Food for Thought When hungry chemists gather for

the ACS Banquet at Atlantic City Sept. 18, they can rest assured that their taste buds are in for a treat. Catering for the affair is in the experienced hands of D . F. McCaUister and Sons of Philadelphia.

McCaUister thinks nothing of cater­ing to 6000 or more people in a single sitting, has served Presidents Truman and Eisenhower when they were guests at Philadelphia affairs. It has handled events ranging from plant openings and ship commissionings to stockholders meetings and political functions, even catered on Hitler's yacht when it was brought to this coun­try to be dismanded.

Although McCaUisters usuaUy con­fines its activities within a 60-mile ra­dius of Philadelphia, since its founding over 60 years ago—the firm is still under the same family management—it has built up a nationwide reputation and was the subject of a piece in Saturday Evening Post a few years ago. It gets requests from throughout the country for the recipe of its famous snapper soup. Another of its specialties: egg nog sherbet.

For the AGS Banquet in the ball­room of Atlantic City's convention hall, McCaUister expects to have a staff of 40 to 50 chefs, waiters, and other

persons on hand, aU brought from Philadelphia by chartered bus and under the supervision of Roy W . Mur-ray, a son-in-law of the firm's founder.

From Our Files—25 Years Ago • The process developed b y F. C.

Bersworth Laboratories for dbe pro­duction of ethylenediamine is now in commercial operation on a fairly large scale; ethylenediamine may be ob­tained in any quantity and at a suffi­ciently low cost to permit commercial chemists to investigate it with a view to using it in regular process "work.

• In December 1930 the cracked gasoline produced in the Unitecl States for the first time exceeded -40% of total output.
