DIVISION ASSISTANCE TO T H E PEACE CORPS
The Society has offered through Peace Corps headquarters in Washington to assist the Corps in overseas areas where chemical questions arise. T h e Division is participating in this activity by supplying information to a Peace Corps volunteer in Bolivia and has offered its services wherever else Corps volunteers make pertinent requests. Although several local sections have participated in this program, ours is the first Division to do SO.
