Pulp and Paper Alumni To Meet in New York

T h e growth of t h e University of Maine's new Pulp and Paper Foundation will be the principal topic for discussion at the annual meeting of University of Maine Pulp and Paper Alumni at the Biltmore Hotel in New York Citv, Wednesday noon, F e b . 21 .

Announcement of the establishing of the new foundation, which is designed to step up the university's training and research programs and to attract and develop young men for ult imate management responsibili­ties, was first made at t he last annual meet­ing of this group. Since that time thp foundation has gained national attention, with memberships having been subscribed by many leading companies and individuals in the pulp and paper field.

Metropoli tan Long Island Subsection to Hold Meeting-in-Miniature

T h e second annual meeting-in-miniature of the Metropolitan Long Island subsec­tion of the New York Section of ACS will be held in Brooklyn during the morning and afternoon of Friday, March 16, 1951. Laboratories located in and chemists re­siding in t h e Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island area are invited to contribute pa­pers in the following fields: organic, inor­ganic, physical, analytical, biochemical, chemical engineering, polymer chemistry, and chemical education. At least one author of each paper should be a mem­ber of the A M E R I C A N C H E M I C A L SOCIETY.

Each chemist desiring to present a paper should send the title, a u t h o r ( s ) , and a short abstract of approximately 200 words to the chairman of t he program commit­tee: Maxwell L . Eidinoff, Depar tment of Chemistry, Queens College Flushing. Ν. Υ. This information must be received by Jan. 26, 1951.

Peter Debye will address the entire meeting in the evening. Λ social hour will follow his address.

Program Announced For Conference on Industrial Personnel

T h e presentation and discussion of eight broad phases of modern personnel ad­ministration will make up the program of the 1951 Conference on Industrial Per­sonnel, to be held by the depar tment of industrial engineering, Columbia Univer­sity, March 19 to 23.

T h e conference, which will be at tended by personnel executives and foremen rep­resenting some 50 industrial concerns, comprises five days of morning and after­noon sessions, and three evening meetings. Included are lectures and demonstrations, joint discussions between personnel execu­tives and foremen, round-table panel meetings, and clinic sessions. With em­phasis on "why it works," une! τ the head­ing of "The Frontiers of Personnel Ad­ministration," t he eight general topics to be presented a re : communications, design for communications, the theory of joint participation, the practice of joint partici­pation, occupational guidance in industry, budgeting of employment, personnel and

the community, and flexibility and toler­ances in personnel systems.

The final session of the conference will be a summation of the work of the groups and an endeavor to mold various tech­niques and procedures discussed into prac­tical patterns. It is hoped that those at­tending the conference, as well as others who may receive published proceedings, will have set up for them a working guide and pattern of x^rocedures to use in apply -mg newer and successful techniques to their own individual problems.

Instrumentation for Iron and Steel Industry

The Pittsburgh section of the Instru­ment Society of America and the Carnegie Institute of Technology are planning a two-day conference on instrumentation foi the iron and steel industry to be held in Pittsburgh on March 28 and 29. Cooper­ating with the sponsor organizations will be the local chapters of the AMERICAN C H E M I C A L SOCIETY, American Institute ot Electrical Engineers, American Insti tute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engi­neers, American Society for Metals, Ameri­can Society for Testing Materials, Ameri­can Welding Society, the Association ot Iron and Steel Engineers, and the Engi­neers Society of Western Pennsylvania.

Sugar Analysis Committee Wi l l Meet in Boston

The United States National Committee of the International Commission for Uni­form Methods of Sugar Analysis will hold its 1951 session in Boston, Mass., April 5 and 6. The date was chosen to concur witii the meeting of the Sugar Division of the AMERICAN C H E M I C A L SOCIETY.

The committee is a member of the In­ternational Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis, which was founded in 1897 for f he purpose of es­tablishing uniform mediods for the analy­sis of sugar and sugar products t raded internationally. The work of the organiza­tion has been expanded to cover prac­tically every phase of sugar analysis.

When you pick up an Eastman Organic Chemical bottle these days, you see a new label that gives the structural formula and the formula weight. We're pretty sure you'll find it helpful in eliminat­ing the confusion over identity and position of groupings that often arises from variations in nomenclature. It should also save you the time required to look up or calculate molecular weight.

A white label indicates "Eastman" grade, the highest in purity. Yellow means "Practical" grade, sufficient in purity for most lab­oratory synthesis. A blue label ("Technical") goes on high-grade commercial compounds.

The purity of the more than 3400 Eastman Organic Chemicals is actually checked in many ways, but a statement of melting or boiling ranges, obtained by actual measurement in our control laboratory, is what we believe to be most generally informative. That's the way we do it in our catalog. The latest issue is List No. 37. If you don't have a copy, you'll do well to send for it without delay.
