Briefly this is on a tonnage basis with lead minersj smelters and refinersj manufacturers of lead products: and makers of cable, batteries and ammunition participating in a ratio of L-1-2-J respectively oer ton. However, as the Association entered into various industry development activities etch development program was financed by whatever method seemed equitable at the time, resulting in each program haring a different ratio of participation by the different groups involved and different manufacturers participating in different activities. About two years ago an Industry Development Fund was established by the producers of pig lead only, to be used strictly for the purpose its name implies. As a result, starting with 1?57 all industry development activities are financed O solely from this fund and companies which are strictly miners of lead ores or manufacturers of lead products aro no longer asked to subscribe to Industry develop ment activities. We believe that this has been a distinctly progressive step offering the Association greater flexibility 1a its operations. Nevertheless, its success will depsend upn continued support of the manufacturers of lead products, who are in closest touch with the industries to which we are promoting the -use of -v lead, by giving the Association the valuable benefit of their knowledge of th6ss industries and the assistance of their trained personnel, as they have in the past, in such work as that of the Red Lead Technical Committee, Ceramics Technical Committee, Solder Committee, Cable Committee, Technical Steering Comlttea, and others. Over the last 30 years the per capita consumption of lead in the U, S, has declined roughly J lb, from slightly over IS lb, in the last half of the prosperous 1920 decade to a little over lii.S lb. in the first half of the pros perous 1950 deoeda. On the basis of present population this represents a loss of over 60,000 tons of lead consumed pier year. Since World War II supplies of lead available to U, S, oonsunera have averaged about 100,000 tons p>er year in excess of industrial demand, the difference going mainly to Government stockpiling. It appears that If per capita consumption of lead could be raised to the level of the late '20's, supply and demand would strike s close balanoe. However, por ar.prf.ta changes in consumption have not been uniform through out the various uses of load, White lead, foil and cable sheath for example, hare shown major deolincs but tetraothyl lead, storage batteries, solder and oxides for uses other than hatteries, have shown major inerooses, and nuclear radiation shield ing has beoome an entirely new field on which no datasre available. To close the gap between supply and Industrial decun d obviously requires an approach to the j 'nm h \ N 1767.01 k iw i ^jiufiiji.:tu jji (.JftiNL M^ LIA21A19 ' Annual Report -2- for the Tear 1956 probloo over a broad front. Efforts oust be made, where possible, to keep the use of load in the growth industries growing end to increase less important uses and find new once. It is also probable that those Industries whioh have shown major losses will level off, some because there is little more to lose, like whits load and foil, and some, like cable sheathing, whioh have already shown a leveling off tendency since the last war and ere still sizable oonsvnars. Recognizing that there is a good possibility of closing the gap between supply and Industrial demand and the variety of products involved, the Association in the last few years has both increased its market development activities end broadened their base to Include more products and industries. Today we are promoting lead througha greater varuety of sales promotion and research activities than ever before but there are still many more opportunities and the industry oan never afford to become complacent. There is always the possibllty that some day an Industry using substantial amounts of lead now may follow the path of white lead and foil. Major 1956 activities of the L.I.A. are sumorlzed hers and mors details will be found in the reports of the various Divisions and Committees presented at the Annual Meeting, GENERAL 1. In 1956 we circulated over 350,000 pieces of literature, 2. Headquarters wore moved to Joint 5pact with the American Zinc Instltuve. 3. A successful annual meeting was held in St. Lads, including a half-day session held Jointly with tbs Zinc Institute, It, Our magazine LEAD was re-established as a quarterly publication with tho mailing list at about 50,000, 5, Annual review articles on lead were written for "Engineering t Mining Journal," "Iron Age," "Stool," the Tear Book of the American Bureau of Metal Statisties, end "Industrial Sc Engineering Chemistry." 6, Chapters on lead were prepared for the encyclopedia Americana and for an economls geography textbook edited by a Dartmouth professor, 7, Statistical services wers oontlnued without major change* 6. "Information Bulletins" wers sent to mombers about ones a month. HEALTH AMD SAEETT Further progress was made toward substantially increasing the American Standard for maximum acceptable limits for load in tho air of work places, Loglslatlvs proposals bearing on lead hazards, including warning labeling, wers followed and protested whore deuied advisable. 3, Pasoarch on ohildhood load poisoning has oontlnued and oloss relations have been maintained with health authorities and pediatricians In prlnolpal cities. Annual Report -3- tot the Tear 1956 0 It, The paper delivered by Dr. R. T, Johnstone at our annual meeting was distributed among industrial executives, physicians and hygienists. The interest has bees ana ting. $, Three Health and Safety Bulletins were mailed to members, 6. The Manufacturing Cheuists1 Association has been alerted to the adverse implica tions to industrial chemicals, including lead compounds, inherent in the pharmacy laws of mary states, 7. To mirdrite hardship to members, assistance was rendered to the New Jersey Health Department in preparing forms for the required reporting of lead poisoning, 8. Publications relative to lead hazards have been watched and, where warranted, the attention of authors has been called to unduly adverse tctenants. METALLIC LEAD PRODUCTS 1, Our solder Committee is nearing eomplctlon of the Soldering Handbook, 0 2, Two Lead Building Construction Bulletins, a new aorlos, were distributed to scoe 35,000 exchitoots, builders and plwberw, 3, A Judge end demonstrator were supplied for the annual international plumbers* apprenticeship contest and instructor training course, U.

Over 1,300 mors copies of our taxt boob for plumbers' apprentices were sold, 7. The usual field work with plumbers, builders, architects, and city officials was oontinuod. 8. Revision of the chapter on Load for the American Chemical Society Monograph on Corrosion of Metals was virtually completed. ?, A paper on non-destructive testing of lead was printed in three leading trade journals and reprints circulated to maabers and the chemical industry, 10, Threo Chemical Construction Bulletins were distributed during the year, 11, Ve delivered the lecture on lead at a symposium on Corrosion Control in Industry sponsored by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers. Q 12, For the sixth oor.seoutlvs year two lectures on Lead as an Engineering Materiel were delivered before graduate students of Newark Colligo of Engineering, RES LEAD 1.
