428 JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS Council, and the following were elected :--Mr. E. K. Clarke, Dr. H. W. Hibbott, and Dr. J. J. Mausner. A complete list of Hon. Officers and Committees for 1964/1965 was published in January 1965 (J. 16 1). Meetings of the Council were held in each month, except August, October and January, and all the committees and sub-committees met a • frequent intervals. It is now clear that only persons who are regularly able to devote time to the Society should offer themselves for election. Mr. S. J. Bush, Immediate Past-President, retires from Council at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, after five years' continuous and devoted service. The Society is fortunate that Mr. Bush will continue to serve on some of the committees, and that he has agreed to arrange the scientific programme for one of the 1966 symposia. The following also retire from Council after two years' service: Mr. R. E. Eckton, Mr. R. F. L. Thomas, Mr. N. J. Van Abbr. Mr. Van Abb• has agreed to look after the scientific programme of the other 1966 sym- posium. Council is appreciative of the service given by these gentlemen during their term of office, particularly Mr. Thomas who resides in York- shire but has attended most Council meetings. 14. The Future Council is of the opinion that the range of activities outlined above is indicative of the progress made by the Society during the current year. Council further believes that progress will continue to be made, particularly if some of the projects now under consideration bear fruit, e.g. Council feels that more attention should be paid to public relations. It is also felt that steps should be taken to devise ways and means of encouraging the submission of original work for possible publication in the Journal, and of improving the standard of the papers given at symposia and lectures.
