 A Tra.e Associrtion of concrete positivee vclue has be-en unlkno.n in
this Industrv e'-ce' -oerhaxps the one dealing only vith collective egree-
ments. Just 1'-r they existed even in nriL me is hard, to understand, for not
being herd minded so to soeah, this industry -o-.i' not f.deouately support

 The hand bo,% Code Authocitr- directorate-.ent far afield in their
woiz, appreciating the need of building a close!ry '-nit industry, cement-
ing reletionshipos between sources of supplI7 and tfaeir own grou., and be-

realized 1hov much ni-'it and could. be accomplished under their Code set
up.

never have thought of such tings, least of all realized their need.

 Given another year of o eration this group wouldd have found itself,
would have knovn itself, T"ould h,-v.? intrenched itself, would have become
fully conscious of their need of such knowledge and of the unity that
sprin,-s from it. Evidence in the Code Authoritr files clearly indicate
the gsins made.
