Values" Says Architect

Washington, D. C., Dec. l5.-Faculty members and students of architecture at Howard University, Washington, 'D. C., were addressed by Richard G. Kembell, Architectural and Building Code Advisor, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, on November 21, who drew for them a sharp distinction between modernizing and remodeling. He pointed out that remodeling means any change or addition necessary to meet current needs ' a sun parlor, a sleeping porch, a new pantry, a bathroom, as the case may bein order to give to the building the appearance or convenience temporarily requilqd; whereas modernizing recreates a building without diverging from the original character and basic style of architecture.

"Remodeling is objective; modernizing is subjective", said the speaker, "and the good architect should approach his subject with the end in view of securing good architectural efforts, without waste of money. If this end is realized then additional new values have been created out of what might otherwise be just an average piece of property. Values far in excess of what would be realized in mere remodeling, within the limitations set by the character of the building, may be established by a restrained architectural code of modernizing." Mr. Kimbell used the Association's film, "The'Transformation," for visual demonstration in developing his subject.

Moore's 1930 Calendar Ready For Lumber Industry

The Moore Dry Kiln Company's "darkey" calendar for 1930 is now ready for distribution to the lumber industry, according to an announcement just made by company officials.

The Moore calendar, portraying darkey life as personified by old "IJncle 'Neas" has become a tradition in the lumber industry. Yearly hundreds of lumbermen look forward to receiving this interesting and unique calendar, and requests for copies are received from November until June.

For the past six or seven years the darkey pictures which l-rave appeared on the Moore Dry Kiln Company's calendar have been drawn by Jim Alley, famous as the creator of "Hambone's Meditations" which appears in the daily newspapers. Mr. Alley has made a picture of more than ordinary interest for the 1930 calendar as it treats a subject with which every lumberman is conversant.

In the 1930 calendar old Uncle 'Neas is shown as the proprietor and operator of a "one-hoss" loggin' outfit. As usual, I-Incle 'Neas encounters difficulties. and from these come the title of the picture: "One Hundred Per Cent Circulation".

The Moore Dry Kiln Company has for distribution about 18,000 calendars and copies may be had by writing the company either at North Portland, Oregon, or Jacksonville, Florida.
