This Includes one cS the oldest Decbere which bad resigned early in 1950 due to adverse business conditions but whoso resignation had never been accepted hr the Board and vhich has since resuaed active participation in the Association*a affairs. Two resig nations were received during the year, one was made with the highest praise for the Association but eltb the reason that its lead busineas had beeose such a snail part of its overall business as to make membershlp not worthwhile, Ihe other felt that the slcable Increase in its aesbership subscription was disproportionate with the benefits that it was able to derive Iran the Association A grsph is attached showing the total number of seabers in tha Association for the years 19h0 to 1950 inclusive. Also plotted are the total expenditures of the Association in each of these years and the Ordinary Fund expenditures. In the fane graph will also be found the average total cost per member and the average Ordinary Fund cost per neaber. re believe that this graph dcaonstrstes that despite the many varied activities of the Association and the rising cost of doing bus iness, the affairs of the Association hare been conservatively managed. STATISTICS Several leportant changes wera made in tha Association's statistical services during 1950. The Association published far years weekly reports of pig lead sales of prinary daaestle producers. About mid-year this repert was changed to a monthly basis and is now issued about five days after the dose of the month. Another change in this report was that form erly sales were broken down )th by types of sales contracts and by grades. The breakdown on typos of sales contracts has been eliminated. At the request of tbs lead and Zinc subcommittee of the National Minerals Advisory Council, the Association returned reports on Labor supply data. Or.e report gives labor supply infonutlon about domestic lead and sine mines. This report is compiled and distributed jointly by the Aseriosn Zino Institute and ourselves and Is produced In the L.I.A. offlogs. \ 'i. - * -: 'i .a ,.; vr;:jl>1 l^g-* "1 m* l u 2s22 rr<ri -arrf-itiflfc. * Annual Meetlngi -2- May 17-IB, 1951 A alallar report was also Inaugurated in 1950 covering labor supply information on primary aaaltert aol refineries.

Seven load Hygiene and Safety Billetins were issued during the year, HJiirms amp PUBLicmaa In addition to tho bulletins and publications described under specific promotion progress, the Association issued tho following la 1950s Six Information Bulletins were circulated to Members to bring news articles, patents and other material, that eight not other wise be teen, to their attention, Four issues of our magazine, LEAD, were published as against Otwo in 1?U9, then such a shortage of lead existed. The mailing list for this publication is not approximately 35,000. This magazine continues to be an invaluable medium far arousing interest in load and each issue results in scores of inquiries for assistance in tho use of tho metal. Eleven Defense Bulletins, mentioned in "Gaverment Sciaticas* were circulated to members, paoaonom Acrmrns Because there was a surplus of lead during the first half of 1950 at the beginning of the year it was decided to step up the AssoelaVfon's promotional activities. This seemed particularly necess ary due to tho curtailed basis on which most of these activities had been conducted In 19h9, when an acvto shortage of lead existed. Metallic load Products Program A detailed report of this program was mailed to members of the Metallic Lead Products Division late in 1950, This program had been operating more or lees on a skeleton basis in 19149 and early 1950, but during the spring of 1950 it was decided to expand it considerably, A auaaary of tho mare important activities weroi 1, Since Sopteabor 15 two field men have conducted the plumbing and water works prcaotion instead of one.

An article on formulation and application of Modern red lead baso prlacr paints was prepared for publication in tho January, 1951 issue of Paint and Varnish Production,* and 12,000 roprlata of tho article wero distributed. 5. Late la the year arrangecents were made to circulate periodically to acaber aanufaeturers lists of individuals, with cotpangr affiliation and position, who request literature or asaiatanoa. iu The 0. S. Havy adopted Bureau of Ships poratla 119, Prlner, Vinyl-Red Lead Typo. Although this is an optional specification it will naan the uso of a considerable amount of rod lead point and has been written into a lillitary Specification designated as P-15929 (Ships). 5. Thousands of gallons of Navy Red Load Formula 116, adoptod in 19lt9, wore nanufacturod and used by tho Navy in 1950 to maintain weather exposed areas of ships. 6. The Rod Lead Technical Ccxrdtteo has planned a new research pregraa with the cin of proving the superiority of red lead over other types of plantations in vinyl systems. 7. Periodic inspections of two cooperative paint projects were aado during tho year in tho caapany of personnel of the Bureau of Ships, Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Fhlladclphia Naval Shipyard. In the project sponsered by the Philadelphia Shipyard several rod lead systems havo been ratod superior to caapotitlve control systems after 18 months at the two teat sites. In the project initiated ty tho Norfolk lard two red lead ayatosa havo boon aherm to bo generally superior te the ether 19 systems on test after 21i months at the five test sites. 8. Flold visits were contlmod to federal agencies such aa etato highway departments, utility ccmpanles, paint companies and others. liary inquiries reccivod aa a result of our publications led te pers cull follow-ups. me?* "t t LIA20P27 0 .3 9, To aalntoin contacts with manufacturers, speciftors and uaera of paint, a number of conventions woro attended, including tho American Sodoty for Testing tutorials, Federation of Faint and tarnish Production Clubs, and tho National Assoolaticn of Corrosion Engineers* 10* la aontlonod in tho aootion of this report on "Load Hyglono" considerable work was dono to prove tho harmlessnesa of rod load paint nado in accordance with Federal Specification TT-P-86a, Type IT as a coating for tho insido of potablo eater tanks. This resulted in o chengs nee in proeoss in tho Federal Specification to rsaonro any restriction on tho uao of red lead paint for that purpose. 11. Inspootions and data tabulations were eentlmiod on aaao 1,500 test spoeiaens originally caposod in September, 19US at five widely scattered goographic loeationa. This atnoopherle exposure progran should eventually produeo seno valuable infernaticn for th pro motion of red lead and for our own and members' guidance in paint f emulation. Thltc Lead Program In aeeerdcnec with tho decision nado two years ago, tho vvk of the educational Scrvico Idvls ion, which proaotod white lead through tho vocational agricultural schools and vwterans training classes, was conducted on a curtailed basis with funds on band. It consisted primarily of servicing the 1,000 paint study cabinets rrtdch the Assoc iation has in the field. Kr. Sen Critchfiold, who had conducted this work earlier, was retained on a fee basic. He was given pomission In l?li9 to have our book, "Painting Fare Buildings and Squlfsant" reprinted as his expense. Also, at his <rn expense, ho built and sold paint study cabinets for the veterans awf;rn training program. At no expense to tho Association other than tho coderate retainer fee, Mr. Critchficld serviecd the vocational agricultural paint stu.y cabinets, put la use 5,000 veterans paint training cabinets and sold ncro than 100,000 of tho book "Painting Fans Buildings end Emiipmont." TMc believe that this has boon a remarkable amount of publicity for shito lead paints at relatively little cost. Early in 1950 tho producers of white lend in tho Association docldcd upon a pranotlonal progran to paint manufacturers, using the funds ranlining from tho coMu&cr white lead advertising enapalgn terminated during the war. The prograa was started in July, with technical advertising in half a dozen paint trade pepara. Herb was also started on tho preparation of a technical booklet for tho uso of paint nanufacturers, end it la expected that this booklet will soon bs printed. It is, of course, too ocrly to ovnluato this prograa, which was originally laid out to run for a couplo of years. Indications aro, hwovor, that the advertising has boon well reocived so far and has created favorable comment in tho trade. *OXt i t rr-r fgw--i**ww f LIA20828 Amia I Mooting!

This the Association has attempted to do in its activities, discarding outsoded progress and parts of programs and incorporating new ideas and activities where th<7 seen werrantod* Tho Association has never att--spted or recoaondcd progress purely for the sake of asking itself bigger or nore isportant* It has bout quick to discontinue activities that no longer cecse4 worth tho acncy or effort.
