Then, when the various stages of the rocket separated flawlessly, explosive-filled lead extrusions actually performed the separation--and lastly, the instrument package left on the moon is still receiving electrical power from lead telluride thermocouples. Another very important way we tell the World about lead is through motion pictures. It's hard to gage the success of such things accurately, but one useful yardstick is always the size of the audience--and on that basis I think we've done real well. For example, more than 6 million people in the U.S. have seen one or more of the versions of our movie "The Lead Matrix" in 1969. Mostly on TV and at motion picture theaters-- however there have also been thousands of industrial and government show ings in 1969 too. We also have 2 two-and-one half minute film clips. One clip is a condensed segment from the "Matrix" ideally suited for a TV filler, and the other is a condensation of our very successful film, "Lift Better Electrically." This short film was only finished in September, 1969, and has already been seen on 28 TV stations and been shown 10,000 times at theaters around the U.S. to an audience of 1,573,000. The one remaining department at LIA about which you haven't heard is Health & Safety. Yesterday afternoon you heard quite a bit on lead in gasoline, but let me tell you--the other brushfires requiring atten tion in this field continue to burn, and I'll tell you a bit now about what Jim Roumas, Our Director of Health and Safety is doing about it, particularly in the field of childhood lead poisoning. Our booklet, "Facts About Lead and Pediatrics," which presents an honest, factual approach to the problem of childhood lead intoxi cation has been extremely well received by physicians, public health authorities, city officials, social workers, citizens' groups and others throughout the country. Following an initial printing and dis tribution of 25,000 copies of this publication and its companion pam phlet, Lead Poisoning in Children, a publication of the U.S. Children's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health, Welfare and Education, a second printing of 40,000 copies was made because of the demand for these booklets. We feel that the issuance of these materials did much to enhance the image of LIA from a public service standpoint. OfI I PNFC00001254 Ar-ENCIX 9 Chase-Park Plaza Hotel -5- Aprii 10, 1970 Annual Meeting St. Louis, Missouri interest in this connection is the great number of local citizens' grr-.cs around the country, calling themselves "Citizens Against Lead" c; seme similar type name, who request our assistance in their pro grams tc prevent childhood plumbism. In addition, he has worked t'-iseiy with Public Health officials of the cities where the problem is most prevalent. i~ we are now in our sixth year of publishing and distributing The Kettering Abstracts of Available Literature cn the Biological and P.aiated Aspects of Lead and its Compounds" and comments are still being received from recipients around the world regarding the value of this service. Within the past year, the Kettering Institute of the University of Cincinnati has contracted with the United States Public Health Service to abstract articles on lead toxicology published prior tc 1965. Another publication which I am sure is of interest to cur member companies is the American National Standards Institute Z311-1969 titled "Acceptable Concentrations of Lead and its Inorganic Compounds." I am. happy to report that, by providing factual information substan tiating the lead-in-air standard of 200 micrograms per cubic meter of air which has been established for many years, we were successful in having this standard retained over the objections of two Federal agencies1 representatives who served cn the Committee responsible for the issuance cf this standard.
