Abstract
DR. E. W. SMITH has been elected president of the Institute of Fuel for the session 1943-44, and will take office in October next. Dr. Smith has been well known in the fuel world for many years, having been chief chemist at the Birmingham Corporation Gas Department for several years before becoming technical director of the Woodall-Duckham Companies some twenty years ago. In 1941 he was appointed by Sir Andrew Duncan, then president of the Board of Trade, as director-general of gas supply in Great Britain, a position he continued to hold when the Government interests in the gas industry were transferred to the new Ministry of Fuel and Power. Having completed the work for the Government that he had undertaken to do, he resigned his position a few weeks ago.
