You will hear more of that program later during this meeting. The Weights and Measures Advisory Committee of the Confer ence, previously mentioned, met in Washington and has submitted its report. It is with deep and sincere regret that I announce the death on March 5, 1956, of Mr. Burns H. Dreese, Vice President of the Hobart Manufacturing Company. Mr. Dreese served with dis tinction on the Weights and Measures Advisory Committee since it was established about 2 years ago. There have occurred three changes among the heads of State weights and measures agencies. In Pennsylvania, Mr. H. M. Turrell has taken office as Director, Bureau of Standard Weights and Measures. Two members of the Conference of long standing have retired: Mr. J. Roy Jones, Commissioner of Agriculture of South Carolina, and Mr. Joseph G. Rogers, Superintendent, Division of Weights and Measures of New Jersey. These two men have served the Conference faithfully and well, and we wish them the best of everything in their retirement or in any ventures they may under take. Mr. William L. Harrelson has been appointed as South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr. Samuel H. Christie, J r., is serving as Acting Superintendent in New Jersey. This summary has of necessity been brief. We hope that the delegates will take advantage of their Visit to Washington to bring their technical problems to the individuals of the Bureau competent in special fields. I would direct your attention especially to the Wednesday ses sions of the Conference. These two sessions are scheduled for the Auditorium of the East Building on the grounds of the National Bureau of Standards. I shall look forward to welcoming you to the Bureau at that time.","brand":"Forgotten Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53742784807254,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780331506648_1.jpg?v=1781786433","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/commerce-department-of-states-united-report-of-the-41st-national-conference-on-weights-and-measures-1956-classic-reprint-9780331506648","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
