Tangible indicators . -jns fact are increased demands by industry upon Industrial Hygiene --'ountiaiion, and upon all public and private agencies, for plant hygiene sur\ ys and advice; a substantial increase in Foundation membership; increased Mention to healthful working conditions in labor relations; and sharp inrvases in the sales of respirators, welding helmets and other personal pro activTehierqtyu-itphmreeentc. ompanies and employer associations joined the Foundation luring the year, bringing the total membership to 256. Meanwhile, 21 more p\-derai and State agencies, branches of the Army and Navy, universities, ,nc., subscribed to the Foundation's publications. This brings the number of subscribers to 60.

Wellman Company Plant Surveys Approximately 50 hygiene surveys were conducted in plants of member companies during the year, ranging in length from several days to several weeks. These investigations were in addition to a score of short plant visits and inspections in helping companies control noxious and obnoxious expos ures in workplaces. Some of the survey work not only eliminated possible health hazards, or disagreeable working conditions, but also introduced sub stantial operating economies. To illustrate, controlling the exposure in one plant effected a saving in the use of a solvent; in another factory the amount of a toxic gas required in a casting operation was reduced; in still another instance a corrosion problem was solved. These examples show some of the added benefits of industrial hygiene applied by scientists and engineers with practical experience in industrial operations. Supplemental benefits are improvements in labor relations. In one Plant the Foundation averted a work stoppage by reducing the concentration of an irritating dust to reasonable limits.
