"Q Block" Program
(Continued from page 7) Canada and many parts of the world. The quality of Q Block is maintained through periodic tests by accepted laboratories. If at any time the block tested is below specified standards, the Q Block franchise is taken away. The Q Block Program adds a new chapter to the almost legendary success story of the concrete masonry industry. In 1962, U. S. concrete block production reached a record high of 2.34 billion units, and the industry could also boast that its production accounted for nearly three-quarters of the total masonry wall volume in the United States.
Establish Headquarters
The National Conference of Health, Welfare & Pension Plans will establish a permanent office with full-time staff on January 1, 1964, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This decision was reached following a discussion of the Long Range Planning Committee recommendations presented to the Board of Directors at the mid-year meeting.
The establishment of this office will make possible the coordination and consolidation of all administrative and management functions which have previously been handled through the offices of the individual Conference officers. This will permit a more economical and efficient handling of details inherent in the management of the many Conference activities and will also make possible the development of a broadened scope of activities.
