Amid the current problems af fecting the Construction Industry -- including such notable matters as OSHA, Federal-State-Local in vestigations, labor unions with un heard of wage prices, the confusion with piecework, the cost of doing business, the retention problem, the lack of lien laws that adequate ly protect the subcontractor--is it not reasonable to expect this Drywall Industry to pull together now and to advance in unison upon these many problems? For the Drywall Industry is, you know, the Industry that claims over 98% of the interior partition and ceiling construction in the housing market...the Industry that claims over 88% of the market for partitionsand ceilings in commercial construction...and the Industry fast advancing toward acceptance of exterior application. Where are you? From statistical information, we know there are over 6,000 of you contractors out there, ranging from the little guy to the big one. We want you to know there is room in GDCI for each of you. The cost is not unreasonable. And the associa tion is neither union nor non-union ...it works for the Contractor and for the Industry. Is it not reasonable then to assume that a group, an Industry, banded together can and does make an impact? Just take a glance at today's news headlines, both in the press and on TV...the unions do it--the students do it -- (Continued on page 30 ) 3 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This year vour President has attended several events of interest. Among these were the celebration of two original drvwall associations honoring their 20th and 25th an niversaries. This means, among other things, that drvwall has been a growing, vibrant industry for over a quarter of a century. During that period of time, these local associa tions and your International have claimed the honor of promoting the use and development of this product. No one else can make this claim. At the present time many of us are wondering if the game is worth the prize. Due to economic pres sures, or otherwise, interest may appear to be lagging in the institu tion which has consistently stood for the product and industry to which we owe so much. One won ders if, due to this long history, the old adage "Familiarity breeds con tempt'" might not be true. How ever, on our recent trip to Europe, we saw the slogan of one of the big breweries which read "Familiarity breeds content." Perhaps a little more familiarity and interest in your association would result in more contentment and under standing amongst ourselves and a smoother, more profitable opera tion for you. And speaking of the European trip. The representatives from CDCI and the Auxiliary who parti cipated were involved in a most interesting and educational en deavor. The use of drywall prod ucts, the results attained and the application and marketing tech niques were certainly of great in terest to all of us. The intense interest shown by our overseas members was very heartening and contributed to the success of the tour. Certainly, I believe I speak for all of us in saying the whole en deavor was worthwhile and every one felt well repaid for the effort and cost. The itinerary was well planned and conducted. Our next big project is the spring convention at San Deigo. I extend a hearty invitation to each of vou and the hope that this may be the best event ever in the history of CDCI. lust a word about the recent Semi-Annual Meeting. A good deal of meaningful discussion was held and all who attended had an excel lent opportunity to participate. It was a great pleasure to greet and honor the "old timers" who were responsible for the initiation and early progress of our association. May we see them many more times. T. |. Vogle President.

Rhodes Technology Manager and Blair L. Ingalls Supervisor, Special Projects Union Carbide Corporation Metals Division Niagara Falls, New York Introduction This two-part article is intended to acquaint drywall contractors with the current and proposed reg ulations governing the use of prod ucts containing asbestos and crystalline silica. The concluding article in the next issue will present data on the exposure to airborne asbestos and crystalline silica (quartz) during the sanding of tape joint com pound. A total of seven industrial locations were tested. Exposures to asbestos during the wet-out of dry-mix compounds and during cleanup will also be shown. BACKGROUND AND CURRENT STATUSOSHA ASBESTOS REGULATIONS The Williams-Steiger Occupa tional Safety and Health Act was passed in 1970 with the stated ob jective of assuring, insofar as feasible, every American worker a safe and healthy workplace. Under the provisions of this act, the Sec retary of Labor issued an emer gency temporary standard for exposure to asbestos dust on De cember 7, 1971. After extensive public hearings, a permanent standard, effective July 7, 1972, was promulgated. The asbestos standard and the methods used by OSHA to develop it were immediately subjected to a massive legal attack by the Indus trial Union Department, AFL-CIO. In addition to the law suit, OSHA was under continued pressure from other labor groups, public interest groups, and spurred on by the news media to make revisions. It was also recognized that this was the first health standard written. As such, there were parts that were vague, parts that were impractical to enforce, and parts that were overly restrictive without a cor responding benefit in protection for the worker. During 1973, OSHA decided that the asbestos standard should be altered. The initial concept was to replace it with a series of manda tory work practices that would minimize the admittedly cumber some monitoring requirements. The asbestos industry was asked to submit proposed work practices and a technical committee was formed under the auspices of the Asbestos Information Association/ North America. This committee consisted of representatives from about a dozen asbestos producers and large manufacturers of asbes tos-containing products. Commu nication was also maintained with trade associations that used asbes tos or its products. A draft work practice for joint taping was drawn up and submitted to the GDCI for comment. The technical committee drafted several broad work practices re lating to the handling of asbestos. It soon became evident that a large number of specific work practices would be needed to cover the wide range of industrial situations where asbestos or asbestos-containing products were used. The commit tee also examined and recom mended changes in the portions of the regulations that were vague or overly restrictive. The IUD decision was an nounced in mid 1974 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Dis trict of Columbia. The court gener ally upheld the OSHA position in the matter and noted that, al though the Congress had poorly defined the procedures to be used to set such standards, OSHA had used proper methods to collect and evaluate the conflicting evi dence presented. The judgments made to arrive at the standard were within the discretion granted to OSHA; and, more particularly, the court said that it was correct and proper to consider economic fac tors. Two points were remanded for further consideration; those re lating to record retention and the time allowed for compliance. After the court decision, OSHA materially altered their position on the revision of the asbestos regu lations. Under heavy pressure to issue health regulations for other substances, a decision was made to amend the asbestos regulations only to the extent needed to clarify ambiguities. No changes were to be proposed in the allowable exposure levels. Many of the suggestions for clarifying language made by the AIA/NA Technical Committee were understood to have been ac cepted. The redrafting of the regulation along these lines was apparently completed in late 1974 and the re sults were submitted for review to various governmental departments as required by law and policy. Dur ing 1975 key personnel changes occurred at policy making levels in both OSHA and NIOSH. At some point, apparently quite recently, the decision was made to drop the amendment concept and reopen the entire asbestos and health con troversy. This information became 6 public when the proposed changes were published in the Federal Register on October 9,1975. The asbestos standard that was promulgated on |une 7, 1972 and which is still in effect can be di vided intosevenmaincategories: 1. Sets the maximum allowable airborne asbestos concentra tions in the workplace at a ceiling level of 10 fibers/cc longer than 5 micrometers and at a time-weighted average (TWA) for an 8-hour shift of 5 fibers/cc longer than 5 micro meters. The TWA drops to 2 fibers/cc longer than 5 micro meters in July 1976. 2. Defines the acceptable proce dures to meet these standards. 3. Defines where personal pro tective equipment may be used and specifies the types available. 4. Specifies monitoring require ments and the procedures to be used. 5. Specifies requirements for caution signs, caution labels, and housekeeping procedures. 6. Requires medical examina tions for all employees "ex posed to asbestos. " 7. Sets requirements for keeping of medical and monitoring records. The standard was written in lan guage that fits conventional fixed manufacturing locations. It pre sents some very real problems, however, when applied to the con struction industry where the job site and the work force are transi ent. The areas of particular diffi culty to drvwall contractors are those dealing with monitoring and medical examinations. The AIA/ NA Technical Committee recom mended a cutoff level below which medical examinations were not re quired. It was also proposed that monitoring could be dropped where monitoring experience had demonstrated the levels to be con sistently below the cutoff or where the asbestos had been properly modified by a bonding agent to prevent excessive dust. The revised standard proposed on October 9, 1975 follows the same general pattern but differs in the following critical points: I .The allowable exposure level is reduced to 5 fibers/cc long er than 5 micrometers ceiling and 0.5 fiber/cc longer than 5 micrometers time-weighted average (TWA). 2. Monitoring and record keep- ingrequirements are increased substantially although a pro vision to discontinue moni toring under certain cir cumstances is included. 3. There is no cutoff level on the medical examination require ment. OSHA has reviewed the recent medical literature on asbestos and has proposed regulations based on a very strict interpretation thereof. They have not assessed the eco nomic (inflationary) impact of the proposed regulations but have stated their intention to do so or certify that there is no impact be fore public hearings are started. The burden of proof has been placed on industry to demonstrate that these regulations are overly re strictive. There is no question that if they are promulgated as pro posed, they will place a very heavy burden on asbestos producers and users. Appropriate responses will be submitted by various segments of the asbestos industry and other interested parties. OSHA has stated in the Federal Register that the construction in dustry will not be covered by the newly proposed regulations. They will continue to operate under the present regulations until a new vertical standard for that industry is developed. This should not lead to a false sense of security, how ever, because the same medical conclusions on allowable exposure levels are applicable regardless of the industry where they occur. Al so, the OSHA health regulations are rapidly moving towards a fixed format that will embody all of the same basic concepts regardless of the substance being regulated. It should be noted that the develop ment of an asbestos standard for the construction industry is in prog ress and recommendations have been submitted to OSHA by the Advisory Committee for the Con struction Industry. PROPOSED OSHA REGULATIONSCRYSTALLINE SILICA Asbestos products do not consti tute the only potential health haz ard for the drywall industry. Tape joint muds contain crystalline silica which has long been recog nized as the cause of a disabling lung disease called silicosis. The National Institute for Occupa tional Safety and Health (NIOSH) has prepared a Criteria Document relating to occupational exposure to crystalline silica and submitted it to OSHA on November 11,1974. A proposed silica regulation has been drafted by OSHA and was to have been published during Sep tember 1975. The pressure on OSHA to prepare other regulations has delayed this publication but it will undoubtedly appear in a few months. NIOSH recommended an allow able maximum exposure level to airborne crystalline silica of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air (50gg/M3). Medical examinations, extensive monitoring, record keep ing, signs, warning labels, and oth er provisions similarto the asbestos regulations were also recom mended. An action level of one half the allowable exposure limit was also defined as a cutoff point below which the regulations would not apply. 7 OSHA REGULATIONS -- INERT OR NUISANCE DUST Table G-3 of Section 1910.93 of the OSHA regulations as revised on lune 7, 1972 lists the maximum allowable airborne concentrations of inert or nuisance dust as 5 milli grams/cubic meter (mg/M3) in the respirable fraction and 15 mg/M3 in the total dust. If a dust is below the allowable levels for asbestos and silica but above that for nui sance dust, the regulations have been violated. This regulation has been les> widely publicized than those for asbestos and silica but has been in effect for a number of vears. It must also be considered when job-site dust conditions are examined COMPOSITION OF TAPE JOINT COMPOUNDS Tape joint mud, either dry in bags or already mixed in five-gallon containers, is a well-known ma terial at the job site. Few appli cators realize, however, what goes into a mud and how carefully the ingredients must be balanced to give the critical blend of properties necessary to make the mud work properly during application and after it has dried. The ingredients in a typical ready-mix tape joint compound are listed below: COMPOSITION OF TYPICAL READY-MIX TJC Percent by Weight Ingredient Wet Dry Basis Basis Water 31 -- Limestone 41 60 Mica (and Clay) 16 23 Binder 7 10 Asbestos 3. 4 Miscellaneous 2 3 100 100 Looking at the dry basis, which represents the condition when the mud is cured, it can be seen that the principle ingredient is lime stone. This is the bulk filler that keeps the cost of the product down. It does not impart any hand ling properties to the wet mud. The next largest ingredient is finely-ground mica which is in the form of tiny flat plates. These tend to form a loose structure in the wet mud and have an important bear ing on how the mud flows when trowelled and how it shrinks when it dries. The other mineral ingredient is asbestos. It is present at a level of 3-5% and performs the function of controlling shrinkage and crack ing when the mud dries. It is also very important to trowelling prop erties which allow the mud to form easily in thick sections and permits feathering of the wet edge. The most critical function of asbestos in most muds is to provide freezethaw stability. Muds which do not contain asbestos will generally be unusable after they have been frozen. The binder in ready-mix is usu ally vinyl acetate, while casein, starch, or a similar "glue" is used in the dry mixes. It cures to hold the compound rigid and firmly at tached to the wall. The miscellaneous ingredients include such items as additives, fungicides, surfactants, cellulosic thickeners, and proprietary mate rials. These are important ingredi ents but will not overcome the effects of an improperly balanced blend of major components. A compounder who wishes to formulate a mud without asbestos will have to replace it with a ma terial that will impart similar prop erties. The mica can be increased or some other fiber-like material, such as certain clays, may also be used. Additional cellulosic thick ener to give the necessary viscosity is also likely to be required. This has a tendencv to make the vis cosity unstable, i e., correct at the plant when manufactured but either too high nr too low when the mud arrives at the job site. The reformulation problem be comes much more complicated when silica is considered. Four dif ferent limestones commonly used in the manufacture of T]C have been analyzed for crystalline sili ca content and found to range from 0.3 to 2%. Similarly, three different micas had silica contents of 2, 5, and 9%. While asbestos is usually free of crystalline silica, clays often contain substantial quantities. By proper selection of ingredi ents, it is possible to produce a mud with a silica content as low as 0.3%. Unless the low silica ingredients are readily available mud costs will increase. Since silica appears everywhere in nature, it is unlikely that a tape joint mud can be pre pared without detectable levels. If the proposed regulations are promulgated, workplace monitor ing can be extensive and a con siderable financial burden can be imposed on contractors. Eleven commercially available muds were found to contain from 0.3 to 2.5% of crystalline silica which is consistent with the silica content of the raw materials. Very few mud suppliers appear to be aware of the potential silica prob lem. It is well known that the major tape-joint compounders have had extensive research programs under way for the past several years to develop asbestos-free muds that work as well as those with asbes tos. So far, the programs have had limited success. The muds devel oped are more expensive and gen erally do not perform as well. The formulations now in use evolved to their present high-performance level over many years and it is, ob viously, difficult to replace the key functional ingredient.

A new and reg ular feature in DRYWALL. For Women Only" is designed and edited particular! v for those u omen who, in one wav or another, are involved in the Drvwall Industry. Lest the title deceive you...ue do invite our male readership to turn to this page also, for we feel it will provide valuable insight into an interested and concerned segment of the Industry whose activities and contributions to its general well-being cannot be discounted. Shaw once described a woman as "the female of the human spe cies, and not a different kind or animal." And with that in mind, we launch "For Women Onlv" with the philosophy that everyone in volved in the Drvwall Industrv shares in meeting its challenges and enjoying its successes, and that a growing awareness will better en able each person to accept the re sponsibilities of the task at hand. This feature will report on a vari ety of activities or women through out the Industry and will, from time to time, introduce to vou women of note in the Industry. Women in Construction. Industry Organize Job Placement Service A job Placement Service has been started by the National As sociation of Women in Construc tion. The placement service is an ex tension of a program undertaken by the association to expand edu cational and professional oppor tunities available to the members. There is no charge for the service, which has been established pri marily for the use of women who are relocating, along with those who are unable to find suitable em ployment. In reference to the role women are now playing in the construction industry, job placement coordi nator Vivian Turner points out that, "It is no longer a question of if or when to add women to the con struction industry working team, but of how."

Introducing NAWIC By Flelen Clifton Executive Vice President GDCI Ladies Auxiliary NAWIC, the National Associa tion of Women In Construction, is an organization of women working in the Construction Industry. The first NAWIC Chapter was founded September 11, 1953 in Fort Worth, Texas bv 16 women who are the original Charter Members. State and National Charters were granted in 1955. Today. NAWIC has some 200 Chapters located throughout the United States and a member ship of approximately 6,000, and in September 1975 held its 20th 12 National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Women who have been em ployed tor at least one year in any capacitv in the Construction Industrv or who own a business which provides services in this field are eligible for membership in NAWIC. Also, an associate mem bership classification, with dues payment to the local Chapter only, is available for women who have been so employed for less than one vear. There are no distinctions in membership as to the relative im portance of one woman's position compared to that of another. Thus, the membership embraces such varying positions as accountants, architects, building material sup pliers, construction company own ers, engineers, estimators, secretaries and trade journal repre sentatives. NAWIC is proud of the fact that over the past 10 years, 21 students have studied in such institutions of higher learnings as Columbia Uni versity. Georgia Institute of Tech nology, Northwest University and the University of Minnesota with the aid of scholarships given them by NAWIC through the National Merit Scholarship Corp., an inde pendent. non-profit organization, with funds from the NAWIC Founders Scholarship Foundation, NAWIC presents scholarships to students, male or female, entering construction-related courses of study such as architecture, engi neering or general contracting. The scholarship recipients are selected bv the Foundation Awards Com mittee after qualifying as a finalist on the Prelim inarvScholarsh ip Ap titude Test/National Merit Scholar ship Test, and attend colleges and universities across the nation. There are two types of Merit Schol arships: (1) $250.00 to.SI500.00 for a 4-vear program with option for continuance for 5-year programs; and (2) $1000.00 one-time award. The scholarship program is sup ported bv local NAWIC Chapter fund-raising and voluntary contri butions. A recent accomplishment of the association is implementation of its lob Placement Service, which is more fully outlined in the an nouncement appearing elsewhere on this page. At its National Con vention in the fall of 1974, NAWIC introduced a Special Committee to investigate the job placement pro gram. The Committee conducted a study to determine the usefulness of such a plan on the national level, presented a proposal to legal coun sel vet that fall and, by lanuary 1975, had received approval to pro ceed with the program from the State of Texas Commissioner of Labor and Director of Private Em ployment Agencies Division...with the stipulation that "no fee shall be extracted" from the member applicant and/or industrial firms. Now. after only nine months of de velopment, NAWIC Chapters throughout the nation are being urged to participate in the job Placement Service. NAWIC's annual Regional For ums in the spring and National Convention in the fall provide oc casions for learnings and growth, as well as opportunities for fellow ship, the renewal of old friendships and the making of new friends. And, although NAWIC is not a so cial organization, it does have its social events. Boss's Night is an annual occasion when the Chap ters honor their local employers, new members are welcomed formally and officers are elected annually and installed with impres sive ceremonies. If anv of the readers desire fur ther information about NAWIC membership and activities, I would be happy to correspond directly with you.

Because they're pre-engineered to get your project ready for use as HHHH f quickly as possible. Developed by U.S. Steel. Super-C Steel Joists and ||H Studs are roll-formed from hot-dipped galvanized steel. They're strong ^ (40,000 psi minimum yield point), so you can use wider spacing and fewer members (studs can be 24" on center). Wall sections can be prefabricated and installed quickly on-site. Both joists and studs are delivered pre-punched to speed plumbing and wiring. Some other advantages: they're made by independent steel fabricators around the country-- so you get fast delivery and technical help in your market area. Installed costs are surprisingly comparable to other materials. Among the reasons: no waste in the field, lower labor costs. Super-C members work well with any form of construction. Conventional deckings and wall materials are easily applied. Steel can't shrink, warp, or rot. Super-C Steel Studs stay straight for the life of the building. Mail this coupon for more facts. Well send you struc tural design booklets on both Super-C Joists and Studs -- with load span tables and all the information you need to start working with them.

The program, co chaired by CDCI Past Presidents C.E. Kallem and G.B. Reed, Jr., was dedicated to the SPIRIT OF '56 which witnessed the founding of Gypsum Drywall Contractors Inter national and to the recognition of those industry leaders in whom this spirit evoked the wisdom and support which nurtured the organ ization and growth of Gypsum Drywall Contractors International. Keynote speaker at the luncheon was Andrew |. Watt, whose timely remarks are published on this page. Following Watt's address, CDCI Chairman of the Board Herbert S. Reisenfeld and President T.J. Vogle presented plaques to those founders and industry leaders whose names, by Resolution, were inscribed intheGDCI Hall of Fame. Concluding the program was a round table discussion during which the founders and leaders present were invited to share their ideas about the SPIRIT OF '56 and its continuing vital role in the growth and progress of GDCI and the Drywall Industry. Andrew J. Watt Andrew J. Watt, Executive Vice President of United States Gypsum Company, joined U.S.G. as a sales manager in 1938. During World War II he served in the U.S. Air Force until 1945 when he returned to U.S.G. as a paint salesman in the Pittsburgh district. After per forming in a number of sales and marketing positions, he served as Vice President of Merchandising, Vice President of Advertising and Promotion, Vice President of Mar keting and as Senior Vice Presi dent. In 1962 he was elected to the Board of Directors and in 1969 he was designated an Executive Vice President. Watt is a director of A.P. Green Refractories Company, Mexico, Missouri, and Kinkead Industries, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, both U.S.G. subsidiaries. He is past president of the American Hardboard Asso ciation and the Gypsum Associa tion. CDCI Founders Day Luncheon Message Omaha (Nebraska) Hilton, October 2, 1975 I have been requested to keep the timing of this talk on the short side of 20 minutes, and the direc tion of it pointed to the "Spirit of '56." It is not possible to accept this invitation or to meet this request without some reservations. For some of us looking backward to 1956 could be nostalgic, and with nostalgia as a text the whole thing could turn into a sermon. In that connection I am re minded of a rather aged lady who had been a long time member of her community and her church. After the service one Sunday morn ing she shook hands with the min ister and commented, "That was a wonderful sermon --just wonder ful. Everything you said applies to someone I know." My fondest hope would be that each of you would take what I am going to say more personally than the aged lady, but even if I lead you to think it is good for others I will have fulfilled part of my pur pose. To set the stage I intend to quote in part from a speech I was privi leged to read some time ago. I do not want to be accused of plagiar ism so I will tell you that the speech was made by Walter B. Wriston, Chairman of the First National City Corporation, in February of 1974. "Anyone in our society whose eyesight and hearing are not to tally impaired is likely to believe that we are on a collision course with Doomsday. Certainly the energy shortage has produced no scarcity in the rhetoric of crisis. Considering the amount of time and space devoted to predictions of impending disaster, it would 22 appear that the media have sought to validate a variation of Gresham's law. Bad news drives out good. "The compulsion...to turn every scrap of bad news into a full-blown crisis distorts our per spective. It neglects to remind us that troubles may be news, but they are by no means new. This negative emphasis ignores the decisive role of human in genuity in a free society. .. "Prophets of doom have a sec ond weakness. They fail to ap preciate man s inherent abilitv to adjust and innovate. The Brit ish economist Thomas Malthus predicted in 1798 that the im balance between population growth and food production would cause the world to starve to death. The doomsayers called it Malthus' iron law. As time has proved, it was neither time nor law. Like many of our current crop of transient experts. Mal thus fell into the oldest trap of all in the prognostication game. He underestimated everyone's intelligence but his own; he was incapable of imagining that out of the Industrial Revolution would come reapers, threshers, combines and tractors. He did not foresee the era of cheap en ergy. Nor did he envision chemi cals and fertilizers creating such abundance that foolish govern ments would pay farmers not to cultivate the soil. "A third fault accounts for the inability of the doomsavers accurately to predict what will happen. They cling to the belief that there are accepted abso lutes in a world of rapidly chang ing value systems. As the French poet, Paul Valery, put it, we often tend to be marching backward into the future. "Examples abound. A Presiden tial commission appointed by Herbert Hoover in 1929 later re ported to Franklin D. Roosevelt on how to plot our course through 1952. The report was in 13 volumes prepared by 500 're searchers.' The summary re quired 1,600 pages. Yet there was not a word about atomic energy, jet propulsion, antibi otics, transistors or many other significant developments. The Worlds Fair of 1939, which was dedicated to the World of To morrow, not only failed to sug gest any of these advances, but did not even entertain the idea of space travel. Herman Kahn's opuson the year 2000 never men tioned pollution, nor was there any real emphasis on the energy shortage. The people who have come closest to predicting the future are some of the science fiction writers, unencumbered by elaborate research or pres tigious committees, but with the courage to dream. Jules Verne's wild imagination proved to be more prophetic than the calcu lations of Malthus. "Our later-day Malthusians, whose forecasts are often digni fied with computer print-outs, which substitute for ox entrails in modern day occult predic tion, appear oblivious to the fact that man, given the proper in centive and freedom to act, has repeatedly found substitutes for dwindling materials. The United States was denied 90 per cent of its sources of natural rubber during World War II, but technological ingenuity created synthetic rubber which is now more widely and flexibly used than the natural product. One of the most common substances in the world is bauxite, but it was not regarded as much of an asset until the way to make aluminum was perfected. Coal was not even considered a re source before the Steam Age, nor was uranium highly valued before the Atomic Age. Since the Industrial Revolution, resources have grown exponentially, step by step, with man's ability to apply fresh technology to his needs. These experiences of yes terday are relevant today. I do not assert that history repeats itself, but offer a reminder that the human story did not begin with today's crisis. "Energy is no exception. Few Americans ever remember that from the time of the American Revolution until the Civil War, a major source of artificial light ing was the whale oil lamp. No one should have needed a Con gressional commission to pre dict that the supply of whale oil could not forever keep pace with the demand of a growing nation. "The tragedy of our Civil War disrupted whale oil production and its price shot up to $2.55 a gallon, almost double what it had been in 1859. Naturally there were cries of profiteering and demands for Congress to 'do something about it.' The gov ernment, however, made no move to ration whale oil or to freeze its price, or to put a new tax on the 'excess profits' of the whalers who were benefiting from the increase in prices. In stead, prices were permitted to rise. The result, then as now, was predictable. Consumers be gan to use less whale oil and the whalers invested more money in new ways to increase their productivity. Meanwhile men with vision and capital be gan to develop kerosene and other petroleum products. The first practical generator for out door electric lights was built in 1875. By 1896 the price of whale oil had dropped to 40 cents a gallon. Whale oil lamps were no longer in vogue; they sit now in museums to remind 23 us ot the impermanence of cri About one-half of the 1,257,000 and they are just as fundamentally sis.

Perhaps we have for gotten in 1956-- --There was no GDCI. --There was no GDCI Magazine. -- There were no regional vice presidents nor committees. -- There was no estimating text book. -- There was no water resistant gypsum board. -- There were no partition sound transmission tests. --There were no drvwall screws. --There was no adhesive applica tion. -- There were very few sophisti cated applicator tools. -- Gypsum Board as a liner for ele vator shaft walls was not even being considered. --There was no Gypsum Associa tion Fire Design Manual. -- Vaughan Walls were about the only movable gypsum partition. Any one of you could add to this list from your own recollections and experience. Those of us who have grown older, grayer, and I believe wiser in the pursuit of a better industry, have proven on numerous occa sions that our hindsight is better than our foresight. But those di rectors and off icers --some no longer with us--who started this organization had a pretty solid visionary idea. Those of you who now carry the responsibility on younger and newer shoulders owe those people something--even if it's only faith in the future--and by that I particularly mean the fu ture of GDCI. I cannot assert that history will necessarily repeat it self and that this industry will grow at the same rate in the next 20 years as it did in the past 20, but I offer the reminder that the GDCI story did not begin in a. particularly comfortable climate. You have heard the story of St. Peter standing at the entrance of the Pearly Gates passing on poten tial entrants. The first one that showed up said he was an archi tect, and St Peter told him to re port to the Devil. The second one that showed up was a general con tractor. St. Peter told him his first stop should be in Hades. The third one that showed up identified him self as a drywall contractor. St. Peter invited him in with the com ment, "Come in, son, you've been through Hell already." Some of you may feel --"I've served my time as a driving force in this organization" --let someone else take the grief. Some of you may feel--what's the use of organizing, we have ours --let the other guy struggle. Some whom you approach to be members may say, "Look, I'm too small to be part of GDCI"--they can't help me. Toany with such a state of mind, may I remind you, that there are real problems that might take away what you have. These problems are being dreamed up daily by government agencies, do-gooder groups, and even misinformed and innocent members of the industry --whether OSHA --ASTM or our selves. These problems are the type that defy solution by an in dividual. These problems demand industry consideration and treat ment on an unselfish and ethical basis. The two basic objectives are still sound. The methods of accomplish ment will change just as the oppor tunity will change. It has been pointed out that a man's age can be revealed by the degree of pain he feels when he comes in contact with a new idea. New methods, new products, new markets do make trouble --but they also make new opportunities. It is easy to dodge our responsi bilities, but it is not easy to dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. Drywall con tractors have established them selves as a responsible part of the construction industry --but such a reputation must be carefully guarded and nurtured by continu ous ethical standards, knowledge, and performance. It's what we learn after we think we know it all that truly counts. The possibility always exists that the fellow who joins this industry tomorrow may have a better idea than any of us. If I were to leave you with one suggestion that would strengthen your organization, it would be-- consider the value of exchange of ideas with those groups and or ganizations who represent the users. The home builders, the archi tects, the general contractors may at times look and act like the en emy to some of you, but they are the customers. Successful handling of customers depends nearly 100% on the ability to solve their prob lems, satisfy their needs, or fulfill their wants. The recognition of the strength of your organization will not rise or fall on such con tacts, but it does provide the op portunity for input and output be yond the scope of that which you gain from each other.

When was the last time vou (or have vou ever) explained to vour employees just what "good work manship" means to you; should mean to them; and, most impor tantly, what it means to the con sumer? Chances are that educating or re-educating your applicators and finishers is the last item on your list of important things to do. And yet, the largest single item on the cost side of the ledger sheet is labor. "Workmanship," good or bad, is the result of labor; and this can be the single factor which will determine your next opportunity to do another job. Every job/contract you have ever accepted requires or implies that "all work shall be performed in a (good) workmanship like man ner." This phrase was recently de fined as being: "Gypsum board walls and ceilings completely in stalled by those who understand the full installation requirements." The individual who works smart, who understands not only what is required, but whv, is the worker who will do the best job for you -- make the most money for vou and himself. The day of hiring strong backs and weak minds to install and finish wallboard is gone unless you choose to invite failure of your business. The two key phrases in the def inition of "good workmanship" are "completely install" and -"'under stand full installation require ments." Although the phrases are somewhat redundant, they do have a subtle difference. The first phrase says what you do. and the second one tells why. What to "completely install" covers every piece of material re quired to do the job. This includes board of the correct dimensions; fasteners of the proper size; tight fitting cut-outs; the right number of fasteners properly spaced; anv auxiliary items such as cornerbeads, track or studs aligned straight and true; and, finally, the tape and finish compound applied in such a manner that the next craft will not have to touch up or "complete" your work assignment. Simple? Yes, but do you really knowthat your employees are makingthe"complete" installation? Do your superintendents really under stand what is required to have a "complete" installation? If every one has this knowledge, then they "understand the full installation requirements." They know, for ex ample, that when a house is retro fitted with as much as 10 to 15 inches of insulation in the attic area, that the ceiling will support the load because enough proper fasteners were used in each sheet; that when additional insulation is blown into sidewalls of existing houses, the sidewall panels will not loosen or blow off the framing; that, in case of fire, no fire, fumes, or smoke will find its way from one compartment to the next because they sealed all air passageways around light boxes, air ducts, and the top, bottom, and sides of a par tition wall; that fire will be blocked in the attic area of row houses be cause the gypsum board barrier was installed tight to the under side of the roof and all fire stops were permanently put in the right spaces; that adjoining bathrooms are isolated from each other with properly installed gypsum board; that back-to-back kitchens have no common voids which either fire or unwanted noise can pene trate; that service rooms are sealed off with board which fits snugly around piping; that the right thick ness and (core) type of board was used properly placed over framing members to achieve a specific fire rating. These are some of the basics which go to make up the "under standing of full installation require ments." You can think of many more. Others have talked before about what good workmanship was, but did that information get down the line to the man who ac tually does the work? If not, why not consider talking to your super visors so that they, in turn, can pass it along to the rest of your workmen? ' Did you ever stop to add up the money you might save on call backs if your employees knew why they were to do the job correctly the first time? If it comes out to more than a dollar fifty you owe meone! Money spent on correcting avoidable mistakes just goes down a rat hole, forces you to bid higher to cover this cost, and doesn't do your image with your customers one bit of good. "Good workmanship" to your employees might mean a bonus plus the satisfaction of knowing that the work was done right the first time. Perhaps they would get an ego trip knowing that they may have helped save someone's life, or at least made the owner proud to have people see the good work manship he paid for and received. The consumer (and all of us are consumers) has every right to de mand and receive good workman ship. They (we) are the ones who have to pay the final bill. Would you continue to pay for poor ser vice or products? No? Well, let's go to work to be sure our customers are not asked to pay for something we would not pay for ourselves. Let's "fully install" all of our work with the understanding that we are doing the job right and we can be proud of our "good workmanship." 27 DRY WALL PDI System Clips* ON Save STEEL 45% Labor GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK NO COLUMN PREPARATION No Steel Studs No Pins No Cartridges No Shots - No Windows to Cut PDI SYSTEM CLIPS Just snap them on with your bare hands and start erecting board Rush Inquiries to: PARKER DEVICES.

How ever, we cannot too often repeat that, if we are to solve the prob lems facing us in these turbulent times, we must all work together to understand the nature of our age and the world in which we live. Many of the problems affecti ng our Industry today stem from very ba sic roots. We have created a society founded on science and tech nology, yet have not found a mean ingful place for many of the vounger generation nor success fully employed the abilities of a large part of the older generation. We are in a crisis over values and aims of our culture; our efforts have been centered on materialism and striving for world leadership, rather than concentrating on values and the full development of human resources in our homes and in our own communities. As surely as day follows night, it is an in escapable fact that we are all af fected by the events of our times. There is no longer a place to run and hide, and we cannot afford to accept complacency or trust in the security of our owm backyards. We must take responsibility for more than our own concerns so that each person may have the opportunity to develop his own potential for good and thereby strengthen the entire nation. We must, in short, be motivated toward involvement. You ask what CDCI will do for you? It will do what you ask of it and demand of it, for you as a member do indeed have a voice. The association has now been in existence some 20 years and is recognized as the spokesman of the Drywall Industry, both by gov ernment and those within the In dustry. So let's all get involved... let's not be like a shot from a 16 ga. shotgun, but let's be a cannon ball, moving through the halls of Congress and showing that our In dustry is a unified group from one end of the nation to the other and spanning the seas. For, if you don't get involved, the new laws and regulations, the growing lack of concern for quality, the steadily de creasing productivity rate and the escalating prices will eventually put your Industry--and you--out of the market. And sooner than you may think, one morning you will awake to find another product in its stead. Not reasonable, you say? Then, isn't it reasonable that you, who have made a living from this great Industry, should con tribute to the well-being of that Industry and stand shoulder-toshoulder with confidence, 6,000strong across the nation and throughout the world, to assure that the Drywall Industry does en dure and willcontinue to make this world a better place in which to live, work and play? ^--------- Howard R. Leederman Editor (Continued from page 8 ) ASBESTOS EXPOSURE IN THE TAPE JOINT INDUSTRY The tape joint industry had their attention drawn forcibly to the as bestos standard in the Spring of 1974. A group at Mt. Sinai Hospital, led by Dr. Selikoff, announced the results of a study of 59 tapers who were members of Local Union 1974, Drywall Tapers and Pointers of Greater New York. The fiber counts found during sanding were generally very high and one long time worker in the industry had a clearly recognizable case of lung fibrosis. The same data were trans mitted to NIOSH who issued an alert to the industry. At the time of this publicity, a major supplier of asbestos and oth er products to tape joint compound manufacturers had collected dust count samples during sanding at two locations in Florida. In con trast to the New York City results, the fiber levels found were low and well within the regulations. A pos sible reason for the difference can be found in the application and sanding conditions, i.e., hand-tool applied and heavily sanded in New York City compared with Ames tools and light sanding in Florida. The question of different work practices was pursued further with various contractors. It was found that the amount of sanding done varied widely, even within a geo graphical area. It depended on the way the mud was applied, i.e., Ames vs. hand tools, the skill of the operator running the mud, the type of finishing coat to be applied to the wall, the size and quality of the job, i.e., custom or "mass production," the amount of venti lation. and the personal preference of the contractor. In addition to these mechanical factors, different mud formulations appeared to vary widely in their tendency to gener ate dust when sanded. In general sanding was minimized to reduce costs. It was obvious that more infor mation from other parts of the country was needed to better de fine the levels of asbestos exposure to be expected. With the assistance of the CDCI and the excellent co operation of various individual contractors, field tests have now been run in New York, Texas, Michigan, and Minnesota. The New York, Michigan, and Minnesota sites were carefully selected to cov er as wide a range as possible in the "intensity" of the sanding op eration. Conditions varied from one man sanding lightly to three men sanding heavily in the same apartment. The New York tests al so provide information on hand tool application. In addition to as bestos tests, air samples were collected at several of the locations to check the airborne concentra tion of crystalline silica (quartz) in the respirable fraction of the dust. The results of these tests will be presented in the January-February Issue. 30 No asbestos Gold Bond announces a complete line of asbestos-free dry and Ready-Mixed joint compounds, plus spray texture products.
