Gordon Research Conferences T h e Gordon Research Conferences

for 1958 wi l l b e h e l d June 9 t o Aug. 2 9 at Colby Junior Col lege in N e w Lon­don, Ν . Η . , N e w Hampton School in N e w H a m p t o n , Ν . Η. , and Kimball Union A c a d e m y , Meriden, Ν . Η.

The conferences were established to stimulate research in universities, foun­dations, a n d industrial laboratories. It is customary to h a v e an informal type

of meeting in surroundings conducive to free discussion after scheduled lec­tures. Meet ings are held mornings and evenings and the afternoons can b e spent in discussion groups. Thus , infor­mation and ideas can b e disseminated in a way not open through normal chan­nels of publ icat ion and scientific meet­ings. Also, scientists in related fields can form valuable associations.

• Association of Consulting Chemists and Chemical Engineers, 50 East 41st St., New York 17, Ν. Υ., is inviting con­sulting chemists and chemical engineers of all free countries to write to ACCCE (in English and on letterheads) on problems where American know-how is needed, or on new technological devel­opments in their countries. The asso­ciation will direct such correspondence to the proper channels and reciprocal actions may be expected from ACCCE members.

• The 1958 International Conference on Semiconductors will be held at the University of Rochester, Rochester, Ν! Υ., Aug. 18 to 22.

All correspondence, including abstracts and manuscripts, should go to M. H . Hebb, P . O. Box 1088, Schenec­tady, Ν. Υ. Applications to attend should be sent in by May 1.

• The XXXIst International Congress of Industrial Chemistry will be held in Liege, Belgium, Sept. 7 to 20. I t is organized jointly by the Société de Chimie Industrielle and the Federation of Belgian Chemical Industries.

• Rubber Chemical Salesmen's Asso­ciation of Akron, Inc., has been organ­ized. Its object is to promote salesman­ship as a profession and the over-all de­velopment and improvement of rubber chemical salesmen. Ernest L. Puskas of Thiokol Chemical has been named president; Frank E. Bell of B. F . Goodrich Chemical, v.p.; Dewey R.

Butt of Standard Oil, treasurer; John W. Shrontz, Harwick Standard Chemi­cal, secretary. Meetings are held monthly.

. . . a mildly alkaline solid; intermediate, catalyst, corrosion inhibitor—

SODIUM METHYL CARBONATE Sodium Methyl Carbonate, CHeOCOONa, is practically insoluble in many organic liquids, but is remarkably soluble in ethylene glycol axid an glycerine. A relatively unknown and unexplored compound, it has an unusual combination of organic and in­organic properties.

Applications research on Sodium Methyl Carbonate continues at oui* la.boiratories. Some present and potential uses are: as an intermediate for preparing salicylates, ethylene carbonate, and benzyl carbonates; to neutralize weak acids; as a carbon dioxide source; t o catalyze the alcoholysis of polyvinyl esters and glyc-erides; ajid to inhibit corrosion of anti-freeze cans. Write for Technical Bulletin C-910.

G O O D REASON Why —

COORS is the best buy

FINEST QUALITY

Scientific materials and equipment, regardless of price, must possess properties to justify their use. No amount of advertising or promo­tion can gain scientific recognition for a pioduct that will not perform its function psroperly.

Scientists bavœ favored Coors Por­celain for over forty years because they know from trieir own experi­ence that the qmlity of Coors Por­celain is constantly maintained and improved. Each piece carries a real guarantee that is consistently upheld.

The continuing program of devel­opment and xesearch keeps Coors ahead of t he field so that Coors can provide tlie very finest product for the modern laboratory.

For maximum resistance to thermal shock, refractoriness and inertness to corrosive reagents, for accuracy of dimension and carefulness of workmanship — American made Coors scientific and industrial cer­amics are the finest available in the world today.
