Reorganization Plan No.4
Resolu tion-Minnesota
As a result of the approval of the plan the Food and Drug Administration will be transferred to the Federal Security Agency, and the shift will become effective June 10th provided Congress does not adjourn prior to that date. If adjournment takes place before June 10th the change will be held up until sixty days after the next session of Congress convenes. The entire Food and Drug Administration, with the exception of two functions intimately related to agriculture, will be transferred to the Federal Security Agency where it is expected to cooperate closely with the U. S. Public Health Service in the protection of the consumer.
"4. WHEREAS, the Minnesota State Pharmaceutical Association in convention assembled does hereby resolve that a letter of commendation be sent to the A. PH. A. for their new Practical Pharmacy Edition of the JOURNAL which is being sent to all dues-paid members of the State Association."
Donations. Mr. Turner F. Currens, of New York City, recently presented the Museum, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHARMACY, with an old decorated porcelain mortar and pestle, brought from South America. The New York County Pharmacetuical Society, at a meeting held at the Hotel Empire, May 15th, elected the following officers for 1940-1941 : President, F. D. Lascoff; First Vice-President, Arthur Bauer; Second Vice-President, Calvin Berger; Secretary, E. T. Mazilauskas; Treasurer, J. E. Thomas.
General Principles
Before adjournment, six general principles in preparing the next revision were adopted on recommendation of the Committee of Revision. It was the general opinion that this was a constructive meeting and that the steps taken will make the Pharmacop~ia a more useful book to the physicians, the pharmacists and other interested groups, as well as to the public.
The 29th Annual Meeting of the American Drug Manufacturers Association was held in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., May 6th to 9th. Attendance was unusually good. S. DeWitt Clough was reelected as president and John G. Searle as vice-president. In his address Mr. Clough stressed the importance of the new Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Law, the Pharmacop&ial Revision, Legislative Movements, etc.
The Most Difficult Job "Faire une bonne pomade, est faire une oeu~re d'art la plus difficile peut-etre, qu'un practicien soit appelle' a accomplir." (To make a good ointment is a work of art, perhaps the most difficult task which the pharmacist is called upon to undertake.)Quoted from an old source by A. T. Dalsgaard in a book review in Arch. Pharm. og Chemi, 46 (1939), 677.-Courtesy of C. S. Leonard.
