SOCIETY ANNOUNCEMENTS BOARD OF GOVERNORS

The fiscal report of the Society for 1934 was presented to the Board by Mr. O. M. Glunt, Financial Vice-President, indicating a satisfactory trend in the Society's affairs and the ability to improve its service to the membership and the industry. The JOURNAL was enlarged by fifty per cent for 1935, and generous financial assistance was provided for the Local Sections to enlarge their activities and hold more attractive and interesting monthly meetings. In addition, appropriations were made for the JOURNAL Award and the Progress Medal, the design of which latter, submitted by Mr. J. I. Crab tree, Editorial Vice-President, was approved by the Board. Other actions taken by the Board, as regards the Sectional Committee on Motion Pictures, under the A. S. A., lapel buttons, etc., were as described below.
HOLLYWOOD CONVENTION
As announced previously, the Spring Convention will be held this year at Hollywood, May 20-24, inclusive, headquarters at the Hotel Roosevelt. Members of the Society are urged to make every effort to attend, and contribute to making this convention the greatest and most interesting in the history of the Society. The Pacific Coast Section Board of Managers, under the chairmanship of Mr. G. F. Rackett, and with the Assistance of Messrs. E. Huse, Executive Vice-President of the Society, and W. C. Kunzmann, Convention Vice-President, are collaborating in arranging the details of the Convention and the Apparatus Exhibit.
The latter will be known as the "Studio Practice and Equipment Exhibit" and it is hoped that the contributions of the studios, in displaying the developments and advances in technic and equipment of the studios, will be quite extensive. Plans are being made for an interesting program of technical papers, and Messrs. J. I. Crabtree and J. O. Baker, Chairman of the Papers Committee, promise a number of outstanding demonstrations and presentations. Several technical sessions will be held in the evenings, in order to permit those to attend whose employment would not permit them to attend the day sessions. Visits to several of the studios are being arranged for the open afternoons.
ATLANTIC COAST SECTION
The first monthly meeting of the Section was held in the auditorium of the Electrical Association of New York on January 9, at which Mr. Rudolph Wolf, of Electrical Research Products, Inc., presented a paper entitled "Visual Accompaniment." The paper presented new ideas concerning the production of pictures to accompany music, rather than the usual method of arranging the music to supplement the picture. 184
