1964 ANNUAL REPORT INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION MELLON INSTITUTE 4400 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, INC. MINUTES MEETING OF MEMBERS Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania October 21, 1964 The Annual Meeting of the Members of the Industrial Hygiene Founda tion of America, Inc. was held at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, October 21, 1964, at 11:20 a.m. pursuant to notice. Mr. E. K. Davison, Chairman of the Board of Trustees presided. Mr. T.C. Waters, who had been previously appointed by the Chairman to examine the proxies, reported that there were 155 companies represented by proxies that were in proper form and fully executed. On motion made and seconded, the proxies were approved. The member companies represented by proxy or in person constituted a quorum. A list of the member companies represented by proxies and a copy of the notice of the meeting and proxy sent to all members of the Corporation are on file in the Minute Book. Since there were no objections or corrections to the minutes which were mailed to all member companies following the October 23, 1963 meeting, a motion was passed to dispense with the reading of the minutes. The Chairman stated that the Minute Book was available and open at the meeting for inspection by members. Mr. Andrew Fletcher read the following statement in memory of Dr. A. J. Lanza: . "In Memory of Anthony J. Lanza Industrial Hygiene Foundation 19 35- 1959 It is a privilege to be asked to honor the late Dr. Anthony J. Lanza by presenting a Resolution for adoption at this 29th Annual Meeting of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation. "Tony" Lanza, as he was affectionately known by his many friends, was one of the original founders of the Air Hygiene Foundation. Professor Philip Drinker, who is also to be honored today, participated with Dr. Lanza in the early discussions as to the advisability of forming an association for the study and lessening of the hazards of silicosis and other airborne diseases. We should not, however, overlook the active part and constructive ! so freely extended bv Dr. Roy Gardner of Saranac Laboratories, and by Dr. ...ward R. Weidlein, President of Mellon Institute, without whose guidance and financial assistance the Air Hygiene Foundation would not have been organized in 1935. The name of this Association was changed in 1941 to the Industrial Hygiene Foundation. Meeting of Members. October 21, 1964 Dr. Drinker brought to the Industrial Hygiene Foundation the mind of 3- critical scientist, a background education in chemical engineering, and above all, an interest in applying his knowledge and techniques of engineering for the benefit of the working man. His activities in the application of engineering prin ciples to medical problems were already famous because of his invention of the Drinker Respirator and his distinguished editorship of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene & Toxicology. In the formation of the Foundation, as in this Journal, Professor Drinker emphasized the importance of bringing together the chemical, physical, engineering, -and medical .disc iplines. Dr. Drinker was associated with the Harvard Medical School and the School of Public Health, beginning in 1922. In 1936, he became Professor of Industrial Hygiene, a position which he held until his retirement in I960. Through his teaching, he has had a great influence in setting high standards of education and high ideals in the field of industrial health which were reflected in the acti vities of the Foundation under his direction; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Board of Trustees and the membership of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation wish to honor Professor Drinker and to express their'appreciation of the important contribution which he made to the organization and work of the Foundation by nominating him as Trustee Emeri tus of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation; and IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED THAT This resolution be placed in the minutes of meeting and that a copy be sent to Dr. Drinker. " A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously carried that this resolu tion be adopted. Mr. Andrew Kalmykow read the resolution proposing Mr. Theodore C. Waters for election as Trustee Emeritus; "Theodore C. Waters has, for many years, performed outstanding ser vice for the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc. and he was one of the original incorporators and directors of said Foundation and has served as its General Counsel since 1941 and a member of its Board of Trustees ; and WHEREAS He is and has been a member of the Legal Committee of said Foundation and its predecessor, the Air Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc. , since. 1936-and Chairman of its Legal Committee since 1941 ; and "* WHEREAS He is a distinguished member of the Maryland Bar which he has graced both as an active practitioner and a professor of law and has long been one of the outstanding authorities in the United States on the subject of occupa tional disease legislation and litigation and has written widely on tl^ese subjects.

There being no other nominations, a motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously that the persons named in the report of the Nominating Committee be elected to serve on the Board of Trustees for the year 1965. The Chemical-Toxicological Chairman, Dr. Treon, reported that the Chem-Tox Committee has assisted in preparation of the Management and ChemTox Conferences of the 29th Annual Meeting and has also assisted in programs . designed to develop improved reporting of industrial clinical toxicological experi ence arising out of use of toxic materials in industry. An example of this is the discussional on phosgene held on September 17 at Mellon Institute, out of which need for further research in the field and laboratory were identified. Representa tives of the Medical and Engineering Committees were invited and participated in this meeting. Plans are also underway to attempt to develop short-term exposure information and to validate threshold limit values, including that for phosgene, under conditions of use. During the year. Dr. Emil A. Pfitzer of the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and visiting fellow of Mellon Institute was appointed secretary of the Chem-Tox Committee. Mr. James M. McNerney, former secretary, left the Foundation to accept a position in industry. Dr. John Zapp was appointed co-chairman of the Committee. Membership of the Committee now includes: Dr. Charles P.

In addition, the Engineering Committee met to re-evaluate its activity in line with the responsibilities suggested by the Policy and Planning Committee. It was the Committee's consensus that additional emphasis should be placed on holding small informal meetings among Industrial Hygiene Foundation members to discuss pr-ob-Lems of special interest. Accordingly, the Engineering Committee sponsored two such meetings, one relating to air pollution problems associated with oven exhaust, and the other to the need for additiohatTEforTiva-tiua^. data for different age groups in order to compare noise-exposed populations to non-exposed populations. In addition to the above, the Engineering Committee has undertaken the sponsorship of a yearly discussionai of about two days' duration to deal with the topmost industrial hygiene engineering problems at the time. It will be limited to member companies. The program subject material will vary from year to year and care will be taken to prevent any conflict with the objectives of the annual meeting. The first discussional, which will be held in January or February of 1965, wiLl cover select areas in air pollution, noise and heat stress. { ! Other officers of the Engineering Committee are: H. Wilbur Speicher, co-chairman, and William J. Schreibeis, secretary. Membership includes: R. J. Beaman, Jr. Samuel H. Thomas !I The Procter & Gamble Co. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. W. H.

Out of each of these meetings have come indications for needed research in the laboratory and/or the plant. The Committee also assisted in the NISA Health and Safety .. Seminar, out of which has developed several areas of possible Foundation assis tance to small plant occupational health programs. The Medical Committee has also lent support to the Foundation's nursing education experiment and toward the development of a fellowship program in occupational medicine at Mellon Institute.

Sander Marquette University Dr. S. D. Steiner General Motors Corporation Mrs. Jean W. Gray reported for the Chairman of the Nursing Committee, Mrs. Jane Lee. The Nursing Committee was formed in 1963 to help supervise performance of a single but significant task: To explore means for improving competence of nurses in counseling workers with emotional problems. An experi mental.course entitled: "Employee Mental Health and Industrial Nursing Practices" was developed and conducted in 1964.. Supervisory nurses from member companies of the Foundation were invited to attend. There are nine participants; eight from industry and one from the National Institutes of Health. The course consisted of a continuation of study which began with a six-day group session in June. Study ma ( terials and oroject work were applied on-the-job by participants betjween June and October. A final group session ox two days will be held here, at the Institute be ginning tomorrow. From visits by the faculty with each member of the course in _'.^ee*ins of Members. October 2 1, 1964 her work situation and from evaluation of written project materials, there are many evidences of change in nursing practices and knowledge. ~ A remarkable feature of the project has been that of voluntary contribu tions of many talents and time squeezed out of fully committed schedules of people with other full-time jobs. Through cooperative efforts of the Managing Director of the Industrial Hygiene Fojundation and the Chief, Division of Occupational Health, U.S. Public Health Service, I have been assigned the task of planning and directing the course with the administrative assistance and support of the InaTi9rri?ai--Hy-gi&ne Foundation. Consultation, actual teaching, and hours of developmental work have been contributed by members of the Nursing Committee, the faculty of University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, Western Psychiatric Institute, Ameri can Institute for Research, and psychiatrists from U.S. Steel and Jones & Laughiin Steel. Encouraging these efforts, and sometimes counseling or listening to us were Trustees of the Foundation and other executives of its member companies. An immediate beneficial effect of the course is the interest of its partici pants, some of whom are also members of the Nursing Committee, in more de finitive identification of functions of nurses related to employee mental health and in developing methods to improve practice in those functions. In other words, mem ber companies of the Foundation now have a nucleus of nurse leaders who, in sharing one approach to the solution of a problem, may continue to combine their talents in a more effective problem solving. Results of the-ir efforts would be potentially avail able to all member companies. Belief in worth of the tasks undertaken has been the principle source of support, for we have had no visible budget. We are now confident of having defined an approach that will merit far greater effort"--and indeed, more visible and tangible support. Miss Bedonna Jacobs has served as secretary of the Committee and mem bers other than myself and the chairman are: Dorothy L. Dean Jones & Laughiin Steel Corp. Vivian M. Hatfield Trans World Airlines Jeanne T. Healey Western Electric Company Helen K. Kunzler United States Steel Corp. Winifred McLanahan University of Pittsburgh, GSPH Adele C. Miller General Electric Company Alda H. Sica United States Steel Corp. In the absence of the treasurer (because of illness), Mr. Davison preser. the treasurer's report. He reviewed the estimated financial picture for 1964, ca attention to the need to balance the Foundation's budget in 1965if the programs o research and education planned are to proceed. In 1963, it was noted that we sh ar.ticioate an operational deficit in 1964 to allow Dr. deTreville to help the Four.' make the transition into more active programs of research and service for the c Meeting of Members, October 2 1, 1964 of its members and of industry generally. The 1964 budget anticipated a $15,000 deficit unless the money could be developec from dues. It appears that there has been only a slight increase in dues; also expected income from Engineering ser vices has materialized only about 15%, so that the combined deficit may be well over $20,000. With limited financial reserves, obviously the Foundation cannot tolerate such deficits over another year or two. It would be impossible to further reduce the Foundation's professional and technical staff without greatly curtailing functions of the Foundation. Additional factors include pension benefits and com petent "back up" for certain of the present Foundation's staff. These important matters will be discussed in a meeting of Trustees'later in-the dayr=3fhe.m-emhership will be advised of progress and of ways in which it may b4 of help. Mr. Davison announced that a year's end financial report will be made to the Board of Trustees after the first of the year. (See page 10). Mr. Davison next called on Dr. deTreville for the Managing Director's report: Dr. deTreville read from a proof of a Guest Editorial on the Foundation from the Journal of Occupational Medicine (JOM), to illustrate widespread recog nition of the importance of programs planned for the Foundation from 1965-1970. (This editorial appeared in the December, 1964 issue of JOM. A reprint is attached). He further stated that each of the programs planned had been suggested by management representatives in the Foundation's membership and that the work outlined is expected to produce considerable benefit to the Foundation's member ship and to industry generally. He indicated his intention to ask member companies to provide support for introduction of the new programs beginning in 1965. With a firm basis of sup port in its membership, the Foundation can make even greater contributions to the advancement' of healthful working conditions in industry in the future. There was no discussion, and no further business. The meeting was adjourned at 12:10 p.m. by the Chairman. I Editorial Reprinted from Journal or Occtrationai. ^Lrdici>'* Vol. 6. No. 12.
