Early in March 1984, between two blizzards that struck the Midwest only a few days apart, I was in Indianapolis to address a group of public and school librarians on “The Publishing Industry.” It was a symposium described in the conference program as intended “for anyone who has tried to purchase a book that was suddenly out of print or out of stock.” Judging from the audience size, blizzards notwithstanding, and the interest as expressed through audience comments and questions over the length of the three‐hour meeting, there are a lot of people in Indiana's libraries who have tried to buy books that are “suddenly” O.P. or O.S., just as there are all over the rest of the country. Particularly for those who buy books to build and maintain collections for young readers—both children and young adults—however, obtaining materials for those collections has become an exercise in frustration almost unequalled in acquisition of any other kind of library materials, with the possible exception of hard‐cover “classics.”

We have pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy of the Public Health Authorities of the State of Queensland, Australia, for sending us this record. Want of space compels briefness, but we hope that the few points to which we have drawn notice may prove of interest to readers. We are concerned with the work of the Government Chemical Laboratory and local authorities so far as that relates to the purity, storage, and handling of the food supply. Action is taken under the Food and Drug sections of the Health Acts, and Regulations connected therewith. The difficulties naturally arising in the administration of a vast and sparsely populated tropical territory have been increased, there as here, by shortage of labour and materials of all kinds. So that schemes devised by local authorities in the interests of public health have in many instances been seriously delayed. The Chief of the Government Chemical Laboratory remarks that the Department has worked under incessant pressure for many years. “ The well informed, versatile and competent practitioners ” demanded by the service are not at present available outside the Government service, and “ unless they are forthcoming from time to time to rejuvenate the staff the laboratory may be reduced to a laboratory of professional labourers.”
