We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
SOCIETY ANNOUNCEMENTS FALL CONVENTION As announced in the preceding section of this issue of the JOURNAL, the Fall, 1934, Convention will be held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, N. Y., October 29th-November 1st. Members are urged to make every effort to at- tend the Convention, and to participate in the very attractive and interesting programs that are being arranged. ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 1935 Ballots for voting for the 1935 officers of the Society were recently mailed to the voting membership of the Society, and will be counted on October 29th, the first day of the Fall Convention. The names of the successful candidates will be announced at that time, but officers-elect will not assume office until January 1st, in accordance with the provisions of the recent revision of the Constitution and By-Laws. PROJECTION PRACTICE COMMITTEE At a meeting held at New York, N. Y., on September 12th, an outline of the report to be presented at the forthcoming Convention was prepared. At the next meeting of the Committee, to be held on October 24th, the draft of the report, based on the outline, will be edited by the Committee and put into final shape. JOURNAL AWARD COMMITTEE In accordance with an enactment of the Board of Governors on April 22, 1934, the JOURNAL Award was revived. It consists of a cash award of $50, accompanied by an appropriate certificate to the author or authors of the "most outstanding paper originally published in the JOURNAL during the preceding calendar year." The Committee will report its findings to the Board of Governors at the next meeting, October 28th, and the award will be made some time during the Con- vention beginning on the following day. STANDARDS An up-to-date revision of the Standards Booklet, including all the standards that have been approved by the Society up to the present moment, and upon which the Standards Committee has been working for almost two years, will be ready for publication in the next issue of the JOURNAL. In addition to being published in the JOURNAL, reprints will be available shortly after. The plan of changing the standardization of motion picture projects from the proprietary method to the administrative sectional committee method, sponsored by the S. M. P. E., according to the procedure of the American Standards As- sociation, has been approved by the Standards Council of the latter body. Plans for forming the Sectional Committee are going forward, and the S. M. P. E. Board of Governors at its next meeting on October 28th will take whatever steps may be necessary to enable the Committee to begin its work. 243
