Masonry Fund Trains Inspectors

The Masonry Research Fund of Southern California established a school to train masonry inspectors.

Classes began on July 8th at Woodbury College at three dollars per night, three nights per week for five weeks.

Instructor is William T. Courm, structural engineer.

The course has been designed to give all students a thorough knowledge of blue print reading, Los Angeles and County, Uniform and State building codes, and all requirements and responsibilities of a deputy building inspector. In addition all students will be given a complete course on the technique of "High-Lift" grouting. This program was started in San Francisco in 1955 and recently been used extensively in Southern California.

Many guest speakers have been arranged to help present the requirements and information. Some of the speakers are Oscar Siegal, Glen Martin, Albyn Mackintosh, Hugh McDonald, Alex Laker, Walker Dickey, Al Maxted, Chris Steute, George Batty and Ryan O'Brien.

GILMER HALL, the new life sciences building at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. Modern architecture, modern construction techniques and the modern method of removing excess mortar, SURE KLEAN NO. 600 DETERGENT and NO. 101 LIME SOLVENT were chosen for this impressive building, honoring Francis Walker Gilmer, the "father of the faculty" who died nearly a century-and-a-half ago while in England at behest of Thomas Jefferson, the University's founder.

SURE KLEAN NO. 600 is the truly modern method for removing excess mortar from virtually any masonry surface, particularly BUFF BRICK! And, the job is done with complete confidence, without fear of burn or discoloration with less cost per square foot than old-fashioned muriatic acid solutions and other overly-strong, sometimes dangerous chemical compounds.
