;UME SIXTEEN, No. I JANUARY, 1950
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Member,
In this, the first issue of " British Kinematography" for 1950. I want to take the opportunity of thanking you for the support you have given the Society in the past.
Founded in 1931, our Society can, during its nineteen years' existence, claim achievements which have been a cause for pride among those who have taken an active interest in its welfare ; but nevertheless there is still ample scope for each one of us to increase the usefulness of the Society by making its aims more widely known among our business associates.
Broadly speaking the Society's terms of reference are those of providing a focal point for the collection, re-distribution and discussion of all technical matters relating to kinematography, and under the aegis of its Council and its specialised Divisions and committees it affords facilities for the promulgation of scientific data, for the interchange of news among technical experts, for the standardisation of equipment and processes, and for that liaison with kindred Societies and Industries which is so necessary to the progress of all concerned.
With a view to increasing the effectiveness of the Society's work a new secretary, with outstanding qualifications, has been appointed. Miss Joan Poynton, who assumed that position on January 2nd., brings to the Society eighteen years of secretarial experience, in the commercial, social and public health fields.
I am confident that Miss Poynton will receive the assistance and co operation of every member. May I hope that during the year you will use your best endeavours to further the aims of the Society, by supporting its activities, and particularly by introducing new members.
With my best wishes for a happy and prosperous 1950. Yours sincerely,
Q
N 1/ President.
