ganiZatiOns are turning on the heat
for local adoption.
A countrywide campaign for the
code has been started by the Home
Builders Association Of Westchest-
er. In that suburban county just
north Of New York City, 81 differ
ent codes are in force. They are
proving expensive luxuries for the
man who builds. In one community
only clay pipe is allowed for sew
age drainage-irOn pipe is prOhib-
tied. Across the line in the next
community, only iron pipes can be
used-clay pipe is banned
Architects, builders and mech
anics are confronted with a COM
plexity of distuI blng variations
from one community to the next, -
the builders complain.
This results in showdown in
building under way, and additional
costs to correct craftsmen's errors
arising from lack of knowledge of
detailed local regulations"
The value of uniformity is es-
peeially important because Of the
national distribution of building
materials. Although the snow load
Of roof varies widely with the
climate. many performance stand
ards of construction are basic
everywhere.
Architects and engineers, with
test data available from the Nation
al Bureau of Standards, the Under
writer's Laboratories and other
sources, can readily design houses
to conform with the new perform
-ance code. To assist others, how
ever, the State Building Code Com
mission is preparing a lOose-leaf
manual illustrating the various
materials and methods that meet
each performance requirement. The
manual will not be part of the law,
but merely International.
In preparing the code, the COM
missions researchers analyzed PAS
local codes and building ordinances
in New York State and found from
one to four major deficiencies in
most of them-ObsOlescent prOvis-
ions. incomplete fireprOOfing rules
rigid specifications and wide varia-
tions.

family and two-family dwellings

Nine Year Potato
i Research Shows
Startling Results

Nine years of research on late
planted potatoes has just been
summarized by the plant pathology
department at the University of
Delaware. DR.. ]. w. Heuberger.
chairman of the department, said
that in these nine years they have
continuously tested fungicides on
late-planted potatoes. Figures
show that the yield of plants treat
ed with Bordeaux mixture, fixed
copper sprays, and zineb show a
significance increase over untreat-
ed potatoes. The increase, over the
untreated plants, are Bordeaux, 80
per cent; fixed coppers, 20 per cent.
and zineb (Dithane of Parzate). 66
per cent.
Said Heuberger, these figures
show that good yields can be pro-
duced on fall potatoes in Delaware,
once the disease problem is licked.
Perhaps now, he commented, we
can bring some of the fall potato
acreage back to lower Delaware.
The fact that potatoes were SER
iOusly afflicted by late and early
blight made them good research
tools for screening and testing new
fungicides, Heuberger explains.
Each new fungicide, in it's devel-
Opment state, is tested on late DO
tatOes to determine C) will it con-
troll disease? ~ is it safe? (3)
will it increase yields?
If a fungicide shows promise on
the potatoes, it is tested on other
vegetable crops, and on apples and
peaches. New fungicides discover
ed in this Delaware work are Di-
thane Ola plus zinc sulfate, liquid
Parzate plus zinc sulfate, Dithane
Z-7S, and Parzate. The Delaware

The Annual Christmas Party for
Underprivileged Children was first

Clement Nevins as chairman. On
that occasion, the names and ad-

were obtained from the State We'll

to their homes. Last December. a

It's q very unusual measure. 1t
doesn't say in any place exactly
what material you have to use. It
merely tells the strength or other
protection required, and leaves the
door open for any tested material
that can do the job. Therefore, it
is known as a performance code"
: which specifies types and sizes of
materials and freezes construction
Il, for example, a form Of low cost
glass should be invented that could
do the job of a steel girder and
prove it in tests. such a glass gir-
der would not be black -balled under
this code.
Not being able to use new mater
ials has been one of the big troub-
les with building codes. The Ma
tiOnal Association of Home Build
ers has long complained that "Out-
dated codes, requiring various
types of construction and mater
iaIs, not only increase the cost of
most housing, but also result in a
great deal of material waste" A
recent statement from that organ
ization said:
What is permitted in one town
may be prohibited in the adjoining
city. Many codes are obsolete. Some
seem to be preserved to protect
entrenched interests of one sort or
another, are weighted to fivOr GER
tain materials, or apparently to de-
velOp the maximum volume of work
for powerful unions"
Building codes are very import
Isnt. They are part of the police
power of the state to protect people
in matters of safety. health and
welfare There have been building
codes for 1000 years. The code Of
Hammurabi. chiseled in stone read:
"If a builder erect a house for a
man and do not make its cOnstruc~
tiOn firm and the house collapse
and cause the death of the owner.
that builder shall be put to death. -
