When introducing a major new Research Establishmentthe first question* usually asked is "What is its purpose?" Well,our purpose is quite clear, it is to apply scientific methods toproblems of improving the use of electricity and its distribution.The range to be covered here is large, touching as it does thepossible use of electricity in all energy conversion processes inthe Industrial, Agricultural and Domestic fields, together with thecontrol of electricity supplied.The resultant research programme will develop in two ways-one, by tackling specific problems arising from currentusage-for example the control of electric arc furnaces;the other from applying basic research ideas formulated atthe Research Centre or elsewhere to produce novel orimproved application and equipment.To encourage the development of a really comprehensive approachto this programme, it will be tackled by teams composed ofResearch Officers from many disciplines-and these teams willinter-link with Project teams who will have the task of ensuringthat their research results in commercially reliable processes andequipment.We are in the first few months of the Research Centre's existenceand welcome queries, applications or 'phone calls (Hooton 31 29)from those who feel that they can, and would like to, take part inthis exciting research programme.D.C.

Inaddition, all Ordinary Members receive Analytical Abstracts, providing a reliable index to theanalytical literature of the world.Forms of application for membership of the Society may be obtained from the Secretary,The Society for Analytical Chemistry, 14 Belgrave Square, London, S.W.l.LOCAL SECTIONS AND SUBJECT GROUPSTHE North of England, Scottish, Western and Midlands Sections were formed to promote theaims and interests of the Society among the members in those areas.Specialised Groups within the Society are concerned with the study of various branchesof analytical chemistry of specialised or topical interest. Groups dealing with such topics asMicrochemical Methods , Biological Methods , Thin-Layer Chromatography, Atomic-AbsorptionSpectroscopy, Thermal Analysis, Automatic Methods and a Special Techniques Group,covering very new developments and specialised physical methods, are at present active-andfurther Groups are formed from time to time as the need arises.Non-members of the Society may be non-voting members of a Group.The Sections and Groups hold their own meetings from time to time in different places.Application for There is no extra subscription for membership of a Section or Group.registration as a member should be made to the Secretary of the Society
