To rekindle the interest of its members, the Toronto Section distrib- uted a splendid issue of their News Letter, Sci-Tech. early in August. Among other things it drew the attention of its members to the rising in- terest in "dietary fibre", to the fact that our Institute is now directly asso- ciated with SCITEC. (Toronto members should note the difference in spelling it is not Sci-Tech.), to the new Officers and Directors of the Sec- tion and to the programme for the 76-77 Season. Their course is set for an excellent season. It was noted that their Treasurer, Charles Macer, and his wife went for a holiday in England. Knowing Charles very well, I do not think that there will be any necessity to check their financial assets. W. J. E.

The graduate program will provide for six research awards per year; they will normally be provided to students on a three-year basis and will range from $6,000 in the first year to $10,000 in the second. The grants will be on the basis of· proposals submitted to the board by a committee appointed by the dean of agriculture at each Prairie university. J. Ins!. Can. Sci. Technol. AHmen!.
