Construction Engineer Says People, Like
Houses, Require Periodic Remodeling Jobs
Ohio-born builder of skyscrapers, Lou R. Crandall reveals here

for broadcast by thinking, useful p.ople in all walks of life. The
program is presented by Edward I\. Murrow over KIBII at
3:55 and 10:30 pan.. Monday through Friday.

As I try to outline my thoughts
t’ne subject becomes more and
more difficult. 1 have many basic
beliefs but as I try to pick and
choose it seems to me that they
all can be summarized in the
word character. Obviously what
you believe is a fundamental
thing. There can be no ianfar .
no embellishments. It must be
honest.
An architect once told me that
th most difficult structure to
design was a simple monumental
shaft. The proportions must be
perfect to be pleasing. The hard
est thing to build is a plain
straight wall. The dimensions
must be absolute. In either case
there is no •ornamentation to
hide irregularities, no moldings
to cov r hidden defects and no
supports to strengthen concealed
weaknesses.
I am using this example to il
lustrate human character which
to me is the most important sin
gle power in the world today.
The young people of today are
in reality foundations of struc
tures yet to be built. Il is obvious
that the design of these human
structures is the combined ef
forts of many human Architects.
Boys and girls are influenced
first by their parents, then by
their friends and finally by busi
ness associates. During this per
iod of construction, the human
character is revised and changed
until at maturity a fa rl\ w H
fixed form r is fou.ii
Th re are few human straight
walls and 1 . hu.onu
women are p lvonalitie.- of great
beauty and are so rar that his
tory recor i< tr. .. bt ing and
holds them up a examples for
the
t rs aie for m>. i'i - close, t .
amplcs : ■ r1 eiioii.

Today in tow world of turmoil
and ve uid u mor
of such people but they do trot
just ii. ppei g. I b( la-v that
they are the result, of concentrat
ed effort on the part of parents
and associates and toe more we
build with character the better
the world will become. This may
sound like a dreamer's hope a id
a theoretical goal which can
never b. reached. I do nut think
so.
The w orld as a whole has pro
gressed t .’L'ineodousiy material
wise and " e are a fortunate na
tion in th I we are Lading the
procession. L is, 1 believe, natu
ral that natio >t so £< Tunat<
should look upon us with envy.
We wou’i do the same if the
positions were reversed, so we
WBWB—r -ml ■rwL'VWKOcaasr *• *- - .hrjom
should not judge too harshly the
efforts of others to equal our
standard of living. In either case,
the fortunate or the unfortunate
character in the individual and
collectively in a nation stands
out. 1 agr e that it is easier to
build character under ideal con
ditions but cannot forget that
character is also required to give
as well as receive.
It should be to the benefit of
humanity if all individuals
and this includes myself—did
a renovating or remod ling job
on our own character. It may
merely he a crfte of removing
i ough edges or tossing away
molding to exnos: irregularities,
in some cases to remove a prop
and stand on one’s own feet. In
any event if some -of us s.t ex
amples. others will follow and
the result should be good. Tiiis
I believe.
