Although the temperatures outside hovered around 90°F, the air-conditioned Cleary Auditorium provided an excellent atmosphere in which the sessions. exhibits and social events could be enjoyed. No rain or showers occurred to dampen or complicate the Ladies Program. Four hundred and sixty-five persons registered in for the conference, in addition to fifteen university students and thirty-five high school students. The Pre-Conference Council meeting took place on Saturday, June 6th, at the Harrow Reseavch Station, Canada Department of Agriculture. The main points of this meeting appear in the "Report of Council" below. The social events began on Sunday night, June 7th, with a President's reception in the Skyline Room of the Cleary Auditorium. This event brought everyone together and provided an opportunity for many to meet with old friends and make new acquaintances. "Outlook for the 70's" was the theme of the conference, which got underway at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, June 8th. Dr. G. M. Weaver, Conference Technical Committee Chairman, chaired the opening ceremonies. The Conference Chairman, Mr. C. A. Farrow, the Western Ontario Section Chairman, Mr. D. J. Graham, and the National President, Mr. R. B. Marshall, welcomed the delegates to the conference. Mr. Farrow spoke of an innovation initiated at this conference, a student education seminar. He commended the companies which had made financial contributions making the seminar possible. These contributions made it possible for selected high school students from the four south-western counties in Ontario and interested in a food science and food technology career to to become informed concerning the availability of various food science courses at the university and college levels, to participate in the CIFT Conference, to remain in residence at the University of Windsor and mainly to develop an understanding of the tremendous potential of the Canadian food business.

Mr. Marshall congratulated the two new Sections of the Institute, Saskatchewan and Guelph, and asked the members of these Sections to stand up and be recognized. They were greeted warmly by members of the older Sections. Following the opening ceremonies, the keynote symposium presented three speakers: Dr. Ross A. Chapman, DirectorGeneral, Food and Drug Directorate, Department of National Health and Welfare, Ottawa; Dr. B. S. Schweigert, Chairman, Department of Food Science, Michigan State University and Dr. B. B. Migicovsky, Director-General, Research Branch, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. They spoke on: "The Role of the Food and Drug Directorate," "Education in the Food Field" and "A Food Research Policy for Canada," respectively. Their talks are to appear in later issues of the Journal. Dr. W. C. Winegard, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guelph, was the guest speaker at the opening luncheon which was attended by three hundred and twenty-five delegates and ladies. His interesting and challenging talk ap(pears elsewhere in this issue. Following Dr. Winegard's presentation, the Director of Research of Windsor welcomed all CIFT'ers to Windsor, said that if anyone got a parking ticket to pay it because the city needed the money and then proceeded to cut a symbolic ribbon to officially open the exhibits. Technical Program Forty-three technical papers were presented, of which eight were in the French language. Many favourable comments were received on the high calibre of the papers given. A number of the papers will be published in the Journal at a later date. A Packaging Seminar was held on Tuesday, June 9th, on which Mr. J. A. Whitten, President of the Packaging Association of Canada and Vice-President of Christie, Brown and Company Limited, was the chairman. The panelists were: Mr. Normal Burgess, Manager, Product Development of Domtar Packal!ing Limited; Mr. Peter Holland, Vice-President of Consumers Glass Company Limited; and Mr. R. D. McCormick, Editorial Director, Food Products Development Magazine, Chicago. It is hoped that their presentations can be published in later issues of the Journal, but it is unfortunate that it will not be possible to reproduce the interesting colour slkles of containers and packages used by Messrs. Whitten and McCormick. A seminar was held on Wednesday, June 10th, on the "Consumer of the Seventies." Bob Barrett, Editor of "Cananian Food Industries," opened the seminar, provided historical background material ann made some projections into the 1970's. Mr. Barry Thornton of the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency, Toronto, presented a number of slides on births, marriages and work force composition from which he was ahle to forecast another dimension or trend contrary to the traditional belief that the fuhue outlook is a gradual rise to higher levels. Following a coffee break, Bob Barrett, Barry Thornton and the three panelists, Mrs. Murray MitchI'll, Dr. G. Home and Dr. G. C. Russell, exchanged views with members in attendance on a wide range of subjects. Can. Inat. Food Technol. J. Vol. 3, No.3, 1970

Ladies Program An interesting Ladies Program was organized by Miss Anna Lee, who unfortunately was unable to be in Windsor at the time of the conference. However, Mrs. Don MacDonald most ably took charge and ensured that all events went off without a hitch. Monday, following the Keynote Luncheon, a tour was conducted of Jackson Park and Willistead Art Gallery. On Tuesday there was a Continental breakfast, followed by a tour of the University of Windsor. After luncheon in the University Centre lounge, an excellent and fascinating talk and discussion took place on gems and old jewelry. It was necessary to close off the discussion to enable the ladies to return to their hotels in order to get ready for the President's Banquet and Moonlight Cruise. President's Banquet and Moonlight Cruise The reception and banquet took place in the Skyline Room of the Cleary Auditorium on Tuesday evening. Three hundred and two delegates attended and enjoyed a superb roast beef dinner. At the conclusion of dinner, President Marshall asked Dr. Tape, Immediate Past President, to announce and present the year's awards. The W. J. Eva Award went to Mr. A. W. Lantz of the Manitoba Section while an award of Honorary Life Membership went to Mr. Harry Miller of the Ottawa Section. Four members were made Members Emeritus: Mr. R. W. Arengo-Jones of the Toronto Section; Dr. L. W. Koch and Mr. W. F. Mountain of the Western Ontario Section and former CIFT President, Gordon Maybee of the Montreal Section. The S.S. St. Clair took the delegates on a three-hour cruise of the Detroit River. The conference committee advertised a moonlight cruise and moonlight it was. Although the temperature was in the high eighties, it was delightfully coolon the water. Dancing was enjoyed during the cruise, as were the bar facilities. The cruiseship returned the passengers to the Windsor dock a few minutes past midnight. Exhibits Prize Draw Six prizes were made available to be drawn for at the close of the exhibits on Wednesday. Mrs. Beverley Thompson of Winnipeg won the first prize, a Classical Sung Dynasty pewter vase. Messrs. J. N. Clark and Martin Stauvers of Montreal each won a Remington electric razor, Mrs. Nora Mitchell of Toronto the dozen Duro corridor lamps, Cliff Desch of New York City the dozen Duro 3500-hour light bulbs, and Steve Kalicll of Toronto the folding patio chair. Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting of the Institute was held at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, 1970, in the Skyline Room of the Cleary Auditorium. One hundred and forty members attended. The invocation and toast to the Queen were given by Dr. J. F. Richards. President Marshall introduced the head table members who were the officers of the Institute, chairman or a representative from each Section, and Dr. W. J. Gall of the Canadian International Development Agency. Following the luncheon, Dr. Gall was asked to say a few words on the Mysore Project and the CIDA pro-forma that had been sent to each CIFT member listed in the 1969-70 National Directory. Three hundred and forty students from 14 Asian countries have proceeded through the International Food Technology Training Center, Mysore, India, on two-month short courses and two-year post-graduate courses. The sixth postgraduate course commences this Fall while four short-term courses are scheduled on infestation, rice technology, packaging and protein technology. Canacla has 'Provided $600,000.00 towarcls a hostel at Mvsore, $70,000.00 for training equipment and mane a $100,000.00 grant to Mysore. This proiect has paved the way for regional training rather than transporting Asian nationals to developed nations for training. The United Nations and governments of developing countries prefer training to be in the home country if possible. One of the important questions facing the Mysore Center's management for future courses is the relative importance to be given to training in production as opposed to preservation or utilization of products. Canada Plus One is an outgrowth of Canada's contribution to Mysore. The philosophy is to apply the Mysore food technology training on a world-wide basis. $1,200,000 is the goal of Canada's financial contribution at the present time. In order to establish a reservoir or data bank of trained Canadian food technologists willing to serve in this undertaking a CIDA proJ. lnst. Can. Technol. Ailment. Vol. 3, No 3. 1970

forma was sent to CIFT members. Assignments overseas would be for a few weeks to a year. Dr. Gall suggested that CIFT might like to consider having one or more of the persons trained under this plan attend the 1971 CIFT Conference in Winnipeg. He believed that a letter to Mr. Maurice Strong, President of the Canadian International Development Agency, seeking the payment of the transportation and accommodation costs involved in such attendance could meet with success. President Marshall read the text of a letter from Joe Hulse who was in Korea. Joe regretted being unable to attend the Windsor Conference and sent his good wishes to the Institute and its directors. Mr. Marshall also expressed the regrets and good wishes from the President of 1FT, Dr. Lineweaver, and Dr. Magnus Pike, President, Food Science and Technology Organizat'on of the United Kingdom. A show of hands revealed that a quorum of Professional members was assembled to permit Institute business to be dealt with. The minutes of the last annual meeting held in Ottawa on June 13, 1969, were not read as they had been published in the July, 1969, issue of the Journal. It was moved by Mr. Eva, seconded by Dr. deMan, that the minutes be adopted as printed in the Journal. The motion was carried unanimously. President's Report "May I extend to all of you a sincere welcome to South Western Ontario and the city of Windsor in particular. We are proud of this productive part of Canada and hope that you will take time while you are here to see some of our manufacturing plants, farm'ng communities and beauty spots in Esex and Kent counties. "It is evident to me that the strength of our Canadian Institute of Food Technology lies in the thirteen sections across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax and depends upon the members of those sections. I sincerely thank those individuals in each of the sections who have so ably prepared and presented meetings of high calibre, have provided a forum for meaningful discussion about important issues concerning food science and technology and have enthusiastically promoted our true image as a scientific and technical institute, interested in the welfare of the community. "We have made excellent progress in this past year. Our membership of about 1,500 paid-up members is the highest in our history. The new section in Saskatchewan was formally inaugurated in February of this year in Saskatoon with an enthusiastic and capable executive and membership. By the time you read this, there will be another section in the Guelph area. Dr. John deMan, Past President of our Institute, is a leading figure in the formation of this latest addition to our ranks. "This brief report would not be complete without reference to the work and concern for our Institute at the national level, exemplified by Mr. Art Greene as secretary and Mr. Harry Miller as treasurer. Our thanks and acknowledgement also go to those in the business office under the direction of Mr, Henderson who have loolced after the details of the Institute. To the entire membership of our CIFT, I pass on mv sincere thanlcs for your support of your national executive.

Food Studies at the University of Guelph ADDRESS TO CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF FOOD TECHNOLOGY Windsor, Ontario Monday, June 8, 1970 by

W. C. Winegard, B.A.Bc.' M.A.Bc., Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Guelph The food industry has seen rapid - even startling _ developments in the past few decades, and I am tempted to review some of them here today. Instead, however, I will talk about your future and the responsibilities that you carry. In his introduction at the Annual Conference held in Ottawa last year, Mr. G. C. E. Steele formulated your role very clearly, and I would like to quote from part of his address. He said, and I quote: "Our research development in the field of food technology has a twofold purpose: it allows us to apply our energy to urgent social problems of the world, foods, new processes, and new techniques . . . improved systems of marketing and distribution, all of which are required by the increasing mobile and demanding North American consumer." The natural question to ask is - what efforts have the members of the Canadian Institute of Food Technologists made, in this past year, to fulfill this role? I have some doubts that either of these objectives will be met if we follow our present path. With respect to the first objective, if there is a concentrated effort by the Canadian food industry, government and universities to solve the world's hunger problem, then it is certainly not clear to the layman. Admittedly, individuals and groups have made worthwhile efforts but a concerted attack has not been achieved. Concerning the second objective, we have made considerable progress but much remains to be done. It can only be done through co-operation, one with another, and by interdisciplinary research. One cannot look at research in general without being reminded of the joke about the boat race. When one of the crews was very far behind at the finish line, the wife of one of the oarsmen said to her disconsolate husband, after: "Oh, never mind, dear . . . You were just wonderful. You rowed faster than anyone else in the boat!" Separately, the processors, the researchers and the teachers all row very well, but we must ask whether the result is satisfactory. Are we at the universities fully cognizant of the research that is being done in government and industry? Are industries and government making serious attempts to determine what the food problems are? And how they should be tackled? Are governmental agenc'es really considering old and outmoded legislation dealing with food and food products, which retard progress? Obviously, I cannot speak for the food industry, nor indeed the government, but I can tell you of our concern
