Society of Cosmetic Chemists of Great Britain 1966 DINNER AND DANCE Dr. G. Cartiere, D.Sc. (Unilever N.V., Rotterdam), Central Coordinator for Legi[slation of the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists, was the Guest of Honour at the Society's Annual Dinner and Dance. This year it was held at the Europa Hotel, London, where a large number of members and their friends spent an enjoyable evening together. The toast of the guests was proposed by the President, who mentioned that the Society, although still small and young, was a respected one. He felt that the objects of the Foundersinto establish and maintain the status of the cosmetic chemist--were being achieved, and that this was evidenced by the value placed on the Journal, Symposia and the Diploma Course. Mr. Clark was glad to welcome a number of guests including Mr. Seager, representing the T.P.F., and his wife. In introducing Dr. Cartiere, Mr• Clark praised his linguistic abilities and his wit as an after-dinner speaker. Dr. Cartiere replied to the toast in a humorous vein, drawing upon his many experiences in Europe and America over a period of two years, during which he had lectured on cosmetic legislation. He emphasized the importance of a combined effort by manufacturers and scientists on com- mittees considering legislation of this nature. 1966 PROGRAMME LECTURE: Wednesday, 13th April.
