Build Them Better, Prof. Says
An appeal to the entire construction industry to build structures that will last 50-100 years was made to members of the trades industry and to Region Six members of SCPI by Raymond D. Reed, Head, Department of Architecture, Iowa State University, at the 30th meeting of the Institute held in December in Des Moines.
"Our problems of providing buildings (to service America's population explosion) cannot be solved by the use of temporary materials. We must build once and build well," he said. "We can build this better world if we will accept the responsibility to build a better life for our children and if we design for the people."
In answer to the speaker's challenge to "build once and build well" bricklayer officials from Iowa and Nebraska outlined plans for a number of apprentice schools for 1966 in Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska to meet increased demands for brick masons. Tom Walters, Des Moines, secretary-treasurer of the Iowa State Conference of Bricklayers and Masons, expressed appreciation of the continuity of cooperation by SCPI in promoting training schools for apprentices.
Elected officers for SCPI for 1966 were C. T. Bridgman, Goodwin Companies, Des Moines, president; R. J. Galvin, Sheffield Brick and Tile Company, Sheffield, vice-president; F. L. McCrea, Adel Clay Products Company, West Des Moines, treasurer; Roger Judd, Endicott Clay Products Company, Fairbury, Nebraska, secretary. James Neville, Ames, was renamed director of Region 6 of SCPI.
