"(a) Attendance at meetings of the SOCIETY is
limited to registered persons. "(6) All persons in registering at meetings of the SOCIETY shall state whether or not they are members of the SOCIETY and, if not. whether they are chemists or chemical engineers. "(c) American chemists or chemical engineers, nonmembers of the SOCIETY attending meetings of the SOCIETY, shall assist in
the support of the facilities which they enjoy by paving a higher registration fee than members. This differential at general meetings shall be $5.00 higher than the fee charged members; while at regional and divisional meetings it shall be at least twice the regular fee adopted. They shall be furnished with a special nonmember badge to differentiate them from members of the SOCIETY and from foreign and nonchemist guests. The differential charged shall not apply to regularly matriculated students majoring in chemistry or chemical engineering at any college or university. "(9) Meetings are normally open to all registrants, but any session may be closed to nonmembers of the SOCIETY by order of the President."

Attention! Group of Local Section Officers HE Group of Local Section Officers T will hold its breakfast Tuesday morning, of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
portunity to see the manufacturing opera tions and also the new research labora tories.
Trade Association Research HIS report covers a survey of the re search activities of a number of trade T associations, authorized b y the Associa
tion of American Soap and Glycerine Producers as a part of its research project. From a list of 2408 trade associations (Selected Trade Associations of the United States: 1937) prepared by the Department of Commerce a group of 60 associations was selected, and questionnaires were sent to them asking for information on the type of research conducted and where it was being done. Of the 56.7 per cent reply ing, 53 per cent sponsored research.

Attendance and so it was assumed that the activities were evenly divided when work was re at the breakfast is highly desirable. ported as beingdone in more than one place.
Division o f Rubber Chemistry HE Executive Committee of the Division of Rubber Chemistry T has cancelled plans for a meeting in
Milwaukee. This action was ne cessitated by receipt of insuffi cient papers to assure an adequate well-balanced program. Members of the division are requested to give immediate consideration to material for the Baltimore meeting. Election of officers for 1939 will be conducted by mail in Septem ber.
For the Food Processor, as well as for the College Instructor, recently enacted Federal Legislation Focuses Attention on the WACO Electrolytic Apparatus for Lead Content of Foods Determinations as a Necessary Precaution in Food and Drug Manufacture. Complete Semi-Micro Apparatus and the popular WACO Separators will be shown. The new KWSZ Photometer, as developed by Dr. H. R. Kraybill and Associates, at Purdue University will be of keen interest, we are certain.

Since the list of associations examined was rather select, probably the percentage of those maintaining their own laboratories is somewhat higher than t h e average. These data are based on the replies of only 18 associations and therefore should not be considered as necessarily represen tative of all associations.
