Abstract :
THE PACIFIC GENERAL MEETING, held in Butte, Mont., August 15–17, 1955, provided a program of ten technical sessions, entertainment, and inspection trips in true Western tradition. The sessions started on time as C. H. Kirk and his vigilante committee rounded up stragglers by shooting blanks at their heels. The meeting was opened with a general session on Monday and, besides the ten technical sessions, an all-day meeting of the Board of Directors was held as well as several important committee meetings.
