HARRISON E . H O W E , EDITOR
Industries Parade for t h e New York Meeting OPPORTUNITY W I L L B E A F F O R D E D t o visit a number of plants
and laboratories of outstanding interest from the viewpoint of modern technology a s well as of chemical history. Because of the unprecedented number of chemists expected to attend the tercentenary meeting, a unique plan of decentralization has been adopted by the committee in charge of plant visits. Heretofore these have been arranged for all who attend, regardless of their specialized interest and affiliation with the different scientific and technical divisions of the SOCIETY. For this meeting, all plans and arrangements have been made b y divisional representatives who assume t h e responsibility for selecting the plant visits of major interest and of most convenience in relation to t h e divi sional meetings. For those members w h o do not have definite affiliation with any of the divisions of the SOCIETY, a limited number of general trips have been provided. Emphatic attention should b e directed t o the fact that the number who can participate in a n y of these plant visits must necessarily be restricted to the transportation and plant facilities available. Accordingly a definite limit must be placed o n each of the forty or more trips, and as soon as requests exceed that num ber, tickets will no longer be available. For this reason, a letter addressed to your divisional representative at the address noted below is one desirable means of making sure that a ticket is set aside for you. For those who do n o t wish to make a n advance reservation for their plant visits, t h e committee has adopted the following arrangement: As each member of the SOCIETY registers, he will be given a small pamphlet in which are listed by number all the trips planned for the different divisions. T o this booklet will be attached a card on which the member indicates first his divisional affiliation (Industrial Division, Cellulose Division, etc.) and, sec ond, the two plant visits he desires to make, preferably with his own division. This return card is then turned in at the plant visits desk in the Registration Room and the member will receive
two tickets providing free transportation to and from most of the )lants and laboratories on the list. For a limited number of Beacon, N . Y., etc., a charge will be made to cover extra transportation involved. A few of the plante and laboratories can b e reached more conveniently b y subway. T o make certain t h a t you will b e included with your division, it is suggested that y o u communicate with your divisional repre sentative on the Plant Visits Committee. To make advance registration for the general trips o r for further information about the plan and procedure outlined here, address t h e committee chairman, S. D . Kirkpatrick, 24th Floor, 330 West 42nd St., N e w York, Ν . Υ .
