RIGOROUS TEST of new Johns-Manville line of aluminum siding and accessories is being made through its use in construction of thirty Little Big Dollar Stores in New York's heavily trafficed subway system. Insulated type, 10'8" long with a fu" buff and, laminated with double-beveled 3/t" J-M backer board, is shown above being inspected by Jack Feiwus and Arthur Oxenberg of Sharel Contractors and Lum,ber Corp. of Brooklyn, N. Y. Choice was dictated by need for easily maintained siding with high transverse strength, stiffness and impact resistance to withstand buffeting by subway riders. Also available in standard 8" clapboards, 72'6" long with a rl" butt, the new J-M products are factory-finished with a smooth, durable, fire-cured vinyl finish that will not peel, crack or chip and is said to be superior to industry standard srirfaces.

Reseqrch Group Estqblished

A pioneering research group-the first of its kind in the U.S. Forest Service-has been set up to do basic research in forest mensuration, the science of measuring and predicting timber volume and growth.

The project, which is national in scope, will be supervised by Lewis R. Grosenbaugh and headquartered at the Pacific Southwest F'orest and Range Experiment Station in Berkeley, California. Formation of the group was announced todav bv Dr. Keith Arnold. director of the Forest Service's Ber-keley station.

Grosenbaugh has been promoted and will trar-rsfer to Berkeley early in June from the Southern Forest Experiment Station in New Orleans, where his work has won world-wide recognition for original contributions in forest management and inventory methods.

"This pioneering research unit, like others in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is an attempt to advance the frontiers of knowledge by putting an outstanding scientist to work on basic studies of his own choice," Dr. Arnold said.

"Grosenbaugh's work will deal with four general fields: (1) basic principles of tree measurement, (2) analysis of forest stand conditions, (3) prediction of timber growth and yield, and (4) the mathematics of forest management. Better knowledge in these fields is fundamental to future progress in both the business and the science of timber oroduction."

Flintkote Compony To Build $l O Million Asbestos-Cement Pipe Plont At Rqvenno, Ohio

The Flintkote ,Company plans to start construction this summer of a $10,000,000 asbestos-cement pipe plant in Ravenna. O.. 15 miles west of Akron, I. J. Harvey, Jr., chairman of the board and chief executive officer, announced today.

Signaling Flintkote's entry into this field, the plant is the first of two planned ,by the com,pany as a result of a licensing agreement b.etween it and the Johns-Manville Corporatlon.

Under this agireement, Flintkote was licensed by Johns-Manville to make asbestoscement pipe long marketed bv J-M under the trade name "Transite."

Products made by Flintkote will be merchandised through its Orangeburg Manufacturing Divisiorr, a leading maker of fiber and plastic pipe and conduit acquired by Flintkote in November, 1958, according to Mr. Harvey.

The 186,000 square-foot facility will have a 46,000-ton annual capacity. Pipe to be produced will range from two inches throueh 16 inches in diameter. When in full operition, approximately 150 workers will be employed.

The one-story plant will have a spray- applied Flintkote Monoform roof over a Flintkote Insulrock slab deck. Located on a i00-acre site, the plant will be one mile south of the City of Ravenna on U.S. Highway 44. It will have railroad as well as trucking facilities.

New Method of Termite Control

A new method of termite control is now available from Mariae Associates.

Called the X-TERIvII-NAIL, the unit consists of a nail-like cartridge containing calcium Arsenate, which is driven into strategic locations throughout wood structures. An ordinary nail is then driven through the cartridge, impregnating the area around the nail.

Key f eatures of this new device are its low cost and ease of application. For example, on new construction, carpenters merely drive X-TERMI-NAILS along with regular nails.

Primarily designed for new buildings, XTERMI-NAILS can be used on older houses. utility poles, farm wooden fences. or anv other construction subject to termite irifestation.

Because the nail unit is completely sealed, it is safe to handle and use. Further information on the X-TERMI-NAIL method aopears in bulletin No. 156 available from cu$lnED lDYEnTlslllHo3itlon wanted t1.00 D.r lh., Tjiqfi,.if,f",li{#il'fl.f'='1'11l1li;i'r't+
