The 31st Annual Meeting and follow-up activities should help attract a much larger sample of industry into membership, and in this respect, members can be of great assistance to the Board of Trustees and the Membership Com mittee (Chaired by Mr. Douglas Soutar, American Smelting Refining Company). Attached is a copy of a new Membership Information Brochure which contains a list of members. We are pleased to announce the addition of four new members during the past quarter: Sinclair-Koppers Company, Hanford Occupational Health Foundation, Laundry and Cleaners Allied Trade Association and Asbestos Textile Institute.
