When ls q Door o Ceiling?

In California, homebuilder Henry C. Fox has moderirized the old riddle: "When is a door not a door? When it's ajar." He has developed a thrifty system of locking pairs of attractive modern flush doors together and 'then using them as panels to form both walls and ceilings in a new line of prefabricated housei.

^o Cox built his first "slab-door" house recently as a contenporary model house in the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, according to the recent "new ideas" issue of House & Home, leadirrg magazine of the homebuilding industry. Ife was prompted to use doors for its novel walls and ceilings when he realized that these standard manufactured pieces were one of the few building materials that had not risen in cost too much in recent years.

Hollow Tree, Pqdulo Componies

Steol Porode With Logging Flocrt

But after he was through, says the magazine, Cox figured this method of building was lo/o cheaper and 60,4o faster than conventional methods, and the public response to the rich wood pairels of the show house was so enthusiastic he decided to market a prefabricated house of this type this year. Except for an enclosed fi-inch of fibreboard insulation, these are standard doors made on standard presses. Their insulating U-factor is 0.33. Each pair of doors form a panel 6 feet wide and 6 feet 8 inches high, with each panel set between posts and beams spaced 6 feet apart. "For interior use, no other system of panels on wood framing could approach flush doors in cost," says the magazine.

One of the highlights of the recent 3-hour Lions Club Parade in San Francisco proved to be an en- try by Hollow Tree Lumber Co. and E. A. Padula Lumber Co. The "float," consisting of a Mack log- ging rig supplied by Pidula and a huge redwood log (over 8 feet in diam€ter, brought gasps of astonishment from a large part of the 40,000 Lions visitors, many of whom were not aware that California does things on a big scale, too. In iddition, the spectacle upset San Francisco's Union Square pigeon population no small bit-and even the town "regulars" did double and triple-takes as they came upon the big rig resting magnificently in front of the St. Francis hotel. A good show and a nice piece of public relations was furthered by the announcement that the lumber contained in the huge redwood log would be donated by Hollow Tree to the Lions spon- sored Enchanted Hills Camp for Blind Children.

Huge Housing Conference of Induslry Top Men in Son Fronciscor Sepl. l2

Leading home builders and manufacturers of. building materials-and equipment will meet in San Francisco, September 12,in a "blue ribbon" conference to explore cooperative methods of developing an expanded housing program that will meet the nation's present and future housing requirements, announced Richard G. Hughes, chairman of the board of trustees of the National Housing Center, which will sponsor the meeting in cooperation with House and Home, of Time, Inc.

The conference will highlight the fall meeting of the directors of the National Aisociation of Home Builders being held in San Francisco, September l2-l7. "This conference holds more significance forthe future of homebuilding.than any such gathlring that has taken place prior to this timc'," Hughes siid. "ThIs significance, we feel, is justified !I th. cali-ber of personalities and corporations who are participating in both active and advisory capacities."

The following business executives are included on the Industrv Advisorv board for the conference:

S. W. Antoville, president, U.S. Plywood; Clifiord J. Backstrand, presideni, Armstrong Cork; Melvin H. Baker, chairman, National Gypsum; Ed{ar Kaiser, president, Henry J. Kasier Co.; Wifliam L. Keady, president. Fibreboard Paper Products; Mrilliam G. Reed, chairman, Simpson Timbef ; Charles K. Rieger, vice-president, General Electric; C. H. Shaver, chairrian, U.S.- Gypsum; Fred f<.--W:y-qlhaeuser, president, Weyerhaeusei Timber, alq I' \M. Wil.o.r, p.esident, Aluminum Co. of America. Their counterputi.'otr'the Industry Advisory board from the home-build- ing field will be 15 past presidents of the National Association of Home Builders.

"The National Housing Center feels that it is high time that every segment of tfie vast hottsing-industry complex be brougit tJgether to improve communications and to increase undersTanding of each other's problems," said Hughes.

"We feel, and industry concurs' that it is time to look at the clock. Everyone concerned with better housing for the American people must realize it is only- three years before the accelerated rate of new family-formaiions in the sixties may double present demand for new housing."

One of-the purposes of the meeting, Hughes- pointed out, rvill be to exchange ideas and information on developments in home building"pertaining to industry trends, production, outlook, constriciion techniques, research and merchan-
