BUILD WITH STRUCTURAL CLAY TILE BY ACME BRICK COMPANY Acme Clay Tile walls, under normal conditions, do not require shrinkage control through the use of expansion joints and joint reinforcing. Superior bonding qualities assure a wall impervious to moisture, wind, and dust . so interior finishes are protected against damage. Excellent insulating qualities of Acme Clay Tile also provide lower air-conditioning and heating costs.
If you are involved in planning for a new building, ask your Acme Brick representative to explain the many valuable features of Acme Structural Clay Tile. Acme Clay Tile,load -beanng and non-load-bearing, is readily available in a complete line of shapes and sizes.

The jury stated "the results shou ld ha, •e a positive impact upon attitudes toward shelte r space. Much original thought is represented in these dei,igns, and there are many ingenious solutions. A greater und erstanding of the concept of a fallout shelter , and what it is should result from this competition, for here is e\'idence that it need not he a masshe enclosed box."
The Texas team which took Region S's liri,t place was composed of Rober t F. Coffee, a recent graduate of the Uni,ersity of Texas School of A rchitecture, Kelly R. McAdams, A(A, and Rodney Lud,\ ig, Engineer.

The creation of the protected area is,
howe, er, of e\'en greater interest. Here
is a completely open shelter area, with
a clearstory ahove. The shieldin g re
quired is ohtained through the ca reful
placement of heavy masonry piers, sections of ,·eiling high wall and low

floor of an o,erhang at the clearstory.
This is truly an ingenious concept
which totally eliminates any 'closed

, ides excellent school and she lter fa. rilities.
The location of masonry piers and integral wall shidds has been well gtud ied to provide protection against ground direct and skyshine contributions. The depre;-sed floor in the multipurpos<' ar<'a pro, ides further inhen•nt protection from the ground direct contribution by placing thr orC'upants helow the path of clirrrt radiation from the ground.

The problem prei-ented to the architect was the design of a one story "Town House" \\ ithin the limits of a forty-five foot wid<' urban site. The site was on<' of sixte<'n such sites in a modern "Town llou~r" group.

Whatever you're designing, make sure you can promise your buyer long-term savings with gas heating and cooling. Economy is the big reason! A silent, low-cost gas flame is the heart of the system. There are no complicated parts to wear and need repair. This means long life and low, low maintenance costs. Sized from 2.8 to 1000 tons, there's a gas system for any plan - small home to high rise office building. Why not get full details from the builder department of your gas utility?
