Concrete Job
Us Judged by
The Finish
BY DOUGLAS TUOMEY

The average homeowner Is
fairly familiar with the manner
in which concrete forms should
be made when he wants to lay
q sidewalk or any kind OF plat
form. But not all know how to
get the best results in finishing
the work. nor do they know how
to 60 about it with the least
effort.
When a typical form has been
filled to the top with concrete, q
straight-edged board is laid
across the form. This board is
known technically as a screed.
Screeding is the best-known
method for getting the exactly
even and smooth surface re-
quired before troweling is done.
The screed should not be
drawn along the top Of the form
boards. It should be worked
back and forth as though you
we're cutting q log. and slowly
moved forward as the saving
motion continues. This removes
all excess concrete and also
floats the surface smooth.
When the concrete is well
screeded on. q wood float is used
to get q harder finish. Where

allowed to set until It will Just

The greatest mistake q person
can make is to fail to cover new
concrete work and keep 1t damp

for fresh concrete to set COM

La Poma. secretary-treas-

Activity in Year

BALTIMORE, Mar. % (P.-
Aided by the Nations guided
missile programs, the Glenn l..
Martin Co.'S business in 1856
was the best ever with the ex-
ception Of the war years of l943
and 1914, President George M.
Bunker said yesterday.
The aircraft firms sales and
current backlog were at new
peacetime highs. Mr.. Bunker
said. More than half of Mar
tins 1910 million backlog was in
contracts for guided missiles, he
said.
Mr.. Bunker, in the company's
annual report. said: Our Ma
tons guided missile programs,
as reflected in the current mill
tary budget. are assuming an
ever-increasing Importance to
the defense establishment. For
more than ten years the COM
pany has been working to en-
nance its capabilities in guided
missiles.
Emphasis has been placed on
both technical competence and
physical facilities. At year end
more than one-half of our con-
tract backlog was in this i'm
portant and growing field"
Mr.. Bunker said 1856 sales of
Martin products and services
totaled $358,961 .622. a 80 per
cent increase over 1855 sales of
$271 1923 However, net in
come for 1856 was only $10,839,-
656 compared to $13.2S5,297 in
1855.
The net income decrease was
attributed to: Cd Inclusion in
the 1855 net income figure of
SO, 1855 in homecoming war;
ranty items and prior years
royalties previously in dispute,
and (2) a lower percentage of
profit on sales resulting from the
fact that more than half of the
company's 1856 sales consisted Of
cost plus 1ixed-fee development
and pre-production contracts
which are less profitable than
production contracts.
The report said the company
spent $16.856.191 last year for
plant. property and equipment,
most of it at Martins new plant
at Denver. Colo.

On balance. key industrial

Oil shares showed a slightly

Overall hesitancy was appar-
