APRIL OTH, 1944 FLIGHT Advertisements, ri FUNDAMENTALS To possess a habitation is the common instinct of every living creature. Nature displays many marvels of ingenuity and constructive skill only surpassed by man. Buj: the spider still spins its web as it did millions of years ago. Aeons of change and development in living organisms have added nothing to the materials of construction used by the birds, beasts, fishes and insects. The highest product of evolution is man, who acquired reasoning powers which first enabled him to abandon the clammy caves for the warmth and comparative security of a wood and wattle hut. From these dim beginnings he learnt to make bricks from clay ; to hew and carve the stone for temple and cottage. Yet, though he acquired skill to fashion rich architectural gems with greater spans of roof in wood and stone, his shelter was still earthbound. With the advent of steel his imagination began to soar till now it has become essential to his needs in erecting structures of towering height. The progressive genius of man will find even greater scope in utilising the many forms of steel in the light, airy and spacious edifices for the ciries of the future.
