Cameo Changes to Chiaro

representation of light and shade. The Chiaro wall units have a fired on black enamel frit which gives a feeling of light and shade to the sculptured units.
Pittsburgh Corning emphasized that there will be no change in the product in either pattern or style.
Robert E. Rawlins, manager, architectural glass products, for Pittsburgh Corning, said that the name change should not cause any problems in the marketing, sale or distribution of the new Chiaro units. He said that the only difficulty will arise from literature and packaging that bears the former name-Cameo.
"The name change may cause some confusion initially." Mr. Rawlins said. "But, as long as the product remains the same, this should clear up without difficulty," he added.
"We were reluctant to make this change, because initial interest in the

Inspect Jayhawk Towers At Lawrence
Members of Structural Clay Products Institute, Region 18, inspected one of the Mid-West's first structural unit featuring brick masonry load bearing wall type construction, a huge apartment complex at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. The group was given technical information concerning the project by George Cape, project architect, and by Homer Bryce, Dale Wallace, and L. C. Gresham, of Henderson Clay Products, Inc., of Henderson, Texas, brick supplier for the unit. The complex is known as The Jayhawk Towers and is six-stories high.
The multi-million dollar complex will include two buildings, containing 148 two-bedroom apartments, which will open this fall. Two additional buildings will be opened later, having a total of 300 two-bedroom units. A swimming pool and two three-story parking units will also be erected on the 5-acre site, which is adjacent to the K.U. campus. All units will be air conditioned.
glass units has been quite high among architects and builders," he said. "But in the interest of preventing any confusion we renamed the blocks Chiaro."
Consider The Seabees
The U. S. Navy is issuing a new call for Seabees under its "Direct Procurement Petty Officer" program: "Top Rates to Top Men!"
The Direct Procurement program provides an outstanding opportunity for skilled men to fulfill their military obligation while gaining increased experience in their trade.
Qualified volunteer civilian construction workers, regardless of race, creed, or national origin, can join the Seabees with advanced rates.
Volunteers sign up at any Navy recruiting office for a Seabee 30-month tour of duty. At that time, they directly are given Petty Officer ratings, based on their qualifications.
The current drive for skilled construction volunteers is the result of build-up in Seabee forces in Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, the famed Seabees are playing a critical role in support of the combat Marines. Seabee accomplishments are becoming legendary as they lay "instant" airstrips, build roads, drill wells, construct buildings and waterfront facilities, and operate and maintain complex construction and transportation equipment.
Any man who has been a civilian constructionman apprentice for 24 months, or has 24 months of experience, can enlist in the Seabees as a Petty Officer 3rd Class.
A constructionman with 48 months training and experience (normally, a journeyman) can be a Petty Officer 2nd Class.
A more senior worker can be a Petty Officer 1st Class, if he has seven years experience-some of it at the Foreman or Master level.
