Your buyer can actually save thousands of dollars over the years with gas air conditioning ... a fact proved in installations throughout Texas. The reason? Simplicity. A silent gas flame is the heart of the system. There are no complicated parts to wear and need repair in a gas cooling system. And of course it operates on low-cost natural gas. So build year round gas air conditioning into your next project. Systems are available for the small home, large factory or high-rise office building. Get full details from the air conditioning or builder department of your local utility.

FOR YEAR ROUND AIR CONDITIONING ... GAS IS GOOD BUSINESS JULY 1963 3

MASONRY CEa,aENT

for walls that make the most of good design

Better walls start with better mortar. To be sure of top quality, specify mortar made with masonry

cement. This cement is a blend of materials that gives a good balance of the desirable properties in mortar.

Except for sand and water, everything is delivered in one bag. Mixing calls for no special skills ... when

workability is right, water content is right. I t makes a "fa t,, mortar that promotes better workmanship.

Tighter joints, uniform color and dependable strength arc assured . For the best in wall performance with

any masonry unit-concrete, brick, tile, stone or glass-architects everywhere specify masonry cement .

Write for free literature. (U.S. and Canada only.)

Thi s e/('fnentary school was pro­grammed to meet the challenge of a .,tudt•nt body who spoke liule or no Ellglis!t alld was situated in an eco­llOm ically depressed section of a hot, dusty, south we stem city. Absenteeism among the student~ was a major prob­lem during the agricultural season and had to be considered. Administrators were faced with the task of deciding what kind of education these cl,ildren vf ,l/ exican immigra11t~ should receive, and how many different le1,e/s of aca­demic skill could be arranged into a .1clwol orga11i:ation.

Classes u:ere organized by age rather than intelligence of academic levels. The educatwnal program slre~sed learning through t:i.sual aid.s. mu.sic, art and dancing. The program al.so in­cludes the different .standards of health, .saniJatwn, nutrilwn and achieting fluency in EngU.sh.

The .school. was designed lo proi;ide cool., du.stl.ess, interwrs u:hich open onto shaded outdoor space. It i.s a cluster of four separate quadruplexes u•hich combine u:ilh translucent ca­nopies lo capture ouJdoor .space for circulation, leaching and play.

WITH ONE-THIRD LESS BRICK Few if any other building materials available combine so many needed ad­vantages in one product, offering such versatility, as does new King Size Brick by Acme.

King Size Brick by Acme 1s a new form of one of the most reliable and proven building materials ever made: genuine new burned clay. Without any additional finishing or maintenance, Acme King Size Brick provides an almost limitless range of design opportunities, through a wide

variety of colors and textures. Because Acme King Size Brick is larger than regu­lar modular brick, it gives a proportional cleanness of line in the wall, with one­third fewer brick.

A visit to your Acme Brick sales office will enable you to see quickly the design possibilities now open to you, with new King Size Brick by Acme.

<'Qn tn1ct·on up

May conc:truction contracts soa red to a new alltime high of ~1.850,522,000, a healthy 21 per rent inc rea.~r over the like 1962 month, F. W. Dodge Cor­poration reported today . All major ron strurtion and building categories cont ribut ed to the gain.

A \'cry large incn•ase in the monthly volume of utility ronc:trur tion con­tracts, as well as a !'trong pick-up in new roadbuilding project~, dro\'e non­building construction contra cts to Sl ,337,225.000, a substantial i6 per cent gain o,er May 1962. "The May reports brought a good d(•al more bal­ance into the construction pictu re," de­clar ed George A. Christie, Dodge sen­ior economist.

"For the fir:-t four months of this year, the strong gains in re<-idcntial and non -residential building have been partiall} ofTH·t hy lagging utilities and public works contracts. The recent surge in these construc tion typec:, al­most eliminating their deficit to date, allows the total to reflect fully the really vigorous tempo of building,'' expla ined Christie.

Nonr esidential building contra cts in May amounted to Sl,452,lM,OOO, up 14 per cent compa red to the like 1962 month. Contracts for manufacturing plants posted a better than 50 per cent gain, the second consecutive one, al­though commercial building was off 2 per cent.
