Architects Survey
Reveals Tendency
To SociaIize Graft
Sees Growing Practice
Of Placing Professionals
On SuIuries

A greater demand for the services
of architects as groups rather than
as individuals is foreseen in a sur
vey by Stephen w. Dodge, chair
man of the Committee on Public
Information of the Brooklyn Chap
ter of the American Institute Of
Architects.
Mr.. Dodge notes a growing prac-
tice of Federal, State and city gov
ernments to place architects on
salaries. and Of large industries to
have plans for new plants and en-
largements of existing plants pre-
pared by their own draughtSmen,
or by a specialist who might be an
industrial engineer rather than an
architect.
Much potential business for the
architect" Mr.. Dodge says, "is in
dicated by the new master plans
for land usage upon which the
planning commission Is holding
hearings, and which will change
the character of many neighbor-
hoods, the properties taken in fore
closure by loaning institutions that
must be liquidated, and the un-
profitable and vacant buildings
throughout New York.
Further Specialization.
Many of these older buildings
are solidly built and should be
modernized, but work on one par
ticular building among many unim-
proved is not likely to prove very
satisfactory. 1t calls for community
or neighborhood cooperation and
the further socializing of architects
in group efforts"
The future of the architect who
works alone, Mr.. Dodge declared

Godgets
New Type
Sofety Window
Available for Home
By HILSON MUNSEY.

A great deal Of attention is being
given by manufacturers to perfect
ing a window that can be safely
cleaned from the inside of the room
and so do away with dangerous
ladder climbing.
Here is one on a new principle.
1t can be installed in double
hung window easement. 1t takes
the form of glass panel in
serted in the regular window and
works on the principle OF door.
This insert divides each sash in the
case of double-hung window into
three parts. BY opening this win
dow-door, it is a simple matter to
clean the other two-thirds of the
window both in the upper and
lower sash. In cleaning the upper
sash, the two sasheS are reversed;
that is the lower sash is raised and
the upper sash lowered.
To prevent any accident if an
attempt is made to raise the sash
when the insert is open, the windows
have been constructed so that it is
impossible to move them unless the
window is closed.
The frames of these inserts are
made of a tough aluminium alloy.
They can be installed in either
wood or metal framed windows and
in any type double hung, easement
or pivot windows. The inserts weigh
about pounds each and are
fastened both top and bottom,
which adds strength to the check
rail in double hung sash.
Boiler Heater.
The ordinary water tank working
from either pot stove or coil in
the heating system boiler easily and
inexpensively can be converted to
q gas heater. This apparatus is
manufactured by one of the leading
American companies and is de-
signed to remove all worry about
an adequate water supply from the
mind of the consumer.
This heater is placed in the supply
line of the cold water and can be
used with the present hot-water
storage tank. 1t is quite reasonable
in cost and requires no care.
The operation is automatic, but,
of course, needs a gas supply for
It's operation. The turning of a hot
water faucet in any part of the
water system will give an immediate
and continuous supply of hot water.
1t does away with the need for
stoking the pot stove and removing
the ashes and in the case of a coal
heater the hot-water supply won't
diminish when the furnace is run at
a low temperature because of
weather conditions.
The heater after it is installed is
fully insulated.
Note: For further information re-
garding the new gadgets described
above write Mr.. Munsey in care of
The Star, and inclose a stamped,
self-addressed envelope.

specialist, who Is an industrial
engineer rather than an architect,
employing q large force of special
lists for designing and drafting, and
whose work, like that Of the Gov
eminent, is not confined locally but
spreads from coast to coast"
Mr.. Dodge observed the grouping
Of architects for the design of low
cost housing projects, under city,
State and Federal subsidy. But
priorities granted to war industries,
he points out, will handicap new
work In this field.
The outlook for draughtsmen,
however, is very bright, he con-
cluded. "They are required by the
public agencies and those larger
architectural and engineering firms
who have in charge the protests
demanded by our rearmsment and
preparedness program" he said.

Protects Kitchen Furniture

Kitchen tables and chairs can be
made alcohol and boiling water
proof by coating them with bakelite
varnish. The varnish, which resists
almost all types of stains, is avail
able in both colors and clear finishes.
Usually two coats are required for
surfaces which receive much wear.

Officers OF Sheep Growers
Association Are Reelected

At the first annual meeting of
the Ashe County Sheep Growers
Association, held last Saturday
afternoon, all officers were re-
elected, reports given and cor
dial invitation was extended to
every sheep grower in the: coun-
ty to join. the association.
'This is a fine organization, the
only one of its kind in North
Carolina, and it offers much pro-
lection to the sheep growers of
Ashe county," L. I. Case, of the
state extension service who was
present and made an interesting
talk, declared.
He stated the protection afford
ed through the insurance feature
of the organization and the vat
dipping service should be a big
encouragement to increase pro-
duction of sheep in the county.
The financial report showed
that several members had re-
ceived indemnity payments for
loss of sheep caused by dogs and
other causes.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1941-04-10

The reelected officers are: w.
B. Austin, president; r. B. Brown,
vice president and H. D. Quessen-
berry, secretary and treasurer.
The directors were reelected.
The insurance feature in con-
nection with membership is ''for
protection and not profit, the
bylaws point out.
"The association inde1nnifies its
members against loss of sheep
killed by dogs, death resulting
from biting, tearing or chasing.
The indemnity allowed in no in
stance shall exceed the value of
the animal .. Payment Of losses
shall be made at the end of the
fiscal year," the bylaws state.
The insurance fee is 10 cents
per animal and twice the amount
for purebred animals.
It is estimated that there are
around 800 sheep growers in Ashe
and all Of them are invited to
join the association.

Oliver And Brown
Are Approximation
Co. Welfare Board
To Select A Third Member
And Organize. Duties OF
Dept. Numerous.
OTHER DUTIES

The new Ashe county welfare
board is expected to meet within
the next few days to elect third
member and to formally organize.
Bryan Oliver, who has been a
member of the board for some
time, was re-appointed recently
by the State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare and at their
meeting Monday, the county COM
missioners appointed R. B. Brown
as another member. These two
men will select a third member
and elect chairman.
A new law, passed during the
last session of legislature, gave
county commissioners authority
to appoint one, of their own mem
bers to the welfare board. In ac-
cordance with this law, Mr..
Brown was selected for the po-
sition.
The other two members of the
old board are J. B. Hash and Mrs.
Warren Jones, of Lansing.
One of the duties of the new
board will be to elect a welfare
superintendent, whose term of
office will begin July for an
indefinite period under the merit
system now being instituted in
public welfare work. Miss Ruth
Tugman has served in this ca
pacity for several years.
The activities of the welfare
department are numerous and in
clude the administration of the
social security programs-old age
assistance, aid to dependent child
rem, surplus commodity, investi-
cation of WPA applications, aid
to the blind, pensions, etc.
