Joint Meeting The Radiological Society of North America and The American Roentgen Ray Society

Abstract

In the March issue of Radiology there appeared a preliminary announcement of a joint meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society and the Radiological Society of North America to be held in Chicago, Sept. 24 to 29,1944. The expressed opinion of those who have been contacted indicates that this meeting will be extremely welcome to all radiologists in the United States and Canada. It will afford a much-needed opportunity for the exchange of views and ideas, as well as constituting a valuable source of information and instruction. Joint committees have been appointed and it will be their responsibility to arrange for the Commercial and Scientific Exhibits, Refresher Courses, and the Scientific Program. May we suggest that members of both societies make an immediate survey of their material and put forth a consistent effort to contribute either to the program or exhibits. The Coordinating Committee, consisting of Dr. Lyell C. Kinney (1831 Fourth Ave., San Diego 1, Calif.) , Dr. Edward L. Jenkinson (St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, Ill.), and Dr. Eldwin R. Witwer (Harper Hospital, Detroit 1, Mich.), will be delighted to be of any possible assistance in arrangements. Titles and abstracts of papers should be submitted to Doctor Kinney or Doctor Witwer before July 1, 1944. Dr. Lawrence Reynolds (10 Peterboro, Detroit 1, Mich.) is Chairman of the Commercial Exhibits Committee. Prospective exhibitors should communicate with Doctor Reynolds for space at an early date. The Scientific Exhibits Committee, of which Dr. Clarence Hufford (421 Michigan St., Toledo, Ohio) is Chairman, will be in a position to send out application blanks for space in the near future. Those who are planning to present exhibits will find it advantageous to prepare films, charts, graphs, and specimens at the earliest possible time. Dr. Warren Furey (6844 Oglesby Avenue, S. Chicago Station, Ill.) heads the committee in charge of the Refresher Courses, which will start Sunday, Sept. 24. The combined talent available in the two societies makes it certain that these will be of outstanding character. Doctor Furey should be contacted immediately, so that he may make the most advantageous arrangement of available material in arranging these courses. We are certain that members of both the Radiological Society of North America and the American Roentgen Ray Society appreciate the importance of this meeting. Their officers and committees solicit their support in making it one of the outstanding radiological meetings of all time.
