Builders, architects, realtors, materials manufacturers, distributors, lending institutions, veterans organizations, labor organizations, minority groups, and mayors' emergency housing committees will be represented at the industry meetingi. They are being sponsored by local chambers of commerce, real estate boards, home builders associations, materials dealers associations, and other com- of a large volume of rental housing projects for occupancy by veterans of World War II and iheir families, as called for by the President, represents the greatest need and the greatest opportunity in the housing field today," Raymond M. Foley, National Housing Administrator and Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, stated.

"Cooperation of all factors-management, labor, finance, and government, both local and national-is necessary in achieving our objectives. The President, the veterans, and the nation are counting upon a successful performance by private enterPrise and the FHA."

Outdoor Movie Theatres

Use Timber Frcuning

U. S. DePartment of Agriculture

SAW- PAOES 'EM ALL

Washington, D. C.-Among the growing field oI summer amusement attractions through America, the outdoor movie theatre is becoming increasingly popular' Spring building projects in many communities are including this type of amusement place, according to the engineering department of the Timber Engineering Company'

One of the recent timber built jobs, located in Chicago, has a tower 88 ft. high with wing walls 69 ft. The spacing of vertical trusses was determhed to meet the requirements of the architectural design and yet maintain economy for narrow towers of those heights. At the base of the tower and completely enclosing it are attractive built-in offices, rest rooms. and transformer vault. The Teco 'connector system of timber construction was used in the structural frames. Usual capacities for such theatres are generally from 60 to 800 cars. This theatre, with its larger screen and higher tower, can accommodate over 1,000 cars'

The framing was prefabricated at the job site by Morris Handler Co., general contractors; the architects were B' Leo Steif & Company, and the structural engineer was Henry Miller, all of Chicago.
