The question must be asked, *Wtgr has this occurredT* Probably there *r* three reasons s.tty,'-

1. So* to use load (a re-education) 2. LoM 1* act toxic (a reassurance)
It is ey fe-silof that should /ro satisfy Uu j cor.miat on those two jxir.ts, hi will again Incorporate load in <A1 hi .i ; rx>uct trjl wtr.t Is no.ru tnrort--sct, ho *111 so ok its proportius in solving son, cf his .resent icy rrebLn# with rx>e oersnics, such si crchitoctural ,ordain crnnul pvmcls, otocironic c jrsnlca, high teopuraturo Cor-taie coatings, atocic ooraaic a,-plications, utc.
lhat can tha industry do?
It is our suggestion tbit tho load industry launch an educational canpaign to accoop

t by tho Load Industries Associations The

This lottsr *111 concentrate only on <iat the load Industries Association should do.
*o rococnond a sorios of ads *ith actual case histories (see sasples).
feu would go to a tllo cocvary end ask thoa to giro you porcission to publish a fors-ila. Too would talk sbout *hot lead does for this produce. Then you would talk tbout tho lord ingredient ir, it and its properties, Tou would end with assuring thee that this comyxuid is non-toxic.
Tho *aeo procedrro would carry stories on ssnitarywiuv, porcelain eoaeasl signs, gleet etc. Koch tino tho ad would give a forsuls, explain tho usa, talk about *ha lead pre `tact and assure its safa uso.

This, Mr. Zlogfold, is our story In brief, la'll bo glad to enlarge on It at aqr tine.
