President of the American Sociological Society Louis Wirth is planning for a Section on Contributed Papers for the next annual meeting that is to be held in New York from December 28 to 30, December, 1947. Although this Section is particularly de- signed for those younger members of the Society, including graduate students, who have not yet had an opportunity to appear on the pro- gram in other sections, contributions from other members of the Society will be welcome. Since this Committee is working closely with the Committee on Research, it is being urged that members who have completed research papers suitable for oral presentation and which do not fall within the scope of other Sections be offered for consideration in the Section on Contributed Papers.

The article focuses on several meetings of associations and institutions. The annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, held in New York City last week, in connection with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has directed public attention again to the progress of psychological research. There was an exhibition of the newer methods employed and results achieved in the various laboratories throughout the United States. One of the largest and, from the point of view of general interest, most enjoyable meetings of the Modern Language Association was held this week at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. The character of the papers was even farther removed from the dry-as-dust productions on specialized philological subjects than were those of last year. Of the twenty-three papers, ten were in the field of English literature, and that mainly modern; and six might be roughly grouped under the head of the technique and criticism of literature in general.

CONFERENCE attendance ,CONFERENCES & conventions ,ACCOUNTANTS ,ACCOUNTING ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. - Abstract
The article assess the accomplishments of seven International Congresses of Accountants held to date. The first congress held in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri sponsored by the Federation of Societies of Public Accountants in the U.S., must be attributed to George Wilkinson, an Illinois certified professional accountant (CPA) who was born in England, but spent his professional life in the U.S. The 1904 Congress was an ambitious event for the American accounting profession. It was held when The American Association of Public Accountants had a membership of only 140 scattered over 15 states, of whom 81 held CPA certificates. The Third International Congress was held in New York City in September 1929. Joseph E. Sterrett and F. van Dien, presidents of the earlier congress, served as Honorary Presidents, while Robert H. Montgomery held the role of President of the 1929 sessions. The 1952 Congress, convened in London, England, included about 80 CPAs from the United States. It exercised a constructive influence on international finance and commerce, and stimulated avid discussion and subsequent research on fluctuating price levels in relation to accounts, accounting requirements for issues of capital, the accountant in industry, the accountant in practice and in public service, and the incidence of taxation.

The report of the membership committee of the American Sociological Society as of December 1950 is divided into two parts first, a record of organization and operations since the annual meeting in New York last December. Second, policy considerations calling for directives. The work of the committee was organized around three points. The planning and direction was centralized in a headquarters committee consisting of the chairman and the executive office of the society in New York. The implementation, including extensive correspondence and clerical work, was performed by the staff of the national office. National coverage was provided by a field committee consisting of regional and state members of the membership committee and committee representatives appointed for the larger institutions. More than anything else, the effectiveness of this work is due to the cooperative and efficient implementation of plans by the executive officer and the staff of the national office. In the field twenty-five members of the society served to promote the program regionally and more than one hundred institutional representatives combed the larger local markets. The response of these field members and representatives was frequently excellent and indicates the extent of the society's resources in this and other matters when adequate directives and materials are provided centrally.

The article presents minutes of the annual meeting of the Rural Sociological Society, 1959. The meeting was called to order by President Harold Hoffsommer with the following Committee members present: Ward W. Bauder, Olaf F. Larson, Charles R. Hoffer, Walter C. McKain, Herbert F. Lionberger, and Charles F. Ramsey, Managing Editor. President Hoffsommer announced the appointment of William Reeder, Chairman, and Stephen Brower as an Auditing Committee, and Leland Tate and Francina Nolan as members of a Resolutions Committee with the former as chairman. A motion by C. R. Hoffer that the annual meeting of the Rural Sociological Society for 1960 be held at Pennsylvania State College on August 25-27, was seconded and unanimously approved. Larson indicated that he had been advised by the appropriate New York State authorities that the Society would not be required to register as a charitable organization in the State of New York. However, he stressed that it would be necessary for future officers of the Society to refrain from any activity that could be construed as fund raising, to maintain this position. Lionberger reported that action to establish tax-exempt status of the Society with the Internal Revenue Service had been taken but that no notification of action taken by the latter had been obtained. Three proposals by the Board of Editors to the Executive Committee were considered.

This article reports on the formation of the World Congress that aims to deal with the problems of human infertility. In October 1951, an International Fertility Association was organized at a meeting in Brazil, and this international association, jointly with the American Society for the Study of Sterility, decided to call a World Congress on Fertility and Sterility. This First World Congress was held in New York in May 1953. It was called together primarily to provide an opportunity for students of the subject on the clinical and research levels to exchange information and to correlate procedures, techniques, and therapies available for the care of the infertile couple. The popularity of the congress is evidenced by the fact that it was attended by delegates from every continent. The Program Committee of the congress recognized that a conference dealing with the problems of human fertility must concern itself in part with the general social and demographic aspects of national birth rates and population growths. Most of the scientific papers and the discussions of the congress dealt with the physical and organic aspects of infertility. New techniques were described and new methods of diagnosis and therapy were discussed.

This article provides information on the Annual Meeting of Speech Association of America which will be held in the Statler Hilton Hotel in New York City on December 27-30, 1969. No special theme unifies the programs for 1969, but it is apparent that the planners still feel the force of last years Cultural Re-Orientation while they explore new and timely interests and fortify old, familiar pursuits. In the wake of the New Orleans Conference of last February, the growing place of behavioral studies in the scholarship and pedagogy of the Association appears in the extensive programs of the Behavioral Sciences Interest Group and such others. More and more is it evident in the programs of this convention that selecting papers competitively is increasing in popularity among the Interest Groups. Because of the Association's experience of recent years and of the well-known evening attractions of New York, the Convention Cabaret is omitted this year. Other special features include the Preview Theatre, sponsored by the Radio-TV-Film Interest Group and the Association, in which, mornings and afternoons of the three program days, members may drop in on showings of interesting special films.

The article studies the rate of membership participation in centralized union focusing on District 65 of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union in New York City. It shows that membership participation may even make it easier for leadership to exercise initiative and control. It also indicates that the collective bargaining and organizing environment of the labor union and the membership and employer characteristics arising from it strongly influence the relationship between participation and control. The correlates of participation include membership homogeneity, high social status and educational level and the meeting's function as an informal job market. The level of participation during meeting, voting in union elections and dues payment is high. Lastly, centralization makes it more harder to involve members in union affairs.
