In the forests of coastal Red Cedar often survives weather. Little wonder.

British Columbia, the giant centuries of time, wind and then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.

ITS BEAUTY IS AGED.IN.THE.WOOD:

The president of Quantum-which laboratory specializes in advanced concepts in materials and components engi- neering-stated that homes in the future might well be heated, cooled, and lighted by electrically powered paneling embodying principles already fairly well understood by science. He envisioned glass windows that would either transmit or act as a barrier to light according to how a control knob is turned. Composite materials which simultaneously provide the "framing," enclosure, weather-resistance, exterior finish, and insulation for walls and roofs are almost a certaintv. he said.

Other speakers at the symposium included Harold D. lfauf, dean, School of Architecture, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Stanley A. Orr, technical staff assistant, U.S. Steel Corporation; S. T. Williams, president Scovill Manufacturing Company; Albert G. Barrows, executive director, Concrete Masonry Institute; and M. F. X.

Innovqtion In Storoge Rock Design

The American Metal Products Company of Detroit announces an innovation in the design of a storage rack for plywood and wall board. The material is kept on a special pallet made of rugged square tubing. The pallet is supported on short cantilever arms that are quickly attached to the Slide-n-Lock posts (see inset). Each upright frame has three posts so that the pallets are supported at six places.

This design saves space by eliminating the "full length" stringer (except at the top and bottom level where they serve as tie bars). Notice how the fork guides, under the pallet, occupy the space where the stringer would normally be (see illustration).

The cantilever arms are attached without bolting and are quickly adjusted to any new leve1.
