The New Health Room
"Three two four one" was a well
known telephone extension number in
the Main Building for many years but
some weeks ago staff members had to
undergo the rather traumatic experience
of learning a new number-5394-if
they needed the valuable services of the
doctors or nurses. The change in exten
sion number was only one of the
changes resulting from the expansion of
the Health Room and its services. Staff
members may like to know somethi'ng
about the changes and improvements
made.
Open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 :30 p.m.
every working day the Health Room is
one of the busiest "offices" in the Bank
Group. For many months it had been
evident that additional space and facili

great increase in Bank, I.F.e. and Fund

Montreal. His work with Price Waterhouse took him across

Labrador as well as to Bermuda and New York. His last posi

have bought a home in Potomac. Their daughter, Hilary Alison,
eighteen, entered Carleton University in Ottawa this Fall and

The 530 Group
On May 7 of this year a group of 11 staff members organized what has
come to be known as "The 530 Group," with the purpose of holding
informal discussions of matters relating to Bank Group policy and opera
tions. Meetings of about one and one half hours duration have been held
every two weeks at 5 :30 p.m. in Room A-530 (hence the name), although
future meetings may be held less frequently. Attendance is open to all
Bank Group staff. Something like 100 staff members have participated at
one time or another, though attendance has averaged about 30 at most
meetings. The informal character of discussions would be hard to preserve
if meetings grew beyond this size; fortunately there has only been one
occasion when numbers have had to be deliberately limited.
Meetings are organized by 2 or 3 volunteers, one of whom acts as chair
man of the next meeting. The Group normally invites speakers from within
the Bank to discuss subjects of interest. The President met with the Group
for one informal discussion session. Other speakers have included: John
Adler on programming and budgeting, Hollis Chenery on economic work
in the Bank, William Clark on the Bank's "image," Irving Friedman on
Bank policy, William Gaud on I.F.C., Mats Hultin and Soren Holm on Bank
lending in the field of education, Kandiah Kanagaratnam on the Bank's
role in population matters, Stanley Please on the relation of questions of
income distribution to Bank Group projects, and Jo Saxe on the problem
of indebtedness among the Bank Group's borrowers. ..l •
Messrs. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Robert Cassen, Soren Holm and Ian
Hume or Miss Elke Meldau would be pleased to answer enquiries about
he Group. Anyone wishing to receive notice of meetings could send his or

her name and room number to any of these.

Retirement of Mr. Leonard B. Rist
Mr. Rist retired from the regular staff of the Bank on April 30, 1970
after twenty-four years' service. It was on April 19, 1946 that Mr.
Mendes-France designated Mr. Rist as his temporary Alternate Executive
Director "with the full agreement of his Government" . Effective
August 19, 1946 Mr. Rist was appointed Director of Research by the
first President of the Bank, Mr. Eugene Meyer. The original Research
Department subsequently had its title changed to Econ omic Depart
ment and later to Economic Staff and Mr. Rist remained its Director
until April 1961 when he was appointed as the Bank's Special Repre
sentative for Africa. In May 1964 he wa.s appointed Special Adviser to
the President-then Mr. George Woods. He remained in this position
until his retirement from the regular staff on April 30 of this year.
Mr. Rist's record in the Bank is one of distinguished and prominent
service, and the success and respect achieved by the Bank clearly owes
much to his personal contributions. Since his retirement, Mr. Rist
has been a Consultant to the Bank in the capacity of Chief of the
Economic Mission to Togo . His many friends are happy that they
will have an opportunity of seeing him from time to time in Wash
ington. Mr. and Mrs. Rist are now permanently residing in their native
France. Our very best wishes for their health and happiness in the
future are extended to them both.
