Recommendations for producing good interior and exterior portland cement plastering are described in a new committee report published by the American Concrete Institute titled "Guide to Portland Cement Plastering." Prepared by ACI Committee 525 (624), Portland Cement Plaster, the report discusses important factors involved, materials, proportioning and mixing, sampling and testing, methods of application, bases, crack control, application and curing, and decorative finishes.
The report, published in the July, 1963 issue of the ACI JOURNAL, is available in reprint form at 60 cents each from the ACI, P. O. Box 4754, Redford Station, Detroit, Michigan 48219.
The newest edition of the ACI Building Code Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318-63)-is now ready for distribution, the American Concrete Institute has announced.
Extensively revised, the Building Code provides minimum requirements for the design and construction of reinforced concrete, or composite structural elements of any structure under the requirements of the building code of which the Code forms a part. For special structures such as arches, tanks, reservoirs, elevators, shells, domes, blast-resistant structures, and chimneys, the provisions of the Code govern so far as they are applicable.
The 144-page 1963 Code is available in paperbound and hardbound editions and may be ordered from the American Concrete Institute, P.O. Box 4754, Redford Station, Detroit, Michigan 48219. The paperbound edition is priced at $3.00; $1.50 to members. Prices for the hardbound edition are $4.00; $2.50 to ACE members.
Two publications for the homebuilders, "Design for Rural Living" and "Building Better Farm Structures With Concrete," are being offered by the Portland Cement Association. Single copies of the two publications are available free from the Portland Cement Association, 33 West Grand Ave., Chicago, Ill., 60610, or from the Association's district offices throughout the United States and Vancouver, B.

"I'll give you three good reasons why you should buy an Hydraulic Buggy"
BETTER CONTROL Forward, reverse and brake are all on one control. More positive stop and go action with little operator effort, (no clutching).
LESS MAINTENANCE No gearbox, no clutch, no brake bands to go out of adjustment.
POWER TO SPARE - Climbs a 20% grade under a full load.
AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH: With a 10 cu. ft. capacity, easier maneuverability due to the simpler controls, and fewer exposed parts (drive mechanism is fully contained), the new Hydraulic Buggy answers the contractors every need for an efficient, time saving materials handler.

A couple went into a showroom to buy one of those economy, compact cars. After hearing the price, the husband said, "but that's almost as much as a big car costs."
"Well," replied the salesman, "if you want economy, you've got to pay for it."
