"Job-of-the-Monlh"

Shown in photo above, pretty Joann McGarty assigning St. John's Seminary as the "Job-Of-The-Month" for Acker & Acker California Visualite Jalousies.

Looking on approvingly is Mr. Charles Brohammer, Vice President of Acker & Acker, Inc.

The St. John's Military Academy, located in Chatsworth, was designed by Barker & Ott, A.I.A. Mr. William L. Barker, explain- ing their selection of California Visualite Jalousies for the job, stated, 'oEarly in the design stage, we decided to use Visualite Jalousies for all the windows in every building. This decision was based on the fact that we required a quality louvred window, and the unique clip feature provided a close fit so necessary to insure a water-tight installation. Moreover, the Visualite Jalousies, with their combination of glass, wood and metal louvres, gave us the flexibility we needed for adequate classroom light control as well as proper protection to avoid window breakage. We have found this product to perform satisfactorily in every condition."

The photo above was taken at the Acker & Acker permanent display at the Architects and Engineers Service Building Center at 7933 W. Third St., Los Angeles. The Center is noted for permanent displays by the leading materials and equipment suppliers for home and building construction. Over 150 manufacturers are represented at the Center.

Miss McGarty is one of several young women employed by the Center who call on architects throughout the area apprising them of the latest in construction materials.

Great Need For Skilled Workers

The training of skilled workers is falling behind the needs of our burgeoning econ- omy at a "shocking" pace, Douglas W'hitlock, chairman of the board of the Structural Clay Products Institute, told members of the National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors in the keynote speech at the opening session of their three-day conference in W'ashington, D. C.

In the construction industry alone, only 10 per cent of the demand for skilled help in the next l0 years will be filled through apprenticeship at the present rate of training, he said.

At the same time, swarms of teen-agers will be entering the labor marke! and at the end of the decade will comprise about half the labor foroe of the nation, Mr. Whitlock said.

He called for stepped-up efiorts on the part of management and labor, working with State and Federal governments, to expand apprenticeship programs on a voluntary basis to supply the trained labor that he said "will build a whole new America by the end of the century."

"The challenge," he said, "is for educational institutions to lay a sound foundation of learning, for parents to teach habits of industry, for government to avoid a wage standard that will deny untrained beginners the opportunity for their first jobs, and for tax reforms to improve the inducement to work."

Good Roof loughs ot Goles

With the hurricane season near and winter storms still remembered, the wise home owner is taking a careful look at his roof. He knows that a weather-worn roof leaves a house vulnerable to hurricane-force winds and the deluging rains that accompany them.

It's a temptation to try and get just one more year of seryice from a roof that has stood up well for many yearn, but it's a risky business if the roof shows definite signs of wear.

High winds often weaken worn roofing to the point that heavy rains can soak into the house. Such deluges often cause more damage to house and furnishings than the wind itself.

When reroofing an older house or building a new one, many families in high-wind areas (winds of 75 miles per hour or higher have been recorded in at least 39 states) are turning to wind-resistant asphalt shingles to protect their homes. firere are two prineipal methods of ap- plying asphalt shingles to resist winds:

1. Self-sealingmethod. Strip shingles with factory-applied adhesive are secured with roofing nails in the conventional manner. The self-sealing adhesive bonds each shingle tab firmly to the underlying shingle.

2. Interlocking method. Asphalt shingles with a special locking device-usually tabs which slide into slots-are used. The roofer locks each shingle to the adjacent ones, forming an attractive roof that is highly resistant to wind.
