There is also a Cycle Jump Children's Car Ride, a Carousel and The Butterfly Swing.

Specialty food shops like a Candy Shop, Funnel Cake Shop and Ice Cream Shop are more than just food establishments; they are major attractions themselves. Michael Jenkins, president of Leisure and Recreation Concepts of Dallas, the company designing and managing Magic Springs, "Magic Springs is surprisingly different from any other large amusement park in the It is designed exclusively for its Hot Springs location." Jenkins, who has worked in developing some of the major theme parks in the world, including the Six Flags chain, said, "I've not worked with a more energetic, excited and cooperative, group than the people from Hot Springs and Arkansas. They truly wanted to establish a high quality amusement park in this area and their effort alone has caused it to become a reality." Magic Springs is divided into three sections The first, called "County Fair," will feature a replica of the original "hot springs" for which the city was named, the Big Eli Wheel, which is six stories high, a multi-media theatre presentation and other rides and exhibits.
