The other reel portrayed the rates of solution of various refractories in basic and acidic glasses as viewed with a thermal micro scope. --W. C. Rueckel, Secretary Revision of Membership Lists The following notice has been sent to members of the Pittsburgh Section concerning their membership status. This idea of keeping prospect and membership lists checked is heartily indorsed by the Secretary of the Society. The Pittsburgh Section mailing list is undergoing re vision. By making use of the Roster published in the October, 1936, Bulletin, the names of about sixty ceramists were added. This swells the prospect list to more than 250 names. Next, the tricky business of paring the list down must be undertaken because the treasurer can not continue to finance printing and mailing on such a scale without more income. It will be found that a few members are no longer in the area. Their names can come off. A con siderable discrepancy will still exist between the tally of membership dues ($1.00 per year) paid and the number of members on the list. It has been suggested that the treasurer's records be con sulted on the assumption that the non-payment of dues indicates a lack of interest in the Section. So the mem bers, both new and old, are urged to reach an understand ing with the newly elected Treasurer, J. W. Hepplewhite, if they wish to continue to receive notification of the various local activities.

(Roseville, Ohio) NECROLOGY Elizabeth Gray Overbeck Elizabeth Gray Overbeck passed away after a long illness December 1, 1936, at her home in Cambridge City, Indiana, where she had lived nearly all of her life. She attended the public schools there and was graduated from the local high school. It was not until after a number of years spent in the care of her parents that she took a special course in ceramics in 1909 to 1910 at the New York State School of Clayworking and Ceramics (now N. Y. State College of Ceramics) Alfred, N. Y., under Charles F. Binns. She became a member of the American Ceramic Society at this time. In 1911, in association with three sisters, artists and designers, she established a small art pottery, called Overbeck Pottery, with studio and workshop in their home, producing a small output of specially designed wheelmade and handbuilt pottery. Through long, painstaking effort she developed a product that has always been character ized by very fine technique, originality, and great artistic value. Her work has appeared in a great many exhibitions in various parts of the country. She was made a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society in March, 1936. * Address in parentheses is the old address.
