The chromosome numbers of 209 individuals of Aster cordifolius L. from ca. 130 localities from the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick were determined; 122 were diploid and 87, tetraploid. Four populations are mixed, but no triploid was found; experimental crosses beween the two cytotypes failed. Genic exchanges do not appear to exist between the two races, at least not via normal gametes. In Quebec, the two cytotypes are sympatric in the Richelieu valley; west of this area, only tetraploids are found, and east of it, only diploids. This distribution pattern continues the one observed in Ontario, New York State, and New England, where the contact zone is, however, wider. No obvious ecological differences were noted between the two chromosomal races. Postglacial migration on either side of the Appalachian–Adirondack axis, tetraploids to the west and diploids to the east, appears to explain the distribution of cytotypes of A. cordifolius in Quebec.

This article outlines in considerable detail Cornell University's Employee Assistance Education and Research Program which is funded by the New York State Department of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, in cooperation with the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation of Mill Neck, NY. It utilizes an academic curriculum in combination with field experience to further develop the EAP profession. It has been on-going since the Fall of 1985 in various New York State cities (Syracuse, New York, Rochester, and Albany) and will soon expand to include Buffalo and Long Island. The authors were assisted with implementation of the program by Bernard Flaherty, who acts as its co-director, and who is Director of the Central District of Cornell's Extension Division of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. In addition, the article addresses a dilemma faced by personnel executives as they try to reach decisions about how to assure quality in the EAP programs, and in the personnel who staff them. On the one hand, they seek practical, applied programs that can be readily implemented and attractive to employees. On the other, there is a need to feel confident that the EAP personnel they employ are thoroughly acquainted with the workplace, and with the treatment place, and have a sound understanding of the emotional disturbances that cause troubled employees to be poor performers.

When your president declined my suggestion to furnish a substitute for this occasion he stated that he desired a college teacher to introduce the topic, a fact which I may seem to overlook, for I believe that in general the best course in secondary school algebra for the student who does not go to college is the best course for the one that does. I am in a position to view the product of the high school course, or perhaps I should say the better product, and I might give my conclusions as to the parts of the work that need stressing. I shall try.
