G. T. DAUGHTERS has been appointed Chiei' of the new Detroit District of the Food and Drug Administration. H. M. BOLLINGER was named Chief Chemist for the district.

The D e t r o i t D i s t r i c t is the Food and Drug Administration's 17th field headquarters operation and the first new district added to the agency's field organization in 24 yr. Office and laboratory facilities will be housed in a new, specially constructed building. The new district includes Michigan and the northern parts of Indiana and Ohio--an area now served by the Chicago and the Cincinnati Districts.

Mr. Daughters, who has been with the Food and Drug Administration for 30 yr., has di- rected the Chicago District for the past 31/2 yr. Previously, he served as Chief of the Balti- more District. Mr. Bollinger has been Chief Chemist of the Los Angeles District since 1951.

Perry Returns from Lebanon

E. J. PERRY, New Brunswick, N. J., has re- cently returned from Lebanon, where he served as animal hubandry adviser with the Inter- national Cooperation Administration's mutual security program in this Middle East country. En route to the United States, he and his wife visited the Royal Agricultural and Veterinary College in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Agri- culture Division of the Univ. of Ghent in Bel- gium. Following consultation in Washington, D. C., Mr. Per ry attended the annual A.D.S.A. meeting at North Carolina State College, Ra- leigh.

Arriving in Egypt in January, 1956, Mr. Perry assisted the Egypt ian Government in setting up an animal husbandry improvement program, which he supervised until hostilities broke out in the Suez Canal zone on October 29, 1956. Evacuated from Cairo by the U. S. Sixth Fleet, Mr. Per ry joined the American technical assistance mission in Lebanon, where he served for 16 too. as the animal husbandry adviser to the Lebanese Government.

Concentrating' chiefly on helping the Leba- nese Ministry of Agriculture in lowering the cost of milk production and increasing the nation's supply of nfilk, Mr. Per ry helped to set up a program designed to accomplish these objec- tives. Imported cattle and their progeny from Holland are presently providing from 30 to 50% more nfilk than sinfilar milk cattle of Lebanon, while an artificial insemination pro- gram introduced in the country upon his recom- mendations has resulted in improving bseeds throughout the nation. Working closely with the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Terbol, Sir. Per ry helped to estab- lish a demonstration progrmn in proper breed- ing management for the Lebanese Government. Besides introducing improved feeding prac- tices, the New Brunswick agricultural expert produced a pamphlet on artificial insemination in the Arabic Ianguage for use by cattle-raisers in Lebanon. He also helped the Lebanese Gov- ernment to produce three talkie fihus on animal husbandry, to be shown in the rural areas of the country.

Mr. Per ry is one of many Americans, special- ists in various fields, who are working in some 60 countries of the free world, helping to ad- vance the objectives of ICA's partnership pro- g'ram.

Bulkley Speaks at California Polytechnic

California will continue to have fewer and fewer dairy farms, the industry has become definitely specialized, it 's no longer profitable to operate "sideline herds," there's no place for "absentee management" in modern dairy- ing, and operating efficiency will determine the dairymen who prosper and those who fail.

These were the views of George S. Bulkley,

director of extension for the Carnation Com- pany, and a speaker at the Thirty-Ninth An- nual Convention of the California Agricultural Teachers Association held recently on the home campus of California State Polytechnic College. He spoke on "The Changing Dairy Industry" and reviewed the A.D.S.A. meeting just com- pleted at North Carolina State College.

Some 400 agricultural teachers, representing high schools and junior colleges throughout the state, heard Bulkley stress good management practices as the key to modern dairy profit.

From the Secretary's Desk Each year one-ha!f of the ballots for officers

are printed with one set of names at the top and on the other half the names are reversed.

This is on the theory that some may have a tendency to vote for the first name they come to.

This year, I was interested to find that one of the candidates for Vice-president got 51% of his total vote when his name appeared first on the list, while the other candidate got 56% of his total vote when his nmne appeared first on the list.

These figures are probably not too significant, but they are interesting enough so that we ex- pect to keep on printing ballots each year in the usual form.
