Heuer To Be Honored
(Continued from page 23)
their wives to share this event with the Heuer family. Harry is the only living member of the charter members of this chapter.
Harry Heuer received his bricklayer journeyman's card in 1905, although he started carrying water for his contractor-father's men at the age of eight. Mr. Heuer's grandfather was also a mason contractor in Germany, before coming to the United States.
Mr. and Mrs. Heuer are enjoying their retirement, and as he said, "I have had a wonderful life and still enjoy reasonable good health, and friends drop by to recall years past when I worked for 60 cents an hour on a nine hour day. It was tough going for a kid of his age, but there are many happy memories too". Perhaps this is the secret to his untiring efforts to keep the apprenticeship program active.
Many citations hang in their residence office for services rendered to the masonry industry. The National Joint Bricklaying Apprenticeship Council gave a certificate of commendation to Mr. Heuer for 12 years' service on the Oregon State Apprenticeship Council. Mr. Heuer holds life time memberships in the Builders Exchange Cooperative, Oregon Building Congress and Portland Chapter MCA where he served as President of each. He was Vice President of Region F MCAA, 1956-57.
Harry was given the "Congressman of the year" award and Guildsman award by the Oregon Building Congress, both highly coveted honors.
The Portland Vernon Presbyterian Church recently named their new hall, "Heuer Hall" with a plaque reading as a memorial to him, "without whose help and leadership the church would never have been possible."
His many friends and business associates wish him many more years of productive activity in his service to the masonry industry and to his evergrowing family circle.
Darling Markets TRI-DAR
Darling & Co., Chicago, one of the nation's leading renderers, announced its entry into the production and marketing of a comprehensive line of admixtures and surface treatment agents for concrete under the trade name TRI-DAR.

He said the TRI-DAR line will be marketed to highway and paving contractors, ready-mix plants, and producers of concrete block, pipe, and pre-cast and pre-stressed products.
