Quean Elisabeth Hotel Montreal, Canada April 3-4, 1949 fi 2 fi 11 I I "fi" REPORT OF THE SECRETARY t The fact that this is our 40th Annual Meeting suggests e brief review of our very beginnings and early days. Things have sure changed but there has been a lot of stability. Organised on November 14, 1928, with an Underwriting fund of $10,000 subscribed to by 8 companies, the concept was so well received by the industry that within six Months, 38 companies had beccae members. And, within that same period the Underwriters were reimbursed in full. At least IS companies have retained their membership through the years with the probability that there are others whose corporate identity has been changed or merged with other members. All of the Underwriting Companies are still members and these arei American Metal Climax, Inc. American Smelting & Refining Co. The Bunker Hill Co. Cominco, Ltd. International Smelting a Refining Co. Rational Lead Co. St. Joseph Lead Co. U.S. Smelting, Refining 6 Mining Co. . Others who were members from the start aret The Anaconda Co. Cerro Sales Corp. Eagle Picher Industries, Inc. Federated Metals Div. of A.8. & >. Hecla Mining Co. Remington Arms Co. (now du Pont) Winchester Repeating Arms Co. (now Olin Mathleson) Something strange happened for which Z can find no explanation, Cominco was an Underwriter, was reimbursed, but then was not listed on the membership rolls until a number of years later. Perhaps we were a lot more provincial in those days. Another, and probably more important growth indicator, is that the current rate ox expenditures per month exceeds the total of the annual budgets for the first two years of ths Association's existence.

Annual Meeting Minutes of LIA April 3-4, 1964 Secretary's Report -2- EXHIBIT *B* Surprisingly enough, in going through the record*, I found that the LIA in 1939-40-41 and part of 1942 had a major consumer advertising campaign on white lead paint with expenditures of around $225,000 a year. Such magazines as Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Better Homes & Cardens, American Home and Country Gentlemen were used. in retrospect, it would appear from a first glance at the figures on white lead consumption that the campaign had very little effect. However, the War came along at the peat of the effort and it was discontinued apparently, not by the choice of the industry, but by Government controls on lead usage. I like to think, however, that the campaign had some effect on the general population because of a consumer survey made by LIA several years ago. Among the questions asked was `What are some of the uses made of the substance lead.* Lead for paints was by far the first choice of the more than 2,100 interviews. Unfortunately, the second largest use given was lead pencils. Perhaps the industry is due for another consumer campaign to educate the man in the street on lead's Importance to his well-being. I know that Jack Kimberley will agree with me if I take a SK>ment to compliment the staff on its continued loyalty, its skill and knowledge of the job all of them are doing and their willingness to take on more and more responsibility. You have heard from Connel Baker, Don Powler and Ed Martin. The others are, and I will ask each of them to stand up as I call their Jerry Smith - whose areas of responsibility are many including ceramics, solder, pigments, and who also serves as my assistant. Jim Roumas - LIA's assistant director of Health and Safety who is doing a fine job in a very difficult area. Kilt Emerson - the newest member of our staff who takes care of our direct mail services, trade shows and movie distribution, among other things.  US" jmm i III!

Jack McAward who served aa our advertising manager. Jack left us at the and of the year. There are, of course, othera - accountants, clarka and aacratariaa who help to make the whole thing click. Their aid and asaiatanca ia invaluable. j i ) | i I have talked about the ataff but it ia moat important to point out that the cooperation al1 of ua get from the members ia invaluable. Your financial aupport ia important, of couraa, but even more important ia the advice and counsel freely given to all of us when we meat with you. Your technical assistance when needed, your sound and construc tive advice on what'a going on in the market place and most important the time and effort your staffs expend for the benefit of the Associa tion and the industry. LIA's promotional activities during 1967 were at a slightly increased level compared to 1966, with no basic changes in end-product promotion. The Association continued its efforts to expand present markets in building construction, industrial type batteries, power cable, paints, ceramics, solder and terne. Also to find and expand o new markets such aa lead for sound attenuation, lead piezoelectrics, other lead ceramics, and the organolead compounds currently being developed by ILZRO. A growing and substantially defensive and educational program being conducted by LIA is the Health and Safety campaign, described in some detail this morning. As was pointed out. there is no evidence, medical or otherwise, that lead in the quantities found in the ambient atmosphere now or in the foreseeable future, is or will be dangerous to public health. Despite this, however, the push to remove lead from gasoline continues as a constant threat with one new and insidious method proposed - to tax leaded gasoline. This approach was recently suggested in Sweden and My very well be picked up elsewhere. In LIA's promotion and development efforts, we believs we are using every means available. These includei Technical service, in person, by telephone and correspondence Direct Mail Space Advertising Exhibits at trade shows Speakers at user-related meetings Material test programs Motion pictures m <tr. MHMmmiieeau. Annual Heating Minute* of LIA April 3-4, 1968 Secretary*a Report -4- EXHIBIT `B* In conjunction with our normal technical aervice program, LXA ia conducting and expect* to expand our development and teat program*. The ataff ia looking particularly in area* where market* are or may be in difficulty becauae of out-of-date practice* and/or improper procedure*. Alao, in area* where lead ia not now uaed, but, becauae of ita properties, ahould be considered. The direct mail program forma the baa* to which all other effort* are related. Direct mail include* diatribution of LEAD magazine, Lead Abatracta" from London, booklets prepared and designed for specific applications of lead, and technical articles reprinted from the trad* press. LXA*a space advertising program is designed to reach as many decision-making people aa possible. For example, the industrial battery ads appear in "Business Week" to reach the decision-making company executive, in "Materials Handling Engineering" to reach the man most responsible for the selection of material handling equipment, in "Purchasing Magazine" to reach the Purchasing Agents, and in "Electrified Industry" a national publication adapted in many versions to meet local needs and distributed by electric utility companies to their industrial customers. LXA's other advertising program* are handled in much the same manneri Program Magazine Peed Architecture 4 Construction Business Week, Architectural Record, Engineering Hews Record, Arch. 4 Engr.

Each ad also points out that further information is available from headquarters and this has been most effective in bringing in thousands of inquiries. LIA firmly believes in exhibits at trade shows for the oppor tunity they afford for personal discussions between the staff and the user or potential user of lead. Very frequently, the staff finishes these shows with a better knowledge of where lead is being used, the problems connected with its use and, most importantly, the satisfaction of having been helpful to a consumer with a problem. Trade shows at which LIA had exhibits during 1967 werei Plant Engineering & Maintenance Show Design Engineering Show Construction Specification Institute Exposition National Plumbing Exposition Chemical Industries Exposition LIA's film, "The Lead Matrix," continues to be very popular with the commercial distribution and audiences as followsi Croups Showings Audience General and Professional 2,500 130,000 Television 109 2,420,000 Late in 1967, the film was modified to edit out all commercial names and references and was accepted by the O.S. Bureau of Mines for its film libraryt 250 prints were placed in their nationwide distribu tion system. Distribution began early this year and from the prosipt comments of the Bureau, great things can be expected. LIA also prepared a 2-1/2 minute film from "The Lead Matrix" for incorporation in a 12-1/2 minute film designed specifically for television. Titled, "The Paradox of Lead," it is combined with segments of four other industrial pictures. Completed late last year, there were nine showings in 1967 and in January and February, this year, 11 more. k mminwjpi* 'mrr LIA21297 r**-. o 0 e W Annual Meeting Minutes of LIA Aprll 3-4, 1963 Secretary's Report -6- EXHIBIT *B* gTATlgT.ipa Early In tha yaar, a committee was appointed by the Board to review LIA'a statistics.
