All-Weather Council
(Continued from page 7) tion, Skokic, III., on the $143,000 study he has been conducting for the Council at cold and hot weather locations in Canada and the U.S. The research is being funded for the Council by PCA and the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). His findings will be submitted to HUD in a final report at the end of this year and then made available by participating Council members to the U.S. and Canadian construction industry.
"It is anticipated," according to the All-Weather Council, "that many of the procedures and techniques recommended concerning hot, cold and wet weather construction will help considerably in creating more man-hours of work for not only the masonry industry but all who are employed in the construction industry."
At the Chicago meeting, the Council also reviewed the results of a study done by the University of Virginia with a Council grant. It is an "Economic Study of Winter Building Construction for the Masonry Industry All-Weather Committee." It, too, will be published and distributed to encourage owners, general contractors, architects and others to consider all-weather construction.
Eugene George, of Kitchener, Ontario, indicates that the next project being considered by the Council is an audio-visual presentation that will incorporate the findings of the HUD-PCA research, the findings of the University of Virginia study, and other procedures and techniques which have been developed and tested by the Council.

Medusa Forecasts Gain
Robert W. Fort, president of Medusa Corporation, announced before a group of security analysts in Cleveland that Medusa expects third-quarter earnings will be materially above the $1.50 per share reported last year in the same quarter. Part of the gain is relief from the unfavorable weather experienced in 1972.
Fort indicated that earnings should exceed the $1.72 per share reported for the third quarter of 1971 (which was later restated on a pooling of interests basis to $1.69 per share).
