REPORT OF THE CHAPTER=GENERA L FOR THE YEAR 1933. THE CHAPTER-GENERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associates its Report for the year 1933. ANNUAL SERVI CE AND GENER AL ASSEMBLY. The nnual Festival of the Order was held on Mondav, 26th June, in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel of t . John the Almoner, in the ancient crypt. by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival, c.V.O., a Chaplain of the Order, at 8.30 a.m. The Annual Commemoration ervice wa held at 2.30 p .m., the ChapterGeneral, headed by the hoir of Hi Majesty's Chapel Royal and the Clergy, walking in procession from the Chancery at St. J ohn's Gate to the Church. The sen"ice was conducted by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival, and the . ermon wa preached by the Bi hop of Leicester, a Chaplain of the Order. The Annual General As embly of Members and Associates of the Order wa held after the ervice in the Chapter Hall at St. John's Gate. MajorGeneral the Earl of carbrough, the ub-Prior, pre ided in the absence through indi po ition of H.R.H . the Grand Prior. In opening the proceedings the Sub-Prior said : « We hall, I know, all share the great di appointment at the inability of the Grand Prior to be pre ent at our Annual A sembly this afternoon. He i ab ent by hi doctor's order. I have een him, and he asked me to expre to this A embly hi very real regret at hi enforced absence and that he ha con equently been unable to receive the newly appointed Knights of J u tice, which he a ked me to say he hope ~ to arrange to do at all early date. « He in tructed me al -o to read to you the ob ervations which he had intended to make, and the comments on the year's work to be reported by the Executive Officer. That I will do at a later stage in the proceeding. , but I feel that all pre ent would desire that we should send a me age expres ing our great regret that our beloved Grand Prior has been prevented from attending to-day and trusting that all will go well and that the cause of his absence will speedily be removed . May I ask you to approve that message to the Grand Prior. (Carried with acclamation. ) Before we commence our bu iness I hould like to draw attention to a rathar remarkable feature of this General A sembly, and I do so at this tage because time pres e. We have with u to-dav firstly the P rime Minister of Canada, a Knight of the Order, who, as we gratefully remember, and always shall remember, performed a knightly service to the members of our Order in Canada on the occa ion of our Centenary Celebration two years ago. His fortuitous presence this afternoon is v

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

no doubt due to world happenings, but I want on your behalf to assure him how greatly we appreciate the fact that having secured a very brief respite from hi arduous labours he should have chosen to devote that respite to our service. And, secondly, we have also another part of our Empire represented here in the person of the Governor-General of the Union of South Africa. He, as you know, is the Commander of our Commandery for Southern Africa. He has set a fine example of service for others, and is doing valuable work for the Order in that Union. The presenc~ of these ~wo repre entatives from overseas i noteworthy. It emphaslz~ the WIdespread character of our work within the Empire a~d the link between that work and the Gate. I am quite ure you will WIsh me on your behalf to offer to these two distingui h d representatives of our Dominions our most cordial greetings." The Secretary-General read cables from the Chief Commis ioner St. John Ambulance Brigade in Canada, conveying to the Grand Prior and the Chapter-General greeting from Officer and member of all ranks of the Brigade Over eas in Canada, and from the Commandery in New Zealand conveying the greetings of the Commandery for t. John's Day. Reports on the work of their re pective department during the year were made by the Secretary-General, the Director of Ambulance, the Hospitaller, the Librarian, and the Chief Commi ioner of the t. John Ambulance Brigade at Home and O,'er ea . The Sub-Prior then read the comment of the Grand Prior on the report ~f the ~xecutive Officers, as follows :Confreres, Before commenting on the reports ju t presented to u , I \\li11 remind you that it has been my duty to make the new triennial appointment which now take effect. The changes among my Executive Officer, though important, are few in number. To my great regret Colonel Pixley pa ed away thipring. He had been our Receiver-General since 1917, and had been constant in hi attendance and devoted to his duties until his retirement through illhealth last winter. The Order is fortunate in having ecured the ervice o~ Sir W~am Goschen to take his place, and I have plea ure in confirming hIS appoilltment for the next three year . I have also appointed our Regi trar, Colonel Perowne, to be Hospita11er and Chairman of the Hospital Committee. As Honorary Secretary of that Committee for nineteen vears he has been in the closest contact with all the administrative work of o'ur Ho pital and with the affairs of the Order generally in J eru alem and the ear East, and makes it his l?rincipal work. He takes the place of Sir Courtauld Thomson, who, foll~WIng on valuable services for the Order during the war, became Cha~an ?f our .Hosp.ital Committee in 1918, and ha thus completed five tnenmal penods ill that appointment, which included the reconstructio~ of the Hospital, with remarkable rapidity, after Lord Alienby's occ,:patIOn o~ Jerusalem, and also. the administration of my special Fund for ItS extenSIOn. For these and hIS other services to the Hospital we owe to Sir Courtauld our grateful acknowledgments and thanks. Colonel Peroyvne's promotion leaves the office of Registrar vacant, and I have appomted to that office Mr. Edwin Freshfield, whose father t(

many of us will remember was our Receiver-General prior to the late Colonel Pixley. " Lastly, Lord Shaftesbury, who was temporarily appointed Director of Ceremonies on Captain eton Christopher's retirement, and Sir John Duncan, who replaced Sir Percival Wilkin on as Chief Commissioner of the Brigade in 1931, are confirmed in their appointments for the triennial period. After con idering the r ports it is a pleasure to be able once more to congratulate the Order and the Executive Officers on another year of real progres . The Director of Ambulance has referred to a scheme, set on foot by Chapter-General, for holding free classes in First Aid for the unemployed. It is an excellent example of that personal ervice for which the Prince of Wale has 0 earne tly pleaded, and I am very glad to learn from the report that it i in actual operation. You will, I feel ure , have been struck by the gratifying increase in the Brigade at home. To have been able to register 90 new Ambulance and Nur ing Divi ion and 53 Cadet Division, with a re ulting increase in strength of 4,071, during the year is an achie\'ement which calls for our high commendation of the Chief Commis ioner and his Officers. His report hows how rapidly the work has increa ed, and i increasing, and we are encouraged to hope that the remarkable pirit of voluntary service which animate the member of the Brigade will enable it to keep pace with all demand a they ari e. "Our Ophthalmic Ho pital is giving increa ed ervices to both inpatients and out-patient, and I am glad to know our Ho pital Committee, and the 'Varden, are ready to co-operate with the Government in it furth r propo al for combating the scourge of blindness. "A regard our other work over eas the hancellor has earned our gratitude by pending a con iderable period of la t winter in East Africa, wll re he and Lady Hunt r-\Ve ton did valuable inspection work and encouraged the development of Fir t Aid, e pecially among the Police and on the Railway. " I am glad to note that the Brigade Overseas continues to increa e, and that lJOtable en'ices have been performed by its members in many parts of the Empire. " It i al 0 a great ati faction to me to know that the Commandery recently anctioned for the Dominion of New Zealand is now completed and in operation." The ub-Prior continued: " The Grand Prior desired me on his behalf to express his grateful thank to our ub-Prelate, the Bi hop of Leicester, for haying preached to us to-day, and the Officiating Chaplain for arranging the Services, and with that expression I am confident all pre ent will desire to a sociate themselves.' , The Chancellor said :'.' I know it would be your wi h to accord a vote of thank to our SubPnor for presiding. He is full of work for the Order and all the members of the Order, the Association, and the Brigade feel for the Sub-Prior high esteem and honour. All who know him love him, but it is only those who are brought into close contact with him in the executive work of the t(

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Order who know the time he devotes to its affairs. The Order is fortunate in having him as Sub-Prior, and it has profited much by his great knov:rledge, his ripe wi dom, and hi hard work for the Order. I know you wIll join in according him a hearty vote of thanks." The vote of thank wa carried with acclamation. The Sub-Prior expressed hi grateful thanks, while at the arne time regretting the cau e which placed him in the position of having the vote of thanks accorded to him. The Sub-Prior continued : " I have no de ire to detain you further, except to remind you that these gracious comments of the Grand Prior conclude the bu ine of our Assembly. I should like to say how touched we we~e to fin~ that H r Royal Highness Princess Beatrice found an oppo~t~mty of beu:-g 1?re ~nt at our Commemoration Service thi afternoon. Thl IS one more ll1dlcatlOn of the many that are offered of the abiding intere t which m en:ber of the Royal House take in the Order. I congratulate the Executive Officer on having once again been able to pre ent to u report ~ of real progre at home and overseas in our work for mankind, and I may add that the Order itself ha maintained that rate of progre by admitting to membership close on 1,000 additional members in the la t five year ."

Corporal R oland John \Villiam s, Plymouth Co-operative Division, t. J ohn Ambulance Brigade. Thl· inCident took place on the night of 1st Augu t last at Bovisand, near Plymouth. The night was pltch dark. A lad named Arthur Hill, whilst climbing about the clill lost hl balance and fell in two stages 100 feet on to the r ocks between hIgh and low water. The tide was ri ing. Corporal \Yilliams accompanied b~ Pte. X oy and Harnngton arrived in the ambulance and proceeded to the FlISt Ald Po t at BO\,l_and and procured a rope. Corporal ·W illiams with first aid matenal attached to his person was a t once lowered down the cliff by oyand H arrmgton. \Ylliiams was not wearing a cliff helmet and ran considerable risk of injury from falling stones, moreover the cliff face in places is q uite vertical, offenn~ no foothold at alL The rope proved to be too short and he was obliged to un.be the knot and drop the remaining 7 feet on to the rocks. The p atient had sustamed a fractured wrist, fractured and cut jaw and mouth, lacerations, and shock. Corporal \ Yllhams wa obliged to treat his patient by the aid of his electric torch but the bme taken exhausted the battery. He thereupon burnt his underclothes a flares m order to attract attention. H.JI.S. Rodney noticed the signal and sent a boat to rescue the men, who would otherwise have been drowned .

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONOUR. P.e. Richard Evan, outhport County Borough P olice . On 22nd November last two horses harnessed to a wagonette, bolted along L ord S~reet, Southport, through heavy traffic and continued into Albert Road. Pedestnans were crossing Albert Road at the time of the occurrence. Constable J ?hn Green made an unsucce_sful attempt to seize the reins as the horses passed hlm .. Constable Evans at once commandeered a motor \-an and started in pursuit standmg on t~e nearside running-board. On the econd attempt from the van to .grasp t~e rems h.e succeeded, but was dragged off and fell on his back. The van dn ver estImated hlS speed at thirty miles, whilst overtaking and running close up. t~ the horses. The constable was dragged on his back several yards before bnngmg the hor es to a standstill. He sustained shock and injuries and was off duty for seven days.

AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HO OUR. William Thomas John Barton, Driver-Salesman. On ~hursday, 10th August, 1933, at 5.10 p.m ., William B arton , on going into the fillmg store of the AnglO-American Oil Co., at Folkestone, heard a tappi~g

noise cominO" from an overhead galvanized petrol storage tank. On investigation he found Ge~rge John O' Brien (aged 16) inside the tank, uncon dous and moaning slightly. lr. Barton caught hold of t.he boy's arms and called for the foreman. Together they attempted to lift O'Brien out but were unable t.o do so. :'Ilr. Barton then aot into the tank and lifted him. ou t . Tlus t.ank is 6 ft. 6 1l1. from t.he ground, and ~easures 5 ft. 9 in. X -! ft . 6 in . X 2 ft. 6 in., there being a circular aperture in the top 1 inches in diameter. It contained no petrol at the time but was fu.ll of poisonous fumes, and although ;'\Ir. Barton was aware of thIS he entered It unprotected. Had he become overcome by the fume it is very doubtful :,ohether he could have been rescued in time to prevent erious conseq uenccs, pos "tbly t.he loss of his life, owing to the small size of the opening. It \\'as po sIble to lift the boy out, but this could not be done to a fully grown man. The boy was unconscious when rescued and conveyed to the local hospital, where he e\"cntually recovered.

Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, report a follow':The most important addition made to the Order' Library and :Mu eum is a fifteenth-century pani h codex, written about 1470, entitled The Book of Privileges DOllations Exemptions Confirmations Charters judgements etc. from Emperors Kings Queens Princes I"falltes infalltas Counts and 0.' oblemen of the Kingdoms of Spain aHd of Castile and of Leon, to the Order and Knt"ghts of a/nt john of j erllsalem. The book is a small quarto of 384 paper leave vvritten in a beaulifull small Gothic hand, and enriched with over 400 initial mo't delicalely drawn in fine line decoration in red, blue, and ,'iolet. The binding is contemporary, of stamped leather upon beechwood board ' . This codex was brought to our notice through the ale in Lucerne of an ancient library, which had stood undi turbed at chID' Nikol'burg, Moravia, ince 1669, the property of the Prince Dietrich lein. For it.s possession we are indebted to the generosity of Lord \Yakefi ld, Knight of Justice; Mr. H. Pirie-Gordon, Knight of JU ' tice; ,ir .\lgernoll Tudor-Craig, Commander, and Mr Stephen Ga elee, Commander. The past year has seen the publication of two v,ork of con iderable interest to the Order. The first i Colonel King' The Rule, tatlltes alld C'ustoms of the Hospitallers, 1099-1310. It i a tran lation of tbe original documents, with introductory chapters and note, and mu t always remain a standard work on the subject, since it i e sential to a correct understanding of the early hi tory of the Knight of St. John. It brings before us more vividly than anything else can do the kind of life led by the Hospitallers in the Holy Land in the days of their primitive faith and zeal, whil t as yet uncorrupted by wealth and luxury. The book contains sixteen illustrations, and is publi hed by Iessr. Methuen tiT Co., price 21s. The second publication i Mr. H. \V. Fincham's second edition of The Order of the Hospdal of St. john of jerusalem, first published in 1915. It contains a complete and detailed description of the ancient buildings of the Grand Priory at Clerkenwell, and is not only a standard work but the only work on the subject. It has been brought fully up to date, and gives a detailed account of the many important additions made to the Order's collection of objects of historical and antiquarian interest T

Among the more important purchases for the Order's Library and Museum are the following : (1) A copy of the portrait of Fr.

THE GRAND PRIORY CHURCH. The three Festival Services for which the Committee i re pon ible were duly observed upon their respective dates. The Dedication and Benefactors", on 10th March, was conducted by Chaplain the R ev. Prebendary L . J. Percival, C.V .O. , Precentor of the Chapel Ro al. The" Blessed Gerard", on 3rd October, was conducted by haplain the Rev. C. B.

Professor Claude Jenkins, Canon of Canterbury, and 520 members of the Brigade were present in uniform. On the Recapture of Jerusalem ", on 9th December, Chaplain the R ev. E. H.

On 21st June the Church was lent to the National Benevolent ociety of Watch and Clockmakers for their Annual Thanksgiving ervice, when a large congregation assembled, including the Ma ter, \\Tarden , and Court of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. An entirely new and efficient warming apparatus was installed in January and at once made a great difference to the winter temperature in the Church. Mrs. Man Stuart, Dame of Grace, gave a glass case for the proces ional cope which preserves and displays this beautiful vestment. The dilapidated condition of the organ is still a matter of great anxiety to the Committee. The Committee has asked the Council of the Order to appoint an architect to control and advise on any proposed alterations or gifts in or about the Church. The banners of the undermentioned knights were put up in the Church in the order named during the period covered by this report: The Earl tI

THE ST. JOHN A1I1BULANCE GAZETTE. There is nothing of great interest to report in connection with the Gazette during the year under review. There is reason to believe that the paper is being read by an equal number of people, but the circulation ha been reduced omewhat owing to unemployment amongst members of the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade. Divisional Superintendents who have been obliged to reduce their orders have almo t invariably written a COy ring letter of appreciation of the Gazette and said that their orders would be increa ed directly their men were again in a po ition to buy the paper.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER. ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JERUSALEM. The following is extracted from the Forty-second Annual Report of the Committee:His Royal Highness the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint Colonel J. T. Woolrych Perowne Hospitaller for the Triennial Period ending 23rd June, 1936, in succession to Sir Courtauld Thomson,

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

R.B.E., C.B., ~ho held that ?ffice from 1.919-1933, a longer period t~an any of hIS predecessors smce the openmg of the Hospital in 1882. SIT Court auld Thomson, who still remains a member of the Committee has, during his tenure of office, seen the Hospital twice restored-onc~ after the War, and once after the earthquake in 1927-the Out-patient Department enlarged and remodelled, and the Annexe built and put into a~tive commission. Colonel Perowne was Honorary Secretary of the COmmIttee from 1903 to 1908 and a member till 1914 and has acted as Honorary Secretary from 1919 till his promotion to Hospitaller on St. John's Day, 1933. The Hon. Sir William Goschen, Receiver-General, has succeeded to the post ?f Honorary Treasurer, vacant by the regretted death of Colonel Pixley. The other new members of Committee appointed by the Grand Prior are Lord Rockley, the Earl of Lytton, Lord Plender, Colonel C. de W. Croo~shank, and. Mr. Engleheart, Lieut.-Col. E. J. Tr~vor Cory, as Hospltaller of Bndgend, represents, ex officio, the Pnory for Wales. The work accomplished by the Hospital Staff shows a falling off compared with 1932. This is accounted for, first by the absence on long leave of. the "Varden and the consequent shortage of staff, accentuated still further by lack O! yolu~tary help which the Hospital has been so fort,;.mate .m ~btammg m previous years, secondly by the water famme and thrrdly by the political disturbance in Octo ber and after. The Sub-Warden, Dr. Norman Manson, has resigned his post after more than four years' devoted work. The new Sub-\Varden has had two years' experience of Hospital work in Palestine having been on the staff of the C.M.S. Hospital at Nablus. He speaks reads, a.nd writes A~abic and understands the people. He has frequently helped ill our HospItal when on leave from Nablus and so is conversant with our routine. Before coming to Palestine he was Eye Specialist to the County Council of Durham. There have ?een no bu~ding extensions to report during the year, but several mmo~ alteratIOns have. been sanctioned and it is hoped that t~e Annexe will shortly be prOVIded with a boundary wall. Your COmmIttee .h.as also sanction~d the extension of the Dispenser's flat by the a?ditIOn of an open~arr verandah facing East over the Hospital and looking towards the Hills of Moab. This will prove a very great boon to the occupants of the fiat in the hot weather. The supply of water has been a major problem, as foreshadowed in la~t year s report. The large cistern gave out, for the first time for ~hrr!y years, and the Municipa~ supply ~as so atte!lUated-running once ill SIX ~ays o.nly over. long penods of trrne-that It was not possible to ~ccept m-patIents durmg these crises, except emergency cases. In August It. beca~e necessary to instal an additional tank, at a cost of £5, over the SIsters Quarters for supplying the operating theatre. One hundred metres of water cost £8 plus £1 for connecting the supply. No further steps have been taken with regard to the South Block for paying patie.nts. ~he o~iginal plans have been found too costly and your CommIttee still walts for the submission for its consideration of plans that shall be at once satisfactory and reasonable in cost.

Government insists, and rightly, on a high standard in its requirements for Hospital buildings. None the less the necessity for this Block is pressing. In l~t year's Report by the Warden, he wrote: "Among the cases exarrune~. were 57 Army, 34 Royal Air Force, and seven members of the familIes of the foregoing. There were also 109 monks and nuns (European), 150 Government officials and employees (and in 42 cases ophthalrruc reports were submitted at the request of the District Medical B~ards) ; 142 British and American citizens were also treated." And agam, the Sub-Warden in his monthly Report for May, writes as fo~ows :. "yve are kept busy with an ever-increasing number of cases for illvestIgatIOn and official reports for the Army, R.A.F., and Governme.nt." Your Committee is strongly of opinion that the HospItal was ?ever originally intended for the reception and treatment of such patIents. If the South Block were built they would naturally be treated th.ere and expected to pay according to their means or, if Government offiCIals and employees, according to the schedule sanctioned by Government. The Hon. Secretary, accompanied by Mrs. Perowne, Honora~y Secretary of the Ladies' Linen Guild, visited the Hospital in April and were hospitably entertained during their three weeks' stay by the Warden and Mrs. Strathearn. The Chancellor and Lady Hunter-Weston were also in Jerusalem for a few days at the same time and the opportunity was taken of inviting His Excellency the High Commissione~ to 012 en officially the Annexe and to unveil the Hunter-Weston Memonal, whIch forms part of the Annexe. The ceremony which was arranged by the Warden on very short notice took place on Friday, 7th April at .4.30 p.m. Only members of the Order in Jerusalem and a few people rnterested in our work were invited under the circumstances. His Excellency, who was received by the Chancellor and the Honorary Secretary and by the Warden and his staff in their mantles at the Great Gate, in a few appropriate words declaring the Annexe open, referred in felicitous terms to the splendid work the Order was doing in Palestine and complimented the Warden and his Staff on their share in carryinE? out the Order's mission of healing which the Government so hIghly appreciated. He then unveiled the Hunter-Weston Memorial (which still awaits completion) and the Chancellor on behalf of the Order, and of Lady Hunter-Weston as Donor, replied, thanking His Excell~ncy for coming, and giving a short account of the genesis of the Memonal. He then presented to the Warden the gold watch, engraved with the arms of the Order, which had been voted to him by Chapter-General to replace the one of which he was relieved by the bandits on the Jericho road in November, 1931. The Warden and Mrs. Strathearn afterwards entertained to tea in the Warden's Lodge all those who had been invited to the ceremony. Field-Marshal Viscount Allenby and Lady Allenby also visited the Hospital on a later date, as did the newly-appointed Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem (who was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Graham Brown), and the Bailiff of Egle (Sir John Hewett) and Mrs. Atkinson. Dame Louise McIlroy, D.B.E., M.D., D.SC., of the Royal Free Hospital, an Officer of the Order, inspected the Hospital later in the year, and in sending some excellent snapshots of the Hospital and Annexe to the Hospitaller, she

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

wrote: " I think your Hospital is the best-equipped In titution I have ever seen. It is infinitely better than a good many in London, and everywhere I went I heard its praises sung. The work Dr. Strathearn is doing is marvellous." It will be recalled that in the Report for 1932 several paragraphs were devoted to the subject of "Blindness in Palestine". Reference wa made to the invaluable report dealing with it which had been submitted to the Government of Palestine by the Warden. There were in that Report three suggestions made for dealing radically with the problem. All of these received the hearty approval of the Government, but or:Jy two were adopted to be put forthwith into practical effect. Fmance ~as the o?~tacle tha.t. s~o~d in the way of the adoption of the !h~d proposltIOn---:-the .mltIatIOn of a School in Jerusalem for the traInm~ of Ar?-b . gIrls In the elementary rules of Hygiene, Home Nursmg, SamtatIon, and First Aid. The Order was invited to un?ertake the responsibility of organizing, superintending, and financmg the School. Chapter-General voted a sum of £300 to cover the co.st of the experiment for one year under the control of your Cornrruttee, and the H~norary Secretary was commissioned to proceed to Jerusa~e~ to co~fer wlt~ the Warden and, if necessary, with the High CommIssIOner, WIth a VIew to launching the scheme. When, however, the Hono~ary Secretary arrived in Jerusalem in April, he found that the house whIch the W~rde~ had hoped to rent-a house eminently adapted for the purpos.e, bemg, In fact, a school-had been quite unexpectedly taken on agam for an?ther twelve months by the sitting tenants. A search for another .sUItable house proved abortive, and as nearly all houses change hands In Jerusalem at Moharram it became evident that it would b~ necessary to wait another year before any beginning could be made ~th the" village school".. Lord Lytton, who was proceeding to Pale.s~me <l:t the end of 1933, kIndly offered his help in discussing the pOSItIon WIth the Warden, and he was authorized to secure if po sible a suitable home for the school. In .addition to the work in Hospital and ~ nnexe, the Staff of the HospItal has for. mar:y. years be~n responsible for the superintendence of SIX OphthalmIC Climcs belongmg to Government Hospitals in Acre Beersheba, Gaza, Nablus, Ramleh, and Tulkeram. A seventh wa added in 1932 at Jaffa. Three more have been added in 1933 viz. at Hebron and Majdal in the south, and at Safed in the north. Thi~ throw an. ,:d~ti0.nal bur.den on the Staff, as a quarterly visitation of these Clmlcs IS ImperatIve,. and an additional burden on the Exchequer, a the necessary travellmg costs have to be met. But with the increase ?f work in the. ~ospital, in spite of-or perhaps, because of-all that IS done at the ClmICs-it be~ame obvious that the present staff- a Warden, a .Sub-Warden, an~ a Re~Istrar-would not be enough to cope properly ~Ith the quarterly InSpectIOn of these additional Clinics when the original SIX were not always regularly visited, as they should have been. The Order, therefore, has sanctioned th~ appointment of an additional member of t~e Staff in order that the work of supervision may be regularly carned out. No fresh appointment has at present been made. The Income and Expenditure Account shows that the total expenditure for the twelve months ending 30th September was £5,586 18s. 6d. and J

Cont.

that after taking into consideration the income from subscript~ons, donations and interest on investments the nett excess of expendIture over income was £4,244 2s. 6d., compared with £3,~75. 19s. 9d. for the previous year or an inc~ease of £2.68 2s. 9d. The maIn mcreases are due to higher prices for mamtenance In Jerusalem! and to expenses under the headings of Travelling and Drugs and EqUIpment. . Your Committee expresses to Lady Watson, the Honorary Treasurer m Jerusalem, its great gratitude for her ceaseles~ endeavours ~o prom~te the welfare of the Hospital, not only by collectmg funds for Its mat~nal support, but also for the actual service she g~ve.s we~kly to the Lmen Room. That the high level of her subscnpt~on list has not been maintained this year can be no matter of surpnse to th?se who know the increasing difficulty of finding money for the HospItals at ho~e. Mr. Horne Stevenson, the Honorary Secretary for Scotla!ld, recer~es once again the sincere thanks .of the Committee ~or his help m collectmg financial support from the fnends of ~he Hosplta~ across the B?rde~. The Committee is glad to take thIS opportumty of eX1?ressmg ~ts thanks publicly to those who during the past year have gIVen speClal donations, as follows : Two Scialytic Lights, from the Great Priory of England and Wales. Books for the Hospital Library, from The Church House, Harrogate through Colonel Milburn, K.G.St.J.. . $400 (in addition to $100 in 1932) for fillmg the two round wmdows in the Hospital with painted glass, from Mrs. Stanley Flagg, of Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia. . . . To the Ladies' Linen Guild, your CommIttee would agaIn exp~ess ItS grateful acknowldgement for- the constant flow of necessary eqUIp~ent for the domestic side of the Hospital as well as for other donatIons, such as an additional operating table. .... The Committee is especially pleased to record ItS satIsfactIon WIth the interest taken in the work of the Order in the Holy Land by the Order's Subordinate Establishments overseas. Your Committee feels that every effort should be made to strengthen .this. bond betw~en Headquarters and the vigorous young Commandenes In South A£r:ica and New Zealand, as well as in Canada and other parts of the EmpIre. Financial help, which is here gratefully acknowledged, has come from New Zealand Canada, South Africa, and India. Mr. C. J. Tunks, Chairman of the Auckland Centre of the Ambulance Association, and Hospitaller and Almoner of the Commandery in New Zealand, writes: <tAt our annual St. John's Day service, the Primate delivered the address and made special reference to the Hospital. Having read copies of the Hospital Report the Jewish Rabbi Goldstein and the Secretary of the Synagogue both attended the Service, and the sum of £5 5s. has been donated towards the Hospital work from the Synagogue Funds." Your Committee cannot conclude this Report without expressing to the Warden and his colleagues and to Lady Watson, to the Acting Matron and the Nursing Staff, and to all the other workers in the Hospital, British or Palestinian, its appreciation of their devoted service and their unceasing efforts to maintain in every way possible the high standing of the Hospital and to enhance the reputation and prestige of the Order in the Holy Land which gave it birth eight centuries ago.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

The. Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance CommIttee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of th~ work of t.he St. John Ambulance Association for the information of HIS R oyal HIghness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General :_ OBITUARY. The Committee learnt with great regret of the death of The Earl of Ranfurly, G.C.M.G., P.C., Bailiff Grand Cross of the Order on 1st October and of Colonel R. B. Airey, C.M.G., D.S.O., an Officer ~f the Order o~ 23rd June. I:ord Ranfurly was appointed Director of the Ambul~nce Departm,ent 111 1916 and worked assiduously and almost daily at St. John s. Gate through?ut the Great \\ar until his re ignaLion in 1919. Colonel Arrey was appomted Assistant Director of tores in 1925 and succeeded the late Mr. W. H. forgan as head of that Department in 1931. I 'STRUCTIO . The nu~ber of certificates issued in England, Ireland, and 'Vales during the year IS as follows :-

R~turns ~om Over~eas Centres received to date show the number of certIfica~es Issued durmg the year to be approximately 32 540 as compared WIth 36,016 last year.

The number of v?uchers issued during the year through the medium of Detached Classes IS 8,559, as compared with 5,762 in the previous year. Per~aps th~ I?-0st noteworthy feature in connection with the issue of certIficates IS m connection with classes for the unemployed. During

Cont.

the year the Order placed at the disp~sal of th~ Associ.at~on a sum of money to enable it to finance classes m first aId consIstmg solely of unemployed persons. The Association accordingly undertook to supply free textbooks, to make no charge for examinations, and to pay the examiners' fees and expenses. It was anticipated that the majority of classes would be able to find free accommodation for lectures and that, with their customary generosity, members of the medical profession would instruct gratuitously. Both assumptions proved correct and a number of classes were carried to a successful conclusion; but not a few also fell through, sometimes because numbers dwindled as the men found employment and sometimes-but more rarely-for lack of a desire for useful knowledge on the part of the students, but never for lack of encouragement on the part of those members of the Association or Brigade who were supervising or assisting with the instruction or control of the class. The scheme followed the appeal of the Prince of Wales for Social Service, and His Royal Highness expressed his approval of it. His Royal Highness Prince George also showed his sympathy and interest by presenting certificates to those who were successful at an examination at Wednesbury, on 20th April. In contrast to a motor 'bus company which declined an offer of free instruction in first aid to its employees may be mentioned the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited, which has made arrangements for the whole of its conductors to receive instruction; the Company has already approximately 1,000 men holding first aid certificates. Classes continue to be organized by the Church Army, the Salvation Army, and at several of H.M. Prisons and Borstal Institutions. Overseas classes outside the areas of Centres have been held in Singapore, where H.E. the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, a Knight of Grace of the Order, presented 80 certificates to successful students; in Iraq, for the Levies, where Brigadier J. G. Browne, a Knight of Grace of the Order, who originated these classes in 1928, has been succeeded by Lieut.-Colonel C. R. Barke; in Shanghai, for the Fire Brigade; and in Uganda and Zanzibar, where first aid is being strenuously taken up by the Police. The classes in Kenya continue to thrive, as also those for the Police ill Palestine under Captain Spicer's able and energetic guidance. DELEGATION TO CANADA. Before referring to the activities of Centres Overseas mention must be made of the impending Delegation to Canada. For many years past the Canadian Branch has been one of the most active of the Overseas Centres and a desire has been expressed for information regarding the future development of the work. H.R.H. The Grand Prior ha accordingly authorized a Delegation consisting of Sir John Prescott H ewett, G.C.S.!., KB.E., C.LE., (Bailiff Grand Cross) Bailiff of Egle, and Mrs. Lorna Ethel Atkinson (a Dame of Justice and the daughter of Sir John Hewett) to visit that Dominion" for the purpose of reviewing the various aspects of the work and to advise as to its future development ". The Delegation will accordingly sail for Canada on 21st October, 1933.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

CENTRES OVERSEAS. Australia.- The Committee learnt with great regret of the death of Dr. T. Storie Dixson (a Knight of G:race of the Order) on 9th December, 1932, at the age of 78 years. Dr. DIxson may be regarded as the pioneer of ambulance work in New South \Vales, and as one of the founders of t~e St. John AI?bulance Brigade in that State: indeed he also assisted WIth the expansIOn of t~e work of the Order in other parts of the Commonwealth. <?n the for:natIOn of the Central Council in Australia Dr. Dixson was appomted Charrman and not long afterwards Chief Commissioner for the Brigad~ in Australia (Western Australia excepted). After the death of Dr. DIxson the Central Council was disbanded as it had been ~ound t?at owing to the vast di tances in the Commonwealth it was ImpractIcable to hold regular representative meetings of the Council. Reports from the Centres in Australia indicate that all of them are thor?ughly active. Headquarters had the plea ure of a visit from the PreSIdent of the New South \Vales Centre, Sir Philip \V. Street, K.C.M.G., and Lady Street, and also from Sister A. B. Parry, Secretary of the Centre. The . Bri~ish ~i~~a Centre, one of the more recently formed, is exten~mg ItS actIVItIes, and Headquarters had the pleasure of a vi it from ItS Honorary Treasurer, Mr. W. G. mellie. In Canada also the Association suffered a evere loss by the death of Colonel ~orne Drum, C.B.E., M.D., a Commander of the Order, on 22nd April .. Colonel Drum had held office as Director-General for onlv a s~lOrt penod, but had already proved himself a mo t capable and actIv~ officer. Colonel John Thomas Clarke, C.B.E., M.C., M.D., has been appomted to take over his duties. The Ceylon Ce-?tre has as usual ~ee-? thoroughly active, more especially amongs~ ~he P~l1ce , and the ASSOCIatIOn had the advantage of di cussing the pOSItIon WIth Dr. F. O'B. Ellison, the Honorary Secretary of the Centre. . Hong Kong has once more pursued and extended its activitie with ~Ilgour. The. esteem in w~ich the Centre is held by the local population IS refl.ected m the finanCIal support accorded to it. One noteworthy dona~IOn of $70,000 by Mr. Chau Man Chi, has enabled the Centre to prOVIde a headquarters for the use of the Association and Brigade in Hong Kong,. and a piece of stone taken from St. John's Gate will furnish the foundatIOr: ston.e of t?e new building. Headquarters has had the advantage of dISCUSSIOns WIth the Hon. Sir V(illiam Shenton, the Honorary !reasur.er, and M~s: ~angley, the Sec~et~ry m Hong Kong, who explained m d~ta~ the actIVItIes of the ASSOCIatIOn and the Brigade in the New Terntones. In India the Association has been handicapped for a number of years by a lack of .funds, and efforts have been made to obtain a share of the funds whIch ~~re co~ected during the Great War by the Indian Br~ch of the BntIsh Jomt War Committee of the British Red Cross Soc~ety and Order of St. J ohn, and handed over after the War to the In~Ian Red Cross Society which was subsequently established in 1920. It IS hoped that an understanding has now been arrived at between the t~o bod~es to t?e satisfaction of each under the very able guidance of Srr DaVId Petne, who holds the position of Chairman of each body.

Cont.

The year has been one of progress and the Association had many useful discussions with Sardar Bahadur Balwant Singh Puri, O.B.E., who for a number of years has been Assistant General Secretary of the Indian Branch. In 1\ ew Z ealand a position imilar to that in India arose over War Funds which were handed over at the end of the War to a body known by the somewhat peculiar title, (( New Zealand Branch of the British Red Cross and Order of St. John." The position has now been rectified by the creation of a New Zealand Red Cross Society and the formation of a joint body compo ed of an equal number of St. John and New Zealand Red Cross representatives which will in future control these funds. The Commandery, the establishment of which was approved recently by Chapter-General, i in process of formation but the several Centres of the Association till continue to deal direct with headquarters at St. John's Gate, and are thoroughly vigorous. The ommandery in outhern Africa being now firmly established, the work of the Association continues to make marked progress, details of which appear in the Report of the Commandery Director of Ambulance at page 64. TEXTBOOKS. The revi ion of lYotes on Military Sanitation has been completed and the Committee desires to express its indebtedness to Major Hugh Arthur Sandiford, M.C., M.B., R.A.M.C., who very kindly undertook the task of revision. This manu cript is now in the hands of the printers. An effort ha been made during the year to secure copies of early Textbook publi hed by the A sociation since its inception, and with this end in view an appeal was made in The St. John Ambulance Gazette and in the journal First A id. The generous response was most satisfactor and there 1 now a very representative collection of books at Headquarters . COM PETITIO TS.

The Eliminating Competitions for the Police Forces of England, \ ales, and the Isle of Man were held in January at Liverpool, Darlington, Doncaster, Birmingham, Brighton, Exeter, Aberystwyth, and London. Ninety-one teams competed, an increase of seven on the previous year. The Final was held at the Midland Grand Hotel, St. Pancras, London, on 21st February. The J udges were :-Dr. N.

The" Pim " Challenge Cup and the prizes were presented by ir Hugh Turnbull, who said that every year the work of the teams seemed to improve and this he felt was due to the interest which the Competition had created amongst the police of the country. This year 91 teams competed in the District Competitions, an increase of seven on last year, but that number did not represent anything like the total number of Police Forces, and he hoped that in a few years' time every force in the country would compete in the Preliminary Competitions. The need for first aid knowledge among the police was increasing every

Cont.

year, very largely owing to the lamentable increase. of road acciden.ts. The CompetItIOn was also of great value in affordmg an opportumty for the men of different forces to meet and to get to know each other. That was for the good of the service as a whole . He ~a~ sure the police would wi h to thank the t. John Ambulance ASSOCIatIon for the admirable way in which the Final Competition wa.s arrange? every year. The Ambulance Committee of the Order WIshes agam to thank Ir. John laxwell, Managing Direct.or, and. Mr. Jos~P~ Grossman, Studio Manager of British InternatIOnal PIctures,. LImIte~, for so generously providing the staging for the te~I? test ill the Fm~l, both of the Railway and of the Police CompetItIOns.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE AT HO fE.

Major-General Sir john Duncan, the Chief Commis ioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my Annual Report as Chief Commissioner of the St. john Ambulance Brigade (at Home). STRENGTH.

The increase in both the number of new Division and in the personnel during 1933 has been remarka bly satisfactory. I had thought that the increase in 1932 had been so great that the Brigade could not hope to keep up the same rate of progress, but it has even been surpassed during the year 1933. This great increase in strength and in new Divisions is highly necessary in view of the greater responsibilities thrown on the members of the Brigade by the larger number of accidents which occur owing to the conditions of modern life. The fact that so many new Divisions have been formed, and the large increase of both trained men and women, reflects the greatest credit on all members of the Brigade. It is the result of their keenness and efficiency, and the value of the services they have rendered, that has encouraged new members to join. I am particularly glad to have to report that there has been a very large increase in the number of Cadets. The value of thi training, and the principle inculcated of helping others, must haye an irnmen e influence on the formation of character amongst our young members. A certain number of these may drop out of this movement as they grow up, but they will have acquired the principles of the Order and will be better citizens thereby, whilst those who continue as adult members will be amongst our future most valuable members, having acquired their training so young. The greatest credit is due to those members of the Brigade who have encouraged and trained these Cadets. The actual increases during the year in new Divisions are :Ambulance Nursing .

WORK OF THE BRIGADE.

In studying the reports from the Commissioners, one cannot help being struck by the vast amount of self-sacrificing work which is carried out by the memb r of the Brigade for the public. This work divide it cH into two di tinct categories. On the one hand there is the (( fir t aid" in industry carried out by members of the Brigade belonging to units formed within particular industries, and on the other hand there is first aid" to the general public. In both these spheres of work the activities of the Brigade are extending and being more generally recognized. I find that managers of busin sse are always anxious that units of the Brigade should be formed \\'ithin their works, and they usually afford them much financial as i tance; whi1 t the general public looks more and more to the members of the Brigade for first aid" in case of accidents. An eloquent te timony to the value of the work being carried out by the member of the Brigade i the fact that last year the enormous number of 471,731 case of accident and sudden illness were attended by members of the Brigade. This compares with 460,253 cases in 1932. The demands on the services of the members of the Brigade appear to grow year by year. It is being met by increased keenness and efficiency, and by the formation of new Divisions. I cannot speak too highly of the self-sacrificing work which is being carried out, and the splendid spirit which is being shown. The attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and Welfare Centres undertaken by members of the Nursing Divisions continue to increase. Last year there were 27,642 attendances of one hour or more, compared with 25,279 in 1932. The valuable work carried out by the Nursing Divisions is fully d alt with in the comprehensive report by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, for whose whole-hearted support and devotion to duty I am greatly indebted. I have again to thank her for the very large number of inspections which she has carried out, and for the intense interest she has taken in maintaining the efficiency of the Nursing Divisions. It

ROAD SERVICE.

The importance of this service continues to grow with the increase both in speed and number of motor vehicles. It is likely to become one of our most important activities. The serious nature of the injuries when accidents occur on the road demands a high standard of skill on the part of those rendering first aid". I am sa~isfied that the members of the Brigade recognize the serious responsibilities that they have undertaken in this respect, and are doing their utmost to meet them by increased efficiency. This road duty involves great self-sacrifice, It

for it takes place principally on holiday, and tho e who carry it out have to sacrifice their 1 isure hours for the purpo e, but that keenness and zeal for it i maintained i hown by the fact that no few r than 17,041 road accident were treated by the Brigade personnel in 1933, compared with 14,136 in 1932. Throughout the country there are 1,061 First Aid Po -ts, of \vhich 196 are permanent Road ide Fir t Aid Hut. Thi- compare with 1,021 Fir t Aid Po t and 91 permanent Po t in 1932. MOTOR AMBULAXCE

Iii

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Trainings were resumed in 1933, 50 per cent of the Reserve completing a course of seven days' training at Royal Naval Hospitals during the year, the maximum permitted by the Admiralty. The Inspecting Officer in his report to the Medical Director General of the Navy states, "The individual reports from In pecting Medical Officers on the Reservi ts trained were up to the high standard attained in previous years." In connection with inspections the Inspecting Medical Officer reports, " 81 per cent of the total strength concerned were present, none being absent without excu e. The reservists excused attendance were unable to be released from their employment. The men paraded smartly and were well-di ciplined. Their standard of keenness and efficiency was high. I have to report that the Royal Naval. uxiliary Sick Berth Reserve is up to full strength and ready for immediate ervice." The Nlilitary Hospitals Reserve.-The total strength of this reserve on the 31st December, 1933, was 1,488 (excluding specialist ), a reduction of 66 over the previous year. 754 Reservists undertook a seven days' course of training at Military Hospitals-50 per cent of the reserve, the number permitted by the War Office. The reports received from Military Hospitals on the work of the Reservists were mo t satisfactory. Voluntary Aid Detachments.-There are 265 St. John Voluntary Aid Detachments regi tered, with a total personnel of 8,8 t , of which 1919 are mobile members.

ACCOU. TS. I must again report that I have been much impressed by the way in which units have collected sufficient funds to pay their way, and in many cases to build headquarters. In view of the great depre ion which still exists in almost all industries, this has been a remarkable achievement. It is a thankless task to collect money for any purpo e, however worthy, and great credit is therefore due to all those members who have helped to collect the necessary funds to enable the valuable work of the Brigade to be carried on. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT. I am glad to be able to report again that the work of the Brigade has received increasing recognition on the part of the Municipal Authorities, Chief Constables, and other local authorities. Their support is of great value. I would also like to thank the Press for the help it has always given in making known the work of the Brigade, and in the many cases in which it has given assistance in raising funds to enable the members to carry out their duties. CONCL USIO In conclusion, I am pleased to say that during the past year the work of the Brigade has made decided progress in every direction. In numbers the advance has been most remarkable, whilst I am satisfied that the efficiency has increased proportionately. This is a wonderful record in a year of such deep industrial depression. T.

AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

I have again to offer my thanks to those members of the medical profession who have so generously helped us in our work; without their help this great progress which I have recorded for the year would have been impossible. I must finally thank all members of the Brigade, from Commissioners down to the last-joined Cadet, for their valuable services. The foregoing report speaks for itself as to the value of those services, but it does not bring out the immense amount of hard work and self-sacrifice which those services have involved to the members of the Brigade who carried them out, and it is to them that I wish to convey my thanks. The trust which the public have placed in the efficiency of the Brigade has been in my opinion fully justified. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. Colonel J. L. leeman, the Chief Commissioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas for the year ended 31st December, 1933. There has been a net increase of 33 Divisions, as 44 new Divisions (32 Ambulance and 12 Nursing) were formed during the year and 11 Divisions (9 Ambulance and 2 Nursing) were disbanded.

As a mark of their approval of the assistance rendered at Shanghai in the ino-Japanese conflict, when the Hong Kong District staffed and ran a hospital of 500 beds for two months, the citizens of Shanghai have presented the Hong Kong District of the Brigade Overseas with ttJ:ee handsome trophies in silver and each member of the detachment WIth medal. The~e were exhibited at St. John's Gate during the year and have now been returned to Hong Kong. The special Badge awarded by Chapt r-General to the members of the detachment were also prepared and forwarded to Hong Kong. The Hong Kong District has since then added to its valuable work by forwarding ambulance stores and equipment to Peking to aid the wounded resulting from the fighting about the Gr at vVall of China. There has been great activity in the work of the Hong Kong District during the year and a fifth motor ambulance has now been put into service. Another feature of the year has been the regi tration of several new Nur ing Divisions. It is a splendid te timony of the spirit which animates all concerned with the Hong Kong Di_trict that whether in peace or war it sets such a fine example. I};DIA.

Their Excellencies inspected the Bombay orps and the Lady \ \ 7illingdon Building on the 13th August when nearly 500 members of the Brigade were on parade. Another outstanding event of the year was the inspection of the Brigade at Calcutta by Hi ' Excellency the ommander-in-Chief. During the year the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, Sir David Petrie, was able to visit nearly all the Divisions of the Brigade Overseas in India. His report on his vi its ha been of the utmost value and there i no doubt that hi vi its have been an inspiration and help to Divisions. KEKYA. H re the Kenya Police Divi ion continues to increa e in strength and has a pI ndid record during the year of cases of first aid dealt with in most trying and difficult condition. The value of first aid 'work in this part of Africa is con iderable and this Division is acquitting itself excellently. Outstanding cases of fir t aid during the year include a treatment of a native who had been mauled by a lion and two cases of snake-bite. In the case of the man mauled by the lion the injury took place 400 miles from the nearest medical officer and it was only the efficient work of the member of the Kenya Police Division of the Brigade Overseas that saved the life.

A striking feature in connection with these figures, the significance of which is not perhaps fully appreciated, is t.h~t these memb~r~ of th~ Division were, prior to joining the Force, lIVIng under condItIOns whIch were not far removed from barbarism.

John Per onnel. In the Borough of Rhondda, for in tance, the only Examinations arranged are tho e held under the Rhondda Education Authority. The sum voted by the Ambulance Committee for promoting Fir t Aid and Home Nursing Classes for the Unemployed wa xpencled in ixteen grants of free textbook, equipment, and occa ionally examination expense to Unemployment Centres and lub in variou part of \Vales, where the introduction of Ambulance \Vork ha been acclaimed as a particularly appropriate subject; and on cannot refer to thes Clas es without recording the indebtedness of the Priory to the many Honorary Life Members and Officer of the Brigade who are giving their services voluntarily as Lecturers and ecretaries or In tructor . A steady advance i, noticeable in the direction of the traininO' of employees of Road Passenger Tran port Undertaking, many of whom are joining Classes and so eeking to remedy the anomalou po. ition in which they find themselves by reason of the inadequacy of the exi ting regulations which provide for the carrying of fir t aid equipment on certain public service vehicles without ensuring the competency of driver or conductor to put it to practical purpo e. 7

BRIGADE STREi\GTH. As the figures below will show, there i an increa e of 1,2 1G in the strength of the Brigade in \Vales on the pre\'iou year' total, comprising 739 men, 96 women, 261 boy, and 150 girls; and thi r sult i obtained after disbanding four Ambulance and two Cadet mbulance Divisions which had become inactive. The big rise in the ca e of the men is largely attributable to a new accession of strength in the form of Colliery Units; and the increasingly ympathetic attitude of Colliery Owners towards the Brigade may be noted as one of the contributory factors to a satisfactory year's work. The formation of Cadet Units has continued throughout the year with undiminished enthusiasm, and the constant stream of applications which continued to flow in when the second grant from the Pilgrim Tru twas nearing absorption suggested an appeal for a third and final sum to enable the Priory to afford a measure of help to the large number of Units which had been formed with the prospect of obtaining a two-third grant towards the cost of uniforms. Once again the Trustees were able to consider favourably our application and it was very welcome news to learn that a final grant of £250 had been allocated on the 17th January, 1934. The distribution of the total amount of £3,000 received from the Fund has had far-reaching effects apart from the obvious benefit to the Cadet Movement, which has grown from 1,807 in 1930 to the present

ANNUAL INSPECTIO~S. An outstanding feature of the year 1933 was the visit of the Chief Commissioner, Major-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., .C.M.G., c.-v.,o., D.S.O., who conducted an In pection at Tredegar Park, by kll1d permlsslOn of the Centre President, Viscount Tredegar, C.B.E ., on the 20th May. It was the first time for the Brigade in Wales to be honoured by the Chief Commissioner; and lonmouthshire was the fortunate .centre which enjoyed the privilege, having qualified for such an occaSIOn by

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

organizing triennially a parade of all the Units of the Centre. Neighbouring Centres were invited to join in; and just over 2,000 were on parade, of whom 1,600 were members of Monmouthshire Divisions. Through the good offices of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Rhys V\'illiams, Bart~ K.C., D.S.O., the Borough of Rhondda Centre was given an opportunity of inspection by H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester, in connection with His Royal Highness 's visit to the Rhondda in October. I was particularly plea ed to be invited by the Commi ioner of the No.7 District of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home to inspect in company with Lady Perrott, R.R.C., a parade of members of the Shropshire and Herefordshire Divi ions and the D enbigh hire and Montgomeryshire Centres of the Priory at Oswestry on 15th October; and look forward to similar joint parades between the horclering Counties being arranged in future, alternately on \Velsh and Engli h ground. With few exceptions, all the Units were in pected during the year. I had the honour of conducting 23, my Deputy (11r. A. G. E. J. Fudge) kindly undertaking six while the A _istant Lady Superintendent-in- hief for Wales (Lady Lewis, O.B.E.) inspected the Tur es on eight occa ion. The Brigade Headquarter Staff has been augmented by the appointment of Lieut.-Colonel J. E. H. Davies, D.S.O., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., of Wrexham, and Dr. David Rocyn Jone , C.B.E., ~e\Vport, Mon., as Surgeon-in-Chief and Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief re pectively of the Brigade in Wales. The selection of the e two outstanding per onalities in the Ambulance Movement has given general sati faction in North and South Wales. COMPETITIO s . The past year has produced an appreciable addition to the wealth of Cups, Shields, and Trophies available for annual Ambulance Competition. Five Shields, Cups, and one Bowl were donated in 1933, bringing the number of trophies vested in the Trustees to 99, at a total value of /2,216 lls. '" The vVelsh Brigade Final Competitions were held in Cardiff on the 22nd April, and the winners of the" Llandinam " Shield and" Arthur Griffiths Memorial" Cup proved to be the Tredegar Ambulance and Llanelly Nursing teams respectively, who represented \Val es in the Finals in London. In the" Harry Webb" Cup Competition open to teams of Railway Companies operating in Wales and Monmouthshire, the Cardiff Newtown G.W.R. team was successful. The usual programme of Ambulance Competitions featured in the Royal National Eisteddfod at Wrexham and at the Royal vVelsh Agri-cultural Show, Aberystwyth, the events being organized as usual by the Priory, whose Principal Secretary was appointed Honorary Director of Ambulance. In addition, assistance has been given to Chief Constables and various authorities in arranging Ambulance Competitions, which continue to be an unfailing source of encouragement . SERVICE MEDALS AND BARS. Forty-two members qualified for Service Medals on completion of 15 years' efficient service in the Brigade, 27 receiving Bars at the end of 20 years' and six gaining Second Bars on completing 25 years'.

MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE. This Department completed the fifteenth year of its e:astence with 16 Ambulance Stations, in addition to a Central Garage WIth spare cars at Cardiff. In the past year 9,105 patients were carried, the t?tal mileage being 183,811i-an increase of 1,035 cases and 17,365i miles on the figures for 1932. Thirty Colliery Companies are subscribing for a call on the service. in respect of 68 Collieries, covering approximately 41,407 men, and nme other Companies, covering 2,12G men. In 23 districts "outside" subscribers, numbering 1,601, are contributing through voluntary collectors. The Priory acknowledges its gratitude to the latter who, in many ca s, for a period of years have given generously of their time and services in enlisting the support of the general public; and it was recently agreed to remunerate such helper by the payment annually of a small p rcentage on the amount collected . MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS . The total number of articles issued through the Medical ComfortsDepots during the year was 5,041, an increase of 516 on 1932. While two Depots were closed, three new ones were opened, bringing the total number in operation to 34. \Vith the exception of seven, all these Depots are carried on by Brigade Units; and it is difficult to convey by either words or figures a correct idea of the suffering and anxiety relieved by the provi ion of invalid appliances to those otherwi e unable to obtain them. STORES DEPARTMENT. As in the two preceding years, the normal sales have been inflated by an expenditure of Pilgrim Trust Grant, involving a turnover of £800. From the first instalment paid to the Priory in 193 1 to the end of 1933 1,606 boys and 330 girls were equipped by means of grants equivalent to two-thirds of the cost of requirements. It is particularly pleasing to record a more general tendency on the part of Divisions to purchase uniform and equipment through the Priory. \Vith this increased measure of support the prices of several articles of uniform furniture have been reduced; and the continued co-operation of the Brigade will naturally tend towards mutually advantageous terms. The total number of textbooks issued during the twelve months was 4,471, a decrease of 473 over 1932. Although the number of First Aid books was 190 higher, 788 less copies of Preliminary First Aid were sold last year than in 1932, when the abnormally high sales included the first-fruits of the Pilgrim Trust stimulus. VISIT OF H.R.H. THE PRIOR. The second era in the history of the Priory, heralded in by the revision of its Regulations and consequent changes in offices and titles, was signally marked by a visit of the Prior, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, on Tuesday, 16th May, 1933, when Welshmen and Welshwomen from far and near joined in the warm-hearted welcome accorded to His Royal

The two principal functions performed by the Prior on that memorable occa ion were the unveiling of the Memorial to ir Herbert Lewi , K.B.E., in t.

COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The Commandery Chapter ha the honour to ubmit to ChapterGeneral its Third Annual Report for the nine month ended 31st December, 1933. It is with profound regret that the Commandery Chapter record the death of the Lieutenant and Deputy, Sir Franci Drummond Percy Chaplin, G.B.E., K.C.M.G., a Knight of Grace of the Order, on 16th November, 1933. During his period of office as Lieutenant and Deputy of the Knight Commander, the late ir Drummond took a keen practical interest in everything that tended to uphold the dignity, preserve the ideals, and promote the objects of our Venerable Order. The funeral took place on the late Lieutenant's farm at _ oordhoek. His Excellency the Knight Commander was represented by Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, and the Order was represented by a Chaplain, two Knights of Grace, two Commanders, and two Officers, preceded by the Proce ional Cro s. The services were conducted by His Grace the rchbi hop of Cape Town, assisted by the Rev. Dr. E. Hermitage Day (Chaplain of the Order), and the coffin was covered with the Flag of the Order, on which lay the Commandery Sword reversed. The Commandery Chapter also regrets to record the death of Mrs. Julie E. Bairnsfather, on 19th December, 1933. The late Mrs. Bairnsfather always took a keen interest in the work of St. John, more especially in the early stages of its development in the Cape, and was made a Serving Sister of the Order in May, 1908. In previous years the Annual Report was compiled to 31st March, but, as this date prevented any mention of the activities of the Commandery in the Report of Chapter-General until most of the subjectmatter was considerably out of date, the Commandery Chapter decided to close the financial year on 31st December. This Report is, therefore, for the period 1st April to 31st December, 1933. The absence of His Excellency the Knight Commander in England, as well as several members of the Commandery Chapter, prevented official representation at the Annual Divine Service in connection with St. John's Day. His Royal Highness The Grand Prior sanctioned the following appointments with in the Commandery for the triennial period commencing St. John's Day, 24th June, 1933:-

AMBULA ' CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

The Comrnandery Commissioner reports that the usual Brigade inspections have been held, and that the various Divisions have maintained their efficiency. A special feature of the inspections was the great efficiency and interest in the work shown by the variou Nursing Divisions. During the year the South African Police commenced forming Brigade Divisions. The Commissioner of Police appreciates the nece ity for a knowledge of First Aid and has formed Divisions at the various centres with a view to keeping up the knowledge of the men. They all seem keen and will be a great asset to the Brigade. The Cadets, especially the Nursing Section, have increased in numbers and efficiency. The Brigade Annual Competitions for the "Selborne" Shield, " Hewat" Shield, and" Florence Thompson" Rosebowl were held at Johannesburg on 7th October, 1933, and the usual high standard of efficiency was well maintained.

COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND.

The work of the Association and Brigade in the area of the Commandery in New Zealand has been referred to in the Reports of the respecti ve Departments for the year. It is understood that the first m eeting of the Council and Chap ter of the Commandery will be held early in 1934.

THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-second Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and it subscriber. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint Colonel J. T. \Voolrych PerO\vne Ho pitaller for the Triennial Period ending 23rd June, 1936, in uccession to Sir Courtauld Thomson, K.B.E., .E., who held that office from 1919-1933, a longer period than any of hie;; predecessors since the opening of the Hospital in 1882, ir Courtauld Thomson, who still remains a member of the Committee, ha , during his tenure of office, seen the Hospital twice restored-once after the \Yar, and once after the earthquake in 1927-the Out-patient Department nlarged and remodelled, and the Annexe built and put into a.ctive commi sion. Colonel Perowne was Hon. Secretary of the Committee from 1903 to 1908 and a member till 1914 and ha acted <~ - Hon. ecretary from 1919 till his promotion to Hospitaller on t. John's ay, 1933. The Hon. ir \Yilliam Go-clI n, Receiver-General, has succeeded to the po t of Hon. Trea urer, vacant by th.e regretted death of Colonel Pixley. The other new members of Committee appointed by the Grand Prior are Lord l~ockley, the Earl of Lytton, Lord Plender, Colonel . de \Y. Crook hank, Ir. Engleheart, and Mr. Hornby Steer. Lieut.-C 1. E. J. Trevor Cory, as Ho pitaller of Bridgend, represents, ex olJicio, the Priory for \Yale . The work accompli hed by the Hospital taff show a falling off compared with 1932. This i accounted for, first by the absence on long leave of the \rarden and the consequent shortage of staff, acc ntuated till further by lack of voluntary help which the Hospital has been 0 fortunate in obtaining in previous years, secondly by th water famine and thirdly by the political disturbances in October and after. The ub-\Yarden, Dr. ~orman jIanson, has resigned his post after more than four years' deyoted work. The Committee is grateful to him for hi readine s to tay on during the Warden's absence in order to hand over to his ucce sor, Dr. Norman Wren, who reached J erusalem in eptember. Dr. 11anson takes with him the best wishes of the Committee in starting a clinic of his own in Beyrout. The new Sub-vVarden ha had two years' experience of Ho pital work in P ale tine having been on the staff of the C.M.S. Hospital at Nablus . He speaks, reads and writes Arabic and understands the people. He ha frequently helped in our Hospital when on leave from ablu and 0 i conversant with our routine. Before coming to Pale tine he was Eye Specialist to the County Council of Durham.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

Sister Peyton-Jones, on expiry of her contract, has returned home and her place ha been taken by iter M. Baugh. It has been decided to give the doorkeepers of the Hospital and the Annexe a suitable uniform to aid them in keeping discipline among the crowds of out-patient. There have been no building exten ions to report during the year, but several minor alterations have been sanctioned and it i hoped that the Annexe will shortly be provided with a boundary wall, between which and the outer wall of the Annexe it is proposed to plant tree and shrubs. Your Committee has al 0 sanctioned the extension of the Dispenser's flat by the addition of an open-air verandah facing Ea t over the Hospital and looking towards the Hill of Moab. Thi will prove a very great boon to the occupants of the flat in the hot weather. The supply of water has been a major problem, as fore hadow d in last year's report. The large ci tern gave out, for the fir t time for thirty years, and the Municipal supply \vas 0 attenuated- running once in six days only over long period of time-that it \Va not po ible to accept in-patients during these cri es, except emergency ca e . In ugu t it became necessary to instal an additional tank, at a co t of £5, over the Sisters' Quarters for supplying the operating theatre. One hundred metre of water cost £8 plus £1 for connecting the upply. No further steps have been taken with regard to the outh Block for paying patients. The original plan have been found too co tly and your Committee still waits for the submi ion for its con idcration of plans that shall be at once sati factory and reasonable in cost. The Government insists, and rightly, on a high tandard in it r quirement for Hospital buildings. None the less the necessity for thi Block is pres ing. In la tear' Report by the Warden, he wrote: " mong the ca e. examined were 57 Army, 34 Royal Air Force, and seven members of the familie of the foregoing. There were also 109 monks and nun (European), 150 Government officials and employees (and in 42 ca es ophthalmic reports were submitted at the request of the Di trict ~Iedical Board ) ; 142 British and American citizens were also treated." And again, the Sub-vVarden in his monthly Report for May, writes a follows: "Vve are kept busy with an ever-increasing number of cases for investigation and official reports for the Army, R.A.F., and Government." Your Committee is strongly of opinion that the Hospital was never originally intended for the reception and treatment of such patient. If the South Block were built they would naturally be treated there and expected to pay according to their means or, if Governmen t official and employees, according to the schedule sanctioned by Government. The Hon. Secretary, accompanied by Mrs. Perowne, Hon. Secretary of the Ladies' Linen Guild, visited the Hospital in April and were hospitably entertained during their three weeks' stay by the Warden and Mrs. Strathearn. The Chancellor and Lady Hunter-Weston were also in Jerusalem for a few days at the same time and the opportunity was taken of inviting His Excellency the High Commissioner to open officially the Annexe and to unveil the Huntef'-Weston Memorial, which forms part of the Annexe. The ceremony which was arranged by the Warden on very short notice took place on Friday, 7th April at 4.30 p.m. Only members of the Order in Jerusalem and a few people interested

in our work were invited under the circumstances. His Excellency, who was received by the Chancellor and the Hon. Secretary and by the Warden and his staff in their mantles at the Great Gate, in a few appropriate words declaring the Annexe open, referred in felicitous terms to the splendid work the Order was doing in Palestine and complimented the Warden and his Staff on their share in carrying out the Order's mission of healing which the Government so highly appreciated. He then unveiled the Hunter-Weston Memorial (which till await completion) and the Chancellor on behalf of the Order, and of Lady Hunter-Weston as Donor, replied, thanking His Excellency for coming, and giving a short account of the genesis of the Memorial. He then pre ented to the \Varden the gold watch, engraved with the arms of the Order, which had been voted to him by Chapter-General to replace th one of which he was relieved by the bandits on the Jericho road in _ ovember, 1931. The \Varden and ~Ir . Strathearn afterwards entertained to tea in the \Yarden' Lodge all tho e who had been invited to the ceremony. Field ~l\Iar hal Vi count Allenby and Lady Allenby also visited the Ho pital on a later date, as did the newly-appointed Anglican Bishop in Jeru alem (who was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Graham Brown), and the Bailiff of Egle ( ir John Hewett) and Mrs. tkinson. Dame Loui e McIlroy, D.B.E., l.D., D. c., ofthe Royal Free Ho pital, an Officer of the Order, in pected the Ho pitallater in the year, and in sending some excellent nap hot - two of which are reproduced on the opposite pageof the Ho pital and Annexe t o the Hospitaller, she wrote: I think your Ho pital i the b t-equipped Institution I have ever een. It i infinitely better than a good many in London, and everywhere I went I heard it prai e ~ ung. The work Dr. Strathearn i doing i marvellous." No work has been done in the Order' portion of the Muristan, but vour Committee has sanctioned the erection of a latrine for the use of the caretaker and his family. In \Vatson Hou e orne minor necessary repair and decoration have been carried out. The gardener' cottage in the ground of the Ho pital is to be improved by the addition of a room and an out ide latrine. It will be recalled that in the Report for 1932 everal paragraphs were devoted to the subject of Blindness in Palestine". Reference was made to the invaluable report dealing with it which had been submitted to the Government of Pale tine by the \i\Tarden. There were in that Report three uggestions made for dealing radically with the problem. All of these received the hearty approval of the Government, but only two were adopted to be put forthwith into practical effect. Finance was the obstacle that stood in the way of the adoption of the third proposition-the initiation of a School in J eru alem for the training of Arab girls in the elementary rule of Hygiene, Home Nursing, anitation, and First Aid . The Order was invited to undertake the responsibility of organizing, uperintending, and financing the School. Chapter-General voted a sum of £300 to cover the cost of the experiment for one year under the control of your Committee, and the Hon. Secretary was commissioned to proceed to Jerusalem to confer with the Warden and, if necessary, with the High Commissioner, with a view to launching the scheme. \Vhen, however, the Hon . Secretary arrived in Jerusalem in April, he found that the tI

house which the \Varden had hoped to rent-a house eminently adapted for the purpose, being, in fact, a school-had been quite unexpectedly taken on again for another twelve months by the sitting tenant.. A search for another suitable house proved abortive, and as nearly all houses change hands in Jerusalem at Moharram it became evident that it would be necessary to wait another year before any beginning could be made with the" village school". Lord Lytton, who wa proceeding to Palestine at the end of 1933, kindly offered his help in di cu sing the position with the \Varden, and he was authorized to secure if pos ible a suitable home for the chool. In addition to the work in Ho pital and Annex, the taff of the Hospital has for many years been respon ible for the superintendenc(' of SLX Ophthalmic Clinics belonging to Government Hospital in cr, Beersheba, Gaza, Nablus, Ramleh, and Tulkeram. A seventh wa~ added in 1932 at Jaffa. Three more ha\-e been added in 1f1:13, viz. at Hebron and Majdal in the south, and at Safed in the north. This tbro"\',, an additional burden on the taff, a a quarterly \-i itation of the linics is imperative, and an additional burden on the Exchequer, a the necessary travelling costs have to be met. But with the iner a (' of work in the Hospital, in spite of-or perhaps, becau e of-all that is done at the Clinics-it became obvious that the pre ent taff-a \Vard 11, a .Sub-v, arden, an~ a Registrar-would not be enough to cope properly wIth the quarterly ll1spection of these additional Clinic when th original 's ix were not always regularly visited, a they should have been. Th Order, therefore, has sanctioned the appointment of an additional member of the Staff in order that the work of supervi ion ma r be regularly carried out . No fresh appointment has at pre ent b en mad . Your Committee takes this opportunity to thank the Director of tIle Health Department of the Palestine Government, olonel G. \V. Heron, C.B.E., D.S.O., for the leave he has given to the Ophthalmic Tur e who have been trained in the Hospital and have earned the erliftcat for Proficiency, to wear the armlet with the eight-pointed cro s whil on duty in the Government Ophthalmic Clinic. Thi is a privilege much treasured by the Nurses. The Income and Expenditure Account show~ that the total expenditur for the twelve months ending 30th eptember was £5,586 18s. Gd. and that after taking into consideration the income from subscription, donations and interest on investments the nett excess of expenditur over income was £4,244 2s. 6d., compared with £3,975 19s. 9d. for the previous year or an increase of £268 2s. 9d. The main increases are due to higher prices for maintenance in J eru_alem, and to expenses under the headings of Travelling and Drugs and Equipment. Your Committee expresses to Lady Watson, the Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, its great gratitude for her ceaseless endeavours to promote the welfare of the Hospital, not only by collecting funds for its material support, but also for the actual service she gives weekly to the Linen Room. That the high level of her subscription list has not been maintained this year can be no matter of surprise to those who know the increasing difficulty of finding money for the Hospitals at home. In addition to this melancholy fact, it must be stated that her supply of Reports for 1932 arrived much later than usual, giving her all too short a time to circularize them to her friends.

NIr. Horne Stevenson, the Hon. ecretary for Scotland, receives once again the sincere thanks of the Committee for his help in collecting financial support from the friends of the Hospital across the Border. The Committee is glad to take this opportunity of expressing its thanks publicly to those who during the past year have given special donations, as follows :Two cialytic Lights, from the Great Priory of England and VlTales. Books for the Hospital Library, from The Church House, Harrogate through olonel Milburn, K.G.St.J. 400 (in addition to S100 in 1932) for filling the two round window in the Hospital with painted glass, from Mrs. Stanley Flagg, of Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia. To the Ladie ' Linen Guild, your Committee would again express it grateful acknowldgement for the constant flow of necessary equipment for the dome tic ide of the Hospital as well as for other donation , , uch as an additional operating table-but see its separate Report appended to this. Two FiL t .\id Boxe ha\-e been supplied for the use of the Hospital " tafi when motoring on duty or otherwise. The olive yard ha suffered severely by the prevailing drought, and yielded onl~- 23 rotl (150 lb.), the present value of which is only £1 lOs . The Committe is especially pleased to record its satisfaction with the intere t taken in the work of the Order in the Holy Land by the Order's u bordinate E ,tabli hments over eas. Your Committee feel that every effort hould be made to strengthen this bond between II adquarteL and the vigorous young Commanderies in outh Africa and Tew Z aland, a well as in Canada and other parts of the Empire. Financial help, which i here gratefully acknowledged, has come from Tew Z aland, anada, outh Africa, and India. Mr. C. J. Tunks, Chairman of the Auckland Centre of the mbulance A sociation, and lIo pit8.ll rand . lmoner of the Commandery in ew Zealand, write : "At our annual t. John' Day ervice, the Primate delivered the address and made pecial reference to the Hospital. Having read copies of the Hospital Report the J ewi h Rabbi Gold tein and the , ecretary of the ynagogue both attended the ervice, and the sum of £5 5s. has been donated toward the Hospital \vork from the Synagogue Funds." Your ommittee cannot conclude this Report without expressing to the Warden and hi colleagues and to Lady V\'atson, to the Acting Matron and the ursing taff, and to all the other workers in the Ho pital, Briti h or Palestinian, it appreciation of their de\'oted service and their uncea ing efforts to maintain in every way possible the high standing of the Hospital and to enhance the reputation and prestige of the Order in the Holy Land which gave it birth eight centuries ago.

The Warden's Report for the year 1933. I

the Out-Patient Department the number of new patient

een during

1933 was 20,535 and the total con ultation 89,895. The number of patients admitted to Ho pital was 1,179 and the number of operation performed 3,630; this total include 619 intra-ocular operation, of which 289 were for cataract. There were 2,192 operation. for the relief

of trichia i. The average duration of stay in Hospital wa cleven day. This figure tends to remain high and i largely due to the increasing practice of operating upon trichiasis patients a out-door case (lich patients, as a rule, are only retained in Ho pital for five day). Thi permits of the admis ion of a larger number of intra-ocular and treatment cases who e duration of stay in Hospital is much longer. The stati tics of work done are up to average but how a light falling oft when compared with the previous year. Thi i readily explained by shortage of taft, as the chief urgeon was on home leaye during the ummer months. Classified according to religion, of the new ca es 14,930 were Mo lem ; 3,758 were Christians; and 1,847 were J ews. Of the total con ultation 71,026 were 1Vloslems; 13,067 were hri tian ; and 5, 02 were Jews. The incidence of trachoma among th out-patient wa 90-:3 per cent. This is still very high; the slight fluctuations in thi incidenc from year to year are to be explained by the mall variation. in the proportion between the villagers and the town people attending. The former, especially tho e from the village of the plain, are 10 per cent trachomatous; whilst the latter show a smaller and a Ie ening incidence. This improvement amongst the town people, due to a tead ' ri e in the standard of living with all that this implie , is a gratifying f ature of an otherwise hopeless outlook for the eradication of trachoma in Pal tine, at least among the Arab peasants. Of the 20,535 new cases 2,299 were" blind " in one eye (11 ·2 per cent) and 750 were" blind" in both (3'6 per cent). The number of individual who were" blind" in one or both eye was 3,049 (14'8 P r c nt). A hitherto, " blindness " was reckoned on the low standard of inability to count fingers at a distance of 1 metre. The following table how the incidence of "blindness" since 1920. - -- - -- -

The study of this table illustrates still further the proc~ss th~t has been at work during the past six or seven years. The earlIer penod ?f the British Occupation, from 1920 till 1927, shows a steady decrease 111 the incidence of "blindnes "; but since 1927 the process has been reversed and with the exception of a few minor fluctuations we are back to where we were in 1921; indeed, in the matter of the incidence of " blind" in one eye, we are worse than we were at the opening of the Ho pital at the beginning o.f the Briti ~ A~ministration. It is ~ikely that the chief reason for thIS retrogres IOn IS the cycle of dry W1l1ters which Palestine has experienced since 1927. During the summer of 1933 the conditions in many of the villages were deplorable; cisterns were soon emptied, springs dried up, and many villag~rs had to go for miles for mall upplies of water. Fortunately there IS reason to hope that the drought cycle has come to an end. In th.e .circu~stance it is probably a matter of congratulation to the Adm1l11S~ratlOn that the pidemics, ophthalmic and other, were not more WIdespread. The following table show the cau e of " blindness" in the 3,799 "blind" yes (see p. 13) : A. Congenital B. Acquired. 1. Conjunctivitis resulting in (a) Total corneal opacity (b) Shrunken globe.

Deducting from this li t the cases of cataract (which can usually be cured by operation) there remains over 70 per cent of thi "blindne s " which can be traced directly or indirectly to acute conjunctivitis. Under the sub-heading " econdary glaucoma" are included only those eyes which it is rea onable to believe might have been saved by timely surgical int rvention. The epidemic of acute conjunctivitis during 1933 was severe; there were 5,314 ca es and 1,137 of tho e were complicated by ulceration of the cornea, an incidence of 21 per cent . As always the majority of the e cases wa in infant and young children, totalling 3,225, of v\ hich 520 were complicated with ulceration of the cornea, an incidence of 16 per cent . Patients from J erusalem and neighbourhood u ually come at an early tage of the disease and it is uncommon for these ca es to develop the dangerous complication of ulceration whil t under treatment. On the other hand there is a growing tendency for parents from the villages to bring children with one or both eyes already ulcerated. La t year this disturbing factor was especially in evidence during the latter part of the summer. When it i ' realized that an uncomplicated case of acute conjunctivitis usually clear up within a fe\ day whilst on the other hand a ca e with ulceration may remain und r tr atment for several

From t~e urgical point of view one can tak tlli-; course WIth a clear conSClence (however much it. goes again t til, h~manitarian grain) a almo t all t.he e ca e are already hopeI __ 1 "?lmded; and yet they demand and get ' 0 much carc and attention m the hope of saving a little from the wreckage. Clos~ly ~ssociated with the treatment of acute conjuncti\'iti. with ulceratIOn IS the problem of the prcvention and treatm nt. of secondarv glaucoma. Thi disea e frequently follows the form r and if untr at cl ~(nds .in irremediable blindness. In last 'car' report it w'a tat. d that It IS proposed under the new chem t.o card-indcx all th ca sand to follow them up ", It i obvious that the indexing of ov r on thousand cases from this Hospital .and. ~\'eral. hundred more from t.he Departm,ent of ~ealth Ophth.almlc ClImc , WIth all the cro ref r nces r quircc1, :-"111 ent~il mu~h clencal work; al 0 t.he following up of th c ca s In the villages, In the first instance to purge our r cord of hop Ie ' ca. e:-( hrunken gl?b~s, comple,te staphylomatou cornea, tc,), and t.o arrang for the admIssIOn of smtable ca e for operation i work t.hat. could only be c~rried ,out by a skilled clerk, under the supervi:ion of the OphthalmIc MedIcal Officer to the Department of Health. It is hop d that t~e Department o~ Health may be able to depute a clerk, who will be trarned by us for thIS very special duty. Meanwhile this part of the scheme i in abeyance, In}he Out-~at~ent Depar~ment 1,562 patients were te ted for gla. se~ an~ ;87 prescnptIOns. were gIven; the ~emainder, owing to t.11 presence ?f Irregular astIgmatIsm or other condItion, showed in ufficient vi ual Improvement to warrant a prescription. Among t the ca. e examined v.:ere-.R,A,F. and Army per ?nne184; Government official and employees 1.33 ; ,Inmates, of H.M. Pnson 38; British Police 22; Brit.ish and Amencan subJects 148; monks and nuns 128. There were also 80 medical reports sent to various Department of Health Offices, With regard to the latter arrangements are now being made with the Governm.ent for payment for these reports; hence it is likely that soon there WIll be a great and welcome reduction in this time-absorbing work.

In t.he X-H.ay Department t.wenty photographs were taken, . even teen exposures being made with the Potter-Bucky apparatus to elucidate the presence of sinu iti , intra-orbital conditions, etc., and three foreign bodie (intra-ocular) were localized with the aid of Sweets's apparatus. The giant magnet wa used in nine cases-in three with a po itive result. The two plaques of radium for local application were u ed to the full extent of the time at the dispo al of the staff. The ca es tr?atcd were mainly spring catarrh, basal celled epithelioma, hremanglOma and other tumours of the eyelid, The total number of radi~m applic~tion was 2:50. In the circum tances we have attempted noth1l1g expenmental but followed recognized procedures. It is the int.ention to st.abli h a phy. ical therapy department when the proposed out.ll Block i ' built. Thi will enable us to concentrate our « ray" work und r a eparate taff. At pre ent owing to cramped conditions ware unable to utilize our equipment to the full. , Tb arcity of wat r in ] eru alem wa greater than ever last year. }ortunat. ly the taff ha become accu tom d to doing without, and so t.hc ' hort.ag wa Ie s felt. IIowever, we were 0 reduced at one time t.hat. \\~ b,ad to buy extra water- a great concession on the part of the -:\Iul1lClpaht.y who are in the fortunate po ition of having no lack of buyer: for t.his carc ommoditv. The ummer of 1931 will be ea ier a. the IIospit.al ci t rn are full; but there i no pro pect of the additional gravitation upply until th lat ummer of H)35, Th D partment of Health ha increa ed it Ophthalmic Clinic to ten, by the addition of clinic at 1\Iajdal, Hebron, and afad. There are ~ \' ral . uhsidiary Clinic., staffed by trained male orderlies and under the ont.rol of the medical officer at a neighbouring Clinic. The visitation of t.ll sc lillics during 1~33 wa carried out on one occasion only, owing to sllort.ag ()f staff at. th Hospital of the Order, a well as to other unfore. ecn , i~cum tan~es. In 1934 it is hoped to make quarterly vi it t~o, : cry lImc; by th1. p ronal contact and the actual conduct of the lll1lC for s veral hours b the vi iUng urgeon greater interest in the work 111 a:,' be taken and more efficiency achieved. To r turn t.o t.he affairs of t.he Ho pital. pecial mention mu t be mad~ (!f th work of th _Linen Guild which has continued to make ample proVl lO11 for. t.he ne Is of the Ho pital linen room, And I have again to record With much pIca ure the grateful thanks of the taft to Lady \Vat on for her sllpervi ion of the linen room and work room, Dr. lanson, the former ub-\Varden, left on the expiration of hi contract. He carrie with him to hi new ph ere the cordial good wi he of every member of the 'taff. Dr. J orman \ Vren, who ha ucceeded him has ,had considerable experience of work in Pale tine, and I know I cal~ confi,dently exp~c: fro~l hiT? much needed help, not only in the medical but .111 t.he adm1l11 t.rabve SIde of the Ho pital work.

REPORT

The study of this table illustrates still further the process that has been at work during the past six or seven years. The earlier period of the British Occupation, from 1920 till 1927, shows a steady decrease in t.he incidence of "blindness"; but since 1927 the process has been reversed and with the exception of a few minor fluctuations we are back to where we were in 1921; indeed, in the matter of the incidence of " blind" in one eye, we are worse than we were at the opening of the Ho pit.al at the beginning of the Briti h Administration. It is likely t.hat. t.he chief reason for this retrogres ion is the cycle of dry winters which Palestine has experienced since 1927. During the summer of 1933 t.he conditions in many of the villages were deplorable; cisterns were soon emptied, springs dried up, and many villagers had to go for miles for mall supplies of water. Fortunately there is reason to hope t.hat. t.h drought cycle has come to an end. In the circumstance it is probably a matter of congrat.ulation to the Admini tration that the piclemic, ophthalmic and other, were not m ore widespread. The following t.able sho\"s the cause of " blindness" in the 3,799 "blind" eyes (see p. 13) : A . Congenitll B. Acquired . 1. onjunctivitis resulting in (a) Total corneal opacity (b) Shrunken globe . (c) econdary glaucoma (d) Other conditions 2. Trachoma (pannus etc.) 3. Fundal conditions 4. Glaucoma (primary) 5. Cataract . 6. Injury 7. Fevers (measles, 38; ~ma.llpox, 75) 8. Variou s Total

Deducting from this li t the cases of cataract (which can usually be cured by operation) there remains over 70 per cent of thi "blindnes " which can be traced directly or indirectly to acute conjunctiviti. Under the ub-heading" secondary glaucoma" are included only those eyes which it i rea onable to believe might have been saved by timely urgical intervention. The epidemic of acute conjunctivitis during 1933 was severe; there were 5,314 ca e and 1,137 of those were complicated by ulcerat.ion of the cornea, an incidence of 21 per cent . As always the majority of the e ca s wa in infant and young children, totalling 3,225, of which 520 were complicated with ulceration of the cornea, an incidence of 16 per cent. Patient from J eru alem and neighbourhood u ually come at an early stage of the eli ea e and it is uncommon for the e cases to develop the dangerous complication of ulceration whilst under treatment. On the other hand there is a growing tendency for parents from the villages to bring children with one or both eyes already ulcerated . Last rear this di turbing factor was e pecially in evidence during the latter part of the summer. 'Vhen it i ' realized that an uncomplicated case of acute conjunctivitis u ually clear up within a few days whilst on the other hand a ca e with ulceration may remain under treatment for several

weeks, the effect on the working of the Annexe clinic i ' immediate. Further, they take longer to treat; on an average ten ca es will take an hour and a' they require to be attended to everal time a day it will be seen that the problem i a real one. ~Te are aware that many of the e cases come to us from oth r ophthalmic clinic througholl t tll country; a few are referred to u direct but the majority are appar nUy brought by the parent on their o"vn initiative. 11 too fr q II ntly they are desperately poor and are literally dumped in the Annex , the father or responsible guardian returning to hi village leaving a de tit II t mother with one or two young children, probably all uff~ring from the ame disease. Left with neither food nor money, feeding by the Hospital becomes an e ential part of the treatment. La t umm r we gave a total of 1,615 meals to uch nece, it au ca e ; true the\, ar 1110 th' young children, but thi expense add to the co t of running 'the IIo pitaL During 1932 the number of meals given wa ' 745. In order to combat thi growing evil in the coming year it i propo ed to ' en 1 back a number of these case to the clinics which attended to them in the fir ' t in tan c, paying the train or bu fare as the ca e may b. Oth rwise we have to face the probability of an overload interfering with the functioning of the Annexe clinic. From the surgical point of view one can tak this course with a clear can cience (however much it go ' again t the ht~manitarian grain) a almost all the e ca e are already hop Ie. 1y blInded; and yet they demand and get a much car and aU ntion in the hope of saving a little from the wreckage. Closely associated with the treatment of acute conjnncLi\'iti with ulceration i the problem of the prevention and treatment of s condary glaucoma. This di ea e frequently follow the former and, if untreat c1, ends in irremediable blindness. In last year' report it wa tat.ed that " It is proposed under the new scheme to card-index all the ca sand to follow them up". It i obvious that the indexing of over one thou and cases from this Hospital and everal hundr ds more from the D part ment of H ealth Ophthalmic Clinics, with all the cro references requir d, will entail much clerical work; al a the following up of th !:>e case: in the villages, in the first in tance to purge our record of hopele case..;; ( hrunken globe, complete staphylomatou cornea, etc.), and to arrang for the admission of suitable cases for operation i work that could only be carried out by a skilled clerk, under the upervision of th Ophthalmic Medical Officer to the Department of Health. It i hoped that the D epartment of Health may be able to depute a cl rk, who will be trained by us for this very special duty. tfeanwhile thi part of the cheme is in abeyance. In the Out-Patient Department 1,562 patient were tested for gla. es an~ 787 prescri-ptions. were given; the remainder, owing to the pre encc of rrregular a tlgmatIsm or other conditions, showed in ufficient vi ual improvement to warrant a prescription. Among t the ca examined were-R.A.F. and Army personnel 84 ; Government officials and employees 133; inmates of H.M. Prison 38; British Police 22; Briti hand American subjects 148 ; monks and nuns 128. There were also 80 medical reports sent to various Department of Health Offices. With regard to the latter arrangements are now being made with the Government for payment for these reports; hence it is likely that soon there will be a great and welcome reduction in this time-absorbing work.

In ihe X-R ay Department twenty photographs were taken, seve.nteen exposures being made with the Potter-Bucky apparatus to luc1date the presence of inu iti , intra-orbital conditions, etc., and three foreign bodie (intra-ocular) were localized with the aid of Sweets's apparatu. The giant magnet was used in nine cases-in three with a po itive re ult. The two plaques of radium for local application were u ed to the full extent of the time at the di po al of the staff. The ca es tr?ated were mainly pring catarrh, ba al celled epithelioma, hGel:nangIOm~ al:d other tumour of the eyelids. The total number of rad l~ m apphc~tIOn wa 2.")0. In the circumstance we have attempted ~10lhn:g expenme~tal but f?llowed recognized procedures. It is the l~ltentIOn to e:tabh. h a ph~r lca.l therapy department when the proposed ouih Block l ' bmlt. TIn wIll enable us to concentrate our (( ray" work under a eparate , taff. At pre ent owing to cramped condition we are unable to utilize our equipment to the full. , Th carcity of water in ] eru alem was greater than ever la t year. I' art. unalely the staff I1a become accu tamed to doing without, and . u the shorlag wa. 1 s. felt.

The ummer of 1934 will be ea ier a, th.e II.o pilal ci ,tern .are full; but there i no pro pect of the additional grantatlOn supply untIl the late ummer of 1935.

Although there appear to be a decrease in t?e total numbe.r ?f certificates i sued during the year as compared Wlth 1932, there JS ill reality an increase, as the \Velsh total for last year included the number of voucher i sued, whereas this year it does not. Returns from Overseas Centres received to date show the number of certificates issued during the year to be approximately 32,540, as compared with 36,016 last year.

OVERSEAS CEXTRES

T. JOHN AMBULA. CE _ SSOCIATIO .

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature in connection with the issne of certificates is in connection with clas es for the unemployed. During the year the Order placed at the di posal of the ssociation a sum of money to enable it to finance clas es in first aid consi ting solely of unemployed persons. The A sociation accordingly undertook to supply free textbooks, to make no charge for examination, and to pay the .:!xaminers' fees and expenses. It was anticipated that the majority of c1a es would be able to find free accommodation for lectur s and that, with their customary generosity, members of the medical profession would instruct gratuitously. Both a umptions proved correct and a number of classes were carried to a ucces ful conclu ion; but not a few also fell through, sometimes becau e number dwindled as the men found employment and sometime -but more rarely-for lack of a desire for useful knowledge on the part of the student , but never for lack of encouragement on the part of tho 'e members of the Association or Brigade who 'were supervi ing or assi ting with the in truction or control of the cla s. The scheme followed the appeal of the Prince of \\ ales for Social Service, and His Royal Highness expre sed hi approval of it. His Royal Highness Prince George al 0 showed hi ympathy and interest by presenting certificate to those who 'were successful at an examination at \Vednesbury, on 20th April. In contrast to a motor 'bus company which declined an offer of free in truction in first aid to its employees may be mentioned the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited, which has made arrangements for the whole of its conductors to receive instruction; the Company has already approximatel 1,000 men holding first aid certificates. T

Classes continue to be organized by the Church Army, the alvation Army, and at several of H.M. Prisons and Borstal Institutions . Overseas classes outside the areas of Centres have been held in Singapore, where H.E. the Governor, ir Cecil Clementi, a Knight of Grace of the Order, presented 80 certificate to succe sful tudents; in Iraq, for the Levies, where Brigadier J. G. Browne, a Knight of Grace of the Order, who originated these classes in 1928, has been succeeded by Lieut.-Colonel C. R. Barke; in Shanghai, for the Fire Brigade; and in Uganda and Zanzibar, where first aid is being strenuously taken up by the Police. The classes in Kenya continue to thrive, a also those for the Police in Palestine under Captain Spicer's able and energetic guidance. DELEGATION TO CA. ADA. T

Before referring to the activities of Centres Overseas mention must be made of the impending Delegation to Canada. For many years past the Canadian Branch has been one of the most active of the Overseas Centres and a desire has been expressed for information regarding the future development of the work. H.R.H. The Grand Prior has accordingly authorized a Delegation consisting of Sir John Prescott H ewett, G.C.S.L, K.B.E., C.LE., (Bailiff Grand Cross) Bailiff of Egle, and

Mrs. Lorna Ethel Atkinson (a Dame of Justice and the daughter of ir John Hewett) to visit that Dominion " for the purpose of reviewing the various aspects of the work and to advise as to its future development " . The Delegation will accordingly sail for Canada on 21st October, 1933. CE TRES OVERSEAS. r1 ustralia.-The Committee learnt with great regret of the death of Dr. T. torie Dix on (a Knight of Grace of the Order) on 9th December, 1032, at the age of 78 years. Dr. Dixson may be regarded as the pioneer of ambulance work in ew outh Wales, and as one of the founders of the t. J ohn Ambulance Brigade in that State: indeed he also assisted with the expan~ ion of the work of the Order in other parts of the Commonwealth. On the formation of the Central Council in Australia Dr. Dixson wa appointed hairman and not long afterward Chief Commissioner for the Brigade in Australia (Western Australia excepted). After the death of Dr. Dixson the Central Council was disbanded as it had been found that owing to the vast distances in the Commonwealth it was impracticable to hold regular representative meetings of the Council. Report from the Centres in Australia indicate that all of them are thoroughly active. Headquarters had the pleasure of a visit from the Pre ident of the New outh \\ ales Centre, Sir Philip \V. Street, K.C.~I.G., and Lady ireet, and al 0 from Sister A. B. Parry, ecretary of the Centre.

The British Guiana CC7ltre, one of the more recently formed, is extending its activities, and Headquarters had the pleasure of a visit from its Honorary Treasurer, Mr. "V'l. G. Smellie. In Call ada also the Association suffered a severe loss by the death of Colonel Lorne Drum, C.B.E., M.D., a Commander of the Order, on 22nd April. Colonel Drum had held office as Director-General for only a short period, but had already proved himself a most capable and active officer. Colonel John Thomas Clarke, C.B.E., M.C., }I.D., has been appointed to take ov r his duties. The Ceylon Centre has as usual been thoroughly active, more especially amongst the Police, and the Association had the advantage of discu sing the position 'with Dr. F. O'B. Ellison, the Honorary Secretary of the Centre.

Hong KOllg has once more pursued and extended its activities with vigour. The esteem in which the Centre is held by the local population is reflected in the financial support accorded to it. One noteworthy donation of $70,000 by Ir. Chau Man Chi, ha enabled the Centre to provide a headquarters for the use of the Association and Brigade in Hong Kong, and a piece of stone taken from St. J ohn's Gate will furnish the founda tion stone of the new building. Headquarters has had the advantage of discussions with the Hon. Sir William Shenton, the Honorary Treasurer, and Mrs. Langley, the Secretary in Hong Kong, who explained in detail the activities of the Association and the Brigade in the New Territories.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE ASSOCIATION.

COMPETITIO S.

In India the ssociation has been handicapped for a number of years by a lack of funds, and efforts have been made to obtain a share of the funds which were collected during the Great \Var by the Indian Branch of the Briti h Joint War Committee of the British Red ross Society and Order of t. John, and handed over after the \Yar to the Indian Red Cross ociety which was subsequently tabli hed in 1920. It is hoped that an understanding has now been arrived at between the two bodies to the sati faction of each under the very able guidance of Sir David Petrie, who holds the po ~ ition of Chairman of each body. The year has been one of progress and the A ociation had many u eful discussions with Sardar Bahadur Balwant ingh Puri, O.B.E., who for a number of years has been Assi tant General ecretary of the Indian Branch. In lYew Zealand a position similar to that in India arose over \Var Funds which were handed over at the end of the \Var to a body known by the somewhat peculiar title, "New Zealand Branch of the Briti h Red Cross and Order of St. John." The po ition has now been rectified by the creation of a New Zealand Red Cros ociety and the formation of a joint body composed of an equal number of t. John and ew Zealand Red Cross representatives which will in future control the e funds . The Commandery, the establi hment of which wa approved recently by Chapter-General, is in process of formation but the everal Centres of the Association still continue to deal direct with Headquarter at St. John's Gate, and are thoroughly vigorous. The Commandery in Southern Africa being now firmly establi hed , the work of the Association continues to make marked progre ,detail of which appear in the Report of the Commandery Director of Ambulance at page 25. TEXTBOOKS. The revision of ]v otes on Military Sanitation has been completed and the Committee desires to express its indebtednes to Iajor H ugh Arthur Sandiford, M.C., M.B., R.A.M.C., who very kindly undertook the task of revision. This manuscript i now in the hands of the printers. An effort has been made during the year to secure copies of early Textbooks published by the Association since its inception, and with thi end in view an appeal was made in The t. J ohn Ambulance Gazette and in the journal First A 1·d. The generou response wa most satisfactory and there is now a very representative collection of books at H eadquarters.

The Final of the Inter-Railway Ambulance Competition was again held at the \Vharncliffe Rooms, Great Central Hotel, London, on the 24th May. The Judges were :-For the team test, Dr. S. Hamilton, of Newport ( 10n.); and for the individual tests, Dr. K. H. Beverley, of Barnsley, and Dr. F. C. Cozens, of Herne Bay. The Competition aroused keen interest amongst railway men, and visitors from all parts of the country came to witness it. The di tribution of prizes was presided over by Colonel J. T. Woolrych Perowne, Registrar of the Order, and the Challenge Shield, " orbet Fletcher" Cup, and prizes were presented by G. VV. E. Loder, Esq., Chairman of the outhern Railway. The re ult of the Competition was announced by Major-General lr Percival \Yilkinson, ccretary-General of the Order, as follows :-

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

The" Pim " Challenge Cup and the prizes were presented by Sir Hugh Turnbull, who said that every year the work of the teams seemed to improve and thi he felt was due to the interest which the Competition had created amongst the police of the country. This year 91 teams competed in the Di trict Competitions, an increase of seven on last .) ear, but that number did not repre ent anything like the total number of Police Forces, and he hoped that in a few years' time every force in the country would compete in the Preliminary Competitions. The need for first aid knowledge among the police was increa ing every year, very largely owing to the lamentable increase of road accidents. The Competition was also of great value in affording an opportunity for the men of different forces to meet and to get to know each other. That was for the good of the service as a whole. He was sure the police would wish to thank the St. John Ambulance Association for the admirable way in which the Final Competition was arranged every year. The Ambulance Committee of the Order wishes again to thank Ir. John Maxwell, Managing Director, and Mr. Joseph Grossman, Studio Manager of British International Pictures, Limited, for so generously providing the staging for the team test in the Final, both of the Railway and of the Police Competitions. The splendid way in which this was done made both Competitions highly interesting and instructive, not only to the teams concerned but also to the large audience which assembled on both occasions. ST. PAUL'S AMBULANCE STATION. The station is situated at the south end of the Cathedral and is open throughout the year, Sundays included. 765 cases were treated during the year, 41 cases being sent to hospital. The remainder were able to proceed home or to return to their occupation. INVALID TRA 'SPORT CORPS.

Airey, C.M.G ., D.S.O. (the late Director of Stores), in June last, this Department was placed under new management. Office accommodation has been increased and made more healthy for the taff, and better facilities arranged for cu tomer. The turnover shows a ubstantial increase and, judging by test.imonial recei\'ed, ati faction is being given. CONCLUSIO_ ~ . The ommittee again expresses its indebtedness to ~hose. members of the medical profe ion who have lectured to and exammed Its classes, t.he entre and Class Secretaries, and to tho e other who have devoted so much time in the interests of the Association: their co-operation is gr atly appreciated.

RECOG:\ITION

The Ambulance Service is under re-organization and since June, 1933, has shown great improvement. The cars have been overhauled and are in excellent condition. Unfortunately the three ambulances are insufficient to cope with the demands made on the Service, so much so that it has been found necessary to hire additional cars. There is ample scope for the employment of another ambulance. During the period under review journeys have been made to all parts of the British Isles, and to and from the Continent, to the satisfaction of all concerned. The following is a comparison of the number of journeys made and persons carried during 1932 and 1933 : Car mileage. 53,370

Catholic Association; Invalid Children's Aid Association; H ospital Saturday Fund; Islington Medical Mission;. Medical Offi:ers of ~e.a1th (both Metropolitan and Provincial); MIldmay .Medl~al MIs~lOn; Paddington Green and Great Ormond Street ChIldren s HospItals. Poorer patients have been conveyed at greatly reduced charges, and even gratuitously on individual application.

It is possible, once again, in connection with the Association \Vork to record a higher total of awards is 'ued in 1933 than in any previous twelve months, thus maintaining a sequence of increa es from the first year of .the Priory's establishment. It must be pointed out, however, that owmg to a long standing mi interpretation of the position it was expressly stated in last year's and implied in previous report ~ that the figures quoted were exclusive of Junior Attendance and rtificates . and the following comparative table indicates clearly the extent t~ which the Preliminary Classes and Awards have contributed to the totals of the past three years-the period during which under the ~ timulus of the Pilgrim Trust Grant these figures ro e by leap and bounds :_ CERTIFICATES AND AWARDS GAINED.

The number. of Examinations arranged during the twelve months rose from 573 m ~93~ to 594 last year (inclusive of 144 Junior Classes), and 304 Re-exammatIOns as compared with 271 in 1932. Un~er th~ arrangen::ent made in 1931 with the Glamorgan County Council, whIch authonty agreed to abandon its own awards in favour of those of the St. John Ambulance Association or British Red Cross Society awards~ 70 examinati?ns were conducted through the Priory, four more than m the 1932 SessIOn. This change has been of considerable benefit to a numb~r of the Brigade Units in Glamorgan who by joining the County CouncIl classes have been relieved of a certain amount of financial r~sponsibility. Similarly, other County and District Councils are financmg ambulance classes which are attended largely by St. J ohn 'per~onnel. In the Borough of Rhondda, for instance, the only exammatIOns arranged are those held under the Rhondda Education Authority .

AFRICA.

The sum voted by the Ambulance Committee for promoting First Aid and Home Nursing classes for the Unemployed was expended in sixteen grants of free textbooks, equipment, and occasionally examination expenses to Unemployment Centres and Clubs in various parts of Wales where the introduction of ambulance work has been acclaimed as a particularly appropriate subject; and one cannot refer to these classes without recording the indebtedness of the Priory to the many Honorary Life Members and Officers of the Brigade who are giving their services voluntarily as lecturers and secretaries or instructors. A steady advance i noticeable in the direction of the training of mployees of Road Passenger Transport Undertakings, many of whom are joining Classes and so seeking to remedy the anomalous position in which they find themselves by reason of the inadequacy of the existing regulations which provide for the carrying of first aid equipment on certain public service vehicles without ensuring the competency of driver or conductor to put it to practical purpose.

The following i a copy of the Report of the Director of Ambulance for outhern ~\frica : " I have the honour to ubmit herewith my Report on the activities of t.he Ambulance Department within the Commandery during the year ended 31 t December, 1933, and I have to express my great appreciation of the honour conferred on me in my appointment to the position of Director of Ambulance. " \Vhen my term of office commenced, on 24th June, 1933, I was in England, and I wish to record my be t thanks to Lieut.-Colonel \V. B. kinner, who kindly acted for me during my ab ence. " I have al 0 to thank 1\1r. ,"Valter Fowkes very cordially for presiding at the meeting of the Ambulance Committee in Johanne burg in the absence of Colonel kinner. " The attached Ii t 1 of ( wards I ssued' gives a detailed survey of the work accompli hed by the respective Centres of the A sociation during the year under review. "Taken all over, there is a decrease of 268 awards issued for the year ended 30th September, 1933, approximately 5 per cent, less than for 1932, but the total awards are 11 per cent higher than during 1931. " The prevailing depression is particularly reflected in the figures of the S.A.R. & H. Centre, and it is gratifying to know that the position has been so well maintained under the circumstances. (( There is every probability, however, that activities will be fully renewed during the ensuing year. 1

Early in the year the centre suffered a most severe bereavement by the sud~en death of :JIr. John H. Beckly, an Officer of t.he Order, who as Charrman and Treasurer was a tower of strength. It i probable that but for his generous, sympathetic, and practical support the wide pread forward movement which resulted in the establishment of ection Committees all over Devon would never have been underlaken. The Plymouth and District Ambulance ervice is anticipating the erection of a remarkable memorial to 1\1r. Beckly. It will consist of a large enlral Station, named after him, and co ting over £6,000.

Owing to the cumulative effect of some years of trade depression upon staff arrangement, the year has been a somewhat difficult one for the ambulance movement. The results are reflected in the numbers of successful first aid examinees for the year under review, which totalled 7,107, as compared with 7,616 for the previous twelve months, a decrease of 6·68 per cent. For the fourth time since the trophy was awarded (1927) the Swindon (No.3) Divi ion has won the Athlone Bowl by obtaining, during the year under re iew, the highest proportion of successful new members to total examination awards, i.e. 16·50 per cent.

THE DIRECTOR OF A~IBULA TCE.

31st December, 193-1. SIR,

I haye the honour to ubmit my Annual Report a of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home.

hid Commissioner

The increase in both the number of new Divi ions and in th personnel during 1933 ha been remarkably sati factory. I had thought that the increa e in 1932 had been a great that the Brigade could not hope to keep up the ame rate of progre _, but it haT cven been surpas ed during the year 1933. Thi. great increa e in str ngth and in new Divi ion is highly nece ary in vi w of th greater re ponsibilities thrown on the member of the Brigade by the larg r number of accidents which occur owing to the condition of modern life. The fact that so many new Di"i ion have b en form d, and the large increase of both trained men and women, reflects tll gr ate t credit on all members of the Brigade. It i the re ult of their keenne and efficiency and the value of the ervice they have rendered that has encouraged new member to join. I am particularly glad to have to report that there ha b en a very arge increa e in the number of Cadet. The value of tIli training, and the principle inculcated of helping other mu t have an immen<;e influ nce on the formation of character amongst our young members. 1\ c rtain number of these may drop out of thi movement a th y grmv up, lml they will have acquired the principles of thc Or 1 r and will be b tt r citizens thereby, whilst those who continue a adult members will be amongst our future most valuable member, havulg acquired their training so young. The greatest credit is due to tho e member. of the Brigade who have encouraged and trained the e Cadets. The actual increases during the year in new Divi ion are-

a total of 126 new Divisions compared with 143 new Units in 1932.

In studying the reports from the Commissioners, one cannot help being truck by the vast amount of selfsacrificing work which is carried out by the members of the Brigade for the public. This work divides it elf into two distinct categories. On the one hand there is the (( First Aid" in industry carried out by members of the Brigade belonging to units formed within particular industries, and on the other hand there i « First Aid" to the general public. In both the. e pheres of work the activities of the Brigade are extending and being more generally recognized. I find that managers of businesses are always anxious that units of the Brigade hould be formed within their works, and they u ually afford them much financial assistance; whilst the general public looks more and more to the members of the Brigade for « Fir t Aid" in case of accidents. An eloquent testimony to the value of the work being carried out by the members of the Brigade is the fact that last year the enormous number of 471,731 ca es of accident and udden illness were attended by members of the Brigade. This compares with 460,253 case in 1932. The demands on the services of the members of the Brigade appear to grow year by year. It is bing met by increased keenne s and efficiency, and by the formation of new Divisions. I cannot speak too highly of the self- acrificing work which is being carried out, and the splendid pirit which is being hown. The attendances at Civil Ho pitals, Clinics, and \Velfare Centres undertaken by member of the Nur ing Divisions continue to increase. La t year there were 27,642 attendances of one hour or more, compared with 25,279 in 1932. The valuable work carried out by the Nur ing Divi ions is fully dealt with in the comprehensive report by the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, for whose whole-hearted support and devotion to duty I am greatly indebted. I have again to thank her for the very large number of inspections which she has carried out, and the intense interest she has taken in maintaining the efficiency of the N ur ing Divisions. WORK OF THE BRICADE.

The. importance o~ this service continues to grow with . the illcrease both ill speed and number of motor vehicles. It I S lIkely to become one of our most important activities. The serious nature of the injuries when accidents occur on the road demands a high sta~dard of skill on the part of those rendering "First Aid". I am ~t~s.fi~d that the members of the Brigade recognize the serious responslbllIbe that they have undertaken in this respect, and are doing their utmost to meet them by increased efficiency. This road duty involves great selt-sacrifice, for it takes place principally on holidays, and those who carry it out have to sacrifice theu- leisure hours for the purpose , ROAD SERVICE .

THE

but that keenne and zeal for it is maintained is hown by the fact that no fewer than 17,041 road accidents wcre treated by the riga de per onnel in 1933, compared with 14,136 in 1932. Throughout the country there are 1,061 Fir t id Po t , of which 196 are permanent Road ide Fir t Aid Hut. Thi compare with 1,021 First Aid Po ts and 91 permanent Po ts in 1932. Thi service al 0 shows a con iderablc ext 11 ion of its activitie during the pa. t year. The transport of invalids TRANSPORT. for treatment in ho pital has been particularly dev loped. 252 fotor mbulance are operated by orp and Divi ions compar d with 247 in 1932. The e Ambulances carricd 114,91 ~ patient, compared with 74,613 patient in 1932. The reported mileag is 1,010,287, compared with 783,788 in 1932.

Joseph Grossman of the British International Pictures, Ltd., by the provi, ion of scen ry, actors, and actres es for the tests, free of charge; and to the Judge' Committee, Judges, Organizing taft, and teward, for their valuable sen-ice . This service ha also been extended during the year. There are now 109 Medical Comforts Depot, compared v,ith 74 DEPOTS . in 1932. . The , 'alue of these Depots is evident from the fact that 3 ~1 Depots m \Vales issued no fewer than 5,041 articles during the year. They are undoubtedly a great boon to the sick.

services have involved to the members of the Brigade who carried them out, and it is to them that I wish to convey my thanks. The trust which the public have placed in the efficiency of the Brigade has been in my opinion fully justified. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) JOHN DUNCAN,

I must again report that I have been much impre sed by the way in which units have collected ufficient fund to pay their way, and in many ca e to build headquarter. In view of the great depre sion which still exi t in almost all indu trie ,thi ha been a remarkable achievement. It i a thankle, ta k to collect money for any purpose, however worthy, and great credit i ther for due to all those member who have helped to collect the nece ar fund to enable the valuable work of the Brigade to be carried on. ACCOUNTS.

I am glad to be able to report again that the work f the Brigade has received increasing recognition on the part of the Municipal Authoritie , Chief Con table, and oth r local authoritie . Their support is of great value. I would al 0 like to thank the Pre for the help it has always given in making known the work of the Brigade, and in many ca es in which it has given a i tance in rai ing funds to enable the members to carry out their duties. MUNICIPAL

SUPPORT.

In conclusion, I am pleased to say that during the past year the work of the Brigade has made decided progress in every direction. In numbers the advance has been most remarkable, whilst I am satisfied that the efficiency has increased proportionately. This is a wonderful record in a year of such deep industrial depre sion. I have again to offer my thanks to those members of the Medical profession who have so generously helped us in our work; without their help this great progress which I have recorded for the year would have been impossible. I must finally thank all members of the Brigade, from Commissioners down to the last joined Cadet, for their valuable services. The foregoing report speaks for itself as to the value of those services, but it does not bring out the immense amount of hard work and self-sacrifice which those CONCLUSION.

There CAMPS. is no dOll bt they wer a \' 'ry great Sl1CC ss and \'cr ' much appreciated l )~' all who attended them. I think we owe a \'ery gr at deal t.o both the Commandants, Mr.. Twe dale, Lacly Distri l Sup rintendent o. IV District, andl\Ir,. Falwas er, Lady Dlstricl ~ llpcrintcndent No. VIII Di trict. I vi ited bot.h camp and was much truck by the spl ndid organization, the very happy atmo. phere, and lhe k enness of all tho ' ofrlcer. and member attending. \\'e 'were very much helped by the ollnty ontroll r'i and :;\Iilitarv .\.uthoritie for the. plendid 1 clur w had on Ga D ·kncc· ancl other matt r important. in the training of our Yolllntarv .\id Detachments. It was also a splendid help both camps being near the sea. Th' delightful grounds at Herne Bay were \-ery much appr cialed. l\.ncl at. this amp one item we should not forget i the splendid servic s of :'IIiss :aunc1ers, Lady Superintendent of the Northern Pol 't.echnic ~ursing Di\'i..,iol1, in taking charge of the kitchen, and that the cooking wa. done b)' h rand our V.A.D. member ; while at tIl ort.h rn amp .:\Ir<,.

Belfast, where, in the early part of the year during an epidemic of in~uenza, the Corporation, finding their staff absolutely unable to cope wIth the large number of patients, appealed to the Bngade to. supplement th~m. For two months our members worked amongst the sIck poor, supplymg all those in want with the necessities of life and bringing comfort and help to many homes. In conclusion I must again express my very deep gratitude for the splendid work of our Lady District Superintendents, Lady District and County Officers, and for the loyal support of all Officers and Members of the Nursing Divisions. I beg to remain, sir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady Superintendent in Chief.

303 9 shmving an increase of 16 ince 1932 . o new divisions have been formed during the year. . . But I am satisfied that all the existin a divi ions have mamtamed a high standard of efficiency, and have carried out all dutlcs required of thcm with nlhuslasm and skill. The City of Gloucester Ambulance Division ha provided nl~n for duty at footbaJl matches, sports meetings, Barton Fair, and many other public functIOn '. The City ursing Division is showing promise of becommg a keen and efficicnt body. . 1 porlant The Cheltenham Corps continues to thrivc, and carnes out many duties in the town, sharing equally with the B .n. .C . . the Ambulance lransport work for the town and district. . . In the No.2 District Competition (" Oxo "Cup) they did not succecd m repeatmg their performance of last year, and had to be cont.ent with second place. The other Divisions-Gloucester \Yagon \Yorks, Dursley, Tewke bury, Apdoversford-have worked well; though the first-named have had to contend wlth dIfficultIes which, I hope. will be overcome in the near future. . . The most noteworthy event of the year was the InspectIon, follo\\'co by a serVICe in Gloucester Cathedral, on 18th June. . All the Ambulance and 1 ursing Divisions of the ounly, wIlh UI1lls from vVorcestershire and Herefordshire, to the strengt.h of 500 men an.d nurses , wcre inspected by Sir Percival 'Wilkinson and Lady Perrott, accompamed by Colonel Sleeman, Viscountess ;'Iountgarrett, and Colonel \Voolrych ~erowne . After the Inspection, the parade marched past the salutIng basc and proceeclC'll to the Cathedral. On arriving at the Close, the column was met by repre entatives of ChaplcrGeneral. The congregation included many other Members of the Order, the Mayors of Gloucester, \Vorcester, Hereford, Cheltenham, the Chief Constable,. a~d many other distinguished personages. A party of the Colswold Preceptory of hnlghts Templars were present with their Worshipful Master. The sermon was preached by Bishop Palmer, Sub-Prelate .of the Order, who arranged the Order of Service. Rev. C. Cousens Petch, Chaplam of the Order, the Archdeacon of Gloucester, and other Cathedral Clergy assisted at the service.

The Inspecting Officer was Lieut.-Col. F. A. Brook, l\1.D., who stated in his report that" the Oxford Corps and ount.y Divisions are doing excellent work and are in a good state of efficiency. The uniforms were in excellent condition, and the Stretcher Drill was well done". I inspected the Banbury Ambulance and Nursing Divisions at Adderbury on 18th June, and I am pleased to report that they have m.aintained their high standard both in the condition of their uniforms and in their smartness and general efficiency. These Divisions have done much useful work during the year, and must have been of great assistance to the town and neighbourhood. They have inaugurated a " shilling" fund for those using the Ambulance, which has been most successful financiall y.

IR, I have the honour to present my report for the year ended 3 1:3t December, 1933. All Divisions ha \'e been in pected by me in company wlt.h myounty Officer, and we have found them smart and correct. in t.heir uniform and drIll and with a sound knowledge of their work from the tests we have set t.hem. The Swindon Division represented the ounly at. the" Oxo" up ompetition held at Oxford last l\Iay. . . The Ushers Division competed for the ,ain bury hlCld at TrowbrIdge on 3rd eptember and were successful in winni~g the t.rop~y. They al 0 won the " Marguerite Rose" Cup for the best score m the IndlVldual Te t and also ~he " Caillard " prize for the best member of a team. They thus won all the trophies put up for competition in Trowbridge and District. . They are a small private Division of ~Ies rs. U hers \\'Iltshlre Brewery Co" . Ltd ., but do practically all the First Aid work in Trowbridge, and the Authonlle r ([Ullt.lOn their services on eyery occasion. I should again like to draw your attention to the wonderful work done by t.he Swindon Ambulance and ursing Divisions in the home of the PO?r. From the separate sheets I enclose you herewith, it will be seen tha~ they put 111 many h?urs of valuable work which is deeply appreciated by their patient. and their relatI\'es, and eulogistic notices of their help are repeatedly pUbl.l hed in t.h local Press. They run a very successful Medical Comforts Depot whIch IS .a.great bo~n to poor people in time of illness, and I am pleased to say that the CItIzen of \\IO00n are e\'cr ready to support them in a practical manner by promoting concert, dance", etc., in aid of their funds. The Box Division confine most of their work to Road Patrol, and, 10 t.he yicilllty of the dangerous Box Hill, have rendered excellent FIr t ,\ld to many motorists who have come to grief there. The Salisbury Division are gradually gaining trength by t.helr good work at various fu nctions and are overcoming the lack of intere t II1 the movement. \\ hl<...h has handicapped t.hem up to now. They are great.1 r helped III their work by the interest taken in them by the Salisbury Infirmary and Its l?octors a~d by t.l~e co-operation of the Police, the Chief Constable of Salisbury b lllg their Superintendent. I wish to acknowledge my thanks to Count.y Officer mnett (H.S.B.) for h~s valuable help to me at all times and for providing transport to enable me t.o , ISll the Diyisions that lie many miles a\vay from windon. The importance of Ambulance work is becoming more Widely recognized an~l most towns have a class. It is to be regretted, however, that t.hey cannot. see th Ir 'v;ay to forming Divisions of the Brigade at present, owing t.o lack of funos and duties, but much quiet. and helpful work is done all the same. . To the Divisional Surgeons I offer my t.hanks for the great ll1t.erest they t.ake in their Divisions and the way they see t.hat their men are really effici nt. They are ever ready to give lectures on interesting subjects which t.end t.o keep up the keenness of the members and to set papers and judae in the "arious compet.ltIons.

The Kort.h Leiceslershl[e Divisions were also inspe~ted as a wJ:ole by Colonel G. 1\. ::'I[oore at Shepshed, on Sunday, 9th J~lly, follo'w mg a combmed annual Church Parade, \\"h n addit.ional mterest was gl\'en to ~he servIce. by the presence of t.he Eight He\'.

The demand for thi~ service tends to increase, and is becol1:ing such an in~reg:al part of t.he everyday hfe of t~e community at the present t.lUlC t.hal I am. mclmed to think t.he public ta.ke thl.s work ve~'Y much for granted-not always appreciating the sacrifice of lel sure time It entads on the part of Brigade members. First Aid has been rendered on 26,124 occasions, and I am confident that this figure would be considerably higher if members would only realize how necessary It IS to report. every case where first aid is rendered. Transport.-There are t~' elve ambulances stationed in the County. Two Home Service Ambulance CommIttee's, 8 affiliated, and 2 unaffiliated (Leicest.er Centre's).

The amount. of t.ransport work carried out in 1933 reached a higher total than in any previous year. The cars carried 7,146 patients, covering a mileage of 63,382, which proves the increasing use of the ambulances as an agent in the treatment of the sick and injured. Road Pat1'ol.- I am pleased to report that this duty is still being carried out conscientiously. There are 3 First Aid Huts and 45 First Aid Posts in the County. .t1wards.-The following awards haye been gained during the year:1 Service ::'IIedals. 17 Service ::'Iledal Bars. Hospital Dllty.-::'Iiany hours of assistance ha,-e again been giyen by members of the ... ursing Dl\'isions in the wards and out-patient departments of the local hosplt.als. COlllpetitions.-I hope that 193-1: will see a revival of the interest in competition \\ ork, which has shown a dist.inct falling off in the last few years. Obituanr.- The County has sustained another sad loss during the year by the deat.h of 'i r l\rthur Faire, C.B.E., D.L., J.P., for many years _\ssist.ant Commissioner for Lelceslersillre. His sen'ices for t.he .\mbulance Cause and also his work during the ',"ar In connection with the transport of the \\'ounded \\ill ne\-er be forgotten. In concludmg, I acknowledge wit.h profound thanks the loyal assistance of Officers anc! members. The satisfactory condition of t.he \york in the County is largely due to the efficient co-operat.lOn of all ranks. I haye the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEO. F.

Colonel Ford has obtained the gift of no less than 9 ::'Iotor .\ mbulances to the Contributory Association and these are used by the St. John per onnel. \Ye ha\'e as paid staff a garage superintendent \vho is an Ambulance Officer, five dn vers and two orderlies who are all members of the Brigade and also four Ainlmlance Sisters. All others work voluntarily and it is interesting to record that over 700 orderlies, drivers, and Ambulance Sisters gave voluntary service in 1933. During the year the Ambulances carried 9,40-1 patients over a distance of 8-1,688 miles. The City authorities and many private individuals use our service which is earning for itself a splendid reputation. This coalition with the Birmingham Hospitals Contributory Association has proved of varlue to both bodies and to the public generally.

As indicat.mg the amount of voluntary service which the Transpor~ Servic.e alone ntails a careful record was made for a period of five weeks dUrIng which the following work was carried out on a purely voluntary basis : Voluntary Drivers 663 hours Voluntary Orderlies. 796" \'olunt ary Xurses 1,963 " Blood Tmnsfllsion.-A number of members of the Brigade have .given their sen' ices in thIS C<1use and \'aluable aid has been rendered on many occasIOns. Corps Sllperintenclell L Captam Cooper is the lIon. Secretc~.ry of the Bir~ingham Bloo.d Transfusion Sen Ice and as a member of that CommIttee I should 11ke to take thiS opportumty of placing on record his \'aluable sen'ices in that field of ~ffort. . , 111111fal I nspeclion.-By kind permission of the Vi ce-Chancellor thiS was agam helel on the ni\"ersit.y Playing Fields The Inspecting Officers were Colonel George ::\Ioore, C.:"ILG., D.S.O. (.\ ssistant Chief Commissioner), and Lady Perrott, R.R.C. (Lady Superintendent-in-Chief). For the first time in Its history the Birmingham County put three, Ambulan~e orps, consIsting of < 00 Officers and men, on parade; there were. also some 1~0 ,\mbulal1cc Sisters and theIr Officers. The St. John :'filitary Band whIch has greatly I111 pro\'e.(l under Bandmaster Capers also p~raded. There. \\'~re also 13 M?tor .\mblli ances which Inclucled some belongm cy to the Blrmmgham Hospitals ontribut.ory ,\ssociation who provide them for the sen'ice which is maintained \\ Itll the assistance of the Brigade. . ll11l11al Chllrch Parade. ·This took place at the Parish Church of St. ~Iartm on ~5th June, "hen a large number of both the .\mbulance and Kursing Units attended. The general public alo attended in largely increased numbers. The Hector of Birmingham, Canon Guy n .ogers, preached a very fi~e sermon. The collection was devoted to the Opht.halmic Hospital of The Order ll1 Jerusalem. I<lag Dav. -This was held on 10th June and resulted in the addition of a~~ut {,-I- -0 to the ounty and Corps Funds. Its success was due largely to the orgal11zmg ablllt.les of Counly Orficers I·jng~nort.h and Elliott as \Vell as to the collectors who turn ecl out fur the occasion . •\ ( ' ITeu tlqllarlers.-·The outstanding e\'e nt of the year has been the opening of our long desired headquarters. These were designed and supervised by County Officer Ballard , "ho acted as honorary architect and I \"ish to place on record here his \ aluabl and de\'otecl sen'ices in that capacity. The opening took place on aOth September. SIr Charles Hyde, Bart, our Honorary President, declared the budding open in the presence of a distinguished gathering, which included ~Iajor General Sir Perci,'al \\ Ill~inson the C:ecretary-General of the Order, Alderman Goodb\' the Lord ~Iayor of Birnungham, Dr. Barnes the Lord Bishop of Birmingham who dedicated the buildJl1g to the Sen'ice of The Order and to the memory of Dr. Thomas Xelson our first.\ sistant Commissioner, Sir Gilbert Barling the Pro·Chancellor of the "Cnn crsity, Sir Charles Rafter (the Chief Constable) and Lady Rafter, Dr. George St. Johnstone (the Chairman of the local Association ommittee), ::\laJor Orton (CommiSSIOner of the \\'e tern District), and many others. The 1)uildmg l'i well adapt.ed to our needs, is close to the city centre, has accommodation for 12 :.'.Iotor .\mbulances and forms a valuable addition to the provincial property of 1 he Order. In conclusion 1 must expresss my grateful thanks to all my Officers and other ranks \\ho ha\'e " 'orkedloyally and dc\otedly under the trying conditions of removal int.o our ne\\ premIses. The di"ision of the old Corps into three has I am sure been for the good of lhe work in this city and a healthy ri\'alry between the three Corps \yill be all to the ach'ant.age of the St. John \"ork in Birmingham. The )'ursing Corps under the able leadership of Lady County Officer Mrs. Porter and Lady Corps ~uperintendellt ~lr . Oli\'er Lee has worked splendidly. .A regular Ambulance and Tc:lephone ~en'ice has been maintained and the canteen " 'ork which is so necessary for the comfort of bot.h the paid and the voluntary staffs has been ably supen·iscd. Lady orps Officer ~liss Biggs has gi,'en daily service throughout the year and has on many occasions been out on distant journeys on Ambulance duty. I bave the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. A. H ENTON \YRITE, Captain, County Commissioner, Enight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J erusalem.

Cases treated during the year 1933: 39,6-!3. Eight Ulllts " 'e re disbanded during the year, and are as follows : Btenka Ambulance DiYlsion; Little Hulton Jursing Division; Chequerbent, Victoria IIall, \Yaterbarn, and \Yalton B.B. Cadet Ambulance Divisions; and Prestwich and Chorley Cadet Xursing Di"isions. The adet Units show a very good increase in personneL

Road Patrols.-From the returns recei"ed, a decrease of duties is shown, but as ten Unit. have faIled to submit records the figures shO\yn below cannot be taken as a correct guide to t.he amount of " 'ork performed : 3,152 l.'umber of miles patrolled . 1,629 ' umber of Officers and men on duty 159 umber Jf Lacly .A mb. Officers and sisters on dut.y 156 umber of Cadets on duty . 389 Jumber of days on \"hich duty Llone 262 umber of cases treated A number of letters have appeared in the local press in various parts of Lancashire sho\\ing that the general public is appreciative of the road services rendered by the members o( the Brigade. During the year a new Road Hut was opened at Litherland m.aking a total of 15 Road lIuts and 7 Tents in this District.

THE

ST.

JOH

AMBULA CE BRIGADE .

The Units from which no reports have been received arc Astley Bridge, Barrow, Chorley, Fleetwood , Haslingden, Haydock, Litherland, Lytham St. Annes, Prescot, and \Vaterloo. Public Duties.-A largely increased amount of public duty has been carried out by the various Corps and Divisions in the District. during t.he year, and pract.ically no function where the sen'ice of the Brigade members is necessary is left. nnClUenc1ed. Increasing demands are being made upon our members, and t.he admirable spirit shown in meeting these calls is ,,'orthy of t.he highest praIse. . Space does not allow mention o£ any. but a !ew of t.he l~rger dut.les .performed, but the same zeal and efficiency is shown III carrylllg out the mlllor and less lI1t.erestlDg duties as those of a more spectacular nat.ure . I have pleasure in mentioning two periods of duty carried out by the r.lanchester and Salford Corps, which will serve to convey something of the " 'ork done. Trhitsuntide Processions-5th and 9th jUl/e.-These processions took place during very hot weather and 1,028 cases were treated during the b\o days . There were 259 members of the l\Ianchester and Salford Corps on duty, incluc1in~ Corps Surgeon Major Burt Hamilton, M.C., orps Superintendent ::'Ilr. • 'a ylor, ancl Lady Corps Superintendent :'\Iis Haliday. District Officer Col. C. H. S. Redmond inspected the 23 First ,\id Posts whIch were established at various points in the lty. Royal Lancashire .Agricultural Show, Salford-3rd to 7th .I1Ilgllst. -I a,- and night duty was undertaken during the period of this large show, and 1 3 cases \\ere treated, some of a serious nature. Bolton CoYPs.-During the \Yhitsuntide Proces ions at Bolton 260 memhers of all ranks were on duty and 114 cases were t.reat.ed, t.he arrangement.s bt:lI1g made by District Officer Lomax and Corps Superint.endent. J. \\'. Lowe. Football Duties.-Yery valuable service is given by the members of the various Corps and Di\'isions during the Association Football se3.son, all the large mat<.hes being attended, and as the spectators frequently number from 50,000 to 75,000 , accidents are ineVitable. At recent matches at Liyerpool as many as 100 to 200 ca es \\ ere i reat.ed. Route Marches.-Although I mentioned in my report for ]932 that no Route Marches had been held, this was not correct., as :.\larchc had been held bu t. no report was submitted to District Office owing to the illness of the Route ::\Iarch Secretary. During 1933 Route ;\Iarches were held at the follo\ying pla ces: Blackburn, Burnley, Darwen, Clitheroe, Barrowford, Padiham, Tra\\'den, antI \\'halley. These larches are a most valuable means o£ e'{citing puhlic interest and helping the efficiency of those taking part, and I am desirous that they should be exlendecl. R eviews and Inspections- South-East Lanca shire Corps and Divi 10llS.-Th IS Review was held at Heywood on 27th ~Iay, when you, S1r, honoured us with your presence. O\ving to the extraordinarily inclement weat.her t.he \'anous Units had to be housed in se\-eral halls in the town, and it was not possible t.o carry Ollt. an Inspect.lOn in the usual way. heen disappointment was felt by all ranks that tho weather conditions proved so detrimental to your visit t.o Lancashire. South-West Lancashire Corps alld Divisions.-On Saturclay, 15th July, I inspected the South \Yest Lancashire Corps and Divisions at. Prescot , assist.ed by District Officers J . H. Cleal, Col. G. C. E. Simpson, O.B.E. , F.R.C.S., and \Y. H. Gastall, D . C.M., B.SC. A muster of 684 of all ranks was under the command of District OffIcer Capt. A. F. Kimmo, M.B., OLB., assisted by Corps Supt. Potter, Lady Corps Supt. r.liss l\Iargaret Joyce, l\I.B., and Corps Officer \V. E. Searl. A large number of spectators, including 1\1r. Roland Robinson, M . P., and Mrs. Robinson, together with members of the Prescot V.D.C., were present, and as reported to you, Sir, I found a decided improvement in every way amongst the Units on parade. Rossendale Valley Units.-The various Divisions in the Hossendale Yalley area hp,ld their Annual Review and Inspection on 20th l\Iay at. IIaslingclen, and were in spected by Dist.rict Officer Col. C. H. . Hedmond, on my behaH. The l\Iayor and l\Iayoress o£ Haslingden were presenl, together with many leading local ladies and gentlemen.

Some of the units are still suffering from financial depression but the general outlook for the future appears to be much brighter. The Bol\ington Division is still a source of anxiety but I am hoping that before very long this division will again be functioning properly. The Ambulance Transport at Cheadle Heath, covering 14,6-12 miles, has earned the gratitude of countless patients and its services have been specially mentioned by the Joint County Committee of the Red Cross Society and Order of St. John. I am pleased to relate that, although we cannot boast of any spectacular achievement during the year, with one or two exceptions steady progress has been made throu ghout the County, and it is impossible to measur~ t~e amount of pain and suffenng that has been relie\'ed or avoided by the conscIentIous and whole-hearted work of our members, which is highly appreciated by the community.

SIR,

I ha\' the honour to submit to you my Report on the above Counties for the year endltlg 31st December, 1933 . The strength in the respecti\'e Counties is as follows:Cumberland. W estmoyland. 9 with strength of 273. 3 with strength of 6. .\mbulance Dl\'isions 5 92. 2 33 . Tursing Di'l. iSlOl1S 2 16. 2 26. adds (boys) 1 2. adcts (girls) . .I.

Total with strength of 1-17 . 16 with strength of 381. \\'lth the ounty Staff, the total numbers are 532 , being a decrease of 37 on the previous year; this decrease occurs in the Cadet Divisions only, there being a slight increase in the Ambulance and .I. ursing Divisions. There has been no new Division formed nor has any been disbanded . The work ha been ql.1letly carried on with efficiency well shown. \' ery good rescue work was accomplished on several occasions amongst the mountains and an enormous amount of general work has been carried out by both Ambulance anel ~ Tursing Units. The Cadet DIvisions are a difficulty, as whilst there is no diminution in the numbers that apply for admission, as soon as the age of employment is reached, so many ha\'e to seek work elsewhere and resign; Cadet Officers do an enormous amount of bard work which bears so little immediate fruit. I think it might be more in accordance with business principles if the training of Cadets was not begun till they had reached the school-leaving age and though this might lead to an apparent diminution in numbers, it would certainly ease the labours of the Officers. The Iedical Comforts Depot at Kendal continues to do good work. The i.1.H.R. in Cumberland has attracted an increase of members, this being now forly, as compared with twenty-six in the previous year. There are 43 V.A.D. members at Kendal and Cockermouth of which three are mobile. In the Sladen Competition, only open to \ Vestmorland, Kendal secured the Shield, whilst Ambleside Cadets carried off the Banner. In the County Nursing Competition, Egremont were successful in retaining the " Collinson" Bowl and the" Cockill" Cup for individual excellence was won by Ambulance Sister M. Hawkins of Carlisle. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, \ V. BARON COCKILL, Commander of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem .

T7isit. ?f the Sub-Pri?y oj The 01'der.-On 8t.h AprIL t.he District was honoured by a VISIt from The RIght Hon. The Earl of carbrough, K.G., etc., ,ub-Prior of the ?rder, wh~n h~ opened the new. Hea?quarters of the Doncaster orps HIS LordshIp saId that, to one lIke hImself who had an inside knowleclrre of the wO.rk, nothing was ~o in~piring as the fact that once men and women jo~ned the Bngade and caught ItS spmt they so often made it their life's work andil dominated them to the end. Paying tribute to medical men, Lord Scarbrough said they were the sheet anchor of the work. In attendance upon His Lordship were the Commissioner of the DIstrict the Chief of Staff, and the Assistant Commissioner I c .\rea. Others present incl~ded the Mayor of Doncaster (who ga:ve a luncheon party before the ceremony). Alderman Hepworth, ex-:'1ayor and PreSIdent of the Corps, ::.'.lajor Clarke, Chief Constable Clayton, and Corps Supt. :'lacaskill. The new Headquarters meet a much-felt need due to the laro-e increase in the number of First Aide~s during the last few years 1Q a rapidly gro~ving Borough like Doncaster, on the mam artery between London and the ::\orth. My thanks are accorded ~o. Corps Supe~intendent D. :\Iacaskill for the perfect arrangements made for the VISIt of our dIstInguished guest. A Case.-Early one morning one of our members was called out of the eno-ine roo.m of the S::[. Barton to assist in getting a man out of a small rowing boat, ~vho whilst attemptmg to swim the Humber from :\Tew Holland to Hull had collapsed m the water. With great difficulty he was lifted aboard and it beinD" a cold morning he was taken into the cabin. t> Artificial respiration. :vas immediately commenced, a doctor was sent for, an ambulance was reqUISItIoned, and the Fire Station asked to send their Torvex Oxygen apparatus.

A policeman arrived and in due course men from the Fire Station with their orvex. Artificial respiration was continued in relays by our member and two firemen, others applying hot. cloths and frictIOn to the limbs under the doctor's instructions. The doctor then decided that it would be safe to remove the patient to the Hull Royal Infirmary, where he remained for eight days. The patient. made a wonderful recovery and in a letter of thanks states that he owes his life to our member. Cases Treated.-Armley and "Wortley Division have since their registration in 1919 given First Aid on 6,733 occasions, 573 of them being in the last year. Gainsborough Division registers 1,258 cases in the twelve months involving a total of -1,275 hours. These two Divisions, taken at random as units far apart, give an indication of the enormous work being performed by every Division in the District. .,1 n Cllllsllal Case.-A Sergeant of the Sheffield Corps was doing duty at a large Charity FLte, when a man ran into the Ambulance Tent and asked to have several small wounds upon his hands dressed. He had been bitten by a monkey. The Sergeant. immediately attended to the wounds, and was amazed. to noti~e that the man had a snake cOiled rounel his neck. which seemed to be takmg partIcularly keen interesl 1Il the actions of the 'ergeant. The Sergeant asked the man if his " muffler" was a harmless one, and was told that it was a very intelligent tame snake belon~ing t.o a menagerie of which the patient was the proprietor. Puollc 11Il'ctllzgs.-The Sheffield 1 Tursing Division had their 21st Birthday 'lebrallons on Sunday, 15th, and :\Ionclay, 16th January. Occasion wa" taken hv the Chief of Staff to speak on the aims and objects of the Bngacle at a big meetin-g and entertainment organized by the Denaby Main Corps on 6th ~la\'. There was a conSiderable attendance of Colliery Officials and the general publJc. :'lrs Else presented certificates, medallions, and labels. r\ Fist . \Icl tent at the Co-operative Field Day Sports and Entertainment for Children at Langlev Park on 29th .\pril proved to be a necessary installation for numerous minor mishaps.

From Tuesday until Saturday the tatIon at the Show was not WIthout the presence of a l\ledical Officer between the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. .\ total of 358 cases were treated at the Station, none of them very serious, but one very narrow scape may be mentioned when a trooper of the Life Guards recei,:ed an lllcised wound on his right upper eyelid from the lance of another man whilst tent peg~Illg A ?Ilotor l\mbulance was present on each day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. except of course when out with cases. Four removals only ,,"ere necessary. I spent day of "W ednesday, 5th July, with my people inspecting the Road Stations 111 tIle Borough and the arrangements in the Show Ground.

'eyer has this important duty been more efficiently performed. My warm thanks are due to Assistant Commissioner Chambers. He slept on the Show Ground and consequently was available night and day. The ,\nnual Outing given by motorists in North Staffordshire to crippled children was thi year on th July, to Doddington Park, the seat of Sir Delves Broughton, Bart. ome ~OO private cars conveyed about -150 cripples. Ambulance men of Korth Staffordshire accompanied the several sections of the com"oy. Smart work was done by Derbyshire men when a train collision occurred a t Ambergate on 17th July at about 12.30 a.m. A private of the Belper Division resident near-by was immediately on the scene and his partIcular work with regard to a case of a foot cut off has been referred to me, as of the very highest order, by the surgeon who treated the case. Every Belper man called upon promptly turned out. Alfreton men recei"ed a police call at 1.30 a.m. and in twenty minutes they were away with the Divisional Surgeon, Supt., Ambulance Officer, a Corporal, four Privates , and a Motor Ambulance.

AMBULA "CE BRIGADE.

This, together with an increase of strength in several of the older Divisions, has resulted in an increase of 339 in the per onnel of the Brigade in this Area. The record at the end of the year was as follows : VOl'thl//I1berland. Durham. 2,103 8 0 Ambulance Divisions 254390 Nursing Divisions 234 74 Cadets (boys) . 39 Cadets (girls) . Grand Total (including County Staff): 3,991. The Annual Inspections of all units have been carried out during the year and the indications are that the general standard of efficiency is being well maintained. It is with sincere regret that I recall the death of County Offi.cer aptain \V. Handyside ( erving Brother of the Order) who had served the Brigade fait.hfully in many capacities for the long period of twenty-seven year. Also the death of Divisional Supt. R. tokoe (Serving Brother of the Order) of the Hetton-Ie-Hole Division-the senior unit in this Area. 1\1r. tokoe had rendered very valuable services over a period of twenty years, and he passed with tragic suddenness as the result of an accident. The passing of the e two Officers is a dist.inct 10 s to the Brigade. The Annual County Church Parade was held in Newcastle Cathedral on Sunday, 17th September, by kind invitation of the Provost, Canon J. I . Bateman hampall1 . The sermon was preached by the Rev. H. G. Hastings haddick, O .B E., T.D., Senior Chaplain to the Forces, T.A., orthern Command, Chaplain to the Order of L. John, and the service was very successful. The parade numbered over 1,700 of all ranks. The Public Duties recorded during the year show an increase, and are likely to continue to do so in , "iew of the larger number of requests and also the gradual development of Road Service work. The Competition for the Ambulance Trophies continues to promote interest, and the entries were up to average. The entries for the Nursin g Trophies, ho\\ e\·er, were not so numerous as I should like to see them and steps arc being taken to rekindle interest in the competitive side of the work. The" Coroner Graham" Challenge Shield, a competition which is open to team from industrial concerns within the confines of the ounty of Durham. and \\ hich is organized by the Brigade, produced thirty-eight entries~ The Final of this om· petition was held at Sunderland on 4tll ill arch , and resulted in the succ ss of :'II urton Colliery Division (B team); the runners-up being I.C.I. (BiliinglMT11 13 team), who hold the" Torth Mail" Shield. A similar competition for the "Macintyre I\Iemorial" Cup. open to teams from the orth-"\Vest Durham Area only, was held at Conselt on 29lh .A pril, and the trophy was won by Crookhall Colliery team. The results of the various District Competitions were as follo\\"s : Silver Challenge Shield.-City Division, ewcasUe-on-Tyne orps. Northumberland Bronze Shield.-City Division, ewcasUe-on-Tyne Corps. Durham Bronze Shield.- 1\Iurton Colliery Division. Yorkshire Bronze Shield.-Middlesbrough Central Division. Colonel F. W. Gibbon Bowl.-Hetton-le-Ilole Division .

the District showing the highest standard of all-round efficiency, is held by the Dean and hapter Division. Sunderland Eastern Division was awarded second place, and ReckiU Division (Hull Corps) third . The holders of this Cup have the honour of providing the " Colour Party" for the year. The" Storey" Efficiency Cup, awarded on similar lines to the" Robert Anderson" up, is held by Y .!>.!. ~ ursing Division (Hull Corps) and "'Western Jursing Division (Newcastle-on-Tyne orps) . (These two Divisions again tied for first place.) In conclusion I \\ ish to again place on record my sincere thanks to the County Staff, orps and Divisional Officers, and all other ranks, for their cordial co. operation which has contributed so largely to the smooth working and the gratifying progress of the I3rignc1e work in 1his Area.

The work 111 the Area has steadily progressed, the manifold duties at football matches, sports, places of amusement, and the annual fair, etc., have resulted in our members being called upon to treat 433 cases. The number of cases treated by members when not on public duty totalled 14 ,3 18. The Road \\"ork in the Area has been keenly maintained, Three new stations have been staffed this season, and the ,,·ork in general has been very satisfactorily performed. 15 ,526 hours of duty have been done at the various Huts. 6,500 miles have been patrolled. 215 cases have been treated- many of them very serious. In connection with Road "\York, it is with very profound regret that I have to report the death of County Officer E. B. Stephenson in Tovember last. He was the founder of Road "\York in East Yorkshire and this work 'will ever r emain a living memorial to him, although the Brigade has lost a devoted Officer. I\Ir. H. Bartrop has been promoted ounty Officer to take charge of this ·work. The members of the Nursing Divisions have done 732 duti es at hospitals and clinics, and, also, assisted with the Iedical Comforts Depot at Hull. This latter work is growing year by year a nd is a great blessing to the sick poor. On 25th May Colonel Moore, As istant Chief Commissioner, inspected the Hull Corps and Beverley Division . On 11th June I inspected a combined parade at Filey, Lady County Officer Lady Atkinson inspecting the ur ing Divisions.

a total of seven, and the l\Iiddlesbrough Central will this season open a second Hut on the Rcdcar Trunk Road. 131 Road Accidents have been attended with a mileage for removals of 810. 705 cases have been r emoved, with a mileage of 8,522, to which the Eston )\mbulance contributed 5,394. Four motor ambulances are opcrated by Divisions in the Area and there are three :Medical Comforts Depots. The :Yliddlesbrough Central Division supplies men regularly to the J. Torth Riding Infirmary for preparing patients for operation, thus relieving the staff considerably. The Gr at Yorkshire Show was held in Middlesbrough 11th to 13th July, and my oiler to undertake the necessary First Aid arrangements was accepted by the Counetl. The per~onnel was volunteer ed from five mbulance and one Nursing Division, and they put in 1, 90 hours of duty spread over four and a haH days and four nights. .\1. their request, it was arranged that the local Detachments of the B .R.C.S. !:>hOllltl co-operate WIth us and thIS worked out smoothly and happily. 112 cases were treated, several having to be kept in bed for , 'arying periods and one all night. Thlrty-hvc cases \\ere treated on the 'how Ground itseH. The .\mbul ancc Station, in 4 compartments, was equipped as 2 \Vards, a Dressing Station, anel an Orderly Room and Kitchen combined. Lo t children \\ ere dealt WIth by the Nursing ::'lembers and some hundreds of school ch Ildren were supplied with mIlk. The how authoritIes and the Police expressed themselves as being highly satisfied w11.h the arrangemcnts made The hId onstable of ::'Iliddlesbrough, in his annual r eport, r efers specially to the assIstance he has received at all times from the Brigade. The \Yh itby DI\'lSlOn was vi ited during the year by Dr. . Corbet Fletcher, .\ ~sistant Surgeon-in-Chief, who reported later to yourself on the high state of eJliciencv that he found . eneially, m)' visits to the Di\"isions in the Area prove to me that a fine spirit of sen ICC exists throughout and again I would express my gratitude for all the help and the loyal support I receive from Staff, Officers, and members. Durmg the last two months of the year I was, with your permission, absent in India, and the work of my office was carried out most ably and willingly by County Officer \\'alker and mb. Officer J . Pearson of :r.liddlesbrough Central Division. To these Offi cers I can hardly be sufficiently grateful, as without their promised help I could not have contemplated leaving the country. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRED. P. 'VILSON, Officer of the Order of St. John of J erusaiem.

No. VII District. REPORT OF THE COU TY CO:\ll\IISSIONER IN CHARGE. 9,

COLLEGE HILL, SHREWSBURY,

31 st iI/arch, 193'*. THE CHIEF COl\Il\IISSIO 'ER, ST. OHr AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1933, which I trust you will consider satisfactory. The strength at the close of the year was as follows : Officers and 1en 270 Lady Officers and Ambulance Sisters 178 Boy Cadets 20 Girl Cadets 16 making a total of ,*8-t , and a net increase of 59 (1,* per cent), whIch, added to a net increase of -t-t in the previous year, indicates, I think, a healthy state of affaIrs. The gain in 1933 was largely due to the revival in Hereford hlre, where the three existing units showed substantial increases, and a new ... Tursl11 g DIvision \\'ac: registered at Ross-on-'Vye. Two full dress Inspections and Church Parades were held . The firs t , on Sunday, 18th June, concerned the Brigade in the County of Hereford , when our four divISIons combined with those of Gloucestershire and ,Vorcestershire in an Il11pressi\'e ceremonial at Gloucester. The service in the cathedral \\'ill long be remembered. The Inspecting Officers were Colonel J. L. leeman , ChIef ommissioner for the Bngade OYerseas, and Lady Perrott, Lady Superintendent in Chi f, "ith whom \\as :\IajorGeneral Sir Percival 'Yilkinson, Secretary General of the Order. It I ' hoped that this" Three Counties" Inspection will be an annual one, to be held m the three cathedral cities in rotation . The other, which ranked as a District Inspection, took place al Os\\cslry on Sunday, 15th October, and all divisions were well represented . ,\s Os\\'estry lies just on the '\Yelsh border, the counties of Denbigh and :'I]ontgomery were on thIs occasion invited to participate, which they did, and the lI1nO\'ation pro\'e<l very popular, both counties sending strong contmgents, headed by theIr respect 1\ c Commissioners. 'Ye were honoured by having the llon . John II Bru cc, hI ·r Secretary and Commissioner for ¥,Tales, to inspect the men, whHe Lady Perrott., R.R.C., accompanied by her daughter, Lady Forester, \\'ho acted as her Staff Office r, inspected the Nursing Divisions. Lord Forester, County President for ShropshIre, presented service medals on the parade ground. Lord Harlech, President of :'IIerioneth Centre, with Lady Harlech and many other prominent supporters also attended. The Mayor and Corporation, in full civic state, joined in the procession \\ hich was headed by the British Legion Band. At the approved t . John service In the Parish Church, the Rev. C. Cousens Petch, Chaplain of the Order of St. John and Corps Superintendent at Cheltenham, preached the sermon. The parade was the largest e\'er held in this District, and the bearing and marching of all ranks received high commendation. By the kindness of Viscount and Yiscountess Hereford, who are such good friends and staunch supporters of our movement, a highly successful fete, including sports and" all the fun of the fair" took place on \\,hit-Monday in the beautiful grounds of Hampton Court, Leominster. The occasion, coupled with glorious \\'eather, attracted thousands from all parts, and the funds of the local divisions profited accordingly. The extensive arrangements were carried out by Supt. G. N. Bullock. As regards the duties in general, 1,0 14 cases were treated by individual members, and in addition 214 cases were removed by ambulance, with a mileage of -t,143. Road accidents treated numbered 78. All these figures show an increase over the previous year. The Ross and Ludlow ambulances are clearly doing excellent work, and a first-class new vehicle will shortly be presented at Ross, in place of the original second-hand one. Numerous hospital and clinic attendances have been rendered by Madeley, Market Drayton, Church Stretton, Shrewsbury No . 1, Hereford, and Ross. Thrce mcmbcIs

attcnded the Southern Camp, including Lady Supt. ri ss H . Corser, who filled the post of Asst. Adjutant, while two attended the Northern one. Road patrols at week-ends wcre organized by H ereford and Ross. Medical Comforts Depots were maintained by Ironbridge, l\Iadcley, ,hrewsbury TO. 2, and Hereford. . Pubhc ~ulies . were e~ciently' carried. out, the 1110 t important as usual being m connectIOn \\ Jtll the ShropshIre Horti cultural Society's great Annual Show and the ,\Yest lldlancl Agricultural Sho\\. Good work has also been done on many public occasions, and at football matches, race meetings, cmemas, ctc . Two members attended GIrl Guide camps. All units \\ cre inspected and re-examined during the year, in addition to the massed inspections .. I personally per~ormec.l these duties in the cascs of Oakengates, Ludlow, Ilan\\'ooc.l, Shre\\sbury, \\'ellll1gton, Hereford City, and Ross Ambulance Di\'isions, a~d l\larke~ J?~a ylon'r hurch Stretton,. Shrew bury (N?s. 1 and 2), and Hereford City .r; ursm.g Dl\'ISlons. [he ~creI.ord CIty UDltS were lDspected by me on Sunday, 10th Sept.ember, 111 the hlstonc grounds of Dmmore :'I [anor, by kind im'i tation of :\lr. and 1\lrs. ~]urray. Here a special address was given by the Dean of Hcreford m the ancIent Prece~tory Church o~ St. John, and a!1 un:lsual feature in the day 's \\ork \\ as the Itfe-savmg demonstratIon m the open-aIr SWlmmll1g pool. :'IIy sincere thanks are due to :'II~ ..and :\Irs. :'.Iurray for their ne:,er-failin~ hospitality and intercst, and also to i\llss \\ nght of Shrewsbury, for agam thrOWIng open her house and grounds on the occasIOn of the inspection of the TO. 1 l~ursing Di"ision. DI\'lslonal accounts indIcate a sound financial state, and contributions to the Distncl Fund are \\ell maintained. Distnct eliminaLll1g competitions were not held during the year. The last took place at the ncl o~ 1932, and th?se f~r this year arc beiog held this spring, it being felt that kcenness IS better su tamed If they are conducted nearer to the time of the London Finals. I ha,'c bccn fortunate in securing the services of Lieut.-Col. C. 'V. Eames, D.S.O., T.D , M . D., as ounty Surgeon (,'alop). Dr. Eames had a great deal of experience i~ the Bngade prior to the \\~ar, anel took the Xo. 1 St. John Bearer Coy o,'er to I'rancc, \\ here he had a dlsLlt1gUlshed record. The DIstrict has been without a County Surgeon Sll1ce I relinquishcd the post on promotion, and I have still had to act m that capacily, so that I no\\' hope to be able to delegate more of this work. I am r.:lad to say wc have suflered no losses through death, and only one officer has reSIgned on grounds of heallh, \ IZ. :\[rs. Plowden, the first Supt. of the Ross Xursing J)1\'lslon. She steerecl thIS ne\\' Unit through its difficult early days, and \\ c werc \ ery sorry to ~ose her. In the interim. Dr. Anne Pillans, our only Lady DI:.JslOnal ~urgeon, earned on I~losl ably, an? \\'~ now have a new Lady Supt. elect. I here IS one \\ eak element m our orgamzatlOn . I am conscious that in some dl\'lslOns the positIon depends cntirely on the officer-in-charae, and, if for any reason the gUiding hand is withd~a\\'n, there is. grave danger of disi~tegration and collapse. ThIS should not be so. Every officer m charge should ensure that a well-trained subordl.nale is able and WIllll1g to take over the reins at any moment, and no junior officer IS dOll1g Iw; or. her duty unless prepared to shoulder such responsibility if and whcn t.he need anses. Ii IS most unfortunate \\'hen good material is sacrificed for lack of a leader. In addition ~o thanks already express~d or implied, I must specially add my warm apprecIatIon of thc he.lp I ha\'e recel\'ed from Lady ounty Officer Mrs. E. R. Andre\\ s'. and ll1 general I WIsh to thank all officers and other ranks most sincerely for contnbulJng to what has been a prosperous year. I am especially grateful to those who came long dIstances to attend the Annual Inspection, in some cases eiahtyfi\'c miles from home. D I trust there will be no looking back, and that we shall continue to gather stren2i:h. ~\ good augury is the number of Association classes bein a held in fresh localities lDspi~ed largely, I think, by the increasing toll of road ac~idents, and there i th~ certamty of at least one new ambulance station being inaugurated in the near future, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, R. L. E. DOWNER, County Commissioner-in-Charge, Officer of the Order.

the dense crowds at Home Park, but reports of thousands of smaller but highly necessary services have come to hand . Hoad and Beach Patrol work (especially the latter) i acti\'ely maintained and the \'ery fine summer meant increased demands for assistance. There is a need in this Area for greater intere t in .\mbulance ompetition work , and it is hoped that, despite the heavy calls for actual First .\id and transport, every uperintendent will endeavour to raise at lea t one Competition Team. After all, it is not the trophy but the training which counis It is pleasing to record that the Order of t. John awarded Its Life-Sa\'ing :'Iedal to Corporal J. ,\Yilliam , of the Plymouth Co-operati\'e 1 i\'ision, for hiS gallantrY in descending a steep cliff at much personal risk to render FIrst ,\Iel to a <;eriouslv injured patient. Privates Noy and Harringto n \\ho assisted him are also deserving of special mention. At Launceston a forward mo\'ement is being made regardlI1g permanent H eadquarters, and both Salt ash and Ta\'istock add to their ordlllary .\mbulanc duties some much-appreciated indoor as istance to their local hospitals. The Boy Cadets at the Plymouth ( obourg ,'treet) cntral School have been commendably active with the \'arious Badge- ubjects in the Jm'entle urriculum; in fact there is e\'ery prospect of at lea t one Grand Prior's Cadet (I.e. twelve qualifications) during 1934 . Launceston Cadets al 0 ha\'e a mo t encouraging report, but generally the boy cadet movement in South De\ on and East Cornwall IS not as strong as it \yas; moreo\'er, several Units ha\'e not vet ralsc;J C:1 let 1 InslOns, although these are such effective rec ruitmg grounds. the great al110un of homelessons, the superior attractions of the \\ ell-eslabltshed Jl1\' nile rganizattons, and other circumstances beyond local co ntrol ha\'e all militated afTainsl adet progress. . The Inspection Reports on the .\mbulan ce -nits in the \rca have been \'ery encouraging indeed and tribute is due to County Officer T D Pcrkins ,incl orps Supt. ,\Y. F. Pethick for all their help as Inspection Officers, Examiners, and for other invaluable Staff activities amongst the men of the Plymouth, South Dc\'on, and East Cornwall Area. (2) Mm-DEvON ,\REA (Report of Assistant County Commissioner H . J . Ylck, of Paignton.) I beg to submit my first annual report as ASSIstant ounty 01l1mlssioner ill charge of the above Area. De"on County was split into four districts for administrat.i\'e purposes at the end of Ju.n~ last, and ~ was placed in charge of ~Iid -De \'on. This .\rca has 2 orp and 14 DIVISIOns, not l1?-cludlllg Salcombe, which is in abeyance at the present time. The personnel conSIsts of 9 Corps Officers, 41 Divisional Offic rs, 3) .l. -.C.O.s, and 271 Privates, giving a total of 359 of all ranks, being an increas of 17 on the year. The returns show that 1,195 cases \\ere attended, 1 ,~6 1 r mO\'als carried out, and 262 road accidents attended, entaIling I ,O-W miles by .\mbulance. Thc mileage covered for removals was 21,612 . These figures gl 'e some Idea of tll work carried out by the St. John Ambulance Brigade in 1lid-Devon, but only those behind the scenes can appreciate the self-sacrifice, and d evotlO n to duty, the Officers and men who undertake these arduous tasks in the relief of suffenn cr hum aI1l ty. At .the present ~ime Brixham , Chudleigh, Kingsbrid ge, and Telgnmouth ( Ivisions are w1thout Supel'lntendents, although in each case Officers are temporal'lly in charge. !he Brixham Division \\:a~ only registered in the early months of 1933, and Chudleigh III 1932. The latter DlvIsl~n has now been incorporated in the Tewton Abbot Corp . I hope to be able to appolllt Superintendents for the foregoing vacant positions in the near future. As the years go by we naturally lose some of our older Officers and men, and I have to rec.ord with regret the resignations of Dr. Dunlop as Divisional Surgeon and Supel'lntendent and Ambulance Officer Pawley of the Torquay Division. They b~t~ ?ave 27 years' service to their credit, and attended the first meeting of the D~vlsIOn: Dr.. ~~wper has als.o resigned his position as Superintendent of the Klllgsbl'ldge DIVISIOn, and Mr. Bilton as Superintendent of the Teignmouth Division. Both these officers have long records of service in the St. John Ambulance Brigade. It becomes increasingly difficult to obtain efficient men to fill these positions as they become vacant, but it is hoped that men of ability and public spirit will come forward prepared to carry on the work of the Brigade.

One hopeful feature is the increasing interest being shown in the Cadet :vIovement in this District. Cadet Divisions are in course of formation at Chudleigh, Paignton, and Torquay, and I think that if a County Cadet Officer were appointed it would help to stimulate thi s lmportant ,,'orlc I have had reque.sts frol?

The activities of the t.] ohn "\ mbulance Brigade are firmly established in orth Devon. This year has been chiefly em.ployed in establishing and formin"" lh nucleus for \yorking the new .\rea.

All the division in the Area are thoroughly healthy, are doing good. work, week by week, and are thoroughly keen and ha\'e the complete confidence of the gene ral public and their generous support. The great e\'ent of the year was the most successful ralh', at \\hlch we had the honour of a visit from the Chief urgeon of the Brigade, 01. 1.

This is a "ery large area, with considerable gaps of country to be fillecl up yet, and we are a small unit in the Brigade, but I can assure you th:1.t all ranks arc filled witll enthusiasm and the fine St. ] ohn spirit, and I hope by ne. ,t year to be able to send you a much finer report of our activities and our pro~ress. All the divisions are no\y supported by strong Association ommillee., who take from them all responsibility for funds, and back them up in e\'cr ' way. V,'e also have a fine Cadet Division in Barnstaple, of which we arc \'ery proud, they have been formed several years, and are now beginning to senel us rel-ruits for the men's Division of a very fine type.

Havmg no recognized Aid Post, the duty 'was a little difficult, but on several occasions holiday makers were grateful for help rendered by these members.

I personally -1'e('1 ,-cry proud of the public serVIce our young members are rendering in many directions. Barnstaple registered a Nursing Cadet Di\ ision in ~lay,\\'hjch promIses to be a \'cr\' enth~siastic one.

Durlllg the year Nurses have treated 2,492 cases (an increasc of 22 First .\icl cases as compared with 1932). Removals with .\mbulance, 2026 (alo an increasc of 282). Hospital attendances, 684.

hol idays, when t.he men themselves are on holiday, and it is not unreasonable to realize that at times they, too, want to be with their wives and children at the seaside or countrysIde instead of patrolling roads. The men are constantly doing duties at football matches, street duties, theatres, cinemas, and so forlh, and now in several instances the 1\'urses' sen-ices are asked for at cinemas where the [11m to be shown is of sensational charactcr, and we ha\-e never faIled to meel the demand. The strength of the District is as follows : -

I have the honour to submit to you my report of this District., umber. r, S1.. John Ambulance Brigade, for the year 1933. I personally haye not inspected all the fi\'e counties under my charge, but the reports of the Assistant County Commissioners who individually did inspect all Detachments under them are all satisfactory and, indeed, in some cases arc ycry complimentary to the Divisions. One thing that strikes me is the very cordial relations that exist between the Police Authorities on the one hand and the members of the Brigade on the other. I never fail to impress to all in this District the supreme import.ance of doing their utmost at all times to co-operate in all ways with the Police Authorities. As a result we have such an excellent understanding throughout the ounties of the District. Indeed, iI'l. scveral important towns in the Eastern Counties the Chief Constables are our main source of influence, and to them our great thanks are due. \ \'e cover an enormous mileage yearly in our Road Patrols and, although in some areas the work is not carried out as I would wish, nevertheless, I have little or no cause of complaint, for, as you are aware, these patrols do duty on high days and

The grand tolal of thcse with t.he "anous staffs conccrned is I, 743, and this shows a marked increase again this year to last year, so that there is steady growt.h in the mo\-emcnt in this area, and e\-ery year sho\\'s new Divisions being formed, both men',; and womcn's . . \gain I have to report that. a Di\'ision at Cromer, by its own effort, raised surticient funds to buy a brand ne\y .\rnbulance to take the place of one that had a 'sur city clone Its duly, and desen-ed a rest. .A nd, again, this was properly <1e<11 ateel in the presence of t.he Yarious local dignitaries and associations, and was a great success. J1Ice/ical Oil/fort J)cpots . -These arc doing a grcat work where\-er they are eslablished and have proyed the1115 h oes a great boon to all and sundry ,,-ho have need of lh' \-arious artiel s on loan. \nd the a tonishing thing is that these article, from a bedpan to a completc accollchment outfit, are praclically ne\-er stolen, but arc 111\ an,lbly rciurned in clean and excellent ordcr, although they are lent to the poor st of til' poor, to whom in lhese difficult times such articles must be at mptation. Our men and " 'Olllcn "ork these Depots out of t.heir o\\-n time, and I han' nc\ er 11 anI anything but. praise for t.helr beha\' iour and courtesy. ThIS year \\ arc ha\'ing- thc Eo)'al Show hcre in Ips\\ich, and we are fortunate in being asked to undcrtake the necessary medIcal \\'ork in connection with it. The PJll1LC of "'ales is to attencl, so that, in addition to the personnel required in con tanl attendance night and clay at. the show, our re ources during his visit in patrollmg- some four or fi\'e mIles of streels will be somewhat taxed; ne\'ertheless, I havc no fear of it, and I am quite sure that the County of Suffolk will meet all clemanc1s required of It. Our Y_\.D.s arc excellently efficient, so says the \Yar Office Inspector, and that \-iew I thoroughly endor e. I need carcely add they are perfectly fit to undertake any duties reqmrcd of them. at home or abroad, and all ha\-e put in the training at the "arious hospitals as required by regnlations. The only fault is they do not get long enough at the hospitals, and I hear of complaint - that the \\-ork they are asked to do IS too elementary, Some who attend ho pital outpatients, and actually relieve during nurses' holidays, know a good deal more than the ~Iatrons of the ~Iilitary Hospit.al- realize. Taking temperatures, pulses, and making s\\-abs and rolling bandages for a week on end is scarcely worth the expense of scnding them. to a m.ilitary ho pital, specially in thosc of our nurses who have attended the rcmo,'al of t.onsils and ot.her minor surgery where an allccsthetic is required. 0l11.e of them actually take charge in the rccovery room after an ancesthetic, so that I rather sympathize with their complaint. These girls gi\-e up a week's holiday for their training, and COHle back rather disgruntled that they ha\'e learned nothing that thcy did not already know, and so lose a certain amount of thcir kcennes , which i a pity. Finance is a great worry. Fishermen, engineers, and farmers, of which these counties are mostly composed, are all badly hit, and so we suiler from decreasing subscriptions; but. omehow wc carryon, and I hope will for years to come, but we all wish this depression would pa s. It would make things so much easier for us who have to keep the pot boiling and the flag flying.

The usual routine theatre, footbaU, and hut duties werc carried out. At the Firsl Aid Hut in O'Connell Street, 1,6 7 cases were treated, 942 by the Day Ordcrly and 7-1 5 by thc Xight and Sunday :taffs. Thc Phccnix Park Hut was open from Sept mber to ::'Iay; :\ferrlOn Strancl Hut during thc summer months, and for the first tlmc the Bngadc erected and staffed a Hut at Killiney Strand for the ba thIng season. A demand is being made by the publlc for a greater extension of FIrst . \ 1(1 service along the coast, and wC are in communication with the local authorItlcs on the subject. The frl\'allcl Transport Sen it e carried 1,66 cases during the year. These included 111<1 ny long distance calis, the mileage being 23,-!39. The .\mbulance Sisters who a llencl at IIeadquarters daily to accompany female cases whcn required, also do a conslclerable amount of se\\ Il1g and other work for this and the , \ Te!fare liepartment.

The great demand for air cushions IS alway a hea,'y drain on thc resources of the Department. A sum of £14 \\ilS raised by means of a Jumblc'ale to\\'ard thc outlay in the Department. '1'h Stores liepartment is also uncler ~[rs. Eo\\ lette's guidance.

The results h ,we bcen a great boon to many needy persons and ha,'e far exceeded the hopes of .\115S Blandford and hcr Organizing CommiUee. The St ] ohn .\mhulance Bngade \ \ TeHare Committce, \\·ith the co-operation and supporl of the JOint Hed Cross ommili.ee, has four ~Iaternity Dining Roomsone for lhe ~orth-\\'c<; i., one [or the South, one for Inchicore, and one for :;:";orthJ~ast areas of the Itr of DublIl1.

Only the poorcst of the poor are fcd and many of the m.others are stan'ing. The maximum incomc aftcr dcducting rent, mnst not exceed 55. per head for a family of 6 persons. Each woman who applics for help is required to attend the Pre-natal Clinic of one of the ~lat rnity Hospitals. Each baby i expected to attend weekly Dr. Eerry Reddin, .Assistant ~l.O.H . at the Baby Club for the district where the farnil\' liye. This work, in thc realm of Pre~enti,'e ::'Icdicine, is calculated to help the commnnity to a grcater degree than the treatment of discasc . "Pre,"ention is better than cure." \ Ye therefore keep in touch ,,,ith the Pre-natal Clinic of our three Lying-in Hospitals and \\'ith the :']unicipal Child ' Ye]fare Clinics. The educational , 'alue of such linics are ob,"ious. ;'Iothers are taught how to prepare baby's food, the yallle of yitamins, and are insi.ructed as to the most econ omic and nourishing food-stuffs to be purchased for the household. Only \\omen who attend regularly in order to recciYe f ull benefit of the scheme are k ept on th register. To cont inue this work the Committee .find it necessary to rai c at least £400 per a n num, in addition to the ~runicipal, Joint Committee, and Brigade Grants. This i d on e thro ugh the \ Yelfare Sale, functions, and by \,oluntary subscriptions received fro m friends.

12th .1pril, 1934 . SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1933. During the year there has been a satisfactory increase 1I1 both the number of new Divisions and in the total personnel. Especially has this been the ca'c 111 regard to the Tursing Divisions, and I must hcre pay a warm t.ribule t.o thc self-sacrificing and devoted "ark of Miss Sinclair, t.he Lady Dlst.ncl Supenntendent, and l\Iiss ,\Ybitaker, a Lady District Officer, who ha\'e been indefatigable 1I1 their efforts to extend the scope and usefulness of the Nursmg Divisions. The following table shows the strength of the Bngadc at t.he end of the year under review : DIVISIONS. PERSONNEL. TVomen. JUen . Tolal. 111en. IVomen.

During the year they attend cd over 3,000 cases. Ulster International Tourist Trophy Car Race, 2.9 .33. - s in previous years the Ambulance and First Aid arrangements for this important event were under my personal supervision, and I am pleased to report that, as a result of the splend id rally of the members of the ursing and Ambulance Divisions, as well as of other voluntary organizations, the service provided was found to be adequate to all the demands made upon it.

REPORT OF THE COMM I SIONER FOR WALE.

BRIGADE STREl GTH .

A the figure below will show, there i an increa e of 1,246 in the trength of the Brigade in \ Vale on the pr viou year's total, comprising 739 men, 96 women, 261 boy and 1-0 girl ; and thi result is obtained after di banding four Ambulance and two adet Ambulance Divisions which had become inactive . The big ri e in the case of the men is largely attributable to a new acces ion of trength in the form of Colliery Units; and the increa ingly ympathetic attitude of Colliery Owners towards the Brigade may be noted as one of the contributory factors to a sati factory year' work. .\t the lydach Merthyr Colliery, Swan ea Valley, for in tance, a Division baring the name of the pit was equipped with uniform and provided with a Divi ional Headquarters through the generosity of the General ~Ianag r, the late Mr. R. Vaughan Price, who was clo ely identified \\'ith the Priory. \Yith a strength of 179, thi Unit can boa t of the large t memb rship in \Yale ; and while it is certainly a memorial to an out tanding .\mbulance Bcnefactor it is typical of the helpful disposition of many ollier)' Owner in \ V'a]es. The formation of Cadet Units has continued throughout the year with undiminished enthu iasm, and the constant tream of applications which continued to flow in when the econd grant from the Pilgrim Tru t was nearing absorption sugge ted an appeal for a third and final um to enable the Priory to afford a mea ure of hclp to the large number of Units which had been formed with the pro pect of obtaining a two-third grant towards the cost of uniforms. Once again the Trustee were able to consider favourably our application and it wa very welcome nev\' to learn that a final grant of £250 had been allocated on the 17th January, 1934. The distribution of the total amount of £3,000 received from the Fund has had far reaching effects apart from the obviou beneflt to the Cadet Movement, which has grown from 1,807 in 1930 to the pr ent total of 3,380, while a large number of the 90 nit on the trength in 1930 have been equipped in addition. The Cadet Movement proyides a training in which di cipline is combined with mental ex rci e, theory with practice; and in a distressingly large number of cases it has created an interest in the lives of young boy who leave chool with only the unhappy prospect of joining the workless population.

RESERVES.

The Military Hospitals Reserve includes 437 Officers and men of the Brigade in vYales-23 more than at the end of 1932; and the annual hospital training is eagerly anticipated. There i still a waiting Ii, t for enrolment in the Royal Naval Auxiliary ick Berth Re erve, the establishment of which is complete; and at present only 16 \\ elsh Members enjoy the privilege of membership of this Reserve, which, like the M.H.R., i recruited solely from the personnel of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. The \Velsh Priory's contribution to the scheme for Voluntary Aid Detachments remains unchanged. There are three St. John Women's Detachment in Glamorgan, and one in Brecknockshire, each of which wa in pect d in 1933 and recommended for a continuance of official r cognition. BRIGADE DUTIES.

Out of 286 Senior Units, 243 Divisions record the treatment of a total of 42,917 ca es of sickness and accident. Returns of the number of attendances at Hospitals and Clinics rendered by 49 1 ur ing Divi ions (out of 62) record a total of 333. The Road Accidents in which member of Ambulance Divisions rendered assistance number 670; and 39 Roadside First Aid tations and Posts are maintained. The arrangements in connection with the latter proyision vary in the diff rent localitie. In many places the Priory has had the privilege of supplying Road ide Cupboards to the order of local Councils, the initial co t being horne by the Authority and subsequent maintenance by the local Brigade Tnit which al 0 places its service at the disposal of the public by displaying the names and addre ses of members available on call. A the year pa. s the voluntary personnel of the Brigade undertake a continually increa ing task, which is accepted without murmur even though the public is sometimes too little appreciative of the invaluable amount of work for the sick and injured which is cheerfully carried out day after day by the men and women upholding the watchword of the Order. AMB ULA CE HALLS.

\Vhile a number of building schemes are in operation, no new Halls w re opened during the past year. The policy of the Priory has been to dissuade Units from incurring big commitments where the prospects of meeting them are not sufficiently promising. ,everal Divisions originally contemplating ambitious plans have hown commendable energy and enterprise in attempting bv voluntary labour to erect more modest buildings; and the difficulties experienced owing to lack of suitable accommodation might be solved for some of the Units in Glamorgan by a concession granted by the Glamorgan County Council Education Committee, whereby permission was given for schools to be used as Ambulance Headquarters on payment of regulation heating, lighting, and cleaning fees only, without the usual hire fee . In cases where Units are attached to Collieries or \ V'orks, it is not unusual for adjacent premises to be provided free of cost .

THE ST. J OH

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

AI\I\U .\L IN SPFCTIO);". An outstanding feature of the year 1933 was the visit of the Chief Commissioner, Major-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., who conducted an Inspection at Tredegar Park, by kind permission of the Centre Pre_ident, Viscount Tredegar, C.B.E ., on 20th May. It was the first time for the Brigade in 'Yales to be honoured by the Chief Commissioner; and Monmouthshire was the fortunate Centre which enjoyed the privilege, having qualified for nch an occa ion by organizing triennially a parade of all the Units of the entre. Neighbouring Centres were invited to join in; and ju t over 2,000 were on parade, of whom 1,600 were members of Monmouth hire Divi. ions. Through the good office of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Rhy \Villiam, Bart., K.C ., D.S.O ., the Borough of Rhondda entre was given an opportunity of inspection by H .R.H. the Duke of Glouc ster, in connection with Hi Royal Highness's visit to the Rhondda in October. I was particularly pleased to be invited by the ommis ion r of the No.7 District of the St . John ", mbulance Brigade at Hume to in pect, in company with Lady Perrott, R.R.C., a parade of member of the Shropshire and Hereford hire Divi ions and the Denbiah. hire and Iontgomeryshire Centres of the Priory at Oswestry on 15th October; and look forward to similar joint parades between the bordering Countie being arranged in future, alternately on vVelsh and Engli h ground. ' Vith few exceptions, all the nit were in pected during the _-ear. I had the honour of conducting 23, my A istant ommi ion r (Mr. A. G. E. J. Pudge) kindly undertaking 6 while the i tant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for 'Vale (Lady Lewis, O.B .E.) in pf.cted the Nurses on 8 occasions. The Brigade Headquarter Staff has been augmented by the appointment of Lieut.-Colonel J. E. H.

the Priory, whose Principal Secretary was appointed H onorary Director of Ambulance. In addition, assistance has been given to Chief Constables and various authorities in arranging Ambulance Competitions, which continue to be an unfailing source of encouragement. SERVICE MEDALS

D BARS.

Forly-two members qualified for Service Medals on completion of fifteen y ar ' efficient service in the Brigade, 27 receiving Bars at the nd of 20 years and six gaining Second Bars on completing 25 years. MOTOR AMBULAi'CE TRANSPORT SERVICE. Thi Department completed the fifteenth year of its existence with 16 ambulance stations in addition to a Central Garage with pare car at Cardiff. In the past year 9,105 patients were carried, the total mil age being 183,8111-an increase of 1,035 cases and 17,3631 mile on the figures for 1932. Thirty Colliery Companies are subscribing to the service in respect of 68 collierie , covering approximately 41,407 men, and nine other Companie , covering 2,126 men. In 25 di tricts « outside subscribers, numbering 1,601, are contributing through voluntary coUectors. The Priory acknowl dge it gratitude to the latter who, in many cases for a period of year, have given generously of their time and services in enlisting the up port of the general public; and it was recently agreed to remunerate such helper by the payment annually of a small percentage on the amount collected. ~\:-- the y ar" pa . , a higher standard of ambulance vehicle is demanded than in the day when a converted war ambulance was r garded as a d irable modern innovation; and the extension of this ervice, \vhich i undoubtedly doing work of great benefit to the sick and injured in the area through which it operates, i not pursued without clue r aard to technical improyement. In this connection, silence, mooth running and riding qualities received special attention in regard to the de ign of the late -t type ambulance built to the Priory's design . The dwindling amount of the annual grant made by the Miners' vYelfare 'und, which ha given substantial support to the extent of meeting all capital expenditure on the ervice, has empha ized the necessity for increa ina a reserve fund for the replacement of cars; and the opening up of new tations in future mu t be considered rather more strictly in relation to the pro pects of regular subscriptions being secured to cover the co t of maintenance. t the moment the Coalfield is _erved somewhat inadequately by 83 ambulance, all, with the exception of the Priory's, independent of each other; and a careful survey of the position revealed that a sufficient service could be rendered by a chain of 55 correlated cars. Obviously, then, the mo t progressive step which can be taken lies in the direction of co-ordination ; and it is to be hoped that as ambulance at present run by bodies of workmen or local Committees become due for renewal uch isolated services may be ubstituted by Priory tations, just as at Gowerton where a Priory Ambulance is giving entire sati. faction in a locality formerly served by a locally administered car.

A Joint ommittee equally repre entative of the Priory for \Yaleand the Briti h R ed Cros ocict 7, accommodated at Prion' House, is re pon ible for the admini tration of the Home ~ervice Amb'ulance ars which are rendering extremely u eflll service in ar as not overed by Priory Ambulances. There were ix of the e car operatin a in \Vale during 1933. a e carried by the Home ervice car during 193R number 1,03 , wi th a total mileage tra \'elled of 12,877. ,cl'ond Am bu lance was obtained by the \Vrexham St. John Ambulance Diyi ion in the year, and affiliated to the H ome Service cheme; and grant were agr ed by the Committee toward the purchase of car for Abergavenny and Brecoll, which will be in commis ion early in 1934. EMERGEXCY HELP FUXD.

Sin(:e 1920 Office accommodation ha been proyided at Priory HOlLe for the administration of the work of the Glamorgan Emergency Help Committee of the J oint Council of the Order of t. John and Briti h Red Cro Society, the object of which is to render temporar)' r lief in emergencies to ex-service men . uffering from ickne . or cli-ab1cment attributable to or aggravated by \Yar ervice. During the year ended 30th September, H)33, grants were made to 689 ca e invoh'jn~ a total amount of £9.11 , in addition to which a urn of £75 obtained from oUler Charities was di tributed by the Glamorgan Committee in de erving cases which were out ide the scope of the Emergency Help cheme, and considerable as istance wa given in inve tigating applicationmade direct to R egimental and other Organizations. ~iEDICAL

DEPOTS.

The total number of article. i. ued through the Medical omfort Depots during the year was 5041, an increase of 516 on H132. \\11ile two Depots were clo ed, three new ones were opened, bringing th total number in operation to 34. \Vith the exception of even, all the e Depots are carried on by Brigade nits; and it i difficult to convey by either words or figures a correct idea of the uffering and anxiety relieved by the provision of invalid appliance to those otherwi~ e unable to obtain them. Quite an appreciable part of the ervice rendered in connection with a Depot is the advice and often practical a sistance in the care of patients particularly in areas not provided with Di trict Nurses. Visitors to Priory House, where the H eadquarter Depot deal with an average of three to four applicants daily, are u uaily impre sed with the practical nature of the work, unhampered a it is by rules or " red tape ". STORES DEPARTME 'T.

As in the two preceding years, the normal sales have been inflated by an expenditure of Pilgrim Trust Grant, involving a turnover of £800. From the first instalment paid to the Priory in 1931 to the end of 1933,

1,606 boys and 330 girl s were equipped by me~ns of ~rants equi\'al~llt to two-thirds of the cost of requirements. It IS part Icularly plea mg to record a more general tendency on the l=art of Divisions to purcha e uniform and equipment through the ~riory. \i\~ith this in~reased mea ure of support, the prices of several artIcles of umform ~url1ltur~ have been reduced; and the continued co-operation of the Bngade WIll naturally tend towards mutually advantagcous terms. The total nllmber of Textbooks issued during the twelve months was 4471 a decrease of 473 over 1932. Although the number of First Aid b;ok~ was 190 higher, 788 less copies of Preliminary First Aid were sold la t year than in 1932 when the abnormally high sales included the fir. t-fruit of the Pilgrim Trust timulns. The acceptance of an offcr of a free stand at the Engineering Exibition held in Cardiff from the 22nd November to the 2nd December afforded a good opportunity for the di play of First Aid equipment. YISIT OF n.R.H. THE PRIOR.

The econd era in the hi tory of the Priory, heralded in by the revi ion of it Regulations and con equent changes in offic~rs and titles, wa . ignally marked bv a vi it of the Prior, H.R.H. the Pnnce of \Vales, on Tuc day, 1Gth :;\Ia\', 1933, when \Vel hmen and \Yelshwomen from far and near ioined in 'the warm-hearted welcome accorded to His Royal I Iiglme. s on -hi ' ccond appearance in Cardiff a Prior of th~ Priory for \\Tal c _. The two principal functions performed by the Pn~r on that m morahl OCC() ion were the Ul1\Tciling of the :;\Iemorial to SIT Herbert Lcwi" , K.B.E., in ,t. John's Church, Cardiff and the holding of an Iny -titurr of :\Iember') of the Order in \Yale at General A embly in the it)' IIall. The ceremonie. were a gr~a~ success from all point of vi w; the 166 memb r ll1vested receIvmg encouragement to continu th ir labours and large number of those to \vhom the Order bad made but little appeal being stirred to a con ciousne~ s of the real significance of the work carried on unde~ the eight-P?inted cross .. In concluding my report on the defimte undertakmg for \yhIch. the Priory i re ponsible, I would add a refere.nce. to the he~p bem.g gIven by t. John per onnel to kindred orgamzat~o.n. Thel.r ~erVlces are utilized by leader of junior organizations reqUInng first aId l11structors ; and uch movement as the Personal Service League find ready and willing helpers from among mem?~rs of t~e Order an~ Brigade. In other words, one cannot make good CItIzens wIthout makmg ~ood men; and the t. John tradition and training call .fo~th the hIghes~ an~ ?est within human nature. \Vith the sure convIctIOn that the Pnory IS m a position to make a contribution to t?e moral and so~ial welfare of "Yales, I appeal once again for the contmue~ co-ope~atI?n of all who are assisting in the adrnini tration and practIcal applIcatIOn of our \Vork, at the same time expressing my most grate~ul thanks for. the wealth of service and ceaseless endeavour so ungrudgmgly devoted m the past.

During the year 98 ervice 1edals and 72 Service Medal Bars were i ued by the Order of t. John to members of the Brigade Overseas. In addition 474 Efficiency.\ward were issued by the Brigade Overseas Headquarters. I was very pleased to meet several visitors from overseas during the course of the year. It is always a great benefit to discuss outstanding problems wit.h them and receive first hand information. \rVith regard to the work in each Dominion : AUSTRALIA.

On the death of Dr. T. Storie Dixson, which I reported with regret last year, it wa decided not to fill the vacancy in the Chief Commissioner hip as it was found simpler that the various Districts in Australia should communicate direct with Headquarters at St. John's Gate. This arrangement has proved a success and is appreciated by all Districts. In the New South Wales District the very high standard of work has been maintained and new Adult and Cadet Divisions have been formed . The first Grand Prior's Cadet Badge to be gained overseas was awarded to a member of the Marrickville Cadet Nursing Division within the New South Wales District.

that New Zealand has shown an increa e annually for many years such a record becomes all the more outstanding. Very good work was performed by members of the \ Vaihai Division, on the occa ion of a mining di a ter, in extricating injured men from a damaged cage orne 1,200 fee t below the surface. Members of the Brigade in New Zealand have been called upon to carry out duties at the Camps of the unemployed. During the year Major \ V. H . Borrie and 11r. A. O.

During the year Her Excell ncy The Countess of Clarendon very kindly con ented to take up the appointment of Lady Superintendent-in- hief of the Xur 'ing Di,-i ions within the Commandery. Following the appointment of Dr. Bennie H ewat as Almoner in the Commandery, Colonel \ V.

Dr. Bennie lIewa t has served the Brigade Oversea magnificently for man\, year and I heartily congratulate him on hi appointment within the ommandery. I have also to congratulate ?\Ir.

The I Istrict has contmued to ad\'ance during the year, the record of work carried out bv the DJ\ ISlonal Ofncer ' and members being most satIsfactory. From the report recelv d , the maJonty of Dinsions are in a flourishing condition, and seem to have recovered from the acute economic depre sion experienced during the last three years. Two noticeable features during the year were : (a) The registration of ne\\' adet Divisions. \Ve reg\lrd the Cadet movement as being of paramount importance for the maintenance of recruits for our Senior DIVISIOns, and (b) Th large number of asualties attended. The Brigade attends practically every port Ground within a radius of 25 miles from ydney, and during 1933 att nded -15 ,-191 casualtie entirely In a \'oluntary capacity. Our Brigade work is seldom sen 'atlOnal or conspicuous but it value is fully realized by those who ha\e receiv ' <1 attentton . It is vcry nratifying to report the formatlOn of the following };"ew Di\'isions and ections :20th February, 1933. Auburn ac1et. -ursing Division. 12th .\ pril, 1933.

Dr. Brennand ,,'as formerly Assistant Commissioner on the Staff of the bief ommls lOner for ,. \ustraha, and on Overseas Headquarters decision to disband the Austral1an tail he was transferred to the Xew outh , Vales Staff on my personal recommendation. He IS a loyal and de\'oted Officer to the Order of Si. John, ancI I am happy to have him a my Assistant. I am also pleased to announce the appointment of ::\Irs.

It is with pleasure that I report the appointment of :\1r. Neville Drake Pixley as District Officer. :\Ir.

To Miss Higgins we all extend our hearty congratulations. During the year advice was received from, His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, KG. (Grand Prior of the Order), that His ::\Iajesty the Eing had been graciously pleased to sanction the following appointment to the Venerable Order of the Hospital of t.

There are 23 men on the register, the majority of whom are keenly interested in the work of the Division, but, due to the fact that some are Constables, others work late hours, and one or two are on alternate night shift work, the position of the Division in writing does not appear so good as it actually is (certainly if these men could attend regularly the report would be very good). I have to r eport a marked improvement in the Annual Inspection of 1933, while only 12 men attended, in all exercises and in general appearance, everything was very satisfactory. Every opportunity of attending public duty has been taken and much fine work has been done in this direction. I regret to say that the Cadet Section is not very satisfactory; it is unfortunate that the drill night clashes with that of other boys' institutions. We are trying now to get a schoolroom where it might be possible to handle this work on a different night, and I understand from the Cadet Superintendent that if this can be done there are several new candidates willing to join. The work at St. George's seems to be finished, the trouble appears to be the inability of obtaining candidates. They have applied to Dr. Curtis for permission to disband.

CA ADA.-Dr. C. ]. COpp, behalf of ir Henry Pellatt, anada, report : -

ommissioner of the Ontario District, on hief Commissioner for the Dominion of

Twenty-fi\-e years have elapsed since a determined effort to establish the organization of Brigade Divisions in Canada crystallized into a reality and became a fact m the registration of Forest City Ambulance Division o. 1, London, Ontario District, and dunng that period steady progress has been achieved in public recognition, 1llcrease in membership, and faithful performance of duty. There are now 25 Ambulance Divisions and 16 ursing Divisions and 2 Cadet mbulance Divisions, with total members, all ranks, of : 679 mbulance men. 29 Ambulance Cadets. 435 Nursing members. The Brigade Overseas in anada has been represented at the Royal Review, \Yindsor Park, in 1912, at t.he Conference at t. John's Gate in 192-1, and at the ntenary of the founding of the Order in England in 1931. It. has -taken It.. part in the Great \Yar in providing personnel to His Majesty's rmy and ~ ' a\'y er\,lces in a special contingent of 60 members, and through the J omt. \\Tar ommlUee '''omen' Y.A .D . Department of 342 ursing members who sen'ed III t.he Na\'al and :'Iilitary Ho pitals of England. It organized in anada a "'omen's Aid Department to release 3,000 men on the staff of the Hospitals in Canada by supplying a personnel of 4,000 women to replace uch in the admll1i tration of the Hospitals. This establishment came into effect on 1st ' o\'em ber, 191 ,and was therefore not called up for actual service except in uebec Dlst.rict :'I.D. -1 and in its V.A.D. ursing members and Physical Re-educat.lOn, which continued until demobilization was effected. It sen' ice of Public Duty, still little understood, in many communities has gradually but surely extended to a sen-ice that is now looked for on all public occasIOns in t.he larger centres of populations of the Country. \\"lth bmlted resources its Divisions have secured Headquarters of varying size and accommodation, which have all been administered with the dignity becoming the traditional ideals of the Order. The great e\'ent. of the year has been the reception in Canada of the Delegation from the hapter-General of the Order, coming with the sanction of His Royal Highness the Grand Pnor, and with the good wishes of His Majesty the King, the Sovereign Head and Patron of the Order. It IS much regretted that a definite itinerary was not provided until after the arrival of the Delegation in Canada. Had such an itinerary been available proper plans \\'ould have enabled the reception of the distinguished representatives of the Order with a dignity of which all Dh-isions are capable, and which many could not demon trate because of inadequate time and lack of opportunity. The purpose of the visit of the Delegation has been accomplished. Our H eadquarters are to be henceforth in Ottawa, the Federal Capital of Canada, the Delegation giving assurance that the Brigade is to contin ue under its Regulations and established procedure. Ever associated with the chan ge incident to the establishment of a Commandery of the Order in Canada will be the names of Sir John Prescott H ewett, G.C.S.I., K.B.E . , C.I.E., Bailiff of Egle of the Order, and his daughter, Mrs. St. John Atkinson, a Dame of Justice of the Order, who by their grace and charm and comprehensive knowledge of the Foundations of the Order, have inspired confidence in all friends of the Order whom they have met as they travelled through the country and have undoubtedly added to these friends many more of whose assistance the Order may henceforth be as ured. Another event of outstanding importance was the bringing together of representatives from all the Districts of the Brigade to celebrate the inauguration of the work of the Brigade in Canada. This event took plane in London, Ontario, on the 25th and 26th November, 1933, and marked the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the inau guration of Forest City Ambulance Division o. I, Ontario District. The members and friends of this Division, assisted by the members and friends of the Lord Kitchener ursing Division No. 28, were hosts to over 150 members from outside cities. A specially prepared programme was issued, setting forth the history of the Forest City Division and containing the engagements for the two-day ceremony. Saturday

The adr:ninistration of the St. J o?-n .Ambu lance Brigade Oversea in India has been continued through the four Dlstncts with headquarters at Lahore alcutn Bombay, and Madras, each in the charge of an A sistant Comml lOner 'The are:' co.ve~ed by these Districts are very large, and it is seldom that .\ '1 tant < 0~1IDls.SIOners, wh? a:e ~ll.b~sy officials, have been able to viSit place lylllO' outside thedIr own ~fficlal.

A comprehensIve. scheme of r eorganiz ation will shortly be di cus ed a a c?nference of Bngade offiCIals . ~~nnt the .ye<:t r many changes occurred in the personnel, both at headquarters an m t e Dlstncts.

I must also refer to the retirement of the Rt. Hon . Sir Frederick Sykes, P.C., G.C.I.E., G.B.E ., K.C.B., C.M .G., from India. During his term as Governor of Bombay, he took the great est interest in the affairs of the Brigade and his annual inspections of the units were a great encouragement to all Bombay Brigade members. Th e veteran :M ajor George Lund, V.D., Knight of Grace of the Order , who died in April at the age of 93 , was the founder of the first Brigade unit in India, the Parsi Ambulance Divi lOn, and his death was mourned by many who remembered his services to the Order in this cou ntry . The most noteworthy event of the year has been the inspection of the Bombay Corps by their Excellencies the Viceroy and the Countess of Willingdon on the 13t.h u gu t. Tearly 500 members, both men and women, were on parade and H E. the Viceroy expressed great appreciation of their work. Their Excellencies also vi lted the Lady Willingdon Building, which is the headquarters of the Parsi Ambulance Division. The inspection of the members of the Brigade in Calcutta by H .E. the Commanderin-Chief in December is another notable feature of this year's report. The members paraded III two different groups, one composed of members of the Calcutta Police orps, and the other of members of the remaining Ambulance and ursing Divisions . At both the parades His Excellency paid a tribute to the good work which the memb rs of the Brigade were doing . At the police parade a demonstration of stretch r dnll and first aid to the injured was gi\-en , and His Excellency presented trophle., certificates, et c., to members of the police corps . Dunng 1 33, I was happily able, in the course of my official tours, to visit most of the Dlstncts and to inspect the Divisions . I held parades at Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta, and eyerywhere 'w as giyen a most cordial welcome. At Calcutta an impreSSive exhibition of stretcher drill and practical work was given by the members of the alcuUa Police orps . In all centres I was able to congratulate all ranks on the keenne s and efficiency shown. I also inspected the Simla Ambulance and Tur 109 D1YI IOns, present on the King's Birthday Parade in imla. :.11 A . :'1. PhillIps, R . R.C, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, held the annual in pectlOn of the ::\ursing Dl\'isions of No . I District at Lahore in February. She was greatly impressed 'with the smart turn out and efficiency of the members. There has been a further lllcrease in the strength of the Brigade, although it is regretted that TO. 5 (Campbell) and I o. 1 ( ~lymensingh) Ambulance Divisions in Ko. II District have had to be disbanded. This loss was more than made good by t.he addition of three new Divisions in this District, one from the East Indian Railway and 1.\.'"0 from the alcutta I olice . In o. III District the :Y1uslim Ambulance and the Jewish adet Ambulance Divisions were added during the year, while Nos. I and I District maintained their existing Divisional strength. The development of work on the East Indian Rail'w ay is due to the enthusiasm of Lieut.-Colonel ir Hassan Suhrawardy, Chief r-.ledical Officer of the Railway and District uperintendent and urgeon of the Suburban Sub-District of No. II District, who is a staunch supporter of Brigade work. The followin g is a summary of the reports received frOtTl the Districts :TO. 1 DISTRICT (LAHORE) . -The number of Divisions remained the same as at the end of 1932 , viz., 10 Ambulance, 6 "'ursing, and 3 Cadet Tursing Divisions. Lahore Indian Railway Division continued to be one of the most active units . Squads from this Division were on duty in connection with the Adh Kumbh Fair at Hardwar, the 110harram (Duldul) procession in Lahore, and the ola r Eclipse Fair at Kuruk hetra. Everywhere they attended to cases of accidents and assisted the pilgrims in various ways. At the orth-v\ estern Railway Inter-Divisional Hockey Tournament, members of this Division rendered first aid in four cases. The Carriage and TV agon and Loco Railway Divisions have not r eported any activities durin g the year. Fe1 ozepoye Railway Division.- squad from this unit performed duty at the olar Eclipse Fair at Kurukshetra and another at the Amawas Fair at Taran Taran. The mem bershi p was increased . Simla Division was represented at the parade on the King Emperor's Birthday, and members were in attendance at the Durand Football Tournament, when several cases were given first aid. Forman Christian College Division rendered public duty during Baisakhi Fair, J or Mela, Moharram, and various college functions . The members of this Division are reported to have saved two persons from drowning on the Baisakhi Day. An Ambulance display was given by members on the occasion of the University Jubilee celebration. 1

In all these far distant and little known places the injured and dl tre sed have been succoured in such a Yariety of circumstances as the attacks of wild bea ts, wounds inflicted by spears and other lethal \\'eapons, rescues from dro\\'ning, and poisoning. Divisional examinations and re-examinations \\'ere conduct.ed throughout the Colony in 14 centres during the year. Dr. W. H. Kauntze, 1II.B.E., Director of l\Iedical and anitary Seryices, Uganda, was appointed District urgeon Kenya and ga nda. Dr. J. A. Carman, ?1.D ., Kenya l\Iedical Service, was appointed DivisIonal urgeon to the Kenya Police Ambulance Di\'i ion from the 1st .l.Tovember, 1933 . Mr. J. G. Leslie, Ambulance Officer, acted from 14th October, 1933, as Superintendent of the Division during the absence on leave in the Untted Kmgdom of Captain G. Pritchard Brown, Di\"isional uperintendent. His Majesty the King was graciously pleased to sanction his followmg promotIOns in and appointments to the Venerable Order of the Hospital of t. John of Jerusalem : As Officers. Mr. R. C. A.

The Division has again to record its deep gratitude for the ready and valuable assistance given in instruction and examination by both GO\' rnment :'Iedlcal Officers and private practitioners throughout the Colony. " First Aid" was rendered during the year to 5 senously injured persons. Cases of interest are : • (a) An African natiye whilst endeavouring to free himself from barbed WIre, on which he had stumbled in the dark, received a lacerated \\'ound in the regio n of the grom. An African Sergeant (No. 285 3rd Sergeant Osero :'Iitari- Tribe KaYlrondo) was called and immediately applied pressure on the femoral artery after laymg the patient in a recumbent position. 'With the aid of onlookers he exposed the wound , applied iodine around it, adjusted a dressing, pad, and bandage, and arrested the hcemorrhage. The patient reco\"ered. (b) An African native who had been injured as the result of the explosion of a detonator, was successfully treated by an AsiatIc member of the Division ( ubInspector G. Sharman) with the assistance of an frican Corporal (No.9 orporal Mathias Okelo-Tribe Kavirondo), a non-member of the Division. The patient received numerous wounds on the abdomen, in the groins, and the ends of three of the fingers of his right hand were blown off. Hcemorrhage in the fingers was arrested by means of a tourniquet, foreign bodies removed from all wounds, iodine and dressings applied, and the patient treated for shock and removed to hospital. He recovered. (c) Efficient" First Aid" was rendered by Assistant Inspector Gribble, relieving the patient of considerable pain, in the case of an African who had fallen into a stone quarry. As a result of the fall he was suffering from a fractured base of skull, internal hcemorrhage from the left lung, broken ribs, simple fracture of the humerus, fracture of the left clavicle, and injuries to mouth and teeth. Splints and bandages were applied to the right arm in respect of the fracture of the humerus, a pad placed under his left armpit, and the arm bound to his body to draw the over-riding ends of the broken clavicle together; cold applied by means of a towel saturated with water to the apparent seat of the internal injuries and the patient made comfortable in a recumbent position until the arrival of a doctor. He was removed to hospital, but subsequently died of multiple injuries received.

(d) First Aid was rendered at }Jandera on the Abyssinian frontier, some 400 mi!es from the nearest medical officer, by Assistant Inspector Horley, to a Gurreh native who had b en mauled by a lion. Assistant Inspector Horley cleaned the wounds, arranged for IllS transport by camel to the nearest dressing station. Although still lame, he otherwise made a satisfactory recovery. . instructzon to Afncan Police.-Instruction of the Afn~an rank and file o~ the Force has contmued.

The river \\"as in flood, and as the camels entered the 'wa ter they were carried away by the fast flowing stream. Their i-Ierille herdsman ntered the water in an endeavour to return the animals to the bank, but was unsuccessful, became exhausted, and sank. Constable Guyuo Dugugi, without heslt.ation. di\'ed into the raging torrent, located the herdsman and succeeded in bringincY him to thc shore. Corporal luso Ali immediately performed artificial resp~rat.ion, contInu ing for some 20 minutes until no~mal re~piration \\'as restored. The patient made a complete reco\·ery. But for the tImely aid of Constable Guyu? Dugugl and the practical application of his knowledge by Corporal Uluso Ali. \\ ithout whi ch the gallant action of Constable Guyuo would ha\'e been frustrated, the lIIerilie tribesman would undoubtedly ha\'e expired. Endeavours have b een made throughout the year to extend the aims and objects of the Order among the civil population. Difficulty has been encountered in that few suitable orO'anizations exist through \vhich this can be commenced or developed, 1\ttempts have accordingly been made to arouse the interest of the general public, and With this object a demonstration of " First _ id .. was given by African Members of the Diyision at a Searchlight Tattoo held near Nairobi in February. Some measure of success was achieved, interest ha\'ing been shown by leaders of Boy couts Troops who are endea\'ouring to foster the movement among their members. Some advance has also been rnade among Railway servants in the Colony and in particular at IGlindini Port. _ . . . Every member of the Division and of the h ..enya PolIce Force will contmue enthusiastically to assist and inspire all those who are devoting themselves to the furtherance of the noble objects in the service of mankind of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

The Stores Depots at Auckland, \ Yellington, and hristchurch have continued to do good work. The formation of n ew units has cau ed h eavy demands to be made for material of variou kinds. It is hoped to lJromote the formation of Stores Depots in all districts in the n ear future. I have already brought und er 'our notice the excellent work done by members of the \ Vaihi Diyision in connection with the serious accident which occurred at the Waihi Gold lining Company 's Xo. 2 haft on the ~6th July, 1933 . T\\'elye men were being lowered when the cage in \\'hich the' were descendmg broke away and fell everal hundred feet before coming to re·t just above the ~ ~o. 13 level and about 1,!00 feet below the surface. The men were rescued with dlrficultv and the members of the division played an important part. in the work. The d"' lslon had at the time only b ee n in existence a little oyer three months and thus \ ery speedily justified its formation . I was able to visit Gisborne in :'1arch of last year, and in ac.lcl1tJon to attending an inspection of the four local diYI ions, I had the opportunity of me ting the executive of the Association .

Dr. R. Y. Stones, of the Church :'li ssionary Society, kindly gave t\\O series of lectures in First Ald dunng the year, one 10 :'larch and the other in :eptember, with the result that a further four candidates were admitted to the Di\ l';lon, ha\ mg passed the necessary examinatIOns. The strength of the DiYI IOn at the beginmng of the year was thirteen: of the e, one member was allowed to take his discharge from the forc on appointmcnt to a chieftainship, and one other who had only obtamed a certificate this year, was transferred to a different Department. The services of these men are not. entirely lost, as it is hoped they will instruct their nat!\'e subordmates 1I1 the elementary principles of First Aid. The number of fully qualified members of thc DIYlslOn on the 3 1st December, including Dr. Kauntze, the District Surgeon, and the candidates who obtained certificates during the year, was sixteen. I mentioned in my 1932 report that \\'ith 1 Police DIstncts widely separated, certain difficulties in co nn ection \\'ith the preparation and eXamlI1atlOn of candidates in First Aid were likely to arise, 0 far it has not been pos ible to prepare for examination and full membership any but the European and other Engllsh-speakmg members of the Force, which accounts for the present small number in possession of First Aid Certificates, but an endeavour is now being made to givc lectures and conduct examinations in the vernacular. Xeverthclcss, during these two years over 1,500 Africans have been instructed in the methods of rendering First _\'id, and are now to be found throughout the Protectorate to render aid which formerly was scarcely to be had save in the hospitals. ~ 0 doubt much pain has been spared and not a few lives saved by their administrations. All recruits passing through the Police Training Depot are now given elementary instruction in Pressure Points, Fractures, Bandaging, and methods of carrymg injured persons. Also, how to improvise splints, stretchers, and bandages from materials found at or near the scenes of accidents in case First Aid boxes are not immediately available. All recruits and trained constables are lectured periodically in First Aid and it is impressed upon them that no small part of their duties as police constables is that of assisting persons injured in cases of assault and accident. The Annual Inspection was carried out by the uperintendent of the Division on the 28th October, 1933 . The progress of the Division in the various units of the Force was inspected by the Commissioner of Police or the Deputy-Commissioner during their periodical visits.

By receiving instruction in gi\'ing First Aid every policeman is made to realtze that it is his duty to assist persons injured in cases of assault or in accidents. Such acts engender good relations between Police and publIc . I nst.catl of a PolIceman being looked upon as an enemy \\ho has probabl\' com to efkct an arrest, thi instruction tends to make the public realIze that a 1 oliceman , although out to arr '5 \\Tongdoers, at the same time is ready and willing to render asslstancc in cases of injury. As instances of the value of a knowledge of First .\id treatment, the followingcases are quoted : (a) In the early hours of the morning the Police 11l1es at 21\\ am \\'erl subject to a severe thunderstorm. One Police Constable and one child \\crt.: st.ruck 1J\' lightning. In the case of the child she was rendered unconscIous and her bn';llhing had stopped.

I inspected the \-anous Divisions of the Brigade in Kimberley on 14th October. nfortunately, owing to the temporary cessation of work at the De Beers Mines and th e great retrenchment of staff, the famous De Beers Corps was only a shadow of Its former selL Onc pleasing- feature of the inspection at Kimberley was the appearance of a large squat! of ."outh \frican Police, who showcd great keenness and ga\'e a fine exhibition of slr tch'l' drill I inspected the Cape Town Corps and the Cape Town Railway Dl\'lslons ill October. The ape Town ::\Ialay and Coloured Divisions have improved in a most remarkable manner both m IIome • -ursing and in Ambulance work. In • ~ovember the DIVIsions in the coast towns were lllspected at Uitenhage, Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, and PlCtermaritzburg, and I found everything in a satisfactory condition. "\ special feature of the inspection in Durban was the great eflicicnc\' and interest 111 the work shown by the yarious _-ursmg Divisions, and this applies to the whole country. It 1S very gratifying to know that we have "women of such aiine stamp in command of our Xursing Diyisions. The Assistant Commissioners for the ]{allway J)istrict kindly arranged for the inspections of the numerous Railway 1 i\ Isions at thc outlying stations. During the year the'outh Afncan Pollee commenced forming Divisions of the S1. John .\mblllance Brigade. The Comm1sslOner of Police appreciates the necessity for a kno\\ ledge of First .\id and has formed Divisions at the various centres with a view to keei)ing up their knowledge. In East London about 100 of them turned out at tll' lIlspection and looked a very smart body of men. They all seem keen and will be a great asset to the Brigade. The Cadets, especially the .i. - ursing Section, have lllcreased 1n numbers and efficiency. This is notably so in Durban. The Brigade .\nnual Competitions for the" elborne" Shield, " Hewat " Shield, and " Florencc Thompson" Rosebowl were held at Johannesburg on 7th October, 1933, and the usual high standard of efficiency was well maintained. Owing to insufficient entries the" Lady Price" Invalid Cookery Competition was not held. \V. B. KI:\:\ER (LIEUT.-COL.),
