C. M. Dicus Using
Patented Steel Plates
To Pour Concrete
Walls
A new method of concrete wall
const ruction is being used by C
M. Dicus, contractor, in building a
two-storv addition to the Hotel Lc
Faine. employing the use of metal
concrete forms rather than the
conventional wooden forms.
Thp primary metal form is a
two foot by two foot steel plate,
smooth on one side and ribbed on
its back to where it can be bolted
to its neighboring form when In
place. Hows of these are fastened
together, and are adjustable to
any lenglh or depth with one-foot
wide or six-inch wide plates or the
addition of wooden strips to make
the forms in which concrete is
poured.
Mr. Dicus, who designed and pat
ented the plates, had his first set
of them made about a year ago. In
previous construction jobs he has
used them to pour foundations, but
the LeFaine hotel addition is his
first use in making the walls pf a
building. ,

in the construction of concrete

than brick masonry.
ThP mptai dates, from a con
tractors point of view, present a
hirtuer investment than having
wooden forms made. However, the
wooden forms wear out after being
used only a few times, whereas the
plates last for years. Also, Mr.
Dicus states, it takes a sKinea car
penter to make wooden forms and
urfiu( ihpm when their positions
are being changed, while regular
laborers can set the metal piate
and get them in place quickly. The
basic Plate weighs 30 pounds.
His method at the LeFaine is to
use two rows of plates, the lower
over the wall already poured, and
ihe upoer row to make the form
in which more concrete 12-lnch

The regular inspection of pub

An examination of the court

Judge Felix K Alley.
The county home was found like
wise in excellent condition. "We

We also find that the old persons

Another suggestion was that
"some action lie taken by the prop

At Junaluska
The voice of science and the
voice of the church, represented
respectively by Dr. Karl Z. Morgan
of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the
Rev. Clovis Chappell. of Charlotte,
North Carolina, united Monday in
portraying utoinic power as an un
dreamed of opportunity and a
grave responsibility to the Chris
tian forces of mankind lh.it this
powerful development of science
may be directed into an era of
peace and prosperity that will make
war obsolete rather than wipe
mankind off the map.
Sponsored bv the Lake Junalus-
ka Assembly a two-hour morning
program here, including a ques-
lion and answer period, centered
about1 the Atom Bomb and wheth
er It should be a destructive pow
er or an instrument of peace.
Dr. Chappell, discussing the
Moral Implications of the Atomic
Bomb deplored the fact that moral .
character and purpose had not kept
