Ag and Food Division Forms Flavor Subdivision New group will present panel discussion on problems in flavor chem research at Phoenix meeting
continuously!
Eco GEARCHEM® pumps provide continuous, non-pulsating evacuation or circulation of small flows in high vacuum systems to 10 3 Torrs. Temperatures to 450 F. It makes no difference if fluids are nonlubricating types or if viscosities are high or low. These Eco gear pumps are surprisingly low priced for such difficult service. Equipped with single or double mechanical seals, they are suitable for conventional or submerged mounting. They are available in stainless steels, Hastelloy C or B, Monel or nickel. If you already have an Eco gear pump, you can adapt it for vacuum service at very low cost. To evacuate small flows continuously or intermittently from high vacuum systems, investigate Eco gear pumps today. Simply return the coupon below.
Flavor chemists are invited to join the new Flavor Subdivision of the ACS Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Established by the division at its meeting in Atlantic City in September, the new subdivision will serve chemists interested in flavors, aromas, and related subjects. The chemical aspects of flavors and aromas, precursor systems, identification and evaluation of flavor compounds, and physiological effects are among the topics which will receive attention at meetings and symposiums sponsored by the subdivision. Chairman of the new group is Dr. Irwin Hornstein of the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Md. Dr. Emily Wick of MIT is chairmanelect.
Since flavor chemists are commodity-oriented, they often present their research findings at meetings where chemistry is of secondary importance, says Dr. Hornstein. The new subdivision was organized by the parent division to provide a means for flavor chemists to discuss with other chemists problems common to their respective research interests. Flavor chemistry was the topic of a one and one-half day symposium of the Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry at the Society's meeting in Detroit last spring. A full program of papers on flavor chemistry is planned for the ACS national meeting in New York next fall. At the ACS winter meeting in Phoenix next month, the flavor subdivision will present a panel discussion on current problems in flavor chemistry research. Participating in the meeting will be Dr. Edgar A. Day of International Flavors and Fragrances, Inc.; Dr. John E. Hodge of USDA's Northern Regional Laboratories; Dr. W. G. Jennings of the University of California, Davis; Dr. Charles Merritt, Jr., of the U.S. Army (Natick, Mass.) Laboratories; Dr. Roy Teranishi of USD A at Albany, Calif.; and Dr.

To Marsand back A manned round trip to Mars requires velocity increments far in excess of those achieved by chemical rockets. The high exhaust velocities obtainable from nuclear rockets make them a favored contender for this application. That's why Los Alamos was asked to use the great stores of human energy and creative imagination in its unique community of science to develop nuclear powered rockets—the kind which can take man to Mars and back. Phoebus 2, now being developed, will be the most powerful nuclear propulsion reactor ever built. The project needs the talents of physical chemists, radiochemists, inorganic chemists, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, nuclear engineers, control engineers, engineering physicists, nuclear physicists, materials scientists, mathematicians, metallurgists and others. If you would like to be a part of this pioneering effort, we would like to hear from you. Write Director of Personnel, Div. 65-122. (Because of the unique nature of our mission, employees must be U. S. citizens.)

Wick. Dr. Hornstein will be the moderator. Chemists may join the Flavor Subdivision by joining the parent division (dues are $2.00 a year for ACS members and $4.00 a year for non-ACS members) and expressing a wish to become a member of the subdivision. Interested persons should contact Anne Neilson, Secretary, Flavor Subdivision, Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, ACS, Arthur D. Little, Inc., Acorn Park, Cambridge, Mass. 02140.
Academic Openings In Chemistry The fall edition of "Academic Openings in Chemistry" is now available. Recent innovations in the listing, such as academic positions in Canadian institutions, announcement of postdoctoral openings, and an alphabetical listing by states of colleges and universities which have positions in chemistry and biochemistry are included. "Academic Openings" also lists several faculty positions in chemical engineering. Copies of the fall issue have been sent to each four-year college and university department of chemistry, chemical engineering, and biochemistry in the U.S. and to 53 four-year institutions in Canada; to ACS local section chairmen and secretaries, and to ACS division secretaries. It will be sent to junior colleges on request. Single copies of this edition also are available to individuals on request to the ACS Educational Secretary, 1155 16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
Appointments Dr. B. R. Stanerson, Executive Secretary of the American Chemical Society, represented ACS at the dedication of the new headquarters building of the Food and Drug Administration on Nov. 23. Maurice E. Clark, of the Indiana Section, represented the Society at the ground-breaking ceremonies for construction of a new science building at Taylor University, Upland, Ind., on Nov. 29. Dr. A. L. Alexander of the Washington Section will be the Society's representative at the inauguration of the president of Montgomery Junior College and dedication of the campus in Rockville, Md., on Dec. 11.
If You Cannot Continue Your Membership. . . ACS members who feel they must drop out of the Society at the end of 1965 should do so by resigning and not simply by ignoring their 1966 obligations. In accordance with the Bylaws, all who fail to resign promptly will be carried on the rolls in 1966 as members and will be responsible for dues. Future difficulties and the payment of a reinstatement fee can be avoided only if resignation is received in headquarters before Dec. 31.
