ANNUAL REPORT 1966-67 65 tions from the Societies of several other countries are for consideration at the next Council meeting. The June 1966 Council discussed the testing of products on humans, the standardisation of raw materials, the role of the scientist in industry and Common Market and other international legislation. City © Guilds of London Institute (Society's representative: Dr. T. J. Elliott) The Institute has set up an exploratory committee for courses in cosmetology and beauty therapy. It has requested various interested bodies to provide representatives and the Society has appointed its Hon- orary Education Secretary to represent it on this committee. British Standards Institution The Society has appointed Dr. Mausner as its representative on com- mittee CHE/50 dealing with the standards for powdered materials. ANNUAL DINNER AND DANCE The Annual Dinner and Dance was held on 4th February at the Europa Hotel. It was attended by about 228 members and guests. Mr. R. Demuth, President of the Toilet Preparations Federation, was the Guest of Honour. In his response to the President's toast of "our guests" he stressed the importance of co-operative and friendly relations between the T.P.F. and the Society on the well-being of the industry. THE FUTURE During the coming year your Council will be actively concerned with recruitment to the Society. It has been agreed that several of the Society's Rules need revision and this will also be given firm attention. The success of the Society depends on the scientific excellence of its members, on their loyalty to the Society and willingness to co-operate for the common good. We must make sure that this continues to be recognised by outside bodies, who will then be anxious to help us in any way that we ask.
