Flying Roof Tops in Hurricqnes

Washington-With recent hurricanes cutting new and bigger swaths in the nation's industrial and residential areas, insurance companies are showing increasing interest in construction features designed to make buildings and other structures more resistant to windstorms, according to Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The lumber industry's engineering and research organization is supplying underwriters with data on Teco Trip-L-Grip framing anchors and their particular use in roof construction. First introduced in hurricane and cyclone areas of the country, the Teco anchors provide stronger, more economical nailed joints in wood framing of roofs, ceilings, and floors.

Vice-President Nixon to Open Housing Genter October 3

The home that housing built will be formally opened October 3 by Vice-President of the United States Richard M. Nixon. The opening of the new Center, now virtually completed at 1525 L Street, N. W., will coincide with the fall meeting of the National Association of Home Builders' board of directors in Washington, September DOctober 4.

"We plan to make the opening of the National Housing Center a major event for the home building industry," Board Chairman W. Hamilton Crawford said. "The Center is more than just a building. It represents the advanced thinking of the entire building industry-an industry which has not only produced nearly 10 million new housing units since World War II and set a pattern of housing standards for the entire world, but which will constantly strive for development of new technological advances and new methods to improve housing. The principal job of the Center will be service to the home building industry and the home buying public," he said.

The eight-story building, located only four blocks from the White House, is being built at a cost of $2.5 million. NAHB headquarters will occupy the two top floors and the remainder of the building will be devoted to exhibits of building products and services.
