New Homes. New Method

Buildings which utilize the Cup
and Button System of Construction
invented by the late Professor
Wells, of the Architectural Depart
ment of the University of Wash
ington, are going up in increasing
number in Vancouver, Canada, and
Seattle, Washington.
Several Filipinos, such as john

Monillas, Florentino Bigornia, E.
Menez Funtanoz, Pete Balagot, Fee
lipe Nude, Francisco Giron, Loren
20 Anunciacion, Ricardo Pagud,
Arturo Pacis, Joe Montante and
others, have been in training either
in the production of Cup and But
ton Concrete Units or in the new
method of construction which is
expected to revoluntionize the
building industry.
Trainees
Francisco Giron, who has had his
training as superintendent of pro-
duction at Arrivals, Inc, plant,
1T River ST., will soon get his
training as construction foreman in
building houses for Mrs. Clara
Sommer, who has vacant lots in
various districts of Seattle, such as
Northgate and Beacon Hill.
ARRIVALS, Inc, wishes to train
more men in the new technique of
construction for expansion in Seat
tie, other communities and later to
the Philippines, thereby opening
new opportunities for employment.
Writing on a duplex at Dexter
Ave-, which is made of the Cap
and Button Concrete Units, con-
struction analyst says in an illus
trated leafiet:
1--WE call your attention to the
above duplex, recently completed
in Seattle, Washington.
"Some of the outstanding feat
ures are as follows:
Reinforced concrete footings,
walls TEN INCHES thick with
SIX-INCH circulating AIR COR
RIDORS through which all pipes,
conduits, heating ducts and utilities
are carried.
THE walls of this structure
weigh approximately 1855 tons.

crete Perma-Tile in four shades of
green.

81 Shortly before the war and dur
ing the war there were little time
labor and building materials avail
able for the construction of new
houses. This resulted in ap acute
Shortage of housing. According to
reliable surveys, Seattle needs
about 10000 homes and the country
as a whole about twelve million.
THE building boom is expected to
continue for over seven years more
in spite of certain slumps in other
Industries. This is in harmony with
the well-established theory that
the cycle of boom and repression in
The building industry lasts longer
than the general economic cycle.
Writing in Housing, Town and
Country Planning, (Feb., 1880, a
booklet issued by the United Ma
lions, Raymond M. Foley says:
"As result of war time migra-
lion of workers, the low rate of
building activity during the de-
preston, curtailment of housing
construction during the war, and
the unusually high marriage rate
IN the defense and war periods,
many communities could hardly
shelter their wartime population.
t"The United States will require
100000 additional family accom-
mOdatiOns each year, for period
of more than ten years, if current
needs and accumulated deficiencies
are to be eliminated. Most of this
additional housing must be pro-
vided through construction"
q The booklet contains articles on
the housing and town planning
activities of various countries of
world, such as India, Belgium, New
Zealand, Yugoslavia, Canada, Pan
anna, Java, United Kingdom, Union
.of South Africa, Alaska, Madagas-
car, Nigeria, New Guinea, etc.

Tips on Calling Club Meetings to Order
By Kite Turmoil

Judy, the new president of her
teen club, suffered through her
first meeting. Jump-ups, wild
handwaveS, Interruptions and
arguments caused SO much con-
fusion that there was too little
time left for the well-planned pro-
gram, food and recreation.
After listening in on that un-
business-like session, the club
leader suggested: why not try to
be done with all the business dur
ing the first 20 minutes? That
way you can make way for the
yak-yak which you will enjoy
much more, later"
In order to cooperate, the club
voted to abide by these rules:
Members, as we'll as leaders,
should feel responsible for keep
ing order, paying attention and
treating any one who has the floor
with courtesy. Otherwise, the
meeting loses interest and dignity.
To set a good example, the presi-
dent should use diplomacy and
psychology. She should not en-
courage any Side-talk, fascinating
as it might be to her personally,
which distracts general attention.
All should be encouraged to take
turns in expressing ideas, with
nobody trying to show off or mon
opolize the discussion. There
should be some signal system, such
as hand-up or a stand-up or
nod for permission to speak. All
should follow these Stop, Wait and
Go signs.
Sometimes in an unruly or in
experienced group, it is helpful to
use penalties as reminders not to
get out of order. Some clubs keep
a piggy bank" or coin-cup within
reach. Into this any one who in
terrupts drops whatever nominal
fine has been agreed ahead, for
the club treasury or for some So
cial group-purpose. If this works,
fine, but the light-penalty system
should not be turned into a game
which is even more distracting.
The adult way in successful
club life is to follow the set rules
for parliamentary procedure. For
Evening star., 1950-10-29

these, at community clubhouse
or library. you can consult the ira
ditional authority, Roberts RULES
of Order 1t is encouraging to
know that this standard guide was
written long ago by very young
man. 1t was inspired by his en-
barrassment when he was called
upon to preside at a meeting at
which he wished, desperately, that
he knew the rules for correct pro-
cedure.
Once you do learn to follow the
basic rules smoothly it is easier
to accomplish the many aims
which can make your club work
more efficient and interesting.
| Girl Scout and Guide week,
starting October 20, is a timely
reminder that this worldwide
organization has trail-blazed many
practical, purposeful, youth activ-
tiles. Recommendations for activ-
tiles at the senior high school age
include these trial-worthy tips for
doings at any club from mid
teens on:
Meet once a week for l or
hours, or once every other week
Evening star., 1950-10-29

for or 3 hours. Eight is q good
starting number; IL to 20 is about
right for an active established
group. Gdeal size varies. You
can't house a mob-meeting at an
average size home, but you do
want enough members to enrich
your interests and experience. The
too-small club, which is a closed
clique. can become stuffy. In too
large a group it is hard to achieve
the friendly intimacy which
should reward club effort.)
At a first meeting start with a
Commute ice-breaker period dur
ing which all are named and you
learn something about each. Spare
10 minutes for an inspirational
talk. Do not rush program plan
Evening star., 1950-10-29

ming. Look toward a distant goal
which will be worth continued
effort. Decide on a major interest
which appeals to the majority. At
each meeting announce an activ-
ity of future interest. (That, like
food. helps keep up the attend
ance.)
For balanced programs combine
information, fellowship, fun and
recreation. Plan together. check
back on progress, widen your
horizons with community activ-
tiles. Try to learn more at each
meeting about how to think to-
gether, work together and play
together with the orderly but
friendly manners which can make
you more popular in any group.

Jewel Ems, Ex-Boss of Pirates,
Dies of Pneumonia at 60

In Columbus, Ohio, George
Trautman, president of the Amer
lean Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues, called Ems a
fine baseball man and a fine
personality.
Warren Giles, president of the

Jewel did a great job for us
when he secuted the Tigers" Giles
said.

in 1922 as an infielder with the
Pirates. His active playing days
ended when Pittsburgh made him
a coach in 1926. a job he held until
the Pirates promoted him to
manager.
Ems was a native of st. Louis.
He broke into baseball with San
Antonio of the Texas League in
1908. The next 10 years he played
mostly with Dallas.
Ems came back from service In
World War I to become playing
manager Of Houston, a post he
left to come to Syracuse in 1921.
From 1882 to 1885 Ems coached
'at Detroit. Cincinnati and Boston
before returning to Pittsburgh for
another five years as coach.
He signed with Cincinnati In
1910 as a scout and later was
coach and manager of the Cincin-
natl farm team at Indianapolis.

as the most formidable Jewish
heavyweight to come along since

Simon made their bids.
His 1949 record shows a~knock-
out victory over Joe Muscato, a
draw with Abel Cestac and a
10-round no-decision exhibition
against Joe Louis.
He is considered a standup
fighter, one who is willing to mix.
That may be just the kind Broth
ers likes. The District heavy
weight has a good reputation here
and would be seen more often if
matchmakers could find opponents
for him. Last summer he boxed to
a draw against big Pat Comiskey
and later dropped a split decision
to Arturo Godoy.
