Underhill (who had recently returned from India) with the Life aving Medal of the Order in gold, which had been awarded to her in the following circumstances : On unday, 11th \pril, 192:3, a band of outlaws entered Kohat on the orth-\ Ve t Frontier of India, broke into the house of Major Ellis, who was away on in pection duty, murdered l\Ir . Ellis, kidnapped his daughter l\1ollie, aged 17, and fled acro s the Frontier. Knowing that Mrs. nderhill (then Mr. tarr) , Matron of the Ii ion H ospital, poke Pu htu fluently, ir John :\Iaffey, Chief Commi sioner ot Peshawar , a ked her to try to get into touch wit h the girl. Mrs. Underhill t ravelled for two days and night with only her ho pital orderly, and event ually, after live day' constantly consulting with t he various headmen of the tribe, he di covered 10llie Elli 's whereabouts and persuaded t he l\1ullah to relea e her. he then brought her afely back t o Kohat. h .

of the tribe, clearly understood the great risk to her own life involved in the undertaking. The Life Saving Medal in gold has not previously been awarded to a woman. The ecretary-General read the Reports for the past year of the ecretary-General, the Director of the Ambulance Department, and the Chief Commi sioner of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. The Hospitaller and the Librarian also reported on the work of their respective departmen ts during the year . In reviewing the work of the year H.R.H. The Grand Prior said : " The Reports on the work of the Order and its branches to which we have just listened are full of interest and encouragement. " The expectation, to which I referred when I last addressed you, of a Delegation being dispatched to Australia and New Zealand was realized la t "vinter ; unfortunately illness deprived the party of two of its member for the greater part of the tour, which was later extended to Tasmania, otherwi e it was an unqualified succe s. The Delegates received the greatest consideration and kindness from the Governor -General and the Governors of the various States, and al 0 from the Civic uthorities. They were welcomed with enthusiasm by the Ccntres and by member of the Association and Brigade, who evinced the greatc t interest in everything relating to the work of the Order and it hi tory. " A very carefully drawn up report de cribing their labours and submitting several valuable recommendations has been prepared for ChapterGeneral by Sir John Hewett and his daughter, :\Irs. - tkin on, who tog ther carried through the whole programme mo t admirably. " I understand that Chapter-General ha already recorded a unanimou vote of appreciation of the services of the Delegatcs and, a your Jrand Prior, I should wish to add my personal thank and congratulations on the remarkable success which has attended their enterprise. " Regarding other parts of the Empire, :JIrs. Dent, Lady uperintendent of the ursing Corps and Division of the Brigade Over ea ,ha lat ly returned from a prolonged tour of inspection in India and outh frica, undertaken voluntarily on her own initiative; I cannot peak too highly of her services to the Order or of the value of her work for our Tursing Services Overseas. " In South Africa all the preliminary steps have been taken for establishing a Commandery; the Governor-General is interesting himself personally in bringing it to completion, and will be it first ommander. " As regards our work at home, an interesting development i our assumption of the control of the British Humane Association, which owns the London Clinic, the most up-to-date Institution of it kind in this country for providing artificial sunlight and electrical treatment for people in poor circumstances and for research work. The Humane Association and the Clinic were the creation of the late Mr. Campbell J ohnston-a great philanthropist-who a year ago invited the Order to associate itself with his work so that it might be ' perpetuated under the Order's control after his death, which most unfortunately occurred last February. Owing to his munificence, the Humane Association is amply endowed, and the Order is now in charge of an Institution which is doing a fine work for humanity.

"The E eports of the Director of Ambulance and of the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade show clearly the continued progress in the teaching and practice of First Aid. This progress has been a feature of the last few years, which I attribute largely to the untiring efforts of Sir Percival Wilkinson and his officers. I should like particularly to congratulate him on the good progres achieved with the scheme for providing" First Aid" on our roads. It should prove of great service to the motoring public, and its further development is very desirable. " As regards our Hospital at Jerusalem, I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful thanks to all who responded to my special appeal for funds in consequence of the earthquake two years ago " It is very atisfactory to know that the Annexe to the Hospital which has been contemplated for the last six years is now actually in course of construction, and will when completed be of the greatest benefit to the patient and our Hospital Staff. I am pleased to learn that visitors to our Institution are loud in their praise of its work, and of the admirable way in which it is being administered by our \~T arden, Colonel trathearn, and his a istant. "It only remains for me to thank Prebendary Percival for having preached to us to-day and the Officiating Chaplain for arranging the ervice. " The ub-Prior proposed a vote of thanks to H.R.H. The Grand Prior for pre iding over the General Assembly. The resolution wa carried with acclamation In replying to the vote of thanks the Grand Prior said : " It requires no words of mine to assure you of the deep interest I take in the Order and its work. It is most gratifying to me to know that we are continually enlarging our sphere of usefulness, and that the country and the Empire are beginning to understand who and what we are . I look forward to a further extension of our work in the future, and I a sure you that as long as I am spared to be your Grand Prior I hall do all I can to support those with whom I am surrounded to-day . I thank them all for their hard work and the deep interest they take in the work of the Order."

BRONZE.

John Hindmarsh, master shaft man. William Albert Mahaffy, surveyor. On 28tb August, 1928, John Henry Brown, in the course of his duties, stepped on to the weights suspended by a guide rope, in the East Pit haft sump, Hylton Colliery, wben suddenly the ,,,eights and Brown disappeared, crashing tbr~)Ugh platforms and stagings into the shaft bottom, a distance of .160 feet. The weIghts weighed 5 tons, and in flight pulled down pipes, ladders, tlmbers, etc. Somehow or other Brown was caught and suspended by bis coat and forearm midway down the shaft, and all efforts to reach him from the upper side were of no avail owing to the amount of debris lodged on a platform immediately above Brown. The only possible way of reaching Bro"wu, who was still alive, was by means of iron ladders from the bottom of the shaft, the first of which was a chain one and had been broken. Hindmarsh and Mabaffy climbed the ladders, "w hich are fastened vertic~lly to the shaft side, taking with them a rope . One false step on the ladders, even If they were not damaged, may have meant death for either or both. It was known that there was tons of debris immediately above Brown, but tbe state of the platform supporting it was not known, since the weights had crashed through, followed by iron pipe and broken pitch pine, baulks, etc. Brown wC!:s reac~ed a?d secured with the rope, and after most delicate movement of the debns holdmg Ius coat and forearm he was released and lowered down the shaft after having been suspended for nearly five hours. Hindmarsh and ~ah,:ffy. had to perform th~ir undertaking whilst standing on the ladder, when, agalll, If eIther of them had dIslodged any of the broken timbers, etc., resting immediately above, there could not have been the slightest hope for any of the three. Brown was removed to Hospital, where he died about 10 hours later.

Nash, Gloucestershire Constabulary.

On 13th October, 1928, P.C. Nash, who was in bed, was informed that there had been a terrible railway accident. He at once went do,V?stairs and ~ound seve:-al injured men and women at the front door of Charfield Statlon. He aSSIsted them 111, telephoned for two doctors, and then to the Superintendent of his Division and the Sergeant of his Section, and also to Chipping Sodbury. H~ then rushed to the scene of the disaster and found that the flames from the burmng wreckage were about 20 feet above the sides of the ChaTfield Railway Bridge, and he had to cover his face with his tunic to enable him to get across. He arrived at the scene of the accident at 6.10 a.m. and saw several men cutting through the bottom of a railway good trucks which was lying on its side. He inquired if there was anyone in the wreckage and was told that there was a woman. He at once crawled on his hands and knees for 5 or 6 yards through the wreckage, and then for 6 or 7 yards more on his stomach, but on reaching the woman found she was dead. Havlllg no assistance at hand it was impossible for him to get the body out as the heat was unbearable, and fire was spreading so quickly, and owing to explosions taking place at intervals the wreckage was moving. He finally had to scramble over the top of a goods truck to get clear himself.

On.19U: October, 1928, Richard Abbott and \Villiam Leeves were repairing a main gas pIpe In the cellar of 270 Belsize Road, Hampstead, when they were overcome by gas fumes. \Yilliam John Pointing, who was working on the floor above, smelt the gas and entered the gas-filled cellar where he saw the two men unconscious. TIe dragged one man to a window in the basement, and returned to the other man, \\ hom he carried to tbe top of the stairs (about 16 steps). He then fell exhausted and called P.C. Rutterford. They both went back to the cellar and each carried a n;an out ~nto the open air. P.C. Rutterford then applied artificial respiration untIl the arnval of the ambulance, when both victims were taken to hospital. After the removal of Abbott and Leeves, Frederick Holgate, a Gas Inspector, entered tbe c)ellar to endeavour to stop the leakage of gas, but was overcome and collapsed. I C. Harold Collett entered the cellar and carried him out.

AWARDED THE LIFE-SA VI G MEDAL IN BRONZE. Thomas Littler. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONOUR. Robert Jones. On th May, 1929, at the Manchester Corporation Gasworks, two men, "Willis and onn~Jl, entered a. ga~-holder to eiIect repairs. The holder had been pumped full of aIr III order to raIse It. They had to climb down a rope ladder 64 feet to reach a raft which was fl.oatin~ on water 25 feet deep insi~e ~he holder. Soon after reaching the raft they both felt 111 from the fumes, but WIllIS told Connell to climb out first as he had been in the holder longest. Connell reached the top and told Crausaz, the foreman, \\ hat had happened. Crausaz tried to descend into the holder but became partially overcome and climbed out. On the top of the holder were Cra~saz, the foreman; Connell, Littler, and Sullivan, workmen. Crausaz at once sent for the Police and Fire Brigade. Meam\l1ile they broke open emergency manhole covers, etc., in order to make the holde:- sink so as to be able to get at "W illis, who was lying on the raft inside. By breaklllg open these apertures the holder in half an hour was lowered a distance which normally takes 18 to 20 hours. This rapid sinking of the holder involved grave risk as the pre sure inside was liable to buckle and break the plates on which ~he four men were lying. If the plates had given way they might have been thrown mto the water inside. Meanwhile, the rapid escape of the fumes partially gassed them all and on the arrival of the Police artificial respiration had to be resorted to. On rec.overing the f~ur men made another effort to enter the air chamber (about 5 ft. 6 m. square) WhICh was fixed over the main manhole as a kind of antechamber but had to be pulled out by the policemen, artificial respiration again having to b~ resorted to. ?n recovery Littler, followed by Fireman Jones, Inspector Drummond of the Fire Bngade, and Supt. Raven of the Police, entered the air box. The top of the holder :\'as now 5 feet above the water inside, but in sinking the rope ladder had coiled Itself on top of Willis' body. Jones got on to the raft to clear it away, but was overcome and had to b.e hauled out. All the men in the air box were now becoming !5assed, C!:nd had to get mto the open air. On recovering Littler and Jones succeeded m reachmg .the raft a.nd gett~g a line round \Villis. Littler and Jones were then pu~ed. out Ir; a .partIally gassed condition, after which "Willis was got out, but artIfiCIal respuatIon was applied to him in vain.

'Yhilst proceeding to the place where the pump \\ as situated he noticed the younger Flynn lying unconscious, and Flynn senior and Leydon in a dazecl condit.ion. The locality was 150 yards from the shaft entrance. Lyons seizccl th(' boy by one arm and shouted to the father to help him drag his son towarcls the shaft entrance. After proceeding 50 yards Flynn senior became t.oo weak to help further and was only just able to reach the open air himself. Lyon, who " 'as now in the dark (having lost hi candle), continued to drag the unconscious boy the remaining 100 yards to the out ide. Realizing that Leydon \\'as still to be got out and fearing inability to achieve the task single-handed, Lyons ran for three-quarters of a mile to attract the attention of Duignan, a farmer, who was working in a field. lIaving caught Duignan's attention he returned and re-entered the shaft. Duignan followed, but paused at the entrance. Lyons shouted to him to come in, \\hich he unhesitatingly did. In returning to fetch Leydon, Lyons sho\\ed forethought in taking in with him a tub in order to carry the man's body . Lyons and Duignan found Leydon (who was then uncon cious) and between them put. him into the tub which they pushed out of the ,,·orkings. They then applied artificial respiration, to which Leydon responded. The work of rescuing Leydon \\'as carried out in darkness as Lyons lost his candle earlier in the proceedings. The atmosphere of the mine had been vitiated with a dangerous proportion of carbon monoxide. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONOUH.

Miss Janet Edwards, farm ervant. On 22nd September, 1928, Janet Edwards and her master, Thomas Ow n, \\'ent to drive a flock of geese from a field to the farmyard. bu 1l \\ Ilh some cows was in the field, and Thomas Owen, kno\\'ing the bull to be vicious, armed himself with a piece of rod iron and walked cautiously along the hedge of the fielel followed by Janet Edwards. "'bile thus gradually approaching the geese the bull charged, whereupon Owen ran tuwards the gate, but the bull caught him, tossed him, carried him for a few yards on its horns, and then bowing its head tossed him again into the air. The bull then on its knees pulled Owen down beb\ cen its horns, and tried to gore him. Janet Edwards ran up and tried to pull Owen by the feet from uncler the bull but failing in that she got up and while the bull was backing in preparation for another onslaught she deliberately rushed to its face and with her arms up emiUed such unearthly yells that she managed to subdue the infuriated bull and draw its attention to herself. She continued to shout and dance in front of the bull while Owen crawled to safety. When he had reached the other side of t.he gale the bull slunk away and left her. This screaming in the face of the bull \vas taught her when a child by her mother who told her to do this if she was ever attacked by. a bull. She risked her life in the faith of what her mother told her, and so unquest.IOnably saved the life of her master. Thomas Owen was subsequently carried t.o his house and attended by a doctor.

Frederick Lilley, motor engineer and driver. On 12th November, 1928, at Southampton Street, Peckham, London, John William Browning was climbing to the dickey seat of a pair horse van. of which he was in charge when he slipped and fell on to the trace of the nearSIde horse, causing the horses to take fright and run a\.vay, with Bro\\ ning half sitting ~n tl:e trace and half leaning against the near-side horse. IIe was unable to regalll hIS balance sufficiently to get off the trace. The horses increased their speed and were soon galloping at a fast rate along Southampton Street .. ~:;'rederick Lil!ey, who was walking along the footway, realized the dangerous pOSltIon of ~he dnver and, running out, seized the dragging reins and tried tb pull up ~he ammals, but ,,~as unsuccessful. He then let go the reins, caught hold of the Slde of the van (whlch was uncovered and empty) and after two or three attempts managed to climb into it. At that moment the driver fell between the hind part of the ncar-side horse and the van and dropped to the ground, receiving fatal injuries. The hors~s cont.inued their gallop. Lilley went to the front of the van, caught !lOld of the ~ron support of the dickey seat with one hand, and, at great personal nsk, leaned r~ght forward over the runaway horses and seized the reins which were then hangmg over the saddle of the nearside horse.

managed to guide the horses past several stationary and moving vehicles. As they approached a bend in the road the animals headed for the footway where several people were standing, but with an effort Lilley altered their course to a br.anch turnin.g. H~ then realized he could not stop them by simply pulling the re.ms, so he chmbe~ mto the seat and was then able to apply the foot brake. ·W ith \\'lth on and the rems taut, the horses travelled a further 200 yards before he could stop them. '!'hey had by then reached a point about 12 yards from the railings o~ houses facmg the bottom of the branch turning (Peckham Grove). The total dlstance covered by the runaway horses was about 400 yards, and they had travelled about 12 yards when Lilley left the footway to stop them. AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HO OUR.

George Johnstone, miner. On l~t March, 1929, at th.e Fleets Pit, in Midlothian. George Johnstone was at work WIth another man gettmg coal. A sudden burst of water followed by a heavy volume of black damp broke through their coal face. The water was quickly waist deep, but both men could have reached a higher level and safety at the Pit bottom. Johnstone, in spite of advice to the contrary from his mate, insisted on going to warn a group of fifty men at work three-quarters of a mile away. His action enabled them to take precautions, as they were unaware of what had occurred until his arriv~. They were rescued after five hours. It is considered locally that the warnlllg conveyed by Johnstone was instrumental in saving the lives of these .fifty men, as they would have been overwhelmed by the black damp.

P.e. 122 Thomas Braithwaite. J oseph Holden, wool orter and motor dri\Ter. John Francis Paton, cotton creeler. On 20th August, 1929, at about 1 p.m. five boys left their homes at IIaslingclen, stating they were going to explore the disused Pike Law Quarrics. At 10 p.m. they had not returned home, and the Police were informed that a numbcr of pcr",ons had searched the ql~arries but were unable to find the boys. The night \\as dark, foggy, and wet. P.C. 122 Braithwaite of Haslingden and Joseph lIolden and J oh n Francis Paton reached the Quarries at about 11 p.m. and decided to proceed further into the workings. After travelling about half a mile they came to a blank \\ all and the end of the shaft. On examining this, however, a small hole was discovered in the top of the wall through which the rcscuers just managed to rawl although the roof at this point appeared very d angerous. They called out to the boys and on r eceiving a reply proceeded for a furthcr 70 yards or so, when they found them huddled together on a heap of shale in an exhausted, starved, and terrified condition. With chattering teeth, frightened expressions on their faces, and with trembling voices, after much stumbling over large stones which lay in their path, they were brought to safcty at about 12.15 p.m. and handed over to their parents. The boys entered the quarries with the aid of candles which, owing to the very foul air, went out. They wandered on in the darkness and being unable to find the way out they became terror-stricken, lay down, and cried themselves to sleep. One of them, named Fulshaw, r eceived injuries to his foot owing to a falling stone, and had to be carried most of the way out of the shaft. They were all more or less bruised and scratched, and their clothing was torn and soiled to such an extent that it had to be destroyed. The Pike Law Quarries are underground stone quarries which have not been used for over 30 years. The rescuers penetrated the quarries for a distance of about a quarter of a mile and crawled over debris which had fallen from the roof, which in places looked very dangerous and likely to fall at any time. The air was very foul and a naked light would not burn in the shaft. Stone has been hewn out from time to time, leaving a sheer drop of about 50 feet, and at the foot there arc two tunnels or shafts which lead into the bowels of the earth out of which the stone has been worked. The quarry is awe-inspiring, most dangerous and a foul-smelling place with a treacherous fioor.

Owing to the widespread extension of the work and activitie of t.he Grand Priory far beyond England into the Domi!lion .and other l;~rt.s of the Briti h Empire, the Sovereign Head, HI ' Ma] , ty the h.mgEmperor, was graciously pleased in 1926 to ~1irect in a new H.oXal Chart r that certain modifications should be made 111 the name and title of the Order more appropriate to its changing circum tance , and His ~raje ty was also pleased to direct that the Order hould henc~forwar:l b ar .the honourable prefix of "Venerable", as the out~'ard. SIgn of lt anclCnt origin. Since that date, therefore, the Grand Pnory 111 England ha been known as "The Grand Priory in the British Realm of the Yenerable Order of the Hospital of t. John of Jerusalem". Under the terms of this Charter the members of the Orel r ar now organized in three Grades as follows :(a) Grades of the ancient category of Knights : Bailiffs Grand Cross, Dames Grand Cross, Knights of Justice, Dames of Justice, Knights of Grace, Dames of Grace. (0) Grades of the ancient category of Chaplains :Chaplains. (c) Grades of the ancient category of Serving Brothers : Commanders (Brothers), Commanders (Sisters), Officers (Brothers), Officers (Sisters), Serving Brothers, Serving Sisters. Moreover the Grand Priory has been giv~n a new organization, corresponding more closely to the changed status of many of the component parts of the Empire, with power to form Subordinate Establishments corresponding to the great Dominions of the Empire, subject to the approval of its Sovereign Head. Under the terms of this Royal Charter sanction has recently been

given for the formation of a Commandery in South Africa with MajorGeneral The Earl of Athlone as its first Commander, and it is probable that other similar Commanderies will ultimately be formed. In communicating these important changes, the Chapter-General would feel honoured if the Commandery in Sweden will accept the copies of the new harter and Roll of the Order, which are herewith forwarded, and begs to tender to the Commandery in Sweden its cordial and fraternal greetings.

The popularity of the St. John Ambulance Gazette with it readers in the Association and the Brigade, who are its chief upport.er, i teadily increasing. The evidence of this is in the increa ed orders from the wholesalers.

The death of the Rev. T. C. Elsdon, Rector of the Grand Priory Church of St. John, Clerkenwell, occurred on the 5th December.

King, the Librarian, reports as follows : -

During the past year the additions made to the Order's Library and Iuseum have been of unusual importance. Most important of all is the famous (( Rhodes Missal ", which 139 of its members have combined to purchase and pre ent to the Order. This beautiful 1is al was pecially made for the Conventual Church of the Knights of Rhodes on the instructions of F r. Charles l' Alleman d la Roche-Chinard, Grand Prior of St. Gilles, and was presented by him to th Order in 1503, when Fr. Amaury d'Amboise was Grand l\Ia ter. The 1Iissal is finely illuminated on vellum, written in an old Engli 11 handwriting in red, blue, and gold, and adorned with twenty-eight Jarge and splendid full-page miniatures illustrating the Life of Our Lord, and with numerou ornamental borders and coats of arms of the donor and the Order. The miniatures are apparently by a French artist of the flfteenth century, working under the influence of the Italian school. l'or nearly three hundred years this Missal remained one of the most cheri hed trea. ures of the Order of t. John, and is specially mentioned by tll hi. torian Bo io for its exqui ite beauty in his I storia della acra Rehe,ione ed Illnstre milizia di an Giovanni Gerosolimitano, published in 1391. It was taken by the Knight from Rhode, on the fall of that city, and wa depo ited by them in their new Conventual Church in :JIalta. There it remained until the capture of :JIalta by 1 apoleon Bonaparte in 1798, but from that date it hi tory i wrapped in obscurity. During the troubled period that followed the Frenc~ occupation it cli. appeared, and ultimately found its way to England, where it was purcha ed ome year ago by Commendatore Leo . Olschki, the wellknown antiqnarian bookseller of Florence, from whom it has now been purchas d by certain of the members of our Order. The Missal is by far the mo t intere ting and important of the historic treasures di played at t. John' Gate. The pa t year has seen the i sue of two publications of considerable interest to our Order. Fir tly, " Historical Pamphlet No.3" printed for private circulation by the direction of the Library Committee. This pamphlet is entitled "The Preceptory of the Knights Ho pitallers at Dinmore, County Hereford", by the Rev. E. Hermitage Day, D.D., F.S.A., Chaplain of the Order. It is the reprint of a paper read by the author before the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club on 25th August, 1927, and originally printed by the Hereford Times. The second publication i Mis E. W. Schermerhorn's 111alta of the ](m'ghts, publi hed by Heinemann, price 25s. It i the most interesting work on the history of the Order of t. John in Malta since Boisgelin wrote his A ncient and 1I10dern 111alta more than one hundred years ago. The book is likely to remain a standard work on the subject for many year to come. Besides the (( Rhodes Missal", the more important purchases for the Order's Library and Museum have been as follows :_ (1) A short pamphlet of the utmost rarity, since it is the only copy known to exist, entitled Le nombre des chevaliers qu sont mort au siege de Malte, printed by Benoist Rigaud at Lyons in 1566, the year

after the siege. It contains the names of 220 knights and serving brothersat-arms killed in the siege. (2) The great French collection of the Chronicles and Narratives of the Crusades knovm as the Rec'Ueil des historiens des croisade , published by the Acad~mie des Inscriptions i~ Paris fr~~ 1841 onward. It .is in eighteen large volume, the first elght contammg the we tern wr~ters, the next two the Armenian records, two volume of the Greek wnters, and SL-X volumes of the Oriental writers. It is the mo t important addition yet made to our Library. . .., (3) A complete set of the publications of the Palestme P1Ignms Text Society in fourteen volumes. As in past years the Library Committee has t? report the receipt of many generous gifts. Amongst these the more lmportant are : (1) A silver medal of 1765, bearing the full-f~ce portrait.of the Gra~d Master Emmanuel Pinto, supposed to be umque, and dIu trated m Schembri's work, plate xvi, fig. 5. This medal is from the famous Attard Collection, and is the gift of Lady ennett, an Officer of the Order. (2) The large anonymous medal of the Order, struck in bronze ear~y in the seventeenth century and illustrated at the end of chembn work, plate ii, fig. 5. This medal is from the Attard Collection, and was also presented by Lady Sennett. (3) A large silver standing cup with cover, no ~oubt a .ciborium, and bearing the hall-marks of 1729. Also t~e beaubful Itahan. Red Cro~s medal in silver for services rendered durmg the earthquake m Calabna in 1908. Both are the gifts of Miss Hilda Campbell, of Auchmannoch, a Dame of Grace of the Order. The list of donors to the Library and Museum during the year, to whom the thanks of Chapter-General have been conveyed, is as follow :~ Major H. A. Balbi, Miss H. Campbell, Capt. E. Charlesworth, Ma]orGeneral J. c. Dalton, Lieut.-Colonel E. V. Gabriel, Mr. S. GaseIee, {ajor VV. R. Gatt, Sir John Hewett, Surgeon-Captain M. H. Knapp, Messrs. Rimmell, Mr. H. P.

OCL\. TIO .

The Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to ubmit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the hapter- eneral. INSTRUCTIO l . Since the introduction in 1922 of first aid a part of the curriculum of a course of instruction for recruits entering the Metropolitan Police, classes have been held regularly at Peel House and some 1,000 recruits have been instructed annually. Refresher courses have al 0 been held by Police Divisions from time ~o ti:ne ~nd these are ~O\~ to be a m~re regular feature. With this object ill Vlew the C.ommisslOner of PolIce of the Metropolis is selecting a number of PolIce Officers to act as Instructors at Refresher classes for holders of first aid certificates in the Force. As first aid has also formed part of the curriculum of the course for recruits joining the City of London Police,. W~10 in addition are ~lso required to pass for the medallion of the AssocIatIOn, the London PolIceman may now be regarded as a thoroughly competent first aider. There has also been a noticeable increase in the number of classes held among the Provincial Police which may be attributed in a large measure to the recent institution of the National Police Competition for the Pim Trophy. Mention must also be made of the large number of employees of the London Electric Railways who have assembled at Chiswick and Camden Town for instruction and examination in first aid. Through the medium of centres and detached classes at home. and overseas, the Association has issued during the year 11,819 medallIons, 30,752 labels, and 4,100 pendants, a total increase of 1,632, and through the Priory of Wales 1,138 medallions, 4,602 labels, and 363 pendants; the number of re-examination vouchers issued through detached classes was 4,812.

The number of certificates issued during the year is as follows : -

The annual competition for the Inter-Railway Challeng hield, presented by the t. John Ambulance ssociation to the Railways of England and \Vales was again enthu iastically supported by the railwaymen of the country.

At the conclusion of the competition the pre entation of prizes was presided over by Lord Stanmore, a Knight of Justice of the Order. The challenge shield and prizes were presented by Brigadier -General The Hon. Everard Baring, C.V.O., C.B.E., Chairman of the Southern Railway, who, in addressing the teams at the conclusion of the competition, referred to the necessity for a widespread knowledge of first aid to the injured among railwaymen and the value of ambulance competitions. He paid a tribute to the keenness of railway ambulance men, many of whom sacrificed a great deal of their leisure in acquiring a knowledge of the subject and in preparing themselves for competitions. The Police National First Aid Competition for the Pim Challenge Cup again aroused considerable interest. This competition is open to members

of th e Police ~orces ?f England,Wales, and the Isle of Man who are holders of the fir.st ~Id ce~h~cat~ of the St. John Ambulance Association. The DIstnct ElImmatmg.

In view of the large and ever increasing n:umber of accidents in the Metropolitan area, the Association is formulatm.g ~ scheme whereby fir t aid material may be readily available. NegotIatIOns have taken 'pl~ce with the Metropolitan Police, who have agre.ed to allow t~e AssoClat~on to house these first aid outfits in the PolIce boxes which are bemg established in the London area. As there will be some hundreds of Police boxes in the Metropolis which will be connected with one anot!ler a~d with the nearest Police Station by telephone, the necessary first aid material will be readily available in cases of accident, pilferi~g will. be reduced to a minimum, and there will be frequent and regular mspectIOn of the material so that the supply in each box is replenished when necessary. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. Four Depots have been established in th~ provinces, while in Lo~don only three additional applications for eqmpment have been received, namely, from Oxford House, Bethnal Green, ~~e Shoreditch. Infant \A/elfare Centre, and the Ilford Ambulance DiVISIOn Some difficulty has been experienced in finding the necessary personnel to staff the firstmentioned Depot, while the management of the second has been undertaken by the Haggerston Nursing Division.

An interesting ca e was that of the victim of an aeroplane crash who had to travel upon a pecial surgical bed. The patient and his bed were taken charge of at Calai , brought to Dover, thence by rail to London, where he was finally placed in a Nursing Home. The surgical bed upon which the patient was travelling was far too large to get into a ]\lotor Ambulance, therefore it wa necessary to send eight men to Calai to carry the patient on his bed to the Channel teamer, and thence to the train at Dover, and a special conveyance wa arranged in London t? complete the journey. This work wa carried out to the entire satisfactIon of the invalid and hi medical attendants.

CONCLUSIO . The success of the Association and the expansion of its work in .all parts of the British Empire i largely attributable to the devoted erVlce of those members of the medical profes ion who (often at great inconvenience to themselves) act as lecturers and examiner, and to the Centre and cla s secretaries and instructor" and many other, who labour so unselfishly from year to year in. spreading a kno:vledge of First Aid to the Injured.

H. \Vebb, Irish Free State District. District Officer Captain E. A. Chill, O.B.E., M.D., No.8 District. To be Assistant County Commissioner. William W. Johnston, Cornwall. RESIG ATIONS. H.R.H. The Grand Prior has accepted, with regret, the following resignation : Assistant Commissioner G. Locke, M.R.C.S., No. 8 District. County Commissioner H. Powell, M.B.E., M.D., Gloucestershire. Assi tant Commissioner Captain S. O. Eades, L.R.C.P., No. 10 District. PUBLIC DUTY. The calls made for Brigade services continue to increase and it is encouraging to record at the same time the increase in the support given by the Civic Authorities, which has materially assisted the Brigade to extend its spheres of activity. Two examples of the form in which this assistance has been given are l.S follows: In one case the Municipality found it necessary to provide a new Police Station and when arranging the new building a wing was added for the use of the local Division containing ambulance room, lecture room, and garage for three Ambulances, together with the use of the Police parade ground. In another instance the Town Council built Headquarters for the local Division, charging only a small rent for the accommodation. Reference to the Commissioners' Reports will show the immense amount of work undertaken by the various Units in their respective Districts or Counties . During the year the Brigade were called upon to carry out some extremely heavy duties and it is interesting to note that although the ~uties occurred in various parts of the country the arrangements made ill each case were excellent. This confirms my opinion that the organization of the Brigade is sound and capable of dealing with any emergency whether it be National or Social. In the foregoing paragraph I refer particularly to the following duties ; Boy SCO~tts' World Jamboree.-The Brigade undertook day and night duty at the Camp and in many instances members of No. 4 District gave up their summer holidays to take part in the work. During the duty 495 cases received attention . c

The Royal T ational Eisteddfod for T-Vales held at. LJverpoo~.-The Brigade supplied 471 Officers and M mbers of No.4 DIstnct at dIfferent periods, and treated over 50 cases. . The Schneider Trophy Contest in the olent.-The Bngade undertook the whole organization of the aI1!bulance arrangements .at the request of the Royal Aero Club, the CIty of Portsmouth Poh~e, and other authorities. In addition to maintaining mbulance StatlOns along the course of the race, road patrols 'were po ted from \Vestminster Bridge (london) to Port mouth; and at Alton, Winche ler, Ba ingstoke, Southampton, and Bournemouth to deal with road accidents. The total personnel employed was 866 men and women.; 14 cadets; suppo~ted by 14 Ambulances fully equipped, and many Bngade urgeon. ThIS duty was covered by Nos. 1, 2 (Hants and Bucks), and. ~ Dislrict . I am particularly indebted to the Naval Au~hontIes at P.ort mouth for their valuable help in placing accommodatIon and beddmg at the disposal of 150 Brigade men who were stationed at. Po~tsmoulh overnight. Funeral of General Bramwell Booth.-No. 1 I?lst.nct c?vere? a route 6 miles long and treated over 400 case. Jo. 8 DI tnct aSSI ted III staffing the City Stations of the route. The l\ ort1~-East Coast Exhibition.-The Brigade supplied personnel from 14th May to 26th October, 10 members per day taking duty in relays from 10 a.m. till 10.30 p.m., treating during the period 4,529 case. Royal Visits.-On occasions when members .of. the Royal F~mily have visited a town the Brigade have in the maJonty of ca es relIeved the Police Force of the ambulance details, and made all the nece ary arrangements. Two of the heavie t duties in this connection was the visit of H.R.H. The Duke and Duchess of York to laid tone and Eastbourne. At Maidstone 7 miles of route were covered by 305 member of No.8 District; and at Ea tbourne 3~ miles of route were a1 0 covered by the same district, the duty in this latter case commencing at 10 a.m. and finishing at 4.45 p.m. . An analysis of the returns show that 454,626 cases of aCCIdent and sudden illness were recorded as having been attended by Brigade personnel during the year, an increase of 136,955 cases stated in my last report. Reference to the report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief will show that the Iursing Divisions are taking their full share of Brigade work, and are carrying out yeoman service. .. The attendance at Civil Hospitals has been well mamtamed and the members undertaking this duty appreciate the experience ga~ned. During the year 11,577 Hospital and 888 Clinic attendc:l.llces <l:r~ ~fficlally recorded as having been made by members of NursIllg DIvIslOns. There are doubtless many other attendances in addition to the above which have not been reported. I desire to place on record my sincere thanks to the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for her successful efforts in exten~ing the. field work of the nursing personnel and for her valuable aSSIstance III all matters affecting the _ ursing Divisions. AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The past year has been outstanding by reason of the number ?f Ambulances acquired by the Brigade either by gift or the result of pubhc appeal. In the majority of cases the Brigade Ambulances maintain

Contd.

a transport service for their town, including Police work, and are greatly encouraged and financially assisted by annual grants from the Civil Authorities, or special concessions which enable them to raise sufficient funds to meet the cost of such service. In some instances the work is so heavy that paid drivers have to be employed, but in the majority of cases the services are run entirely by volunteers. The self-sacrifice on the part of members carrying out this work is evident from the following figures. There are 212 Ambulances operated by the Brigade and during the year they removed 46,571 patients, and travelled 526,814 miles carrying out these removals. INSPECTIONS.

H.R.H. Prince George inspected NO.1 (Prince of Wales's) District in Hyde Park, many members of the Order being present. The .Sub-Prior of the Order honoured No. 5 District by presiding at a meetmg of the Sheffield Corps and addressing the members. During the year I inspected the BouTIlemouth, Hull, Bristol, Ch~ltc~ham, heffield,. Jottingham, and Birmingham Corps, also the mts m Kent, BerkshIre, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire. I al 0 opened Headquarters at Bournemouth and Southend-on-Sea. The i tant Chief Commi sioner inspected the South-East Lancashire Units and the Leicester Corp~. !he A -i ~ant urgeon-in-Chief inspected Units in Suffolk, \VarwickshIre, CheshIre, and Dorsetshire. .The Lady uI?erinten~ent-in-Chief inspected Nursing Units at Elsecar, RIchmond, ~aIIllg, T'vVlckenham, Plymouth, Parkstone, Birmingham, Rotherham, rhrybergh, Wombwell, Doncaster Markham Main Goole Aske~ fain, Bullcroft Main, New Edl~gton, the Denaby Mau{ Corps: Ironbndge Corps, Shrewsbt:ry Corps, CIty of Exeter, Paignton, Newton Abbot, and Torquay. I a~ pleased again to report that in all cases the parades were well orgamzed, the Officers and ot~er ranks smartly turned out, and that all ranks showed great keenness III their work. The esprit de corps was all tha t could be desired. COMPETITIONS.

The Brigade are deeply indebted to lr. John Maxwell and :JIr. J 0 eph Grossman for the continued invaluable help which is alway only too gladly and freely given. To the Judges' Committee, Judges, my Organizing taft, and all tho e who assisted in any way I tender my grateful thanks. RESERVES.

The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Re erve ha been maintai~ed at full strength during the year. I append extracts from the In pectlI1g Medical Officer's report to the Medical Director General of the Tavy:"The attendance at the inspection was quite satisfactory, 3·6 per cent. of the total strength being present, and only 3·2 per cent. being absent wit!10ut being excused. Those Reservists who were excused attcndanc~ wcre ml.ncrs who could not be released from their work. The standard of e[uclCncy attallled in the various practical First Aid Tests which were sct was vcry satisfactory, and the men were zealous and well disciplined. " It is again my pleasant duty to record my apprcciatiOl~ of the ~er.vi('es rendered and the continued interest shown by the Acting ChICf Cornnm;slOner, by Brigade Headquarters Staff, and by the Officers of the Units of the Brigade to which Reservists belong. " In conclusion I have to report, as Inspecting :'Iedical Officer, that the l~oyal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve is up to full strength and is ready for immediate service." MILITARY HOSPITALS RESERVE.

The strength of the Reserve on the 31st December was 1,033, an increase of 228 for the year. 460 Reservists underwent training at Military Hospitals, this being the full number authorized for training by the War Office for the official year. The reports received from the various Hospitals not only show that the men carry out their duties to the entire satisfaction of the military authorities, but that such authorities appreciate their keenness and ability to carry out the duties allotted to them. VOLUNTARY AID DETACHMENTS.

During the year 20 Detachments have been registered. The present strength of the Voluntary Aid Detachments formed from the Brigade is as follows : Detachments. l\1en. Women. 16

From reports which have reached me there is evidence of a considerable development in the Road ervice Scheme, especially in the increasing number of Mobile Fir t Aid Posts established at dangerous cross-roads and on the main arterial roads during the summer months. \Vhen the returns how that the Brigade last year had over 400 First Aid Po t , the per onnel of which treated 8,361 road accidents, and the Ambulances travelled 29,2·19 miles conveying the injured to Hospitals, it empha izes the vital nece sity of an extended road scheme throughout the main roads of the country. The \Vhitby Charabanc Disaster is an illustration of some of the work done on road duty. The Officer in charge of the Post staffed by the \Vhitby Division reported a follows: "It is impossible to describe the tangled, bleedina and broken mass of humanity lying on the soil in the garden. Iany \>;Tere unconscious and the groans of others most pitiable. lember of the Division were soon on the spot with large upplie of fir t aid material, Forty people were injured, thirty of these being stretcher ca e , all of which were removed to \Vhitby General Hospital in record time. The mo t serious were transported in the Iotor Ambulance. On arrival at the Hospital the Officers and members took duty in the Operating Theatre for many hours." But for such plendid ervice doubtle s many valuable lives would have been lost in this terrible disaster. In thi connection I tender my grateful thank to all ranks who have acrificecl their week-ends to undertake thi duty. Their response to calls for Road Duty i a true reflection of the spirit which animated their work. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

The benefit which these Depots confer on the needy sick is recognized to be very great and I am pIe ased to report that the scheme is developing. Accommodation is one of the obstacles to be urmounted but notwithstanding this drawback our members, particularly th~se of the Nursing Divi ion, are doing all in their power to make the scheme a success. The ~p. wich Indu t~-ial Co-operative Society hit upon a happy idea of provldmg a conven.lently placed Medical Comforts Depot in Ipswich as a permanent Memonal of the Society. This building was opened during the year by Colonel Woolrych Perowne. CO CLUSION.

It is my pleasa~t duty once again to offer my congratulations to all ranks of the Bngade for t~e good work they have performed during the. year and ~o express ~y sl~cere tha~ks for the cordial support and aSSIstance whIch I have mvanably receIved from all ranks. Without such support and assistance the control of such a va. t number of men and women would be impossible. During t~e year ended 31st December, 1929, 461 ervice Medals for fifteen years completed service, and 360 Bars for every five years' further

TIlE ST. JOH '.

Major-General Sir R . Havelock-Charles, Bt., G.C.V.O., K.C.S.I., M.D., etc., Chief Commis ioner, reports a follows:I have the honour to submit my report on the \vork of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Over eas for the year ending 31st D cemh r, 1929. During the year 42 new Divi ions (31 Ambulance and 11 TUI. ing) have been regi tered, but 7 Ambulance Divi ion and 1 Nur ing Divi ion have been disbanded, so that there i a net increase of 31 Divi ions. The strength of the Brigade Over eas at 31 t December, 1929, was therefore : Ambulance ursing

Divisions. llJembers. 8,276 265 2,47 110 375

10,754

The strength of the Cadet Movement within the Brigade Over ea' at 31st December, 1929, was 20 Cadet Divi ions (13 Ambulance and 7 ursing), with a membership of 592 (427 Boys and 1G3 Girl); an increase of 5 Divisions and 131 members. The following table shows the growth of the Brigade Over eas in recent years. I took command of the Brigade OYerseas in 1920, but it would be misleading, even if it were pos ible, to quote the strength of the Brigade Overseas in that year as the total had been swelled by the enrolment of a number of members for the \Var period who were till carried on the strength of the Brigade, although many of them had long since ceased to take any active interest in it. Correct figure are not available until 1925, when none but active Divi ions were taken into account. Year. 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929

From the above table it will be seen that during the la t [lve years the number of Divisions has increased by nearly 49 per cent., while the total personnel has increased by over 80 per cent. In April I was pleased to welcome Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, on her return from her tour of inspection of Nursing Units of the Brigade in India, Ceylon, and South Africa. During her tour, which began in October, 1927, Mrs. Dent travelled over 100,000 miles within the Empire and inspected practically all ursing Divisions of the Brigade in the Dominions visited; she also lectured on the work of the Order in many places where the Brigade is not established. I congratulate Mrs . Dent on the success of her visits to Dominions in the last few years, on which occasions she has spared no effort to further the work of the Order and its Departments. The early part of the year was noteworthy also for the visit of the Delegation of the Order, consisting of Sir J ohn Hewett, Major Colin McRae, Lady Margaret McRae, and Mrs. Atkinson, to Australia and New Zealand; Ceylon was also visited en route . In all districts where the Brigade is established the Delegation inspected the work, and were

Conid.

enthusiastically received by all ranks. The exchange of views between the Delegation and the Officers of the Brigade has been most helpful in the settlement of a number of questions and in the consideration of other. During the year under review 107 ervice Medals and 35 Service redal Bars have been issued to members of the Brigade Overseas; this is an increase over the figures of the previous year. With regard to the work in each Dominion, I have to report that in : AUSTRALIA. The Districts under the command of the Chief Commissioner for Australia continue to increase in strength and efficiency, especially in the New outh \Vales District, where the Brigade is in a very healthy condition. In \Vest Australia, which is outside the jurisdiction of the Chief Commissioner for Australia, the Brigade is also in a flourishing condition. Dr. H. G. Tymms ha been promoted to the rank of Comm~s .1?ner, and has taken over the Goldfields Area, where a Nursing DIVI IOn has been formed and an Ambulance Division resuscitated. CA ADA. .T?~ Brigade in Canada is still meeting with many difficulties, and five

DIVI IOn have been di banded. Five new Division have however been formed, 0 that the strength of the Brigade is being ~aintained: The stronge t istrict is that of Ontario, under the charge of Dr. C. J. Copp. CEYLO . Both ~he 1?elegation and 1fr . Dent, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, have paId tnbute to the high state of efficiency of the Ceylon Police Co~ps of the Brigade Over eas, which under the charge of Professor EllIson and lr: H. L. Dowbiggin has again been responsible for much good wor~ dunng the year. Many cases where life has been saved by the first ald work of the police have again been recorded. HO G KO TG.

.r h.ave again to record an increase in the strength of the Hong Kong

DIstnct ~f t~e Brigade Overseas. A ~otor ambulance has been presented to th~ 1?lstnc~ ~ll:d has been placed 111 the charge of the Motor Drivers' AssoclatIO~ DIVIsIOn, and will be available for the public free of charge. Much publIc work ~as been carried out, including duty at races, festivals, etc., and on occaSIOns of fires. In recognition of these many services the Government has approved that efficient members of the Brigade may attend classes at the Hong Kong Technical Institute at half fees: these fees are refunded if the member passes the subsequent examination. A num"?er of members of the Brigade have availed themselves of the conces~IO~. H.~.H . The Duke of Gloucester was pleased to in pect the umts 111 Apnl on the occasion of his visit to the Island.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

Brigade has made considerable progress in recent years. A feature of the year was the work of the Bombay units during the riots in that City. The high standards of the Brigade and traditions of the Order were well maintained by the members of the Brigade Oversea) who were active in attending to the injured. I am pleased to be able to record that a Vellum Vote of Thanks has been awarded by the Chapter-General to the units concerned, and that a public acknowledgment of the services of the Brigade on this occasion was made by His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. The Parsi Division which supplied most of the members who attended for duty during the riots is the olde t Divi ion in India and celebrated its silver jubilee during the year. NEW ZEALA D.

The Brigade in New Zealand continues to increase in strength and efficiency. The formation of six new Divi ions during the year bring the number of Divisions within the Dominion to 42 Ambulance and 30 Nursing. The number of Public Duty Cases attended to was 14,864 a figure which reflects considerable credit on the members. During the year some changes in the personnel of the Superior Officers took place. It was my regret to receive the resignation of Major A. L. Gray, s i tant Commissioner in charge of the Canterbury and We t Coast District. Major F. J. Borrie has been appointed to thi vacancy. Mr. J. Brine has been appointed Assistant Commissioner in charge of the recently formed Wanganui District, while, following the promotion of Mr. C. J. Tunks to the rank of Commissioner, fro F. J. Hutchin on has been appointed Assistant Commissioner in the Auckland District. SOUTH AFRICA.

The work of the Brigade in South Africa continues to be maintained at a high state of efficiency. Greater appreciation of the work of the Brigade is shown by the public, which is stimulated by the interest taken by His Excellency the Governor-General and H.R.H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for South Africa. Evidences of appreciation have been received from the Mayors of many towns, the Police, the Senate, and the House of Assembly. On the occasion of a review by His Excellency the Governor-General, a film was taken of the Brigade and subsequently exhibited throughout the Union. Competition work among the Divisions is the subject of great interest, and I feel sure this will help to maintain the standard of the work. The work of the Brigade in Kenya, Rhodesia, Malta, and Bermuda is still being carried on, and I am hopeful will increase as time goes on . In a few months time I shall have resigned my post of Chief Commissioner to the Brigade Overseas, and hence it is my special desire to convey my thanks to those who have given me their valued assistance in the past years of my office, especially to the Lady Superintendentin-Chief, Mrs. Dent, who has ever carried on her activities for the benefit of the Brigade Overseas in many lands. I would also convey my appreciation to the Chief Commissioners in charge of Dominions-Lieut.-Colonel G. Barclay of New Zealand; Dr. Bennie Hewat of South Africa; Dr. Storie Dixson of Australia; Sir

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM. Cont.

OPHTHALMIC HO PITAL, JERUSALEM.

" Under every head there has been a marked decrease in the number of patients compared with previous years. One cause has already been referred to-the Riots of August. But there are others. The Warden was away for four months from April on leave, and his absence is always severely felt. Building alterations in the Hospital, too, account for. some of the falling off, and finally a very heavy harvest kept the Fellahm too busy in the fields to find time to travel to the Hospital. " The Annexe is still unfinished, the delay being in great measure due to the Riots and their aftermath-the boycott, which prevented Jew and Arab working together. Also the municipality stopped the work in August, as it was found "permit to build" had not been officially sanctioned. This permit often takes months to get through, and sometimes bears the stamps of as many as twelve different individuals. The next Annual Report should, however, contain an account of its formal opening inaugurating a new era of increased usefulness of the work of the Order's Hospital in Jerusalem. Acute conjunctivitis is a terrible scourge, afflicting children as well as those of riper years, and it is confidently anticipated that in the new annexe relief will be given to thousands who would otherwise suffer irremediable damage to their eyes. " In this connection, reference may be made to the splendid work being done at the six clinics in the Holy Land where nurses trained in the Hospital are stationed, and Government surgeons who have attended courses in the Ho pital deal with the increasing numbers of patients who would otherwi e be compelled to throng the doors of the Jerusalem Ho pital. These clinic are in pected once a quarter by the \Varden or one of the Hospital taft. It is interesting to note that the work of Ophthalmic supervision is now extended to the schools, and this early grappling with the seeds of eye-trouble can only be productive of great good. " On the financial side the figures show that expenditure compared with the previous year is practically the same, while the income shows an increa e of £230. Lady Watson, as Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, has remitted £270 4s. 5d., which is the largest annual amount for which she has yet been respon ible. The Committee can only repeat its most sincere thanks for all she doe for the Hospital year after year. Hers is indeed a labour of love, but the Committee and the Order are deeply grateful to her for her untiring devotion not only in the matter of collecting funds, but also for her assiduous attention to her selfimposed dutie~ in the Hospital Linen Room. Even during the dangerous time of the Riots, nothing daunted, her visits to the Hospital were carried on as usual. "Donations for Special Purposes include £105 from Sir Charles Hyde, £52 lOs. from the Great Priory of the Order of the Temple, and £5 from Mrs. H. B. Hamilton. For all these welcome gifts towards the better equipment of the Hospital the Committee expresses its sincere thanks. . "The Or?e~ has received a final dividend from the Turkish Reparahon CommissIOn for war damage done to the Hospital. The total amount thus received is £4,595 . The original claim was £8,370. It will be seen that the payment amounts to 52 per cent of the claim. " Thanks are once again tendered to the Hon. Secretary for Scotland for his aid in the collection of funo.s.

The following is extracted from the Thirty-eighth Annual Report of the Committee : " The year under review will ever be memorable for the Riots which broke out in J eru alem on Friday, 23rd August, and which spread to other parts of the Holy Land. \"ith the origin of the blood feud between the Moslem Arab and the Jew this Report is not concerned, but the rioting seemed to show that there wa no ill-feeling again t the Christians or the Government. The Committee was naturally very concerned about the Hospital, but reassuring cables from the \Varden soon allayed anxiety. No danger ever threatened the Hospital from first to last. The troubles affected the number of attendances, principally among the Fellahin. This was only to be expected. Anyone who could avoid travelling abroad was wise to stay \vithin doors until the torm blew over and the roads were once more free of danger. The \\'ard n \Va one of a Commission of three appointed to examine into the charges of atrocities at Hebron. The Commission reported that, after twenty bodies of Jews had been exhumed, the evidence was sufficient to authorize them to state that the charges of mutilation were unsub tantiated. The Committee would, however, record it satisfaction that the \Varden was one of the three selected for this gruesome duty. It was a tribute to him personally, and to the Order for its known aloofnes from every kind of religious and political propaganda. " The Government asked the \Varden to help with the nur ing of the wounded, and he gladly consented. The Committee heartily approved his action. In all, some 14 cases were admitted. The 'e t.hrew extra work on everyone concerned in the way of nursing and dres ing, and the Hospital ophthalmic sterilizer had a heavy strain placed on it for work it was never intended to perform. The Committee is glad to take this opportunity to thank the taft for the readiness and efficiency with which they coped with an unexpected situation. "Colonel Ainsworth resigned the post of Sub-Warden in June, on completion of his two years' agreement. The Committee received his resignation with regret, especially as it was dictated by reasons connected with Mrs. Ainsworth's health. "Mr. Norman Manson, M.B., Ch.B. ( .Z.), who was appointed to succeed him, took up his duties as Sub-\Varden in August. To fill the gap between the departure of Colonel Ainsworth and the arrival of his successor, Dr. Shelley was appointed to act as locum tenens. " The Committee regrets to report that Miss Ingham, the Matron, has been very ill and that she had to undergo a serious operation, from which she is slowly recovering. It is feared that she will not be strong enough to return to her duties and it will become necessary to find a successor. Her loss will be felt as she spoke the languages and knew the country well. It is hoped that complete rest from work will restore her in due course to health again. " The Hospitaller visited the Hospital in April and made a thorough inspection. On his return he reported to the Committee that he had found everything in good order and that the entire staff was filled with the high ideals of the Order under the invigorating in piration of the Warden.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL.

" Of the amount collected in answer to the Grand Prior's Appeal issued in 1928, there will remain approximat~ly t~e sum of £4.'000 after payment for the Annexe and for. the alteratI~ns m the HospItal. The Committee will now have to consIder the erectIOn o~ the proposed SO':lth Block extension of the Hospital, which is to contam r?oms f?r Paymg Patients and other nece sary accommodation ~or the mcreasmg needs of the Hospital and the provision of ~ tu~nel to g1ve acces to the Annexe. The road traffic outside the HospItal IS a constant source of dang r, and a tunnel is practically a necessi~y for free i~tercour e ?etw ~n the two buildings for members of the surgIcal and ~ursmg staff. [he \\ arden is also urging on the Committee that th~ tIme has now com~ to do something to heat at least the Out-patient Departme~t dunng the winter months when the bitter cold of the early mornmg defic the feeble efforts of two or three oil stoves and leaves the human frame shivering and the fingers of the surgeon an~ nur es .nmnb. The bal~nce available from the Grand Prior's appeal wIll certamly not b~ uffiClcnt to meet all these demands, and the que tion of fina~ce wIll occupy increasingly the minds of the Hospitaller and the Comm1ttee. . " The Library has proved a great boon. . lore books are rcqulred, and the Hon. Secretary will be glad to rece1ve parcels of book' .t:~m friends who realize how much such gifts are appreciated where Iacll1tIes for obtaini.ng literature are restricted. .. . "The sisters have a gramophone wh1ch 1S much 111 rcqucst, but. records are few and fresh ones are urgently a ked for. They may b 'ent direct, or if sent to St. John's Gate they will be forwarded. . "The Committee would express its thank al 0 for t~1e followmg gifts received during the year und.er review: For books to l~s ~E .. Hahn: for parcels of garments to Mrs. NIcholson; for books, to Mr . E~kersley , for £3 to the Abergaldie \Vomen's Guil~ for work among the chIldren: , " The Committee, in drawing attentIOn to the work of the Ladles Linen Guild, can only repeat the thank it expre. sed lao t year for the invaluable help given in providing the HospItal WIth the many indispensable articles which ar~ so necessary for the hcalth and comfort of the patients and the domestIc staff. . . " And, finally, the Committee cannot conc~ude th1s Report WIthout expressing its recognition of the valuable serVIces rendered to the Order by the Warden and his colleagues, b:y Lady Wat~on, .by th~ latron and Nursing Staff, and by all whose work m the HospItal IS helpmg .the Or?er to carry out the object for which the Hospita~ wa.s foynded and m m~~mg it year by year a more perfect instrument to JustIfy ItS motto Pro ~ttd~tate Hominum.' , PRIORY FOR WALES. Good progress in the recognized branches of activity, which ~as ?een a feature of the review of each subsequent year, has been well mamtamed, whilst much useful propaganda work has been carried out. The Ambulance Department returns are indicative of the general ad~ancement. The number of people attending l,iirst Aid and. ~oI?e Nur~mg classes was 13 301 that is 704 more than m 1928, and It IS mterestmg to note that of this figure over ten hundred were Home Nursing students.

The Priory ha used its influence as a National Organization in the development. of mbulance work in all spheres of public life. For many years it has pressed the Authorities to make provision for the carrying of First Aid equipment on public service vehicles and the training of drivers and attendants in First Aid and it is hoped that the Minister of Transport will shortly institute legislation to deal effectively with this. In the meantime the Priory is endeavouring to persuade Licensing Authoritie to make such pro vi ion a condition of the licence and in several towns these efforts have been successful. Every Omnibus Company operating in \\Tal es was communicated with and as a result the Priory was a ked to arrange classes for many of those employed. \Vith regard to the que tion of First Aid in the Mines the Priory has pressed the Home Office to make it compulsory for the First Aid Certificate is ued by the Priory to be renewed every three years as in the case of the Certificates of the Board of Trade, i sued to Masters and Mate of Ierchant Ves els and to Skippers and Second Hands of Fishing Trawlers. uch an arrangement would ensure that the man in charge was a thoroughly competent First Aid man. First Aid in the Schools has also received attention. It is thought that not only hould ambulance equipment be available in case of accident to the children, but that there should be at least one teacher in each chool trained in First Aid. Public opinion has been expressed on many occa ions in favour of the introduction of Ambulance training into the school curriculum, and it would, no doubt, be of more practical value to the children than many of the subjects at present included. The strength of the Brigade in Wales has undergone a vigorous pruning; those Divisions which had been inactive for a certain period and showed no prospect of revival, have been struck off, and the following table represents the actual figures at the 31st December, 1929 :_ BRIGADE STREr GTH.

\Vhilst the total strength was reduced by 856 as the re ult of the disbandment of forty-two inactive unit, sixteen new Divi ion were formed bringing 238 new recruit into the ranks of the Brigade. Over one hundred juniors were enrolled into Cadet nit and the proportion of Cadets who pas ed into the senior rank prove that this junior department i a valuable training ground for the Brigade. The publication of the Juvenile 1I1anual will no doubt prove a timulus, both in the enrolment of new member and in maintaining intere t. The attendance of members on public duty ha been very good. In addition to the routine duties at public functions, entertainment hou es and all large assemblies, a large number of voluntary attendance have been made at Hospitals, Convalescent Homes, Clinic, \VeHare Centre, and institutions where their services are of value. Member hav made themselves responsible for the Ambulance arrangements in connection with summer Camps organized by Girl Guides and other bodies. The Nurses are giving much assistance in conjunction with the di trict urses and Road Patrol work has been taken up in a number of new area. t most of the coastal towns First Aid provisions have been made and thousands of holiday makers who meet with misadventure find comfort and timely aid under the St. John flag. The Welsh Brigade Final Competitions for the" Llandinam hield" and cc Arthur Griffiths Memorial Cup" were held on 13th April, and the Gamant Ambulance Team of the Carmarthenshire Centre and the Abertillery Nursing Division of the Monmouthshire Centre had the honour of representing Wales in the Final Competitions in London on 9th May. Once again the Commissioner for \Vales was elected Honorary Director of Ambulance for the Royal National Eisteddfod, which last year met at Liverpool, and in organizing the Ambulance Competitions, which are a regular feature of the Eisteddfod, the Priory had the mo t efficient co-operation of the Liverpool Corps of the Brigade under their Corps Superintendent, Colonel G. C. E. Simpson. The genial, courteous and kind-hearted Commissioner, Colonel C. J. Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., took keen interest in all the arrangements. In the two open Competitions for the" Lady Lewis" and cc Lady Bute " Cups of the Priory, the Treharris Team and Liverpool Nursing Team were successful. At the request of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, the Priory arranged the Competitions in connection with the annual show held at Cardiff in August. Teams from Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire and Glamorgan were successful. The Welsh Railways contest took place in Cardiff on 14th June, and the " Harry Webb" Cup was won by the Barry Loco. G.W.R. Team. The Priory organized the Competition for the" Devereux" Cup, the

annual eliminating contest for Police Teams in the No.8 District, comprising Wales, Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, of which the Chief Constable of Cardiff, Mr. James A. Wilson, O.B.E., is Secretary. Thirty-five ervice Medals have been awarded on completion of fifteen years' efficiency in the St. John Ambulance Brigade in vVales, and 23 members' Bars for additional periods of five years.

The death of the late Lord Mostyn on the 11th April added the name of a distinguished "\i\T elsh Knight of Justice to the Roll of deceased members. His Lordship held office as Honorary Bailiff from the foundation of the Priory and was always ready to give his loyal support to the work of the Order in "\Vales. The Priory sustained a further loss through the death of Dr. Robert James Smith, O.B.E., on the 22nd October, an Honorary Associate of the Order, who was closely identified with the establishment and work of the "\Velsh Priory. They will be sadly mi ed. THE ORDER AND THE BRITISH HUMANE AS OCI TIO . In last year's report some details were given of the identification of the Order with the work of this Association. The regrettable death of the Founder-Mr. Campbell Johnston-early in the year under review, resulted in the control of the Association and its principal activity, the London Light and Electrical Clinic in Pimlico, pa ing into the hands of the Order. On Mr. Campbell Johnston's death, followed a few month later by that of his brother, four-tenths of the endowment fund, less estate and succession duties, were transferred to the Association. The admini tration and management of the Clinic has been thoroughly overhauled; a strong Medical Advisory Committee ha been appointed, working in conjunction with a Board of Directors, with the ub-Prior as Chairman and Lord Herbert Scott and Colonel Bingham as members representing the Order. The Clinic is fully equipped with the most up-to-date apparatus for the various forms of Light and Electrical treatment, in addition to an Inhalatorum for chest maladies. Its capacity exceeds 1,000 treatments per diem. The objects of the Founder were to give to people in poor circumstances the benefit of the latest discoveries in medical science, who are only required to contribute to the cost of treatment according to their means. The very poor are treated gratis on humanitarian grounds. These benefits are immensely appreciated, as is evidenced by the fact that 128,231 treatments were given in 1929, an increase of 36,299 over the previous year. The Clinic has been appointed by the Society of Apothecaries as a Training Centre for Biophysical Assistants' examinations. JOINT WAR COMMITTEE.

Report of the

Comlnittee

for 1929. THE Ho pitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the hon ur to submit their Thirty-eighth Report for the information of His Royal Highnes thc Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. Th y ar under review will ever be memorable for the Riots which broke out in J eru alem on Friday, 23rd August, and which spread to other part of the H oly Land. \Vith the origin of the blood feud between the :-.ro lem Arab and the Jew this Report i not concerned, but the rioting eem ed to show that there was no ill-feeling against the Christians or th GO\' nlment. Your ommittee was naturally very concerned about the Ho pital, but reas uring cables from the 'Varden soon allayed anxi ty. X 0 danger e\"cr t.hrea tened the Hospital from first to last . The troublc aff cted the nlll1ber of attendances, principally among the F llahin. Thi \\·as only to be expected. Anyone who could avoid travelling ahroad wa wi e to tay within doors until the storm blew over and the road w re once more free of danger. The \Varden was one of a ommi ion of t.hree appointed to examine into the charges of atrocitics at Hebron. The ommis ion reported that, after twenty bodi of Jews had been exhumed, the evidence was sufficient to authorize th m t.o stat.e th at the charg of mutilation were unsubstantiated. The ommittee would, howcver, record its satisfaction that the \Varden wa one of the threc elected for this grue orne duty. It was a tribute to him per on ally, and t.o the Order for its known aloofne s from every kind of religious and political propaganda. Th Government asked the \"arden to help with the nur ing of the wounded, and he gladly consented. The Committee heartily approved his action. In all, some 14 cases were admitted. These threw extra work on everyone concerned in the way of nursing and dre ing, and the Hospital ophthalmic sterilizer had a heavy strain placed on it for work it was never intended to perform. Your Committee is glad to take thi opportunity to thank the taff for the readiness and efficiency with which they coped with an unexpected situation. Colonel Ainsworth resigned the post of ub-\Yarden in June, on completion of his two years' agreement. The Committee receiv d his resignation with regret, especially as it was dictated by reasons connected with Mrs. Ainsworth's health. Mr. Norman Manson, M.B ., Ch.B. (N.Z.), who was appointed to succeed him, took up his duties as Sub-Warden in August . To fill the gap between the departure of Colonel Ainsworth and the arrival of his successor, Dr. Shelley was appointed to act as loc~tm tenens. Your Committee regrets to report that Miss Ingham, the Matron, has been very ill and that she had to undergo a serious operation from which

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

she is slowly recovering. It i feared that she will not be strong enough to return to her duties and it will become necessary to find a uccessor. Her loss will be felt as she spoke the language and knew the country well. It i hoped that complete rest from 'work will restore her in due course to health again. The Hospitaller vi ited the Hospital in April and made a thorough inspection. On his return he reported to the Committee that he had found everything in good order and that the entire staff \Va filled with the high ideals of the Order under the invigorating in pi ration of the vVarden. Reference to the table of figures at the end of this Report will show that under every head there has been a marked decrea e compared with previous years. One cause has already been referred to-the Riots of August. But there are others. The \Varden was away for four months from April on leave, and his absence is alway everely felt. Building alterations in the Hospital, too, account for some of the falling off, and finally a very heavy harvest kept the Fellahin too busy in the fields to find time to travel to the Hospital. The Hospital has a number of olive trees in its grounds, and these produced about 82 rotls (= 600 lb.) which when crushed gave oil to the value of about £12. Last year the value of the oil from the arne trees was not worth as many shillings. The Annexe is still unfinished, the delay being in great mea ure due to the Riots and their aftermath-the boycott, which prevented Jew and Arab working together. Also the municipality stopped the \vork in August, as it was found "permit to build" had not been officially s~nctioned. This permit often takes months to get through, and ometimes bears the stamps of as many a twelve different individual. The next Annual Report should, however, contain an account of its formal opening inaugurating a new era of increased u efulness of the work of the Order's Hospital in Jerusalem. Acute conjunctivitis i a terrible scourge, afflicting children as well as those of riper year, and it is confidently anticipated that in the new Annexe relief will be given to thousands who would otherwise suffer irremediable damage to their eye . In this connection, reference may be made to the splendid work being done at the six clinics in the Holy Land where nurses trained in the Hospital are stationed, and Government surgeon, who have attended courses in the Hospital, deal with the increasing numbers of patient who would otherwise be compelled to throng the doors of the Jerusalem Hospital. These clinics are inspected once a quarter by the ,"Varden or one of the Hospital Staff. It is interesting to note that the work of Ophth~lmic ~upervision is now extended to the schools, and this early grapplmg WIth the seeds of eye-trouble can only be producti\Te of great good. . On the ~ancial side the figures show that expenditure, compared Wlt~ the prevIOUS year, is practically the same, while the income shows an mcre.ase of £230. Lady Watson, as Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, has remItted £270 4s. 5d., which is the largest annual amount for which she ha~ yet been responsible. Your Committee can only repeat its most .sI~cere thanks for all she does for the Hospital year after year. Hers IS mdeed a labour of love, but your Committee and the Order are d.eeply grateful to her for her untiring devotion not only in the matter

of collecting funds, but also for her assiduous attention to her selfimposed duties in the Hospital Linen Room. Even during the dangerous time of the Riot, nothing daunted, her visits to the Hospital were carried on as usual. Donations for Special Purposes include £105 from Sir Charles Hyde for a new kitchen range and other minor domestic improvements; £52 10 . from the Great Priory of the Order of the Temple, and £5 from :JIrs. H. B. Hamilton. For all these welcome gifts towards the better equipm nt of the Hospital your Committee expresses its sincere thanks. The Order has received a final dividend from the Turkish Reparation ommis ion for war damage done to the Hospital. The total amolmt thu received is £4,595. The original claim was £8,370. It will be een that the payment amounts to 52 per cent of the claim. Thank are once again tendered to the Hon. Secretary for Scotland for his aid in the collection of funds. t. J o11n's day was duly observed in Jerusalem by the now customary ervice in the Crusader' Church of ~Iar Hanna, kindly lent for the purpose by the rthodox Patriarch. ~fr. H. C. Luke, the Acting High Commi ioner- a Knight of Grace of the Order-was present, together with other members and friends of the Order resident in Jerusalem. Your ommittee regrets to record the death of Sir Lionel (ust, K . .' T . ., who had been a Member of the Committee since 1923. He took a v ry ke n intcre t in the work of the Order in the Holy Land. Thc Grand Prior has been pleased to nominate Sir Percival Hartley, C.V.O., a additional member of the Committee. The strip of ground in the ::\luri tan in dispute between the Germans and the Finance Commi ion of the Orthodox Patriarchate has been survc\'ccl and a settlement arrived at. The Order only awaits the n c ,- ary documents from J eru alem, when the price agreed on will be paid and the ground will pa s into its possession, thus bringing its outhern boundary to the Vegetable Market. The question of the purcha~ c of "Light and Air" over the Vegetable Market and the buildings on the eastern ide of the Order's property is still under di cus. ion. Of the amount collected in answer to the Grand Prior's Appeal i ued in 1928, there will remain approximately the SUlTI of £3,500 after payment for the Annexe and for the alterations in the Hospital. Your Committec 'Nill now have to consider the erection of the proposed South Block extension of the Hospital, which is to contain rooms for Paying Patients and other nece sary accommodation for the increasing needs of the Hospital and the provi. ion of a tunnel to give acce s to the Annexe. The road traffic outside the Hospital is a constant source of danger and a tunnel i practically a necessity for free intercourse between the two buildings for members of the surgical and nursing staff. The'iVarden is al 0 urging on your Committee that the time has now come to do something to heat at least the Out-patient Department during the winter months when the bitter cold of the early morning defies the feeble efforts of two or three oil stoves and leaves the human frame shivering and the fingers of the surgeons and nurses numb. The balance available from the Grand Prior's appeal will certainly not be sufficient to meet all these demands, and the question of finance will occupy increasingly the minds of the Hospitaller and your Committee.

The Library has proved a great boon. ~Iore books are required, and the Hon. Secretary will be glad to receive parcels of book from friends who realize how much such gifts are appreciated where facilities for obtaining literature are restricted.

NOT E.-For th~ explanation of the falling off in numbers compared with prevwus years see p. 4, para. 3. The Warden, also, in his Report refers to the figures.

The Warden's Report for 1929. TIlE year under review was abnormal in several respects. The August di turbances interfered with the usual flow of our work. During the first week of the riot Jerusalem wa in a state of siege, and for several weeks thereafter the traffic to the Holy City was under Police restriction. Hence for a time there was a marked diminution in the number of patients attending the Hospital. . But in thi connection it i of interest to note that with the falling off m the number of fellahin attending, there was a proportionately smaller but none the Ie di concerting rise in the attendance of the townspeopl. This was in part an exemplification of the old-fashioned theorem that atur abhor a vacuum; but to a greater extent was the effect of the. Arab-J wish boycott. As this Hospital doe not cater for paying patl nt " and as no member of the staff indulges in private practice, it folIo:\' . that mo t of tho e who can afford to pay attend the private . peClah t . who are almost entirely Jews. Hence the Arabs (Moslem and hri tian) in the early fervour of the boycott of the Jews flocked to this Ho pital. It may be mean to record the fact, but it will be no surprise to thoe who know Palestine and its inhabitants to learn that the total of free-will offerings of everal hundreds of those better-class Arabs did not amount to £ P. 1. \Yhil t the riot had thi con equence on the patients' attendance, the recurring and apparently inevitable changes in our medical staff had a still .more perniciou ' eff ct on the continuity of our therapeutic and operatlve work. The ub-\Yarden, Colonel Ainsworth, left on the expi~ation of hi ' contract, and I wi h to pay a tribute to the excellence of 111 work and to the plea ure we all had in our a ociation with him. s the \\'ard n wa on home leave, Dr. helley again acted as locnm te71e71S 1m til hi return with the new Sub-\Varden, Dr. Manson. In epten:ber, the "J1atron 1mfortunately fell ick and underwent a serious operatIOn. At the clo e of the year she was till incapacitated and on ick leave. In pite of the e changes and di turbances, our numbers were still large; indeed, looking back on past years I feel that we attempt to do too much. Mass production, however beneficial in industrv, should h~ve only a small counterpart in our calling, and nothing but the contact WIth so much disea e, misery, and disability explains the magnitude of our .fiort. And yet with the increasing advance in the science and prac.hce o~ Ophthalmology, with the multiplication of tests and m ethods of dlagno 1 , and the application of remedies calling for skill, exactitude, and the expenditure of time, the number of cases that can be attended to with satisfaction to all concerned must steadily decline. I make no a~pea~ for a larger staff, as I am all too conscious of the generous contnbutIOn already made by the Order to the welfare of Palestine. But I feel we ~ust institute some system whereby the skill and appliances of the HospItal may be retained for the use of those most worthy to receive them. ?ome system of payment by those who can well afford it seems the ObVl?US way to check a growing evil Dunng 1929, the number of new patients seen was 15,296, and the total consultations 63,134. The number of patients admitted to Hospital T

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

was 1,098, and the number of operations performed 2,996. I make no attempt to compare these figures with those of 1928, for in addition to the above mentioned abnormalities in 1929 we had in the previous year the equivalent of a " fourth" surgeon by the voluntary help, in the first half of the year, of Mrs. George tuart, M.B., and in the remainder of the year of Dr. Shelley. Classified according to religion, of the new case 10,671 were ~Io lems, 3,237 were Christians, and 1,388 were Jews. Of the total consultations, 44,973 'were Moslems, 12,464 were Christians, and -,697 were Jew. The number of operations performed wa 2,996. Intra-ocular operations totalled 644, including 206 on the lens for cataract. This decrease in the operations was due almost entirely to the riot, and to the fact that during a period of four ,veeks a number of our bed were occupied by Arabs wounded during these riots. Of the 15,296 new cases 1,500 were" blind" in one eye (9 '8 per cent.), and 511 were" blind" in both (3'3 per cent.). The number of individuals who were" blind" in one and both eyes was 2,011 (13'1 per cent.). A in previous reports the term" blind " includes not only the totally, but also the economically "blind". This latter category include those whose vision does not come up to the standard of vision reckoned a the ability to count fingers at a distance of one metre. The following table shows the incidence of "blindness" since 1919.

This table shows an almost uninterrupted improvement until 1928. The extraordinarily high figure of 1919 was no doubt due 1.0 the attendance of cases rendered hopelessly blind during the hard conditions of the war period. The increase in 1928, and still further increase in 1929 coincides with the virulent epidemics of acute conjunctivitis in the dry season~ of 1.9~7! and especially 1928. In the latter year the acute cases of conjunctIvItIs !lumbered 4,810 (forming 23 ·5 per cent. of the new cases seen as agamst 21'4 per cent. in 1927). In 1928, the number of cases of acute conjunct.ivitis was 2,818 (18 per cent. of the total). 935 of these cases were complIcated by corneal ulceration, and over 20 per cent. of these ulcers had perforated. Hence jt is evident that the lamentable increase in bl.indn~s~ l!0ted last year. is due to the very virulent epidemic of acute conjunctIVItIs of the preVIOUS year, as in the majority of the

H nce, Gfl per cent. of the blindne s can be traced directly or indir ctly to the acute conjunctiyitis. Thi disea e, although always pre nt In a modified form, a ume epidemic propo.rtions ~hort~y after the on ct of th hot ca ~ on, and continue with ever-mcreasmg vlrul~nce until th :hr t rain ~ in :t\ovember. It is primarily for the accommodatIon, egregation, and treatment of the e ca~es that th~ Annexe is. intende~. In pit of incredible 311d incomprehensIble delay m the. erectIon of thl building, it eems likely that it will be ready for use dunng the sea onal epidemic of J 930. The incidence of trachoma was 92 per cent. of the new cases seen. Thi i the highest recorded since 1920, whe~ it was 92·8 per cent .. Thereafter the rate steadily felltmtil 1926, when It was 78 per cent:; m 1927 it ro e again to 8G per cent.; in 1~2~ to 91·3 .per cen~., and ill the ear und er review to 92 per cent. ThIS mcrease IS the du"ect resul~ of the evere epidemics of acute conjunct~vitis which ~ave charactenzed t~e years 1926- 28 inclusive. In Palestme tra~homa IS .mostly conveyed 111 thi way. H ence, as has been so often relterate~ m these re.por.ts, th epidemics of acute conjunctivitis are the. ca~s.e, ~Irectly a~d mdrrectly, of almost all the blindness and ocular dIsabilIty m Palestme. Nearly 900 patients were tested for gla~ses, and 664. prescription were given. Most of these ca es are school chlldr~n, and WIth the spread of education their numbers will unfortunately nse. In the" X " Ray Department, 38 photographs were taken. There were five cases of intra-ocular foreign bodies localized by !Deans of the Sweet's apparatus. The Mellinger Giant Magnet was used III f?ur ca e.s ; in only one case did the metal prove to be ferrous, and was satIsfactonly extracted. The Hospital is now in the fortunate position of having two plaque~ of radium; one full strength and one half-strength. Naturally the staff have much to learn in the use of this powerful and dangerous remedy. Vole have to feel our way with caution. During the year we have treated

eleven case. Seven of the e were spring catarrh and four malignant tumours. It i too early yet to speak with enthusia m, but so far the results have been encouraging, the more so when one r flect that, e pecially with the spring catarrh ca e , no other form of treatment had been of any avail. The taff are much indebted to rr. eton Christopher for her generous gift. The (( Clinic Scheme" continues to work well. The riot, coming as they did at the height of the ophthalmia sea on, cau ed much interference with their work, and their numbers show a marked decline. The total new cases were 14,271, over 4,000 fewer than 1928, and the operations 2,534, a drop of over 1,000. The numb er of trichiasi operations done at these clinics has fallen to 531. This is a disappointing total, but it may be entirely explained by the disturbed conditions of 1928. It is certainly noteworthy that in the Ho pital of the Order the percentage of trichiasis operations was 42 per cent. as compared with 51 per cent. of the previous year. It does seem a if the di turbed political condition had been great enough to distract the attention of the f llahin from this painful and disabling malady. Four of the Government fedical Officers attended a course of instruction at the Hospital. Dr. aid N a rallah and Dr. Sami hihab took their first course, and Dr. arkis Bodo sian and Dr. Ibrahim Itayium had a « refresher" course. Three Government nurses took their fir t course of four months' duration, and were thereafter posted to the clinic as ophthalmic nurses. Six ophthalmic nurse returned for a (( rcfre her" course of one month's duration. The following table is a summary of the work done at the variou dinics during the year : -

Lastly, I wi h to cxpre s my heartiest thanks to Colonel Ainsworth; to Dr. l\lan 011, the new Sub-\Yarden, who took over shortly before the riots, and had much extra work and anxiety during that time, and to Dr. Hamilton, the H.egistrar, who has worked plendidly under the tnTing condition of the pa t year. It is regrettable that the health of }li. s Ingham, the :JIatron, wa not equal to the strain, and we all wish her a ,. peedy recovery. To the Acting Matron, Miss Dight, to Sister Ellis, and the subordinate taff generally, I am very grateful. No one knows b iter than I do the difficulties they have had to contend with and how well they have surmounted them. ( igned) J. C. STRATHEARN, T1'arden. .1pril, 1930.

To return to the affairs of the Hospital, I have to record that His Excellency The High Commissioner and Lady Chancellor paid an official visit, and expressed their warm appreciation of our work. We are again much indebted to the Linen Guild for their generosity and practical helpfulness in meeting our varied requirements. Amongst the beautiful things sent, mention must be made of another consignment of embroidered quilts. The workmanship of one, labelled as the work of a disabled soldier, was exquisite. Archdeacon Stewart was instrumental in supplying from friends in Chelsea two parcels of finely made linen articles, mostly for use in the operating theatre. And in this connection we are always greatly indebted to Lady Watson, who gives ungrudging and much appreciated service to her beloved Hospital.

s. d.

The Linen Guild still continues to increase in both numbers and money, and consequently in the number of things that are able to be supplied to the Hospital in ] erusalem. Our total this year is £30 more than in the previous year, but the value of the gifts in kind has somewhat lessened, owing we think to the fact that many people have overlooked the List of Gifts wanted in the printed Report of the Hospital. We are therefore sending out a separate list to our members to avoid this possibility. Thanks to the increased subscriptions, we have been enabled to send out the full list of Materials required, and one of the most pleasing results of the year is the gift of twenty-eight blue aprons for the men servants in the Hospital from the members of the Brigade in the Hong Kong district. There have also been inquiries from Brigade members at home to make anything needed for the Hospital, so the Warden has been asked to bear this in mind when sending us a list for this year. The Hospitaller visited the Hospital in the summer, and was very much

impressed by the beauty of the embroidered bedspreads made by the members of the Guild. mong t the ones sent out this y ar two have been worked for u by a badly disabled oldier of the Suffolk Regiment, who "'as paid for his vvork out of the fund. \Ye have al 0 been able to upply, at the \Varden' request, twenty-five abayehs for men, women, and children. The e are eloaks woven of pure wool as thick a a carpet, the industry being in the village of Beit J ala, which lie oppo ite Bethlehem. They are woven to a special pattern for the Ho pital u e, and la t a verv long time. Their total co t wa £20. Then your ommitt e have made a grant of £50 to be put aside for some pecial piece of equipment for the new Annexe, and to be labelled " The Gift of the Ladie ' Linen Guild ", and we hope to add to this urn year by year IDltil we have a sufficient sum to give something really worthy of the part that the Ladies' Linen Guild plays in the Order. The totalli t sent out thi year is as follows : 1 Pair Sheets from Mrs. Hendley. 6 Towels, from Mrs. Hendley. 6 Bath Towels, from the Marchioness of ormanby. 2 Bath Mats, from the Marchioness of Normanb) . 2 Bedspreads from New Zealand. 28 Blue Aprons from S.JA.B., Hong Kong District. 9 ChildI en's Overalls from Mrs. ichol on. Red and Blue Marking Cotton from Mrs. PerO\vne. 12 Army isters' Caps, from Robinia Viscounte ~rOlmtgarret. 32 yards white material for i ters' Uniform 6t yards Red Poplin for Matron's Uniform. 12 \Vhite Nurses' Overalls. 11 Embroidered Bedspreads. 18 dozen Reels Sewing Cotton. 54t yards Hessian for rough aprons. 185t yards Sheeting for operating tables and maid' apron. 24 yards Longeloth for Palestinian maids' cap . 106 yards Apron Cloth for overalls. 60 yards Blue Striped Material for maids' dre ses. 25 pairs Unbleached Sheets. 70 yards Black and White Shirting for men servants. 63 yards Pink and White Shirting for cataract patients. At the moment of writing this the list of next year's, or rather this year's, requirements has not come in from the Warden, but it will be sent round to all our members as soon as received.

Full information as to the work of the St. John Ambulance Association can be obtained on application to the Chief Secretary, St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, London, E .C.l, by whom copies of printed papers will be supplied in reasonable numbe rs w ithout charge, on Reference Numbers or Letters as follow being q uo ted :

THE Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. I CE the introduction in 1922 of first aid as part of the curriculum of a course of instruction for recruits entering the 1\1 tropolitan Police, classes have been held regularly at Peel House and om 1,000 recruits have been instructed annually. Refresher courses have al 0 been held by Police Divisions from time to time and these aTe now to be a more regular feature. \tVith this object in view th~ CommIssioner of Police of the letropolis is selecling a number of P.ohce C?fficers to act a in tructors at refresher classes for holders of first aId certificates in the Force. As first aid has also formed part of the curriculum of the cour e for r cruits joining the City of London Police, who in addition are al 0 required to pass for the medallion of the Association, the Lor:don policeman may now be regarded as a thoroughly competent first alder. Tb r ha al 0 been a noticeable increase in the number of classes held among the Provincial Police which may be ,:-ttributed i~ ~ large meas~re to the recent institution of the National PolIce Competition for the Plm Trophy . fention must also be made of the large number of employees of the London Electric Railways who have assembled at Chiswick and Camden Town for instruction and examination in first aid. Through the medium of centres and detached classes at home . and over ea , the Association has issued during the year 11,819 medallIons, 30,752 labels, and 4,100 pendants, a total increase of 1,632, and through the Priory of Wales 1,138 medallions, 4,602 labels, and 363 pendants; the number of re-examination vouchers issued through detached classes wa 4, ]2.

HISTORY OF THE

A further mark of Dr. N.

This offer was also gratefully accepted, and the cup was competed for at the competition in May.

CORBET

FLETCHER CUP .

The annual competition for the Inter-Railway Challenge Shield presented by the St. John Ambulance Association to the railways of England and Wales was again enthusiastically supported by the railwaymen of the country. The four great railway systems held their own preliminary competitions as usual for the purpose of selecting two teams from each to represent them in the Final, and the number of entries again showed a considerable increase over those of the preceding year.

At the conclusion of the competition the presentation of prizes was presided over by Lord Stanmore, a Knight of Justice of the Order. The Challenge Shield and prizes were presented by Brigadier-General The Hon. Everard Baring, C.V.O., C.B.E., Chairman C?f the Southern Railway, who, in addres ing the teams at the conclusion of the competition, referred to the necessity for a widespread knowledge of first aid to the injured among railwaymen and the value of ambulance competitions. He paid a tribute to the keenness of railway ambulance men, many of whom sacrificed a great deal of their leisure in acquiring a knowledge of the subject and in preparing themselves for competitions. The Police National First Aid Competition for the Pim Challenge Cup again aroused considerable interest. This competition is open to members of the Police Forces of England, Wales, and the Isle of Man who are holders of the first aid certificate of the St. John Ambulance Association. The District Eliminating Competitions for the purpose of selecting a team to represent each Police District in the Final were held in January.

The Final Competition was held at the Northampton Polyt~chnic Institute, Clerkenwell, London, E.C., on 27th February. The Judges were: For the Team Test, Dr. S.

(SecretaryGeneral), the Commissioner of the City of London Police, and a number of County and Borough Chief Constables. Sir Vivian Henderson, in addressing the meeting, referred to the duties of the Police as becoming more and more technical and more skilled each year. The Police, he said, were continually expected to add to their knowledge and responsibilities, and he thought the public had not yet corne to realize the extent of this additional responsibility and the enormous increase in police duties. He expressed the hope that other Police Forces in the country would eventually enter for this Competition in their own district. Owing to the great increase in traffic the Police had to deal with many more accidents, and the necessity for a knowledge of first aid was very much greater than it used to be . The 38th edition of the textbook (( First Aid to the Injured" has been well reviewed in the Press, and a very large number of copies have been sold. The publication showing the main alterations in the revised edition which was completed during the year has been most helpful to those in possession of earlier editions. To enable such persons to become acquainted with the changes permission was given for all examinations during the year and until 1st January, 1930, to be conducted on the 37th or earlier editions of the textbook if so desired.

In view of the large and ever increasing nu~~er ~f accident in the fetropolitan area, the ASSOCIation IS METROPOLIS . formulating a scheme whereby first a.id material may. be readily available. Negotiations have taken. p~ace WIth the MetropolIt~n Police, who have agr ed to allow the ASSOCiation t~ hous~ these first aid outfit in the Police boxes which are being establIshed m the London area. As there will be some hundreds of Police boxes in the Metropolis which will be connected with one another and with the nearest Police Station by telephone, the necessary first aid material will be. ~eadily a vailable in cases of accident, pilfering will be reduced to a mmlmum, and there will be frequent and regular inspection of the material so that the supply in each box is replenished when necessary.

~IS:;I:SI?N

Four DepOts have been established in the provinces~ while in London only three additional applications for eqmpment DEPOTS. have been received, namely, from Oxford House, Bethnal Green the Shoreditch Infant Welfare Centre, and the Ilford Ambulance Divisi~n. Some difficulty has been experienced in finding the necessary personnel to staff the first-mentioned Depot, while the .mana~e.~ent of t~e second has been undertaking by the Haggerston N ursmg DIVISIO~. It IS difficult to understand why there is not more demand for eqmpment, taking into consideration the fact that in London the material is issued free of charge. Apart from this cons.ideration~ 1;h:e running. o~ .a Depot provides some variation from the ordu!-ary actiVIties of a DIVISIOn, and their existence is of the greatest benefit to the poorer members of the community.

The work of this Department has been well maintained throughout the past year. The total number of removals made was 2,167. Several of the individual journeys have been of considerable length. Amongst them may be mentioned the following: -London to Scorton, Yorkshire; London to Darlington ; London to Porthcawl; London to Bournemouth (5 times); London to Gloucester; London to Stoke-on-Trent; London to Chard, omerset; London to Stockton-on-Tees. An interesting case was that of the victim of an aeroplane crash who had to travel upon a special surgical bed. The patient and his bed were taken charge of at Calais, brought to Dover, thence by rail to London, where he was finally placed in a Nursing Home. The surgical bed upon which the patient was travelling was far too large to get into a Motor Ambulance, therefore it was necessary to send eight men to Calais to carry the patient on his bed to the Channel Steamer, and thence to the train at Dover, and a special conveyance was arranged in London to complete the journey. This work was carried out to the entire sati faction of the invalid and his medical attendants. The Department has five Motor Ambulances, namely:Armstrong Siddeley 6 cylinders 30 h.p. Renault 6 cylinders 27 h.p. Crossley 1 4 cylinders 25-30 h.p. Crossley 2 4 cylinders 25-30 h.p. Morris 4 cylinders 20 h.p. The Crossley No. ] and the Morris cars are generally used as reserves in case of breakdowns.

VOTE OF

THANKS.

The thanks of the Ambulance Committee on parchment in recognition of distinguished services in furthering the objects of the Association were awarded during the year to:-

Charles Henry Liversidge. Charles Bartlett. Miss Winifred Sloane-Evans.

George Elton Bates. Samuel William Crow. George Pennington.

The succe s of the Association and the expansion of its work in all parts of the British Empire i largely attributable to the devoted service of tho e members of the medical profession who (often at great inconvenience to themselves) act as lecturers and examiners, and to the Centre and Class Secretaries and Instructor , and many others, who labour so unselfi hly from year to year in spreading a knowledge of First Aid to the Injured. To all these the Director and Committee offer their grateful thanks. CONCLUSION.

PRIORY FOR WALES. Good progress in the recognized branches of activity, which has been a feature of the review of each subsequent year, has been well maintained, whilst much useful propaganda work has been carried out. The Ambulance Department returns are indicative of the g neral advancement. The number of people attending First Aid and Home Nursing classe was 13,301, that is 704 more than in 192 , and it is interesting to note that of this figure over ten hundred were Home Nursing students. It i satisfactory to find the great majority of these students sat for examination and 12,235 qualified for awards which, as the following comparative figures show, is an increase of 481 on previous records:NUMBER OF CERTIFICATES AND AWARDS GAl ED. 192 1929 1927 4,747 5,249 First Aid 5,3 116 132 9 Marine 40 20 64 Mining 522 596 561 Home ursing 1 1 Home Hygiene 1 Sanitation 1,192 1,138 1,260 Medallions 4,602 4,370 4,011 Labels 322 311 363 Pendants

The Priory has used its influence as a National Organization in the development of Ambulance work in all spheres of public life. For many years it has pressed the Authorities to make provision for the carrying of First Aid equipment on public service vehicles and the training of drivers and attendants in First Aid and it is hoped that the Minister of Transport will shortly institute legislation to deal effectively with this. In the meantime the Priory is endea vouring to persuade Licensing Authorities to make such provision a condition of the licence and in several towns these efforts have been successful. Every Omnibus Company operating in Wales was communicated with and as a result the Priory was asked to arrange classes for many of those employed.

With regard to the question of First Aid in the Mines the Priory has pres ed the Home Office to make it compulsory for the First Aid Certificate issued by the Priory to be renewed every three years as in the case of the Certificates of the Board of Trade, issued to Masters and Mates of Merchant Vessels and to Skippers and Second Hands of Fishing Trawl r . uch an arrangement would ensure that the man in charge wa a thoroughly competent First Aid man. First id in the Schools has also received attention. It is thought that not only hould ambulance equipment be available in case of accident to the children, but that th re should be at least one teacher in each school trained in First Aid. Public opinion has been expressed on many occa. ion in favour of the introduction of ambulance training into the chool urriculum, and it would, no doubt, be of more practical value to th children than many of the ubjects at present included. nee again the Commi sioner for vVales was elected Honorary Director of mbulance for the Royal National Eisteddfod, which last year met at Liv rpool, and in organizing the Ambulance Competitions, which are a r gular feature of the Eisteddfod, the Priory had the most efficient co-operation of the Liverpool Corps of the Brigade under their Corps IIp rintend nt, Colonel G. C. E. impson. The genial, courteous and kind-h art d Commissioner, Colonel C. J. Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., took k n int Test in all the arrangement. In th two open Competitions for the (( Lady Lewis and (( Lady Bute " up of the Priory, the Treharris Team and Liverpool Nursing Team were successful. J J

At th r que t of the Royal WeI h Agricultural Show, the Priory arranged the Competitions in connection with the annual show held at Cardiff in Augu t. Teams from Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire and Glamorgan were succe sful. The Welsh Railways Contest took place in Cardiff on 14th June, and the " Harry vVebb Cup was won by the Barry Loco. G.W.R. Team. The Priory organized the Competition for the (( Devereux Cup, the annual eliminating contest for Police Teams in the No. 8 District, comprising Wales, Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, of which the Chief Constable of Cardiff, Mr. James A. Wilson, O.B.E., is Secretary. The Motor Ambulance Transport Service has become recognized as an integral part of the industrial life of the community. Steady progress was made in this direction in 1929. The Priory cars carried 5,094 cases, covering a distance of 96,498 miles, an increase of 561 cases and 3,084-! mileage. The high standard of efficiency always aimed at wa kept up, and the ervice improved by the replacement of several old cars. No car stations were closed, whilst the opening of one at Cymmer, Port Talbot, added a further link to the chain of cars the Priory is establishing throughout the South Wales coalfield. JJ

The past year has been one of much interest in connection with this Department. The Priory has widened the scope of the DepOts and concentrated on the development of those in existence rather than extend the area of the service.

The centre has continued to be active in organizing cla es for instruction in first aid and home nursing.

By the death of Colonel Geoffrey Howard on 3rd July the centre has lost an untiring friend, whose interest in the work began in the earliest days of the centre and without whose help a great deal of the work done in Bedford could never have been accomplished.

gratuitously, and also to those members of the Brigade who assisted with the practical instruction of classes. The co-operation of local education secretaries, school correspondents and Police authorities is another factor worthy of mention. Two important features of the centre's training department are the constant stream of Merchant Navy students qualifying at the Plymouth Navigation School, and the remarkable interest of boys and girls in the preliminary courses. Devon is particularly rich in ambulance cadet organizations . The section committee at Plymouth arranged for the removal of 27,323 accident and in valid case , and at the Plymouth "Vall di aster in April five ambulances \ver on the scene within ten minutes. Another successful year has been experienced and a record number of award obtained. l\Iany accidents-- ome of them very seriouS--'-have been attended to by the members of the clas es. The outstanding feature was the opening in December of a new ambulance hall for the use of the classes. ECKINCTON

Steady progress has been made during the past year. A division of the Brigade has been formed and has proved to be a great asset to the town: arrangements are now being made to form a nursing division. In addition several new classes of instruction have been held. GREAT

YARMOUTH .

The centre has again had a successful year although there has been a slight decrease in the numbers passing through the classes. Through the generosity of the executors of the late Mr. Redman, of Halifax, who kindly handed over to the centre the sum of £600, the centre has acquired a new and up-to-date ambulance. The invalids' requisite loan section is still maintaining its usefulness, over 500 articles having been loaned out during the year. HALIFAX.

The centre is making considerable progress. There has been an increase both in the number of classes organized and the candidates attending them. The centre trophy was competed for on 1st J une, when five teams competed and were highly commended by the judges. The trophy was presented by Sir Arthur J .

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM CE TRES.

The awards gained during the year were formally presented by the Lieut.-Governor in the Douglas Court House, but in some cases the clas es preferred that the distribution should take place locally, in order to stimulate local interest. The competitions for the cup and shield were again held at the Cunningham Camp. ISLE OF MAN.

During the year instruction has steadily increased. Various collieries and large firms in the industrial area have enconraged their employees to study first aid by giving many useful privil g s and opportunities. l\Iunicipal and local authorities give special cone 'ions to their servants with first aid and home nursing certificates, and among th police and tramwaymen ambulance instruction is now included in their training. The centre has sustained a severe loss by the death of the Right Honourable The Earl of Harewood, K.C.V.O., a pa t-president, and 1\1r. J. vVormald, J.P., honorary solicitor for the centre. LEEDS .

The centre reports a continued and well-sustained interest by the public generally in the many activities of both the As ociation and the Brigade. The headquarters have provided the n c sary facilities for the further organizing and consolidation of ambulance work and are proving of the utmost value. The instruction of m n incarc rat d in H.M. Pri on, Leicester, inaugurated in 1927, has been contiOLlcd, and of a total of 101 men in tructed, 97 have gained the A sociation's award. The transport service continues to be one of the leading f atures of the work locally. The number of calls for service rec ived and r ponded to during the year has been 4,920, and the total mileag cov red by the ambulances during the year was 32,459. Next year will see the Jubilee of the centre, inaugurated in 1880 by a small band of men and women. LEICESTER.

Thirty-one classes have been held during the year, the number of tudents attending the examination showing a dccreas on the number for the previous year, despite efforts to bring to the notice of \Vomen's Institutes and other organizations the value of the work of the A sociation. There has been a gradual improvement in the financial po ition of the centre, but there is still a large debit balance. The sick room stores in various parts of the county continue to work satisfactorily and are a great boon to the people. The work, however, is much curtailed for want of funds with which to purchase stores and pay for the maintenance of the depOts. L INC OLN .

The work of the centre has again retained its high standard, the number of awards showing a further increase over last year.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATIO

The district ambulance committees, elected in August, 1927, have been the means of creating interest in many places where classes had not previously been held, or where a class had not been held for orne years. The number of first-year students shows a slight decrease on the previous 12 months, probably attributable to the lack of new staff available from which to recruit new members. Th maintenance of a figure of over 2,000 first-year students over a p riod of three cOffiecutive years must be regarded as satisfactory . Interest in competition work among t the staff continues to grow. Sixtyfour team qualified to take part in the preliminary competition which wa held at rewe and Derby from 1 th to 22nd larch inclusive. The final competition for the Directors' Challeng hield and prizes was held in the Midland Grand Hotel, London, on 19th April. The Crewe Works and Liverpool Torth Docks t am repre_ented the Railway in the InterRailway ambulance competition on 31st larch. The first International ompetition between the two I ading teams in each of the company's final competition in England and Wales and Scotland was held at Gla gow on 1 )th June. England and \Vales was represented by the r we \Vork and Liverpool North Docks tams, the latter gaining first place and the former econd place. Th Central Ambulance Council .

One of the most important event of the y ar \Va the visit of a delegation from London headquarter ', commis ioned by H.l\I. The King to tour the Commonwealth and Dominion of w Zealand on behalf of the Order of St. John. The -teady increa e in the number of branches of the centre i most gratifying . In a gr at many of the country centres, where it ha not been practicable to form (liyi. ion of the Brigade, the voluntary ambulance and fir t aid "work ha been enthusiastically carried out by the certiilcated member ' of tbe cla ses 'formed by the branch. The usual vigorou propaganda wa carried out during the year in connection with the formation of cla sc::-. and sale of stores, the secretary of the cenh-e visiting numerou town and holding meetings or giving lectures with film and licle, also interviewing influential officials of the district. and repr s ntatiy> of various organizations. NEW SOUTH WALES.

The centre reports that there can be no doubt whatever of the value of the visit of the delegation to the tate during. the year, and it expresse it appreciation, toaether with that of the Queensland Ambulance Tran pOli Brigade, for the unfailing kindness and courtesy of the delegation, and for their acquiescence in the heavy programme prepared for their short visit to Queen land. The competition for the shield presented to the Cenh-al Technical College was carried out for the second time. Considerable interest is being taken in the teaching of first aid in the schools, and it is hop d, ultimately, to arrange for it to become a part of the curriculum.

QUEENSLAND .

At a meeting held in October it was d cided to re-e tabli h TASMANIA. the centre, a provisional commitie'2 being appointed to draw up a constitution. This has now been approved, and the work of the centre is making great headway, several clas e having already been formed. SOUTHERN

During the year 52 classes were held in the various part of the State . The principle that all member of the Constabulary of the State and the Fire Brigades should qualify under the rules of the Association still continues, and the railway department, while not enforcing a first aid qualification, offers strong inducement to its employees to obtain such . The visit of the delegation was much appreciated, the council of the centre reporting that its visit will undoubtedly enhance the work of the Order in Western Australia, and further cement the cordial relations existing between headquarters in London and the centre. The Ambulance Transport Service has completed the seventh year of its existence. During the past year ~J,381 calls were received, a decrease of 27 on the number for the previous year, the mileage covered by the vans being 20,024'5, an increase of 3,165'5 over that for the previous year.

The total number of awards issued during the year i ] O· per cent. in excess of any of the highest returns made during the past decade. The excellent showing has been chiefly due to the united [fort of the -e\ eral provincial councils, company centres, the special councils of the Canadian National Railways, Canadian Pacific Railway, the Bell Tel phone Company of Canada and the pecial centres of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Department of National Defence. Follo\\ ing upon the i ue of the R th edition of (( Fir t Aid to the Injl1r d the committee of the branch has had a French translation prepared, al 0 the first French h-an lation of the textbook, (( A Preliminary COl1n, of First Aid to the Injured."

ABRIDGED REPORTS FRO~1 CENTRES.

The various philanthropic activities of the centre have continued throughout the year. 209 persons were successful in passing first aid examinations, while 45 qualified for home nursing certificates. 1,198 cases were transported by the ambulance transport service, the distance traversed being 8,815 miles. The visit of the delegation has given a decided impetus to the work.

OTACO .

The centre interests itself largely in promoting the welfare of the Brigade and both organizations are happily situated in the ambulance hall erected in HJ27. Through the instrumentality of one of the vice-presidents of the centre the Rotary Club undertook to find at least 100 honorary members of the Association at 5s. each, the amount to be spent on great coats for tho e doing public duty on the sports ground. The amount receiyed wa £26 5s. WAHCAHUI.

The work of the centre has been well maintained during the pa t year. The assistance and co-operation o£ the Association with the free ambulance was very gratifying .

WELLINCTON .

The work of th centre has been steadily progressing during CAPE TOWN . the year, a gratifying feature being the extension of the teaching in outlying di tricts. A sJ:eady increase in teaching amongst the juniors, and intere t in the pecial classes for factory workers, is being maintained. The annual competitions in connection with the floating trophie have been competed for with great keenness by all conc rned. 1 he public tramway seryice is e pecially v,Tell equipped in both men and mat rial, all driv rs and conductors holding the necessary first aid qualifications. Valuable services are also rendered in the "ariou mines by mcmb r of the Association. CRIQUAlANO

The ' teady increase in the work of the centre has continued throughout the year, and it is pleasing to report that s veral chool ' have taken advantage of the facilities provided by the c ntre for in truction in preliminary fir t aid and home nursing. In order to augment the building fund the committee organized a fair, which was held in the TO\\n Hall, Durban, on 5th July, which was opened by H.R.H. Princ ss Alice, Counte_s of Athlone. NATAL.

The \ ork of the centre has contmu d satisfactorily during the year. The Government Department of Posts and the printing works have recently encouraged the employees to undertake cour e of instruction in first aid, and the work at the Police DepOt, Pretoria, continue to receive the active support of the authoritie. A circular giving full particulars of the course of instruction was i sued to all factories in the Witwatersrand area in order to meet the requirements of the factory regulations, and re ulted in cla ses being formed amongst the factory employees.

PUBlI~ D~TY . The ~alls made for Brigade services continue to increase and It IS .encouragmg t? ~ecord at. the arne time the increa e in the suppor~ gIven by the ~IVIC Authonties, which has materially a si ted the Bngade to extend ItS sphere of activitie . Two exa.mples of the form in w~1~ch ~hi as istance has been gi\"en are as follows.. In o~e case the Mumclpallty found it nece ary to provide a new PolIce tatlOn, and when arr.ar:~ing the new building a wing was added for the use of the local DIVI IOn containing ambulance room lecture room, and garage for t~ree Ambulances, together with the Polic~ Parade ground. In anot~e~. mstance, the Town Council built Headquarters for. the local DIVIsIOn, charging only a mall rent for the accommodatIon. Reference to the Commissioners' Reports will show the immense aI?-0u.nt of work ~ndertaken by the various Units in their respective DIstncts or CountIes. During the year t.he Brig~d~ v:rere called upon to carry out some ext~emely heary dutI~s, and It IS mtere ting to note that although the ~utIes occurred m vanous parts. of the country, the arrangements made l~ each case w~re ex~ellent. ThIS confirms my opinion that the organizatIOn of t~e Bngad~ IS sound and capable of dealing with any emergency whether It be NatIOnal or Social. I~ the foregoing paragraph I refer particularly to the following dutIes : Boy Scouts World Jam.boree. -The Brigade undertook day and night duty at the. Camp, and l~ many instances members of No.4 District gave up theIr sumr:ner holIdays to take part in the work. During the duty 495 cases receIved attention. '[he Royal .National Eisteddfod for Wales held at Liverpool.-The Bn~ade supplIed 471 Officers and members of No . 4 District at different penods, and treated over 50 cases. The Schneider .Tr~phy Contest in the Solent.-The Brigade undertook the whole orgamzatIon of the ambulance arrangements at the request of the. ~oyal Aero . ~lub, the City of Portsmouth Police and other authontIes. In addItIon to maintaining Ambulance Statio~s along the course of the Race, road patrols were posted from Westminster Bridge (London) to Portsmouth; and at Alton, Winchester, Basingstoke, Southampton, and Bournemouth, to deal with road accidents. The

total personnel employed was 80G men and women, 14 cadets, supported by 14 Ambulance fully equipped and many Brigade Surgeons. This duty wa covered by No .1,2 (Hants and Bucks), and 8 Districts. I am particularly indebted to the Taval Authorities at Portsmouth for their valuable help in placing accommodation and bedding at the di po~al of 150 Brigade men who were stationed at Portsmouth overnight. Fllneral of General Bramwell Bootlz.-No. 1 District covered a route Gmile long and treated over 400 case. No.8 District as isted in staffing the ity tations of the route. 7 lie .Yoytlz-East Coast Exh1'bition.-The Brigade supplied personnel from 11th ~Iay to 2l1lh October, 10 members per day taking duty in relays from 10 a.m. till 10.30 p.m., treating during the period 4,529 cases. R oyal T'isits. - On all occasions when members of the Royal Family have viited a town the Brigade have in the majority of cases relieved the Polic Force of the ambulance details, and made all the nece sary arrangements. Two of the heaviest dutie in this connection was the \'i it of T.l~.II. The Duke and Duchess of York to Maidstone and Eastbourne . .\t :\Iaid tone 7 miles of route were covered by 395 members of '0. 8 District; and at. Ea tbourne 3~ mile of route were al 0 covered by the. ame District, the duty in thi latter ca e commencing at 10 a.m. and finishing at -1.45 p.m. .\n analy::.j. of th r turn how that 454,626 case of accident and ~udden illm - were r corded a having been attended by Brigade per onnel during the ycar, a.n increa-e of 136,955 ca es stated in my last report. H. 'iercnc to the rcport of the Lady upcrintcndent-in-Chief will hm\' that the . . Tursing Divi -ion are taking their full hare of Brigade work, and ar carrying out yeoman ervice. The attendance at ivil Hospitals has been well maintained and the m mber undertaking tbi duty appreciate the experience gained . During the year 11,377 Ho pital and 888 linic attendance are officially recorded as ha\"ing been made by member of Nursing Divi ion. There are doubtlc' many other attendances in addition to the above 'w hich have not been reported. I de ire to place on r cord my sincere thanks to the Lady upcrint ndent-in-Chief for her ucces ful effort in extending the field of work of th nursing personnel and for her valuable assistance in all matters affccting thc Nur ing Divi ions. The past year has been out tanding by reason of the . d b y t h e B' . h er numb er 0f b mI u ances acqmre nga d e elt by gift or the result of public appeal. In the majority of ca e the Brigade Ambulances maintain a transport service for their town including Police work, and are greatly encouraged and financially a sisted by annual grants from the Civil Authorities or pecial concessions which enable them to raise sufficient funds to meet the cost of such service. In some instance the work is so heavy that paid drivers have to be employed, but in the majority of cases the services are run entirely by volunteers. The self-sacrifice on the part of members carrying out this \vork is evident from the following figure. There are 212 Ambulances operated by the Brigade and during the year they removed 4G,571 patient, and travelled 526,814 miles carrying out these removals.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIO~ER .

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

H.R.H. Prince George inspected No.1 (Prince of \Yales's) District in Hyde Park, many members of the Order being

present. The Sub-Prior of the Order honoured No. 5 District by presiding at a Meeting of the Sheffield Corps, and addressing the members. During the year I inspected the Bournemouth, Hull, Bri tol, Cheltenham, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Birmingham Corp, al 0 the Units in Kent, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire. I also opened Headquarters at Bournemouth and Southend-onea. The Assistant Chief Commissioner inspected the South-Ea t Lancashire Units and the Leicester Corps. The Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief inspected Units in Suffolk, \Yarwickshire, Cheshire, and Dorsetshire. The Lady Superintendent-in-Chief inspected Nursing Units at El ecar, Richmond, Ealing, Twickenham, Plymouth, Parks tone, Birmingham, Rotherham, Thrybergh, Wombwell, Doncaster, Markham Main, Goole, Askern Main, Bullcroft Main, New Edlington, the Denaby Main Corps, Ironbridge Corps, Shrewsbury Corps, City of Exeter, PaigntQn, Newton Abbot, and Torquay. I am pleased again to report that in all cases the parades were well organized, the Officers and other ranks smartly turned out, and that all ranks showed great keenness in their work. The esprit de corps was all that could be desired . COMPETITIONS. The Annual Competitions were again held at the Great Central Hotel, London, the results being as follows :-

The Shields, Cups, and Prizes were presented by H.R.H. The Duchess of York, Commandant-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and Divisions . The competitions were again most successful in every way. The Brigade are deeply indebted to Mr. J ohn Maxwell and fr. Joseph Crossman for the continued invaluable help, which is always so gladly and freely given. To the Judges' Committee, Judges, my Organizing Staff, and all those who assisted in any way, I tender my grateful thanks.

The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve has been maintained at full strength during the year. I append extracts from the Inspecting Medical Officer's report to the Medical Director General of the Navy : RESERVES.

" The attendance at the inspections was quite satisfactory, 83'6 per cent of the total strength being present, and only 3'2 per cent heing absent without being excused. Those Reservlsts who were excused attendance were miners who co uld not be released from their work. The standard of efficiency attained in the various practical First Ald Tests which were set was very satisfactory, and the men \vere zealous and well disciplined. " It IS again my pleasant duty to record my appreciation of th e services render ed, and the continued interest shown by the Acting Chief Commissioner, by Brigade Headquarters StaiI, and by the Officers of the Units of the Brigade to which Reservists belong. " In conclusIOn I have to report, as Inspecting ::'ledical Officer, that the Royal ~ Taval AuxllIary Sick Berth Reserve is up to full strength ann is ready for immediate service."

~~~I~~~~S

The stren~th of the Reserve on the 31st December was 1,033, an mcrease of 228 for the year. 460 Reservi t underwent training at ivlilitary Hospitals, this being the full number authorized for training by the \:Var Office for the official year. The r ports received from the various Hospitals not only show that the men carry out their duties to the entire satisfaction of the military authorities, but that such authorities appreciate their keenness and ability to carry out the duties allotted to them.

The Whitby Char-a-banc Disaster is an illustration of some of the work done on road duty. The Officer in charge of the Post staffed by the Whitby Division reported as follows: "It is impossible to describe the tangled bleeding and broken mass of humanity lying on the soil in the garden . !fany were unconscious and the groans of others most pitiable. Members of the Division were soon on the spot with large supplies of first aid material. Forty people were injured, thirty of these being stretcher cases, all of which were removed to Whitby General Hospital in record time. The most erious were transported in the Motor Ambulances . On arrival at the Hospital the Officers and members took duty in the Operating Theatre for many hours."

But for such plendid ervice doubtless many valuable live would have been lost in this terrible disa ter. I n this connection I tender my grateful thanks to all ranks who have sacrificed their week-ends to undertake this duty. Th ir re 'pon e to calls for road duty is a true refiection of the -pirit which animates their work.

I was especially pleased that the Lady uperintendent and one of her members from the Dartmouth ?\ursing Division, although they were unable to parade at my In pection at Paignton, took the trouble to come all that long di tance to meet me, and there i no doubt even to attend a large Inspection without her members mu t be an incentive and help to any new Lady Sup rintendent. My In pection at hrewsbury, No. 7 District, gave me the greatest pleasure, the Commissioner and Lady District Superintendent having made th most plendid arrangements, with the generous assistance of the Mayor, for the entertainment of all the Divisions. I must al 0 refer to my In pection at Doncaster, No.5 District, and congratulate the Commi sioner on the mo t able assistance given to him on that occasion by all his splendid taft, and Irs. Pickering, Lady District Officer, on her exceptional power of organization and the trouble taken. HOSPITALS .

Variou letter of appreciation have been received from ho. pital . The :Jlatron of the London Ho pital write : "I think it is splendid the regular "vay the member come and the majority do 0 wcll and are 0 enthusiastic. Two or three have now been coming for some long time." Another Matron writes: "The member have the last year done excellent work and we very much appreciate having thcm." The Chairman of the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital ha. again written to expre s great appreciation of the work done in this hu~pjtal by members of the Brigade. The following letter has been received from the :Jfatron of thc outh Devon and East Cornwall Hospital, Plymouth: "I ha\"e much pIca ure in testifying to thc efficient and willing service render d tu thi - hospital by the ~ur ing members of the t. John Ambulance Brigade.

I hope they will continue to come to us." Hospital attendances detailed from my office number 5,7,13: thi ' figure shows a 15 per cent incr a e on last year' attendance, which I think you will agree, Sir, is highly sati factory. Charing ro head the list with 1,548 attendances, the London comes next with 1,3.)0 attendances; each attendance is of at lea t three hours' duration. Other hospitals attended are the ~Iiddle ex; Royal Free; I~oyal London Ophthalmic; St. James', Balham; Garrett Ander on; t.

You will notice that this year we have added several new names to our list of hospitals attended. Hospital work done in other Districts is as fo11o,,\s : 0.:2 District, Bucks: 357 attendances at the Royal Bucks County Ho pital, Aylesbury; Princess Alice Home; King Edward VII Hospital, lough; Buckingham Cottage and Chesham Cottage Hospitals. Hants: One member attended the South Hants Hospital and one the Lymington Cottage Hospital as required. Somerset: Several members have attended the \Vestonsuper-Mare Hospital. \Viltshire: 438 hours were put in at the windon and North Wilts Hospital last spring, when the hospital staff was badly depleted by illness.

No.· 6 District: Members attended the vVhitby "Memorial Hospital, the Tynemouth J ubilec Infirmary, and the Ingham Infirmary, the Knight Memorial Hospital where 241 days' duty were put in, and the Newcastle Home for Incurables . No.7 District: Members have attended hospital at Church Stretton, and Madeley, the Broseley Hospital, and the Bridgenorth Infirmary. No. 10 District: Several

members attended the East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital, and a letter from .the Matron shows how very much the work has been appreciated. Ho Intal work has, no doubt, becn undertaken in other Districts not mentioned, but information is not to hand. In addition to the hospitals many Clinics and \Velfare Centres have be n regularly attended throughout the year all over the country, and many member have put in their eight days' V.A.D. training. The general arrangements on the day of the competition were this year in the very capable hands of 11rs. Tweedale, Lady Di. trict uperintendent No.4 District, assisted by Mrs. Birkbeck, Lady District uperintendent No.5 District. I should like to take this opportunity of expre. ing my very grateful thanks to these Officers and all other on my taff for their very valuable help on this occa ion. The }Iatron-in- !lief, Q.A.L\I. .S., had most kindly promised to judge the practical nursing work for us, but unfortunately at the last moment she wa. unable to get away from the \Var Office, but we were ycry pl a d to welcome ::\Iiss Phillips, one of the Matron-in-Chiefs Principal ::\Iatron_, \Vho mo. t kindly took r.1iss Osborne's place. To 11 'r and also to }Iiss Cochranc, }Iatron of Charing Cross Hospital, and ~Ii')s Todcl, of t. James' Hospital, Balham, both of whom take such a keen int re t in our members and who have so kindly helped us on oth r occa ion, we are mo t grateful. It was a \·cry great honour and pleasure to have H.R.H. the Duchess of York, our Commanclant-in- hief, with us to present the Shields and Priz . .ompetition \:'as very keen amongst the contesting teams and the hI ld was carned of[ by the Bournemouth Nursing Division. This t am gained 5:2H marks out of a possible maximum of 785. Hampstead fullowed with '::>23'75 marks and to this team went the Corbet Fletcher" up and alo the t, Chalmer "Trophy, whilst the ,t Lady :;.\lountgarret" Cup for bed-making went to Guildford.

The number of camps attended this year shows a further · . 55. mcrease over t 11e num b er f or Iast year, t h e figure bemg Many appreciative report have been received from Camp Commandants on the help rendered by Brigade members. In addition to the Girl Guide Camps we received an urgent request for help at a camp to be held at Burnham Beeches for 200 Stepney children by the Iayor of tepney. Although this request was not received until late on \Vednesday afternoon and the camp commenced on Friday, I am glad to say I was able to obtain the help required, i.e. two members for a fortnight, with very little delay. The members were drawn from No.1 District. In conclusion, I would say my greatest disappointment in the work is that all the Nursing Divisions have not formed Voluntary Aid Detachments. I cannot help thinking if the District Staffs could put the matter more clearly before their members every Nursing Division would within a. year . fo~m .a V ..A.D. The Eastern Area No. 1 District is very dlSapP?mtmg m thIS respect, and I have met several other disappointments m the country. I do hope the District Staffs will this year assist C IR L CUIDE AMPS.

me by really working hard to get V.A.D. formed. I am certain the day will come when the rank and file will be very sorry they have not joined, and I often find that the hindrance to the formation of \ .A.D. comes from the uperintendents and Officers who do not put the matter before their members. I should like to thank all my plendid Lady District Superintendent, Lady Di trict and County Officers, for the very great help they haye given me in the work during the past year.

The \\ hole Company mu ch regre tted your una\'oidable absence through mdlsposlllon, and abo the ahsence of Lady \\'ilkinson, as since your connect.ion \\Ith til(' Brigadc yOU han' al\\ays don e the Distntt t.he honour of attending. It IH1<l also been hopecl that. th e Eight Hon. J. l{. Clynes, the Home Secretary, \\ ould ha ve lwvn prescnt, but al the last moment he was obliged to send an apology beIng pre\'('ntecJ. from ollling. The dinner and dance \\'l'n' much enjoyed, the success this year again being largely due to the indefatlgahk energy of DIstrict Ollicer Captain Frank, the Dinner Secretary. -I he social side of thc Brigade is olle that I strive to encourage, and I myself atlc'nd as man' functIOns as I (,',111. Three of t.he Areas ha\'c annually a Dancc open to all their members, which I am cOl1\'mced makes for t.lle general welfare of the I>istricL 1hmng the past year,) on made the appointments as ounty Surgeons to four of th e Areas, and as the Ofiiccrs st:iL:ctcd are all keen and have done much work in the past for tIlt: BrIgade, I am sure t.hat they WIll be of great assistance to the ASSIstant Commissioners under whom they work. From t.he report of thc Public Duty Olhccrs you will see how the work has so greatly Increa. ed, and I . hould again like to draw your attention to the amount of lime that Lady District Supt:rintcndent :'Iiss Hiu lou t anu District Officer Captain Goodley devotc to their duties in ddcliling the Personnel. I receive invariably gratciul letters from t.hc Huthoritl(:s, etc., that \\'e help, and I consider that this Successful work, the pnnClpal object of the Brigaue, is largely due to the untiring work of these Officers . Captain Goodley often interviews the Organizers of the Exhibitions, race meetings, etc., himsclf, Irequcntly inspccting the stations formcu, and shows the greatest tact in dcaling with the difhcult.ies ",hen they arise. lIe has the happy combination of a genial good tempcr together with the ability of getting his orders carried out.

There are 7 active Ambulance Divisions in the County, 2 Nursing Divisions, and 2 Cadct DivIsions; the personnel being 243 men, 51 women, and 54 cadets, making a total of 348, which is an increase of 22 on the previous year. The Divisions were inspected by yourself at Henley, when all ranks were greatly pleased to meet the Chief Commissioner, and were very appreciative of the excellent arrangements which had been made for the Inspection and Service by the County Commissioner for Buckinghamshire. I desire to thank the members of the Brigade in Berkshire for their kind assistance at all times and for the very efficient way in which they carry out their ambulance and nursing duties.

22nd February, 1930. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending 31st December, 1929, and am glad to be able to state that interest is ma.intained throughout this Count.y and several new Divisions have been formed. All the Ambulance and 1 ursing Divisions have submitted proper annual returns, and appear to be doing good work in their respective areas. Two Cadet Divisions out of seven have failed to render returns and, consequently, the question of their retention on our strength must be investigated this year. There were, on 31st December, 1929, 15 effective Ambulance Divisions, 10 effective Nursing Divisions, and 6 effective Cadet Pivisions, with a total strength in the County of 10.1 oincers and 852 other ranks, an increase over the previous year of 3 Ambulance Divisions with 4 oftic rs and 16 other ranks. . I deeply regret having to record the death of Miss Eose Alexander, Lady Supermtendent of the Shirley ursing and Cadet Divisions. This lady had completely won the confidence and affection of all members, and we have suffered an irreparable loss by her sudden and untimely demise.

I am able to report, however, that the new officers selected to fill these post.s all enjoy the confidence and respect of their Divisions, and the efficiency of the Ulllt.S should not be impaired. . Competitions have been keen throughout the Count.y, and a great fil~lp ha.s ?~en given to this branch of our work by the success of the Bournemouth Nursll1g DIvIsIOn in ,,-inning the" Perrott" Shield, and so bringing it to Hampshire for the first time in our history. Public duty has been carried out to my complete satisfaction. Quite an appreciable amount of road duty has been undertaken and our beach huts at Alverstoke, Boumemouth, and Southbourne have, if anything, enhanced their reputations for quiet efficiency. The fact that 2,552 recorded cases of aCCidents haye been attended in Hampshire is, I submit, ample proof that t.he work of the year has been satisfactory in this respect. The financial condition of the Brigade in Hampslllre is, on t.he "hole, satisfactory, and our Divisional Superintendents are keenly alive to t.he nece.sity of InCreaSll1g their funds by all the legitimate means at their di posal. I feel that the year under review has been most successful in every respect, and I attribute this entirely to the wonderful support I have received from all ranks "Where all have done so much it is impossible to single out individuals, and I have expressed my thanks to all officers and members for their untiring dcyotion to our great cause.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1929. The total st.rength of the Brigade in the County is now 230, as compared with 140 in December, 1928. This is chiefly accounted for by the energy displayed by the officers of the new Banbury Division, especially by that of its Divisional Surgeon, Dr. Gardiner-Hill, who worked hard to raise over £ 1,100 for a new Ambulance, uniforms for the men, etc. Two new Divisions have been formed, viz. at Witney and a Cadet Division at Oxford. J . C. Chesterman, who has served for years in the Oxford Corps, was appointed Superintendent of the 'W itney Division. The most important event of the year was the Inspection of the t.hree countiesBerks, Bucks, and Oxon-at Harpsden Court, Henley (kindly lent by Lieut .-Col. Noble) by the Chief Commissioner on 30th June. After the inspection a Drumhead Service was held in the grounds, conducted by the Rev. Edgar Rogers, C.B.E., Chaplain of the Order of St. John . Banbury and Woodstock Divisions being unable to be present were subsequently inspected by myself. On 28th July a Field Day was held in Wytham Park, by the kind permission of Colonel R. N. ffennell, who also offered us all the help we required. Although rain fell heavily a considerable amount of good work was done under a scheme prepared by Divisional Surgeon Watson Skinner; and the men's spirits were in no way damped when they sat down to tea at the conclusion of the operations. During the year the members have continued to perform many public duties at Fetes, Shows, Football Matches, etc.

II II

DISTRICT.

In 1929 1,255 cases were treated, which number would doubtless be largely increased if all the cases treated were recorded. There have been somewhat numerous promotions among the Officers and .C.O.s during the year which, I feel sure, will increase the efficiency and esprit de corps of the Brigade 111 the County. I again wish to thank the Officers, N.C.O.s, and Men for the loyal support they have aliorded me during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. E.

Two new _\mbulance DivisIOns have been registered during the year, one at Cleve-don and the other at \\'eston-super-:: \Iare (the Gas " 'orks ' Division) . The effectIve strength of the Brigade in Somerset stands at present at 9 Ambulance and 3 Xursmg Divisions, "lth a personnel of 11 Surgeons, 19 Ambulance Officers, 4 Lad\' ..\ mbulance Officers, 251 :'lIen, and 5 Ambulance Sisters, a total strength of 3-l3 Dunng t.he year many and varied Public Duties have been undertaken by the Divisions, and a large amount of creditable work has been performed. A large amount of transport work has been undertaken, the Bath Division having dealt \nth ~26 cases, involving a mileage of 5,176 miles, \Veston-super-Alare 373 cases, Bridgwater 113 cases with a mileage of 1, 141 miles, and l\Iinehead 96 cases Wlt.h a mileage of 2,479 miles, these are the most prominent. In all, 1,411 cases have been dealt with. The fll1anCIal po itwn af all Divisions is sound, and a big effort is being made at \Yeston-super-:'IIare to prOVIde Brigade Headquarters. In conclusion, I should like to record my thanks to County Officer J . s.

SIR,

I have the honour to present my report for the year ended 1929. I have inspected all the Divisions except one and have found them efficient, smart, and keen on their work. The Swindon Ambulance and ursing Divisions established an Ambulance Tent at the Bath and \Yest of England Show, held at Swindon last year, and members were on duty there night and day during the period the Show was held . Many cases were treated and the thanks of the Organizers were sent to the Divisions concerned.

The Swindon Tursing Division al a underiook duty ai the Victoria Hospital during an epidemic of influenza which attacked the Jurses there, and also acted as reliefs while the Turses were on holiday . The l\Iatron has expressed her sincere thanks for their valuable work and help when she was so short-handed. Arrangements have ~een made w~t~l the Ialmesbury TOW11 ouncil for Brigade ~en to be ~ent out wlth the mUnIcIpal ambulance on all occaSions, a privJ!ege hltherto derued them. . Pr?gress is still disappointing, and there appears little enthusiasm for the work 1ll \'i IltshIre, for although after much negotiatlOn various Towns decide to have a ?ivision of the Brigade, some petty jealousies or the wrong people geHIng identified "\'lth the moven:-ent, have caused the maHer to fall through and ther seems to be a la~k ?f the nght type of I?an to take charge of affairs. l\Tost To\\ns have a flounshmg Great \'iTest~rn R~Jl\\'ay Class,. but these n~en wIll not JOIn the Brigade nor help to start one m theI~ TowI?-' Fmanc<:, too, IS always a stumblIng-block as D?ost of the people are agncultunsts; the lawns too, are \\ Ideh' scattered and so difficult to look after, and there is a lack of duties or work to keep i man interested after he has taken his certificate.

Especially praise\\'orthy are the duties which have been undertaken by the Ambulance and Nursing Divi ions in ITorthampton and Leicester, whose regular attendances at every form of public function, in addition to their usual lirst aid, home nursing, and lIospital duties have been a marked feature of the \\'ork, and favourably commented on by the Press in both Counties .

I beg to submit herewith my report for the year 1929. The work of both sections of the Brigade-Ambulance and ursing- i n this District has been exceptionally good during the year. Attendances at drills, practices, and public duties have been above the average, whilst competition work has been on the up-grad e , both in regard to the numbers taking part amI in the work itself. An additional feature has been the interest evinced by members of the Police Force.

on t\\'o of the arterIal roads ncar Loughborough. Exceptionally good \\ ork IS bell1g performed there, especially during week-ends. There are now thirteen First AId Posts in the District. Cases, T!'cated.-C?ver 1~,500 ~ases have been treated in the District during the year. llus apprOXImate figure IS rather under than overstated, as some Divisions unfortunately for record purpose do not keep a note of very minor cases treated, although, of Cours(! , a note is i{ept of the more serious inj uries. ~rallspol'l.-I am able to again report activity in this department. In addition to lI1.crcased accident transport there is undoubtedly an increased demand by the publIC for the use of the invalid transport service which the Brigade is able to offer 1ll preference to the older method of railway tr:.tvelling. The 17 Ambulances in th.e District have carried 3,73-! persons, the total distance travelled being 19,340 mIles.

Records.-A'!t. records have been inspected during the year. They were well kept and I am able to give a very good report of the work done by th e various secretaries in this department of the Brigade. There are man\, Divisions who still send their Returns in ver\, late and it would be most helpful if ecretaries would see these are sent in at any "rate not later than the end of January. In conclusion, it is a pleasure to r eport that the District is in a thriving conditIon, and I desire to express my thanks to all concerned for their loyal support. I have th e honour to be, ir, Yours faithfully, \V . HAR\,EY REE\'ES, Knight of Grace, Commissioner 1\0. 3 (Eas t e rn ) District.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. 39, FISHERGATE, PRESTON, LANCASHIRE. SIR, As Commissioner of Ko . 4 District, I have much pleasure in submitting my report for the year 1929. General. - Once again I am able to record a considerable increase in the strength of the District, which is indeed very encouraging. All units appear to realize the growing importance of First Aid work and arc co-operating accordingly. Great enthusiasm prevails amongst all ranks, and the ever-increasing duties are cheerfully accepted and efficiently carried out in the interests of the Public . The excellent co-operation between the Police Forces and the various Ambulance Units in the four Counties comprising the District continues, and it is very gratifying to me to note this fact. The Police, in many districts, avail themselves of the tuition provided by members of the Brigade and regularly attend" Refresher" Courses, thus keeping themselves efficient in ambulance work and ready to render First Aid whenever called upon. Police Ambulance Sections are attached to the Ambulance Divisions of Bacup, Brierfield, Colne, and Padiham.

B esides taking their share of camp routine, parades, guards, et.c., the Cadets received daily instruction from two Cadet Officers who accompanied them. I personally inspected the camp and was much impressed with all I saw, and I am certain the St. John boys benefited by the sound discipline prevailing, and the upen-air experience.

This is. an increase of 728 over last year's figures. I consIder these. figures very satis~actory, especially bearing in mind the wave of u~employment III LancashIre dunng the year, and which unfortunatel v still continues. ' J' Returns have been received from every Division in the District wit.h the exception ?f th~ .W .. and R. Jacobs Division, Liverpool Corps, and this 'Division, owing to Ill.actIvlty III Ambulan~e work, has ~uspended operations. Headquarters Division, ~lverpool Corps, was dIsbanded dunng the year, Liverpool Central Division taking ItS place. I.n IJ?-y Dec~~ber Order I issu~d an appea.l to Corps and Divisions to try and form Umts III localIties where the Bngade work IS non-existent, and I gave a list of such places. In consequence ?-ew Divisions have been formed at Orrell and St.andish, and I have r.eason to believe that efforts are being made to establish Divisions of the Bngade III sever.al other Districts. Cadets.--:-I am not satisfied with the state of affairs r egarding Boy Cadet Divisions In many Illstances these I?ivisions carryon for two or three years, and then interest ?eems to wane, and op~ratIons are ~uspended. This is no doubt due to the fact that III some cases, Officers III char~e .f<1:11 to.realize that it is of the utmost importance to keep the members of Cadet DIVISIOns Illterested in the work. These Units are the f~ede.rs of the ~emor Divisions, and every effort should be made to get boys and gIrlS Illterested III the work of the Order of St. John . Mrs. Tweedale, the Lady District Superintendent, has the Cadet movement very much at heart. In conjunction with the Church Lads' Brigade she orgaTlized a • Cadet Camp at Rhyl for the Rochdale Cadets. Thirty-five Cadets attended the

ommlsSJOner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, 39 Fishergatc, Preston. Ambulance Huts have been erected at Blackpool, Kirkham, Barrow-in-Furness, Lytham St . Annes, and Chadderton, and in many instances, where units are unable to afford huts, tents are substituted. All these First Aid Depots are fully equipped, and many serious accidents have been efficiently dealt with in them. Over 200 milcs of roads are patrolled by the Units undertaking this duty. In several instances Units link up one with another, and I look forward to th e time when t.he whole of my District will be connected up in this work. Route lI Iarches.-These are very popular in o. 4 District, and I encou rage them whenever possible. In my opinion they not only give the public some idea of the work of the Brigade, but also increase the good fellowship which is so necessary amongst the members of our Units. Church Parades.-Church Parades were held by the following nits: Foulridge, Haslingden, Whalley, Liverpool Corps, l\Ianchester and Salford Corps and Cheadle Heath . In all cases th e parades were well attended and created an excellent impression on the Public. In several instances n eighbouring Units co-operated. Combined Inspections and Parades.-Fylde Divisions: The Units of the Fylde Area of the County of Lancaster were inspected on the 2nd Jun e by the Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, Col. C. I. Ellis, C.M.G., T.D., l\1 .D. , C.M., 441 of all ranks being on parade. The parade was again under the command of Superintendent Donnelly, of the Blackpool Division, to whom great credit is due for the efficient manner in which the parade, and the arrangements regarding the inspection, were carried out.

At the conclusion of the inspection Col.

Pim, Enight of Grace, and a feature of the parade wa the pre entation and consecration of a magnificent silk flag to the District Assi tant ommissioner Pim being the generous donor. Col. Moore expressed his great satisfaction with all he saw, and a copy of his report was published in my District Order of July, 1929. North-West Lancashire Corps and Divisions: On th e 29th Jun e, at Southport, I inspected the \Nest Lancashire Corps and Divisions, there being a tota l of 6 7 of all ranks on parade . A full r eport of thi s inspection appeared In my July Dlstrict Order, and a special report was duly submitted to you, Sir, by me . The parade was und er the command of s istant Commi ioner SmIth . This was an effort to revive an old combination of Units, and to my mInd the turn-out was smart and soldier-like, reflecting much credit on those associated there\\'ith. Comfort D eptJts.-There are now eighteen omfort Depot in the Dlst.rict, a ll of which are doing excellent work. These depot are, undoubtedly, a splendId means of propaganda for th e Brigade, on account of the faciliti es available for poor people to obtain medical comforts, which, in many cases, they would otherwise have to do without. At nearly every depOt articles can be obtained at any hour of the day or night and those members of th e Brigade responsible for thi s branch of the Brigade's work are to b e congratulated on thei r unselfish devotion to a good cause. R .N.A. S .B.R.-This R eserve is up to strength , and therefore for the present, recruiting is at a standstill. In connection with this R eserve, the Old Comrades Association is very strong in membership. Unfortunately, this year I was not able to attend their gathering, much to my disappointment, as I always look forward to meeting many of my old comrades. M.H.R.-Recruiting for this R ese rve is constantly b ei ng urged and although the quota required has not r each ed its standard, r ecruits are steadily coming forward, and I hope next year to be able to report that my District has fulfill ed its obligation and is up to strength. Conference.-The Conference for 1929 was held at \;Yarrington-by the kind permission of Messrs . Joseph Crosfield & Sons, Ltd . -in the Centenary lIall. Over 1,100 del egates attended from all parts of the District. The Conference was honoured by the presence of Sir John Prescott Hewitt, G.C.S.!., K.B.E., C.I.E., Bailiff of Egle of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, who gave a very interesting address which appealed to all the delegates, the subject being his visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1928 with a delegation of the Order. G. H. K . K. Kingdon, Esq., J.P., Chairman of Messrs . Joseph Crosfield & Sons, Ltd ., took the Chair at the opening of the proceedings, welcomed the Conference, and introduced His Worship the Mayor of 'Warrington, who also addressed the delegates. After the Conference the whole of the del egates were provided with an excellent tea by Messrs. Joseph Crosfield & Sons, Ltd ., to whom I tender my very grateful thanks for their generosity and for the splendid arrangements made by their Staff.

I beg to Sll bmlt a brief report of the activities during the year, and the position at thl!:> date, of • '0. 5 DI trict. The strength 15 11,992 as follows : "taft . 37 Ambulance Divisions 8.631 XurslDg Divisions 2,54-1 Cadets 780 11 ,99~ ThIS lS an increase of 73-t since December of 192 . Public Duty, Road Duty, etc.-On all public occasions there has been an excellent response to the call to duty. Amongst these occasions have been the visits of H .R.H. The Prll~ce of Wales and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, the ),"ottIngham Goose Fair, Municipal FUllctions, and The Royal Agricultural Show at ~Iarrogate. the best traditions of the Brigade being always maintained. Tew duhe~ have b~en n:et and a marked increase in the interest taken by all ranks prevaIls, especla~ly III the matter of Eoad Duty. Road Duty is now popular with Corps and DlvlslOns, and there are a number of additional F.A. posts with road patrols. In thi.s connection I would mention the Baslow Hut, made and erected by the Sheepbnd?,e Coal & Iron Co., Ltd. Thanks are due to that Company and to District Officer J. r. GoodwlD, whose interest and generosity made it possible for the cost of production to be brought to a low figure. The commendation by the Acting Chief Commissioner of three men of the Dronfield Division for conspicuous devotion to duty was highly appreciated. First .Ihd Cases.-In one County some 10,000 cases were treated. A single Division in another County records 2,321 cases. Competition Troplzies.-I have to acknowledge the following gifts during the year:A Silver Cup from Miss Dorothy Elliott, of \Vombwell l\Iain, in memory of her father, the late 1\1r. C. H. Elliott, "'ho for t,,"enty years had interested himself in Our work. Two silver rose bowls from County Surgeon R. H. Read. Competitions.-These have been numerous and of a high order. The Central Division of ottingham represented the District in the Brigade Finals in London. The" Else Efficiency Trophy" goes to the Cheddleton Division in Staffordshire. They lost it in 1928 on decimal points. They are to be congratulated upon their perseverance. IllataI' T1'ansport.-This is on the increase. The removals by one Corps alone numbered 2,823.

CO?lThlISSrONER. \VESTBO URKE A\TEXUE, HULL.

6th rlPyil, 1930 . SIR,

r have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st December, 1929. The strength of the Brigade in the District at the end of the year was as follows : 3,228 Ambulance Divisions. Nursing Divisions 960 4,188 Ambulance Cadet Divisions Nursing Cadet Divisions Grand Total

251 93 4 ,532

THE

Ko. VI.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

This represents a slight diminution in the numerical strength of the senior units, but-as it is due to an empbasis having been laid on the desirability of r emovwg the names of inefficient members-this is not altogether unsatisfactory: the number of new members cnrolled has been above the a\·erage of the past few years. The new Divisions formed during the year were: Rainc's \Yclfarc Di\-ision (in connection with thc Den\-enthaugh \Yorks on the Tync), Shcrburn and District Division-previously a Section of Scarborough Division-and Darllllgton Cadct Tursing Division. Membersbip of the Brigade Reserves was as follows : R. T. A.S .B. R. 1-19 M .H .R. 149 V.A.D. 537 \Yomen: 19 Men (Midcllesbrough). An increasing demand is being made upon the Brigade in this area-which is doubtless common in other Districts-for service at Theatres, Cinemas, Dirt Track Meetings, ~ teeplechases, etc. The outstanding event in the area covered by ~ TO. VI District during the pa t year was the 1\orth-East Coast Exhibition at ~ewcastl e. The rcsponse to the call for volunteers for First Aid duty was exceedingly gratifying, enabling thc I3rigade to maintain a fully-staffcd First Aid and nursing service throughout thc whole of the term, i.e. 14th May to 26th October. A total of 4,529 cases \\as recorded iO the Occurrence Books, the varying nature of \\ hich affordcd very excellcnt experIence for the Officers and members carrying out the duties. The dutics were unde r the supervision of the Public Duty Officer for Newcastle, District Oflicer G. R. Curry, and the whole service gave entire satisfaction to the Exhibition Authorities. In Hull, the Corps has had an activc year. In addition to the usual public duties -Fair \Veek, etc.-in l\Iay a " Rotary Club \'i'eek" on behalf of thc Hull Royal Infirmary, was held, and included daily" Rags" , Firework Displays, \Yater Pageant, etc., all of which wcre efficiently provided for. In October a iVIC \\'eck was celebrated, when again various Demonstrations, Historic Processions, e tc ., made a large demand. Also the Municipal Aerodrome was opened by II.R II. PrIncc George and a display by the R.A .F . given, causing large crowds. FIrst AId sen'lce was adequately provided both en route and at the Aerodrome. Thc Corps was lllspected by the Acting Chief Commissioner in June. Road Service has been increased and efficiently carried out, chiefly in the Korth and East Ridings. Several new road Huts have been opened. Colours, the joint gift of the Acting Commissioner and DistrIct ecrctary, \\' re dedicated and presented to the District at a Drumhead Service held on thc l'cwcastle Town Moor on 30th June. A vast concourse of people joined in thc SerVice, the singing being led by the famous ew Zealand carillon of bclls, which were then on loan to the orth-East Coast Exhibition. The District Competitions resulted as follo\-',:s : AMBULANCE.

The trophy was won by the Horde n Colliery Team, whilst Murton Colliery-as the runners-up-hold the Korth l\Iail Shield. I wish to record my thanks to all members of my District Staff for the able assistance they have given me; to Mcdical Officers of all ranks for their sel£sacrificing work in judging and instruction, and to Corps, Divisional, and all other Office rs and members of the Brigade for their services.

County Officer REPORT OF THE

129

DISTRICT.

CO~nlISSIO. TEn..

)IARKET DRA YTO.·. 1st .11 mil, 1930. IR, I have the honour to forward my report for 1929. The year has been ont.! of continued acti\'ity In Ko. YII Dlstnct. There are few opportunities of appeannO" at Public Functions, but all chance are eagerly selzld. As usual, the chief events of the year were the 'hrl'\I'shury llorilculturul ~lIo\\' and the \Vest l\Iidland how, and the \\ork on each occasion" as carried out. \\ Ilb keenness and efficiency. I regret there are not more of the5' Functions, at which the services of the Brigade can he utilized. . . Arnong the Ambulance Divisions, hre\\sbury RaIl\\'ay D1\lslon conti nUL It· excellent \\'ork and achieved the distJl1c.tlOn of \\ InnIng the Connty up agilln OS\\'estry Division, too, is carrying on satIsfactorily, and Oakengatc:-> and Ilnllwood do good' work. \\'e "'e!come the revival of the ~larke~ l:a y ton l)j\' i~ion with .a membership of over 20 men, and Hereford H.all\\'ay D1\'ISlO11 was reglsten.:d tlll'} year but it has not been able to do much as ) ct . For the Xursing Divi ions, the great event of the year was the 1nspe ·tlOn by tile Ladv Superintendent-in-Chief at ::'hre\\. bury Castle, of all the j)j\,jSiOllS of tIw district, Hereford being the only Di\'i. ion that was unable to be present. '1 he thr 'L' Cadet Divisions also attended, and the Dlst.rict gained a favourable report from the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief. Shre\\'sbury (I) took a rrreat part at the hre\\'sbury Horticultural, how and t.he \ Yest ~Iidland Sho\\"o The other Xursing D)\·lsion::. han: blen on duty at local fetes and Sports :\Ieetings. Manele)" Church t.retto11, and \Yorfidd ha\'l! s:'nt members to Hospitals, and 1ronbndge, ).IadeIey, and Shrewshury (11) han. ~lt:dlcal Comforts' Cupboards, while most Divisions report a good number of case, treated . Shrewsbury (II) is a new DiviSIOn registered this year. I have to record wit.h great pleasure the presentation of two new hallenge up:>: (1) The Cureton Cup, for Ambu lance Divisions, givC'n by. our old friend Colond Cureton, Knight of Grace of the Order, and won for the first year by Os\\'Cstry ; (2) The Perks Cup, fo; the ~ursing Divisions, given by ?lIr. l~erks, :\Iay.or .of Shrewsbury for the year. Ilis interest was aroused by attendlllg the Dlslnci Shield Competition, and being told by our Lady District Officer that \ye were desirous of having another trophy he kind ly offered to present us with one . TIllS Cup is only to be competed for by Junior Teams \\ho are 110t sufficiently ad\'ancecl for the District Shield. The value of a trophy of this kInd was first suggested by our hard-\\'orking Lady District Officer, :\Iiss C. E. Hughes, t.o \\hom I would tender my most grateful thanks for the time and strength he has given in t.he "ernce of th'e District and this in spite of much ill-health. \ \'ithout her loyal asslstance I ,,'ould find it difficult to carryon. I would a lso like t o thank the Divi~iona l Surgeons of the District for the help they have given me in t aking r e-examinations and acting as judges in the Competitions for t he various troph ies; especially Dr. R. L. S . Downer, Superintendent and Surgeon for the Shrewsbury Corps. I n a country District like ours this often entails absence from home and \\'ork for a great part of the day and a motor ru n of many miles. Yours faithfu lly, ARTHUR R. F. EXHAM, M.D., llIajor, Commission er Ko. 7 District, St . J ohn Ambu la n ce Brigade.

This result has been accompltshe.cl ~n the .m'7 w by the loyal support and assistance given to me .by. all ranks, and .It 1.S g~a1.lfyJng 1.0 me to be able to say, without fear of contradlctlon, that my Dlstnct IS one la rge "Happy Family", all working together in the building up of the maglllficent edifice to " First Aid to the Injured" referred to in the last r eport of Dr. Vernon Davies. I feel sure the knowledge that his self-sacrifice in the interests of the Brigade was not in vain, will afford him considerable satisfaction. The year has, I am pleased to report, been one of continual prog:re.s~. Five Ambulance, two Nursing, and one Cadet Ambulance DIVIsIOns have been registered. . The gross increase in the personnel is 902 me?, 27 'women, 101 boys, and 6 .g lrlS, but for the purpose of comparison I am deductIng the personnel of 1.l:e la1.e:0:o II District on transfer to the District on 1st] anuary, and therefore my nctlUc rcase IS : Jen . \Vomen.

SYNOPSIS OF 'NaRK DONE. Public Duty.-During the year 13,745 reported cases have r ecei ved attention, an increase of 3,586 cases over last year's figures. It is most gratifying to be able to report that the Police and other municipal authorities have given evidence that they consider our organization is essential to the success of their arrangements on occasions when special events which arc likely to draw large crowds on to the highways or public places have to be catered for, and it has been our privilege to carry out public duty on a large scale on th e following occasions : Visit of T.R.H. The Duke and Duchess of York to Maidstonc: Three and a half miles of route with 150 men and women drawn from various parts of the District . In connection with this duty it is pleasing to record that the Maidstone Girl Cadets formed a Guard of Honour and were inspected by Il.R.Il. The Duchess of York. The Schneider Trophy Contest at Portsmouth: As previously reported 1.0 you, on this occasion five Brigade Surgeons, 220 Officers and Men, 55 Orficers and Ambulance Sisters, together with eight motor ambulances, staffed ambulance

stations from lhe Point 1.0 Clarence Pier at Portsmouth, and from South Parade Picr to Eastney Barracks; in addition, First Aid posts were manned from Esher to Portsmouth. VISIt of T.R.II. The Duke and Duchess of York to Eastbourne: This duty commenced at 10 .30 a.m. and finished at 4 .30 p.m. Seven and a half miles of route were covered by 80 men and women drawn from various parts of the County of 'u<;se~(. Owing to their Royal IIighnesses not traversing the same route, with only two exceplions, the number of personnel on duty was, notwithstanding the lengt h of th e route, adequate to meet all demands. NurslIlg TVOIll.--The keenness of the Officers and Members of the Nursing Divisions IS evident from th e amount of work they undertake, and it gives me much plLasllre to record that during the year they attended to 2,767 cases requiring First Aiel treatment, assist ed onr ambulances with the removal of 508 patients, and trealetl 5) road accJ(Jents from First Aid posts. In add itIOn, the ·ursing personnel have taken duty at Summer Camps, and made many attendances at Cinillospitais and \Velfare Clinics. The Lady O/ltcers and Ambulance Sisters are an invaluable asset to the Brigade in my District, and it is a matter of gratification to me to know that they are working in complete harmony with the Ambulance Divisions. Tr(lIIsjJolt lJ'orll. Forty-one ambulances arc at present operated by units in the District, and 1.11(')" are carrying out some really splendid work . An analysis of th e rdurns shows tbat 15,516 patients ' .... ere carried, and 179,840 miles travelled dunng 1 9~9, an Increase of 4,9 '9 patients and 47,139 miles respectively as compared \\ Ith 1929. " 'hen one remembers the responsibility and hard work attached to the operation of an ambulance service, the excellent record aforementioned reflects the utmost cn:dlt on all the Olhcers, men, and women concerned, and they are worthy of all possible praise and deserving of our best thanks. Road LI L ICt clnlJle . -1 am pleased to be able to testify to the keen activity displayed by my 1I111ts for this sen·ice. During the summer months of 1929 there were in existence on the highways 111 th e three ounties under review three permanent and thirty-one mobile First Aid posts, and forty Hoad ide Boxes. The aCCIdents treated by our First id posts numbered 2,576, and our ambulances trayelled 15,:H 2 miles, COnyeYlDg the unfortunate victims to the nearest hospital. These figures sho'" an increase of 644 accidents, and 3,598 miles over those returned 111 1928 . :'Icmbers of my staff have joined in the spirit of the service, and made periodical VISits of In pectIOn on week-days and Sundays. It was considered an honour that my District should have been selected by you to demonstrate 1.0 the H.epresentative of the International Red Cross League the working of the Hoad e rvicc Scheme in this Country.

1\ly thanks are due to the District Surgeon, County Surgeons, and other Surgeons of the District for the preparation of the test, and judging in the COffipetitions, together with all the lay officers and members of the District \\'ho contributed towards the success of the contests. It was gratifying to the District tllat thE' Guildford Nursing Di ision gained the " Lady :'IIountgarret " Cup for bed-making. Inspectiolls.- All my Divisions were individually inspected. during the year by one of my District taff or by mysel£. From reports received I can assure you that the efficiency of the District is up to standard and that the members arc ready for any service they may be calInl upon to perform, either locally or othen\'ise. Mass Inspections of units in the Counties of Kcnt, . urrey, and Sus ex were held at Ashford, Guildforrl, and Brighton respectively. In cOllnection with the Ashforri Review, I need only say now that the \\ondcrful re ception given to the I\entisft Units by the A hford rban District CouncIl and the people of Ashford will remain, with the Herne Bay H.e"i ", a lastIng memory t o encourage our personnel in their work. The County will ever remain grateful to you, Sir, for the inspiration you gave them by taking the Inspection yourself, and it. is the SlDcere hope that, despIte all your many engagements, YOll will be able to take a l\Iass InspectIOn In the District again next year. Fi17ance.-I am pleased to be able to report that it \\'as found possible to pass on to units, not only the remission of the 10 per cent due from Flag Day to the Order, but also the 15 per cent due to District. That this action was fully apprecIated is evident from the unanimous resolution passed by a meetmg of my Officers that in future each Ambulance Division and Nur. ing Division shall pay to Dlr.;trict Fund an annual subscription of £5 5s. and [4 4s. respectively. The finances of the individual units are quite healthy, and may have substantial balances in hand. ,\Yith the exception of three or four instances, all DiviSIOns In my District have insured their members under the scheme which you promulgat d III the early part of 1929 . I would be lacking in my duty if I failed to record my most. grateful thanks to the Municipal Authorities, to Police, and other practical friends of my vanous units for the help they have given to us during the past year. I will make bold to say that without such assistance it would be almost impos ible for the Di\'isions to carryon their work. Conclusion. - In February of this year the District started a monthly Ga:cltc and to know that this Ga;:etlc is meeting a long-felt want, and that the 'DI\'ision~ are loud in their praise of its construction and the information it contains, is to me a very r eal pleasure. In conclusion, I ?esi.re to pay a generous tribute to the support given to me by members of my Dlstnct staff, WIthout whose splendid help it would ha\'e been impossible to carryon the administration of the District. They have all "orkcd not only in a most efficient r:nanner, but with the utmost sympathy, realizing, as they have don~, the task set III the reorganization of the Di strict, consequent. upon the .am'~lga~at~on and transfer of Ko. 11 District units. This help \\ill b an everlastIng lllspuabon to me to urge forward the work of the Brigade, and the \\ eHare of the units under my command. Officers and all oth.er ranks have been equally helpful and sympathetic, and I t ende r to them my SIncere thanks. I am, indeed, proud to be in command of such an efficient and live district whose members individually and collectively, have proved a loyalty for which 'I shall ever be grateful. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. RICHARDS, Commissioner No.8 District .

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1929 . My Officers and I visited every Division in Cornwall during the year, and, with two except.ions, we found every Division in a high state of efficiency. The buildings of the Divisional Headquarters were clean and well kept; the books and records were generally in excellent condition; the motor ambulances were in good running order and properly equipped; the stores were adequate and carefully chosen to meet the needs of the variolls localities . Uniforms were in good order. Every Divi ion was solvent. A spirit of loyalty and good di cipline was manifest in all members. The two unsatisfactory Divisions are in process of reorganization. It is pleasing to report that the Truro Division, for some years practically extinct, was reorganized, and it is now a large and keen Division with excellent public support. Our thanks are due to the British Red Cross Society for the assistance given in the reorganization. Calls on the Services of our members still further increased, and constituted a record in First Aid, ursing, and iotor Ambulance Service. First Aid Posts were still further increased in number, as they provide the best solution of the problem of dealing with road accidents. Every Officer in Charge having a telephone installed makes contact easy; furthermore, call bells operating from the houses where the telephones are fixed to the homes of selected members enable teams to be called rapidly, especially at night.

Every assistance was given by the Police, A.A. and R.A.C. Scouts in dealing with the large numbers of ro~d acciden.ts .. Our special thanks are due to the telephone operators, all of whom dId everythlOg lO their power to a sisto '¥.e were hono~r~d with a visit in December from Dr. Fisher, head of the l\Iedical SectIon of the l\IIOlStry .of Mines, to a conference with the Honorary Surgeons, and other Officers of the Bngade to study rescue and ambulance work at the tin mines and stone quarries. Classes. for instruction in First Aid and Home ursing were held in considerable numbe~s . l~ par~ of the county not yet having any organization, and it is believed tha~ DIVlSlO~S WIll be formed in some, at least, of these areas. ~ 0:u grac~ously agreed. to a re~r~<l:niz ation and. addition to the County Staff. ThIs IS makll1g contact ':'lth the DlvlslOns much eaSlCr, a nd propaganda in outlying parts of the county possIble.

Soon every Division will have a adet Detachment. b T~e I. ursing Divisions did excellen~ work, e pecially in the vilhges; the doctors making lO.creased us e of the members In the home of the ick, poor, and old.

The Annual County Church Parade was held at Liskeard in June .

35-6 JorrE STREET, PLY1I10UTH . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit a report on the work of the Brigade in Devon and on the Eastern Border of Cornwall during the year 1929. Pe~sonnel.-Despite a d~astic rev~sio n of figures I have pleasure in reporting a nett lOcrease of membership of 64 SlOce last year. The Brigade is now about 100 per cent stronger than lO 1924, and far better equipped. On 31st December 1929 the figures were as follow : ' , Corps. Ambulance Divisions ursing Divisions. Ambulance Cadet Divisions ursing Cadet Divisions Personnel comprised : County Staff (including 1 lent to Headquarters) Corps Staffs . . . . . .

A mbttlance Transport.-Devon is second on the list of the Home Ambulance Service of the Joint Council for the number of cases transported by motor ambulances. Last year, including hospital out-patient and crippled children passengers, the cases taken 10 ambulances reached the startling total of 30,898, the mileage being 82,472. Brigade members staff 20 motor ambulances under the Order's control, one under a local H.S.A .C. Committee, and four which are maintained by local authorities. The cibes of Exeter and Plymouth entrust all their general ambulance service to the Order, at the latter a flee t of eight vehicles being required to cope with the heavy demands for transport . Fire .1 mbll/ance Dltty.-There continues to be a close co-operation between the Fire Brigades and local Ambulance Divisions, and it is increasingiy r ealized that the call for ftremen should include a summons for auxiliary First Aid service. Ambulance men have proved their usefulness eve n at a hay-stack fire, where the uninitiated would ImagiJ.1e the possibility of casualties was r emote. Special prai e IS due to Barnstaple Division for their strenuous work during the great tire lQ the Borough. Unfortunately, one of the buildings destroyed was the headquarters of their own Cadet Division. At Plymouth ambulance men were pre ent at nearly 100 fires last year. There, self-contained breathing apparatus and an oxygen re,"ivingset are taken as well as the ordinary First Aid appliances. Llft;;boat Servicc .-Effective arrangements now exist for our personnel to turn out whenever the lifeboats go on their errands of mercy from most of the Devon Stations, out, unfortunately, Brixham is still 'w ithout an ambulance unit, so has to be co, ered by Paignton. Yet further efforts are going to be made to arouse Interest at Bnxham. fhe mo. t noteworthy assistance to the l ifeboat service during the year was during the early hours of a February morning whilst a snowstorm was raging and a vessel went ashore on Bolt Tai l. At 3.15 a.m. one set of ambulance men were dealing with the second CoxswaJO , who fractured his leg r esponding to the call, and another party \Va-standing by for the lifeboat. Xine su rvivors were removed by motor ambulance from the p lace of landing. Thus, Devon, the county of origin of the natlOnallifeboat First Aid organization, cares for the casualties around its dangerous coasts. Road Casllallies.-As far back as 1912 ambulance men were r egu larly sent out on roael patrol work, so It is no wonder that several units entered into the national Eoad 'cheme with enthusiasm. Some public-spirited people have granted the use of bllllchngs for aid posts and others have permitted the erection of tents on thei r land. SeaSIde hut and tent duty has al a been most successful. At one post no fewer than 3-! cases received attention: these were all dealt with by members of Nur:;ing Divisions. The mauguratioll of motor ambulance services by the St. John Ambulance Association and staffed by the Brigade at Barnstaple and Sid mouth has reduced the waIting tIme after serious road smashes. There are, however, still extensive tracts of countryside and moorland causing me anxiety, for the summer traffic; tremendolIs. COIl/Petitions.-The District Competition Shields for Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset, were gained by teams from this ounty (Newton Abbot Ambulance and Plymouth Co-operati ve Nursing Di vi ions). Many local competitions were h eld amongst which the new one for North Devon and 'Vest Somerset has been particularly well supported. The trophy is the gift of l\Iiss Perrott, the daughter of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief. Their deep personal interest in this contest is greatly appreciated. Public Duties.-The manner in which the newly formed Division at South Molton staffed the large Devon County Show, and the splendid spirit of co-operation of the older North Devon units were most praiseworthy. The demands on St. John personnel for the Speedway at Exeter, the two \Vest Country professional football clubs, and the " Tavy Week " at Devonport were indeed heavy but fully coped with. Nursing Diuisions.-Under the capable leadership of Lady County Officer Mrs. Balsdon, the Ambulance Sisters have not only played their part in the foregoing duties; cared for Girl Guides in camp; staffed an aid post for fishermen

during the 'West Country herring fishery season; accompanied crjpple children to and from open -air schools; on several occasions, gone long railway journeys nursing serious cases en route; been out to steamers to bring female patients ashore; but also have given a great deal of help to hospitals. l\Ioreover, I shall never forget their valuable work after the appalling l\Iannameaci "W all DIsaster.

Hospital Duty.--_ Sister gave two months' voluntary service at the London Temperance Hospital, and members undertake duty at the following- institutions: South Devon and East Cornwall, Torbay, Royal Albert (Devonport), Faignton, and Dartmouth Hospitals. Ambulan('e Sisters are on duty at the l\[ini<;try of Health Sessions held at ewton Abbot . The total number of hospital attendances reported hr last year 'vas 542. Voluntary Aid D etachm:mts_-Althollgh I cannot report any recruiting headway amongst Ambulance Di visjons the report on the nursing units is highly satisfactory. New entrants cluring the year number 47, awl a strong V.A.D. has been registered for Exeter. In addition to ordinary detachment training memhers ha\'e attenderJ three special lecture<; 011 the Thomas Splint, ::-'Ieclical Oqani7.ation of IL\1. Forces, and Chemical "Warfare. The latter, by coudesy of the ~ aval nthoritie, wa~ delivered at the R.N. Gas School, Devonport. At the close several V. .D.s donned gasmasks and underwent a test in a gas filled chnrnber. Cadets.-The issue of the JU1I!mile 1Iiailual has opened up possibilities of fresh interest for cadets, and there have been many requests for the book. It is particularly gratifying to see the adult units, and even their competition teams, enrolling ex-cadets. Very strong counter-attracLions have made boys' work difficult in one area, but elsewhere there has been marked progress. A camp at Dawlish \Varren was well organized and much enjoyed. St. John Ambulance Association.-Gratitude is expressed for all that the officers and committees of the various local section committees of the Association have done for their attached Divisions. The manner in which several have taken the educational and financial burdens and given of their time and influence has been an inestimable encouragement. The officers and members of the County and the two City Constabularies have also done their utmost to foster the work of the Order; in fact many of them are enrolled in the Brigade. Order Promotion and Admissions.-During the year the Lady Mildmay of Flete (County President of ursing Divisions and V.A.D.s) and Lieut.-Colonel H. Spackman, who has done years of administrative work for the Brigade at Home and Overseas have been appointed Officers of the Order. \Vell deserved recognition by admission to the Order as Serving Brothers has been accorded to Corps Officer Major E. Greenslade, of Ne"wton Abbot, and Divisional Superintendent C. E. J. Marsh, of Dartmouth. P. Sergeant J. 1arshall (Ambulance Officer, Totnes Division) gained the Meritorious First Aid Certificate for his fortitude and ability at a terrible tragedy to which he was summoned. Corps Supt. A. Wheatley received special mention on his work on the same occasion. Appreciation.-I feel inadequate to express the appreciation due to the Officers and members of the Brigade, whom I am privileged to command for all their devoted service. A goodly percentage have voluntarily undertaken over 100 public or station duties in twelve months, some attendances being of over fourteen hours' duration weeldy. It is these men and women, unknown by name not only to you but frequently even to the communities they so faithfully serve, who are making the Brigade such a power for good throughout this 6,000 square miles of difficult " ambulance terri tory".

SIR,

I have the honour to submit mv report for the year ending 31st December, 1929. It IS gratifying to know that during the last ele.ven years n~t a Divis.ion in this County has failed 1..0 be annually inspected. The Ulllts graduall y Increase? In number, adde(l 1..0 their strength and efficiency, anel are more and more apprecIated by the public and loca l authorities. One .. Tursing Division at Shaftesbury is in course of formation, also another at Portland. Thc :andbank's Pavilion and the Ensbury Park Racecourse, with its various acti'·It.lcs, have made considerable work for the Divisions of Poole Corps. Poole Corps and \\'eymouth J)1\-lsions have well-equipped Huts on the sands, needIng daily attendance during the summer months, and are a great boon to the l,'lsiLors, as sho\\n by the varid), and number of cases treated. The "\J otor .\mbulances in the County attached to the Divisions dealt with 485 calls. ;lhe roael accidents numbered 286. The total mileage covered on duty with foregoing exceeded 2,11:3 miles There \\ ere 2,215 cases recorded as receiving First Aid during the period under reVle\\ . T'"l.D. - The nnual Inspection Heports of the bYo S J.Y.A.D. were satisfactory.

COMMISSIO ER. 49, BER ERS STREET, IpSWICH. 31st January, 1930 .

THE ACTING CHIEF COMMISSIONER. SIR,

I have the honour to submit herewith my report on No. 10 District of t.he Brigade, 10r the year 1929 . I personally inspected all Divisions in Torfolk, and 1 have no hesitat.ion in stating that without exception all Divisions in that County are efIicient, properly uniformed, and equipped. The men are keen, the officers know their work, and have the discipline ofthe men in good control. The Motor Ambulances, either the property of the Divisions themselves, or on Joan from the Joint Committee, are of enormous use, and the services prompt and effective. Repeatedly there are paper comments on their activities, and \\ ithout exception these comments reflect the greatest credit as being earned by the personnel. From my personal knowledge of the various Divisions I can with confidence endorse this, and I am delighted to inform you of their services. As for Suffolk, this has been rather a red-letter year in the County. The Divisions both men and women, r eceived an invitation from Ilis Worship the Mayor of Beccles. As a r esu lt, a most successful parade was held where between 300 and 400 of all ranks paraded before the Mayors of Ipswich. Southwold, Beccles, Yarmouth, and Aldeborough, all in official robes and attended by their Town Sergeants. The parade was a great success and impressed these various authorities both as to the efficiency and the personnel of the various units taking part. Ipswich, too, was honoured on two occasions: firstly, by the visit of Col. Perowne to open a New Medical Comforts' DepOt, the gift of the local Co-operative Society, to be used in perpetuity for the benefit of the poor of Ipswich and District in supplying them with invalid r equisites.

153

It is being run by members of the Brigade unde r the supervision of ~y l~te Assistant Commissioner for the County, whose loss we deplore, but whose resIgnatron w e a llllnd erstand the r easons for. \Ve a ll wish him many years yet of active interest in the DepOt, where his advice ancl services are of infinite value. All Divi<;ions were inspected by Col. Ellis, Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, who we were part.icularly glad to have \\ ith us . 11(' hac! an olEcial reception by the :'Itayor of Ips"'\'ich, and took the salute of between four and five hundrecl men, women, and cadets from the Counties of Suffolk, Essex, and S0111e from :\orfolk . lIe g<1ve us a very good and helpful criticism, which will next year be r eme:nbered anel which \\111, I hope, make t.he Divisions keener in being nearer to perfectlOn. At this paradL' we had as an interested and welcome visitor the Assistant CommisslOnlr from Fssex . The :'Ilot.or Ambulance,> in the County arc all in hard work covering an enormous mil eage, and agaIn mec!. \llt.h nothing' but the greatest praise from patients they carry and from the Pre 'S, \I ho never fail to speak kindly of us and our work. I 'have by me the reports of the ommissioners of Essex and Hertford. They havc nothing but good to say of theIr Counties. I, OWll1g to press of other work, was not a bIe to personally Inspect them, but the remarks made by the Commissioners all bear out t.he fact t.hat all DIVIsions are in goocl condition properly equipped and efflLlcnt.ly run. The DIstric t has added several n w Divisions, all of whom have taken up the work" it.h k L'e llness and "ho, I bop , will give a good account of themselves as tim' goes b\'. In t.hese hard t.imes money IS our difficulty, but we manage to keep going with ollr head a hon! water. The lack of adequate lunds, 110\\'e ,"cr, handicaps us in our work. I see many openings t.hat. are barred to us for t.his reason, but as far as the District is concerned to d,l\', 1 consldcr it an honour to be It.S Commissioner. I d~sIr\: hLrc t.o place on record my most grateful thanks to my Assistant Commissioncr,> <lI1d Lady District Superintendent and her Officers, and to all Corps and Din 'w nal OJtllers for then loyal help and co-operation. To the non-commissioned antlerS, men, and \\'omen, of all Divisions, too, my thanks are clue for their help and loyalty during a year when other duties made it lmpossible for me to glve them that help and advice that I \\'ould have liked to do. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JAMES HOSSACK, Knight of Grace .

DUBLIN. 31st iI-larch, 1930.

I ERRIO)l" SQUARE,

SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1929. This year brought what I think we may rcgard as our two most important undertaklllgs 10 thc field of Public Duty in this District, namely, the Catholic Emancipation Ccntcnary elcbrations on 23rd June and the Grand Prix Motor Races on 12th and 13th July. Thc Brigadc was responsible for the entire Ambulance arrangements for both these events, and I am happy to be able to repo rt that all \\'e nt through without a hltch and tributes of the highest appreciation were received from the Organizers of both cvents. Some of thcse expressions of opinion in connection with the entenar), elebrations I had the honour to submit to you at the time. For the 23rd June preparations \\'cre made for -!OO,OOO people to attend High :\lass 1 n the Fl fteen Acres, Ph<.enix Parle This Congregation was composed of people of all acres from all parts of Ireland , many of whom were quite physically unhl for the long strain of standing for hours in a densely packed crowd under a hot sun. Fortunately, It \\ as a gloriously fine day. A numb I' of I' lrst .\id Stations \\-cre sct up at suitable points in the Park, some In Cnckct Pavtiions (lent for the occasion) and some in tents specially erected staned by the Xursing Di\'ision"i with a quota from the Ambulance Divisions attached to cach Station. A largc number of cascs was dealt ,\ith at these Stations. A persollnel of 100 Ambulan cc ;\len and Sisters wcrc stationed in the" organized Boely " or mall1 'ongregation massed around the Altar. This group bore the br unt of thc clay, as the numbc r of cascs of fainting (alone) was naturally \'ery high. All a\'ailablc .\mbulances and a number of private motor cars were mobilized for the ocea ion. In adcJition, \\'c undertook the organization of the watcr supply-no small task . 1 }lIS had t.o bc distributed by mcans of Corporation \\-ater-carts, and the Brigade Officcrs In charge \\'cre assistcd by the Anny, Boy Scouts, past Members of the Brigade, anel other non-uniformed volunteers. Therc \\ cre also scvcn First AIel Stations staffcd and quipped in the vicinity of the Qua \"i, along \\ hich thc Procession had to pass on its way back to the Altar \\ hcrc Be nediction was givcn, and where it was known that the cro\\'d would be dense. Tbe OffLccrs chiefly responsiblc for thc organization of the duty, which took \\-ceks of anxiolls thought and planmng and numerous conferences with the Centenary utitonties , were A sistant Commissioner A. J. Connor, Di trict Officer J. P. ~rac l 'amara, and Acting Lady District Superintendent :\Iiss E. F. Blandford, bu t all worked magmficently. Evcry member of the Brigade in Dublin who could possibly undertakc these arduous duties was mobilized, and a few members also came from thc mall Nur ing Divisions in T aas, Borrisokane, and Sligo. A large number of medical men gave their scrvices, a doctor being in charge at each Staiion. For thc l\lotor Races the ambulance arrangements were chicfly in the hands of District Surgeon eton Pringlc, District Officer A. J . Mac\\,illiam, and Acting Lady District Superintendent ;\liss E. F. Blandford. Eight First Aid tations were erected in thc Phrenix Pad\:. Ambulances werc stationed at various points, and Ambulance men were distributed along the Course. Again, many members of the medical profession voluntcered thcir services, both for the actual Race Days and the previous morning practices, which also found our men on duty at an early hour. \ \'hat \\c usually regard as our" big" cvents-wbich though eclipsed were not overlooked-came round in their appointed order, viz.: The Royal Dublin Society's Shows; the Dublin and District Iotor Cycle Club's Races; the Athy 75 miles' Race; the" Lcinstcr 100"; The Ozanam Pilgrimage to Lourdes in September (wben two Ambu lance men and four members of ursing Units travelled with the invalids) ; Armistice Day, and the other lesser routine duties . Fivst Aid Hltts.- 1, 090 cases were treated at the City Hut in Upper O'Connell Street during the year, viz. 797 by the day Orderly and 293 by the night Staffs, supplied by cach Ambulance Divi ion in turn. A large amount of work was done at the Footballcrs' Hut in the Phcenix Park by t he Ambu lance D i visions, and at the l\Ierrion Strand Hut by t he Tursing Units .

AMB ULA CE BRIGADE.

The Annual Appeal for funds was again organized by District Officer J. P. MacNamara and Corps Officer Reginald II. Keatinge, O.B.E ., with the following gratifying results ; Total amount collected £ 1,090 9s. 9d., being ubscriptions, £ 180 12s . 6d.; Divi ional Subscriptions, £-!6; Box Collection, £476 14s. d.; Cards, £ 163 7s . 6d.; Envelopes, £ 183 lOs. 5d.; Wallets, £40 4s. Sd. Further sums amounting to £4 12s . 3d. were received after the official closing of the Collection. I would like to draw attention to the fact that this year (as last) this considerable sum was entirely subscyibed. None of it was raised by entertmnments or such-11ke. Tyansport DepaYlment.-Exactly 100 more patients were carned in our l\Iotor Ambulance than 1ll 1928, viz. 453, the \"ehicle being in constant demand. In addition to daily cases it attended each meeting at Baldoyle and Leopardstown Race courses, Punchestown, Fairyhouse, and several Point-to-Point llunt :\Ieetings, the Royal Dublin Society's Shows and International Rugby matches. Invalid Requisites and toyes.-The e Departments continue to Roun . h. The number of articles requisitioned from Invahd Hcquisites' sectIOn m the year 1929 was 298, the largest item being Air Cu hions 12-!. A few donations both of money and requiSItes \\ere most gratefully rccei\·ed. A good deal of dilficulty was expenenced in getting back articles after usc The work of Lady Sup erintendent ::\lrs. Evelyn :'IcGee III these departments is beyond all praise. Welfare DepaYimel1l.-The 'Yelfare Department continues to a '5lst some of the very poor mothers in Dublin through their confinements, by gJ\ Ing them dally dinners for two months before their confinement anel for l.IlrL' C months aftl'f\\ards. Last year 19, 139 Dinners were sen'ed to 287 women, and all of them rcccI\'ed baby clothes and two week' nourishment Grant at the tll11e of their conJinemcnt.. At Christmas 123 bags of coal were distributed amongst those on the books in December. Over 400 garments of various kind were gl\'en to the women, these clothes being sent to the Department in answer to" appeals" through the columns of the l'n:5s, dc. The Balance Sheet for the year sho\\"ed an expenditure of J R9-! 125 . lOcI. The \Velfare Executive Committee meets \\ eckly and Lach case 1'-; carefully imrestigated and applicant's home visited before she IS accepted for hdp. Miss G. :r.r. Barrington, ecretary, and her Stall, do excellent \\"ork in thiS connection. Competitions.-The District Competitions \\ere held during the spring with the following results ; Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup; ,,'mncrs, ~Iessrs. 'Y. {' R Jacob's Ambulance Division (Ko. 1 Team). Dublin Building Trades Corps' Cup (for 1\ovice Teams); \Yll1ners, Browne and Nolan's Ambulance Division; Runners-up, \Y, & R. jacob c'r Co., Ambulance Division.

Some of our Ambulance Divisions also sent Teams to Belfast in June, when Jacob's team brought back the Ulster Red Cross Cup and the Belfast Challenge Cup, and the Broadstone Team won the Lord Mayor's Cup. I took the Annual Inspection on 8th June, when IIis Excellency the GovernorGeneral was our guest and presented the cups and prizes. I had the privilege, on behalf of the Grand Prior, to present Long Service Medals to Assistant Commissioner A. J. Connor, District Officer A. J. MacWilliam, Superintendent G. Belton, and Ambulance Officer J . Kelly.

The venue was again (after a lapse of some years) Lord I veagh's Gardens, Unfortunately, owing to bad weather conditions, the final of the Dublin Ambulance Challenge Cup was carried through under difficulties, and the Middleton Curtis Drill Competition for women had to be postponed to a later date at the Brigade Hall. The numbers on parade were; 12 District and Corps Officers (men and women) ; 21 Officers and 303 T.C.O.S and men, Ambulance Divisions; 21 Officers and 213 Ambulance Sisters, Nursing Divisions. Total, 570. Through our First Aid and Home Kursing Classes 166 men and 150 women obtained Fw;t Aid certificates, and 94 women obtained Home Tursing certificates, 2-! boys passed for the Junior First Aid certificate and 8 girls obtained the Junior Flrst Aid and Home Xursing certificates . The [lfth session of the School of Instruction for men was held under the guidance of District Officer A. ]. ~IacWilliam. 40 candidates passed the examination, the ommisslOner's Gold :'.ledal being won by Private James Lynch, City of Dublin Ambulance DivislOn. In February we had the pleasure of having the second edition of the Brigade Film sho\\ n at the "onnthian PIcture House for a week. In the autumn a special course of Lectures on " First Aid in ::\Iidwifery " was held for OJhcers and senior members of Xursing Divisions. The lectures by Dr. Margaret ::\Iernck \\'ere very well attended, and much appreciated, and 45 candidates sat for the examinatlOn, conducted by Dr. Hope Trant. Several combincd Practices, arranged on competition lines, for all the Kursing DiVIsions were held dunng the year at the Brigade Hall, and it is believed proved beneficial. On one of these mghts a competition was held for a perpetual Challenge Cup, presented by Lady District Officer Miss Overend, for a " Team" chosen at random by the judge from ea.ch Division, which dealt \\'1th their case most promptly and efticienth' .

ABRIDGED REPORT. The strength of the Brigade in vYales has undergone a vigorous pruning; those Divi ions which had been inactive for a certain period and showed no prospect of revival, have been struck off, and the following table represents the actual figures at the 31st December, 1929 : PRIORY FOR

Whilst the total strength was reduced by 856 as the result of the disbandment of forty-two inactive units, sixteen new Divi ion were formed bringing 238 new recruits into the ranks of the Brigade. Over one hundred juniors were enrolled into Cadet Units and the proportion of Cadets who passed into the senior ranks proves that this junior department is a valuable training ground for the Brigade. The publication of the Juvenile Manual will no doubt prove a stimulu , both in the enrolment of new members and in maintaining interest. The attendance of members on public duty has been very good. In addition to the routine duties at public functions, entertainment houses and all large assemblies, a large number of voluntary attendances have been made at Hospitals, Convalescent Homes, Clinics, Welfare Centres, and institutions where their services are of value. Members have made themselves responsible for the Ambulance arrangements in connection with summer Camps organized by Girl Guides and other bodies. The Nurses are giving much assistance in conjunction with the district Nurses and Road Patrol work has been taken up in a number of new areas. At most of the coastal towns First Aid provisions have been made and thousands of holiday makers who meet with misadventure find comfort and timely aid under the St. John flag. The Welsh Brigade Final Competitions for the" Llandinam Shield" and" Arthur Griffiths Memorial Cup" were held on 13th April, and the Gamant Ambulance Team of the Carmarthenshire Centre and the Abertillery Nursing Division of the Monmouthshire Centre had the honour of representing Wales in the Final Competitions in London on 9th May. Once again the Commissioner for Wales WaS elected Honorary Director of Ambulance for the Royal National Eisteddfod, which last year met

167

at Liverpool, and in organizing the Ambulance Competitions, which are a regular. feature of t~e Eisteddfod, the Priory had the most efficient co-op~ratIon of the LIverpool Corps of the Brigade under their Corps S~penntendent, Col~n~l G. C. E. Simpson. The genial, courteous and kmd-hearted CommIssIOner, Colonel C. J. Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., took keen interest in all the arrangements. In the two op~n Competitions for the (( Lady Lewis" and" Lady Bute " Cups of the Pnory, the Treharris Team and Liverpool Nursing Team were succe;:, ful. At the request of .t~e R?yal Wels~ Agricultural Show, the Priory arranged the CompetItlOns m connectIOn with the annual show held at Cardiff in Augu t. Teams from Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire and Glamorgan were successful. The Welsh Railways contest took place in Cardiff on 14th June and the (( Harry \"lebb " Cup was won by the Barry Loco. G.W.R. Tea~. The Pr~or'y o~ganized the Competition for the (( Devereux" Cup, the annual ehmmatmg contest for Police Teams in the No.8 District comprising \Vales, lonmouth hire and Herefordshire, of which the' Chief Con ~able of Cardi~, Mr. James A. Wilson, O.B.E., is Secretary. Th~rty-£i:,e Ser:Tlce Medals have been awarded on completion of fifteen year effiCIency m the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Wales, and 23 m mber ' Bars for additional periods of five years. \\.a~es co~tinues to provide its quota of members for the Royal Naval uXlhary Ick B.erth Reserve; 230 member have enrolled in the Military Re erve and a httle progress has been made in the development of the V.A.D. cheme. Two \Vomen's Detachments were registered at Port !albo~ and Ba~goe~ and other Nursing Divisions have signified their mtentIOn of regIstermg. ~he Motor Ambulance Transport Service has become recognized as an mtegral. part. of ~he i?du~triallife of the community. Steady progress was rr:ade m.thls dIrectIon m 1929. The Priory cars carried 5,094 cases, co.vermg a dIsta~ce of 96,498 miles, an increase of 561 cases and 3,084t mlleage. Th~ hI~h standard of efficiency always aimed at was kept up, and the erVlce Improved by the replacement of several old cars. No car station were closed, whilst the opening of one at Cymmer, Port Talbot, added a further link to the chain of cars the Priory is establishing throughout the South Wales coalfield. The past year has been one of much interest in connection with this Department. The Priory has widened the scope of the Depots and concentrated on the development of those in existence rather than extend the area of the service.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the t.] ohn Ambulance Brigade Overseas for the year ending 31st D cember, 192 ~L During the year 42 new Divisions (31 mbulance and 11 1 ursing) have been registered, but 7 Ambulance Divisions and.J.

The strength of the Cadet movement within the Brigade Oversea at 31st December, 1929, was 20 Cadet Divi ~ ions (13 Ambulance and 7 Nursing) with a membership of 592 (427 Boys and 165 Girl); an increase of 5 Divisions and 131 members. The following table shows the growth of the Brigade Overseas in recent years. I took command of the Brigade Over eas in 1920, but it would be misleading, even if it were possible, to quote the strength of the Brigade Overseas in that year as the total had been swelled by the enrolment of a number of members for the W ar period who were still carried on the strength of the Brigade, although many of them had long ince ceased to take any active interest in it. Correct figures are not available until 1925, when none but active Divisions were t:lken into acount. Year. 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929

From the above table it will be seen that during the last five years the number of Divisions has increased by nearly 41 %, while the total personnel has increased by over 80%. In April I was pleased to welcome ::'vIrs. Llncelot D ent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, on her return from her tour of inspection of Nursing units of the Brigade in India, Ceylon, and South Africa. During

her tour, which began in October, 1927, Mrs. Dent travelled over 100,000 miles within the Empire and inspected practically all Nursing Divisions of the Brigade in the Dominions visited; she also lectured on the work of the Order in many places where the Brigade is not established. I congratulate Mrs. Dent on the success of her visits to Dominions in the last few years, on which occasions she has spared no effort to further the work of the Order and its Departments. The early part of the year was noteworthy also for the visit of the Delegation of the Order, consisting of Sir ] ohn Hewitt, Major Colin fcRae, Lady fargaret 1cRae and 11rs. Atkinson to Australia and New Zealand ; Ceylon was also visited en route. In all Districts where the Brigade is e tablished the Delegation inspected the work and were enthu iastically received by all ranks. The exchange of views between the Delegation and the Officers of the Brigade has been most helpful in th e settl ment of a number of questions and in the consideration of others. During the year under review 107 ervice :Medals and 35 Service Medal Bar have been is ued to members of the Brigade Overseas; this is an increa e over the figures of the previous year. \\ ith regard to the work in each Dominion I have to report that in : .. \ 1.: TR"\LL\.-The Di tricts under the command of the Chief Commis ioner for Australia continue to increase in strength and efficiency, pccially in the New outh \Yales District, where the Brigade is in a very h althy condition. In \Vest .. ustralia, 'which is outside the jurisdiction of the Chief Commi ioner for Australia, the Brigade is also in a flourishing condition. Dr. H. G. Tymms has been promoted to the rank of Commis ion 'r anJ ha. taken over the Goldfields Area, vvhere a Nursing Division has been formed and an Ambulance Division resuscitated.

.\X,\u,\.-The Brigade in Canada is still meeting with many difficulties and;) Divisions have been di banded. 5 new Divisions have, however, been formed, 0 that the trcngth of the Brigade is being maintained. The strongest Di trict is that of Ontario under the charge of Dr. C. ]. Copp. CEYLOX.-Both the Delegation and :J.frs. Dent, the Lady Superintendent-in- hief, have paid tribute to the high state of efficiency of the Ceylon Police Corps of the Brigade Overseas, which under the charge of Professor Ellison and 11r. H. L. Dowbiggin has again been responsible for much good work during the year. Many cases where life has been saved by the first aid work of the Police have again been recorded. HOl\G KOX G.-I have again to record an increase in the strength of the Hong Kong District of the Brigade Overseas. A motor ambulance has been presented to the District and has been placed in the charge of the Motor Driver's Association Division, and will be available for the public free of charge. Much public work has been carried out including duty at Races, Fr.stivals, etc., and on occasions of fires. In recognition of these many services the Government has approved that efficient members of the Brigade may attend classes at the Hong Kong Technical Institute at half fees; these fees are refunded if the member passes the subsequent examination. A number of members of the Brigade have availed themselves of the concession. H. R. H. The Duke of Gloucester was pleased to inspect the units in April on the occasion of his visit to the Island.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

INDIA.-The position of the Brigade Overseas in India continues to be consolidated by increase in the personnel and the formation of new Divisions. This is particularly noticeable in the No.1 (Lahore) District, where the Brigade has made considerable progress in recent years . A feature of the year was the work of the Bombay units during the riots in that City. The high standards of the Brigade and traditions of the Order were well maintained by the members of the Brigade Overseas who were active in attending to the injured. I am pleased to be able to record that a ~ ellum Vote of Thanks has been awarded by the Chapter-General to the umts concerned, and that a public acknowledgement of the services of the Brigade on this occasion was made by His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. The Parsi Division, which supplied most of the members who attended for duty during the riots, is the oldest Division in India, and celebrated its silver jubilee during the year.

for their great interest in the work of the Brigade Overseas and their efforts on its behalf. To all officers in charge of Districts, their Staffs, and to all other Officers and ranks I would express my best thanks for their loyalty and unselfish labours during the year on behalf of the sick and suffering throughout the world. The very valuable assistance rendered to me by the Chief Secretary of the Ambulance Department, Captain Cahusac, M.C., requires my warmest thanks. . . Finally I wish once more to bnng before t~e v~no.us ~embers of the Brigade Overseas the needs of that excellent mstItutIOn m Jerusalemour Ophthalmic Hospital- which stands in the place where hundreds of years ago the noble Order of St: John began its operat.ions fo: t~e good of humanity. This Hospital contmues to carryon the eIght pnncIples that move Members of the Order-by conveying to the afflicted people of Pale tine and the adjoining countries beneficial treatment for all forms of eye disease so common in those regions. It indeed deserves the support of everyone, and I. tru t tha~ the mem~ers of the Brigade Overseas will continue to help thIS great object of chanty. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

NEW ZEALAND.-The Brigade in New Zealand continues to increase in strength .and efficiency. The formation of six new Divisions during the year bnngs the number of Divisions within the Dominion to 42 Ambulance and 30 Nursing. The number of Public Duty Cases attended to was 14,864, a figure which reflects considerable credit on the members. During the year some changes in the personnel of the uperior Officers took place. It was my regret to receive the resignation of rajor A. L. Gray, Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Canterbury and \\rest Coast Dis.trict. Major F. ~ Borrie ~as been app,ointed to this vacancy. Mr. J. Brme has been appomted AssIstant CommIssioner in charge of the recently formed \Vanganui District, while, following the promotion of Mr. C. J. Tunks to the rank of Commis ioner, Mr. F. J. Hutchinson has been appointed Assistant Commissioner in the Auckland Di trict. SOUTH AFRICA.-The work of the Brigade in South Africa continues to be maintained at a high state of efficiency. Greater appreciation of the work of the Brigade is shown by the public, which is stimulated bv the interest taken by His Excellency the Governor-General and H .-R.H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for South Africa. Evidences of appreciation have been received from the Mayors of many towns, the Police, the Senate, and the House of A sembly. On the occasion of a re:riew by His Excellency the Governor-General, a fil~ was taken o~ ~he Bngade and subsequently exhibited throughout the Dmon. CompetItIon work among the Divisions is the subject of great interest, and I feel sure this will help to maintain the standard of the work. The work of the Brigade in Kenya, Rhodesia, Malta, and Bermuda is still being carried on, and J am hopeful, will increase as time goes on . .In. a few months: time I shall have resigned my post of Chief CommISSIOner to the Bngade Overseas, and hence it is my special desire to convey my thanks to those who have given me their valued assistance in the past years of my o~ce, especially to the Lady Superintendent, Mrs. Dent, who has ever carned on her activities for the benefit of the Brigade Overseas in many lands. I would also convey my appreciation to the Chief Commissioners in charg~ of Dominions- Lieut.-Colonel G. Barclay of New Zealand; Dr. Benme H ewat of South Africa; Dr. Storie Dixson of Australia' Sir Henry Mill P ellatt of Canada; and Sir Henry Moncrieff Smith of India-

OF TH E NURSING DIVISIONS OF TH E JOHN AMBU L ANC E BRIG A D E OV E RS EA S.

T. JOlIN'S GATE, LO I DO~, E.C. 1. Jun e, 1930· SIR,

I have the honour of submitting my r eport for the year 1929 which covers the periods of my visits to India, Ceylon, Rhode ia and outh Africa. For thi rea on I propo e to confine thi report to a brief statement on the work at the place I have actually vi i ted. ~~DIA.-I . was much impre ed with the developing int r t that is bemg taken m Ambulance work throughout India , particularly in regard to Nursing Divisions. In Bombay I carried out inspections of over 300 member of Ambulance and Nursing Divis~ons. The Divi ion were very smart and capable and I was not surpnsed to hear of the good work they did during the riot -. In Calcutta the members of the . . ur ing Divi ion are able to a i t the ~redical, Mili~ary and :\runi cipa~ authoritie in 0 many 'way - that much expanslOn hould be pos 1b1e. The work being done here by m embers of the Nursing Divi ion at \Yelfare Centre tc. i - mo-t instructive and valuable. At Patlla I was able to carr~' out' the fir t inspection of the Divi ion by a enior Officer and found it "in a good state of efficiency in spite of the difficulties with "'hich it ha " had to ont nd. . At pelhi as the guest of the Chief Commissioner for the Brig-ad Ov rsea m IndIa I '~'as able to introduce the cheme for the formation of V.A.D. units to the :\filitary Authorities, which has ince been adopted. Nowhere in India did I find that 0 mLlch actual progre had been made as at La.'1,?re and much credit is due to those re ponsible. The All-India CompetItlOns were held during my visit here and I "'as much struck bv the wonderfully complete arrangement that were ma'le in all the ection-. I also visited Amritsa, Rawal Pincli, Peshawar and Ouetta where I lectured at the various Colleges, Hospitals, etc . ' ,~ ,

CEYLO~.-During my stay at Ceylon I rec ived nothing but kindne and hospitality everywhere on the Island. The Inspector General of Police, If. Dowbiggin, kindly arranged for me to vi it the various Police Station to see the work of the Ceylon Police orps of the Briaade Overseas and I found that the spirit and ideals of the Order had bee~ so practically acted upon that all sections of the community sought the help of the Police in every variety of emergency.

SOUTH AFRI\A.-I trav:elled .tl~r?ugh S. Rhodesia to Sali bury, and although there IS no Nursll1g D1vlslOn there at the time of writing I am hopeful that it will shortly be possible for one to be formed. I then proceede~ to ~~l~wayo and there inspected the Rail-way Ambulance and Nursmg DlvlslOns who have done so well in so short a time. I feel that there is a great scope for first aid work in Rhodesia.

Cape Province. I was much impressed with the first aid work attached to the De Beer Company at Kimberley where everything is so wonderfully organized. In Cape Town I in pected the Divisions and was able to express your appreciation, as well as my own, of the valuable work they are doing. On St. John' Day I attended with the Divisions a Parade ervice at the Cathedral. At East London I inspected the Divi ions and wa plea ed with the turn-out and practical work. The interest taken by H .E. The Governor General and H.R.H. Princess lice is a very great encouragement to the work. They were both graciously pleased to be present at the Lantern Lecture I gave. Orange Free tate. I wa pIca ed to notice the keenness and espr£t de tate. I inspected at Bloemfontein corps of the Divisions within thi (where I also attended a big reception at the Town Hall), U£tenhage, and at Port Elizabeth where I wa interested in the practical training and invalid cooker} . Transvaal. t J olzannesbllrg I found that the Brigade work was being carricd on under difnculty but that the keenness of the members had produced cfficiency and martnes. The members of the Nursing Divisions her arc grat ful for the facilities for Ho pital training. Over 200 members of ur~ing Divi ions, including members of the Cadet Nursing Division, were een on the occasion of a parade. It \,-a arranged for me to broadca t a talk on the work of the Ordcr of t. John pa t and present. I al 0 in pected at Pretoria, where the turn-out wa good. Salal. I wa very plea 'eel with the smart turn-out and excellent practical dcmon tration of the Division within this District and the intcr st and k ennes of tho c connected with our work was very gratifying. I in pected at Durban, Pietermaritzb llrg, Vryheid. An olltstanding feature of my visit to Durban was the reception given by th :\rayor at the Town Hall when nearly 300 gue ts were present at what wa an impre ive function. wing to lacl- of pace thi report is very incomplete, and I have sent you a full rcpJrt eparately. I cannot close, however, without expressing my incere apprcciation of all effort made on my behalf throughout India, eylon, and outhcrn Africa, and the loyalty to the Order and devotion to its aim that i evident amongst all rank I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

New South Wales Distl'ict.-It will be noted from the Xew South 'Wales Report that the strength of the District has increased from 1,093 to 1,156 members and the number of cases from 16,823 in 1928 to 20,256 to the end of 1929. The District is very much handicapped for the want of funds, but I am given to understand that strenuous efforts will be made during the next twelve months to overcome this. The Annual Church Parade of this District was held on 23rd June at St. Andrew's Cathedral. Over 200 attended the Service. An excellent sermon was delivered by the Rev. \V. G. Hilliard, M.A., Headmaster of the Trinity Grammar School. I greatly regret that Dr. E. P. Sinclair, District Surgeon, passed away suddenly on 30th June. Dr. Sinclair \\-as a popular Officer, and his loss to the District is much deplored. Dr. A. H. McLeod has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The Annual Inspection \\ as held on 19th October and \\-as carried out by :\IajorGeneral G. \V. Barber, C.B., C.~LG., D.S.a . , V.D., Director-General of :'IIedical Services for the Commonwealth. The Parade State \\'as 3 9 of all ranks. Dr. Hugh R. G. Poate, Assistant Commissioner, reports that the year has been one of increased progress and elliciency, and that further demands were made for the voluntary services of the Brigade, and further, desires to thank all the 'Ofhcers and members for the amount of " -ork accomplished, and for their devotion to duty. oulh ,-lust/'alia Dislricl.-It is gratifying to report that the Divisions in South Australia are doing well. The An nual Parade Service was held on 23rd June in the presence of His Excellency ir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, V.C., accompanied by Lady Ruthven. 100 members were present at the sen·ice. The OJ1icer in charge of the South Australia District (:'IIr . G. F. Hussey, J.P.) reports that a new feature of Bngade \\ ork during the year was the opening up of new Pleasure Eesorts, \\ here public duties were carried out by the members with success. Ile wishes once again to tender his best thanks to the Committee of the Racing Clubs for so generously supporting the efforts of the Brigade by their regular donations of portions of the Totalisator Fractions. It IS expected that b\'o ambulance diyisions will be registered early in 1930. rlcto/La Dzslrict .-Although hitherto I have not received the Annual Report, I understand that the Brigade is steadily progressing, and that several ne,\' Diyisions \\ ere formed during the year .

BERl\fUDA.-Major The Rev. A. E. H orner, District Superintendent, Bermuda District reports :-' That although the Hamilton TO. 1 Division is at the moment meeting with much difficulty, the Division is doing good work, and that in spite of small numbers there is hope of extension.

CANADA.-Dr. C. J. Copp, on behalf of Sir H enry Pellett, Chief Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada, reports : District Officers and Officers in charge of Divisions have discharged their duties satisfactorily, as will be seen from the summary of duties performed . The increase in membership is not large but it is encouraging. Annual inspections of the Ambulance and u rsing Divisions have been held, and the loyalty of the Officers and members of all ranks to the Order cannot be spoken too highly of.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

Quebec.-The outstanding feature of the year has been the Vice-Regal Inspection by Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Viscountess \Villingdon in the fount Royal Hotel, :i \1ontreal, on the 25th January, 1929, of the Ambulance and ursing Divisions of the Quebec Di trict . This inspection was attended by a number of officials of the Government and of the City of Montreal and by a number of notable persons . Their Excellencies expressed themselv es as highly gratified by the efficiency shown in the work demon trated to them . All Divisions show an increased activity both in membersh ip and in the performance of Public Duty . J\Janitoba.-The vi it of the Commissioner to \Vinnip eg gave him mu ch anxiety; the unrest noticeable in the membership of the two Ambulance Divisions which the Commissioner endeavoured to placate has r es ulted in the Divisions being disbanded . This of course is much regretted, but it is hoped that out of such a step stronger ties may be developed . 'W est Kildonan, a thriving suburb of 'W innip eg, has now organized an Ambulance Division, and its progress is very marked and encouraging. Saskatchewan.-In Saskatoon the two ursing Divi ions carryon a most useful work in community service which is mu ch appreciated. Alberta.-In Alberta the Edmonton Central ~ ursing Division justified itself in every way, and is doing good work. British Columbia.-Here renewed activity prevails and an Ambulance Division. was formed in Vancouver in February, 1929 . The work of both Ambulance and ursing Divisions is highly commendable, and these organizations are working under one roof, an arrangement which is most helpful. Ontario .-\Vest Toronto Ambulance Division reports a slightly increased membership, although it has carried out a programme of "weeding". This Din Ion maintains a very high state of efficiency and does much pubhc service. Several members have also undertaken " care of invalids" and th eir services have been highly appreciated. The Toronto Transportation Commission Ambulance Division maintains a fairly satisfactory establishment and I noti ce improvements over that of 192 . The members take part in many public duties . Toronto Central ursing Division has carried out a " pruning" campaign and the membership recorded represents the active members . It is maintaining its work well and engages on much work among the poor and blind as well as attending the clinic at the St. John Hospital. West Toronto Tursing Division shows increased membership, has been very active, and has also helped the St. John Ambulance Association (O ntario Council) by sending its members to act as " d emonstrators " to the First Aid and Home Nursing Classes. Very worthy efforts in this Division culminated in assisting the poor and needy , not only with the good things of life, but by practical help in their hour of sickness . Owen Sound is more energetic and shows an increased membership. Bridgeburg Ambulance Division r emains stationary as far as membership is concerned, but takes part in much public duty . London, Ontario, has, in the Lord Kitchener ursing Division, an enthusiastic group of women and the work accomplished by them is highly commendable. Here also the Forest City Ambulance Division is moving very slowly. The Divisional Superintendent (Mr. Cooper) has found it necessary to ask relief from this office, and Mr. Loveday, who is an old member, has consented to undertake the duties of Superintendent. Under his able guidance I feel sure much improvement will be made. In Windsor the Border Cities Ambulance Division holds the confidence of the public and is performing its duties satisfactorily, but its membership is hard hit owing to the fluctuation of trade and its close proximity to the United States Border. St. Thomas Central Nursing Division is passing through a critical stage . Its membership has decreased but nevertheless they continue very active in communal life and assist as Demonstrators at classes held under the Association and maintain a high state of efficiency. The Timmins Ambulance Division situate in the Mining area of Northern Ontario is one of the outposts of the Brigade. They maintain a Medical Comforts Depot, and are busily engaged in the endeavour to build a permanent home of their own.

Dome Mines Ambulance Division maintains a high state of efficiency and a team from this Division won the trophy presented for annual competition between Mining Teams by the i\Iinister of Mines, the Hon. Charles McCrea . Owing to a disastrous fire at the Mine lIEll it has necessitated the removal of many members and curtailed activities in many directions . The Peterboro Ambulance Divisio n has now a membership of nineteen, who are extremely active not only in public duties but have given demonstrations in outlying Districts which have received much commendation. In Hamilton both the Canadian Westinghouse Division and Hamilton Nursing Divisio n are carrying on much good work. The membership seems stationary, but those who serve are enthusiastic. The Ottawa Central ursing Division maintains an extremely high standard and is, without doubt, one of the most outstanding Nursing Divisions in the Domimon. Members of this Division were able to capture the" Lady Drummond Cup ", emblematic of the Dominion Championship in Home ursing. The year 1929 has been of varying encouragement, but progress may be reported, the membership being 957 as against 939 in 192 . The new D1\,'isions are as follows: Peterboro Division, Seven Oaks Division, and \'ancouve r Division. Annual Reports furni shed by the Divisions show that the number of Public Duties is mo.:;t S1.ttsfactory, t tallmg as it do es 2,905. The number of cases of First Aid treated is: On Public Duty, 3,568; Jot on Public Duty, 2,731 ; making the total number of cases attended 6,299. The .\nnual hurch Parades were all well attended on Sunday, 23rd June, special sermon. bClOg preached a t which the high ideals of the Order were placed before our membcr and the general public, such helping the former to carry on the work with rcnewed zeal and the lattcr to appreciate our work from the knowledge as t o our ideals of scrvice. The establishment of Divisions at 31st D ecember, 1929, was 17 Ambulance Divi ions and 1-1 Xursing Di'-1sions and 1 Cadet Ambulance Division. During the ycar 1-1 members were presented with the Service lIIedal of the Order, and 3 mcmbcrs r eceived the Bar to the lIIedal. The bcautiful Challenge Bowl presented by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Xursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas for annual competition amongst .I. ·uring Divisions of the Brigade Oversea within the Dominion of Canada has bcen awardcd to the lIIontreal entral .l. ursing Division, second place being gained by the Otta\\'a cntral Nursing Division.

CEYLO),T.- Profes or F.O'E. Ellison M.D., the Acting Assistant Commis ioncr in charge of the eylon District, reports : The cylon Police Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade was formed in 1912. A sound kno" lcdge of First Aid is essential to Police in a country where crimes of violence are common. The total trength of the Ceylon Police Corps was: At 30th September, 1912, 132 ; at 30th eptember, 1929 , 1,367 . 107 lIIembcrs of the orps hold the Service :'IIedal of the Order of St. John and five members hold the Bar to the Medal. Every police station on the island is equipped with a stretcher, a first aid box, and a hamper containing the most n ecessary first aid materials. The police have two horse-d rawn ambulances available for use in the city of Colombo and b\'o motor ambulances belonging to the Colombo l\Iunicipality. The latter 'w ere used on 710 occasions in 1929, compared with 6 0 calls in 192. A motor ambulance launch has been provided by the Port Commission for use in the Colombo Harbour in cases of accident. Special attention is paid to teaching police to improvise first aid appliances from materials found at or near the scene of accident. First Aid hampers and boxes are not avai.lable at once in such e mergencies. Instruction in swimming and restoration of the apparently drowned was developed. In some districts the Headmen were given lessons in reviving persons after being rescued from drowning. At the Training School all recruits are taught to swim before passing out. Every policeman who has a sufficient knowledge of English is required to obtain a First Aid Certificate. The number of certificate holders increases yearly as the police become more proficient in English.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

The fact that Police can render first aid is appreciated by the public living in rural areas who, in the absence of a Government Hospital, Dispensary, or Medical Practitioner, come to the Police Station for treatment such as can be renclered by those possessing a knowledge of First Aid. On 17th November, 1929, the Force was honoured by a visit from a Delegation of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which passed through Colombo on the way to Australia and New Zealand. Sir John Hewett and the members of the Delegation on their arrival inspected representatives of the Ceylon Police Corps of the Brigade. The thanks of the Corps are due to the Hon . Dr. J . F. E . Bridger, Director of Medical and Sanitary Services; to Dr. H. E . Schokman, the Police urgeon; and to other Medical Officers in the Provinces who have throughout the year prepared members of the Force for first aid examination and instructed others qualifying as efficient.

The Railway Division did not compete, holding an Inter-Squad competition in lieu thereof. This was won by the" A " Team. The" Lau Chu Pak" Duty Cup for the best record of actual duty performed was awarded to the Mong Kok Division. The" Holyoak" Attendance Cup for highest attendances at drills and lectures during the year was awarded to the Chinese Y.:M.C.A. Division. A new Silver Cup has been presented to the Corps by Messrs. Eng Aun Tong. This will be competed for twice annually , the competition being conducted on similar lines to those laid down for the" Ralphs" Efficiency Shield. As in previous years, great attention was given to swimming. We aim at making every member an expert swimmer. Life-saving demonstrations were given as usual. and during the season members of the Brigade were often called on to r ender help at the various bathing beaches. One member was awarded the Belilios Medal for bra very in saving life from drowning on two occasions. At the annual Aquatic Competitions the principal trophies were award ed thus : " Ho Tung" Life-saving Competition Cup, Chinese Athletic Division; "Chatel''' Challenge Shield, t . ] oseph's ollege Division and Chinese Athletic Division; " • am Yeung up", hinese Athletic Division; "Ellis Kadoorie " Shield (Team Race), St. Joseph 's College Division; "Chan Chan Nam " Cup, Kowloon Division; " Ho Brothers" Cup, St. Joseph's College Division. Representatives from all Divisions attended the King 's Birthday Celebrations, Ewanti Races, Jockey Club Eaces, and Gymkhanas, Football Matches, Sports :'\Ieetings, and Fires. At hinese Tew Year the principal streets were patrolled by the various Divisions as in previous years. Our men have turned out punctually to all fires and are at all times ready to assist the Police and Fire Brigades in any useful capacity. Their services are much appreciated by the public as well as by the Pollce and FIre Brigade, "w ith whom they work regularly and harmoniously. On two occasions the orps was called on by the R.A.1I.C. to assist in certain manceuvres, and a Ictter of appreciation \\'as subsequently received from Colonel T. E. Fielding, D.S.O ., R .A "I.C., Assistant Director Medical Services, China Command. By invit.atIon of the :-lilitary Authorities we sent 12 Officers on the occasion of the Eing' Birthday and Armistice Day to represent the Corps at the ceremonial parade at the enotaph, while on Armistice Day we laid a wreath at the Cenotaph and also at the hinese \Var ~Iemorial. On the occasion of the visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester the Corps undert.ook street duty while a selected Division of fifty members was, by invitation, on parade at Government House and was inspected by Ilis Eoyal Highness, who expressed great interest in the work of the Corps in the Colony. A Guard of Honour was also provided when His Excellency the Officer Administering t.he Government opened the new Chinese Y. I.C.A. in Kowloon . At a meeting organized by the Chinese Athletic Association, at which representatives from various parts of the East attended, we maintained duty parties and also by request gave a display of ambulance work. Attendance at over 200 accident cases was reported during the year. Among the more meritorious cases was one in which a Chinese girl was washed into a nullah near King's College; but for the timely assistance of l\Ir. A . l\1orris, and others, she would have lost her life, as a strong ru h of water was flowing. She was, however, dragged out and taken to Ring's College for first aid, which "vas rendered by Mr. Morris and members of the Eing's College Division, and later sent to Hospital. His Majesty has honoured the orps by being pleased to approve the promotion of th e Assistant Commissioner from the rank of Commander to that of Knight of Grace of the Venerable Order of t. John . Service Ieclals have been awarded by the Order to the following : Divisional Superintendent Leung Sui Sang, King's College Division . Ambulance Officer Chan Yuk In, King's College Old Boys' Division. Sergeant Fung Hoi Shun, King's College Old Boys' Division. Sergeant Tsoi Hin Ran, I(ing's College Old Boys' Division. The Belilios' Medal for gallantry in saving life has been awarded to Private Lan Kau, of the Railway Division, and Corporal Chan Sik Pui, of the King 's College Division. Private Lau Kau rushed in front of a train to drag away a Chinese woman, and in doing so was knocked down by another train and severely injured; he was in hospital for several weeks as a result. Had it not been for his prompt and brave action the woman would undoubtedly have been killed; as it was she escaped with only slight injuries.

Ho G KONG.-Mr. E. Ralphs, Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Hong Kong District reports : The year has been one of continued progress and increased efficiency, and, I venture to think, of increased usefulness to the public. The Brigade has continued to assist in the instruction of First Aid t.o t.he Police and Firemen, of whom 396 passed the first examination, 32 the second, 3 the third, and one the fourth, a total of 432; of these 69 are Europeans, 127 Indians, and 236 Chinese. Relations between our members and all ranks of the Police and Fire Brigade continue to be most cordial. vVe also undertook the training of Public Dispensary Attendants in stretcher drill. vVe have suffered a great loss in the resignation of His Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., LL.D., Enight of Grace of the Order, of his office as Patron of the Hong Kong and China District of the Brigade. \\'e warmly congratulate Sir Cecil upon his promotion to be Governor of Singapore and High Commissioner of the Federated ~Ialay tate, and feel sure that by thiS time he is already urging the formation of new Corps of the Brigade in t.he ternt.ory fortunate enough to be under his rule. Before Sir Cecil left the Colony the Senior Officers of the Brigade and members of the Finance Committee-comprising leading Chinese Resident.s of t.he Colonyattended at Government House and begged Hi Excellency's acceptance of a handsome silken scroll, with a suitable inscription in gold embroidery and enclosed in an appropriate casket as a token of our very profound appreciation of all the assistance he has given us and of cordial good wishes for his future happiness and prosperity. As will be seen from the returns, we have during the year formed three new Divisions, our total enrolment being 367 as against 308 in 192 . In the work of the ursing Divisions no practical work in hospitals unfortunately has been possible this year, but courses of lectures and demonstrat.ion have been given in each of the two Divisions. A course in advanced home nursing has been taken in the Victoria Division, and opportunity afforded to see the women's wards and operating theatres in the Tsan Yuk Hospital. Membership has fluctuated during the year on account of marriage, changes of address, and the pressure of other duties, many of the nurses being on the staff of hospitals or teachers in schools, Vernacular and Anglo-Chinese. The members are nevertheless doing good "work and exerting a beneficial influence upon the Chinese "women of the Colony. The annual Competition for the " Ralphs Shield", awarded for general efficiency. was held at the end of the year. After a series of searching tests extending over two days the results were announced as follows: King's College Division, 112marks; Indian Division and Mong Kok Division, 109 marks; Kowloon Division. 105 marks; Y.M.C.A. Division, 93 marks; Shaukiwan Division, 80 marks. The judges, Major T. H . Robinson, D.S.O., R.A.M.C., Officer Commanding the Military Hospital, and Major Campbell, D.S.O., 1I.B.E., M.C., R.A.M.C., presented the following report : "The inspection of the St. J01m Ambulance Brigade was carried out by us . All the units were smart on parade and their drill was up to a high standard. The first aid work was very good. We found great difficulty in judging which was the best, and the marks were very close. The whole reflects great credit both on the personnel, the Officers of the units, and the instructors. The keenness of some of the Officers is worthy of note."

R EPORTS FROM DOMINIO S.

Corporal Chan Sik Pui on two occasions leapt into the harbour, each time being successful in saving a man from drowning. Had not Corporal Chan been an e'Cpert and powerful s\"rimmer his bravery would have been of no avail, as the water was deep and there was a strong tide running. The Annual Inspection of the Corps was carried out by His Excellency 11r. \V. T. Southam, C.M.G., Officer Administering the Government. His Excellency the Governor of l\Iacao (the neighbouring Portuguese Colony) was represented by his Aide-de-Camp-the first occasion on which the Corps has been so honoured-while among the Official Party were the General Officer Commanding the Troops in China (Major-General J. \V. Sandilands, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O.), Lieut.- 01. :\liles, O.B.E., R.A.M .C., II ajor T. H. H . Robinson, D.S.O., R.A .l\I.C., and Sir Robert. Ho Tung (Hon. Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John). There were present also members of the Legislative Council, many }Javal and Military Officers, numerous Chinese gentlemen, who support the Brigade, and a crowded gathering of the pu blic. . During the Inspection a Demonstration of practical ambulance work was gn-en, and the Victoria -ursing Division erected a hospital tent in which they gave a demonstration of their special duties. His Excellency, after a careful inspection, im·ested Mr. Ralph as a Knight of Grace of the Order, and distributed the variou medals, shields, and trophies won during the year; addressing the Parade he highly commended the Corps on the Display and work done. . The proceedings terminated by a :\1arch Past of the Corps led by a long tram of motor vehicles, the Government :\Iotor Ambulance, and the :\Iotor mbulance r ecently presented to the Corps by :;\1iss Chan he Iring. In addition to the annual inspection each Divi ion was inspected. at least once during the year by me or by :\1r. i.\Iorris; several general parades of the orps were held, the Senior Officers being present and \Ir. H.alston in command. These parades have proved very useful, and although they entail much hard work on the part of all they are appreciated by the members . In September ?lIr. Fung Kong Un, one of our Patrons and a member of a Finance Committee, gave a tea party to the Corps on the roof gard.en of the Kong lIong Hotel. The whole Corps attended. During the proceedings :\1r. hIng presented the large number of :\Iedallions and Labels earned by the members during the year, and the Assistant Commissioner, addressing the gathering, announced that :\l1ss Chan Che Hing had presented a J\Iotor Ambulance to the Corps. This "\mbulance is at the call of any member in case of emergency and no fee is charged. for its use The presentation of a Silver Challenge up for" Efficiency" Competitions has already been referred to. I have, as in pre\-ious years, to record my great appreciation of the very valuable services of all the Officers and i.\lembers of the Brigade in this District, and to thank them for their unfailing loyal support and unselfish labours; I also call special attention to the excellent work of :\1r. :\Iorris, our "ery energetic District Superintendent, and also of :\Irs. Langley, who has carried out the arduous duties of Hon. Corps Secretary ,,-ith great energy and efhciency. It is again gratifying to r eport that all members of the Corps-European, Chinese, and Indian alike-have throughout worked together in harmony and without the slightest friction. The Corps is , in every respect, a " happy" one. We continue to receive every assistance in training from the Officers and .C.O. 's of the Royal Army Medical Corps, and have to thank them cordially for their help. Our grateful thanks are due to all who have generously subscribed or raised the funds which eL...Lble us to carryon our work, and to the Finance Committee for their invaluable assistance in collecting and raising these subscriptions.

throughout these years, the Brigade in India may be said to be still in its early stages of development. During the year under r eport several fresh fields of activity were opened up. An innovation of considerable importance was made by the inclusion of the Brigade Overseas in the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the St. John Ambu lance Association, Indian Council, held jointly"v;ith that of the Indian Red Cross Society, on the 24th June (St. John 's Day) at Viceregal Lodge, Simla. It was thought that a report of the activities of the Brigade Overseas in India at this meeting would serve to keep the Brigade's work prominently before the public and stimulate interest in, and support for, its activities. Durin g 1929 Xo . 1 District formed two new Ambulance and one new Nursing Division ; ~ TO. 2 District an Ambulance and a Nursing Division and two other Ambulance Divi"ions, the ~Iedical and Scottish Churches College were each split into three separate units and converted into Corps; No.3 District was stren~thened by the addltion of a Cadet Ambulance Division; and the TO. 4 District regularized its po ition by getting the Ambulance Divisions formed in the Buckingham and Carnatic :'lills in 1926 duly registered at St. John's Gate. TO change in the administration of the Brigade Overseas in India took place during the year under report, but the advisability of splitting up the present large Districts and forming some new Districts is being contemplated. It is believed that this step \\"ould lead to greater activity, and would enable administrative officers to exercise closer personal supervision over Brigade affairs. Details of the work performed by the four Districts are given below : The .\'0 . 1 Dislrict.-During the year under review the number of Divisions in the DIstrict was 11, viz. 2 Ambulance Divisions of the Torth-vVest Railway Corps, 4 Tursing Divisions (1 of which ,,·as formed during the year), 5 College Ambulance Divisions (2 of which were formed during the year). :\lr5. Battye, Lady District Superintendent, held supervisory charge of all the Tursing Dl\-iSlOn . The members of the Xursing Divisions have continued to show great interest in their \\·ork and the credit is largely due to the interest taken by :\Ic . 13attve and her Officers. The Indian Division of the Xorth-\Yest Railway Corps completed its sixth year of existence and continues to be active and efficient. In the All-India Competitions, held at Gwalior in February-:\Iarch, 1929, the members of this Division won the Brigade Shield for the fourth time in succession, also the Educational Shield and the Sir Frederick \\nyte Cup. One squad of this Division was deputed on the 11 th October, 1929 , to assist in the tran port of a serious case from Lahore Railway tation to the Albert \ ' ictor Hospital, Lahore; and assistance was rendered on several occasions by the members of this Division in the various branches of Railway admiOlstration . The Carriage and \Yagon DivislOn of the Korth-\Vestern Railway Corps won the second prize in the event for the Brigade Shield at the All-India Ambulance Competition. In addition to ordinary drills and duties, great assistance was given by the members in rendering first aid to employees injured in the workshops, and approximately 5,000 cases in all were treated.

INDIA.-Sir H enry Moncrieff Smith, C.LE., Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India, reports : The r eports for 1927 and 1928 were both submitted on my behalf by l\Iajor-General Sir Henry Symons, K.B.E., C.S .I., who has just left India on retirement from service. General Symons has always been a keen supporter of the Brigade in India, and was for several years the Assistant Commissioner of the No. 4 District. At headquarters he acted as Chief Commissioner on two occasions during my absence, and has always given us willing help when needed. I wish to record my gratitude and appreciation of his services and my regret at losing him on his retirement. The St. John Ambulance Brigade in India is now a quarter of a century old, and although the work of constru ction and consolidation has been steadily pursued

The No . 2 Dis/rict.-The District comprises 2 Corps, 3 ursing Divisions, 16 Ambulance Divisions, and 1 Cadet Ambulance Division, of which the 2 Corps and 1 Jursing Divi ion were formed during the year. The members went on duty at Hockey and Football ;.\latches, Swimming Competitions and several Hindu and ':'lahomedan Festivals, the most important ones being the Gunga Saugor :\Icla, Puri Car Festival, Sivaratri and Chaitra Sankranti l\Ielas, where millions of pilgrims attend and outbreaks of cholera, small pox, and other epidemics often occur, besides the usual casualties such as fractures, syncopes, etc. The men's services have been much appreciated by the Public Health Department, the J\Iunicipal Authorities, and the District Boards. Instead of annual Camp a rally ,,"as held when the men were instructed in squad and company drill, stretcher drill and First Aid under the direct supervision of th e District Officer assisted by Dr. S. . Dutt, Lieut. Lahiri and l\Ir. K. N. Dutta. The Bengal Provincial Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association mad e a grant of Rs 200 to meet the expenses. The Bengal Centre of th e association held its annual competitions, for which a large number of t eams entered, on the 23rd November; the successful teams were the 4th (Railway) and the 3rd (European Police). The high standard exhibited r edounds to the credit of Di visional Surgeons and Superintendents.

D uring t he absence on leave out of India of the Assistant Commissioner the District Superintendent officiated as Officer in Charge of the District in an efficient and able manner. The Lady District Superintendent reports as follo\\-s : The 1st Cit y European I ursing Division continues its drills and activities during the year 1929. Unfortunately, like all concerted movements in India, we have had to meet with the difficulties of Officers and isters on long leave and others leaving India for good, but in spite of this the various activities have continued. We are in our 1 th year of daily attendance at the Sambhu ath Pundi Hospital Out-Door Dispensary where the Sisters gain their practical knowledge of First Aid and Nursing_ The Anglo-Indian Baby Clinic run by the 1st European Division is in its 10th year of existence, and members of the Division attend daily_ The new activity of preparing dressings for Leper Hospitals is excellent practice for V.A.D.'s. The 3rd (1st E.B. Railway) Nursing Division formed in the June of the year under report is proving a keen Division. In connection with the communications from Headquarters, Delhi, regarding Voluntary Aid Detachments, sections are being formed from the abo\'e two Xursing Divisions. The Indian Nursing Division has not done such good work during the year due to a change of Lady Superintendent, but arrangements are under consideration to ensure continuity in that office. In February the annual" At Home " was given. Among the guests to meet the President, the Hon. Lady Hackson, \\-ere the Assistant CommisslOner, ~lajor IIe\\'itt, Officers and Members of the I ursing Divisions, and Othcers of the Ambulance Divisions. On this occasion the Reports and Accounts of the 1st European ~ursmg Division were presented and the President distributed the inter-Division ChallengeCups for First Aid and Home Nursing, and Highest Average m both and for Bandaging. At the St. John Ambulance Brigade Competition in the ladies event Sister O. Sarkies, of the 1st European ~ursing Division, stood first, winnmg the cup and miniature, and Sister J. Joscelyne stood second, \\-inning the silver medal. The No.3 District.-The year has been one of continued progress and increased efficiency. The chief event of the year was the Bombay riots, which, while it cast a gloom over the city, gave an opportunity to the Brigade in this District to uphold the traditions of the Venerable Order of St John. A detailed report on the dutles performed during the disturbances is given below. At the close of the year the District had on its roll one Xursing Division, nine Ambulance Divisions, and three Cadet Divisions (two Ambulance and one Xursing). The formation of the new Ahmedabad Cadet Ambulance Division was sanctioned by the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas \\ith effect from 1/1 '29. The membership strength of the District rose from 5,*0 to 570 during the year. Public Duties were performed on various occasions including the Bombay Riots, the Agha Khan Hockey Tournament (which lasted for 1 month and 12 days and which was attended in turn by the Parsi, Jev"ish, Hindu, Cosmopolitan, and Radiant Club Divisions), Walking, Running, and Swimming Races and Competitions, Excursions, Special Trains, Baby and Health 'Weeks, etc. The most important duties were performed on the occasions of the Bombay Riots in February 1929 and ~Iay 1929. The services rendered on the 8th and 9th February, which were the worst days of the riots, particularly by the Parsi Division, were so conspicuous that the following letter was received by ~Ir . Panthaki, Superintendent of the Division from the Private Secretary to His Excellency the Governor : " His Excellency has heard that your Association has been doing excellent work in endeavouring to bring relief to the victims of the present disturbances in Bombay, and has asked me to inquire if there is any way in which the Government can assist in this respect." Further p roof of His Excellency's interest in Ambulance work was shown by the g rant of certificates over His Excellency's signature to 37 members of the Parsi, 8 of the J ewish, 8 of the Cosmopolitan, and 4 of the Maratha Divisions, in personal appreciation of the services rendered by the Brigade to the citizens of Bombay at a time of public anxiety and stress. The certificates referred to the valuable work of the Brigade in helping the injured during the disturbances in Bombay and the co urage and skill with which t he task was accomplished .

The services of members were further r ecognized by the Venerable Order of St . JO.h n by the award of Vellum Votes of Thanks of His Royal Highness The G rand Pnor and the Chapter-General of the Order to District Superintendent Major W. NU.n a n and to the Farsi Division which was aided by some members of the Cosmopolitan Division and Je,\ish Division . 576 cases of accidents and sudden illness (440 on Public Duty and 136 not on Public Duty) are reported to have been treated during the year. Of these 283 were treated by the Parsi Divisions, 77 by the Je\\ish, 66 by the Cosmopolitan, 57 by. the IIindu S.S.L., 44 by the ~laratha, 36 by the Peoples Union and 13. by the R~dIant lub Division.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIO S.

It is reported with regret that the following members of the District died during 1929 : Corporal S. 11. Kothare, Hindu Division, 10 /4 /2 9. Private R. S . Desai, l\Iaratha Division, 1/6,2 9 . 1: . B. Tampall Surat Cosmopolitan " F. E. Wadia J Division, 30 '6/29. Ambulance Sister S. D. Desai, Parsi Nursing Division, 16 / 10 29.

From the reports furnished it is found that the number of public services undertaken by members of the Brigade has continued to advance, as the following figures will show:1929 ........................ 36,226 1928 ........................ 28,523 1927 ............ ........ .... 21,629 1926 ............ ... ......... 16, 139

The last-named was a prominent member of the Parsi 1\ursing Division from its inception. She was an enthusiastic Ambulance worker and her death is a great loss to the Division. No.4. District. This District consists of the St. John Ambulance Corps, ~1adras, only, and comprises 8 Ambulance Divisions, with a total strength of 256 members on 31st December, 1929. During the year under report the Corps held 30 parades and 4 inspections, while its members attended 1,340 cases of accident and sudden illness. As usual the members of the Corps were on duty during the Athletic Sports and Tournaments of 8 schools, 2 colleges, and 10 private clubs, besides the three sea-bathing festivals, the Park Fair Sports Exhibition, the Xationa1 Health and Baby Week, and the :'Iladras Olympic games. On 25th October, 1929 , the Corps "as inspected by the Hon. Dr. U. Rama Rao, the District Superintendent, and on 20th October, 1929, its annual re-examination was held. Acting on the suggestion of Colonel R. A. Needham to raise labour Divisions attached to the Corps, the Corps Superintendent and Secretary, :'IIr. E. K. Govindaswami Mudaliar, B.A., raised two labour Divisions in the BucklOgham and Carnatic Mills in 1926, and thei r registration was eiIected during the year under report. \Ylth a view to the formation of Nursing Divisions, eight classes in First id were started in the leading girls' schools and colleges in ~1adras. To keep up the supply of new members to the Corps, St. John Ambulance Association classes were, as u ual, conducted und er the auspices of the Corps, with the result that about 600 men and women were trained in First Aid. The above reports from the Districts show satisfactory progress, and an increase in the total strength of 3 Ambulance, 21: ursing, and 1 Cadet Divisions. There has been a notable increase of interest in the work of the l-ursing Divisions. It is interesting to note that both o. 1 and No.2 Districts have now enrolled Indian Nursing Divisions, which entails a great deal of hard work and the overcoming of many difficulties and prejudices. A scheme for the enrolment of Voluntary Aid Detachments for war service is under consideration by Army Headquarters, and an experimental scheme has been worked out and communicated to the Districts in order that some idea of the resources at our disposal may be obtained. This has given an impetus to Home Nursing classes and to the formation of more Nursing DiVIsions as the Brigade J.. ursing Divisions provide the r ecruits for Detachments. Finally I wish to express my thanks to the Assistant Commissioner of the four Districts under my charge who have ungrudgingly given up much of their time to Brigade work and to the District Officers and members who have co-operated loyally in keeping the Divisions efficient and ready to perform public duties whenever required. The number of cases treated during the year as r eported above is sufficient proof that the Brigade in India is justifying its existence from the practical standpoint apart from its educational influence on the communities it is serving.

The number of cases of " First Aid attended on Public Duty" was 14,864 against 12,621 for the previous year, and 10,192 for 1927 . The number of cases of" First Aid not on Publ1c Duty" 'w as 17,596, the figures for 1928 being 13,415, and for 1927, 10,075. The removal or transport work carried out by the Brigade has shown an advance, there being 3,033 cases against 1,779 for the preceding year. In Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin the transport of the sick and injured is controlled by the Associal1on, and during the yea r the number of cases so dealt 'w ith was as under:-

MALTA.-Major W. R . Gatt, M.B.E., District Officer in charge of the Malta District, reports : 'Nork and instruction was carried out during the cooler months of the year. The Hamrun Division restarted work and it is hoped it will progress and r esume its pre-war strength.

NEW ZEALAND.-Lieut.-Colonel G. Barclay. O.B.E., Chief Commissioner for t he Brigade Overseas within the Dominion of New Zealand, reports : The success of the previous year has continued during 1929, and prosperity is r eported from the six Districts in the Dominion. The membership has increased to 1,618, while eight new Divisions have been formed, viz. two Ambulance, four Cadet Ambulance, one ursing, and one Cadet Nursing.

Auckland .................. 1,401 Christchurch ............. 1,058 Dunedin ................... 1,3 4 If these 3,843 cases are added to the 3,033 cases handled by the members of the Brigade, a total of 6, 76 is arrived at-a splendid record for t. John . In 'Wellington the members of the local Division act as Honorary Bearers to the Free Ambulance, and during the year registered an attendance of 2,6161 hours. Cases" • -ursed privately by members of Kursing Divisions" totalled 508 against 497 for the previous year, while the number of Hospital attendances was 225 against 211 for 192 ). Continuing the custom establi hed some years ago of taking a record of Public Duty undertaken on a given day during the "inter sports season, the figures were taken for aturday, 20th July, when it was found that there was an increased actlvity not\\ithstandlllg the fact that in some parts of the Dominion the day selected was most inclement and necessitated the postponement of a number of the fixtures. I gi,-e below the totals for each District : -

The cases treated on a corresponding day of 192 totalled 593. Changes have taken place amongst the senior officers of the Brigade. In the Auckland District Mr. F. J . Hutchinson has r eceived promotion from Senior District Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner. In the \\ ellington District Mr. F. \V. Ward has been appointed a District Officer, his place as Corps Superintendent being taken by :;\1r. \V. \Y . Dutton from the \Vellington Division. Mrs. M. F. Gaby has been appointed Lady Corps Superintendent, \\Tellington, and 11iss M. C. Day and Miss :'II. T. Griffith have been selected as Lady Corps Officers. In the \\'anganui District Dr. Mollie Christie has become Lady District Superintendent to complete establishment. In the anterbu ry and 'Vest Coast District the Brigade suffered a great loss through the retirement of :'I1ajor A. L. Gray from the position of Assistant Commissioner in charge . He had had a long and active association with the Order and had done much to further its interests and promote the prosperity of the Brigade, and it was wiLh feelings of deep regret that his r esignation was accepted. St. John owes a great deal to Major Gray for his unceasing efforts on its behalf. To fill the vacancy Dr. F. J. Borrie has been appointed as Acting Assistant Commissioner. Miss F. L. Cooper, who for a lengthy period has carried out the duties of Lady District Officer at District Headquarters, Christchurch, "ith much acceptance, also r esigned her office and Miss Rita :'II. J. Pyne was -appointed to the position. Ambulance Competitions were held at Auckland, 'W ellington, \Vanganui, and Dunedin, and created considerable interest.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

The visit to the Dominion of the Delegation from St. John's Gate was much appreciated by all ranks of the Brigade and the publicity which was thus given to the Order and its activities must prove of considerable value to the cause of St. John. ew Ambulance Headquarters have been secured for the city of Dunedin. They are much more commodious than those previously in us e and the result should be improved efficiency on the part of members. During the year a Cadet Tursing Division (the first in the Dominion) was inaugurated, while four Cadet Ambulance Divisions were r egistered . The honour of having the first Cadet l\ursing Division belongs to \Vanganui, where th e first Cadet Ambulance Division was r egistered in 1928 . The Ambulance Division which was formed at Ohai in the Invercargill District early in the year was not long in having presented to it an opportunity of proving its usefulness. In the colliery disaster which r ece ntly took place there the members rendered excellent service. They not only assisted the medical officer, who ·w as overwhelmed with work, but also took part in the rescue \york below ground, a ll of them being more or less gassed. At one time there " 'ere about twenty men laid out suffering from burns, shock, fractures and gas. The Doctor was kept busily employed administering relief, and although rushed, he and hi asslstants "ere always masters of the situation. The members of the Brigade also evacuated the worst cases to the Riverton Hospital, and finally took the bodies of those killed to their homes. It is pleasing to be able to report such splendid work of a unit which is practically still in its infancy. My thanks are due to the members of the Brigade staff in the various Districts for their continued support during the year.

A commendable feature on this occasion was the enthusiasm of the personneltwo Divisions having covered over 350 miles, and two other Divisions journeyed 200 miles in order to take part in the Review. As this muster of the Brigade was held during the day, a film of the Inspection was taken and the exhibition of this throughout the Union shou ld aid in furthering the interest in the work of the Order. The tribute paid by His Excellency was well merited, as many Divisions" carry on " in distant parts under trying circumstances, some members covering over 30 miles in all weathers to attend t.he weekly Divisional meetings. Ambulance Divisions in addit.ion to varied public duties do a considerable amount of invalid transport in outlying Districts; such a service is a boon to the community. Special mention must be made of the l\ursing Divisions who continually afford practical nursing assistance and advice, especially amongst the poorer sections. Through the courtesy of various hospitals, the members of our ursing Divisions are able to further their practical knowledge. Representatives of the Brigade from the various Districts in the Union and Rhodesia attended the Cent.ral Council :\Ieeting in Durban on 4th October, 1929. Simultaneously with the Central Council Annual :\Ieeting the Annual Competitions for the follo\\"lng t.rophies were held in Durban : elborne Shield (Ambulance Divisions). Hewat hield (Xursing Divisions). Lady Price Cup (Invahd Cookery). ompeting t.eams were representative of the various Provinces of the Union and included a team from Rhodcsia. Throughout the competitions a large gathering of interested members of the pu blic were present. Evcry endea ,"our is being made to increase the membership of the Brigade in RhocJesia. The DivislOns take a keen interest in the work and send a representative Ambulance t.eam to compete in the annual competitions, while members of the ursing 1>1\ IS10n are given facihties to attend the competitions in order to gain expencncc . hurch parade were held by the various Divisions throughout the country on S1.. ] oho's Day and \\"ere well attended. l.\Iany instances are on record of the splendid ,,"ork done by the Brigade under my command, and the ""ork of all sections is characteriz ed by a keenness and t.horoughncss that IS most praisc,,·orthy. I dcsire to placc on record my appreciation of, and thanks for the way in which the" ork is progrcssing among t all ranks throughout South Africa.

SOUTH AFRICA.-Dr. Bennie Rev,at, Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas within South Africa, reports : For the year under review my Itinerary had to be altered, and instead of a continuous tour the Inspections ·were arranged as circumstances would permit so that the time occupied and the distance covered was even greater than that of the previous year. In the outlying Districts such as );I"orthern Transvaal, Rhodesia, and South-\Vest Africa, I specially detailed senior officers to carry out the inspections, and their reports testify to the high standard of efficiency in these areas. A pleasing featu re of the Inspections was the interest taken by the local residents, the Mayor, leading citizens and many members of the pubhc being present, and expressing appreciation of the ·work of the Brigade. The work of the Order, as carried out by the Brigade is becoming betier known thn:mghout this country, as is e:ridenced by ~he numerous and inc rea ing calls made on Its meJ?1bers. Th.at the serVIce rendered IS valued is borne out by many lette rs of appreclat10n r eceIved from the Senate, House of Assembly, Raihvays, Police, Sporting, and other bodies. Sir Edward Thornton, K.B.E., Director of Medical Services for the Union or his representative, attended the various inspections as the representative of the Department of the Defence of the Union. I would express my appreciation of the continued interest of the Department of Defence. The Fra~~~g privilege, ~he Ordnance faciliti es for obtaining uniform for our Ambulance DIVls1Ons, conceSS1On fares for members travelling in uniform, and obtaining Association and Brigade material" Duty Free" greatly assist in furthering the work of the Order. His Excellency the Governor-General, the Earl of Athlone, and H.R.H. Princess Alice, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, inspected some 350 members of the Ambulance and Tursing Divisions of the Brigade in the Peninsula at a Review held in the Drill H~ll, Cape Town, on 16th A~gust, 1~29 . At the conclusion of the Inspection H~s Excellency, afte~ presentmg SerVlce Medals, addressed the Parade and paid tnbute to the fine .SPI:It of those who, after worki~g all day, were yet willing to devote part of theIr tIme to Ambulance work. HIS Excellency said that both he and Princess Alice were very pleased to meet so many members, as they had personally noted the work of the Brigade on many public occasions. A subsequent Review was held on the Wanderers Ground in Johannesburg in November, when His Excellency and Princess Alice inspected 300 members of the Brigade. His Excellency congratulated those present on the excellent Parade and thanked them for giving up so much of their spare time to make themselves efficient.

" 'EST USTR"\'LL\..-Dr. R. G. Tymms, Commissioner for the West Au tralia Di trict, reports : Thc cnt.husiasm in the work of the Brigades has been well sustained during the period under reVlew and the strength of the Divisions maintained. A ne,," l\ursing Divis10n was formed at Fremantle on the 15th l\Iarch with a strengt.h of 31, inclusive of the Divi ional Surgeon. This Division has been very active, havlllg ample scope for its members. Contrary to expectation the Goldfields Boy Scouts Division has not progressed, havin g remained practically dormant from its registration. The Goldfields Nursing Division has shared a simila r fate due to the migration of its Lady Superintendent and several of the members . I am hopeful of r eviving both these Divisions when I have the opportunity of visiting Kalgoorlie, four hundred miles di tant from Perth.
