PART II CANADA SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SOCIETIES
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS While preparing the Canadian section of the "Handbook of Scientific and Technical Societies" the editor and his collaboratrix, Miss Estelle Flesher, received help and advice from many persons and groups. We wish to thank especially Miss Callie Hull, under whose general direc- tion it was a pleasure to accomplish the task; Mr. S. J. Cook, who was the senior editor of all previous editions of the Canadian section; Miss Joan Powers and Mr. M. K. Ward, who provided proof-reading and clerical assistance ; the many scientists and technical officers who sup- plied us with names of new societies ; and the secretaries of the societies themselves, who, although faced with an ever-mounting flood of paper work and still "one more questionnaire to cross", responded so promptly. It is a rather interesting reflection on the development of Canada as a whole and of Canadian technical progress in particular that-in spite of a more carefully restricted selection of societies-the number of entries in the Handbook has increased from 166 in the last edition to 206 in the present edition, i.e. by about 20% in less than seven years. It should be noted, too, that part of this increase is due to the confedera- tion, in 1949, of Newfoundland with Canada.
