Lumber Answers School Construction Program

Washington, D.C.-There is no valid reason for holding up or putting ofi the buiiding of vitally needed schools throughout the natiqn in 1952. John B. Veach, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C., declared today that plenty of timber is available for both defense and civilian needs. He said that savings up to 30/o for roof construction alone are rossible through the use of timber trusses, and that timber fabricators have adequate capacity to suppli' structural framing for schools and other buildings.

Veach announced that, as a result of a recent national survey, over 1600 architects have reported that they are designing all types of jobs in t:mber, and225 reported they are designing wood frame schools liow. A concurrent survey of timber fabricators in all sections of the country shows that the industry, on one shift, has the capa-city to provide the needs of over 400 million board feet of wooden roof trusses per year.

Veach drew attentron to the growing popularity of one-storv frame schools in the past several years. He attributed this incerasing trend, now accentuated by the metal shortage, to the ready availability, prompt deliveries and economical prices for wood frame materials. On a recent Maryland job, Veach stated, the architect found it possible to make a 30/. saving in roof constructiorr cost by using glued laminated timber in place of metal. This. he said, is typical of savings that can be made now in all parts of the country.
