Canaveral Council of Technical Societies Welcomes FES and SMPTE at June Proceedings
NEW MEMBERS • Mr. A. E. Schuman, acting Chairman, introduced Mr. Caliph Rohm, President of the Indian River Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society and Mr. Richard Armstrong of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. Representatives and their members were unanimously voted to be officially represented on the CCTS.
STATUS OF JOINT CCTS MEETINGS • G. H. Rosenfield, ASP, recommended that societies in closely related fields increase their meeting attendance by combining their resources and programs on a quarterly basis in lieu of four individual meetings a year.

Local missile contractors will be advised of the magnitude of this event to aid local members wishing to participate or attend the activities.
Council Notes-ASME
ONE FEBRUARY DAY in 1880, a small group of mechanical engineers met in New York City to organize a national association of mechanical engineers. Their goals were well defined, and filled a definite need within the engineering profession-that of collecting and disseminating technical information.
Now, 80 years later, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is a vigorous, flourishing organization with over 50,000 members.
Since the primary objective of ASME is the diffusion of information, publication is a major activity. In the early days, technical papers were brought together in an annual volume called Transactions of the ASM E. Today, subscribing members still receive "Transactions" and may also receive The J ournal of Applied Mechanics, a compilation of papers devoted exclusively to this subject.
