' Certain members of the asphalt roofing industry are taking govern mental agencies to task for accept ing "down-graded" asphalt roof ing. One of them Is Lloyd A. Fry, chairman of the board of Lloyd A. Fry Roofing Co. A Fry plant is lo cated at Uorehead City. Mr. Fry appeared recently be fore a Senate Judiciary subcom mittee, which is conducting hear ings on pricing policies and prac tices of the asphalt roofing indus try. Chairman of the committee is Sen. Estes Kefauver (D., Tenn.) In his testimony, Mr. Fry pointed out that government agencies con cerned with building have accept ed substitute roofing products. He alleged that they were inferior to the type of product required for substantial roof construction. The Federal Housing Administra tion and the Veterans Administra tion now accept, Mr. Fry said, a 10-year roof on a building for which the government is guaranteeing payment of the mortgsge up to 30 years. Substitute Materials Using inferior quality materials in roofing was referred to by Mr. Fry as the "Art of Substitution". Much of the rpice cutting, which the Kefauver committee is investi gating is a result, Mr. Fry con tended, of allowing manufacturers to use inferior materials in an at tempt "to secure a competitive cost advantage". Mr. Fry cited a specific exam ple. It follows : "Today, and since 1935, the larg est selling asphalt shingle is the 12" x 30" - 3 tab - strip shingle, with 5" exposure, weighing 210 pounds per square. "The Original High Quality Standards established for this asphalt shingle, 191S to 1935, same size, same 3 tabs, same 5" ex posure ? weighed 257 pounds per square. "By the 'Art of Substitution', the figures show this strip shingle, rep resenting about 60 per cent of the total tonnage produced in the en tire industry, has 30 per cent LESS dry felt foundation, 40 per cent LESS asphalt content, and 10 per cent LESS surfacing protection, which conclusively proves that "COST" is the predominate con sideration, without regard for Qual ity Standards or Roof Perform ance." Low Standards The two recognized agencies hav ing some control over the industry, the Federal Specification Board and the Underwriters Laboratories, have established only minimum standards, Mr. Fry said. Those standards permit wide spread use of inferior elements at the discretion of the individual manufacturer. Mr. Fry told the committee, "I cannot think of anything more ri diculous than the Government guaranteeing payment of a mort gage on a house, for up to 30 years, KNOWING that the MAXIMUM life of the roof is only 10 years." Mr. Fry suggested that the gov ernment require each asphalt roof ing manufacturer to post full bond covering material and labor costs guaranteeing roofs for 20 years on 20 ? year government guaranteed mortgage buildings. He pointed out that with each manufacturer putting out roofing products to suit himself, no possi ble comparison can be made in value, even though all the products may look the same. Lewis Forrest Speaks to Club Lewis Forrest, a freshman at Newport High School, was the speaker at the Newport Rotary Club meeting Monday night at the school lunchroom. Lewis was the guest of program chairman E. B. Comer. Mr. Comer explained that Lewis had recently won a National So journers essay contest and had a very worthwhile talk. The subject of the speech was Americanism, A Way of Life. Lewis took each letter in the word "American" and showed whst it meant. "A" is for America, "M" is for material blessings, "E" is for education, "R" is for religious freedom, "I" is for each individual in the country, "C" is for country, "A" is for allegiance, and "N" is for a sovereign nation.
