REPORT OF TH E CHAPTER=GE NERAL FOR TH E YEAR 19 3 2. THE CHAPTER-GEl ERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associat.e its Report for the year 1932. AN

AL SER ICE A D GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The nnual Fe tival of the Order was held on St. John the Baptist's Day in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell. Holy ommunion was celebrated in the Chapel of St. John the Almon r, in the ancient crypt, by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival, c.Y.a., a haplain of the Order, at 8 a.m. The Annual ommemoration ervice was held at 2.30 p.m., H.R.H. The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General, headed by the Choir of His Maje ty's hap Is Royal and the lergy, walking in proces ion from the Chancery at t. John's Gate to the Church. The service was conducted by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. \V. H. Hornby teer, a Chaplain of the Order. Before the service began the following Knights of Justice were received b 7 H.R.II. The Grand Prior, in accordance with ancient custom : Lieut.-Col. The Lord Cottesloe, C.B., V.D., T.D. Lieut.-Col. The Lord Forester. Hugh Murray Ingledew, Esq. The Earl of Plymouth, P.C. Erne t Arthur Ebblewhite, Esq. The Annual General Assembly of Members and Associates of the Order was held after the service in the Chapter Hall, at t. John's Gate, H.R.H. The Grand Prior presiding. Report on the work of the various departments of the Order during the year were made by the Secretary-General, the Director of Ambulance, the Hospitaller, the Librarian, and the Chief Commissioners of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home and Overseas. His Royal Highne s The Grand Prior then addressed the assembly. His Royal Highness said : " Since we la t met I have appointed a new Director of Ceremonies in Lord Shaftesbury, who is a past high official of the Order, and who has replaced Captain eton Christopher, who desired to be relieved of that appointment. " The reports to which we have just listened show that, in spite of the general depression common to all countries, the work of the Order is steadily progressing in all its various forms of activity, both at Home and Overseas. " The acquisition of the complete block of buildings adjoining the Gate

Units in New Zealand during the recent disturbances in Auckland, and of similar assi tance given by the Brigade during the recent riots in Bombay. " It now only remains for me to thank the Reverend Hornby Steer for having preached to us to-day, and the Officiating Chaplain for arranging the ervice." Iajor- reneral The Earl of carbrough, the Sub-Prior, said : "Your Royal Highness and confreres, the actual business of our ssembly is now closed, and I must not further prolong these proceedings. The full st.ory of the year's work has been told to you, but I should like on behalf of all present to express to His Royal Highness our appreciation of t.he favourable comments which he has been good enough to make on the work of the year, both of the Order and of its ancillaries . Last year the embly took place in strange surroundings in the Great School of \Ve tmin ter, and, as you will remember, we were in the middle of our Centenary celebration, \vhich, thanks to His Royal Highness's leadership and inspiration, went exceedingly well. I know of only one cause for regret in connect.ion \",ith the e celebrations, that our Secretary-General at. t.he v ry la t moment was struck down by sudden illness, and was therefore unable to realize the fruit of his hard preparatory work, which had be n so admirably planned. I want to assure him that the sympathy of all of u went out to him in his misfortune. It was a real misfortune, not only for him but for u. And now, Sir, I have to ask the members pre ent t.o join with me in according to you our most grateful thanks for having once more con ented and been able to preside over our Annual A sembly, and at the same time to offer, on behalf of all members of the Order, our humble and loyal devotion to our Grand Prior." The vot.e of thanks was carried with acclamation.

Thi ~ew film illustrates the Centenary Celebrations, and will be of great mterest to our members and their friends at Home and Over ea . "The Hospital Report has been circulated to member ' and I will ' therefore only refer to it shortly. . "The constructio? of the subway between the Ho pital and Annexe IS completed, and WIll prove a great convenience to the Ho pital taft. " A child's cot has been endowed by ir. Gordon. " It is with very great regret that we heard of the attack made on the \Varden and Mrs. Strathearn, by robbers on the Jericho oad. D~., Strathea:n ;wa.s rough~y treated, .an~ the whole party were robbed. The Ladles I:men Guild has agam gIve.n valuable help to the Hospital by the presentahon of twelve metal bedSIde lockers and other lIo piLal equipment of a useful nature. " Her Majesty The Queen has presented to the Ladie ' Linen Guild for use in the Hospital, cot coverlets worked by her own hand. ' . "The .Report of the Direc~or of ~mbulance again how a steady mcrease m the number of certificates Issued, and a furt.her extension of the teaching of First ~id and. Home Nursing throughout the Briti h Realm.. !he most n~tIceable IS a scheme for teaching First Aid to the BntIs.h and IndIan soldiers, introduced by the Gen ral Officer Commandmg the Lucknow District in India. " The Brigade at Home has now. reached a strength of over 56,000 men and women, and 7,5?0 boy and gIrl cad~ts, and records the treating of 386,283 cases of aCCIdents and ~udden Illness. Its pre ent strength is ~qual t.o the demands made on It, but calls for its services are steadily mcreasmg. I feel confident that they will be met. "The Divisions of the Brigade operate 216 motor-ambulances and hav.e ~ransport~d 8~,586 patients during the past twelve month.' The ra~,Id m~rease m thIS phase of its work is most gratifying. ~t gIves me much pleasure to note a further development in the Road SerVIce Scheme, under which 688 First Aid Posts were established last y~ar, and 11,859 cases of accident were treated. I cannot commend too hIghly .those who undertake this work, at the sacrifice of their leisure hours, m the service for others. " I a~ glad to hear of the contin~ed support given by the Municipal Autho~ItI~s to the work of the Bngade. It is an indication of the aPRreciatIOn of tha~ work by. the community. I have learnt ~Ith much mterest of. the recent ac~ivities of the Brigade Overseas, a~d partIcularly of the part It has played m three distant parts of the EmpIre.

LIFE-SAVING AWARD. A Certificate of Honour for gallantry in saving life on land has been awarded by Chapter-General to : Charle Christopher Clarkson, Bus Driver, who endangered his own life in the following circumstances : At 11 .30 a.m. on 5th i\Iarch, 1932, Leonard Heslop, farmer, aged 20, was attacked by a bull in a field at Howe Hill Farm, Leyburn. Heslop fought with the bull for half an hour, holding on to the ring in its nose. As he was nearing a state of collapse Charles Christopher Clarkson, a bus driver, was driving his bus along the roael and saw the struggle going on. He backed his vehicle into a gateway, dismounted, and attacked the bull with a broken pitchfork. Heslop's dog had been killed by the bull early in the encounter. The diversion caused by Clarkson enabled Heslop to enter the bus. Clarkson succeeded in reaching the bus and driving away.

LIBRARY AND MUSEUM. Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, reports as follows : The addition made to the Order's Library and Museum during the pa t y ar have been of unusual importance. lost important of all is the recovery of the ancient Altar-piece of the Priory Church, which 118 of it. m mbers have combined to purchase and present to the Order. This altar-piece in the form of a painted Triptych was presented to t.he Prior T hurch at lerkenwell about the year 1480 by Fr. John \Veston, rand I rior of England from 1476- 1489, and was doubtless removed when the hurch wa dismantled in 1540 on the suppression of the Order by King Henry VIII. The fate of the beautiful altar-piece is wrapped in ob curit. ,but. the two ide-panels of the Triptych were long preserved at. ~1ilt.on Abb y in Dor et hire and, when last year the owner sold its content.s, the opportunity was presented to the Order of recovering po e ion of on of its long lost treasures. The whereabouts of the cent.re portion of the Triptych are at present unknown. The two side-panels mea ure 46 inches by 1 8~ inches each and, when closed over the central design, reveal paintings of the Holy Trinity and t. John Bapti t . \Vhen opened we see on the left-hand panel the scene of the Pre entation of the Ble ed Virgin Mary, and on the right-hand panel the ccne of the Presentation of the Infant Saviour in the Temple. These painting belong to the Flemi h School of the later fifteenth century, and are by a follower of Roger Van der \iVeyden. At the top of the lefthand panel are the words (( Syr J ohn \ iV eston Prior of ... ", the remainder of the sentence being continued on the missing central portion. At the top of the right-hand panel are two shields, one bearing his coat-of-arms, and the other his badge, a cabled anchor, the same badge as appears on his seal. These panels were found to be in need of a certain amount of restoration, which wa carried out under the supervision of Professor W. G. Constable, an Officer of the Order, and they have now been placed, where they originally stood 450 years ago, over the Altar in the Priory Church. An interesting addition to the Order's collection of objects of historic interest are the three tattered flags now hanging in the Chapter Hall. They are as follows :(1) A large red silk flag, 9 feet by 9, bearing the Arms of the Order, surmounted by the Sovereign Crown, and displayed over two crossed anchors. It is presumably the naval flag of the Order.

LIBRARY A D MUSEUM.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL (2) A large red silk flag, 9 feet by 9, bearing the Arms of the Order, and those of the Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan, on two shields, accollee.

(3) A painted silk flag, 3 feet by 3, bearing a shield of arm "Gules, a lion rampant crowned or, in the dexter paw a sword, and in the inister paw a bunch of arrows": dexter supporter a lion rampant crowned or: the whole surrounded by a wreath of branche and flowers. Supposed to be the flag of a captain of a galley. These flags were taken by the French when Napol on Bonaparte captured Malta on 12th June, 1798. They were sent to France with other plunder on board the frigate La Sensible. During the night of 26th June the British frigate eahorse sighted La en sible off icily, and ha ing cha ed her all night came up with her at 4 a.m. on th 27th, and aft. r a close action lasting 8 minutes, compelled h r to haul down her colour. She was brought to London, and the plunder on board her r mO\'ed to the Tower. These flags have been entrusted to the Order on permanent loan by Major C. J. ffoulkes, O.B.E., Curator of the Tower Armourie , and an Officer of the Order. They were in a very ruinou condition, and wer repaired by the Royal School of rt eedlework at the co t 01 Captain L. F. C. Maclean, O.B.E., an Officer of the Order. The past year has seen the issue of three publication of con iderable interest to the Order. Firstly," Hi torical Pamphlet To. 6 ", ntilled The Thirteenth Century Statutes of the Knights Hospitallers, printed for private circulation by the direction of the Library Committee. It is a continuation of last year's pamphlet, dealing with the earlier tatute, and contains a translation into English, together with an introduction and notes by the Librarian, of the Statutes of the fa ters Hugh Re\Tel, Nicholas Ie Lorgne, John de Villiers, and Odo des Pin, covering the period 1258-1296. They deal mainly with que tion of di cipline and administration. Copies can be obtained on application to the A istant Librarian at St. John's Gate. The second publication is the Registrum de KilmaiJlham, being the Register of Chapter Acts of the Hospital of t. John of Jerusalem in Ireland between 1326 and 1339, edited from the Bodleian M . Rawl. 501 by Charles McNeill, for the Coimisiun Laimhscribhinni na hEireann (Irish Manuscripts Commission). It throws most welcome light upon the history of the Grand Priory of Ireland, and is published by the Dublin Stationery Office, price five shillings. The third publication is a truly magnificent work, well written, very complete, and beautifully illustrated, on the Order of St. John in Belgium by G. Dansaert. It is entitled L' Histoire de L'Ordre Souverain et M ilitaire de St. Jean de Jerusalem, dit de Rhodes ou de M alte. Published by the Libraire N ationale d'Art et d'Histoire in Brussels and Paris. Price 400 francs. In accordance with the custom of those British Orders of Chivalry in possession of Churches or Chapels of their own, the Banners of the Bailiffs Grand Cross of the Order are being hung in the Priory Church on each side of the main aisle, suspended from the gallery. The following banners are already in position, namely those of: H.M. the King, H.R.H. the Grand Prior, the Sub-Prior, the Chancellor, the Bailiff of Egle,

Cont.

Major-General the Earl of Athlone, and Sir James Clarke. The banners of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Duke of Portland are nearing completion, and will be in position shortly. The banners of the eighteen Bailiffs Grand ross will add greatly to the beauty and dignity of the Priory Church. During the past year a stone tablet, descriptive of the history of t. John's Gate, has been fixed inside the archway above the entrance door to the Library. This tablet is the gift of Mrs. Man Stuart, Dame of Grace of the Order. It bears the following inscription : ST.

OF TI-IIS GATEHOUSE IN 1873. In July the Library Committee had the pleasure of entertaining to tea in th hapt r Hall representatives of the British Medical Association, afterwards howing them over t. John's Gate and the Priory Church. Be ides the" Triptych", the more important purchases for the Order's Libraryand Iuseum have been as follows : (1) Two large pharmacy jars from Malta, early eighteenth century. Purcha d at the ale at Milton Abbey. (2) Four of the very rare copper coins of the Grand Master Philip de 1'1 Ie Adam (1521-1534) (one of these is stated to be "unique" in Schembri's work on the Coins and ]VI edals of the Knights of AI alta). (3) A pharmacy jar from the Hospital at Malta, bearing the Arm of the Grand Master nthony lanoel de Vilhena (1722-1736). As in past years, the Library Committee has to report the receipt of many generous gifts from members of the Order. Amongst these the more important are : (1) The gold medal struck by the Grand Master Hugh de Loubenx Verdala in 1587 to commemorate his elevation to the dignity of Cardinal by Pope Sixtus V. The appointment was made in the hope of " di peUing the clouds" of discontent and turbulence, which had gathered around the Grand Master and the Order at this period. The medal has on the c

(2) Two large pharmacy jars from Malta, 1- inches high, b_ ~ring the arms respectively of the Grand Master John de la Vallette (1;).7- 156 ), and either Raphael or icholas Cotone.r (1660- 16 0). The Jar .were probably made in the early half of the eIghteenth century. The gIft of Captain L. F. C. laclean, Officer of the Order. (3) A selection of small articles of sil\Ter connected with the Order, including: a vinaigrette bearing the hall-marks of the Grand laster Mark Anthony Zondadari (1720-2); an inkpot, bearing the hall-ma~k of the Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan (1775-1797) ; a gold finger rmg of the seventeenth century, and two gold buckle, all bearing the eightpointed cross of the Order. The gift of l\1r . Orman, Officer of the rder. (4) Three tithe exemption marks from Leeds, all ut out of heet lead, two in the form of a double cros patee, formerly upon the wall ?f No. 101 Templar Street, Leeds; the third ~a the .form of an. h r~ld:c mill-rind, with traces of gilding, having an elght-poll1ted cros 111 gIlt 111 the centre, formerly upon the wall of No. 91 Templar treet, it mea ur.e 23t inches by 17 inches, the other two being somewhat mall r. The gIft of the executors of the late Sir Charles V/il on. Amongst the many valuable privilege conferred ~pon the II? pitallers by the Popes was exemption from the payment ?f bthe , and It :va. the custom to place crosses upon propertie belongmg to them to mdIcate that they were so exempt. After the suppression of the Religio.u Orders, the exemption from tithe of properties previously exempt conbm~ed, and it was necessary therefore to maintain these cros e. Dunng the seventeenth century, and no doubt later, cases ~r~ to be fo.und. of the Lords of Manors summoning their tenants for faIlmg to mamtam such crosses upon their holdings. Templar Street in Leeds .was so called from its containing property belonging to the Templars, whIch was transferred to the Hospitallers on the suppression of the former Order in 1312. The list of donors to the Library and Museum during the year, to whom the thanks of Chapter-General have been conveyed, is a~ follow~: Mrs. Bates, Lieut.-Colonel. F. A. Brooks, Mr. E. A.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER. ST. JOH

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JER

ALEi\1.

The following is extracted from the Forty-first Annual Report of the Committee :The Committee regrets to have to report the passing of Fi ld-Mar hal Viscount Plumer, who was appointed a member of the Committee on his return from Palestine on completion of his term as High Commissioner in 1928. He always took the keenest interest in the Hospital, and never lost an opportunity of taking his guests-official as well as privateto visit the St. J ohn Ophthalmic Hospital, and his enthusiasm for the work of the Order led to more than one substantial financial gift from friends who caught something of his fire during the inspection of the Hospital under his guidance. H.R.H. the Grand Prior has appointed Sir John Chancellor, G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O., D.S.O., late High Commissioner for Palestine and Trans-Jordan, a Knight of Grace of the Order, to be a member of the Committee. The work accomplished by the Hospital Staff shows a great increase

Cont.

on that of last year when absence and illness of the surgeons affected the total. The Committee is glad to be able to report that the Sub-Warden, Dr. Norman Manson, accepted its invitation to extend his agreement for another year, and take this opportunity of congratulating him on his marriage, which took place in June. Dr. K. J. O'Day, who was appointed Registrar at .the en.d of 1 9~0, has re igned his office and returned to AustralIa. MISS Munel Hamilton, M.B., who occupied the post from 1927 to 1929, has bee.n reappoint d, and took up her work again in October last. .For theIr voluntary help given in the Hospital the Committee expresses ItS hearty thanks to Dr. CUrs.) Owen Pigott and Dr. Khalil Buderi. The subway between the Hospital and the Annexe has been completed, and has proved the boon it promised to be. A sum of over £600 has been spent on improvements in the "Varden's Lodge, giving an enlarged dining-room and an additional b.edroom and dre ing-room with bath. This expenditur~ is rr:uch apprecIated ~y ~he Warden and Mrs. Strathearn, who will find It eaSIer to extend hospItality to m mb r of the Order, and the ommittee al 0 feel that the dignity of the \\ arden's position in Jerusalem warranted this provision of better accommodation. Owing to the unsettled state of Palestine, as evidenced by certain crime of violence, it has been deemed wise to fit iron grilles to certain of the windows in the Warden's Lodge and in the caretaker's fiat in the Anncxc. The \\'ard n r port a greater carcity of water than ever. From July to September water was only available for a short period every sixth day and the outlook for 1933 is most serious. The cost has, however, fallen from £101 5s. in 1931 to £79 12s. for 1932. No further steps have been taken, for financial reasons, in the matter of the erection of the South Block for paying patients. The balance left in the Hospital Restoration Fund is £1,627 19s. 9d. The Income and Expenditure Account shows that the cost to the Order of maintaining the Hospital for the financial year ended 30th eptember, 1931, was £3,975 19s. 9d. The comparable cost for the three previous year has been: 1929, £3,535; 1930, £3,612; 1931, £3,584. On the other hand, the actual expenditure last year was £5,529 14s. 3d. as against £5,269 15s. 4d. for 1931, the increase of £260 being almost entirely due to salaries. In pite of the world-wide financial unstable equilibrium, Honorary Treasurer in Jerusalem, Lady Watson, is proud to remit £305, only £1 3s. 9d . less than the previou year-a remarkable achievement under the circumstances. For twelve succe ive years he has now proved a model and progressive Treasurer and an indefatigible worker in the Hospital as well, where she presides over the Linen Room. The Committee can only add a twelfth and cumulative vote of thanks to her in addition to the equally sincere eleven that have preceded. To Mr. J. Horne Stevenson, the Hon. Secretary for Scotland, the Committee is indebted for his untiring enthusiasm in collecting funds for the Hospital in Scotland. Brigadier J. G. Browne, C.M.G., C.B.E., D.S.O ., Commandant of the Iraq Levies, a Knight of Grace of the Order, visited the Hospital on his

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

journey home from Iraq in March, and wrote a report to the Committee from which the following are extracts :" The out-patients who come to the Annexe for attention, running as I was told in the summer to 700 cases a day, can camp in the shaded courtyard and come up as their turn comes. Dea~ng with 700 patients a day, many being children, is a very great stram on the Staff there, and though Lieut.-Colonel Strathearn did not actually say so, I should imagine that day after day of such work in the summer must try them very hard. He told me one point which is quite understandable- that when dealing with successive cases of children, the child being dealt with is probably yelling for all it is worth, the one just operated on also, and all those just coming up are crying in sympathy or anticipation, and that it is quite impos ible to make oneself heard, and he and the nurses work by signs. It does not require much imagination to realize what a few hours of this would make one feel like. And this goes on continuously for weeks. " To show how well known the place is, an old Arab arrived when I was there, having walked in from Haditheh on the yrian-Iraq border. He expected immediate attention, but the \Varden said that he must take his turn. They are very particular about this, and the reason is obvious. " . . . One difficulty they have is water, the great difficulty always at Jerusalem. There is a particular shortage this year. I don't see how that can be got over until the water supply all through becomes better. " . . . I was interested to see that they have the oil stoves for cooking. I am in favour of these from their cleanliness and complete absence of smell. In a land where there are often strong wind , the ordinary fire must scatter ash or coal dust (if used) about, and in the case of a hospital of this kind, that is a thing to be avoided. In a sparsely wooded country, too, like Palestine, the oil stove is probably more economical. " . . . In conclusion, I can only say that the Order requires no finer monument than the work that is being done at Jerusalem." Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon has endowed a cot in the Hospital, to be known as the " Douglas McKenzie Gordon" cot, and a mural tablet has been placed recording the fact, and the generous donor has received the Committee's sincere thanks for her gift . The donation of £52 lOs. by the Great Priory for England and Wales for a special piece of equipment, referred to in the last Report, has be~n expended on the purchase of a Scialytic Light for the operation table m the O.P. Department, and it has been adapted for removal, if necessary, to any other position in the Hospital. Mr. E. F. Fincham has presented for use in the Hospital an Ophthalmoscope of his own design, which has proved a valuable addition to our equipment. Mr. Fellowes-Farrow, whose cinema film of the Hospital was referred to in last year's Report, has presented it to the Order. It is of 16 mm. type and runs to about 200 feet, and will make a useful prologue or epilogue to any lecture on the history or activities of the Order. Sir Herbert Samuelson has given two Electro-lux outfits (with sprayer) for use in the Hospital. These should prove a great boon and a saving of labour.

The girls of the Tenison School, Croydon, offered through Mrs. O. Ruffalls to work shades and scarves for the Hospital. This offer was gratefully accepted, and there is promise of further he~p in the fut~e. The unday chool children of t. George's are p~ymg a spe~lal table for the Potter-Bucky Diaphragm. The CommIttee, m expressmg thanks for the gift, welcomes thi~ eviden~e of in~erest in ~he work of the Hospital by the younger generatIOn growmg up m Palestme. Viscountess St. Cyres has given old linen, and Mrs. S. Flagg (of Bryn Mawr, U.S.A.) $100 for any purpose, practical or artistic, for the benefit of the Hospital. . ' The Committee's appeal for books for the Staff LIbrary has resulted m generous gifts from the following, to whom thanks have already been expressed: Mrs. Holbein Hendley, Mr. Wilson, Mr. E. ~ottinger, the Harrogate Church Institute (through Colonel C. H. Milb.urn, O.B.E., o. T.].)' 1\1r. J. B. Kidson, the Rev. C. Perowne, Mr. Kenchmgton.' and the \\'ycliffe College Troop of Boy Scouts at Stonehous~ .. The LIbrary ha now orne 300 volume and till ha empty shelves waItIng to be filled. It was with deep regret that the Committee learned of the passing of Mr . Hendley in her 99th year. he was the widow of a former Honorary ecretary,olonel T. H Hendley, C.LE., and always took the kee:r:est int re t in the work of the Hospital, and was the foundress of the HospItal taff Library. The Ladies' Linen Guild has maintained its beneficent role during the past year. The Hospital is the richer by twelve more me~al bed~ide lockers, which are so much appreciated by the Warden for theIr practIcal use and by all visitors for their handsome appearance. Therr o.ther activitie are fully et out in their own Report. The ~ommltt~e is very sensible of the support the Guild .gives to the Ho~pltal ~n~ IS glad to express its deep appreciation of all It ~as done and IS contmumg to do to improve the equipment of the HospItal. . Chapter-General, to compensate in some small degree ~he "Vlard~n ~or hIS loss when robbed on the Jericho road, and to show ItS appreCIatIOn of his services, voted him a gold watch on which was engraved a suitable . inscription and the arms of the Order. An appeal to Chapter-General for assistance in the case of certam Russian nuns who were in desperate straits for some of the more common drugs was answered by a vote of £20 for the necessary purchase which was entrusted to the Hospital Committee. The .Russian Archbish.op sent. a priest, who called to express to the Warden hIS thanks for the tImely ald. The new Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem, Dr. .Graham Bro~n, has been appointed a Sub-Prelate of the Order ex-offic?'o . He was m J~rusalem during the riots in 1929, and had to take refuge under the HospItal walls to avoid the bullets that were flying about. He expresses the greatest admiration for the work of the Ophthalmic Hospital. The Government of Palestine has, for some time past, been seriously concerned at the enormous prevalence of " blindness" in the country. Indeed Palestine has the highes t percentage of "blindness" of any civilized country in the world. "Blindness," it may be added, is inability to count fingers at a distance of one metre-not a very high standard. Repeated reference to the unsatisfactory conditions existing has been made by the Warden in his annual Reports, and last year he went at

some length into the matter. In spite of the other calls on his time and .energy, he found opportunity last ummer to spend many days makmg an ophthalmic survey of the blindness" in the worst villages of the Plains. This survey has been carried out at the request of the Superintendent of Census and with the active co-operation of the Department ' of Public Health who have supplied the tents and the s~bordinat~ staff. The \Varden drew up an exhaustive Report containing hIS deductIOns and suggestions for dealing with the situation, which he presented to the High Commissioner. Broadly speaking the Report which the Government has practically adopted proposes the opening of additional clinics in Palestine and the equipping of a travelling motor unit under a special medical officer, and finally the establishment of a village school" where voluntary teachers under the direction of an English lady, also in an honorary capacity, should train Palestinian girls to go out into the villages and teach the Fellahin the elementary rules of First Aid, Hygiene, Home Nursing, and Sanitation with the ultimate object, of course, of stamping out preventible blindness in Palestine. The Government agrees to undertake the two first proposals and has invited the Order of St. John to be responsible for the third-or choolproposal and thus take its part in the campaign to lessen the ravages of eye-disease in Palestine and ameliorate the condition of the Fellahin. The Committee closes this Report with a feeling that the 'ear under review has been one of progress, and that in the hands of the Warden assisted by his Staff, the work of the Order has been maintained at the high level which the Hospital Committee and Chapter-General have learned to expect. The Committee ha once again the pleasure of conveying to Colonel Strathearn and all those who are working with him under the flag of the Order, Surgeons, Sisters, Nurses, and dome tic taff, its heartfelt thanks for their untiring efforts to maintain the usefulness, the dignity and the prestige of the Order which they are proud to serve.

Cont.

The decrease of 5,153 is partly due to the fact that the instruction of serving Officers of the Metropolitan Police Force in first aid was practically completed last year, and, in consequence, the number of certificate i sued to members of that body during the year fell by 3,000 ; while the number of certificates i sued to recruits joining the Force also fell by 550. In addition, the number of drivers and conductors of public vehicles and the numb r of per ons engaged in the coal mining industry learning first aid have dropped ince the impetus given in 1931 and 1930 re pectively, by the introduction of new regulations by the ~1ini try of Tran port and the Board of Trade. The e factor and the general depression through which the country is pa ing explain the decrea e in the number of certificates but there is again an increase in the number of medallions, label, and pendants i ued during the year, which indicates that there is no falling off in the inter t and efficiency of fir t aider. The figures are as follows : -

\Vhich, it will be observed, is nearly double that of certificates issued. It should not, however, be inferred that 50 per cent of those who are examined fail for a certificate, for in actual fact the percentage is about 8 or 9; rather does it signify that first aiders maintain their interest and efficiency and provide them elves with new editions at each revision of the textbook. Conversations have taken place with the Metropolitan Police Authorities concerning the continuation of Fir t Aid Refresher" courses for the Force, and the Home Office has approved of the permanent institution of such courses periodically. D~ cussio~s have also t~kel: place with the Board of Trade concerning ~he m tru.ctIOn and exammatIOn of members of H.M.

Reports so far received from Ove~seas Centres indicat~ on. the whol, an increase in the number of certificates and re-exam111atIon award during the year, a very satisfactory position con~idering that Oversea Centres are not unaffected by the general depres lOn. Once more Hong Kong has been able to prove it value t.o the community in times of serious emerge~cy . It not only ?esP<l:tched a l~rge contingent of members of the Bngade to hangha? durmg the ~o Japanese dispute in 1arch, but the Centre also furnIshed lar~e uP12 h of medical equipment and comforts for the use of the woun.ded ~n.ho pital. The presence in Londor: of the C:over~or of .lIonl?!

Similarly. the Governors of Bnt~ h Guiana, Sir Edward Denham, and of Bermuda, SIr Thomas tley. ubItt, where progress is also most mar~ed, were goo~ e~ou~h to .find hme to discuss with the Director the affaIrS of the AssocIatIon m theIr areas. The Association also had the advantage of discussing with Dr. I. J.

some of those engaged in industry have a wrong conception of first aid, which the Association i endeavouring to rectify. It appears that in some cases the casualty room which factories and work hop are required to provide has been placed under the charge of a first aider who has been expected to diagnose and treat ailments and injurie quite outside his scope.

ST JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE AT HO IE. Major-General Sir John Duncan, the Chief Commissioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my second Annual Report as Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade (at Home). STRENGTH.

During 1932 there has been a highly satisfactory increase in both the number of new Divisions and in the total personnel. This reflects the greatest credit on all ranks from the Commissioners down to the most junior members. For without energy and initiative in the superior ranks and keenness and efficiency in the junior ranks, such increases would be impossible. It is an eloquent testimony to the valuable work for the public which is being carried out by the Brigade. I am particularly glad to have to report that there has been a very large increase in the number of Cadets. The more we can get the youth

In , tlldying the report from the Commissioners, I have been ,·truck by the ever-increa ing ervice which is being rendered to the public by the self-sacrificing work of the members of the Brigade. :Many reports have been brought to my notice of units having been called up at all hours of the night to render assistance to injure~ per on ; this valuable help has always been rendered promptly and. YVlllmgly. Two recent ca es have been brought to my notice of life havmg b en saved by the prompt and efficient action of members of the Brigade. I will again content my elf with quoting the aggregate figures of work performed by the various Districts and Countie , as the Commissioners' reports fully describe the valuable services rendered by members of the Brigade under their re pective commands. n analysis of the returns show that 460,253 cases of accident and udden illness are recorded as having been attended to by members of the Brigade during 1932, compared with 386,283 cases treated in 1931. This large increase in the number of cases dealt with is a wonderful testimony to the value of the work which is being carried out by members of the Brigade for the public. The demands on the Brigade appear to be constantly increasing; this throws a greater strain on the units, which can only be met by increased members and efficiency. I have already shown that our members have increased, and I believe that, generally, the efficiency is also steadily advancing. !~ere were 25,279 attendances of one hour or more at Civil Hospitals, Clmlcs, and Welfare Centres, undertaken by members of Nursing Divisions

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

compared with 13,095 in 1931. This valuable work carried out by the Nursing Divi ions is fully dealt with in the comprehensive report by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, for who e whole-hearted support and devotion to duty I am greatly indebted. The very large number of inspections which she has carried out, and the per onal interest he ha taken in so many divisions has undoubtedly had the effect of increa ing their efficiency and zeal for their work. INVALID MOTOR AMBULANCE TRA TSPORT.

247 Motor Ambulances are operated by Corps and Divi ion, compared with 216 in 1931. The e ambulance carried 74,613 patient, compared with 80,586 in 1931. The reported mileage i 7 3,788. The value of thi work in alleviating uffering must be very great . PUBLIC DUTY.

Notwithstanding the ever-increasing demand for the ervices of Brigade personnel, I am pleased to record that all application for assistance have been met. I quote some of the dutie which have been undertaken in a most efficient manner:-

o. 1 District.-Empire Day Celebrations in Hyde Park, Lord :JIa or' Day, Observation of Armi tice Day, Motor and Dog Track racing, Exhibitions, etc. The total individual duties being 96 ,02 ]\,TO. 2 District.-Royal Agricultural ociety's how at outhampton, involving day and night duty during July.

ROAD SERVICE.

The road patrol duty i being taken up with increasing enthusiasm in all parts of the country when thi work is needed. From reports I have received the number of patrols and the mileage cov red have greatly increased. Owing to the inevitable increase of road accident on account of the greater number of vehicles on the road, and their higher peed, thi duty will require even greater attention in the future. The eriou nature of the injuries when accidents occur require gr at kill in affording Fir t Aid, and from what I have heard I am ati fled that members of the Brigade fully realize their responsibilities in thi re pect, and are doing th ir utmost to meet them by increasing efficiency. From what I have heard their work in this direction has been gr atly commended. A I mentioned in my last report, this duty involves gr at acrifice, and it i carried out largely on holidays, and therefore tho. e who carry it out have to give up their own leisure hours for the purpo e . .I. TO fewer than 14,136 road accidents were treated by Brigade personnel, and th figure to hand show that motor ambulances travelled 53,501 mil . conveying tho e injured to ho pital, or to their homes. This compares with 11 , '-0 road accident in 1931. Throughout the country there are 1,021 Fir t Aid Po ts in charge of nit of the Brigade. Thi compares with 688 in 1931, and 550 in 1930. It will therefore be seen that the members of the Brigade are nobly me ting thi new demand on their ervices.

OF TIlE CIVIL POPULATION AGAINST GAS ATTACKS.

During the year a scheme was undertaken to train the personnel of o. 1 (Prince of 'Vale's) District for the protection of the civil population in London again t gas attacks. Two courses of instruction for officers and enior N .. O.s were held with the assistance of Military officers at Knightsbridge Barracks, and were attended by 33 Officers and 7 N .. O.s with the idea of rendering them capable of acting as instructors. An advanced course was also held at the Anti-Gas School on alisbury Plain, which was attended by 10 Officers. These Officers subsequently acted as instructors to the Divi ions in London, and a large number of members were trained in the work of dealing with First Aid to gas casualties. These courses are being continued, and by the end of 1933 a large proportion of the members in London will have received training in this subject. I hope, subsequently, to extend the training to the provinces. INSPECTIONS.

During the year I inspected units of the Brigade at Birmingham, Leicester, Hull, and Henley.

In connection with in pections held, the Inspecting Medical Officer states: "The attendance was good, 89 per cent of the total strength concerned w re present. The reservi ts excused attendance were unable to be released from their employment. The men paraded smartly, their Naval badges and medal being correctly worn in all cases. I formed the opinion that these Units were efficient ." In conclu ion of his report the Inspecting Medical Officer tates to the Medical Director-General that "I have to report that the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve is up to strength and ready for immediate service".

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

ACCOUNTS. I have carefully studied the accounts submitted by the various Corps and Divisions, I can only repeat my remarks in my la t report that I have been greatly struck by the strenuous efforts which have been made to raise locally the considerable amount of money required to carry out the work of the Brigade. The large amount collected in these hard time is a proof of the appreciation of the public of the valuable work which is being carried out in their interests. In almost all ca e the Corp and Divisions have lived within their means, and have been able to how a credit balance. 1.1 NICIPAL SUPPORT. I am glad to be able to report that the work of the Brigade in mo t di tricts has been well recognized by the Municipal Authoritie , Chief Constables, and other local authorities. Their upport i of great valuc, and does much to bring the value of the work before the public. I also would like to thank the Press for the help it has given in making known the work of the Brigade, and in many cases for its a si tance in rai ing funds to enable our members to carryon their service. OBITUARY. It is with great regret, and with real sympathy with the relative, that I have to report the death of Assistant Commi ioner J. Arlidge, o. 5 District. Dr. Arlidge during his long service rendered mo t valuable assistance to the Brigade in the County of Stafford hire. CO ' CLUSION. In conclusion I am pleased to say that In every direction the work of the Brigade has steadily advanced. In the past year of unexampled industrial depre ion it i highly satisfactory to be able to report increased numbers and greater ervice rendered. The efficiency of the Brigade is steadily advancing; this i in a great measure due to the valuable and un elfi h assistance afforded by -the Medical Profession, without which such progress would be impo ible. I must finally thank all members of the Brigade for their loyal and efficient support and for the exemplary manner in which they have carried out their arduous duties. This report largely deals with figures, but these figures are a wonderful testimony of the valuable work which is being carried out by the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the good of humanity.

It is with deep regret that I record the death of Dr. T . Storie Dixson , who died at Sydney on the 9th December, 1932. Dr. Storie Dixson, who was 79 years of age, had been in poor health for some time but he continued his work for the Order and its Departments right until the time of his death. He was Chief Commissioner for the Brigade within the Commonwealth (Western Australia excepted) and also Chairman of the Central Council for ustralia, and there is no doubt that by his death the Order of St. John has lost a keen and staunch supporter who did much to bring its work in Au tralia to its present high level. The Brigade in Australia has been faced with severe financial difficulties owing to the economic distres , and Divisions de erve great credit for the way in which they have carried on and fulfilled very call for public duty. I was very pleased to have the opportunity of meeting Dr. Dawkins (Assistant Commissioner in charge of the outh Australia District)

The work in Bermuda has been maintained during th y ar in spite of many difficulties. The members have done considerable public duty and on many occasion first aid has been efficiently rendered. HONG KONG.

The outstanding event of the year in Hong Kong wa the departure of a party of 82 members of the Brigade Overseas who had volunteered for service at Shanghai during the disturbances arising out of the inoJapanese Dispute. The party left Hong Kong on the 2nd ill arch taking with them medical equipment and a motor ambulance and on arrival in Shanghai were allocated to a temporary hospital in the Ciccawei University capable of accommodating 500 cases. The party of Brigade Overseas members were made responsible for the organization and staffing of this hospital, which they carried out during the greater part of their stay which lasted until the 27th April. During their time in Shanghai the party was visited by Mr. Sidney Brown, of the International Red Cross, Geneva, and he expressed his admiration for the smartness and general efficiency of the members. A very considerable number of casualties were treated most efficiently and the work performed by the members was very greatly appreciated and the Shanghai Citizens Association and other bodies presented the Hong Kong District with some silver trophies and each member with a souvenir. The trophies presented to the District have been sent to St. John' s Gate for exhibition. I need hardly point out how greatly I appreciate the fine spirit of service which has enabled the members of the Hong Kong District once again to respond to a call for exceptional service in a manner worthy of the best traditions of the Order. Mr. Morris, the Officer in charge of the District, deserves

the highest praise and I congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of Commissioner. I am also glad to be able to record that ChapterGeneral has agreed to present each member who rendered such signal service with a Badge to be worn in uniform. It i a matter for much regret that ill-health has compelled Mr. Ho Kom Tong to retir from the Chairmanship of the .Finance . om~ittee alt~ough I am glad to know that hi advice and assIstance WIll still b~ available for the benefit of the Hong Kong i trict. Mr. Ho has been of mvaluable assi tance not only to the work in Hong Kong but to other Departments of the rcl r both at Home and Overseas. INDIA.

I much r gr t to report that the retirement of Sir Henry Ioncrieff mith from India ha compelled hi resignation as hief Commissioner of the Brigade Ov r ea within the Empire of India. Sir Henry has been hi f ommis ioner for India since 1925, and his term of office has covered a period of great stre and anxiety during which the Brigade not only re pond cl to all calls mad upon it but considerably in.creased its acti~it.ies and str ngt.h. I heartily thank ir Henry for the great mterest and actIVIty 11 ha shown in the work of t.he Brigade Overseas in India. His successor l ' ir David Petrie and I cordially welcome his valuable co-operation in th control of the Brigade throughout the Empire of India. I al 0 regret that I have to record the retirement from India of jlr. Battye, Lady Di trict uperintendent, No. 1 District, India. 11r . BaH ye ha held thi offIce ince 1924 and has been of the greatest 11 lp in tlie development of the ursing Divi ions. In accorda.nce with the recommendation of the Chief Commissioner for India, Baluchi tan and the nited Provinces have been separated from the o. 1 District and the Divisions of the Brigade within these ar a will be admini tered direct from Indian Headquarters. I have also plea ure in reporting that in the o. 2 Di trict the Calcutta Poli~e orp ha been formed and will be a ource of trength to the work m thi Di trict. In the o. 3 District the year has been one of continued activity in the face of many difficulties owing to the re umption of the Civil Di obedience l\Iovement at the beginning of the year and the communal riots which broke out in May and lasted with only a short interval of peace until July. The members of the Brigade Overseas, however, came through this time of testing with great credit and in the many opportunities that came to them performed excellent service. The riot which broke out on the 14th May were worse than those experienced in 1929 and continued over a longer period. Through the period of the riots the members of the Brigade rendered first-aid to 455 persons, of whom 237 were removed to hospital after treatment, and, in addition, were responsible for the removal of 1,200 stranded persons from t?e dis~~~ed areas to safety. For the first time members of the Nur mg DIVISIOn turned out and performed duty on the first two days of the riots, but, although they were willing to continue, it was not considered safe to call upon them for further public duty. The Government of India has passed a resolution expressing it appreciation of the services performed by the Brigade.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

A happier event during the year wa the opening ceremony of the Headquarters Building of the Par i Division by His Excellency the Governor of Bombay, ir Frederick Sykes, on 9th April. Thi building (known as the Lady Willingdon Building) is the fir t Headquarters Building to be owned by a Divi ion of the Brigade in India and the members of the Division are to be congratulated upon the ucce ful completion of their efforts. After a lapse of two years it wa found po sible to hold the All-India Competitions at Lahore and many teams from the Brigade took part. A modified scheme for the enrolment of member of the Brigade in Voluntary Aid Detachments is awaiting official anction. KE~YA.

Iembers of the Kenya Police Divi ion tationed at ~Iomba a and Nairobi had the privilege of being in pected by the hancellor of the Order during his tour of Kenya. The member were very proud to have been inspected by Lt.-General Sir Aylmer Hunt.er-\Ve ton and much appreciated the pre ence of Lady Hunter-\Ve ton on both occa ion ' . Much valuable first-aid work has been done by member of thi Division, and many instances have come to hand where members have b en th means of saving life through their knowledge of fir t-aid when many miles from medical assistance. MALTA. I much regret to report the death at Malta of the Officer in charge of the District, Major \V. R. Gatt, M.B.E., whose death is a \' re 10 to the work of the Brigade in Malta where he had been in charge of the District since 1919. NEW ZEALA D. Under the admirable control of the Chief Commi ioner for ew Zealand, Lt.-Colonel G. Barclay, O.B.E., the work of the member in that Dominion has, as usual, been beyond all praise. The strength of the Brigade has increased and during the year 13 adult Divisions and 16 Cadet Divisions have been formed. This further increase in the Cadet Divisions now brings the total of Cadet Divisions to 51, and so rapidly has the Cadet movement progressed in New Zealand in the last two years that there are now nearly 1,000 Cadets within the Dominion. The outstanding public duty of the year in ew Zealand was performed at Auckland on the occasion of the riots which occurred on the 14th and 15th April. The riots broke out suddenly and were quite unexpected so that no previous arrangements for duty had been made, yet within a short time of the call for assistance being received over 100 members were on duty and on the first evening of the riots over 200 cases were treated within a short space of time. On the occasion of the second evening the members of the Brigade turned out on public duty in readiness; their services on both evenings were greatly appreciated by the public of Auckland. A letter received from His Excellency Lord Bledisloe, the Governor-

General of New Zealand, pays high tribute to the work of the Brigade Over eas in New Zealand both on special occasions and in many ways of public service. He says « their work during the calamitous earthquake of February, 1931, should be recorded in golden letters in the annals of the Order; it was magnificent". I am glad to know that Headquart~rs .Build~gs h~ve been procured in the \Vellington and hristchurch DIstncts whIch will be a great help to the ssociation and Brigade in tho e places.

GE ERAL. I would once again draw the attention of the Divisions. of the J?rigade Ov r ea to the ever-growing needs of the OphthalmIc HospItal at J eru alem. I appreciate the many donations. that have been received for tbi work of the Order from Overseas umts and trust that others may be able to help in this direction. That in a 'car of financial stre s members of the Brigade Overseas have given uch valuable and loyal humanitarian help to theu: fellow m n i 'w onderful; service given quite voluntarily, even at hm~s at a 11nanciallo which has set a high example. In many cases the Bngade Ov r ea i ' alled upon to work in extremes of climate such as are unknown in England; in other where pestil~nc~ and f~vers form an addit.ional danger. Their dutie vary from bmdmg up bItes caused by wild animal or wound from an arrow; or applymg the necessary and difficult treatment for nake-bite, to dealing with sunstroke and fro t.-bite of a eriou nature. During the year under survey many of it member have been called upon to treat and nurse serious wound occa ioned in the field of war; whilst others have rendered magnificent ervice in earthquake di aster ; riots .of a ~erious nature, railway accident in p rilous parts and other erVlces :vhIch have brou~ht safety and comfort to victims who would otherWise almost certamly have peri hed. . . In a report of this nature it i impo ible ~o convey ~y app~e~latIOn ' ufficiently to tho e who have so nobly sustamed the hIgh tra~lhons of the St. John mbulance Brigade in distant parts of the EmpIre; but I can at lea t assure them that their work has been appreciated by all at t.

To Chief Commissioners for Dominions I would gratefully express my thanks for their interest and activity during the year. I would also convey to Officers in charge of districts, Officers of other ranks, and all members of the rank and file my deep appreciation of their continued loyalty to the Order of St. John and t~eir self-sa~ri~cing services rendered to those in need and would ask ChIef CommISSIOners to see that my commendation is brought to their notice in orders.

DEPARTi\IENT.

As the stimulus of a grant from the Pilgrim Tru t for the e tablishm nt. of Cadet Units has been responsible not only for the revival of int.ere t in depres ed area but also for the formation of new Ambulance la e, reference will fir t be made to the Preliminary Clas e a a feature of primary importance in the year's work. During the tw lve month 2,957 juniors attended a cour e of instruction, a compared wit.h 1,705 in 1931. Another important aspect of the year' work i it achievement in relation to the problem of unemployment, which on the one hand ha, occasioned depletion in the normal strength, but on the other ha proved an opportunity for development. For, in connection with t.he n mplo . c1 Training Centres which have become common in the town and villages, courses in fir t aid have been introduced, and th Priory i giving a measure of financial help toward the formation of uch cla . . by providing the textbooks free of charge and ecuring t.he ervices of honorary lecturers. oal wner A step taken by the Monmouthshire and South ¥,Tale Association on the initiation of the Priory i likely t.o go a long "vay towards removing the old contention that the responsible ambulancemen in the mines should be not only in possession of a fir t aid c rtificate but also required to maintain efficiency by periodic re-examinat.ion. At its meeting in August, the Association decided to recommend owner to do everything possible to ensure that the men carrying the first aid boxes shall renew their qualification once in five years. \Vhile thi wa issued merely as an official recommendation, there is evidence that it i being adopted. In the South Wales Coalfield-probably as distinct from other coalfields-compliance with a legislative measure along these lines would involve the owner in little or no difficulty as there are very few mining districts without their Unit of the Brigade, or at least, Ambulance Classes. Following a series of meetings held by a special sub-committee, a Panel of Examiners has been drawn up with a view to maintaining a duly high standard of examination; and the services of many medical men who had given courses of lectures gratuitously over a period of ten years and more received long overdue recognition by appointment as Honorary Life Members of the Priory. The number of students who attended a course of instruction in first aid and home nursing in 1932 was 16,179 and 1,317 respectively-or, 1,984 more than the total number of students who presented themselves for examination or re-examination in 1931. Once again the past year's figures maintain the unbroken sequence of increased numbers which has been observable in each subsequent report.

R eference was made in last year's report to the allocation of a grant of £2,000 by t.he Pilgrim Trustees towards the forrr:at~on and equipment of adet Divi ions; and it is even more grahfymg to record the encouraging influence tbi generou benefaction has exerted over Brigade work generally in \Yale . The grant which was received in quarterly instalment and di bursed conditionally on the raising of one-third of t.he amount required in the locality, was expended by the end of the y ar, whi1 claims for participation were still coming in. The Cadet ~ lr ngth increased during the year by 638 boys and 218 girls, after cl ducling 64- the number of Cadets who pa sed into the Senior Divisions during t.he 'ear; while no Ie s than 1,164 boys, 319 girls, and 50 Cadet Offic r were equipped with uniform by the aid of the two-thirds grant . The imp tu created by this welcome measure of financial assistance wa by no means confined to the Cadet movement; it inspired the nior Divi ions to renewed activity at a time when the general trade d pre ion \Va t.aking its toll of normal resources and energy; and Brigad Officers are to be congratulat.ed on the splendid efforts they have mad t.o t.ake advantag of a unique opportunity. It is not surprising, t.her fore, t.o find that after striking off nine disbanded Divisions from th Brigacl Regi ter the personnel has ri en from 9,286 at December, 1931, to 10,179 at the end of 1932 .

RESERVES.

The Welsh membership of the Military Hospitals Reserve increased from 404 to 414 last year. The Priory is proud of the fact that \Vales has supplied 114 over the quota originally allotted to her. Wales also welcomed the opportunity afforded of increasing its quota in the Royal aval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, which in common with the 1.H.R. is recruited solely from the t. John Ambulance Brigade. Vacancies occurring last year made it possible to accept a further nine vVelsh members whose names were on the waiting list for enrolment. The position as regards the registration of Voluntary Aid Detachments remains unchanged, and, while a certain amount of propaganda work was ventured, particularly in Monmouthshire, there are as previously reported three St. John Nursing Detachments in the County of Glamorgan and one in Breck:lockshire, all of which have maintained a creditable standard of efiiciency. E

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL BRIGADE DUTIES.

Return~ have ?een rendered by 149 Units (123 having failed to do so) an analysIs of WhlC~ shows that 27,867 cases attended by Brigade members w~r~ recorded, while 896 attendances were made at Hospitals, Homes, Clmlcs, vVelfare Centres, etc., and 3,281 at Medical Comforts Depois. Eight Division.s ar~ ~arryn.ng ou.t Road Patrol Duty regularly, seventeen others are mamtammg Frrst AId Road Boxes for public use in case of accident; and t?e services of Brigade Officers are being sought in many places as first ~ld le~turers to othe.r juvenile organizations, particularly Boy Scouts, Grrl GUldes, Boys' Bngades, Girls' FriendJy ocieties, and Yr. Urdd. . M~ny ins~ances ha~e been brought to notice of the rendering of fir t aId m parhcularly dIfficult or hazardous circumstance one of which was considered of a sufficiently distinguished nature to be ubmitted to the Order for recognition, Private James idney Rose of the Cardiff Emergency Division being awarded the l\1 ritorious First Aid Certificate. COMPETITIONS.

Two .C.ardiff teams by their success in the \Yelsh Brigade Final C?mpebbons had the honour of representing ~'ales in the Brigade Fmals on the 10th June, when Cardiff ity Police team came fourth and the Cardiff Emergency Nursing team eleventh. The Priory assisted in organizing the Preliminary Police ompetitions for the. Coun~ies of Glamorgan and Brecknock at the reque t of the res'pe~tIV~ ChIef Constables; and the" Pim " shield was brought to the PrmClpahty for the first time by the success of the Monmouthshire Constabulary team in the Police ational Competition. In the Welsh Railway Competition held at Cardiff on the 24th Odob r the ." Harry Webb" cup was secured for the Great "Yest.ern Railway: by .1tS ~ewport Dock Street team who had the pleasure of receiving therr prlZes at the hands of the G.\V.R. Centre Secretary, liss C. A. Ault. Open competitions were organized by the Priory in connection with the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society's Annual Show held last year at Llandrindo~ Wells; and the "Lady Bute" and "Lady Lewis" cups of the Pnory were as usual competed for in open contests at the Royal National Eisteddfod. Four new cups and ~:me shield .were pre~ented in 1932, bringing the ~otal m~_mber of tr~12hles vested rn the Pnory for annual competition rn the dIfferent localib.es to 88; and inter-colliery competitions, organized by the. generous aS~lstance and co-operation of the companies, are responsIble for helpmg to maintain the reputedly high standard of ambulance efficiency in the South \Vales Coalfield. MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

T~e a~ount of aI?bulance transport work carried out by the Priory's ServIce rn 19~2 agarn reached a higher total than in any previous year. The cars carned 8,070 cases, covering 166,446 miles, an increase on the figure~ fO.r 1931 .of 654 .and 24,632 respectively. The growth of the work thus rndl.cated IS parbcularly gratifying for it is not dependent upon the opemng of any new station, and, therefore, after allowing for the

increased use made by the medical profession of the ambulance car as an agent in the treatment of the sick, reflects the steadily growing measure of support accorded to this Service both by the colliery owners and workmen's Lodges. The Priory once again records its grateful indebtedness to the South \Vales and 10nmouthshire Committee of the l\Iiners' Welfare Fund for it generou grant. Though unable to allocate the sum of £2 500 as in former y ar , the Service benefitted to the extent of £2,000. ' MEDICAL

In a~cordance. \\'ith ~l ual practice this Department ha acted as purcha mg and dl pat~hmg agent for the variou needs of the Priory 's p ronnel, whose growmg tendency to obtain their requirements through t.he tor s I?epartmen~ may be r garded.as an indication of their increasing confidence ~n and desl!e to support Pnory Headquarters. The prices of several art.l~les o~ u~lform furniture were considerably reduced, while the fullest mve hgabon was undertaken with a view to obtainin a the be t po sible !llaterials on the mo t economic terms; and Brigade Units and ~fficers-m~ harge of ledical Comforts Depots ha\'e found that a savrng to th rr funds can be effected by purchasing not only uniform but first aid and medical equipment through the Department. ' Advantage was taken of th~ee opportunities afforded for the display of ambulance stores and eqUlpment at public exhibition of not less than one week's duration held ~n Cardiff in the months of February, June, and Nove.n~ber; and while from a business point of view the res~lts were negligIble the stands on each occasion attracted con iderable nobce and the stalJ attendant-:-freque?tly an Officer of the Brigadehad manr .chances of eXpOU!1~rng the Importance of first aid principles and provIsIOns to those deslnng such explanation. RECOGNITION OF SERVICES.

~t is satisfactory to record that in the revised Regulations of the Pnory the powers of Chapter have been widened so that it may in future recommend as .many as forty persons annually. This change which becomes operabve m 1933 was heralded by a very special concession gr~l~ted by the Chapter-General of the Order, whereby the Priory wa pnvlleged to forward an additional Ii t of thirty names.

COMMANDERY IN

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

DECEASED MEMBERS. \Vhilst the services rendered to the Order in 'Vales by t.hose whose names have been in erted add new lustre to the Roll of the Priory, the death of Dr. S. Glanville l\Iorris, of l\Iaerdy, on the 26th larch, 1932, removed a name which has most appropriately figured for over twenty years among the Knights of Grace. Dr. Morris had a long and honourable connection with the Order and hi death has been very keenly felt not only within the Borough of Rhondda Centre of the Priory of which he was Centre Surgeon, but among ambulance workers in all parts of Wales to whom his name was familiar as a very popular Ambulance Adjudicator and authority on first aid question. VISIT OF SECRETARY-GENERAL. An outstanding event of the year was the vi it of the ecretary-General of the Order, ~lajor-General Sir Percival . 'Vilkin on, rcc.:'1.G., C.B., to the annuall\Ieeting of Grand Committee held at Cardiff on t. David' Day. In extending a very cordial welcome on behalf of the Prior, the Sub-Prior, the Earl of Plymouth, P.C., referred to the presence of the Secretary-General as a happy indication of the very harmonious relat.ionship existing between the Grand Priory and its premier E tablishment. COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The Commandery year is different from the Chapter-General year in that it finishes on 31st March. At the time of going to pres the Commandery Report for the year ending 31st March, 1933, had not. been received at St. John's Gate. Certain items of interest have, therefore, been taken out of t.he Minutes of the Commandery-Chapter, Council and Ambulance CommiUee, for the information of members in advance of the receipt of the official Report from South Africa. At the meeting of the Commandery-Chapter held on 17th February, 1932, the Knight-Commander authorized the Secretary to procure a standard to be used in accordance with Statute 42, Regulation 42 , and decided also to ask the permission of Chapter-General to use a sword on ceremonial occasions in the same manner in which it i used at St. John's Gate. The request was made in a letter dated 16th March, 1932, from the Knight-Commander and authorization given in the Secretary-General's letter of 19th April, 1932. The Commandery-Chapter at this meeting also expressed their great thanks for the hospitality and entertainment given to them on the occasion of the Centenary Celebrations, 1931. Two facts of interest in connection with first aid are that the South African Police take their initial course of first aid at Pretoria before leaving the training depot, and that in Kimberley all tramway employees are certificated and every tram carries a first aid box. One other point is of interest, and that is that on account of the earlier development of young men and women in South Africa the age of entry into the St. John Ambulance Brigade in South Africa has been lowered from 18 to 17 years.

Report of the COll11llittee for

193 2 lIo pitaller and the ommiHee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to . ubmit their Forty-first Report for the information of His Royal IIighn the Grand Prior, the hapter-General and its subscribers. Your ommittee regret to have to report the passing of Field-:JJarshal Vi count Plumer, who wa appointed a member of the Committee on hi return from Pale tine on completion of hi term as High Commissioner in 1 ~)2 ' . II al\\'ays took the keene t interest in the Hospital, and never 10 t an opportunity of taking hi guests-official as well as privateto ,Ti it the t. Jol1n Ophthalmic Hospital, and his enthusiasm for the work of tIle Order led to more than one substantial financial gift from fri end who caught omething of his fire during the inspection of the IIo pital under hi ' guidance. H.R.H. the Grand Prior ha appointed ir J ohn Chancellor, G.C.M.G., G.C.'· .O . , !l .S.O., late IIigh ommi sioner for Palestine and Trans-Jordan, a Knight of Grace of the Order, to be a member of the Committee. The work accompli hed by the no pital taff sho\\"s a great increase on that of la t year \\Then ab enc and illness of our surgeons affected th e total. The comparati,Te table of Hospital statistics on p. 7 will clearly how the in rea e in all four divi ion of In-patients, Kew Outpatients, Total Attendance, and Operations. The Committee is glad to be able to report that the ub-\A/arden, Dr. Norman ::'IIan on, accepted its invitation to extend hi agreement for another year, and take thi opportunity of congratulating him on hi marriage, which took place in June. Dr. K. J. O'Day, who wa appointed Registrar at the end of 1930, has resigned hi office and returned to Australia. Miss Muriel H amilton, M.B., who occupied the post from 1927 to 1929, has been reappointed, and took up her work again in October last. For their voluntary help given in the H ospital the Committee expresses its hearty thanks to Dr. (1\1rs.) Owen Pigott and Dr. Khalil Buderi. There is no change to report in the ursing Staff. Mrs. Kurnri resi gned her po t of H ou ekeeper, and has been succeeded by 1\1rs. Cubeisy on a part-time ba is. The subway between the Hospital and the Annexe has been completed, and has proved the boon it promised to be. A sum of over £600 has been spent on improvements in the Warden's Lodge, giving an enlarged dining-room and an additional bedroom and dressing-room with bath. This expenditure is much appreciated by the Warden and Mrs. Strathearn, who will find it easier to extend hospitality to members of the Order, and your Committee also feel that the dignity of the Warden' s position in J erusalem warranted this provision of better accommodation. Owing to the unsettled state of Palestine, as evidenced by certain crimes of violence, it has been deemed wise to fit iron grilles TIlE

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

to certain of the windows in the \Varden's Lodge and in the caretaker'fiat in the nnexe. The \Varden reports a greater scarcity of water than ever. From] uly to September water was only available for a short period every sixth day and the outlook for 1933 is mo t criou. The co t ha , however, fallen from £10,1 5s. in 1931 to £79 12s. for 1932. No further steps have been taken, for financial reasons, in the matter of the erection of the South Block for paying patients. The balance left in the Ho pital Restoration }und is £1,627 19 . 9d. The Income and Expenditure Account show that the cost to the Order of maintaining the Hospital for the financial year ended 30th eptember, 1931, was £3,975 19s. 9d. The comparable co t for th three previous years ha been: 1929, £3,535; 1930, £3,G12; 1031, £3,58 1. On the other hand, the actual expenditure la t year wa £5,.32,;) 11s . 3d. as against £5,269 15s. 4d . for 1931, the increa e of £2GO being almo t entirely due to salaries. In spite of the world-wide financial un table equilibrium our] eru alem Hon. Treasurer, Lady Wat on, is proud to remit £30-, only £1 3s. nd. less than the previous year-a remarkable achievement under th circumstances. For twelve successive year he has now prov d a mod 1 and progressive Treasurer and an inde£atigible worker in the II pilal as well, where she pre ides over the Linen Room. Your ommitlee can only add a twelfth and cumulative vote of thanks to her in addition to the equally sincere eleven that have preceded. To Mr. ]. Horne Stevenson, our Hon. ecretary for colland, your Committee i indebted for his untirinO' enthu ~ ia m in collectin cT fund for the Hospital in Scotland. Brigadier]. G. Browne, C.M.G., C.B.E., D.S.O., ommandanL of the Iraq Levies, a Knight of Grace of the Order, visited the lIo 'pi tal on hi journey home from Iraq in March, and wrote a report to the ummittee from which the following are extracts :« The out-patients who come to the Annexe for attention, running a I was told in the summer to 700 ca e a day, can camp in the shaded courtyard and come up as their turn come. Dealing with 700 patient a day, many being children, is a very great strain on the taff there, and though Lieut.-Colonel trathearn did not actually ay 0, I should imagine that day after day of such work in the ummer mu t try them very hard. He told me one point which is quite understandable- that when dealing with successive cases of children, the child being dealt with is probably yelling for all it is worth, the one just operated on also, and all those just coming up are crying in sympathy or anticipation, and that it is quite impossible to make oneself heard, and he and the nur e work by signs. It does not require much imagination to realize what a few hours of this would make one feel like. And this goe on continuou 1y for weeks. « To show how well known the place is, an old Arab arrived when I was there, having walked in from Haditheh on the Syrian-Iraq border. H e expected immediate attention, but the Warden said that he must take his turn. They are very particular about this, and the reason is obvious. « . . . One difficulty they have is water, the great difficulty always at ] erusalem. There is a particular shortage this year. I don't see how t hat can be got over until the water supply all through becomes better.

. I was interested to see that they have the oil stoves for cooking. I am in favour of these from their cleanliness and complete absence of smell. In a land where there are often strong winds, the ordinary fire mu t catter ash or coal dust (if used) about, and in the case of a ho pital of this kind, that is a thing to be avoided. In a sparsely wooded country, too, like Palestine, the oil stove is probably more economical. ". . . I a ked the \Varden if th y got patients coming in from as far away a Iraq. He said' Occasionally', and I understood him to say that they have just about as much as they could compete with, without Iraqis coming over. At any rate, there is no doubt that if the number of patients continues to increase, and (with the knowledge of what is being done by the Ho pital) I see no reason why they hould not, then, I think, an increa e in the staff will have to be considered. " . . . In conclu ion, I can only say that the Order requires no finer monument than the work that i being done at ] erusalem.)) The Olive-yard produced ~ rotl of olives, yielding 24 rotls of oil, which at Pi . 16 per rotl are worth about £-4.:. The very low yield is account d for by the prevailing drought. ::\frs. Elizabeth Gordon ha endowed a cot in the Hospital, to be known a the" Dougla leI enzie Gordon)) cot, and a mural tablet has been placed recording the fact, and the generous donor has received the Committee' sincere thank for her gift. The donation of £52 lOs. by the Great Priory for England and \Vales for a pecial piece of equipment, referred to in the last Report, has been expended on the purcha e of a cialytic Light for the operation table in the O.P. Department, and it has been adapted for removal, if necessary, to any otller position in the Hospital. l\Ir. E. F. Fincham has pre ented for use in the Hospital an Ophthalmo cope of his own design, which has proved a valuable addition to our equipment. Mr. Fellowe -Farrow, whose cinema film of the Hospital was referred to in la t year's Report, ha presented it to the Order. It is of 16 mm. type and runs to about 200 feet, and will make a useful prologue or epIlogue to any lecture on the hi tory or activities of the Order. ir ~erbert am~el on has given two Electro-lux outfits (with sprayer) for use 111 the HospItal. These should prove a great boon and a saving of labour. The girl of the Tenison chool, Croydon, offered through Mrs. O. Ruffalls to work shade and scarves for the Hospital. This offer was gratefully accepted, and there is promise of further help in the future. The unday School children of t . George's are paying for a special table for the Po~ter-Bucky Diaphragm. Your Committee, in expressing thanks for the gIft, welcomes thi evidence of interest in the work of the Hospital by the younger generation growing up in Palestine. VIscountess St. Cyres has given old linen, and Mrs. S. Flagg (of Bryn Mawr, U.S.A.) $100 for any purpose, practical or artistic, for the benefit of the Hospital. The Committee's appeal for books for the Staff Library has resulted in generous gifts from the following, to whom thanks have already been expressed: Mrs. Holbein Hendley, Mr. \ i\ il on, Mr. E. Pottinger, the Harrogate Church Institute (through Colonel C. H. l\Iilburn, O.B.E.,

The Ladies' Linen Guild has maintained its beneficent role during the past year. The Ho pital is the richer by twelve more metal bed ide lockers, which are so much appreciated by the \Varden for their practical use and by all visitors for their handsome appearance. Their other activities are fully set out in their own Report, which is appended, and to which the attention of readers i e pecially directed. Your ommittee is very sensible of the support the Guild gives to the IIo pital and i glad to express its deep appreciation of all it ha done and i continuin a to do to improve the equipment of the Hospital. Chapter-General, to compensate in some small dearee the \Varden for his l~ss wh~n robbed on. the Jericho road, and to how it appreciation of hIS serVIces, voted hlffi a gold watch on which wa engraved a suitable inscription and the arms of the Order. An appeal to Chapter-General for as i tance in the ca e of certain Russian nuns who were in desperate trait for some of the more common drugs was answered by a vote of £20 for the nece ary purclla, e which wa en~rusted to the Hospital Committee.

He expre ses the ar atest admiration for the work of the Ophthalmic Hospital. Hi wife is the only daughter of the late J. J . Graham Brown, twice President of the Royal ollefTe of Physicians in Scotland and can write M.B. after her name. il1av the Committee express the hope that they will both take an active intere t in our work in the Holy Land? A proposal to take on lease a plot in the :Jluristan lying adjacent to the p~ope~ty of the Order and containing an old school building in order that It mIght become the headquarters of the ambulance activitie of t~e Ord~r in ~alestine has been reluctantly dropped owing to unexpected drfficulbes raIsed by the freeholders in Berlin. The Government of Palestine has, for some time past, been seriously concerned at t~e enormous ~revalence of " blindness" in the country. I~~e.ed, Palestm~ has the hIghest percentage of "blindness" of any CIVIlized country m the ~vorld. "Blindness," it may be added, is inability to count fingers at a dIstance of one metre-not a very high tandard . Repeated reference to the unsatisfactory conditions existing has been made by the Warden in his annual Reports, and last year he went at some length into the matter. In spite of the other calls on his time and .energy, he foun.d opportunity last summer to spend many days makmg an .ophthalrr:llc survey of the" blindness" in the worst villages of the Pl,:ms. ThIS survey has been carried out at the request of the Supenntendent of Census and with the active co-operation of the

Depart:-nent of Public Health who have supplied the tents and the s~lbordmat.e staff. The \Var~en drew up an exhaustive Report containing Ius deductlOn and suggestlOn for dealing with the situation which he presented to the High Commis ioner.

HOSPITAL

The Warden's Report for the year 1932. THE number of new patients seen during 1932 was 21,350 and the total consultations 97,063. The number of pabents admitted to Hospital wa 1,399 and the number of operations performed 3,716; this total include 605 intra-ocular operations of which 309 were for cataract. There were 2,085 operations for the relief of trichiasis. The average duration of stay in Hospital wa nine day. Classified according to religion, of the new cases r, 75·1 were 110 lems ; 3,617 were Christians; and 1,979 were Jews. Of the total con ultation 76,011 were Mo lems; 14,126 were hristians, and 6,926 were Jew. The comparison of these figures with those of previous years shows that the attendance in the Out -Pabent Department was the largest in our records. When analysed it is seen that thi increa e wa mostly due to the number of patients with acute conjuncti,Titi attending the nnexe clinic. H ere the new cases were 5,023 and the total con ultation 2 ,258; an increase of nearly two thousand new case and seven thou and total attendances. vVe were again fortunate in having the voluntary help of 1\1rs. Owen Pigott, M.B., who attended with great regularity and rendered ,-aluable service. This was Dr. Pigott' second year in medical char e of this clinic, and it is with regret that we learn that it i a1 0 h r la t owing to her departure from Palestine on the conclu ion of her hu band' , term of foreign service at the Royal Air Force Headquart rs in J rusalem. The incidence of trachoma amongst the out-patient wa 00 per cent. This high rate remains very steady and in practice it mean t.hat almo t every peasant is infected with trachoma. The incid nce of t.rachoma amongst the townspeople is much Ie s, and there are ign of continuou' improvement, especially among t the chool children. The xclu ion of trachomatous pupil from town chool and till more the di qualiflcation for Government employment of candidate who show ign of active trachoma are doing more to emphasize the eriou ne of tIli' disea e to' ordinary people than much preaching. Further the pread of education and the rise in the standard of living with all that this implie: will ha,'c more effect in solving the trachoma problem in Pale tine than medical measures strictly so-called. Of the 21,350 new cases, 2,127 were ({ blind in one eye (9'9 per cenl), and 800 were ({ blind in both (3'7 per cent). The number of individuals. who were blind in one or both eyes was 2,927 (13'7 per cent). .\ hitherto, ({ blindness is reckoned on the low standard of iI1ability to count fingers. at a distance of one metre.

After d ductin a the cataract cases (which can u ually be cured of this " blindne .. " by op ration) it i een that 81 per cent of this blindness can be traced, directly or indirectly, to acute conjunctivitis. The e figure.: how \'cr, are only a record of (( blindne s among t patient attcnc.lmg the Ophthalmic Ho.pital and give no exact indication of the amount of " blindn "in the population of Pale tine. In 1 D3 1 a yery car ful and cientifically regulated cen u was taken of tIl popuJation of Pale t.ine, and by the courte y of the Superintendent of ~ ]1. us ~ am able. to utilize some of the findings pertaining to this ub]. ct. lhe Pale tme c n u hows 19,676 individuals tabulated a " blmd" in one eye and 8,172 "blind in both. In every hundred tl:ou. and of the population 843 are totally blind. This may be compared WIth rate pcr hundred thousand in other countries, e.g. England, 73; Cyprus, 420; Egypt, 776. Thi Egyptian figure i the result of the ! D27 cen us; that of the 1917 cen u wa 1,223 . To quote the Supermt.endcnt of en u , "conditions as regards blindness in Palestine are compar~ble only v,.'ith the condition in Egypt, the local proportion being man,y .tIme~ that m all other countries. It will be also ob erved that condIt:on m Egypt improved 0 greatly between 1917 and 1927 that Pal~ ~me now takes the first place in regard to the gravity of thi afflIctIon.' , In ~igated by the e appalling figures and at the sugge tion of the Sup.enntend nt o~ Censu , the ' iVarden, ,vho i al 0 the Honorary Consultmg OphthalmIC urge on to the Government, decided to undertake a~1 inquiry into the incidence of blindness in a certain number of selected VIllages. This inquiry had the active co-operation of the Department ?f ~ealth and of the Admini tration generally. The detail of this mqUlry are too technical for extended reference here, but they demon trate ~hat t.he census returns are an under-estimate in the eleven villaaes mve tIgated, and it is a fair inference that the censu return of 843 totally blind per hundred thou and of the entire population i al 0 an JJ

under-e timate. Further, on analysi it was found that of the total 1,118 blind eye in these villages, 792 eyes had been blinded a the re ult of acute conjunctivitis; in other word, 78 per cent of thi blindnes i traceable to an ntirely preventible di ea e. At the reque~ t of His Excellency, the High Comrni ioner for Pale tine, a memorandum on the ubject ,vas drawn up and ubmitted. A a re ult, nergetic tep are being taken by the Admini tration to deal effectively with this problem and the Order (If t. John i invited to co-operate. Reference ha already been made to the 'work at the .\nn xe and to the rapid increase in the number of case of acute conjun iivitis treal d. In addition this fine building serve as a helter during til day, and accommodate at night throughout the summcr an avcrage of 1.')0 patients. It is '~vell to bear in Inind the fact that during thc pa t three. eason - we have been fortunate in obtainina ,killed medical a istancc for the work of the Annexe clinic; but for thi help the number of ca. e treated would haye been much Ie . To gi,'c ome indication of what ha. b en accompli hed here our records show that 3,108 infant attenc1 d with acute conjunctivitis; of the e 408 (11 per cent) were , u[[ering from the complication of ulceration of the cornea. Over two hundr'd of tIl ::-e eyes were already hopele sly lost; of the remainder of ulceratec1 eve it i hoped that with timely surgical inten'ention am vision \\ ill be retained. But a the e ca e are u ually removed to their distant villages before it is practicable to operate the chancc of their being brought back to us in time i remote. It i propo ed under the new schcme to card index all these ca es and to follow them up; much remediable blindnc can be averted in this way. The taft of the Anncxe have to be congratulated on their work, but we mu t ee that the burden i - not too great. The summer heat and fiie and the depre ing nature of the di ea: treated impose sufficiently arduous condition without tIl added annoyance of pushing and striving amongst the too eagcr applicants for relief. As the time and attention of the as i tant are ab'orb d in the registration and treatment of patient., th employment of an additional helper, ,';'Ihose duty it 'would be to keep order, i advi abl .

They will be dealt with in the three operating rooms in the main Hospital and returned safely through the subway to the cloister of the Annexe. In the Out-patient Department 1,654 patients were tested for glasses, and 994 prescriptions for the same were given; the remainder, owing to the presence of irregular astigmatism or other conditions, showed insufficient visual improvement to warrant a prescription. Amongst the cases examined were 57 Army, 34 Royal Air Force, and 7 members of the families of the foregoing. There were also 109 monks and nuns (European); 150 Government officials and employees (and in 42 cases ophthalmic reports were submitted at the request of the District Medical Boards); 142 British or American citizens were also treated . In the "X" Ray Department, 50 photographs were t aken, 44 exposures being made 'With the P otter-Bucky apparatus to elucidate the presence of sinusitis, intra-orbital conditions, etc., and 6 foreign bodies (metallic) were localized with t he aid of the Sweet's apparatus.

REPORT

\ Ye arc much indebted to Dr. \ V. E. Thompson, our Hon. Radiographer, for his help and advice in this department, as well a elsewhere. The two plaques of radium for local application were u ed to the full ext nt of the time at the dispo al of the taff. :\1any of the cases were referrcel to us by other ho pital. The ca es treated included 23 spring catarrb, 10 rodent ulcer, 9 cancer (including one of the "X" Ray "ariety), and 15 hcemangiomata; amongst the remainder was one case of X roderma pigmento um. The total number of applications of radium was 37,,). In th circum tance. we have attempted nothing experimental, but follow d recognized procedures. As to it great value in the type of c'.l..e treated tbere can be no doubt. Under apparently similar condltlOn there wa con iderable difference in reaction which leads one to xpect that by extended experience it may be possible to alter the cre ning and do. age and 0 reduce the number of applications. It is my hope that in the future we may be able to e tabli h a Physical Therapy D partment witb a eparate killed staff, and so be able to utilize to a fuller xtent the variou types of "ray" treatment now available for therapeutic purpo e . On the dom tic side of the Ho pital there has been a definite rise in the c~ t of li"in a ; this ri e has been calculated by the C01mnercial BIII/etlll of the Goyernment at .,)',,) per cent between July and October. Apart f~om this th re has been a leady ri~e in what Inight be termed the patlCnt' xpectation of food. A greater variety is looked for. Thi tcnd nC~T on the part of the peasant hows that the standard of living among. t the "illager i ri ing. Thi is partly due to the increased pro p rit)', e pecially among t the villages near the towns, and partly tu the ph nomenal u e ,vhich the e village populations make of the ch ap motor tran port. And at the cafes and the eating booths of the towns th yare 10 ing the hanker for the plain and too often unappetizing food of backward village life. Thi also i a ian of progre s. The scarcity of water in J ern alem was greater than ever last year. In~l .d, f.or the town, di a ter wa only averted by the expedient of bnngmg 111 an emeraency upply from a pring in the eastern foothill . Even wi tIl thi addition, from the month of July till eptember, water was only available at the Ho pital for a short period every sixth day. Evcry effort wa made to conserve water; the flower garden were allowed to dry up, and we finished the year with empty cisterns. To m<1:k . mattcr ~vorse, the rains of December, which usually arrive in suffiCIent .quantIty to relieve all anxiety, entirely failed . Hence, so far a w~ter IS concerned, we face 1033 with grave mi giving. \YIth regard to the" Clinic" scheme an additional clinic was opened at Jaffa in Tovember, making a total of even now in operation. During 1033 furtl~e.r cl~nics will be opened at otber centre a part of the scheme for the mItIgatIOn of blindnes in Pale tine. It is al 0 the intention to make the p riodic visitation of these clinic obligatory on the part of the S\lr~eOns of the Hospital. Hitherto the chief drawback to this superVISIon has been the endeavour to make the tour in two groups, one northern and one sout~ern; each group requiring about five days absen.ce from the HospItal. Under the new arrangement it will be practI~able to visit the clinic in smaller group or even a single clinics. Palestme ro~ds are no:v so good that a fast run to almost any centre can be made WIthout fatIgue. The following table summarizes the work done at the various clinics during the year.

Of the total operations (1,099), only 393 were done for the relief of trichiasis. In 1928 the trichia i operation done at the clinic totalled 1,182; this number has fallen steadily sinc , and now amount to a yearly average of Ie s than 70 per medical officer. Thal there is till an enormous number of trichiasis ca es in the country i evident from the fact that la t year no fewer than 3,769 patient u-fferinn- from trichia .j.;; travelled to the Ho pital of the Order, but owing to the pr 'sur of other operative work we were only able to d al with a limited number of th e. This lack of effort on the part of Goyernment doctors to cope with thi~ great need is very disheartening. As empha ized in pre\'iUllS annual reports, this type of operative work is well within the competence of the staffs at the eye clinics, and their trichia is operation arc generally quite good. On the low ground of expedi ncy it i regrettabl that an opportunity of doing something to relieve the fellah of a painful di · abilit~· is not utilized to the utmo t. It would also les en the train on the central Hospital and leave the staff freer for the more important op rative work; this was one of the original intention of the" clinic" cheme. In the coming year it i hoped that by clo er co-operation betwe n the clinic ~nd the Hospital of the Order the trichia i operation will how a large mcrease. The Linen Guild has bountifully supplied all the requirement of the Hospital linen room. This department under the watchful care of Lady \ ,Vatson is a credit to all concerned. Among t the gift for the linen room special mention must be made of the parcels received from the No.1 City European ursing Division and the Indian Nur ing Division, both of Calcutta. All these articles were worked by the i ters of the Division at special work classe. In conclusion, my be t thanks are due to all the staff, both British and Palestinian, and especially to the Sub-Warden, Dr. Manson, and to the Registrar, Dr. Muriel Hamilton, whom we are glad to welcome back.

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 TSTRUCTIO - .

The number of Certificates issued in England, Ireland, and 'Vales during the year is as follows : First Aid (lIIen) " " (",\Vomen) Home Nursing ( len) " ,,(Women). Home Hygiene (Men) (Women) Sanitation Cookery

1932. 23,764 7,829 980 5,834 75 159 59 29

1931. 29,125 8,348 1,151 6,051 64 191 15 25

Priory for "'\Yales

38,709 8,188

44,970 7,070

46,897

52,040

The decrea e of 5,153 is partly due to the fact that the instruction of erving Officer of the 1etropolitan Police Force in First Aid was practically completed last year, and in consequence the number of ertificate issued to members of that body during the year fell by 3,000 ; while the number of Certificates issued to recruits joining the Force also fell by 550. In addition, the number of drivers and conductors of public vehicles and the number of persons engaged in the coal mining industry learning Fir t Aid have dropped since the impetus given in 1931 and 1930 respectively by the introduction of new regulations by the Ministry of Transport and the Board of Trade. These factors, and the general depression through which the country is passing, explain the decrease in the number of Certificates, but there is again an increase in the number of Medallions, Labels and Pendants issued during the year, which indicates that there is no falling off in the interest and efficiency of First Aiders. The figures are as follows :-

Medallions Labels Pendants.

1932. 14,526 37,795 4,746

Priory for Wales. 1,336 5,851 358

1931. 14,501 36,521 4,695

Priory for Wales. 1,26-1 5,439 330

57,067

7,545

55,717

7,033

The number of First Aid Vouchers issued during the year through the medium of Detached Classes is 5,762, being a decrease of 3,498 on the previous year's figure.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA TCE ASSOCIATIO '.

OVERSEAS CENTRES.

Returns received from Overseas Centres show the number of Certificates issued to be 36,016, making the grand total of Certificates issued by the Association since its inception 2,207,059.

to find time to discuss with the Director the affairs of the Association in their areas. The Association also had the advantage of discussing with Dr. P. J. Kelly, Chairman of the Briti h Guiana Centre, the various aspects of the work of the Centre, where the most notable feature has been the progre s made by the Police and Militia under the command of Colonel ,V. H. Bradburn.

It may be of interest to compare the grand total of Certificat~s with the number of textbooks sold by the Association since theIr first publication : 3,500,000 720,000 35,000 approx. 5,000 approx.

First Aid (1878) . Home ursing (1880) Home Hygiene (1898) Sanitation (1906)

4,260,000

which, it will be observed, is nearly double that of Certificates issued. It should not, however, be inferred that 50 per cent of tho e :vho are examined fail for a Certificate, for in actual fact the percentage 1 about 8 or 9; rather does it signify that Fir~t Aiders n:~intain their int~r~st and efficiency and provide themselves WIth new edItIOns at each reVI IOn of the textbooks. Conversations have taken place with the Metropolitan Police authorities concerning the continuation of First Aid" Refre her" cour es for the Force, and the Home Office has approved of the permanent institution of such courses periodically. Discussions have also taken place with the Board of Trade concerni?-g the instruction and examination of members of H.1I. Coastguard erVIce in First Aid, and arrangements have been made for a number of the Force to attend classes. Efforts are being made to arrange cla ses all round the coast so that the entire personnel may before long be in possession of Certificates. There has been a continuation of the classes at the Ierchant Taylors' School since 1922, and one has also been held at Shrewsbury School. OVERSEAS CENTRES A

BRANCHES

Reports so far received from Overseas Centres indicat~ o~ the whole an increase in the number of Certificates and re-exammatIOn awards during the year, a very satisfactory position cons~dering that Overseas Centres are not unaffected by the general depressIOn. Once more Hong Kong has been able to prove its value to the community in times of serious emergency. It not only.dispa.tched a l~rge contingent of members of the Brigade to Shangha.I dunng the SIr:OJapanese dispute in March, but the Centre also furmshed lar~e sUP12hes of medical equipment and comforts for the use of the wounded I?- hos'pI.tal. The presence in London of the Governo~ of I:Iong. Kong, SIT. 'Y~Iam Peel, provided an opportunity of discussmg WIth hIm the acbvIb~s ?f the Association in the Colony, the considerable progress made by It m recent years, and its ambitions for the future. Similarly the .Governors of British Guiana, Sir Edward Denham, and of Bermuda, SIT Thomas Astley Cubitt, where progress is also most marked, were good enough

The Australian Centres are pursuing their activities with their usual vigour, but an experiment on the part of the New South \\ ales Centre is worthy of record. A caravan was purchased with stores, textbooks, etc., and was placed under the charge of an experienced First Aider, whose duty it was to penetrate into the more distant parts of the State and to organize lectures. The scheme is still undergoing trial. Canada has suffered a great loss through the death of The Honourable N. . Belcourt, K.C., P.C., enator of Canada, Mr. Justice J. F. Orde, and ir George Burn, and has al 0 been handicapped by the re ignation of it Dir ctor-General, Colonel C. A. Hodgetts, who was one of the fir t in anada to lecture under the auspices of the Association, and who had held office since May, 1921. Lieut.-Commander P. M. Filleul, ecreiary of the Executive Committee, who did much valuable work for the anadian Branch, al 0 resigned on his return to England. The good work done by the Association in Auckland, ,Vellington, and \Vanganui on the occasion of the disastrous earthquake at Hawke's Bay in 1931 wa emulated by the Dunedin Centre during the year under review. The A ociation ha al 0 had the advantage of discussions with Miss N. Hill, Gen ral ecretary of the Indian Branch of the Association, and n:any problems that have confronted the two Headquarters were dl cu d. further intere ting feature in connection with the work of the Indian Branch is the large number of men serving in the Regular Army who have received instruction in First Aid through the initiative of General Bruce Hay, Commanding the Lucknow District, and Colonel S. 1anvers Ieadows, M.R.C.S., R.A.M.C. An:ong cla ses held overseas outside the area of Centres may be mentIoned one in Nairobi, conducted in Swahili, several in the Straits Settlement, and one each in Barbados and Jamaica. In the Straits Settlem nt a Committee is being formed to consider ways and means of extending the activities of the Association, and the visit of Mr. Fairburn, Inspector-General of Police, and Dr. C. J. Wilson, Principal Medical Officer, to London, provided an opportunity for a discussion on the SUbject.

~o less than four Ov~r eas Centres have acquired headquarter premises durmg the year, two m New Zealand, namely Wellington and Canterbury and ,Vest Coast, and two in South Africa, namely Natal and Orange Free tate. The two last-mentioned were each opened by H.E. the Governor-General, one at Bloemfontein by the Earl of Athlone on 27th September, 1931, and the other at Durban by the Earl of Clarendon on 9th April, 1932. In August copies of the 1931 Centenary Book were sent to all Overseas Centres of the Association and Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, and to

all those from overseas who attended the Celebrations. Many appreciative acknowledgments have been received. The book describes in diary form the events of the Centenary Week, and it is al 0 illustrated. It is bound in kid-vellum, but there is al 0 a cheaper edition in cloth. TEXTBOOKS The reVISIOn of the Home ursing Textbook was completed during the year and the new edition, described as the 4th, was on sale in July. It has been very favourably reviewed in the Press, while examiners, lecturers, and pupils have also commented very favourably on it. The revision of A Catechism of Home ursing and A Preliminary Course of Home Nursing, entailed by the revision of the Home ursing Textbook, are nearing completion.

CINEMATOGRAPH FILM Copies of the latest film made for and presented to the Order of t. John by British International Pictures Limited have seen sent to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. SAFETY FIRST CON GRESS Representatives of the Association attended one of the sessions of the Safety First Congress in May, when Dr. T. E. A. Stowell read a paper on "First Aid in Industry The discussion that followed revealed that some of those engaged in industry have a wrong conception of First Aid, which the Association is endeavouring to rectify. It appears that in some cases the casualty room which factories and workshops are required to provide has been placed under the charge of a First ider who has been expected to diagnose and treat ailments and injuries quite outside his scope. The Association circularized all the representatives of those firms represented at the Congress, and has published letters on this subject in the St. John Ambulance Gazette.

The Final Competition at the Wharncliffe Rooms, Hotel Great Central, London, on 27th May, was judged by Dr. A. T. Lakin, of Manchester ·(Team), and Doctors W. A. Rees, of London, and G. D. Tullis, of Hereford (Individual). The result was a follows:l.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA.'CE

SSOCIATIO~.

ABRIDGED R EPORTS FROM CENTRES.

PRIORY FOR WALES.

COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

As the timulu of a grant from the Pilgrim Trust for th stabli~lllnent of Cadet Units has been re pon ible not only for thc rcyi\'al of intcrest in depressed areas but also for the formation of new 4\mbulance la ses, reference will first be made to the Preliminary CIa cs as a f ature of primary importance in the ycar's work. During the h\"clYC m onth 2,957 juniors attendcd a course of in truction, as compar cl wit.h 1,703 in 1931.

The Centr~s of the As ociat.ion cont.rolled by the Commandery in Sou.thcrn ~nca all rcport an mcrease 111 their activities, and there is an 1l1crease 111 the number of cerbficatcs issued. The opening of Centre Headquarters at Bloemfontein and Durban should materially assist ~he dcv~lopm nt ?f ambulance work in tho e areas. Two facts of mtere. t l!l c.0fo1~ectlOn with fir t aid are that the South African P olice t~k.c . theIr 1111tIal cour e of fir t aid at Pretoria before leaving the tIUl~l11g depot, and that in Kimberley all tramway employees are certIficated and every tram carries a first aid box.

Another important aspect of the year's \york is it ;].chiev ment in relation to the problem of unemployment, which on the one hand has occasioned depletion in the normal str ngth, Lut on the other has pro\' d an opportunity for development. For, in C0l1llCction with the Ll1l:mployed Training Centres which have become common in the h)\n1S and villages, courses in fir t aid have been introduced, and the Priory is giying a measure of financial help towaru t.he formation of such cla~ cs by providing the textbooks free of chargc and ecuring thc scn'ic of honorary lecturers. A step taken by the "J-Ionmouth hire and South \\'al oal Owner' . ssociation on the initiation of the Priory is likely to go a long way towards removing the old contention that the r pon iblc amhulanccmen in the mines should be not only in posscs ion of a fir t aid c(;rtificate but also required to maintain efficicncy by periodic rc-cxamin;].tion. At its meeting in August, the Association dccided to r commcnd own r to do everything possible to ensure that the men carrying the fir. t aid boxes shall renew their qualification once in five year. \Vhile tlli wa issued merely as an official recommendation, there is evidence that. it i being adopted. In the South \Vales Coalfield- probably a eli tinct from other coalfields-compliance with a legislative measure along these lines would involve the owner in little or no difficulty as there are yery few mining districts without their Unit of thc Brigadc, or at least, Ambulance Classes, Following a series of meetings held by a special sub-committee, a Panel of Examiners has been drawn up with a view to maintaining a duly high standard of examination; and the services of many medical men who had given courses of lectures gratuitously over a period of ten years and more received long overdue recognition by appointment a Honorary Life Members of the Priory. The number of students who attended a course of instruction in first aid and home nursing in 1932 was 16,179 and 1,317 respectively-or, 1,984 more than the total number of students who pre ented themselves for examination or re-examination in 1931. Once again the past year's figures maintain the unbroken sequcnce of increascd numbers which has been ob ervable in each subsequent report.

The centre has lost a valued worker in the death of ir Frank B. :JIoulden, an Officer of the Order, who had been a member of the Committee since 1917. The forty-first annual meeting of the centre was held on 12th ovember, 1931. The activity of the centre during the past twelve months has been severely restricted by the prevailing depression. In order to retain and encourage the classes of instruction, the committee found it necessary to reduce the individual class fees and, in most cases, to suspend the regulation requiring a minimum fee from the class collectively. The efforts of the centre in this direction have been greatly assisted, and indeed only rendered possible, by medical men forgoing their examination fees, in many instances, and by the entirely voluntary work of others in organizing and preparing classes for examination free of cost to the centre. With a view to starting a first aid campaign, it was decided in March, 1932, to purchase a motor caravan, suitably equipped for first aid lectures and the sale of first aid stores in the country, also a cinematograph and projector for demonstration purposes. As a result of this venture new classes have been formed where NEW SOUTH

ST. JOHN'S GATE, LONDON, E.C. 1. 31st December, 1932. To THE DIRECTOR OF AMBULANCE, ORDER OF ST. JOHN. SIR, I have the honour to submit my second Annual Report as Chief Commissioner of the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade (at Home). During 1932 there has been a highly satisfactory increase in both the number of new Divisions and in the total personnel. Thi reflects the greatest credit on all ranks from the Commi ioners down to the mo t junior members. For without energy and initiative in the superior rank and keenness and efficiency in the junior rank, uch increases would be impo ible. It i an eloquent testimony to the valuable work for the public which is being carried out by the Brigade. I am particularly glad to have to report that there has been a very large increa e in the number of Cadets. The more we can get the youth of the country intere ted in the movement the more is the future strength assured. The actual incrca e during the year in new Divisions are: 62 mbulance, 28 ur ing, 3 Cadet Ambulance, and 15 Cadet Nursing Divi ion -a total of 143 new Division. The net increa e in strength i 2,399 men, 120 women, 1,337 boys, and 215 girl -a total increa e of 4,071. The following table shows the trength of the Brigade at the end of the year und r review.

In studying the reports from the Commissioners, which are forwarded herewith, I have been struck by the ever-increasing service which is being rendered to the public by the self-sacrificing work of the members of the Brigade. Many reports have been brought to m y notice of units ?<l:ving been called up at all hours of the night to render assistance to InJured persons; this valuable help has always been rendered promptly

and willingly. Two recent ca es have been brought to my notice of life having been a\-ed by the prompt and efficient action of members of thc Brigade. I will again content my elf 'Vvith quoting the aggregatc figure of work performed by the various Di trict and Countie ,a the Commi ioners' reports fully de cribe the valuable ervice rendered by member of the Brigade under their re pective command. An analysis of the Return how that 460,253 cases of accid nt and sudden illness are recorded a having been attended to by member of the Brigade during 1932, compared with 386,2 3 ca es treated in 1931. This large increase in the number of ca e dealt with i a \Von Ierful testimony to the value of the work which i being carried out by mcmbers of the Brigade for the public. The demand on the Brigade appear to be constantly increa ing; thi throw a greater train on the unit, which can only be met by increa ed member and effici ncy. I ha\'e already shown that our member have increa ed, and I believe that generally the efficiency is al 0 teadily advancing. There were 25,279 attendance of one hour or m ore at i\Til lIo. pitals, Clinics, and \ Velfare Centres, undertaken by member of Nur ing Di\-i ions, compared with 13,095 in 1931. Thi valuable work carried out by the Nursing Divi ions i fully dealt with in the comprehen ivc report by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, for who e whole-heart d upport and devotion to duty I am greatly indebted. The very large numb r of inspections which she has carried out, and the per onal intere. t he has taken in so many divi ion ha undoubtedly had the effect of increa ing their efficiency and zeal for their work. 247 Motor Ambulances are operated by Corp and Di,·i ion, 'h . d compare dWIt 216 '111 1931. Th ese am b u 1ance carne MBULANCE 74,613 patients, compared with 80,586 in 1931. The reported TRANSPORT. mileage is 783,788. The value of this work in a11e\-iating suffering must be very great.

The road patrol duty is being taken up with increa ing enthu ia m in all parts of the country when this work i needed. From report I have received, the number of patrols and the mileage covered have greatly increa cd. Owing to the inevitable increase of road accident on account of the greater number of vehicles on the road, and their high r p ed, thi duty will require even greater attention in the future. The eriou nature of the injurie when accidents occur requires great kill in affording " fir t aid)), and from what I have heard I am ati fied that member of the Brigade fully realize their responsibilities in thi r p ct and are doing their utmost to meet them by increasing efficienc'\. From what I have heard, their work in this direction has been grea tly comm nded. A I mentioned in my last report, this duty involves great acrific, and it i carried out largely on holidays and therefore those who carry it out have to give up their own lei ure hours for the purpo~ . ?\o fewer than 14.,136 road accident were treated by Brigade per onnel, and t.he figur to hand how that motor ambulances travelled 53,501 mile conve Ting tho e injured to hospital, or to their homes. This compare with 11, 59 road accidents in 1931. Throughout the country there are 1,021 First Aid Post in charge of units of the Brigade. This compare with 688 in 1931, and 550 in 1930. It will therefore be seen that the members of the Brigade are nobly meeting thi new demand on their services. There are 91 Roadside Hut er cted, and staffed week-ends by Brigade personnel during the motoring sea on.

l11ilitary Hospitals Reserve.-The total strength of this Reserve is 1,554 warrant officers, nOl1-commis ioned officer, and privates, excluding specialist .

Voluntary A1'd Detaclml,ellts .-There are 254 Voluntary Aid Detachments, with a total trength of 8,013, of which 1,700 are :'IIobile member. ACCOUNTS. I have carefully studied the accounts submitted by the various Corps and Divisions. I can only repeat my remark in my last report that I have been greatly struck by the strenuou efforts which have been. made to raise locally the considerable amount of money required to carry out the work of the Brigade. The large amount collected' in these hard times is a proof of the appreciation of the public of the valuable work which is being carried out in their intere ts. In almo t all cases the Corps and Division have lived within their mean, and have been able to show a balance credit.

I am glad to be able to report that the work of the Brigade in most districts has been well recognized by the Iunicipal Authorities, Chief Constables, and other local authoritie . Their support i of great value, and does much to bring the value of the work before the public. I also would like to thank the Pre for the help it ha given in making known the work of the Brigade, and in many cases for it a si tance in raising fund to enable our member to carryon their service. MUNIOIPAL SUPPORT .

OBITUARY. It is with great regret and with real ympathy with the relatives that I have to report the death of Assi tant ommis ioner J. Arlidge, No.5 District. Dr. Arlidge during his long service rendered mo t valuable assistance to the Brigade in the County of tafford hire. CONCLUSION. In conclusion I am plea ed to ay that in every direction the work of the Brigade has steadily advanced. In the past year of unexampled industrial depression it is highly sati factory to be able to report increa ed number and greater ervice rendered. The efficiency of the Brigade is steadily advancing; this is in a great measure due to the valuable and unselfish assistance afforded by the Medical Profession, without which such progress would be impossible. I must finally thank all members of the Brigade for their loyal and efficient support and for the exemplary manner in which they have carried out their arduous duties. This report largely deals with figures, but these figures are a wonderful cestimony of the valuable work which is being carried out by the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the good of humanity. (Sgd .) JOHN DUNCAN, Major-General, Chief Commissioner.

Report of the Lady Superintendent=in ... Chief SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1932.

During the year I carried out the following inspections : No.1 Di trict: East Ham, Harrow, Beckton, West Ham, Bromley-byBow, Ealing, and Southern Railway (Southern) Nursing Divisions. No.2 District: ( omerset) Minehead Nursing Division; (Hants) Bournemouth, We tbourne, outhbourne, and the Guide Nursing Divisions; (Oxfordshire) Banbury J. ur ing Divi ion. No.3 (Western) District: the Birmingham Corp, comprising Bourneville, Central, Edgbaston, Erdington, Han worth, Imperial Chemical Industries, foseley, Nelson, 1 ewhall entenar ,Pharmacy, and \Vinchester House ursing Divisions.

I al 0 attended a large Church Parade at Hereford, and the V.A.D. Competition at hi lehurst and al 0 at Leeds. ~he stan~ard of work i good and seem to improve as the years go by. ThIS I consIder is largely due to the amount of hospital work undertaken by our members.

HO~PITALS. The number of attendances at the Civil Hospitals during thIS year shows a very marked increase, which is most satisfactory. The ~otal number of dutie detailed from my office is 6,245, as against 4,841 m 1931. It is very gratifying that the members are taking greater advantage. of the p~ivilege extended to them by so many of the hospitals. The ~xpenence gamed is, of course, invaluable and the Matrons of the hospIta~s are unanimous in the praise they give to our members. H~SPIt~ls attended in the London Area are: Charing Cross, which heads the lIst WIth 1,642 attendances; the London, at which 1,291 attendances were ma~e; the Royal Free, the Middlesex, the Royal London OphthalmIc, Croydon General, the Royal, Richmond, St. Mary Abbots, St. James, Balham, Wilson Cottage, Mitcham, Harrow General, King B

The number of Girl Guide camps attended thi year was . 75, with an equal number of member de.tailed f?r thi duty.

SIR, As Commissioner in charge of o. 1 District I have again the honour of forwarding my Annual Report for the year ending December 3 1 t, 1932, which I venture to think you will find satisfactory.

The present strength of the District is as follows : -

There were 1,52 new members enrolled during 1932, so the wastage wa. 19 per cent. This high percentage is, I think, greatly accounted for by rea on of the abnormal number struck off 1931 B.F.Is. through being only two years" X E." The following new Divisions have Ambulance.-120 121 122

'Yhile there is no outstanding event to chronicle, the spirit of keenness in the work is still very much to the fore, and I have been able to welcome two new Divisions this year-one Ambulance and one Nursing. " These Divisions have come into being right on the outskirts of the geographical zone, and we now have five such almost on the boundary limit. "In addition to this, plans are being made to tackle, in the near future, the problem of the new housing estates, of which there are two very large examples in my Area-these should, in -the course of time, ensure a welcome addition to the personnel. " I am pleased to be able to state that our numbers remain practically the same as last year, which, in view of the new regulations 1'e efficiency, must be considered as satisfactory. " Most of the Divisions have been inspected during the course of the year, with good results, and it is pleasant to be able to record, in connection with this side of the work, the additional interest displayed by the r epresentatives of the various Local Authorities. " On the competitive side the entries for the Brigade and Area events constituted a record.

Copy of report from Assistant Commissioner, Captain A . C. \\'hite Knox, M.e. , ~I B., NORTHER AREA:" I have the honour to present the Annual Report on the work of the ... Torth ern Area for the year 1932. " The numbers in the Area are steadily increasing. Two new Tursing Divisions have been formed; No. 72 Tudor (Enfield) and N"o. 74 Finchley and outhgate; also one Cadet Division : Homsey British Legion. " To these new Divisions the Area offers hearty welcome and best 'w ishes for the future. " The result of these additions is that there is a net increase in the Area of 106 members. " As a result of r esignations and transference to Brigade Reserve, th ere are several new Officers in command of Divisions and I am happy to say that their work, in all cases, is most satisfactory. Many duties have been inspected during the year, and I have always found the men smartly turn ed out and attentive to their duties. Divisions are now devoting more time to drill and the result is a distinct improvement in the moving of the men in public. " The Area inaugurated a Field Day during the summer at Alexandra Palace, and the results were so good that something on a larger scale is to be attempted this year. " Both nurses and men enjoyed tent-pitching, collecting wounded, and many other exercises. " The Area was splendidly r epresented amongst the District Competition winners, and this has done much to foster practice in Competition work. " Surprise visits on Practice Nights show members keenly interested in the finer points of First Aid work.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year 1932 . In the County of Berkshire there are now 10 Ambulance Divisions, 3 Nur ing Divisions, and ·4 Cadet Ambulance Divisions; the personnel being 324 men, 52 women, and 95 boys, making a total of 471 as compared with 376 in 1931. . The holding of the TO. 2 District Finals at Windsor was much appreciated, and aroused much interest in the neighbourhood, as well as affording us a welcome opportunity of meeting our colleagues from other counties. We in this county wish to thank you, Sir, for so kindly coming down to Bracknell and explaining the importance of Ambulance training to a large meeting there. All ranks of the Brigade in Berkshire have carried out their duties in a very efficient manner during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. G. OSBORN, County Commissioner.

LANCE BRIGADE.

Members of this Division are drawn from a scattered rural area; and many of them have to travel several miles to attend Lectures and Drills. During the year all Divisions have maintained a. high stan?ard of effic~ency, and carried out Public Duty and other routine work With enthUSiasm and kll~. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Members of the Medical Staff who so willingly and unselfishly devote much tim.e in lecturing and exa~ining the Divisions; without their help the work of the Bngade could not be carned on. I welcome the appointment of Dr. vv. Hutton as County urgeon. Rev. C. Cousens Petch, the Corps uperintend ent of th e hellenham orps, has gained the distinction of being appointed a Chaplain of the Order. At the No.2 District Competitions held at 'Windsor on 21st ::'Iay, 1932, a team from the Friendly Societies' Division-Cheltenham orps- repre ented the County and won the District Trophy-the Oxo Cup . In the Final Competitions for the Dewar Shield in London the same team was placed 7th. On 20th July a County Inspection was held in Sandford Park, Ch elte nham; Colonel J. L. Sleeman (the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Oyersea ) was the Inspecting Officer. The ::'Iayor and l\Iayoress of heltenham, the ounty ontroller of the B.R.C.S., and other distinguished visitors were pre ent. The Parade wa witnessed by a large and interested crowd. Colonel leeman expressed his pI asure not only at the excellent turn-out but also at the sma~tne s o~ the Parade. He commented on the large number of Brigade l\Iember With serVIce of fifteen year and over present on Parade. . . I am afraid that the valuable services rendered by the Bngade to the community is not yet fully realized by the general public; and therefore sufflcient financial support is not forthcoming in certain areas of the County. But I am sure that the great work being done by all ~Iembers will be rewarded by more support as time goes on. I congratulate all ranks on the good progress made during the year, and thank them for their loyalty and support. I have the honour to be, lr, Your obedient se n 'ant, •\.

I'have the honour to report for the information of the Chief Commis ioner that the total enrolled strength in the County of Hampsh ire at t.h e end of 1932 was 1,16 comprised as follows : County H.Q. Staff 6 Ambulance Officers and members 552 Nursing Officers and members 320 Cadets, Boys and Girls 290 1,168 Total During the year we have added two Ambulance Divisions, four Nursing Divisions, and two Cadet Divisions to our strength, each of which are now fully organized and likely to thrive. . , . Every Division has been inspected, and found in good order, whllst on the occasIOn of the Annual Rally and Church Parade at Aldershot on Sunday, 3rd July, we were inspected by the Assistant Chief Commissioner, Colonel G . A. Ioore, C.M.G., D.S. O., M.D., on behalf of the Chief Commissioner. It was noted with pleasure by a ll ranks that a favourable report was afterwards rendered by him to the Chief Commissioner. Lady Perrott, R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent in Chief, subsequently inspected at Bournemouth all the local Nursing and Cadet Divisions. Public Duties have been carried out energetically throughout the year, whenever the services of the Brigade were invited either by the Police Authorities or by the many organizations connected with sport or entertainment.

DISTRICT.

The recorded casualties dealt with number 5,580, but this number falls far short o f the actual numbers attended to by individual members of the Brigade during the year. Accident.s in the homes, workshops, streets, etc., that receive first aid treatment, even when of a serious nat.ure, are frequently unrecorded. The adequate staffing of several beach-huts, and the provision of First Aid Posts and Patrols ent.ailed an enormous number of attendances on duty, and these services were most willingly undertaken. In addition, Football, Dirt-track, Ice-rinks, Tattoos, Theat.res, Clllemas, and Bank Holidays all called for many hours of duty from Ambulance and 1\ursing Officers and members. During the visit of the Royal Agricultural ociety to Southampton in July, an all-day and lllght se rvi ce was maint.ained in the temporary Hospital. Several Molor Ambulances, either owned by Or manned by the Brigade, were usefully employed carrying scores of injured or sick on their errands of mercy. The County and other Brigade Competitions were well attended, and a creditable <1cgrce of efhclCncy was displayed. I mu t. testify to the loyal and hearty assistance that I have r eceived from Officers and members of all rank::. throughout the year.

All the Division in the County were inspected by myself or by my County Officer, F. Dearle. The inspect.ion of the Oxford Corps was held on the ew College Cricket Ground by kind permission of the \Varden of the College. On previous occasions the inspection has been held in a Drill Hall. The change of venue was found to be a g.reat improvement : there was plenty of room for company and stretcher drill, whlle the pavilion made an excellent temporary ho pital for the injured. It is hoped that we may be allowed to use this ground again in 1933 . . Th~ Banbury Divi ion wa in pected on the Village Green at dderbury, by the J{Jn.d lI1vitation of the Pre ident of the Division, Colonel _ orris. The in pection, Wll1Ch took place immediately after the conclusion of a Church Parade in the fine old Parish Church, attracted large numbers of spectators. Before marching back to Banbury the men were kindly entertained by Colonel Norris. ~he usual duties such as attendance at St. Giles ' Fair, Flower hows, Point-toP.omt Races, Football Matches, etc., have been sati factorily performed, Tursing SIsters being on duty and the Ambulance being provided on many occasions. Alth?ugh our Motor Ambulance has only been in use for ix month it has conveyed 87 c~ses and has travelled 1,217 miles; the receipts have more than covered the runnmg expenses.

The members of the Banbury Nursing Divisions did 459 hours duty aL Lhe HarLan General Hospital. The J\Iatron reported most favourably on their work. During the year the Oxford Corps have obtained new Headquarters, which, though in orne re pects an improvement, are not as large a we require. \Ve are still on the look-out for a more convenient position and building with a garage adjoining for the Motor Ambulance. I have to record with deep regret the death of Dr. J. C. R . Freeborn, who was for many years the mainstay of Ambulance work ingeneralm tlus county, and of the Oxford Corps in particular. His loss 'was greatly felt when hc retired from the Brigade five years ago, but he continued to how great interest 10 the work until his end came. He was held in sincere affection and esteem bv all ranks . I also regret to have to record the death of Dr. S. o\'enton, who was for some years A sistant Commissioner for Oxfordshire. It is satisfactory to be able to report that all the Divi. ions arc in a fairly good financial position, especially those in which Flag Days are held . On the whole, the Brigade in this County has had a uccessful year. Great lI1Lerc-.;t has been shown by all ranks. The strength and ei1iciency of all units has been fully maintained, although this i often a matter of great dlfflculty 111 the smaller Divisions, only overcome by the prai eworthy and continuous elIorts of their Officers, Our relations with the Police ha\'e been most cordial. Finally I agam wi h to express my sincere thanks to the members of the County taff for their great help, and to all the Officers, men, and nurs10g sistcrs of the Oxfonl County District for their loyal support. I have the honour to be, .Ir, Your obedient sen'ant, \Y. E . ACDLAND, County ommissioner for Oxfordshire. COU ... TY OF

THE CHIEF COl\fl\IISSIONER, ST. JOH N AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the County of Somer<;et, for the year ending 31st December, 1932 . The strength on 31st December was as follows : ::\[embers . Diyi"ions. Ambulance l-l 379 Tursing 3 n ..j. County Staff 17 455 Being a net increase for the year of 2 Divisions and 30 members . Owing to the alteration of the boundaries in the rban District of Highbridge and Burnham-an-Sea, the recently formed division there has not yet beco me an active unit, therefore having received no records to date I regret not being able to include them in this return. An effort will be made to include them in the next report. From the returns just received I note the calls for the services of members of the Brigade continue to increase. Ambulance members have rendered" Aid" to 4,414 persons, removed by Ambulances 2,471 cases, and in doing so covered 25,880 mile ; answered emergency calls to road accidents, and conveyed 252 injured persons, covering 1 ,323~ miles. Members of ursing Divisions have attended 712 cases and record 903 Hospital and Clinic attendances; a lso their attendances on Motor Ambulances with female and child cases, show more interest is being taken in this very important part of the Transport work. . I cannot speak too highly of the good work done by all Officers and members connected with the Transport Department in this County, their one object seems to

be" efhciency ". All ambulances inspected by me . .,vere found in perfect order, and rcttdy for any emergency, and not only that but divisions are making every possible effort to raise funds for the purchase of new and the most up-to-date Ambulances ",hen they are required. The Bridgwater Division, not content with the" Ford" Ambulance loaned them by the IIome Service Ambulance Committee, rai ed funds and purchased one of the latest" Austin" .Ambulances, the Dedication Service of which was conductecl at St. ':\Iary's Church, Bridgwater, on 23rd ~lay by the Lord Bishop of Taunton (H.ight Rev. G .•\. . Hollis), and was attended by a very large congregatIOn, which II1clucled the ::\Iayor and Corporation, members of all Divisions In the ounty, and the general body of townspeople. I am pleased to report the Somerset ounty Council has again made grants of money to Di\'isions towards the purchase and upkeep of ambulances, also that with the exceptIOn of one am bulance, o\.\'necl by the Bath City Council and used in connectJon With their Fire BrIgade, al1 ambulances in this county are run by voluntary units such as the St John l\mbulance Bngade. The Somer')cL County ,\mbulance and ::\ursi ng Competitions were held at }Iinehead on 12th ?lIarell. The" Lewis Loydl :'Iemorial " Cup bell1g won by the illinehead Ambulance Team, and the" Laura '1 idman Memorial" Cup by the \Veston-super:'!are 1 'un'lng '1 cam I wI')11 to rec.ord my sincere thanks to members of the Brigade at :\linehead for their great kindness In staging the Competition and entertaining the visiting teams, judges, and friends The :'!lI1ehead .\mbulance and \Yeston Xursing Teams competed in the Xo. 2 DistrIct ompetItJons at \Vindsor. A Conference of Officer" of orps and Divisions in the County was held at \Vestonsuper-:'lar on 21st June, it being well attended by representatives from all Divisions, man\, subjects of general wterest were dI')cussed and dates for Competitions, etc., for 1933 arranged. The InspectIon of the ::\Iinehead ~ Tur 'ing Division was very kindly held by Lady Perrott, the Lady. uperIntendent in hicf, on 6th April, and all other Divisions (wi th the exception of Ifighbridge and Burnham Divisions) were conducted by myself, reports of which have been forwarded . I forward hereWith for your information a special report of the Bath City Division which will show the very ac.tive way they carryon the work of the Brigade in that cit\'. Great credlL is due to all Officers and member of that Division for the time ancl care they give to the crippled clllidren who go to their City for treatment at the Orthop<ecllc lIospItal. I am delighted with the splendid spirit that exists between Divisions, also the happy comradeshIp that IS found bet\\ een individual member at all times, from one end of the county to the other. :'Iembers ready at all times to do duty not only in their own town, but willlI1g to help other Divisions with their Carnivals, Fetes, etc. And to all Officers and members I very sincerely say thank you for the support you have given me cluring the past year, and in conclusion I say, with your continued help, It WII! gl\'e me the greatest pleasure to carryon and endeavour to further the 'work of the Brigade 111 thiS county. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN S. Cox, County Commissioner for Somerset. COUXTY OF WILTSHIRE.

I have the honour to submit my report lor 1932 . . All Divisions have been inspected by me and I have found them smart and correct 111 their uniform and drill, and the Ambulance tests I set them showed them to be efficient at their work.

r particularly wish to bring to your attention the splendid work done by the Swindon Ambulance and ursing Divisions in the way of nursing in the homes of the poor. Their services are being sought after more and more by the doctors in the town, and r hear nothing but praise about them from the Medical Profession, who greatly appreciate the skilled services they are able to render. r enclose separate sheets showing a record of the work done during the year. Earlier in the year r had the misfortune to lose my County Officer, Capt. F . Holgate Smith, M.B.E., who removed to orthampton. He had been a great help to me in the Southern part of the County and r shall mi s his services very much indeed. r have been fortunate enough, however, to obtain a successor in the person of County Officer Sinnett from Shropshire and Hereford, who ha come to reside in \ iltshire, and he has quickly identified himself with the work and 'will be of great help to me. r regret not to be able to report the formation of any new Divisions but Ambulance work is very much alive in the County, especially among the railway men in the various towns. It is regretted that at present they c.annot see their way clear to linking up with the Brigade. However, they do a great deal of public work as it is in towns where the Brigade is not represented. r have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. R . TOWERZEY, County Commissioner for \Viltshire, Hon. Serving Brother, Order of St. John of Jerusalem .

Road Patrols.-Road Patrol duty is being taken up with an increa~ing enthusiasm in those parts of the District where this work is needed, and I have to r port a very great addition to the extent of road covered by tho'e carrying ou L th i. important and increa ingly necessary duty. The following particulars convey very in3.dequately the extent of thi::; valuable piece of pu blic service : umber of miles patrolled 7,330 Tumber of A/Officers and men on duty 3,1 '2 l,31G umber of L/ /Officers and SI ters on duty 279 Number of Cadets on duty umber of days on which duty was done 750 umber of cases treated 383 21 Number of Road Huts, Tents, or Aid Po ts Public DlIties.-The amount of public duty carried out during thiS year by the "arious Corps and Divisions in the Di tnct shows a large increase in e\ ery direction . The demand for the services of the members of the Bngade is growing very considerably, not only in the large centres of population. but 111 outly1l1g cll::.tricts. and I am proud to say that the Brigade is doing yeoman en'ice in responding to thi" demand. It is not alone at large public functions that our members arc to be found, but at minor events of every character where their help is likcly to be needed. The sacrifice of time, money, and energy invoh'cd in carry1l1g out this work j ;; deserving of the highest praise, and I take thIS opportunity of paying tnbute to the fine spirit of those engaged in these duties. Special reports on the \Vhitsuntide Processions, and the Lancashire Cotton Pageant have been furnished to me by Corps Supt. \V. E. -aylor, of ?lIanchester and Salford Corps, which will give some idea of the work performed on these occasIOns: During the \Vhitsuntide Proce sions in Manchester Corps Ofllc rs. 20 D1VI 'lOnal Officers, and 249 other ranks took duty at 33 First AId Stallons, and 236 ca es "erc treated during \\'hit-Friday and Monday. District Officer Col. C. H. S. Redmond. T.D., LB., and Corps urgeon :\Jajor E. '. Burt Hamilton, M.C., visited all the Stations wlt.h Corps Supenntcndcnt. Taylor. This yearly public duty carried out by this Corps is a very Important and valuable service. Lancashire Cotton Pageant, Belle Vue, Jlanchester.-This was held from 25th June to 9th July, and there were 97 ca es treated. five of a serious nature. There were 14 Officers and 264 other ranks on duty during the period the Pageant lastcd. Corps Supt. F. Lomax, M.B.E., Bolton Corps, rcported that the 'orps staffed 22 First Aid Stations during the School Processions in Bolton, in ::'Iay, and that 2 cases were treated. This is another leading instance of good service to the community performed by our members. Route Jlarches.-There have been no Route 1Iarches carried out thIS year, but arrangements are being made to revive these helpful functions during the summer of 1933. Church Parades.-There were a considerable number of hurch Parades held during the year, and I had the privilege of attending those held at \Vesthoughton, Liverpool, Manchester, and Colne, the latter being specially impressive, as it was held in a park on the outskirts of the town, and attended by a large and representative gathering of the public, in addition to Brigade members drawn from a large area. I look upon these services as of particular value and service to the movement generally. Combined ParadGs.-The following combined Inspections were held : South East Lancashire Corps and Divisions.-On 4th June Col. C. 1. Ellis, Surgeonin-Chief of the Brigade, inspected the South-East Lancashire Corps and Divisions at Leigh. In my District Order of 28th July Colonel Ellis's report is published and a copy was sent to Headquarters. Assistant Commissioner VY. l\Iaxwell Reekie, O.B.E., J.P., was in command, assisted by District Officers J. H. Cleal, Col. C. H. S. Redmond, T.D., M.B., Capt. R. 1. Poston, M.D., and Capt. A.

Tew Headqual'tel's.-On 3rd Dec.em.ber the Countess of Sefton formally opened the Headquarters of the AssoClailon and Brigade at 22 pper Duke treet, LIverpool, m the presence of a distinguished gathering head d by the Lord and Lad y Mayoress of Liverpool. Thi~ was the culmination of long and zealous efforts on the part of the members of the LIverpool Corps to provide a suitable building to hou se its activlbes, and all those who have worked for this end are to be congratulated on the success of theIr work. Throughout the District many Units of the Briaade are workinO' \\'llh enerrrv and zeal to acquire funds to obtain suitable bulldlllas for their work . D " The . depres~ion through which we are now pa ing has made such efforts exceedmgly dIfficult, but the keenness and enthusiasm of our members are proof against pessimism. n~w

Area Conje1 ences.-During the year a scheme of Conferences with the Ambulance ursing Officers in the different areas into which the District is divided was maugurate~, and has proved very valuable. ~t these mformal. Co?ferences the Officers are invited to bring forward any subject of mterest to the Dlstnct and are asked to suggest ideas for the improvement of the movement generally. . The scheme has had. the advantage of bringing the members of the District Staff llltO closer contact \nth the problems and difficulties that confront the averaO'e Corps or Divisional Officer. t> Yp. to date, these meetings have taken place in six out of the seven Areas of the Dlstnc.t, .and at each of these I have been present, together with the Assistant ComrrusslOners and District Officers attached to the Area. .1 look forward with confidence to good results from this scheme and feel that it will benefit the organization in many ways.

This is extremely gratifying, and I 'would express to Mrs. Tweedale my sense of gratitude for the work she has done, and is doing, in organizing and directing the V.A.D. movement in Lancashire. It IS a heavy task, but the results speak for themselves. Appended IS the report : BROOKLANDS, ROCHDALE. 27th January, 1933. \Y. G. S~!ITH, Esq., O.B.E. 39, Flshergate, Preston. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report on the \Vomen's Voluntary Aid Detachment.s in the 1\0. -1 (Lancashire) District for the year ending 31 t Oct.ober, 1932 . There are 61 Detachments registered at the \Var Office with a total strength of 1,50-1. The Course of ,pecial Lectures, kindly given by Professors, Physicians, and ,urgeons of dlstmci.Jon, have been well attended and much appreciated by the Officers and members. l\Iany of these lectures have been illustrated by lantern slides and have been very interestin a and mstructi\"e. On 16t.h April the East Lancashire Detachments paraded for inspection at the Headquarter:; of the 6th BattalIon, The Lancashire Fusiliers, Rochdale, by kind permIssion of t.he Commanding Officer, Col. ill. orbury. Thlrty- ig ht Detachments paraded with a strength of 63 Officers and 569 other ranks. Total str~ngth on parade 635. There are 501 :Jlobile members and 2 pecialists. The Inspecting Officers were Col. J. D . Richmond, D.S.O., O.B.E. (D.D.:;\I.S. "-est. ern Command), on behalf of the \Yar Office, and Col. Sir \Villiam Coates, K.C.B., C.B.E., F.R.C.S. ( ounty Controller) on behalf of the Joint Council. They ,\ere recel\-ed with a general salute followed by inspection in line and march past. The adct Band played for the salute and march past. .\ \\'ell-eqUlpped hospital ward was pro\-ided with a trained Sister in charge, a rest station \\ here hot drinks and food were served, a First Aid Station where the Thomas' Splint. was applied, and a kitchen where the hospital cooks supplied a ' -ariet. y of cooked dishes. Members were detailed to the ward, rest station, and kitchen, the remainder working in the 1arae hall from cards given to them by the Inspecting Officers. After inspecting the work and questioning the yarious members both Col. Richmond and Col. Sir \Yilliam Coates addressed the parade and complimented all present on the smartness in marching, the work done, and the smart turn out. On 23rd April the \Vest Lancashire Detachments paraded for inspection at the Headquarters of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Preston. Twent.y-one Detachments paraded with a strength of 49 Officers and 287 other ranks. Total strength on parade 336. There are 228 Mobile members and 25 Specialists. . Col. J. D.

The band of the Loyal rorth Lancashire Regiment played for the salute and march past, by kind permission of Col. \V. J. Plant, the Commanding Officer. A large room was excellently fitted up as a hospital ward with trained Sisler in charge and the kitchen was also well equipped, the hospital cooks displaying many nicely cooked dishes. Members were detailed for special work in the warel, the remaining members working in the large hall. The Inspecting Officers (Col. Richmond and Col.

TWEED \LE.

Geneyal.-The year that is past has been both strenuous and, I '\.enlure to think, exhilarating for all members of the District taff. Iy aim has been that every unit of the Brigade in Lancashire 'hould have a visit from a member of the Staff during the year and whLlst it has not been po 'slble to carry out this fully, o'wing to alterations and r esignations in the 'taff, a large advance has been made towards this ideal. During the year the District Staff was depleted by the resl~nation from the Active List of Assistant Commissioners 'Voodcock and Fowler Jones, the departure of Assistant Commissioner ,V. C. Bentall, O.B.E., on leave of absence, and the lamented deaths of District Officers W. J. F. Washington and Dr. .\ . R Taylor, the loss of the latter being a heavy blow, as his zeal and enthusiasm had marked him during his short period of office as one who was likely to do much for the movement. It is with regret that I record the deaths of Dr. Maud Cunningham and Dr. 'Ydl ett, both Divisional Surgeons with a fine Brigade career, whose loss \\'Ill be sadly fell in the organization. Very great pleasure was felt throughout the district on the honour, conferred by His l\1ajesty the King, on Mrs. Tweedale, our Lady District ,'upennlendent, wbose splendid work for so many years has aided so greatly the budding up of the Brigade in this part of England. Throughout the District I find a spirit which moves me to admiraLton, for all ranks of the Brigade are carrying on with the work under circum stances of speCial difficulty. Probably no area of England has been more hardly hit by the world depression than Lancashire, but this is not reflected in the work or conduct of lhe members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. I feel that 1932 has been a year of progress, and for this I tender my very sincere and heartfelt thanks, in the first instance, to the lady and gentlemen who compo e my District Staff, whose leadership has been worthy of our great cause; then t.o aU ranks who by their enthusiasm and loyalty provide inspiration for those whose task it is to administer. Finally, I would like to express how much I owe and how greatly I am indebted to the wise and never-failing counsel and advice of Col. Trimble, our Inspecting Officer, to whom I tender my admiration and gratitude. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, WM. G. SMITH, Commissioner, No.4 (Lancashire) District, Commander of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

There seems to have been no advantage to these Counties in making them a separate area for administrative purposes. The 'w ork of both Ambu lance and ursing Units has on the whole been carried out yery 'well under the somewhat chilling conditions of segregation. In the No. IV District Competitions the following trophies have been won by the Kendal Tursing Division, viz. the" C. J. Trimble" 'hield and the" Bessie Trimble" Cup, whilst the" Officers Peace" Trophy fell to Lady .\mbulance Officer illiss . Gib son and the" Lytham " Vase to Ambulance Sister !\Irs. E. Lumley, both members of the Kendal Tursing Division. The" Cadet" cup was obtained by the Kendal Cadet Nursing Division. In County Competition the Egremont Tursing Division annexed the " Collinson" Bowl. The l\Iedical Comforts Depot at Kendal continues to fuLfil a useful service to the community and made 7 1 loans of appliances to those in need of them in the course of the year. There are 26 members of the M.H.R., all being in Cumberland, whilst each County has one V.A.D. with an equal personnel of :\Iobiles 2, Immobiles 20, total 22 ; these are situated at I\:endal and Cockermouth respectively. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

STAFFORDSHIRE. 31st December, 1932.

THE CmEF CO;lc\IISSIOXER, ST. JOH~ A:-'lBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I hu\'c the honour to submit my rcport for the year 1932 . The strength of the District is : Staff . 38 Ambulancc Dj"isions 9,7.f9 ~urslllg Di\ ISlons 2,656 Cadets 97 Total

13,3.f0

An increase of a thousand upon thc previous year.

Tral1sport .-One of the great activities of the Brigade is that of transport and naturally it entails a hea\')' expenditure in the upkeep of mbulances. I appeal to t.hc publIc for generous support for this service. In additIOn to t.he transport of people who are ill or ha,-e met with an accident, some of our Ambulanccs help the ho ' pitals by carrying backwards and forwards bcb\'ccn home and hospitals cases which do not require constant attention, thereby relie\-ing a few of the beds for which the demand usually exceeds the supply. Enormous dIstances are co\'ercd by our Ambulances. One Division with a strength of 52 mo\'cd .f02 cascs and travelled .f,739 miles. Flist .lzd T'e/erans .-Burslem, the mot.her town of the Potteries, claims to possess t.he Hurd oldcst Dinsion in thc Brigade, and possibly t.he oldest member in point of service in the country. Pri,"at.e Mansfield has bcen a mcmber e,'er since the Division was registered. Although 76 ycars of age, he attcnds drills and duties every week, and he has never missed an Inspection. Therc is also on the roll Corps Officer Hancock, with a membership record of thirty-t.hrce years. One of t.he fcat.ures of the S.E. Area 'V.R. Yorks Annual Inspection at Doncaster was t.he pre entat.ion of the Order's ervice Medal to Ambulance Sister Mrs. Kirby, aged 84, Denaby ursing Division. Cases Treated.-I am not in a position to record the actual number of cases in which First Aid has bcen rendered, but some !.f,000 persons were treated in one area alone, and there arc cleven areas in this District. Public Dllty.-The public dut.ics undertaken have been eminently satisfactory, amongst t.hem being : Royal Visit and Girl Guides' Rally at Trentham, 25th June: 196 all ranks were on duty in charge of District Officer Evans. Divisional Surgeon Simpson, who was on duty, reported to me upon the cxpert rendering of First Aid, and particularly WIth regard to the transport of Cripple Girl Guides to and from thc Rally.

Fisher, O.B.E., M . D., and Capt. Armstrong. 726 all ranks attcnded Dinne cn-ice at St. :'Iartin's Church, by invitation of the Yicar and \Yarc.1ens. The VIcar conduct.cd t.he en-ice, and the Very Rev. the Dean of Lincoln preachcd to the members. The Inspection took place on the Lindum Cricket Ground at Lincoln. I was as. hted during my inspcction by Assistant Commissioner H. C. Else, Chie.f of t.aff, Dist.rict Surgeon apt. \Yood , and Mrs. Birkbeck, Lady District Supefl n tcndcn l. ::'1y St.aff Officers report.ed favourably and altogether I was very pleased indeed, and I congratulatcd the two .\ ssist.ant Commissioners. Intcrest d spectat.or were the :'Iayor, t.he Sheriff, and the Chief Constable of Lincoln ity, the IIigh heriff, and the Chic.f Constable of the County. The l~Jght lIon. t.he Earl of Yarborough, p.e ., ] .P., F.S.A., K.] .ST.]., LordLleutcnant of the ollnty, arrh·cd at the close of my in pection, and took the Salute at thc :'Iarch Past.. His Lorcbhip, addrc ing the Parade, expressed his pleasure and complimented all ranks upon the (Treat. work which t.hey are doing in hi County. His Lordship thcn prcsented the" Else Trophy" to the Gainsborough Di\-ision, a number of the Order's .\ wards to members, and a Competition Shield to Col. Lambert upon his ret.iremcnt. as an .\ ssistant Commissioner. There \\as a large attendance of the general public when by permission of the , t.oke-on -Tr nt 1ty orporation I inspected the Korth taffordshire Area in the Park at: Tunstall on unday the 26th June. The Parade of 641 all rank was, in the absence of .A sistant Commissioner Dr. .ArllLlge t.hrough illness, in charge of District Officer Evans. \\"ith me durmg my in pection were County Surgeon Read and Divisional Surgeon lmpson . The lDspcction afforded me pleasure and I am satisfied with the excellent work that this .\rea is doing. The book and papers of the several Corps and Divisions were examined by an Officer whom I deputed for the purpose. I inspected t.he 't.aveley Corps accompanied by my Chief of taff and Assistant Commlssioner hambers on the 17th July on the Staveley \Velfare Ground. 43 all ranks were present.ed by Corps Supt. J. Hunter. This Corps maintains it.s high st.andard of efficiency. The books and records (reported upon to me by Assistant ommissioner Chambers) are well kept. I inspect.ed the heffield Corps i/c of Corps Supt. Hamer Russell, lI1.P., on the 20th August at Farm Grounds, Norfolk Park Road, Sheffield. \tVith me were Assistant Commissioner H. C.

Connell, President of the City Ambulance Comn1ittee. The Chairman of the ity \ Vatch Committee and the Chief Constable showed considerable interest in the Parade. I was much impressed with the turn-out. This is an excellent Corps doing an immense amount o.f work daily. Accepting the most cordial invitation of Alderman Humberstone, I visited, accompanied by my Staff Officers, the City mbulance Station. The Alderman caused a call to b e given for my inspection, when it was answered in 3 seconds.

A few minutes later a legitimate call 'w as received, and the .A mbulance was outside the gates in exactly 2 seconds. . I was greatly interested in the excellent arrangements at the CIty Ambulance Station. I inspected South Derbyshire Area at Heanor on aturday, 3rd September, at 4 p.m., on the econdary School Recreation Grounds. As i tant Commissioner Dr. Dobson presented -197 all ranks. Diyisional Supt. Daybell was in a large mea ure responsible for a first-class parade. . . , ... On Sunday, 23rd October, 1932, accompamed by my Chief of Staff, the DIstrIct Surgeon, and the Lady District uperintendent, I inspected on Doncaster H.ace Course 1,668 all ranks of the outh-Eastern .\rea \V.R. of Yorks. Assistant Commissioner J. J. Huey was in command, anu the parade was a record for the Area both in numbers and efficiency. At the close of the inspection by instructions from ~ t . John's Gate, I presented Vellum Yotes o£ Thanks a\yarded by the Order to 5 Corps and J)h'lsions In recognition o£ their excellent seryices in connection \\ ith the Bentley Disaster.

Staff.-Di trict Officer tanley C. Else (Distnct Treasurer) pass~d on th,e 5th September, belayed by eyeryone whose pr1\ Ilq~e .it was to kn.o\\ h1l11. In bls 4-1 years he crowded in a remarkable career. .\ DIYlSIonal Supennt.endenl of the Sheffield Corps, he took, on the outbreak of \\ar, a COmnl1'i Ion In the .\r111 ': and \~·a' terribly wounded, having thereafter to 11\'e lU a \\heelchalr ; nob\'lth~tandlng which he joined the District Staff and more brillIant than ever was the sen ICC he rendered to my District. . IvIr. Else was a Commander of the Order of St. John. He \\'as at one tl111e :\Iaster of the Farriers' Guild of London, and was a Freeman of the 'ity of London. In 1924, for services rendered to France, the Go\'ernment a\\'ardecl him La :'ledaille de la Reconnaissance Franc;aise-Vermell, and he was publicly lU\"cstcd by a member of the French Cabinet. The sudden death on the 9th January, 1932, of As istant Commls'iioner Harry Hulley, at a time, too, when he was working so well for the .\rea which hc conlrolled was a sad loss to me. In the death of Assistant Commissioner Capt. A . Ellison, of the "\Iidland .\rea W.R. of Yorks, I lose the services, most excellenlly rendered, of a \ alliable and hfelong member. Staffordshire has lost an outstanding Ambulance worker in the death on the 13th I ovember of Assistant Commissioner Dr. Arlidge. The follov,ring appointments have been made to my Staff : County Surgeon J. J. Huey as an Assistant Commissioner, 30.5.32. Corps Surgeon E. E. Dufty as a County urgeon, 2.9.32. Corps Supt. John Hunter as a District Officer, 2.9.32. Reporting a meeting held for the purpose of distributing certificates to members successful at re-examinations, the Yorkshire Evening Post said : "Wherever St. John Ambulance men foregather it is always interesting to consider how widely representative the movement is." Accidents in the home lead many people to join our ranks. The little mishaps of children at play call for the help of our people in no inconsiderable numbers. Increasing social consciousness makes men and women dislike being helpless in the face of accident and so they join the Brigade. . Having r egard to the increasing menace to life and limb on the roads . and III industry, it becomes ever the more my duty to thank the members of thiS great District for the whole-hearted manner in which they carry out a stupendous voluntary work, sacrificing themselves in no small measure in the doing. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. W. MALKIN, Commissioner, Knight of Grace, Order of St. J oho.

Owing to the kindness of Dr. M . M. Macintyre, who presented a tro'p~y in memory of his father, Dr. A. D. M . MaCIntyre of Consett, a new Competition has been organized on similar lines to that of the" Coroner Graham" Trophy. The Trophy was won by the Derwent Colliery Team . . .. I desire to record my sincere thanks to all County Officers, Corps, and DlvlSIonal Officers, and other ranks who have willingly co-operated in advancing the services of the Brigade during the pa t year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, STANLEY EMBLETON. Commander of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

Cadets (A mbulal1ce) : Craghead Colliery, lid-Durham orps. Tanfield Lea and E. Stanley, do. 'W est Hartlepool. New Ambulance Headquarters were opened at ConseU on the 30t~ January, 1932. The building is well arranged and will, no doubt, very greatly facIlItate the work both of the Association and the Brigade in that area. We are greatly indebted to the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, Lady Perrott, R.R.C., who reviewed the 'w hole of the ursing Division s in the two countIes, on unday, 10th July, 1932, at Gosforth. !he strength o~ the Parade was approxmlate~y 400, and the function has added sbmulus to the wterests of the 'work of the ~ur mg Divisions. The Annual County Church Parade took place at Durham Cathedral on the 18th September. Additional interest was gIven to the service by the pre 'enee of the Secretary-General of the Order, Sir Percival \\'llkinson, K.C.:'.l.G., C.B., who gave the address. The Lesson was read by the Rev . H . G. Hastmgs haddlck, 0 BE., T.D. (recently appoInted a Chaplain of the Order). The County Stall and other ranks wish to place on record their sincere thal!ks to the "ery ~ev . t~e Dean of Durham (Bishop Welldon ) and the Clergy, for t.helr valuable help In malnng thIs ervlce one of the most impressive that has been held In the .I.10rth of England. The Parade numbered 1,900 len, Nurses, and Cadets, and practically all the a\'ailable space 10 the Cathedral was filled. A Conference of Officers in the Area was held in ewcastle-on-Tyne on the 12th November, at which the County Commissioner presided . The attendance was good and the Agenda provided s.cope for .very us?ful discuss~on on Brigade \\ ork. The Road Service Scheme IS recelvmg serIOUS attentIOn and I hope that development in this branch of the work will take place this year. The District Competitions resulted as follows : Northumberland Bronze Shield: City Division, Xewcastle-on-Tyne Corps. Durham Bronze Shield: Horden Colliery Division. Yorkshire Bronze Shield and Silver Shield: Middlesborough Division. Colonel Palmer Challenge Trophy: Carl Div.; Ashington Coal o. Corps. Colonel F. W. Gibbon Bowl: St. Peter's Work Division, ewcastle-on-Tyne Corps. NURSING. Barras Trophy (2nd )'ea?'): Durham City Nursing Division. Potter Cup (Northumbe1'land): ot awarded-only 1 entry. Palmer Cup (Durham): Gateshead Fell, orth Durham Corps.. _. Ladies of Yorkshire Cup and Burdon Challenge Cup for the Dtstnct: I mgston Nursing Division, Hull Corps. The ,. Robert Anderson "Cup, awarded annually to the Ambulance DivIsion in the District showing the highest standard of all-round efficiency, is held by the Sunderland Eastern Division . The" Storey" Efficiency Cup, awarded on similar lines to the" Robert Anderso?-" Cup, is held by Western Division, Newcastle-on-Tyne Corps, and Y.P.I. NurSIn g Division, Hull Corps. The ,. Coroner Graham" Ambulance Challenge Shield Competition, open to Teams of Industrial Workers within the County of Durham, was won by Crookhall Colliery Team, the runners-up being Brandon Colliery" B" Team, who hold the North Mail Shield.

The usefulness of the BrIgade has agam been proved by the many duties undertaken by the members In addition to the usual weekly duties at Theatres, Football ?lIatches, etc, the members of the Hull Corps took duty for a week at the Annual Pleasure FaIr, when 297 ca es were treated. \Yhllst gOlllg about their daily vocation our Officers and members have treated 12,45-i cases, whllst 510 cases haye been remo\'ed with a mileage of 4,065 miles. The outstanding duty of the year has been performed by the Malton and Norton Ambulance Divi ion, who during the Typhoid Fever epidemic have transported 30 cases (which are included in the figures quoted above) to various Fever Hospitals m the area, and they also have to their credit 1,346 hours of duty at the Malton HospItal. Three members of the Division have also given Blood Transfusions. Their self-sacrificing devotion to duty has inspired the Malton Urban District Council to pass a specIal resolution at their meeting, as follows : " Copy of a resolution which the Council duly approved and confirmed at their meeting held on the 25th instant." (January, 1933). " Copy Resolution . " RESOLVED that the sincere appreciation of the Council of the valuable services periormed by the members of the Ambulance Brigade during the recent outbreak of typhoid fever in the district be recorded on the minutes of this meeting and that the Chairman of the Council be requested to communicate in suitable terms with the Au thori ties concerned." I am very pleased to be able to report that no member has suffered any ill-effect personally as a result of this very humane work. The work on the roads in the area has been steadily carried on, and 7,438 miles have been patrolled by members on cycles, as well as 43 First Aid Posts and 11 Huts being staffed each week. 174 cases were treated, many of a serious character. The Medical Comforts Depot at Hull has, again, been greatly appreciated by the sick. 206 articles have been loaned and our thanks are due to the Lady Officers and Ambulance Sisters who have attended daily to carryon this work.

THE

No. VI

T. JOHN AMBUL.\.NCE BRIGADE.

The Officers and members of the ursing Divi ions have done 1,116 dulies in Hospitals and Clinic. Eight of our members have attended Girl Guide Camps in different parts of lhe Area, and their ervices have been greaUy appreciated. It is with great pleasure I have to place on record the \'i it to Hull of the Chicf Commissioner, Major-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.;\LG., C.V.O., D.S.O ., on 26th l\Iay. In the afternoon he inspected some of the Road Hut in the Area and the Brigade Headquarters at Hull. In the e\'ening he in pected the Hull Corps and Beverley Di\'i ion. All the remaining Di\'i~ions in the Area have been inspected dunng the year. The strength of the \'arious Reserve ' is as follows ; A mblliance. XlIrsing. R. . Aux. Sick Berth 15 V.A.D.-~lobile ~4 :Military Hospital ~ Immobile 140 The Kingston Nursing Division, Hull Corps, have held the" Be\'an .. Cup and the . , Burdon" Cup for the year, and have also had the honour of compettn~ for th' " Perrott" Shield. The Young Peoples' In titute Kursing Division, Hull orps, had the honour and pleasure of tying with the Kewcastle \\'estern ~ -urslng DI\"lsion for the" torey " Efficiency Cup, and these Divisions have held it for ix month each. Early in April a Memorial Tablet to the memory of the late :\IaJor Hammer h.:y Johnston, O.B .E., was unveiled in the Bngade Headquarter' at Hull by 'Ilr. Terence John ton, his son. The Tablet and a il ver :\Iemorial Cup for com peb bOIl ha ' been presented by Mrs. Hammersley Johnston, widow of the late ou n t y ommlSsioner. It is again a pleasure to record our thanks to l\Ir. and :\lr5. Bilton, of Hull. who have during the year presented us with h\'o more Road Huls. ThIS makes four Huts presented by these good friends. These are a very \'aluable acqui 'ItlOn to our R03cl Sen'ice. During the year Lady Atkinson, A.R.R.C. (Lady County Officer), was appointed a Sen'ing Sister of the Order of St. John, and DI\'l lOnal Superintendent \V G. Le Gro\'e (Alexandra Dock Di\'i5ion, Hull Corps) a en'mg Brother. Both the c honours are well merited. The burden of unemployment is very manife t in the ,\rea, and Earles hlpbuild ing Co.-who had a good Division-have closed do\\'n and all their employees ha\'e been scattered, but we look forward optimistically to the day ' of renewed prospenty. In conclusion may I place on record my sincere appreciation of the loyalty and good will that has been so apparent during the past year, and also record my thanks to the County, Corps, and Divisional Officers, .C. Os, and members who ha \'e helped in any, and every, way to make the year just ten11lnated the success Il has been. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours obediently, "IV . T .•\.TKCt-:SON, County Officer III charge, East Riding of Yorkshire . NORTH RIDI TG OF YORK HIRE. PARKHURST, MlDDLESBROUGH. 4th February, 1933 THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULA 'CE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, The strength of the Brigade in the County Area was as follows ; 9 Ambulance Divisions (including 2 Sections) 487 4 ' ursing Divisions 96 13 1 Ambulance Cadet Division 1 Nursing Cadet Division

19 3~.

583 26 21

15 Grand Total . 630 These figures show a decrease of 25 Men and an increase of 5 Women and 2 Cadets.

DISTRICT.

153

The decrease in men is largely due to the operation of the regulation regarding inefficiency for two years, as this has enabled the Divisions to clear off much tt dead wood". On the other hand, there has been a gratifying number of recruits. Membership in Brigade Reserves was as follows ; R. ,A.S.B.R. lvI.H.R. V.A.D.

19 17 60 Women (8 Mobile) 36 Men (15 Mobile) In the Brigade Competitions the ~Iiddlesbrough Central Ambulance Division represented O. 6 District in the Final for the Dewar Shield and secured the fifth place. ew Road Huts have been erected as follows during the year ; Darlington Division One at Scotch Corner, Great orth Road . East leveland Division One on Guisborough-vVhitby Moor Road. ~Iiddlesbrough Central Division One at Cross Roads, 3 miles out of Iiddlesbrough. This makes a total of six Huts in the Torth Riding. 219 Road accidents have been attended, with a mileage for removals of 775. 590 Ca es have been removed, with a mileage of 5,847. Again the Eston Division Am bulance heads the list with over 4,500 miles. There are ~ l\lotor Ambulances worked by Divisions in the area, and 3 Medical Comforts Depots. I am glad to r~port the continued he.arty. co-op~ration receiv~d from the County and Borough Pollee who seem to appreciate Illcreaslllgly the services of the Brigade. The nature of the country in the Torth Riding makes it inevitable that the Dinsions are scattered and, in some cases, remote, and the difficulties of transport prevent III many cases very close touch amongst them. In spIte of thIS, however, even the isolated Divisions show a commendable keenne' and enthu iasm, and I feel that they are maintaining the high traditions of the Order. Agalll I offer grateful thanks to all Officers and Members for the willing assistance they gIve me at all times and for the happy spirit of service which so clearly alllma tes them. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRED, P. WILSON, Officer of the Order.

RIDING

OF YORK HIRE.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1932. This is the third I have made Slnce the dlstrict was entrusted to my charge, and for the first time I am able to record a very real mcrease both in personnel and in all-round activity. This naturally gives me keen sati faction. The t.rength at the close of the year was as follows : Officers and :JIen 252 Lady Officers and Ambulan ce ~l ters 131 ]3oy Cadets 19 Girl Cadets 23 maki ng a total of 425 , and a nett mcrea e of 4-L The only ncw dl\'I SIO n regi tered during the year was that of the Shrewsbury Ambulance Cadets, but I am glad to say there haye been no disbandments, and most of the di\'ISlons are \'erv floun .. hing. One of the outstandnig eyents of\he year was the District Church Parade, held at Hereford on _ unday, 5th june, when "\mbulance and Xursing Units were inspected bv Colonel j . L. , leeman and Lady Perrott respecbYely, a great honour for our small (hst nct. :'Tost. dl\ ISlons were "'ell represented , "hich was yery creditable, considering the long distanc s invol\'ed, the O~wetry umts having to tra\'el o\'er 70 miles from home to attend. The In pecting Officers xpre ed themselves as highly satisfied \ lth the smart appearance of the parade. The ubsequent march to the Cathedral was notable O\\'Jng to the pre ence of Colonel \\'oolrych Perowne, Registrar of the Order, and Ylscount lIereford m theIr full robes as Enights of Justice, and was t;nha ncecl by the splendId playmg of the LeIghton Buzzard Scouts' Band. The service \\a also attended by the ~Iayor and orporation of Hereford in full ci\'ic state, I he mcepbon of the idea, and the carrying through of details of this parade and :OC'f\ICe, "ere largely due to Ambulance Officer G . X. Bullock, and formed part of a speCIal \\ eek-end effort for raismg funds, which I may say ",as extremely successful. Another notable occaSIOn wa 2-lth july, when Colonel PerO\vne was again present and uD\'elled a mural tablet m the Preceptory Church of St. John , in the grounds of Dmmore ~Ianor, Hereford hire. The tablet is the gift of ~lr. ::'Ilurray, Lord of the :'Janor, a most generous benefactor to the Brigade, and sets out a complete list of the Dlnmorc Preceptor from ~orman times up to the Dissolution. I regr t to haye to note the death of Colonel Edward Cureton, M.D., V.D., Knight of Grace, whIch occurred at hrewsbury early in the year. Colonel Cureton was Comml,sioner of this District when it also included Korth \\Tal es , and before the formation of the \Vel sh Priory. He resigned soon after the \Yar, owing to indifferent health. His remains were conveyed to Birmingham, but a large contingent of the Bngade accompanied the cortege for the first mile of its journey, and members acted c1~ bearers. It is with great plea ure that I mention the acquisition of two ambulances, viz. by Ross-on-\Vye and Ludlow, these being the first to be ve ted in and controlled by the Brigade in this district. In both cases the H . . A.C. gave substantial assistance, but Ludlow has chiefly to thank its" grand old man ", Alderman John Palmer, five times mayor, and Honorary President of the Ludlow Ambulance Division, for his enthusiasm in gathering funds . Generous help was also forthcoming from the Ludlow Red Cross ladies. Both cars \vere dedicated at impressive open-air services, and have already done excellent work. As regards the duties in general, over 1,000 cases have been treated by individual members , and in addition 145 cases have been removed by our ambulances, with a mileage of 3,081. Road accidents treated number 63 .

THE

ST.

N u m erous Hospital and Clinic attendances have been rendered by l\Iadeley, Church Strett on, Shrewsbury (No.1), a nd Hereford, while iedical Comforts Depots have been supported by Iron bridge, Madelcy, hrewsbury (No.2), and Hereford . R oa d patrols have been organized by Market Drayton, Ludlow, Hereford , and Ross-on-"\Vye. Public duties have been efficiently carried out, the most important, as usual , being in connection with the Shropshire Horticultural ociety's Annual Show and the West Midland gricultural 'how. Good work has also been done at air pageants, football matches, race-meeting ', fc~es, etc . . All divi.sions were inspected and re-examllled dunng the year. I per~onally performed these duties in the cases of Oakengates , Ludlow, hrewsbury, \Velhngton. Hereford, and Ross-on-\Vye Ambulance Divisions, and Ironbrid ge, Oswestry. Church Stretton, Shrewsbury ( TOS. 1 and 2). and Hereford ursing Divi ions. The standar.d was good on the whole, but a number of members would do well to study thclr manuals more thoroughly before presenting themselve. l\Iy great thanks are d~e to Miss Wright, of Shrewsbury, and Ir. Iurray, of Dinmore, for the usc of thclr beautiful grounds and their hospitality on the occasion of inspection The annual District Competitions were held at hrewsbury III December and attracted large entries. For the Nursing hield 'we were honoured by thc presence of Major John Orton (Commissioner for No. III Western Di tnct). who Judged th Team Test. The winners were Shrewsbury Ko. 2 DiYI Ion (1\11S5 Bullock's team) The " Perks" Cup for novices was gained by 0 we. try . Incidentally 1\11SS Bul~o~k's team is greatly to be congratulated on wlllnlllg the V .A.D . County Shield (Shropshire) two years in succession. In the Men's Competition we were fortunate in having C~pt.aln IIenton "nite (Commissioner for Birmingham) a~d Dr. C. E . alt. (Commls LOne r for Dcnblghshire) to act as judO'es. The Wlllners of the Dlstnct up wcre Shrewsbury (Sergt. Lloyd's team),°whlle the" Cureton" Cup (for the" runners-up ") went t.o Hereford (Amb. Officer Bullock's team). . In addition to thanks already cxpressed, I must spcCIally add my 'w arm appreciation of the services and help of County Officer D. T. Sinncll (\\'ho mo t unfortunately for us has now lcft the dist.rict.), Lady County Officer :'Irs E R Andrcws. Corps Surgeon F. H. Edwards, and Divisional Surgeons Crofton, Bulman, :'IacS;re~or . and Haine' and in O'eneral I must thank all officers and other ranks for conlrtbutmg to a most s~ccessful ~nd prosperous year. I lrust that none of us will become" weary of well-doing", but that we shall go forward making a dady advance III ambu lane'.! knowledge and furthering our great beneficent work.

THE

T. JOH

AMB LANCE BRIGADE.

No less than 45 motor ambulance services are now operated by the Ambulance units in the District . An analysis of the figures reported shows that 20,290 patients were removed 261 ,854 miles during 1932, an increase of 183 patients and 45,170 miles over 1931. Road Service.-It is gratifying to report that the keenness for this work in the District continues. The road accidents aUended to during the year numbered 4,220, and our motor ambulances travelled 29,897 miles conveying the unfortunate victims to hospitals or to their homes. This is an increase of 1,003 accident cases, and 5,08 1 miles over the preceding year, and gives a good idea of the activity of the divisions in this respect. By various ways and means 21 Roadside Huts have been erected at suitable places in the three Counties, and it is hoped that thiS number will shortly be increased . In addition approximately 80 First Aid Boxes are maintained on the highways . Nursing D ivisions.-Officers and Members of Nursing Divisions have performed excellent work during the year. They treated 3,2 3 cases, made 3 ,146 hours' attendance at local hospitals, and have turned out with the motor ambulances on no fewer than 1,451 occasions. In addition, they have organized and maintallled Medical Comforts Depots, assisted with the Road ervICe dutv, and at Girl Guide and other Camps . -

Review.-A Di trict l~e"iew was held by kind invitation of the Eastbourne Corporatron and was a ttended by nearly 3,000 men and ::\urses. The event was an Inspiring one, and olonel the Earl of Onslow, who took the Inspection , expressed JTl unqualIfied terms hIS appreciatIon of the Parade . InspectzoHs. olonel G . A. :l\100re, C.;\l.G., D.S.O. (Assistant Chief Commissioner) JDspected the Ha tings Division, and Dr. ~ . Corbet Fletcher, Assistant Surgeon-inChI I, IDspected the Brighton Corps. All other DIVIsion were either in pected by myself, ~Iajor \V . H. F. Noble, Captam E . _\ hill, the Lady District. Superintendent, or another member of the Dlstnct taff . From the reports recei\-ed It i e\ Ident that all Officers and lIIembers of the District tlre keen on theIr work , and that a 111gh standard of efficiency exists in the District. Dn'lstO l1al Records I desire to bring to your notice the earnest and efficient work of those re ponslble for keeping Dn i ional records. Inspecting Officers are c.ontmually pralsmg them on the neatnes and correctness of the records, and I never a k m vain for particulars on any partIcular subject. On the contrary, almost without xceptlOn, I reCCI\' any information required almost by return of po t. ThiS \Try r al ,en 'ice I a great asset to the working of a district a nd to the Bngade gcn rally I am grateful for the help received in this connection. Financc Thanks to the continual efforts of Divisions, the finances are all sound. The oemands mad upon the Brigade are ever increasing and to raise sufficient money to ke p the \\ork gomg ha needed determination, energy, and self-denial. I am, ho\\' \ er, thankful that the public have, In nearly all in tances, been most liberal In theIr r sponse to an) appeal launched by the Di\-ision . The efforts of those who rabe fund to enable the Brigade to carryon It \\'ork is most praiseworthy, and I am c1eeply appreclatl\-e of their a i tance. I also desire to thank the Divisional Treasurers and Honorary Auditors for the valuable \\-ork they render to the Brigade Dl1'ZSIO nal Headqllartevs . -I am plea ed to report that during the latter part of the year the \\" stgate-on- ea UDlts came mto po session of Freehold Divisional Headquarters. These Headquarters were opened by Colonel G. A. :M oore, Assistant ChI f omm I sioner. The uperintcndents are to be congratulated on the results of their long and cnthu<';lasUc work m pronding the necessary funds. It is mo t gratifying to report that these Headquarters were opened entiyely JI'ee Ilf debt. ConclUSIon - During the year Din, ions have lost no opportunity of attending Church Parades when inVIted , and m thl connectlOn there are very few ca es where any CJmrch Parade I held \\'ithout the local unit being invited to attend. I hay ah\'ays encouraged DI"I ions attending Church with other local orgaJ1lzation , and haye ample yidence that the arrangement is in the best interests of the Brigade. The DJ\'lsions continue to \\'ork in the close t co-operation \,,,ith the Police and l\Iunicipal Authontie , and once again it gives me much pleasure to record my appreciation of their kind and ympathetic help. Finally, I de ire to pay tribute with gratitude to the Assistant Commissioners, the Lady Di trict ~ uperintendent, to all other members of my District Staff, Corps and Diyi ional Officer, .i. T.C.O. , Privat.es, and Ambulance, isters for their exceeding courtesy, kindness, and a istance to me-and last, but not least, to thank them for t.he self-denial, enthusiasm, and energy which alone has made pos ible thi wonderful record of service to those in need of timely aid, sympathy, and practical help. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. RICHARDS, Commissioner, Knight of Grace, Order of St. John.

All the )'Iotor Ambulances \\'ith the exception of Xewquay are un?er Brigade Contro land are giving satisfactory serVlce. Eleven Ambulances are workmg under the H .S.A.C. I especially wish to thank the Motor Ambulance Drivers who, at all bmes of the day and night, give voluntarily their time and sernce. Road Casllalties.-There were 179 road accidents treated and the motor ambulances coyered 1,419 miles in connection with them . The number of Road"ide .Ald PO 'lS is 39 and the Roadside Aid Boxes 5. Public Duties.-All important shows, athletic gathenn gs, and football matches were attended, and much good work done.

Townsend says: "Their chief activities have been in nursmg m poor homes either v.ith the district nurse or in places where there is no distnct nurse. Between 500 and 600 cases have been attended in 1932 . Especially would I mention Constantine, who in the absence of the nurse through Illness, undertook the whole work of the parish-179 cases attended to the complete satisfaction of the doctors. St. Ives is also especially commended, having attended 156 cases, partly under the District ~urse, and partly in Halsetown, where there is no nurse. In nearly all the Districts I hear great confidence and approval expressed at the work of the Ambulance Sisters.» Cadets.-They fully justify their existence by providing recruits for the Senior Divisions, besides learning a useful and helpful training for boys and girls. The

great difficulty DivislOns find is to keep them supplied with uniform, as the members grow in height. T' .. J . Detachments.-I cannot report. any headway in recruiting amongst Ambulance

I would pecially thank my Staff Officers for theIr tactful admllllstrations, their journeys to make inspections, cond uct promotion exammatlOns. and stimulate intere t in Ambulance work III their respective areas. I would thank the doctors and nurses of the County for what they are doing to further the work of the AssoclatlOn and Brigade by giving so much voluntary time to help m th e mstruchon of the people 111 First Aid, and in training the Divisions.

THE

T. ]OHl\' .(\ l\IBULA CE BRIGADE.

H.R.H. most graciously inspected a representalive Guard of Honour on her arriv::tl at the Main quare of the City. In the deeply regr~tted ::tbsence lhrough Illness of the Lady l\Iildmay of Flete (Co unty r ursll1g President), lhe Countess of l\IounL Edgcumbe (rea Tursing President), accompanied by Lady County Officer ~Irs. Balsdon, made the presentations of selected ~urslllg and .adet Per onnel. Honorary Lady Presidents and Yice-Presidents al 0 paraded weann~ their badges of office. The thorouah interest and encouraglllg remarks of our Royal Commandantin-Chief made an abiding impression on those who paraded. :'~oreover, t.he recognition thus given to the ~ursing and V.A.D. work of our Order III Devon had a most beneficial effect. mongst the activities of the Duchess of York during her vi it to Plymoulh w~s the opening of a large school. In the evening of. the sam~ clay, whilst t.he pubilc were inspecting the premises, there was an exploslOn resulbng III se\'cral c.a ua~bes fortunately not of a serious nature. ome of t.he Ambulance and l. urslng Stafi who \\'ere presented to H.R.H. were thus. a few hours later. buslly III actlOn. Dartmoor Prison JIlltiny.-One of the mo t grim and unusual .\mbulance dL1:bes on a larcTe scale ever undertaken in this country was that at t.he Dart.moor Pnson in Janu~ry. at the mutiny and large fire which followed it. OWlllCT t.? t.he CT:eat secrecy necessary the first detachment of Ambulance men merch' had lllstructlons to follow the police fire apparatus to an unnan.led destlllatlO.n, and It was only when about ten miles from Plymouth that the enous nature of the duty \\as reveakd . Soon. further St. John personnel and transport \\ere uispalched , anu whal was particularly aratifyin a was the manner in which our m.en, at leas one of whom was an ex-Cadet.tlnot onlytlrendered First Aid, but took t.heir places in the Pnson Hospital assisting the Surgeons and limited nursing ta~ In numerous tasks which normally would never have to be undertaken by First .\luer . . Owing to the effect of a then recent senous accident my own p,:rt \\'as little morc than that of an observer; therefore, I am all t.he more able to eulogize the remarkable response and efficiency of others who better repre'jenl~d the Brigade on that day o~ stress and anxiety. ::\Iany tributes were paid at lhe time, lllcludln~ those ot H \1 ,., Lord Lieutenant of Devon and the Chief Commls lOner of the Pnson ~·er\'lce. Before I left the scene of the :'Iutiny the Senior urgeon of the Prison de:Med me to convc\' to you his gratitude for the St. John Ambulance Bng<l:ue. I want al:o t.o mention the Officers and members (both Ambulance and TUr:::'lllg) who had III some ways the harder and less attractive task-that. of p::ttiently waiting at; t.helr resp~clt\·c Stations in case the outbreak still further developed. E,'en as far a\vay a' Exetcr the men and :'lotor Ambulances were" standing-to all t.hat unua),. Blood Transfusion.-A somewhat new, yet ~xtremely valuable, form of ~ef\'ice for the injured and sick is that of giving blood III cases of desperate need. _c \'e ral Devon Ambulance men have willingly offered themsel\'es, notably at Exct.er, Torquay, Newton Abbot. and Exmouth. In some diVIsions there were no fcwer than ten men on the Transfusion List. and at least one member has been a blood-donor four times. Voluntary Aid Detacklllents.-The Devon t. John V. .D .s continue t.o Illl-rea",e in numbers and effectiveness, and It now seems thc recognized proceuure for ladle", joining the various Brigade ursing Divisions for civil actLvltLe~, slmult.aneously to apply for official recognition as Voluntar~ Aid l\~embers for \\ ar ernce. The Inspecting Military Officers favoured me WIth coples of ~helr Ann.ual Inspcct.lOn reports and in every case these wer~ ~ery. satisfactory. ~Wll1g to .natlOr;al economy. no l\lobile :'1embers could go for trallllllg 1ll SerVIce HospItals dunng 1932. For the Lifeboats.-Devon has sustained its keen interest in t.he provi ion of Ambulance facilities when the Lifeboat maroons have sounded. \Vhen H.R.H. the Prince of Wales went to Brixham to " launch t.he Torbay Lifeboat George Slzee. the Torquay and Paignton Divisions, under County Officer H. J. \-ick, carried out much effective public duty amidst dense crowds. . . I am very proud to report that Private \V. Ward. of the Lynton DIvlslOn. has been promoted to the command of the local lifeboat. Moreover. Coxsw.alll J. Roach, of the famous Plymouth Motor Lifeboat. who has recently been spcclally honoured by the R.N.L.I. for notable courage and seamanship. was a founder member of the Ambulance Service in that Port.

St. John Sisters also regularly assisted at the Devonian Cripples Aid Clinics at Barnst.aple. Torquay. l~lllgsbridge. and Plymouth. It is hoped that yet the necessary arrangemcnt.s will be made for Similar attendances by the Exeter Nursing Division al t.he cnt.ral Hospital for our County's Crippled Children. The kmdly references 1ll vanous Hospital and Clinic Annual Reports to the service of our members m wards, casualty and out-patient departments have given much encouragement. The total nurslDg attendances for 1932 amounted to 709.

Road Patrols alld .-1 zd Posts.-In addition to the ordlllary types of public duty at sportlllg events and crowded assemblies. the highv,ay patrols. beach-huts. and roadside post.s have been wcll mamtained, nursing members in several places taking t.helr share of duty equally With the men. One ~Ioorland hut was staffed for 800 hours, and m but. five weeks the ~urslllg Station at Plymouth Hoe had no fewer than 26-1 calls for firt ald. Road and beach attendances were well developed at Torqua)'. \Yhltsands. Paignton. Jennychffe, Instow, Bovisand. Roborough Down. Plymout.h Aerodrome, Plymouth lIoe, Cremyll. and Torpoint. Keen appreciation IS felt for thc tran port ial.llitIes generously afforded by the omlllbus companies and by pnvat.e mot.orists. I belJevc our huts and the presence of Ambulance cyclepatrol have a useful purpose as" afety propaganda as well as being im-aluable when a crash has actually taken place. /I

Doubtless the following extract from she Annual Report for 1932 of the Chief Constable of Plymouth will give you the same pleasure as it gave me. He wrote: "The local organization of the St. John Ambulance Association relieves the Police very largely in connection with injured peLon , and I am quite certam that. it would be very difficult to find another area where there exist.s uch complete under tanding and co-operation." In Plymouth t.here is a fleet of six St. John Ambulances (Austin Twenties) and a large Bus Ambulance for Crippled Children. I am hopin a it will not be very long before every Deyon Fire Brigade will be followed into action by Ambulance personnel. The experience of the many divisions who already undertake this form of emergency duty is that it is not the great spectacular blazes where fatalities and serious injuries are most liable to occur, but in slight outbreaks. The moral. therefore. is to turn out for every fire alarm. Three of our active l\Iembers are also Chief Officers of Fire Brigades. viz. at Exmouth. Launceston. and Newton Abbot. Motor Ambulances.-Devon still heads the National List of the Home Ambulance Service for the number of sick and llljured persons transported b - its Ambulances or vehicles afnliated. Although the busy stations in the two cities and the larger

towns loom most in t.he public eye, I am increasingly impressed with t.he devotion of the crews of the more isolated Ambulances. Take Launceston for in tance, where it is by no means uncommon for a ingle call to im-oke a car journey at night of over 100 miles. The Ambulance isters haye at much self-sacrifice accompanied female cases and children, nursing them en route as nece arr. ::\1ost of the "ery long distance train journeys with patients are done by our .I. ursing personnf'l. Cadets.-\\11ere we are successful in getting leaders with the right personality and time necessary for their tasks the Ambulance and Nursin a Cadet ::\1o,-ement flourishes amazingly. . cti,-ities amongst the girls of De'-on are greatl ' shmulated by the interesting monthly letter sent them by Lady County Officcr :'I1rs. Balsdon , who, in addition to all her other duties, servcs ,'ery de,'oterlly as her own Staff Officer for ursing Cadets. She ha encouraged the alrl- to take up all kinds of bcneficent activity for the suffering, more particularly children, and j u ·t before hristma,' it was my joy to see a remarkable exhibition of toy ammals, cot-covers, and various other articles made by our future ~urses for dl tribution. Quitc a hu~h degree of proficiency in elementary first aid and nursmg has been attain cd and'e,-eral girl" who left our ranks only did 0 to enter Ho pitab for trammg- as professional nur -eo;. Ambulance Cadet Camps were held at Exmouth and rafthole; rambles and organized games ha,-e also taken place . Exeter's Cadets expenmcnt. of a " parents' evening" was eminently successful and at Plymouth a combined pubile display (10 Di,isions) and Cadet Christmas Parties were held . Boys and ~Irls ha"e aaain been qualifying in the v arious Badge subjects in addition to First. _\it!. .\lthou~h not able to undertake public duty adets have often rendcred 1110-';t. ,-aluablc assistance as Orderlies. ~loreover, I ha,-c records of thesc keen young- people rendering First Aid until the arri,-al of adult a' I-tance. Obituavy.- Just as the year was clo-ing the Bngade suffered a very severe bcre;l\'cment in the death of ::\lr. J. H. Beckly, J.P. (Officer of thc Ordcr), thc greatlyesteemed County Chairman of the AssoClatlOn. In a trul\- remarkable way hiS 11k was true to our -ancient motto: "For the Faith, and for -the ernce of ::\Ianktnd " Devon Ambulance acti"ities lost their be-t fn e nd when John Beddy wcnt to his Reward. In a more humble sphere Transport Officcr .\ . Tyler of Plymouth sc n 'cel thc Cause very faithfully, and died as a res ult of an accident sustained in the executIOn of his duty. He began his Ambulance work pu -hing about a hand-litter and ere hiS life ended he was the Transport Officer for one of the bu -iest Hcel- of ::\[otor Ambulances in the country. County Fund.-The Brigade's Devon County Fund is a cause for much anxle1.\I regret to state. During the past three years the debt has steadily mcrea ed and th-c loss is sorely felt of the regular grants once made by Headquarte~s to co, er the co~t of postage, stationery, printing, and e sentlal t.raveillng on duty. _\n appeal ha again gone out in the hope of saving the Fund from shll further embarrassment. Thank s to the Press.-I want to expre s the Brigade's indebtedness t.o the Pres,; for sympathetic and generous publicity. \\'Ith our Corps, Dlvi Ions, and .\ mbulance Services depending on public interest to secure support and recruits, t.he friendly West Country Editors help tremendously. Of the many newspapers spectal thanks are du e to the Western lliorning Sews and Daily Ga ::ette.

Staff Officers.-I am under deep obligation to my splendid Staff Offlcer and no County Commissioner was better served. They ungrudgingly gi,'e of t.heir time and substance, often at considerable inconvenience to themseh-es, so as t.o place their experience at the disposal of the Brigade. As Inspecting Officer, cxaminers, competition judges, propaganda speakers, and by countless interviews and letters they unitedly have made our Service such a power for good in this extensi,-e county In conclusion I sincerely thank all Corps, Divisional, and Cadet Officers, 1\.C.O .s, Members, and Cadets also the influential supporting Association Committees for all their loyal, energetic, and efficient co-operation for those who suffer. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HEDLEY V. fILLER. County Commissioner, County of Devon . Commander of the Order of St. John of J erusal em.

10th February, 1933. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN A~!BULA, CE BRIGADE.

SIR ,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1932 . One new Ambulance DiviSIOn has been registered at \Vhitehead (Torpedo 'Vorks), Weymouth. . ~o County Inspection 'was held this year, but I personally inspected every Dlvlslon, ,,]llch gave me opportunities of discussing Brigade matters with the Officers. I was glad to notice the effiCiency and smart drill of all ranks, including the Nurs10g Division'>. CIVIC Chllrch Parades -The DIVision are often invited by the ::\Iayors to attend church With the other recoglllzed publ1c bodies . These events I consider highly llnportant, as they bnng the Bngade to the notice of the public and show our appreciatlOn of reh~lou - ernces a part of an ancient inhentance. The hub on the sands at Poole and \Yeymouth dunng the summer months are dom" good work for the benefit of the \'Isltors, and give the local Dl\-isions (::\Ien and " -omen) plenty to do. The ::\Iotor _\mbulances attached to t.he Divisions dealt with 1,00 calls. The road accidents numbered 133. The total mileage covered by the foregoing was 6,451. There were 2,007 cases recorded as recelving First Aid in 1932. l' .. l.D -The .\nnu al Inspec tion Reports were satisfactory of the two t John \' \ D s I expre -- my 'ince re thanks to all ranks 10 the county for their zeal and devotion to the" cau" ". I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J, \Y. WHITE , Capt., County Commissioner. I\:lllght of G race, Order of t. John.

REPORT OF THE 49,

CO;"L\II SSIO~E R,

BER~ERS STREET, IpSWICH, SUFFOLK.

2nd Febrltary, 1933 . THE CHIEF COllll\IISSlONER, ST. JOH~ A;\I BULANCE BRIGADE.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for this, Number 10, District of the Brigade for the yea r 1932 . All returns are not yet in, and I am unable to gi\'e you a correct statement of personnel of ~urses, ::'lIen, and Cadets, ::'IIale and Female, m the District; nevertheless, I can assu re you that the past year has agam shO\\'n an increase in new divisions, and so an increase of personnel. \ Ve have constant demands for the serVIces of our people all of whi ch we are able to meet. \Ve had a County Rally of Boy Scouts, where the Chief Scout at.tended, and there was a muster of Scouts who lived under canvas for two nights. T he public were admitted, and attended in their thousands at various shows given by the boys. This entailed a con siderable shain on the local Corps, but a ll demands were met, even to the extent of a small Field Hospital that was staffed by our mcn and women, b oth by n ight and day.

DI STRI CT .

191

One of our surgcons attended, and thcre were several cot cases in the Hospital dunng bot.h nights . A suspicious ca c of mumps was correctly isolated by our pcople, and no doubt prc"cnted somethll1g t.hat might have been rather serious . Our Y ..\ .D.s wer ll1spected by tIle \ Var Office Aut.horit.y and given an excellent report. \\Ith the additIOn as Fit for ernce and Ready. Our Road Patrols , through the four countIes concerned, are properly attended to , and I personally ha\'c motored many ITIlle to see the men on duty. All turned out fully and correctly cquipped, some on foot, some on pu h-bicycle, some on motor-cycle. Sll1ce -thiS entails abscncc from mcals at. home , I have granted a small subsistence allowancc for each man wbo is absen t from home more than SIX hours. This I find an excellent. idea in these h a rd times, and I ha\'e impressed on t.he men that this is III no \\ ay a. payment for sen'ices renclered, but t.o provide themselves with food. 1 tru~t. you, , ir, \\ill not. con Ider this going beyond the scope of RegulatIons. In . e\'eraJ East oast ~ easide Resort.s wc do regular beach patrols during bathing hours , and at lacton , for mtance, t.he ~Iotor .-\mbulance , staffed by t . John 's mcn and Hcd ross nurses, is always at a certam pomt ready for emergencies near the bcach, and not mfrcquently ha\'c cascs of major or minor importance to deal with . Both Yarmout.h and Lowe toft Di\'isions do mo t excellent work, and are cxtr mely kcen It IS invidIOUS, ho\\ C\'cr, to singlc out any dctachment in the \\'hole, district for from my own personal inspections and sudden appearance at \'arious duties I can a ssure you that thc unit - on dut.y arc all you \\'ould wish them t.o be-clean, smart, fully l'quipped, anel in uniform . I need not. r fer to football duties, at.i.endances at thcatres, and cinemas. These a re routine, and t.hc mcn and ,\"omen now takc them as a matter of course. ~rally of our ~urscs make rcrrular attendance at Ho pital Out-patients lkl art Il1 c nb , Cas ualty and ~Iinor opcrat.IOn ' , Ips\\'lch Ho pital, but most of the \\ omen \\ ho do thi:, work are of thc lei -ured cIa s. The opportunity is there for such \\ork , but a large number of our nurses have to earn their daily bread, and are unable to a\'ail themseh'e of this opport.unity of getting practical experience . The . ame appli cs again to holiday duties in , say, London Hospitals . Tim oil from \\'ork and the 10 s of a holiday makes it almost impo sible for the majority to \'olunteer. It is a case of the person being willing but the pocket being empty. In additIOn, t.hcy darc not ri k losing tht:ir job to-day by a king for lea\'e of ab. ence for this purpo, c; although I ha\'e to thank local employers for their generau attitude towards us \\'hen we are pressed, a , for instance, at the cout hall\,. .\ ' new idea has been taken up, ne,,, at. lea t to this Di hict, of each Division ha\'ing its o\\n ' tand, rel . In all cases \\here this has been a ked for I ha\'e granted pemus Ion wlt.h the pro, 1 "0 that t.hc ~ tandard shall be propcrly dedicated , and this IS bcmg don by c.IL'qy of \'anou denOIl1matlOns, at the choice of the Di\'i ion it elf. The :'.Iotor .\mbulance throughout the district are being used more and more by the public, not only for aCCldeI1 ts, but for com'e\,ance of ill people to hospitals, 'anat.oriuIl1s, and III ceriam ca ' es to their own ho~es afterwards, and I have seen dozens of letters at my inspections from grateful patients who ha\'e been mo,'ed In t.hem . Occaionally I havc met lctters of complaint as to the hardness of the springs and thc rou crhne ' of the ndmg. It IS. po. siblc that, WIth greater knowledge , motor manufacturers might pay special a ttentIOn to springm ,~ of chas is that are to carry ambulance bodies. Se\'eral of the . \ mbulances are equipped with orbo beds. This is of a spongy rubber matenal, about 2 inche thick, that lie on the stretcher. It is supposed to gl\'e greater easc and comfort m mo\'ing patients. I ha\'c my doubts about that, and I thmk it would be \\'ell if further inqu iries \\ ere made about this extra comfort. Fracture cases, for in tance, should not be put on spnnrry mattresses that allo\\' too much jogging about, although they are of great benefit. in certain cases; but I am not satisii.ed with their spongy rubber beds as being altogcther suitable for transport work, for all ca es such as we have to deal with, although good for certain cases. "\Ve must adopt a method and material that is suitable for all cases as they come.

THE

T. J OH~ AMBUL.\ ~CE BRIG.\DE.

Competitions are as usual held all over thc Di trict. and wc arc beincY constantly presented wilh cups for all sorts of mbulance competitions. Again I am nO.l quite. sure if this is not ~eing o:'erdone. especially i~ view 0.[ ~bc fact that there IS con Idcrable difficulty 1ll gettmg doctors expert m cxammlng according to our Regulations. "Verdicts sometimes havc not been popular, and I have had to smooth matters over several times. Medical men are beginnning to cxpect. too much from our folks, cUing questions that are beyond the scope of our Black Book. and expcctmg an wers to t.hem. Thc team that manages to answer gets thc cup, to t.he mdlgnat.ion of t.he lo er , who claim, rightly, that the answers expect.cd went beyond the book-hence t.rouble. I have had to take to editing the questions, and it IS not always easy to atLs[y an examiner that his questions are beyond our scope. In additlOn, it entad' a g~e,:t deal of work if those competitions are nol to lead to frictIon. Ne\-erthcle s, It IS excellent practice for future examiners, but a little hard on thc losing t.cam , who [ecl they have a grie\'ance, and in some instance ' I am afraid a ju ' t one . The po Itton is not ea y. Comfort Depots are now a nece ity, and we are in the posilton of bcm cY able to satisfy almo t any want \\"hatsoe\'er from a pair of crutches to a sp!nal carnagc. In Ipswich we ha\-e an admirable one, most. excellently and elhclently servcd daily by members of the Brigade. Its report you will recelvc undcr separale co,'e r. Xo thanks are big enough to these workers for the \'oluntary \\ork thcy do . _\Il honour to them! At t. Albans there 1-; an excellent and elflclenLly run Depot, run by the men. New ones are beln cr opencd 1ll \'LinoU., towns, and thc init.ial grant given by H.Q. is a great boon 1ll making a start. Death I am sorry to say, has made e\-eral gaps m our ranks, hut wc ha,-c alway s members ready to fill the gap and carryon. In all instances where po sible and whcre de ' ired we ha,'c a tended thc funerab and paid our last re pects to our dead. The district has settled down to rout1l1C dutics- \\'ar-\\earinc '. is ovcr \\'c ha\'c a younger generation coming along to leaven the old \\ar hands. and bu t for thc hard times and general lack of money \\-e would be well and, indecd. arc wcll on the road to multiply and grow 1ll strength and efficiency Finally r have to acknowledge with thanks t.he loyal a sistance and co-operation of all the Officers of the District to whom its efficiency IS lar!~cly utt e. r ha\'e the honour to be, ir, Your obedient scn'ant, JA~!ES HOSS\CK, Enight. of Grace.

27th Apl'il, 1933. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1932 . This year will be memorable in the annals of this District for the duty undertaken for the Thirty-first International Eucharistic Congress which was held in this country for the first time. It was a tremendous task , and involved months of intensive preparation under Assistant Commissioner A . J. Connor and District Officer J . P. Mac amara, who were responsible to the Organizing Committee of the Congress for the active First Aid arrangements.

THE

T . JOHI

AMBULA

CE BRIGADE.

The total strcngth of the Brigade on duty was 3-i5 l\mbulancc Officers and ;\Icn, and 250 Lady Ambulance Officers and lstcrs. The official numbcr of cascs treatcd was 6, 22. Complete satisfaction with thc work of the Brigade was expressed by the Congress Committce and othcrs. Throughout the \\'cek there werc cight First Aid tations in the Phcenix Park and twenty in thc ityand 'uburbs. Thcsc wcre increa ed by eightecn additional stations for Sunday, 26th june. For fullcr details I \\'ould refer to thc Report I had the honour to ubmit to you in july last. I am "ery proud of the sen'ices rendered by our men and women on this occasion. They were most efficient and stood up to the physical stram magnificcntly for oyer a week-day and night duty-and it was no mall mattcr for 600 Fir t .\idcrs to handle a milLon people. The steady round of Public Duty was carried out by the Ambulancc and Nursing Di\'isions throughout the year, including: Thc Intcrnational Rugby T\latch in February; the Royal Dublin Society's hows In !\lay and .\u<Tust; the" Leinster Two Hundred :'Iotor Cycle Race in !\lay; the Tailtcan Gamc. 111 july; the Irish :'Iotor Racing Club's Car and Cycle Race in Phcenix Park in September; their Road Race at Straffan in October; the transport of the im'ahds joming the Ozanam Pilgrimage to Lourdes in eptember, \\'hen a' in prc\'IOUS years a Lacly .\mbulan ce Officer ancl two Ambulance isters accompanied the im'alicls to Lourcle::,; Remembrance Day sen' ices and parade in 1'\O\'cmber At the City First Aid Hut in O'Connell :trect 1,210 cases were dcalt with, 825 bv the day orderly and 385 by the night stans. These figures excludc ongress \\ cel~, when the Hut was used as an Area Headq uartcrs and a separate record kept The Phcenix Park and l\Ierrion Strand Huts were open during the rcspcctl\'e seasons, and were also used for special Congress duties. The im'alid Transport Service carried 1,-i-i6 cases during thc twc!\'c months. The personnel being supplied by the Brigade ..Ambulance Sisters attcnd at IIeaclquarters daily to accompany womcn patients in the ambulances.

During 1932 the number of articles lent to im alids was 336. :'Ianv articles were also lent to our First Aid tations when reqmred. ' Stores Departlllent .-Owing to the EucharistIc ong-ress bell1g held in DuhlIl1 in 1932, there was a great deal of extra work done in thiS Department. }\ll the e<[lllpment for First Aiel Stations was sent out from Stores at Headquarter" .\s m lIlV as forty-six First Aid Stations were in use on Con~ress Sunday and 1 ,:31- artlcle~ \~-e re supplied for these alone. Large quantities of uniform and mec.hcal stores \\ ere supplied to all Divisions. Equipment for Ambulances and Huts \\-as attcnded to c\'cry clav. A large amount of preparing stores, packIng, unpacklOg, menclIl1g, ane! deani~g has been done by the voluntary staff all the year round. Under the direction of Lady Superintcndent ':'lis Barrington and a ommitlee the \\"elfare Department continnes to assist ome of the \'ery poor mothers 111 Dublin through their confinements by giving them dinncrs for three or two months before and t:vo or three after their confinements.

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE CO fMISSIO ER FOR WALES BRICA DE I had pleasure in referring in my last year's report to the STRE NCTH. allocation of a grant of £2,000 by the Pilgrim Trustees towards the formation and equipment of Cadet Division ; and it is even more gratifying to record the ncouraging influence this generous benefaction ha exerted over Brigade work generally in \Yales. The grant, which wa received in quarterly in talmenL and disbursed conditionally on the rai ing of one-third of the amount required in the locality, wa expended by the end of the year, while claim for participation were till coming in . The adet tr ngth increased during the year by 63 boy and 218 girl, after deducing 64-the number of adet who pa ed into the enior Divi ions during the year-while no le s than 1,164 bo ,319 girl , and 50 Cadet Officer were equipped with uniform by the aid of the two-third grant. The impetus created by thi welcome mea ure of financial a istance was by no means confined to the Cadet movement; it in pired the enior di\'i. ion to rene\\'ed activity at a time when the general trade depres ion wa taking its toll of normal resources an d nergy, and Brigade Officer are to be congratulated on the plendid efforts they have made to take advantage of a unique opportunity. It i not urpri -ing therefore to find that after striking of[ nine disbanded Divi ions from th Brigade regi ter the per onnel has ri en from 9,286 at December, 1931, to 10,179 at the. end of 1932.

The Priory once again records its grateful indebtednes to the outh \Vale and Monmouthsbire ommittee of tbe Miners' \"elfare Fund for it gene rOllS grant . Though unable to allocate the sum of £2,500 as in former year, the ervice benefitted to the extent of £2,000.

Two Cardiff teams by their success in the \Yelsh Brigade COMPETITIONS. Final Competitions had the honour of repr senting \Yale in the Brigade Finals on 10th June when Cardiff ity Police team came fourth and the Cardiff Emergency Tur ing team ele,'enth. The Priory a i ted in organizing the Preliminary I alice ompetition for the countie of Glamorgan and Brecknock at the reque t of the respective Chief Constables; and the "Pim" hielel wa brought to the Principality for the fir t time by the succe s of the :\Ionmouth hire Constabulary team in the Police National Competition. In the \Velsh Railway Competition held at ardiff on 24th October, the " Harry Webb" Cup was secured for the Great \Yestern Railwav by its ewport Dock Street team who had the plea ure of receiving their prizes at the hands of the G.\V.R. entre ecretary (~Ii .. \. Ault). Open Competitions were organized by the Priory in connection with the Royal \Yel h Agricultural ociety' annual show 11 ld la t year at Llandrindod \Vells; and the "Lady Bute" and "Lady Le\\'i - " cups of the Priory were as usual competed for in open conte t at the Royal ational Eisteddfod. Four new cups and one shield were presented in 1032, bringing the total number of trophies vested in the Priory for annual comp tition in the different localities to 88; and inter-colliery competition ,organized by the generous assistance and co-operation of the companie', are responsible for helping to maintain the reput ell)' high standard of ambulance efficiency in the outh \Vales Coalfield. \\ ith a view to creating competitive intere t in the Caclet :JIovement, it was decided early in the year to in titute a _pecially atiracti\' certificate for award to winning team in adet Competitions to be organize 1 within the various Corps; and a prize of £10, kindly given by tbe late Dowager Lady Aberdare, was put up for the best design submitted in a contest arranged in conjunction with the Royal National Ei teddfod. The result was not entirely satisfactory, however; and as the provision of uniform proved a sufficient stimulus for the time being it wa thought better to defer the issue of the new certiflcate until, when the grant from the Pilgrim Trust is finally exhausted, it will serve as a ",,"elcome fillip in the maintenance of interest.

COMFORTSDEPoTs.for

The amount of ambulance transport work carried out by the Priory's ervice in 19 32 again reached a higher tot al than in any previous year. The cars carried 8,070 cases, covering 166,4cl G miles; an increase on the figures for 1931 of 654 and 24,632 respectivel~'. The growth of the work thus indicated is particularly gratifying for it 15 not dependent upon the opening of any new station; and, therefore, after allowing for the increased use made by the medical profession

n outstanding event of the year was the visit of the ecretary-General of the Order, Major-General Sir Percival \Vilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B. , to the annual meeting of the Grand Committee held at Cardiff on St. David's Day. In extending a very cordial welcome on behalf of the Prior, the Sub-Prior, the Earl of Plymouth, P . . , referred t o the presence of the Secretary-General as a happy indi cati~n of the ve~y harmonious relationship existing between the Grand Pnory and Its premier Establi hment . In concluding my report, I am pleased t o be able t o sta te CONCLUSION . tha t our financial position has been con iderabl y improved ; and although a bank balance of £4,368 17s. 4d . still fi gure omin ou ly on th e wrong side of our accounts, the Prior y i meeting its obligation and living within its income without having curt ailed activities. Contributory t o this improvement is the record re pon e of th mbulance and ursing Division of th e Brigade t o the appeal for a H eadqu ar ter quot a which was redu ced from one penny t o a halfp nny p r member per week , a a result of which the 10 s on t he working of th e Brigade Department was Ie s for 1932 t han in any previous year. It certainly proves that "a trying time i the . t.ime t o try:' a general co nd~t ion have not facilitat ed the t ask of ralsmg fund eIther for local m t or H eadquarters. It shows, t oo, that t he Priory i not cont nt to all ow t o-day t o be the effect of yesterday, but is making it rath er the cau e of t o-m orrow. H aving personally vi ited most of th e orp and met t he majority of the Divisions, I am more than ever convinced of th e valu of the work as a power for good , which, with th e co-operation and guidance of the E xecutive Office~s, members of Chapter an? ommittee , the continued loyalty and devotIon of all rank of th e Bngade, and t he voluntary ser vice of the many members of the medical p ro fe~ ion and others, it will be my earnest endeavour t o extend and develop throughout the Principality of \"'ales.

The number of en'ice 1Iedal and ervice Medal Bar. i ued by the Order of St . J ohn to member of the Brigade O\'er~ as during. the year was 127 and 84 respectively, and the number of ernce Badae 1.. ued by Brigade Overseas Headquarters was 559. The e fiaures are an merea e . over those for the previous year. The Centenary Book compiled as a ouvemr of the ent~nary Celebration of 1931 has been sent to each Di\'i ion of the Bngade Overseas and to each member from Ov r ea who \-vas present at the Celebrations in London. The latest Film of the Order, which includes picture of the entenary Celebrations, i being shown in Canada, ustralia, and Tew Zealand. The work of the Brigade Overseas has been extended to Uganda and Zanzibar, where Divisions of the Brigade ha\'e been formed among the P olice. With regard to the work in each Dominion :AUSTRALIA.-It is with deep regret that I record the death of Dr. T. Storie Dixson, who died at Sydney on 9th December, 1932 . Dr. Storie Dixson, who was 79 years of age, had been in poor health

for ome time, but he continued his work for the Order and its Departments right until the time of his death. H e was Chief Commissioner for the Brigade within theommonwealth (\Vestern Au tralia excepted) and also hairman of the entral Council for Au tralia, and there is no eloubt that by his death the Order of t. J ohn has lost a keen and staunch upporter who did much to bring its work in Au tralia to its present high level. The Brigade in u tralia ha been faced with severe financial difficultie oyving to the economic di tress, and Divisions deserve great crcelit for the way in which they have carried on and fulfilled every call for public luty.

John's Gate for exhibition. I need hardly point out how greatly I appreciate the nne pirit of service which has enabled the member of the Hong Kong Di~ trict once again to re pond to a call for exceptional, en' ice in a manner worthy of the be t traditions of the Order. Ir. Morri., the Officer in charge of the Di trict, deserves the highe t prai -e, and I congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of Commi ioner. I am also glad to be able to record that Chapter-General ha agreed to pr sent each memb r who rendered uch signal service with a badge to be worn in uniform. It i a matter for much regret that ill-health ha compelled 11r. Ho Kom Tong to retire from the chairmanship of the Finance Committee, although I am glad to know that his advice and a i tance "'ill till b available for the benefit of the Hong Kong Di trict. 1\1r. Ho ha been of invaluable assistance not only to the work in Hong Kong but to other Department of the Order both at Home and Oversea. I~DIA.-I much regret to report that the retirement of Ir Henrv Moncrieff mith from India has compell d hi re ignation a hief Commissioner of the Brigade Over ea within the Empire of India. ir Henry has been Chief Commi sioner for India ince 1923, and hi. term of office has covered a period of great tre and anxiety during which the Brigade not only responded to all calls made upon it but considerably increased it activitie and trength. I heartily thank Sir Henry for the great interest and activity he ha ~ hown in the \York of the Brigade Overseas in India. His ucce or i ir Da\'id Petrie, and I cordially welcome his valuable co-operation in the control of the Brigade throughout the Empire of India. I also regret that I have to record the retirement from India of Mrs. Battye, Lady District Superintendent, l TO. 1 Di, trict, India. Mrs. Battye has held this office since 1824, and has been of the greate-t help in the development of the Nursing Divi ion . In accordance with the recommendation of the hi f omml lOner for India, Baluchi tan and the United Pro\'ince ha\'e b en eparated from the TO. 1 District and the Divi ions of the Brigad within the e areas will be administered direct from Indian headquarter. I have al a pleasure in reporting that in the No.2 District the Calcutta Iolice orp has been formed, and will be a source of strength to th work in t11i District. In the No.3 District the year has been one of continued acti\'ity in the face of many difficulties, O\ving to the resumption of the Civil Disobedience Movement at the beginning of the year and the Communal Riots which broke out in May and lasted with only a hart inten'al of peace until July. The members of the Brigade Over eas, however, came through thi time of testing with great credit, and in the many opportunities that came to them performed excellent service. The riot, which broke out on 14th May, were worse than those experienced in 1929, and continued over a longer period. Through the period of the riot the members of the Brigade rendered First Aid to 455 persons, of whom 237 were removed to hospital after treatment, and, in addition, were re pan sible for the removal of 1,200 stranded persons from the disturbed

area to. afcl~" For lhe fir t time member of the ~ur ing Division turn cl au t. and performed duty on the fir t two days of the riots, but although t.hey \\' re willing to continue it wa not can iclered safe t o call upon them for further public duty. The Government of Bombay has pa~sed a resolution exprc~ ing it.. appreciation of the service performed b.' the Brigade. .\ happier event during the year was the opening ceremony of the Headquarters building of the Par i Diyi ion, by Hi Excellency the Go\'ernor of Bombay ( ir Frederick yke), on 9th April. This building, known a tile Lady \Yillingdon Building, i the fir. t Headquarters building to b own d by a Divi ion of the Brigade in India and the members of the Di\'i -ion are to be congratulated upon the ucce sful completion of their effort . After a lap~e of two year. it was found po ible to hold the All-J ndia Comp titian at Lahore and many teams from the Brigade took part. .\ modified, cheme for the enrolment of member of the Brigade in Yoluntary Aid Detachment i awaitin a official sanction.

The strength of the Brigade 11a, incrca ed and during the year thirteen adult Divi. ions ancl 16 ad t Diyi ion, have been formed. Thi further increa e in the add Di\'ision now brings the total of Cadet Diyisions to 51, and so rapielly ha the adet mo\'ement progressed in New Zealand in the last two year that there are now nearly 1,000 Cadet within the Dominion. T11 out.standing public duty of the ear in :t\ew Zealand wa performed at Auckland on the occa ion of the riot . which occurred on l..1th and 15th .'\ pril. The riot broke out uddenly and were quite unexpected, so that no previou arrangement for duty had been made, yet within a hart time of the call for asi tance being recei\'ed over 100 memhers \vere on duty, and on the fir t evening of the riot over 200 cases were treated \\'ithin a short ~pace of time. On the occa ion of the econd evening, tll member of the Bricyade turned out on public clut~T in readine , their service on both evenings were gr atly appreciated b ' the public of Auckland.

The cfficicncy is well maintained and the u efulne of the work eems :vearly to be more appreciatcd, thereby cau ing a greater demand on the timc and scn'ices of the members. In .\u tralia much practical as istance is given by the members of the 4~ ur ing Di\'i ion in regularly attending the Clinic in the very poor li trict of thc large town, a well a by their Public Duty work, which thi "ear wa greatly inerea ed by the opening of ydney Harbour Bridge, \\"h n ncarly :3,050 ea c were treated by members of the Ambulance and _~uring Di,"i. ion of the Brigade.

I am incerely gratified to the e two officers for their loyal co-operation and a i tance. Throughout Canada, where conditions this year have been even more difficult O\'Ving to unemployment and depre ion, the Nursing Divi ion havoc done much to help in providing meal and a istance to the unemployed, in working in the Clinic, and in giving their service aenerously and frc ly whcre,'er they were required. l\Iy very capable District Officers are loyally supported by their Officers and member. The work of the Nur ing Divi ion in India is becoming more responsible and vital a time goe on, though the difficulties increase corre pondingl)'. In No. 1 Di trict (Punjab) members are till attending the l\Iilitary Ho pitals for \ .A.D. training, thouah as yet no grant has been made to them by the Government of India. It is atisfactory that the member in all part are able and willing to give 0 much time to the work in the Clinics and Indian Ho pitals, thereby coming into contact with and being able to a i t the very poorest in their Di trict . I regret that Mrs .

BERMUDA.-Mr. J. Fray, Divisional Superintendent, Hamilton Divi ion, on behalf of Dr. H. C.

The members of the H amilton Division have met for practice on 47 occasions during the year, and have had an average of 14·6 attendances. At the close of 1931 the strength of the Division

was 18 men; on the 31st December, 1932, it had increased to 22 members. The St. Gcorge' Division 11as not been so successful during the present year. Membership has decreased and it has not been possible for the Division to meet regularly for drIlls and practices .•-\lthough this Division was formed under fa,'ourable conditions, It does not appear that there is the same interest taken in the work of the Brigade as there is in Hamilton . The Annual Inspection of the Hamilton Division was held in July, and while the attendance of Brigade members was small there was a fairly large attendance of candidates. The Inspection, in the absence of the District uperintendent, was carried out by the Divisional Superintendent assisted by the President of the Division, who expres ed himself as highly satisfied with the records of the Division, The Bngade annual re-examination was al 0 held in July. The members have clone con iderable Public Duty, and on many occasions First Aid has bcen efficiently rendered . ilIenti on miaht be made of the fact that the Hamilton DI\ ISlon ha ' undertaken to supply Beach Patrols on Sundays and holidays; no doubt this sen' Ice "Ill be gr atly apprecIated during the coming summer. The work of thIS DiviSIOn has, generally speakIl1g, been "ery atisfactory during the year, but we are lookIng forward to much improvement during 1933, not only in increased funds but in a greatly increased member hip. A~ADA. -Dr. . J. Opp, Commi ioner for the Ontario District, on

behalf of ir Henry Pellatt, Chief Commis ioner for the Brigade Overseas within th Dominion of anada, report : In pre entmg this report I do so with pride in the accomplishments of the D1\ ISlons of all Dlstrict.s, dunng another year of difficult economic conditions. ~ 'ot only have t.he Dinsions continuec1their practices and drills, but have increased the num ber of PublIc Dutie held and the attendances thereat. :Many of the Divisions ha\ e contrIbut.ed to the general "eHare of the needy in their communities.

The e sernces have been admirably maintained and are in aclcllt.lon to the regular duties devoh'ing on the member hip. Great difficulty has becn experIenced by many members in maintaining their regular attendance at practice and dnll becau e of the uncertainty of employment and a number found it impossible to a tlcnd the ~ \nnu al In pecbons for this reason. The Annual Church _'e n Ice - have been universally held when the usual inspiring sermons have been gl\'cn, anc1 our thank cannot be too incerelyexpre sed to those clergymen who help U' by theIr Il1SpirIng \\'ord to" maintain our ideals". 11 Diyi ions haye been inspected by myself or by Di trict uperintendent Debne)" and Lady District Supenntendents :\[r . Henderson and :\liss Todd have performed uch duties as they have been called on to render. At no time in the history of our establishment in anada has there been a more loyal group of Officers than there is at present, and lt may be confidently tated that at no preyious time has there been a more univcrsal appreciation by the public, both official and in the communities at large, of the service rendered by the "Brigade". The confusion as between the re ponsibilities of the Brigade and the Association is clearing, though in some districts this still continues. Divisional Officers have been faithful in their responsibilities, and the .\nnual Returns for the year have been received more promptly than in any previous year The number of member proceeding to re-examination is more satisfactory than in pre"iou years. In all Districts the Nur~ing Di\'isions are well and properly uniformed; uch is not the case with the Ambulance Divisions, and though many are in uniform most of the e are much worn and too large a proportion of members are not in uniform. This militates against the appearance of members on duty, and it is hoped that before long the omission may be rectified. The equipment of mo t of the Di"ision is provided out of Divisional funds from membership fees , etc. A number of Divi ions add to these funds by seeking donations, holding dances, euchre parties, whist drives, and tag days: other Divi ions by receiving grants from local Community Funds. The equipment of many Divisions is

The retirement of ir Henry ?lIoncrieff mith from India in December last entailed his resignation from the po t of Chief Commissioner of the t. John ...\m bu lance Brigade Oyer ea within the Empire of India. ir Henry had been in charge of the Briaade Overseas in India since October, 1925, durin a \\hlCh period its actl\'ltle increased con iderably. In 1931 he attended the Centenary CelebratIons in London as the chief repre entatiye of the Empire. The Grand Prior of the Order, on the recommendation of the hief 0ll1mis.lOner of the Brigade OYerseas, has appointed as his succes or ir Da\'ld Petne, h.t., C.LE. C.Y.O., C.B.E., who ha al 0 ucceeded ir Henry a Chairman oI the Executiye Committee of t. John Ambulance A ociatlOn (Indian CounCIl). Her Excellency The Counte s of \ Yillingdon, our Patrones , .ho\\ed her continued intere t in our work by presenting a Challenge Bowl for competition by teams from ursing Diyision , and by inyiting the members oI the imla _Tursing Dl\'i Ion to Viceregal Lodge, Simla, on 27th eptember, where they aaye an interestIng dcmontration of ambulance work. During the year the Chapter-General approved the separatIon of Baluchi tan and the United Pro\'inces from :1\0. 1 Di trict and the placina of any Dl\'1SIOnS formed lD these areas under the direct control of the Chief Commi ioner, untIl such tIme as It may be considered expedient to form a District to include them. The ProvlDce of Bihar and Ori sa has also been eparated from 1-0. 2 District and placecl dIrectly under Headquarter. Two Cadet Ambulance Din IOn in the UnIted PrO\'lDces and one Ambulance Division at Patna are, therefore, now admil11ster d Irom Headquarters. This step was taken owing to the impo Ibihty of the "\'1 tant Commis ioners administering so big an area a had hitherto been allotted to them. This is part of a much wider scheme now under contemplatIOn for the complete reorganization of Brigade work in India so as to brin a it more lDtO hne WIth the political diyision of the country and the practical problem an lDg ther from. There has been an all-round increa e of actiyity wi th the exceptIon of ... -o. -l CMadras) District, which does not show any pro ares , and which is low lD submitting its report. The total increase in the number of Di\'i ion is 2 Ambulance, 2 adet Ambulance, and 3 Cadet Nursing Division Thl increase is reflected lD Inc.r a. ed membership. The most important deyelopment wa the formation of the Calcutta Police Corps, consisting of 10 Ambulance Diyision , which is referr d to lD detail below. In Bombay a ::'Iuslim Ambulance Dl\'i ion IS in proce s of formatIOn but had not been registered at the end of the year. TO. 1 Distnct reports three ne\\' Cadet "ursing Divisions, one in Delhi, one in Lahore, and one in imla, \\ hile t\\O new Cadet Ambulance Di\'isions 'w ere formed at ::'IalDpun and hJlwhabad, the e beIng the first Brigade units to be formed in the United Proyinces. In No. 2 District the di bandment of the ::"Iedical College Corps, 1st CakuHa Customs, 8th Sham bazar, and 20th Darbhanga Ambulance Di\,lslons was sanctIOned during the year, as all efforts to place them on an active basi had failed. The 3rd European and 6th Indian Police Divi ions were also dIsbanded in order that they might be reorganized as part of the new Pohce Corps. Details of the work performed in the four Districts and in the units attached to Headquarters are given below. No. 1 District (Lahore).-At the end of the year there were 10 Ambulance Divi ions in this District. The Simla Division was reyiYed and the mem ber \\ ere 111 attendance at the Durand football tournament and took part in the Eing's Birthday Parade. The Division also attended a Church Parade on t. John 's Day. \ Vith the exception of the Islamia and Sanatan Dharma Divisions all the College Divisions were acti\e and took part in Brigade work. The Government College Division reports 30 cases attended on Publ~c Dut.y and ~\'o removals. This Division won the Lord Reading All-I ndIa Educational InstItutIOns Ambulance Challenge Shield at the .\Il-Indla Competitions .. ~~e Railway Div:isions maintained their efficiency. The Carriage and Wagon DIVISIOn reports havlDg attended to approximately 1, 00 ca es, all m its own workshops. Two ambulance rooms have been organized by the raihvay administration at the Carriage and Vlagon, and Loco V/orkshops. The n u mber of "ursin g Divisions remains the same as last year, viz. six.

At the All-India Competitions the C~aring Cr<?ss, (( A" team won the Count ss of \ Villingdon Ambulance Challenge Bowlll1 the ladles team event, whil the haring Cross (( B" team and the Y. \ V.C.A. team were second and third.

At the Provincial Competition for the Hailey Challenge Bowl on 13th February the Charing Cross (( B " team was first. This is a record of which the Di"iSlOn may well be proud. The members of the Delhi Xursing Di\'ision took charge of the St.. John Ambulance i\. ociation tall at Delhi Baby \ \'eek in January. They gave daily demonstrations and also helped with the judging. Some members of this Division have attended the Briti, h ::'Iilitary Hospital for V .. \ .D. training.

The ~ urgeon-1l1- hlcf xpre 'sed his apprecia ion of their keenne s and efficiency. Xo . 2 DlslJ icl (CalClltla).-This Di -trict has made good progre s during 1932. 1\t the end of the year there were 22 "\mbulance Diyisions, 3 Nursing Di\'i ions, and 1 Cadet _. lusing l)i\'ision in the District. The outstanding e,-ent of the year was the forma tlon of the ne\\' Calcutta Police orps, con i ting of 10 Police Diyisions. Great. er (111 is due to :\fajor "'ooley, the Corps uperintendent, who has spared neither tllne nor energy III forming these Di"i ions and in bringing them up to standard. They are already a smart, \\'ell-dlsciplined body of men, with a good kno\\-ledge of FIrst Ald. The t\\·o Police Divi ions- 3rd European and 6th Indian-which pre"iously e)o.lsied ha\ e been disbanded and re-attached t.o the new Corp, and are included m 10 Dl\ iSlOns mentioned abo\'e. An Inspection Parade of the Corps was held in ~ 'ovember in honour of Dr. \ \'. C. Bentall, a Commander of the Order, \\'ho was on a visit to India. Three hundred Ofncers and men were on parade, and Dr. Bentall complimentecl them on their demon tration of tretcher drill. One orps (the illedical ollege Corps) and three Di\'i ions-No. 1 (Custom ), ::'\0. 8 ( 11ambazar), and ::\0 . 20 (Darbhanga)-have been disbanded during the year 0\\ lDg t.o inactivity. This is pecially regrettable in the case of Ko. 1 (Customs) Diyision, as tl1i Divi ion had a creditable war record, but all efforts at resuscitating it failecl . .I. TO. 9 (Patna) Diyi ion wu transIerred to the direct control of Headquarters, bel11g too far off for lD pections to be carried out. The . \ ]11 bulance Divisions were on duty at the Proclamation and Anni tice Parades, as well as at all the 1Ilelas, lunar eclip e a semblie , at.hletic events, and s\\'imming competition .. where they did very useful work. The total number of cases attended on Public Dut.y was 72 1, and at the variou melas a number of stretcher cases were transported to 110 pital. ~Io t of the cases treated were syncope, sunstroke, fractures, and cholera. Con idelable progre s has been made during the year in equipping the Division ' fully, and efforts are being made to standardize their uniforms.

A trial of the c~rryi~gheet was made J11 th e presence of members of the Canterbury ::'lounla111eenng Club and antcrbu ry Trampers Club, and those present expressed themselves as hIghly pleased \\"lth the demonstration and were of opinion that the sheet wa most Ultable for the purpose of rescue work in mountainous country. The Stores Depots at .\u c.kland, \Velhngton, and Christchurch have again done good work. The demands for matenal have been heavy, but all orders have been expeditiously dealt With. In order to commemorate the memory of Dr. Arnold Izard, :lI.D , :I!.R .C.S., L .R.C. P.> Knight of Grace of the Order, Dr. J . S. Elliott, of \Vellmgton, has pres 'nted a very handsome shield for competition by the Brigade. The shield \\ III be compcted for annually and will be open to Ambulance and Nursing DiVISIons 111 the \\'clhngton District. The services of Brigade men who are out of work have been requisitioned for Unemployment Camps. :\Iost of these Camps are held in country dIstricts and the Ambulance man acts as medical orderly, dealIng with all nunor complaints and injuries and also supervises the sanitary arrangements of th e camp, Good sen'ice has been rendered in this direction. The book which was issued from St. John's Gate to commemorate the entena ry Celebrations was much appreciated by those who were pri\'ileged to receIve a copy. The excellent execution of the book caused it to be much admired. . : \lthou gh extension of the Brigade work has continued durin g the year, there are se\'eral towns where St. John is not represented and where it is h igh ly desirable in the interests of the community that the Brigade should be in existence. Efforts will be made during the forthcoming twelve months to extend our activities in this direction. My thanks are due to the members of the Brigade for their zeal and ~el~-sacrifice in the performance of their duties. Especially would I express my apprecIation of the close attention given by members of the :'Iedical Profession. The increase in stre ngth and activities has resulted in greater demands being made on the Brigade Surgeons, and their services have at all times been freely given. In conclusion permit me to acknowledge the kindly expressions of appreciation which you have from time to time addressed to us in reference to the progress of the work in New Zealand, and which have proved most stimulating to all ranks.
