The 34th annual convention was called to order by President C.. C. Davis of Wilmington, who pointed out that the lifting of building re strictions after victory will not only unleash the greatest pent-up de mand for new homes America has ever known but will also ushed in a gigantic modernization program. Home modernization will be among the most pressing needs of America in the first postwar year and should be a major factor in easing the country’s transition from war to peace economy, Davis explained. The plumbing industry can turn to home repair and modernization work immediately after limitations on critical materials have been lift ed, Davis stated, as modernization work can be undertaken more quickly than new construction. Invocation was presented by George A. Moore of Wilmington and introduction of speakers was made by Davis. W. R. Dosher, postmaster of Wilmington and past president of the association, wel comed guests in the place of May or Bruce B. Cameron of Wilming ton, who was called out of town because of illness in his family/ Response was given by Howard L. Hopkins, of Charlotte, after which each guest representing manufacturers and wholesalers spoke briefly. Main speaker in the morning was Mayor W. J. Sullivan of Greens boro, past president of the state association. He asserted the plumb ing and heating industries of North Carolina were lending a great ef fort in prosecution of the war by handling varieties of plumbing and heating in shipyards and army camps. Now is the time for plumbing and heating industry to prepare for postwar activities,” he said. Mayor Sullivan outlined activities by which every plumbing and heating man in the war can return to his former position and reenter business in his community or seek new communities. He pointed to the cooperation plumbing and heating industry has given the State Board of Health in furthering rules and regulations for sanitation of the State. ‘ A large amount of criticism against the health conditions has been attributed to installations and upkeep of plumbing and heating systems,” Sullivan explained. “Closer observation by adminis trative heads of city, county and boards of health can eliminate that condition in any community. After election of officers, the convention adjourned until the aft ernoon portion of the program. axic axvcxiiuun sessign Degan witn an introduction of speakers by C. Z. Adams of Greensboro, secretary of the North Carolina chapter oi American Society of Heating and Ventilating engineers. James Partington, Jr„ of the General Electric company, in speaking' of “Post War Opportuni ties in Residential Heating and Air Conditioning,” stressed the part air conditioning will play in the post-war period and the unlimited opportunities for the heating con tractors in this field. A native of New York, Parting ton received his B. S. degree frfen Haverford college in Pennsylvania and was field, engineer for three years in heating covering North Carolina, Virginia. West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His present ac tivity includes sales and engineer ing on refrigerated barges for the U. S. Army and industrial refrig eration for war plants. Fuel saving ranging up to 30 per cent in comparison with conven tional heating systems was pre dicted for postwar home owners by Charles A. Hark, of the engi neering service department, A. M. Byers company. Pittsburgh, in an address this afternoon. The new system, which also elim inates radiators and registers, is known as “concealed radiant heat ing” and, according to Hawks, there are now approximately a thousand installations operating in this country. He advised that, un like many of the promises for post war homes, radiant heating has been thoroughly engineered and time-tested for results, and is ready for general adoption as soon as wartime restrictions on home build ing are lifted. “Radiant heating utilizes an en tirely new principle of providing comfort,” Hawk said. “Instead of warming the air in a home, the new system circulates hot water through wrought iron pipe coils lo cated in concrete floors or posi tioned beneath- conventional wood floors. The floor’s heat is then radiated to all other room surfaces, and the result is a gentle, spring like warmth very different from the ‘baked’ air provided by other systems.” In some of the existing installa tions, Hawk explained, the coils are located in the ceiling rather than in the floor. The differential in air temperature at various lev els in a room is never more than two or three degrees. Today’s session will include speeches by R. K. Landreth of Lubbock, Texas, president of the National Association of Master Plumbers, and E. G. Harris of Richmond, Va., national director A banquet will be given tomorrow night, with highlights being in stallation of officers and a talk by Landreth. Requests For Prisoners Slow To Reach Galphin No definite requests for prison ers of war to work farms have been received in the office of County Agent R. W. Galphin, it was learned yesterday. Groups of farmers from Castle Haynes and Wrightsboro have made inquiries however, and are expected to re port soon the number of prisoners ; they will want. 1 Galphin said that he would know by the first of next week how many of the prisoners will b» allotted here.
