Set Meeting Date
The "Dynamics of Standards Applications" will be explored at the 1969 Annual Meeting of the USA Standards Institute, set for November 19-21 at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Detroit, Michigan.
The program will focus on how standards can be and are being used to solve the day-to-day problems of companies, protect the industrial worker and the consumer, and expand exports and international trade.
Industrial executives, members of Congress, high-ranking government officials, and national and international standards administrators will speak during the three-day meeting.
Expand Training School
Because of the growing need for experienced lathers, the number of lathing apprentices enrolled in Chicago's Washburne Trade School will be increased this summer by 50 percent- from 29 to 45 men.
This increase maintains Chicago's standing as one of the largest lathing apprentice training programs in the country, according to Robert Hamilton, lathing instructor at Washburne.
Under the Washburne program, students attend classes one full day per week and work construction jobs, assigned as an apprentice to a contracting firm, on other days. Students in the Chicago area program earn $3.045 per hour and are paid a full day for the time spent in class.
CMAI Names Murphy

Plan Huge Project
McCulloch Oil Corporation has exercised an option to purchase 32,000 acres of land near Pueblo, Colorado, on which the company plans a "major new city development" similar to its huge project at Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The new city, to be called Pueblo West, is located six miles west of Pueblo and is master planned for a projected population of 60,000 residents.
McCulloch acquired the acreage from the W. A. and Agnes Mays Trusts of Amarillo, Texas, and Arthur J. Stegall of Phoenix, Arizona. Purchase price was approximately $5 million, with a cash down payment of $967,000 and the balance due on release clauses.
