Spring in New Orleans! Time to Think About the 61st Annual Meeting

With the Holiday Season upon us and midwinter about to look us in the eye, what better time to dwell on the warm, lush springtime of semitropical New Orleans. Star t your thinking and planning now to attend the Society's 61st Annual Meeting in New Orleans' Jung Hotel, Apr i l 26-30, 1970.

The New Orleans Convention Committee is put t ing the finishing touches on an outstanding program of both tech- nical sessions and entertainment for the members in at- tendance. Mrs. L. E. Brown and her Ladies Entertainment Committee have arranged an outstanding program, taking advantage of both the old and the new of the famous Crescent City. A more detailed description of these events appears elsewhere in this issue.

H. P. Dupuy, Chairman of the Technical Program Com- mittee, has 14= symposium sessions currently scheduled. At the time of this writing, the deadline for submission of titles and abs*raets of papers for the various technical sessions had not been reached; hence, the number of papers in prospect has not been determined. Ful l details con- cerning the Technical Program will appear in a later issue of the: Journal.

New Orleans takes seriously the old adage about "all work and no play" so there will be plenty of opportunity for both in the 61st Annual Meeting. For those play hours af ter the technical sessions, there are the sights and sounds of Bourbon Street, sightseeing and dining in the fanmus restaurants in the French Quarter and the Garden District, a leisurely drink, and a breathtaking view of the city frmn the revolving "Top of the Mart" lounge atop the new International Trade Mart building at the foot of Canal Street and this is but a small sampling.

The New Orleans Convention Committee urges that you think and plan now to be among those present at the 61st Annual Meeting. And, they repeat the often heard New OHeans exhortation, "Now, y'all eome--y'hear.*"
