STYROFOAl\f:@: chosen for "lifetime" flotation This boat slip, being built for Cassville's Campbell Point boat dock and recreational area near Shell Knob, Missouri, will soon be a permanent floating installation. As the level of Table Rock Lake rises from the damming of the White River, this 116-foot by 40-foot unit will float free of its supports. And rough planks of Styrofoam* were chosen to provide permanent flotation! Mr. Glenn Hall and Mr. Harry Wheeler, owners of the project, say, "These lightweight planks offer flotation superior to barrel-type structures. Other dock operators we talked to stated that Styrofoam has far greater 'lift' than metal barrels; and it won't rust or need replacement. We'll use Styrofoam for diving platforms and floats, too, because it is easy to cut and use, saving us time and money."

Low-cost Styrofoam is a rigid plastic foam containing millions of tiny non-interconnecting air cells. Water won't penetrate Styrofoam, won't waterlog it. Neither will punctures destroy its flotation properties. With Styrofoam, buoyancy is permanent! Styrofoam requires practically no maintenance in either salt water or fresh water. It won't rust or rot, and it resists the attack of destructive marine growths and organisms. There's no need for costly periodic painting, repair or replacement. And it's easy to install. Styrofoam can b e cut with hand tools and quickly nailed, doweled or strapped in place.
