REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL H.R.H. The Grand Prior thcn addre sed the Assembly as follows :_

CONFRERES.-Bcfore commenting on the reports just presentcd to us I wish to express my plea ure at having during thc Commcmoration Service prc ented the newly created Bailiffs and Dame Grand ro s with their in ignia, and rcceivcd ,ix new Knights of Justice. After considering the reports, I am impre scd with the teady progress shown in all form of the Order's work. I would refer fir t to the Del gat ion to Canada undertakcn by the Bailiff of Egle and his daughter, Irs. Atkin on, and I am glad to have this opportunity of congratulating them on the great success of their mission, which has resulted in the formation of a Commandery in that Dominion. The strain of such a tour must have been very great owing to the very inclement weather which they met with on their journeys across the Dominion. I note with pleasure that His Majesty's Office of \\'orks has placed St. John's Gate on the Schedule of Ancient Monuments. It is pleasing to note a further devclopment of the activities of the St. John Ambulance Association in Zanzibar, Cypru , and many other Colonies, and that satisfactory agreements have been ent red into with the Indian Rcd Cross Society regarding the \vork in that Empire. I am pleased to hear that at home there is a great extcn ion of the taking up of First Aid Certificates among the employees of the larg r omnibus companies. The work of our Hospital in Jerusalem has progressed favourabl, in spite of a temporary shortage of staff, but one of its main difficultie , the inadequacy of the water supply, has been made good by the hcavy rains which have lately fallen. The Ladies' Linen Guild has again been of great assistance to the Hospital in supplying many of its nccds. The report of the Chief Commissioner is again very encouraging, the increase both in personnel and in ne,,' Divi ions bing even greater than last year. I am glad to hear of the increase in the motor services maintained by the Brigade which now amounts to more than 250 ambulances. The Chief Commissioner for Over eas was also in a position to report large increases both in the number of units and in the per onnel, and in both the Home and Overseas rcports there is a gratifying increase in the number of Cadets. In Australia the new system of administration by which each State is in direct communication with the headquarters of the Order has workcd in a satisfactory manner. It only remains for me to express our grateful thanks to the Rev. H . G. Hastings Shaddick for having preached to us to-day, and to the Officiating Chaplain for arranging the Service." The Sub-Prior said :May it please Your Royal Highness. That actually concludes the business of our Annual Assembly, but my confreres here present will, I know, want me to convey to our Grand Prior our grateful thanks to him for his presence here this afternoon, and for his gracious comments on the really encouraging reports of his Executive Officers. More particularly are we thankful to welcome you, Sir, here to-day, remembering that indisposition a year ago prevented your presence wit h us, it

Twelve months hence t len, we s a ce hI?ore o~r ~elo;td f~:~~~ forward und r Providence to welcoming Prior and to thanking him, as I do now, or IS cons an. w 1 Order for his encouragement, his initiative, and for hav~ng, as I lope, complcted a quarter of a ccntury under his in~uence and ~l~e fOt~~~:~cte~ May I offer on your beh~lf with acclamatlOn o~,r gra e u His H.oyal Highness for hIS presence here to-day.

At about lOA5 a.m. on 1 th January, 1934, a six-storeyed warehouse in Hull containing some thousand to:1S of grain in bulk collapsed suddenly, burying and injuring a number of workmen, one of whom (James Staveley) was trapped by two large ba ulks which held him by the left foot and ankle su pend cd 1I1 the alT. Immediately o\'erhead were the remains of a crane which the demolished wall had previously supported, and the top part of the wall remained overhanging t.he position where Staveley was pinned, and likely to drop at any moment.. A plank was provided to support the injured man and a furth er plank placed for the doct.or to work on. Dr. \VaUs-ViTaters, who had been summoned, clambered over the debris to where taveley was pinned and despite the very llnminent danger of a further collapse of the overhanging wall, or of the crane, he administered chloroform, later amputating the foot, thus liberating the man. Staveley was taken to hospit.al u nder Dr. \ \'atts-\Vaters' supervision, and is stated to be recovering. Shortly after the man's removal the crane fell.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

VISIT OF DELEGATION TO C ADA. The Delegation which con isted of ir John Hewett, G.C.S.I., ICB.E., C.I.E . (Bailiff of Egle), and Mrs. L. E. Atkinson (Dame of Ju bce) left Southampton on 21 t October last and returned on 12th January of this year. A very valuable report was submitted by the Delegation on its return to Chapter-General. The vi it of the Delegation wa of the greatest value to both the Association and the Brigade in the Dominion and re ulted in a petition from Canada that a Commandery be established there for the purpo e of co-ordinating and organizing the work of the Order in the Dominion. The Delegation received unstinted hospitality from everyone with whom they came in contact including His Excellency Tbe GovernorGeneral, The Earl of Bessborough, and the Prime Minister, The Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. The following is a list of the place vi it d :- Ottawa, illontreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Quebec, Toronto, Calgary, Yictoria. LIBRARY AND ~IU EUil1. Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, reports as follows :The past year has seen the publication of everal work of con iderable interest to the Order. Firstly, a second edition of the Official Hi tory of the Order, by the Librarian, has been publi hed. It is a very much larger work than the original edition, brought out in 1924, and contain 268 pages with 49 illustrations. It brings the history of the Order thoroughly up to date, even including the formation of the Commandery in Canada on last St. John's Day. The book is published by the Order, price 7s. 6d. Secondly, "Historical Pamphlet NO.7," entitled " ix Documents relating to Queen Mary's Restoration of the Grand Priorie of England and Ireland", has been printed for private circulation by the direction of the Library Committee. These documents, written in a very ob cur and involved Latin, are preserved in the Public Regi try and rchives in Malta: they have never before been published in Engli h. Two works on the Order of considerable importance have also been published in Italy during 1934, by the Societa Editrice Internazionale. Firstly, Storia di Malta, by Leonardo Viviani, with a preface by Paolo Orano. A highly important work in three volumes, profusely illustrat d, published at Turin. Secondly, Le Guerre di Rodi, by Dr. Emanuele F. Mizzi, also published at Turin. It contains a description, by different authors, of the great sieges of Rhodes in 1480 and 1522. This book has been presented to the Library by the Earl of Iddesleigh, Chancellor of the Association of English Knights of the Sovereign Order. During the past year the much needed extension of the Museum has taken place, by opening a staircase to communicate with the cellar below. The cellar itself has been deepened to give sufficient head-room, and is furnished with show-cases lent by the Wellcome Museum, to which we are deeply indebted. The Museum, therefore, now consists of two rooms, and it is possible at last to display effectively the magnificent collection of objects of artistic historical and archreological interest relating to the Order, of which we are so proud. The work on the Museum was carried ont by Messrs. Dove Bros.

OPHTH.\L HC HOSPITAL .AT JERUS,:\LE 1.

The following i ext.racted from t.he Forty-t.hird Annual R port of the Committee :It is with regret t.hat. the loss by death of the follm;ving member. of the Committee during 1934 ha t.o be recorded- 1\Iajor-General ,ir R. Havelock Charles, Captain A. eton Chri topher, and 1\1r. Henry Engleheart. The number of patients dealt with by the taff shows a shrinkage in respect of In-Patients and operations compared with lU33. This may be attributed to staff changes and the fact that during the month of }\fay only two surgeons were available. The increase, however, in t.otal consultations may be accounted for by the addition of a fourth surgeon for the second half of the year. The staff of the Hospital shows a change in the Regi trar hip- Dr. Muriel Hamilton left in April to get married and i succeeded by \\ inifred M. Clement Ryan , M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. Chapter-General sanction d the appointment of a fourth surgeon (for a term of two year) in ord r t.o free the \Varden for more regular quarterly inspections of the ten overnment Ophthalmic Clinics for which the Order has accept.ed re pon. ibiJit. To fill this post Gwendoline M. Langham-Hobart, ~I.B., B . . (Durham), has been selected. Both these officer took up their dutie in J ru alem in June. St. John's Day was observed by a special Sen ice in t. Teorge Cathedral, by invitation of the Bi hop \\'ho i e1.:-officio a haplain and Sub-Prelate of the Order. The Hospital Staff and Members of t.h Order in Jerusalem were present. Lord Lytton, who visited the Hospital early in the :,'ear, ubmitted a valuable memorandum to the Committee on his return. He recommended that, if pos ible, the property adjoining \Vat on Hou e should be purchased for the purpose of housing the school for Arab girl in connection with the \Varden's scheme for dealing \vith the problem of " Blindn in Palestine)), to which reference has been made in the last t \VO Report . He approved the site and the layout of the building which were aIr ady serving the purpose of a school. The freehold wa ev ntually acquired by Chapter-General for a sum of £1,500 from the owners, the hurch lis ion to the Jews. Owing to a variety of causes over which the ommittee had no control, the completion of the purchase entitling to entry did not take place till October, when a further sum of £-4 wa incurred by fee in the Land Registry Office in Jerusalem. The Order now po e es in the Old City a valuable, and practically island, site facing, acro s David Street, the Muristan and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with a view eastwards to the Mount of Olives and the War Cemetery over the flatroofed houses running down towards St. Stephen's Gate. The Committee has taken a step forward in the matter of the building of a South Block primarily for paying patients but also to supply other much needed accommodation. A small Sub-Committee has been appointed to examine the whole question of cost of building and equipment and subsequent maintenance and it was given power to appoint an T.

on which a Commandery has remitted financial support as a corporate body, and it is worthy of note . It is hoped that this example will be followed by other Commanderies and that interest in the work of the Order in the Holy Land be thereby stimulated in the British Realm. The Ho pitaller (c. J. Tunks, M.B.E., Knight of Grace of the Order) of the Jew Zealand Commandery writes: "The attempt wa made this year to organize a collection through all centre and a circular letter was sent. The practice of holding an Annual ervice on or within the octave of t. John's Day for Association and Brigade is not yet general, but I hope it will become so and I am moving the Commandery to take some action in the matter." A cheque for £23 5s. 3d. was received, being the total of offertories on St. John's Day for the Hospital from four Centres ( ew Plymouth, Otago, \Vanganui, and Auckland), h\'o Branches (Gisbourne and Hamilton), one Division (Whangarie), and one individual. The money arrived too late for thi year's accounts but will appear in next year's receipts. The Committee desires to express to the Hon. Treasurer in Jeru alem, Lady Watson, for the fourteenth year in succession, its sincere appreciation of her indefatigable work in collecting financial upport for its work in the Holy Land and not merely for this alone; a de p debt is al 0 owed to her for her actual service in the Hospital itself, where unfailingly, week by week, she works with her hands in the Linen Room. The total amount she remitted home was £193, an additional £7 heing retained by her for almonry purposes in Jerusalem. She is to be heartily congratulated on being responsible for so large a sum in these diffi cult time. To Mr. Horne Stevenson, the Hon. ecretary for cotland, the Committee extends once again its thanks for his work in collecting from his friends funds for the support of the work of the Order in it H ospital in .T erusalem. The Great Priory of England and Wales has sent a cheqne for £226 collected as a result of a special appeal to all subordinate Preceptories " to be placed to the credit of the Hospital at J rusalem to be used in whatever way it is considered it will be of most benefit". The Committee has expressed its most grateful thanks to the Great Priory for its continued support. Lady Plender, Officer of the Order, has earned the thanks of the CommIttee by her generous gift of £105. Lady Cassillis, Dame of Justice of the Order, has presented a Fincham slit ophthalmo-retinoscope, with resistance, in memory of her mother, Lady MacTaggart-Stewart of Ardwell. It was after a visit to the Hospital over which she had been shown by the Warden that she offered her gift to him for the benefit of the patients. The two circular painted-glass windows presented by Mrs. Eli e Stanley Flagg, of Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, have been placed in position and are much admired. To the Ladies' Linen Guild the Committee tenders sincere thanks for the gift of six more white metal bedside lockers and much else of a more domestic character.

The scheme for the as ist~nce of ~r t aid cla es con i ting xclusively ?f unemp~oyed persons, which ,vas mtroduced in January, lH33, is ~till lr;. operatIOn, but the number of classe held fell from 32 in the fIr t nme months to 2~ during the la t twelve months.

DELEGATION TO CA TADA. Under the authority of H.R.H. The Grand Prior and the ChapterGeneral of the Order, a Delegation consisting of Sir. John Prescott Hewett, G.C.S.L, K.B.E., C.LE., Bailiff of Egle, and Mrs. Lorna Ethel Atkinson (a Dame of Justice and the da~ghter of ~ir John Hew~tt) sailed for Canada on 21st October, and dIscussed wIth the Canadian Branch of the As ociation the future development of the work of the Order in the Dominion. The Delegation was received with great hospitality and enthusiasm t.hroughout the Dominion, and in the course of a strenuous tour a great deal of very valuable work was accomplished. A Commandery for Canada has b en approved by the Order as from 24th June, 1934, and the Commandery Chapter took over the control of the anadian Branch of the Association on that date. CENTRES OVERSEAS. The Centres in Australia continue to make good progress, and headquarters was favoured with visits from the Chairman of the Torth Ta. mania Centre, Dr. Gregory Sprott, and the South T asmania Centre, Dr. J. Ramsay, whose accounts of both these Centres show that they are extending their activities. British Gllialla again shows a large increase in the number of classes held, especially in the Police, and eHorts have been made to organize cla es in outlying parts of the colony. The honorary secretary of the ntr , 1\1r. H. Edwards, during a short visit to London, gave a satisfactory account of the progress of the Centre. Mention ha alread T b en made of the Canadian Branch, now under the guidance of the Commandery of the Order in Canada . The report of the Director will be found at page 70. It i sati factory to be abl to report that the Gibraltar Centre has been resuscitated, largely through the in trumentality of H.E. The Governor, General ir Charles Harington. The Colonial Secretary, Colonel A. E . Beattie, ha again consented to act as President and Chairman of the Centre, while Captain D. . Gowing, Assistant Chief of Police, has accepted office a Honorary ecretary. Headquarter had the b nefit of a number of me tings with Mr. Alfred Morri, hairman of the Hong Kong Centre, who was home for a short period. It is evident that v ry valuable work, of which Mr. :Morris is the inspiration and the driving power, is being done in Hong Kong. Mention i made elsewhere of the fine h eadquarters building which i in process of erection, and a number of new clinics and dispensaries ha,'e been establi hed in the ew Territories. ir David Petrie, who has done uch valuable work for the Order in India since his appointment as Chairman of the Indian Branch, paid a number of visits to St . John's Gate during his stay in England, and the discussions with him have been most helpful. The Indian Branch continues to do much valuable work in difficult circumstances, and special mention must be made of the relief afforded by it and by members of the Brigade on the occasion of the disastrous earthquake at Bihar and Orissa in January, 1934.

and have received much encouragement from H. E. Lord Bledisloe :vho throughout his term of office has done a great deal to further th~ mte:-ests of t~e Order in the Dominions. At his farewell inspection at Chnstchurch m August the Governor-General commended the St. John A mbulance R.ev ~e1.eJ, originated by the Canterbury and West Coast Centre of the ASsoCI~tIOn, ~nd now the. official Journal of the Commandery in New.Zealand, and m the follO\vmg month Lord Bledisloe performed the openmg ~eremony of the new wing of the Auckland Centre's headquarters m Rutland Street.

John s Gate had the pleasure of meeting Sir Charles and Lady SmIth, who have been of great as istance to the Natal entre and Colonel D. Horwich, D.D.M.S., Transvaal Command, Union Ddfence Forces. The work of the Association in Southern Africa continues to pr.ogress under the Commandery, and the Report of the Commandery Drrector of Ambulance will be found at page 67. CE:t\TRE HEADQUARTERS.

The Committee is indebted to Dr. M. N. Goodman, who has very kindly undertaken the revision of the textbook Domestic and Personal Hygiene by the late Dr. Thresh. Dr. Goodman has already begun the arduous task. Dr. N.

The original publication has proved of the greatest value to all those interested in our work, and particularly to headquarters. POLICE KIOSKS. During the year first aid outfits have been placed in Police Kiosks in Bromley (21), Southend (11), Hornsey (14), East Dulwich (8), Lewi ham (5), East Ham (14), Ilford (11), West Ham (9), and Plaistow (6). There are therefore now situated in various parts of London, including those previously issued, some 250 outfits, and they have been of considerable service. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. No new Depots have been established in London during the year, but those already in existence continue to meet the needs of the sick poor. ST. JOHN BLAZER. A black blazer with the badge of the Order surrounded by a wreath of St. John's Wort on the pocket has been sanctioned by the ChapterGeneral of the Order, and may be worn by members of the Order, of the Association, and of the Brigade.

Sir Josiah Stamp said he regarded it as an honour to be a ked to pres.ent the prizes at such an important competition. \Vhen it was reali~ed t~at t?ere were over 25,000 railwaymen who had high ambulance quahfi~atlOns It ~howed what a remarkable movement it was throughout the railway serVIce. He was pleased to see the kindly pirit and good sportsmanship that existed between ambulance men. Ire hacl been interested to watch this fine competition, which had b 'en conclucted in the best traditions of British sportsmanship. lIe congratulated the Great .Western ~ailway on winning the Competition, and was sorry th.at SIr J am~s Milne was not well enough to be present to witne 1.11 tnumph of hIS team. This was not an occa ion on which to discu s accider:ts on railways. The railways had a remarkable record, 0 far as accl.dents were concerned. In a recent year only four pa engers were killed, but with the rapidity of movement there was bouncl to be a considerable number of accidents among the staff, and the knowledge that t~ough the ambul~nce ~ovement there were experienced men to deal WIth almost any sltuatlOn was regarded by the public and t.he staff as of very great .im~ortance. They regarded it as one of the greatest assets of therr publIc hfe. He would like to say that the railway

The prill'S were distributed by the Right Hon. Sir John Gilmour, I?~ ..' the lIume ecretary, the chair being taken by Lord Rockley, BaIlIff Grand Cruss of the Order of St . John. The Hume ecrctary said it was an honour to have been asked to associate himself with the competitions and a great 'person~l pleasure to be present. A the responsible l\Iin~ster for t~e tlme be111g f.or the ~Ietropolitan Police Forces, and assocIated as l~s office was .wIth all the other Forces throughout the country, he realIzed what an ~n:mense advantage must accrue to these Force generally by .c~mpetItlOns of this kind which eno'endered keen rivalry, but the Bntlsh method of 0 competing, was never to take offence when they dl'd. not a1ways ~o~e out on top. The marks which had been adjudicated 111 the CompetItIon had one oui.. tanding feature about them, and that '.vas that, although one team- \Vest ussex-was at the top, there was a great level of uniformity and of excellence throughout. Everyone W~10 had the pleasure of watching the Competition would agree that It had been most excellently done. He trusted that in future more an~ more Forces \voulcl compete and, moreover, that they w01~ld try to bnng fresh, men into the teams, and give the youn~ men a cnance so as to spread the keenness and interest right through the Forces.. . . The Home Secretary concluded his remarks by thanking the AssoclatlOn for providing annually such a splendid opportunity for the Police Forces of the country to meet and to demonstrate their skill in rendering first aid to the injured.

REPORT OF T H E CHAPTER-GENERAL WORK OF THE BRIGADE.

The reports from ~he Commi~ ioners throughout the country show that the work of the Bngade contmues to increase . Jt i gratifying to be able to .re1?0rt that these increasing demands have been met by the self-sacnficmg work of our members and by the formation of new Divi ions. The greatest keenness exist amongst all ranks, and I am ati fied from the reports I have receiv d that there i a steady increa e in efficiency . D~ring the ~ear a large numb r of new Headquart r have been acqUlred by Umts throughout the country. Thi has only been pos ible by the most ~trenuous efforts of local members to collect money for the purpose. SUltable accommodation is e sential if training and work is to be .carrie~ ?ut efficiently, and I am deeply grateful to the member, who, m ~ddltIon to their self-sacrificing efforts to render first aid to the publIc, have undertaken the difficult duty of collecting fund - to purchase Headquarters. During the year a number of important function where bi'" crowd assembled have. been ~ttended by our member and t.he large numb r of cases dealt 'wlth dllTmg these occa ions is evidence of the value of the services which our members performed. I may mention that durin" the visit of Their Majesties to Liverpool our members aH Illlcd to ove~ 1,200 cases . Many cases have beer~ broug~t to my notice of live ha\'ing been c:;an·d by t~e pro~pt and effiCIent actIOn of our m mbcrs. In the great mining and mdustnal centres the work of our mcmb r is an e~s ntia1 servicc, and many managers have expressed to me their appreciation of t.he \ alue o~ the work. ~f ?ur trained personnel, who by prompt and efTicient ilL t aId have mmnTIIzcd the effects of injuries received. I?uring the year th~ enormous nUlTIber of 524,237 report.ed case' of accId~nt and sudden Illness were treated by our member. This icertamly. a record in the histo~y of the Brigade and compares "it.ll 471, ~31 m 1933. If ~n~ proof IS necessary of the gr at \'alu to the public of the self-sacnficmg work of the Brigade they are furnished by the above figures. The attendance at civil hospitals, clinics, and welfare centre underta~(en by members of the Nursing Divisions shows a very large incr a e ~hIS year. There were 37,662 such attendances compared with 27,612 m 1933. T~e ,:,aluable work car~ied out by the Nursing Di\'i ions is ~ully ~ealt WIth m the comprehensIve report of the Lady uperintendcntm-ChIef,. for whose whole-hearted support and devotion to duty I am ~eatly . mdebted. I m~st again thank hcr for the large numb r of ~nspec~IOn~ .she has carned out and the intense interest he has taken m ~aI~tal1:mg the efficiency of the ursing Divisions. Her experiment of .mstItutmg summer camps for Ambulance Sisters has been most s~tIsfactory and will certainly increase efficiency. H er personal contact WIth so many provincial Units has been most valuable. ROAD SERVICE .

injuries when accidents occur on .the road ~emands a hi~h standard of skill on the part of those rendenng first ald. I am satlsfied 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 duty involves the sacrifi~e of leisure hours, as it takes place during the week-ends and Bank HolIdays of the summer months. No fewer than 18,939 road accidents were treated by the Brigade personnel in 1934 compared with 17,041 in 1933. Throughout the country there are 198 Roadside Huts and 984 First Aid Posts. This compares with 1("")6 Huts and 965 P osts in 1933. MOTOR AMBULANCE TRAKSPORT.

The Brigade is fulfilling a national need in the prOVISIOn and maintenance of :l\1otor Ambulances. The respon ibility and hard work entailed in this service is borne by the Officers of the Units concerned and the prompt and efficient manner in which calls are responded to reflect the greatest credit upon these officers and the members who act as drivers and attendants. It i gratifying to note that in a large number of towns the entire ambulance service of the town has been entrusted by the municipal authorities to the Brigade. 293 motor ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions, compared \vith 2 -2 in 1933 . These Ambulances carried 112,342 compared with 111,9 1R patients in 1933. The reported mileage is 1,30-1,619 compared with 1,040,287 in 1933. PROTECTIO.

OF THE CIVIL POP LATIO.

AGAINST GAS ATTACKS .

Further progress has been made during the year in training the personnel of o. 1 District in this subject, but, owing to the fact that no official scheme has so far been issued, this side of our work has been considerably held up. FIRST AID L - CO~NECTION vnTH AVI ATION .

During the year a new type of Divi:;,ion was formed at Ip V\rl.ch to deal primarily "vith casualtie the result of aeroplane accidents; these divisions are called" Air Duties Divisions" . This type of Division will extend our work into a new sphere of action . I hope that further units of this type will be formed in the larger aerodromes. At the request of the Director of Civil Aviation, the Brigade, in conjunction with the British R ed Cross Society, has undertaken the responsibility of training in first aid a proportion of the staff in all civil aerodromes, and also inspecting their first aid equipment, thus further extending our responsibilities. INSPECTIONS.

The follO\ving inspections have been carried out during the year :By the Chancellor-No. 1 (Prince of Wales's) District. By the Secretary-General- South-East Lancashire Units. By Sir Alf~ed Bingley-Surrey and Sussex Units at Brighton. By the ChIef Commissioner-Birmingham Corps; No.5 District at Leeds; Welsh Units; and Mid and South Bucks Units.

public duty. Among the outstandi~g examples of public duty performed during the year I would mentlOn the work. done by the No .. 2 District of India on the occasion of the great Indlan earthquake m January, 1034. The Calcutta Di trict dispatched to t~e striken area a self-contained unit which was able to erect a fully eqmpped temporary hospital and to staff it with nurs~s . and orderlies. ~uch I?edical and relief work was accomplished and It IS a matter for sahsfactlOn that the Chapt.er-General of the Order has recognized the good. wo~k performed by the grant.ing of a Vote of T hanks on Vellum to the Dlstnct conce~ned . In the Hong Kong District where the splendid work of the Bngade Overseas in time of stre s has become a tradition there was again a call for imm diate action on a large scale when a gasometer, situated in a crowded part. of the Colony, exploded and set fire to the surrou?di!lg streets. Practically the whole of the Brigade strength of the Dlstnct was mobilized for (luty in a very short time and the work of rescue and treat.ment went on alj day. At one time the rush of casualties was so great as to neces itate t.he forming of a temporary hospit.al in a nearby hotel. In .\ustralia and New ZeaJand the visit of H.R.H . The Duke of Gloucester has called for many hours of duty from the members of the Brigade O,'ersea and at all places the extra duties thus required were efficiently carried out and earned the highest praise.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

I am pleased to be ahle to report that the Film of the Ord r has now been shown throughout South Australia, New South \Vales, and Tasmania. \Vith regard to the work in each Dominion :AUSTRALIA.

In the Xew SOllth TVales District the work continues to be maintained at a very high standard. Three new Ambulance and two new Nursing Divisions have been added to the strength during the year and the general expan ion of the work in this District has neces itated larger premises for the Di trict Headquarter. On the occasion of the vi it of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester to ydney the Brigade was on duty at every function during the four days of the visit and in that period attended to 3,507 casualties. On the day of the arrival of Hi loyal Highness 634 member of the District w re on duty along the rout. of the proce . ion. l\Iany letters of appreciation have been recei\'cd by the District Headquarter in which the 'work of the Brigade during the Royal Vi it was highly commended. In the South A 11stralia District the re-organization by th Commi sion'r has been completed and the position consolidat d during the y ar. There has been much public duty performed and in some ascs the loca l authorities have co-operated with the Brigade in the building anu staffing of Beach Fir t Aid Huts. It i plea ing to record that it has been possible to organize competitions in Fir t Aid and H ome Tursing during the year. It is proposed to hold these competition annually and by this means to encourage the Di\'i ions to maintain a hiah standard of efficiency and promote a healthy rivalry bet. ween them. The vi~it of H.R.H. The Duke of Glouce ter call d for many hours of c.\.t.ra dut y and on the occasion of a demonstration by choolcliildren at. t.he .\c1claid Oval members of the Brigade were on duty from 10 a.m. to G p.m. and in the course of the day treated 205 cases. In the T11 estern Australia District two new Divi ions have been formed in the goldfields area. One of the outstanding events of the year was th visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester to Perth who on his arrival \Va presented with an Address of \Velcome from the \Ye t rn Au tralia Centre of the Association and District of the Brigade. Later IIi Royal Highness invested District Surgeon J. J. Holland \vith the insignia of a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John. Dr. Holland had the further distinction of being appointed medical attendant to His H.oyal Highness during the latter's stay in Western Australia. .I.

CA~ADA.

In Canada the year has been noteworthy for the establishm nt of the Commandery of the Order and the consequent alterations in the Headquarters and Control of the Brigade Over eas within the Dominion. The Headquarters of the Brigade are now at Ottawa at the Commandery Headquarters, and Colonel J. Clarke, the Director of Ambulance in the Commandery, is also Commandery Commissioner for the Brigade. I received with very real regret the resignation of Major-General Sir Henry Mill Pellatt as Chief Commissioner for Canada. He ha served the Brigade Overseas since the year 1912 and I should like to express my gratitude to him for the keen and active interest he has always taken in the work of the Brigade Overseas in Canada.

Cont.

CEYLON.

The members of the Ceylon Police Corp~ of the ~rigade Overseas have again been instrumental in saving many lives dunng the year by reason of their knowledge of first aid. Many of the cases treated call for the exhibition of much resource on the part of members as they often oc~ur in places far removed from the police stations and wher~ no medlcal help is available. The Corps was inspected in October by Hls Excellency the Governor who congratulated the Parade on the keenness and efficiency shown. HONG KONG.

I am glad to report that the Hong ~ong District has again maintai?-ed its trength and efficiency and has dur~ng ~he year responded so splendIdly to the calls made upon its resources 111 tImes of u~ger:cy .and ~hsaster. The increasing activities of the Hong Kong DIstnct IS eVIdenced by the fact that during the year the fifth motor a~bulance has been put int.o service. The ambulance is actually the SIxth pur~hased by. t~e District, one having previously been presente~ t? .the medlcal authontIes in Shanghai at tIle conclusion ~f the actI:n-tIes of the Hong Kong contingent which did service t.here 111 the fight111g of 1933. INDIA.

I have already referred in this report to the magr:ificent work performed on the occa ion of the great Indian Earthquake dlsaster. Among other matters of interest .1 am glad. ~o be able to report that it was pos ible to hold the All-Indla CompetItIOns; they were. held. at Calcutta from 11th to 17th January. It is also a matter for satIsfactIOn that a V.A.D. Scheme has been sanctioned for India and that its de~ach ments are to be recruited from the ursing Divisions of the Bngade Overseas. NEW ZEALA D.

In this Dominion 19 new adult Divisions and 11 new Cadet Divisions were formed during the year and this continued increase is a rr:at~er for congratulation and reflects great credit on all members wlth111 the Dominion. During the year a new wing of the Auckland Headquarters was opened by Lord Bledisloe and this up-to-date building should be of the greatest help in the work of the District . Another iI:teresting feature of the y~ar has been the adoption by the Commandery 111 New Zealand of the Chnstchurch St. J ohn A mbulance Review as the official organ of the Commandery. There is no doubt that this will be a great benefit to all sections of the work in New Zealand and will help to link together the various Divisions of the Brigade scattered throughout the Dominion. KENYA, UGA DA, A D ZANZIBAR.

The work of the Police Divisions in Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar continues to increase and very valuable first aid work has been carried out by members of these Divisions often in very difficult and trying circumstances. I am pleased to be able to report the keen interest among the members in attempting to spread a knowledge of First Aid

among the native population not only to the recruits to their own Forces but by every other means possible. A point of interest is the arrangement by which Fir t id equipment i now kept at the aerodrome at Zanzibar for immediate u e in emergencies and a stretcher party from the Divi ion is on duty on occa ions which call for their pre ence. SOUTH AFRICA. The v,rork of the Brigade Overseas ,~1.thin the Commandery in Southern Africa continues to be maintained with marked success . During the year a new District of the Brigade has been formed compri ing part of the Cape Province District and known as the Griqualand \-rest District \",1.th Headquarters at Kimberley. CO. 'CLUSIOK. I very much regret to have to record the death on 27th October, H)3 el, of Major-General Sir Richard Havelock Charles, Chief omml.SlOner of the Brigade Overseas during the period 1920-1030. ,ir Havelock Charles did much valuable service for the Brigade OYerseas during his period of office which covered a very difficult period in the hi '- tory of all voluntary Qrganizations such as ours. I know that many Officer. and Members of the Brigade OYersea will f cl a Yen' real selhe of 10.. at his pas ing. Resolutions of regret, indicati\'e of the est em in \\hich he was held, have been received from the Brigade Over ea. within the Empire of India where Sir Havelock Charles sp nt many y ars of his life. In conclusion I would e. press my thanks to :JIr.. Lane lut Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent-in- hief, for her lo\ c:llt \, ancl devotion to the interests of the Nur ing Division during the year, and to my Staff Officer, Captain A. N.

To all Officers and Members of the Brigade Over eas I yery gladly pay tribute because of their unswerving loyalty and s If- acrillcing service which have once again been so evident in the year' work under review. I tender to them my heartiest congratulations on the high standard of the work performed and my best thanks for the many duties 0 \\1.11ingly undertaken. SUBORDINATE

The follov.ring is extracted from the Report of the Principal ecretary and Commissioner for \Vales :The report which I have the honour to submit for the calendar year 1934 is concerned v.rith a period of time during which the long shadows of unemployment have continued to darken vast areas of South \Vales . and the follov.ring reference to the salient features of the work carried out under t~e various Departments of the Priory provides further proof of the capaclty of the Order of St. John to survive the test of economic disturbance and stress.

ASSOCIATION DEPARTMENT. My Report for 1933 referred to the Priory's pro.ud boa~t of ~n .unbro~ en series of annual increases in the number of awards Issued Sll1ce Its mceptlOn. Therefore the light decrease in the final total shown in the comparative table below calls for some explanation. The number of students who attended a course of instruction was 18,032, or 148 less than in 1933 ; but at the same time, the vital figures-as one may fairly regard the Senior cour e as compared with the Preliminary without minimizing the importance of the latter-show an increase of 260 First Aid and 57 Home ur. ing tudents, while a drop of 514 junior students more .than accounts for the ultimate decrease. In the figures for awards gamed, a imilar falling off in juniors is to be observed, 2,510 Preliminary ertificates having been i sned, as compared with 2,914 in 1933. Although the total number of uccessful examinees, viz. 16,183, is 206 short of the 1D33 fignre, thc senior a\:vards gained were 198 ahove the previous year's totaL TUDENTS WIIO A TTE~DED A COURSE OF INSTRU CTION BUT DID NOT NECESSARILY SIT FOR EXAlIII~ATIO~.

The most obviou reason for the junior decline i the arrangement notified to Brigade Units towards the end of the year whereby Cadets under 16 years of age can be examined for efficiency by specially deputed Brigade Officer without incurring any expense as no award is issued; and about 110 Cadets 'were re-examined in this manner. Another indirect cause, however, is the fact that last year marked the conclusion of the Pilgrim Tru t Grant follmTIng a strenuous campaign covering a period of three years to enrol and equip junior Units by means of a two-thirds grant towards textbooks, examination expenses, and equipment. \Vhen this came to an end, early in the year, there was a natural tendency on the part of Brigade Divi ions to curtail further expenditure on Cadet Units. Of the 903 Classes examined or re-examined during the year, 76 were held under the Glamorgan County Council, which Authority not only provides accommodation, lecturer's fee, and examination expenses, but grants four years' subsequent awards, viz. Certificate, Voucher, Medallion, and Label. Great Western Railway Classes in Wales were attended by 3,127 student,

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

of whom 2,849 qualified for awards as compared with 3,045 and 2,853 re pectively for 1933. The number of students in London Midland and Scotti h Railway CIa ses was 685-38 more than the previous year, the awards gained being 616 as against 586. Full advantag has been taken of the facilities provided by the Priory for the promotion of Ambulance lasses among unemployed clubs and centres, for which purpo e a further grant was made from Priory funds. Comparatively new spheres of activity in Association work are special classes for coal trimmers, started at several of the South \i\Tales ports, and enthusia tic classes of road passenger transport workers, which are being formed in increasing numbers. BRIGADE STRENGTH. After deducting the member hip of ix Ambulanc , fiy ur ing, and two Cadet Ambulance Divi ions which haye been di banded as inactive, the strength of the Brigade in \Vales at the 31 t December shows an increase of 828 on 1933. satisfactory feature is the formation of eight new Nursil1g Divi ions, as there icon iderable room for e-xpan ion in this direction. A questionnaire circulated recently among Ambulance Divisions in the" Special Areas" elicited the fact that there are definite openings for the immediate establi hment of fifteen ur ing Units provided financial assi tance were forthcoming towards their quipment. The noteworthy increase in Cadet membership prompt me to add a final word of gratitude and appreciation for the grant of £3,000 from the Pilgrim Trust, the last instalment of which is reflected in i.he pa t a r '. figures. The effect of this grant cannot be summed up compl telY.111 figures-encouraging as it may be t.o record an increase of 69 Cadet JUt , and 2,185 personnel during the period 1931 to 193 1. It was a clarion call for a special endeavour on the part of the senior Divi ions who were challenged to earn grant by putting up one-third of the amount r quir d ; and the response was wholly worthy of the t . J ohn spirit. It is hoped that a similar measure of assistance may be forthcoming from another source during 1935 to as ist the depleted fund and weakened resourc s of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions in the "Special r as" in South vVales. The difficult conditions under which the Brigade i working in the latter di tricts is empha ized by a summary prepared recently which shows that out of the total membership of 4,02 , 1,29<1 are unemployed, while 1,458 are without uniform and only 630 are in possession of greatcoats .

Ov;ing to the difficulty of obi.aining properly compiled returns, it. is not possible to give complete figures for more than 213 of the 293 semor Divi ions in \Vales; but despite this deficiency of reports the 47,785 recorded ca es i.reai.ecl is 14,9G8 more than the figure for 1933.

Generous assi tance i being given by a number of colliery companies in placing suitably adapted disused colliery premises at the di posal of Divisions and sometimes providing in addition free lighting and heating. In two such cases grants of furniture have been made by the Joint Committee of Monmouthshire and South Wales of the Mil1ers' Welfare. Two Divisions in the Neath Sub-District are benefitting by the welcome gift of Mr. D. M.

The chief item of importance under this heading is a reference to the second visit to \Vale of the hief Commis ioner, Iajor-Gencral Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., c.?I.G ., C.V.O., D.S.O., to in pect a paradc of ov r 3,000 members of the nit in the Glamorgan County Centrc, which wa held in the grounds of Margam Ca~ tle at the invitation of Captain and ~Irs.

Competitions continue to be the most cffective source of cncouragement to the Brigade and all ambulance work rs, a fact \"'hich is strikingly illustrated by the decision of the Priory to add to its aln.;ady heavy programme of annual competitions 1y organizing a \Velsh 1 ational Ambulance Contest for road transport workers. Representatives of public and private passenger transport undertakings met at Priory House towards the end of the year and adapted rules and r .gulations to this purpose. There is little or no difficulty in obtaining trophies for annual competition, nine new ones presented during 1934 bringing the total number of cups and shields vested in the Priory to 108, valued at £2,289 3s. all of which are insured by the Priory.

Cant.

Public interest in the Final Competitions for the Brigade in \.vales has so increas d that the large number of spectators who crowded into the vestibule of the Law Courts on the 14th April prompted a decision to hold the contests in future in the City Hall. The winners proved to be the Newport (Mon.) Ambulance and Llanelly Nursing Teams, which had the honour of representing Wales in the Brigade Finals in London. The Welsh Railway Competition was held in the City Hall, and the Barry Loco. Team won the trophy for the Great Western Railway. MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The service was extended in 1934 by the opening of a new Station at Trim aron, Carmarthenshire, to supplement the Tumble Car in serving local collieries and workmen subscribing to the scheme. This brings the number of tations to 17, operated by 21 cars; and the total number of cases and mileage show an increase of 2,413 and 38,554~ respectively on 1933. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. \Vhjle two Depots have ceased to function, viz, Llanharan and Penallta, two new ones were opened during the course of the year at Bedlinog, in the l\[ rthyr Centre and at Clydach in Brecknockshire. The number in operation therefore remains stationary at 35. STORES DEPARTMEXT. Four thou and six hundred and fourteen copies of Publications were old during the year, which i an increase of 88 on the previous year. Fir 't Aid cquipment is offer d at the lowest possible terms; and although competition in ambulance material is extremely keen several of the large colliery combin _ are now patronizing the department. In the matter of uniform, however, the Brigade has been practically as isted both by a gradual reduction of prices and the offer of extended payment terms. OBIT ARY. The names of thr e Executive Officers appear in the list of the year' addition to the Roll of decea ed members, which are recorded with regret, viz two Knights of Justice and fr. Enoch Morrell, an Officer, who during a comparatively short tenure of office as Director of Ambulance rendered valuable ervice.

An almo t invariable custom was broken by a decision on the part of Council to hold the Annual Meetings on a day as near as possible to St, John's Day, inst ad of observing St. David's Day-a change which brings our procedure into greater harmony with that of the Grand Priory . To conclude this rcport, I would add a grateful word of thanks to the ~ub-Prior, The Earl of Plymouth, P,C., whose wise guidance has never failed to be a source of encouragement. Thanks are due also to the Executi"e Officer, m embers of committees, Centre Offi cers, and m embers of th m edical profession, whose willingness to lecture and examine has inspired pn blic confidence in the voluntary services by which the Brigade pcr onn 1 is ontributing in no small measure to public welfare. The Priory belic,'e that it has its own peculiar contribution to make to the buildfng up of a va t beneficent Ambulance organization in keeping ,vith the highest traditions of the Order, and is concentrating all the cnergie freely given by public-minded men and women towards the practical expre sion of this conviction .

The re ponse to the appeal for contributions toward an Archives and Library at Commandery H eadquarters has been good, and Commandery Chapter expre es its appreciation and thanks for a number of gifts. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION. The summary of " Awards issued through Centres" details a total of ~,432 aw~rds issued by the respective Centres during the year under reVIew- an mcrease of 470 over the previous year. Traces of the recent financial depression are still evident-notably on the S.A. Railways- but a few Centres show a substantial advance.

COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Junior ~lasses .have made steady progress; classes in Afrikaans are gradually mcreasmg, and the work, generally, is making very satisfactory progress. Delegate were appointed to attend Conferences on Rural Nursing ~alle~ by Her Excellenc~ The Countess of Clarendon, and every effort ~ ~emg made to cope WIth the need for in truction in Home Nursing mdicated at these Conferences. The progress :a:-ade in the activities of the Ambulance D epartment reflects great credit on all concerned. The Annual Report of the Director ?f Ambulance shows a considerable increase in the number of awards Issued .b~ the, Association throughout t~e year, while the ommandery CO~IDIssIOner s Repor~ sho~s th<:tt Bngade m embers are maintaining a hIgh standard of effiCIency m theIr voluntary service to the public. The Commandery Chapter records its deep appreciation and thanks to all ranks of the Association and Brigade for the excellent ervices they have so ably and willingly rendered during the pa t year. The Command~ry Chapter expre ses its cordial appreciation and thanks to the Umon Government for the valuable a istance it extend to the Or?er through the .Departments of Public Health and D fenc , ?-nd espe.Clally to Colonel SIr Edward Thornton, h.B.E., for hi continued mterest m our activities. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

Annual Report of the Commandery Commi ioner for the Year endt.;d 31st December, 1934. The J?rig<:tde results for the year show that a sati factorv tandard was mamtamed an? a large amount ?f Public Duty was rendered by members of ~he Bngade. On the arnval of H.R.H. Prince Georae in Cape Town m February, there were over 100 member on duty and many cases were attended in the streets. The S.A. Railways and Harbours Di trict, after a period of retrenchment , has settled down to more normal conditions. The S.A. Police have taken up Ambulance work seriou, lv and all new. constables, whilst training at the ~retori?- Headquart r' Depot, contmue to go through a course of FIr t AId and qualify for the St. John Certificate. With the practical support of the Commis ioner of Police, the men at ~he large centres have formed Divisions of the Brigade and turned up m large numbers at the various inspections. . There ~re several Divisions of. men in the municipal fire brigades m the Uruo~-the. :a:-0.st notable bemg the Durban Fire Brigade Divi ion. The Nursm~ DIVISIOns throughout. tl:e Union are strong in number, ke~:r:, and e~Clent. A great deal of thIS IS due to the enthusia m and fine splnt of therr Officers. . Several new Cadet .Divisions ha,:,e been formed, and, except in two mstances, they have mcreased therr membership and were very smart on parade. . The Town Ambulance. Divisions in some instances are finding it dIfficu~t to ke~p. up thelr numbers owing to various cau es, mostly financIal, but It IS to be hoped that this will be rectifi d. The usual J

Ambulance Competitions were held during the year and almost every Division in the country took part in the Preliminary Competitions. The Final Competitions for the" Selborne and" Hewat Shields and the" Florence Thompson Rose-Bowl were held in Durban and teams from all the Provinces of the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia competed. The standard was declared by the judges to be very high. I inspected the Brigade Divisions in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage, East London, Queenstown, Durban, Maritzburg, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and Worcester. At all these inspections a representative of the Director of Medical Services, S.A. Defence Force, was present. Ir. Alpheus \iVilliams (Knight of Justice), Director of Ambulance, inspected the various Divi ions in the Transvaal and was very pleased with the results of his inspection. At the Johannesburg inspection over 300 m embers paraded and gave a very impressive display. I must thank Lieut.-Colonel G. E. Peacock, Commissioner for the Transvaal, for the great interest he has always taken in the Brigade, and everyone will congratulate him on his well-deserved promotion to the rank of Commissioner. The Inspections of the outlying Divisions of the S.A. Railways and Harbours Di trict were carried out by the respective Assistant Commi sioner of the Railway District. In August I in pected the Rhodesia Railways Units at Salisbury, Umtali, Bulawayo, Livingstone, and Broken Hill. The men were all "ery keen and well supported by the Railway Administration. The :\ur ing Divi ions at Bulawayo and Salisbury show a great promise. Griqualand \Ve t has now been made a District, including Kimberley, with Mr. A. A. Coaton as As istant Commissioner (Acting) and now that the De Beers line is gradually starting operations we will hope that the famous De Beers Ambulance Corps will re-start also. The organization, equipment, and the old Officers are all there. lIajor Stanley Copley, Iayor of Durban, was appointed Assistant Commi sioner in the place of Major H. Tener Galbraith, who resigned. The Members of the Brigade in Durban are most fortunate in the possession of a fine Ambulance Hall and Offices built for them by the Municipality of Durban. This should be a great encouragement to the 5t. John Ambulance Brigade in Durban and should induce young members to join the Brigade. The movement amongst the non-European peoples is slowly advancing. In Cape Town there are six Divisions-the Ambulance and Nursing Sections each having 1 Moslem and 2 Coloured Divisions. They are very keen on their drills and of smart appearance, and turn out on Public Duty among t their people, at their sports meetings, etc. In conclusion, I would thank all ranks of the Brigade for their services rendered during the year.

THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-third Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers . His Royal Highness the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint as members of the Committee for the remaining portion of the three-year period ending on St.John's Eve, 1936, The Lord Moynihan, R . C . M.G., C.B . , and Sir Edward Knapp-Fi her. It is with regret that the loss by death of the following members of the Committee during 1934 has to be recorded -Major-General ir R . Havelock Charles, Captain A. C. Seton Christopher and Mr. Henry Engleheart. Sir Havelock Charles had served on the Committee since 1921 and wa the senior medical member, in which capacity he was most useful in presiding at meetings of the Medical Sub-Committee for the choice of new members for the Hospital Staff in Jerusalem . Captain Chri -topher had been a member since 1914 and rarely missed a meeting of Committee. Last spdng he paid a visit to the Hospital, taking out with him a signed portrait of Her Majesty the Queen to be hung in the Out-patient Hall next to that of His Majesty the King, and brought back an encouraging report of all he had seen there. Mr. Henry Engleheart was appointed for the first time in 1933. His sudden death has deprived the Committee of a colleague who was deeply interested in the work of the Order in the Holy Land. The number of patients dealt with by the staff shows a shrinkage in respect of In-Patients and operations compared with 1933. This may be attributed to staff changes and the fact that during the month of May only two surgeons were available.. The increase, however, in total consultations may be accounted for by the addition of a fourth surgeon for the second half of the year.. The staff of the Hospital shows a change in the Registrarship-Dr.. Muriel Hamilton left in April to get married and is succeeded by Winifred M. Clement Ryan, M.R.C.S., L..R.C . P. Chapter-General sanctioned the appointment of a fourth surgeon (for a term of two years) in order to free the Warden for more regular quarterly inspections of the ten Government Ophthalmic Clinics for which the Order has accepted responsibility. To fill this post Gwendoline M. Langham-Hobart, M.B., B.S. (Durham), has been selected. Both these officers took up their duties in Jerusalem in June. Sister Ellis on expiry of her term of contract returned home and Sister M. C. Rippin has been appointed to succeed her. Your Committee has heard with regret of the death of Mrs . Ogilvie, wife of the first surgeon of the Hospital. She accompanied her husband when he went out to open the Hospital in 1882. Dr. Ogilvie writ es" When we arrived the house was entirely empty and we had to borrow

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

everything we required from Me sr . Cook until furniture was ent out to us about a year afterwards. Mr. Ogilvie never grumbled at the misery we had to put up with." St. John's Day was observed by a pecial Service in t. George' ~ Cathedral. The Hospital taft and Members of the Order in J eru alem were present by invitation of the Bishop, who i ex-o.[ficio a Chaplain and Sub-Prelate of the Order. Lord Lytton, who vi ited the Hospital early in the year, submitted a valuable memorandum to the Committee on his return. He recommended that, if possible, the property adjoining \Vatson House hould be purchased for the purpose of hou ing the school for Arab girls in connection with the Warden's cheme for dealing with the problem of (( Blindness in Palestine", to which reference has been made in the la t two Reports. He approved the site and the layout of the buildings which were ~lready serving the purpo e of a school. The freehold was eventually acqUIred by Chapter-General for a sum of £1,500 from the owner, the Church 1Ii ion to the Jews. Owing to a variety of causes over which your ommittee had no control, the completion of the purchase entitling to entry did not take place till October, when a further sum of £5! was incurred by fe ' in the Land Registry Office in Jerusalem. The Order HOW poss s'es in the Old City a valuable, and practically i land, ite facing, acro ' s David Street, the Muristan and the Church of the H oly epulchre, with a view eastwards to the Mount of Olives and the \Yar Cemet ry over the flatroofed houses running down towards St. tephen's Gate. Your Committee has taken a step forward in the matter of the building of a South Block primarily for paying patients but al 0 to upplyoth er much needed accommodation. A small Sub-Committee ha been appointed to examine the whole question of cost of building and equipment and subsequent maintenance and it was given power to appOillt an archil ct. The Sub-Committee consi ts of Lord Lytton, Lord Plender, ir Percival Hartley, and Mr. Hornby Steer. Mr. Percival \Yinter, A.R.I.B."\., P ... S.I., Assistant Architect to the Palestine Government, ha been invit d to submit sketch plan and rough estimate of co t. He ha accept d the proposal and the Sub-Committee is waiting to hear further from hin1. ieanwhile, the Report of the "Varden for 1933 how that the need for such an extension seems to be growing. (( Among t the ca examined were-R.A.F. and Army Personnel 84; Government official ' and employees 133; inmates of H.M. Prison 38; British Police 22; Briti h and American nationals 148; monks and nuns (European) 128. There were also 80 medical reports sent to various Department of Health Offices." These figures are higher than those of 1932. It is, however, of interest to know that in the case of Medical Reports an arrangement has now been come to with the D.P.H. to pay for these, and the Hospital receives payment also for officers and soldiers of the Garrison who attend for treatment, if sent by their M.O. The number of Government Ophthalmic Clinics for which the Order is responsible remains unaltered. The nurses who are attached to these Clinics have all had a four months' preliminary training in the Hospital, where they obtain a Certificate and are allowed by the Director of the Department of Health the privilege of wearing on their left arm, when on duty, a brassard of black cloth with the hadge of the Order in white

metal. They return yearly for Refresher Courses lasting one month. The Hospital also, with the idea of combating eye-trouble as early as possible, gives some ophthalmic instruction to a limited number of school nurses. The Government DOctOL are afforded facilities for attending the Hospital for clinical cour es from time to time. The School for Arab girls was opened in the Old City in the first week in December. Mi s Margaret \tVoolley, who had been appointed Hon. Lady 'uperintendent, arrived in Jerusalem towards the end of November. A great deal had to be done in the old C.M. J. building to adapt it for its new purpose, and Mrs . Strathearn put in a tremendous amount of work in supervising the alterations and making everything ready in time. . As a result of her driving power and inexhaustible energy the uperintendent found provided for her a well furnished and attractive suite of rooms, including a bath-room, and electric light has been installed, Mrs. Strathearn herself meeting the cost of installation and the necessary lamps and has further generou ly promised to pay for all current consumed during the first ession of the school. Your Committee is most grateful to her for all she has done and it has been really hard work owing to the difficulty of getting anyone to do anything during the feverish building boom from which Palestine has been suffering for everal months past. Tw Ive girls are now hou ed in the school and have begun their training: their eyes are regularly inspected and treated by members of the Ho pital taft, their training in dome tic craft is looked after by the H on. uperintendent and the Arabic-speaking housekeeper, Miss Meyer, and liberal upplie of cereal, oil, chee e, charcoal, etc., are being delivered by variou public- pirited Arab ~otable , so that the cost of maintenance hould prove negligible. The \Varden is to be heartily congratulated on having made, after disappointing delay, so promising a beginning with his experiment . He ~1as loy.al and .eager h~lper and your ~ommittee feel he is on right lines In dealmg radlcaliy WIth the ophthalmIC courge of Palestine. The Income and Expenditure Account show that the total expenditure for the twelve months ending 30th eptember was £5,655 13s. 2d., and after. taking into. con ideration the income from ubscriptions, donations and mterE' t on mvestments the nett excess of expenditure over income was £4,082 5s. 7d., compared with £4,244 2s. Gd . for the previous year, or a decrease of £161 16s. 11 d. Under expenditure, however, is contained four months' salary of the fourth surgeon and the cost of her passage out, so the fig~rcs are really better than they appear to be. . The Pn.?ry for \Vales in addition to remitting its usual annual contributIon of £2D has through the energy of the Hospitalier of Bridgend, heartily econded ?y the Se~retary ~f the Priory, been able to forward £67 4s. as. an addltI?nal Chnstmas gIft from members of the Priory and their fnen~s. ThIS amount reached tIl Hospitaller too late to appear in the publIshed acc?unts for 1933-3--1, but a list of the donors is printed at the end of thIS Report, and to all those who have contributed to this welcome result very hearty thanks are extended. Yo~r Committee is. glad to record the receipt of £30 19s. from the Hospltalier (J? Benn~e !Iewat, M.B., K.G . S.J.) of the Commanderv in outhern Afnca. ThIS IS the first occasion on which a Commandery

has remitted financial support as a corporate body, and it is worthy.of note. It is hoped that this example will be fol~owed by other Commandenes and that interest in the work of the Order m the Holy Land be thereby timulated in the Briti h Realm. The Hospitaller (C. J. Tunks, M.B.E., K.G.S.J.) ?f the New Ze~land Commandery \vrite : "The attempt was made thIS year to orgamz~ a -collection through all centres and a circular letter was sent.

When. the South.Block IS In be111g the Warden will have no difficulty in suggestmg how thIS shall be spent for the benefit . . of our " masters" the poor and sick. Lady Cassillis, D.J.S.J., has presented a Fmcham Slit Ophtha]moRetinoscope, with Resistance, in memory of her mother, Lady MacT~ggart Stewart of Ardwell. It was after a visit to the Hospital over whIch she had been shown by the Warden that she offered her gift to him for the benefit of the patients. The Hospital has now t:vo of these. lamp~, which the Warden writes are" most useful, almost mvaluable, m theIr ready adaptations". Captain P. Johnston-Saint, o .s.J., has most kindly offered an

additional instrument sterilizer, but until the Jerusalem Electric Company's main is connected to the Hospital there is not sufficient power available from the Hospital's private installation to carry more burden. The gift will materialize when the South Block is in commission. The two circular painted-glass windows presented by Mrs. Elise Stanley Flagg, of Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, have been placed in position and are much admired. One of the windows shows the Arms of the Order imposed on the eight-pointed white cross and the second depicts the Arms of Richard Creur de Lion and those of Edward Prince of Wales (afterwards Edward I), who fought in the Holy Land and was nearly assassinated in Acre 1272. It is with regret that your Committee heard of the donor's sudden death in March last. A tablet of Portland stone recording the gift has been placed in the wall of the Main Court. To the Ladies' Linen Guild the Committee tenders sincere thanks for the gift of six more white metal bedside lockers and much else of a more domestic character. For a more detailed record of the work of the Ladies' Linen Guild during the year under review reference should be made to their separate Report. on p. 24. Lady Cowley, D.G.S.J., has presented the Hospital with a mule, fully caparisoned, to replace the donkey which was past useful service and therefore had to be destroyed, and Mr. Louis Allen, o.s.J" has given a bicycle, much needed for messages, shopping and emergency duties. Your Committee is fortunate in being always able to find ready donors when occasion offers. Your Committee acknowledges with thanks the gift of books from Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. V. Perowne for the Hospital Library and would ask for further gifts of books which are always welcome for the use of the Staff. The olive h~rvest from the Upper Field came to 23,1 rotls (circa 1,400 lb.), Pressed for ~II the result was. 48 rotls and the cash value is about £7. In conclUSIOn, your CommIttee would once again thank the \Varden and his colleagues, Lady \Vatson and the Superintendent of the Arab School, the Acting Matron, the Nursing taff and all the other workers i~ the Hospital and the Arab School for their untiring zeal and devotIon to the mterests of the Hospital and the School in the Holy Land and for the profound realization of their duty to maintain at the highest level the reputation and prestige of the Order of t.

REPORT

The Warden's Report for the year 1934.

years since the Occupation. During ~he firs~ ~ight year~,{ fr.om 192~ till 1927 inclusive, a steady decrease m the mCIdence of blindness is noted; but since 1927 the process has been reversed and with the exception of a few minor fluctuations the position is now comparable to that of the earlv years of the occupation. The percentage of " {blind' both is rather le~s, but the" {blind' one" and the combined percentages are greater. This Jag in the increase of the" {blind' both is always of melancholy interest and is due to the fact that in these epidemics where the one eye is lost and the other left with fair vision the patients living in the most backward villages all too frequently later lose the remaining eye by the insidious process of secondary glaucoma. In ~ev.iewing the curve of " blindness during the past fifteen years there IS httle doubt but that the major cause is climatic. The rise in blindness since 1928 corresponds with the onset of a cycle of years with a rainfall much below the average. Dry years are associated with a.n increased severity in the seasonal epidemics of acute conjunctivitis, by far the commonest cause of this blindness. As it is probable that the dry cycle is giving way to more normal rainy seasons it is likely that a slow but steady decrease in the blindness rate will follow. The following table shows the cause of blindness in the 3,692 blind eyes :-

THE number of new patients seen during 1934 was 20,586 and the total consultations 97,613 . The number of patients admitted to Ho~piial was 1,047 and the number of operations performed 3,301; thi total includes 782 intra-ocular operation, of which 263 were for cataract. There were 1,828 operations for the rel.ief of trichiasi. Mo t of. th se eyelid operations were done on out-patIents . The average duratIOn of stay in Hospital was nine days. Classified according to religion, of the new cases 15,435 were l osle~n ; 3,737 were Chri tians; and 1,414 were J ews. Of the total can ultatIOns 78,339 were Moslems; 14,284 were Christia.ns; and 4,n~)0 were Jew The incidence of trachoma amongst out-patients \Va. 89 per cent. This high rate remains fairly steady but,. when ~he curv~ ~or the past ten years is studied, is seen to be slowly ImprOVll1g. ThIs IS e. peClall ' noticeable amongst the older school children. Hitherto mo t parents received the verdict that their children had acquired trachoma wiih indifference, but latterly one notes a genuine concern among t an increasing number. This disea e is now known to b a har to. many spheres of life and as such is being regarded more and mor scnouJy. The quickest way to eradicate this di ease is to deal with the in . . aniiary living conditions in the village and poorer quarter. of the t.owns an~ to employ means to rai e the social level of the pea:-ant~. l.t 1. ~ co~m~ed that the Government of Palestine ha done much m thl cilr ci.IOn clunng the past few years, thanks to the enlightened policy and the practical sympathy of His Excellency the High Commis ion r toward, the poor. Of the 20,586 new patients, 2,286 were "blind in one eye (11'1 per cent) and 837 were "blind in both (1'0 per cent). Th Humber of individuals who were "blind in one or both eye was 3,132 (1:)'1 per cent). As hitherto, blindnes is reckoned on the low .. tandard of inability to count fingers at a distance of one metre. The follnwing tahle show the incidence of "blindne "since 1920. JJ

Deducting from this list the cases of cataract (which can usually be cured by operation) there remains a total of 3,178 irremediably blind eyes; and it will be noted that 2,336 (73'5 per cent) of the~e eyes were blinded as the result, direct or indirect, of acute conjunctivitis. Further there w re 550 eyes blinded from secondary glaucoma. Under this heading are included only those cases of secondary glaucoma which it is reaso.nable to helieve might haye been saved by timely surgical interventIOn. The problem of the prevention and treatment of secondary glaucoma cal~s for attention, for it is a disturbing reflection that, of all the eyes whlch have suffered from acute conjunctivitis and escaped with fair pr?spects of u eful vision, almost one quarter (23'5 per cent) become blind l.ater from this insidious disease. Generally speaking the victims are ~hIldren and the parents can hardly be held blameworthy as the eyesIght slowly deteriorates to complete blindness without external manifestation of i~fiammation or. pain. The provision of some simple method of recordmg and followmg up cases of acute conjunctivitis

O P HT HALMI C HOSPITAL

with a view to the prevention of secondary glaucoma has been urged frequently in these report. Obviously it is not the duty of the tafi of this Ho pital to follow up these case a most of them have been under treatment at one or other of the ophthalmic clinic, or elsewhere. It i presumed that the difficulty i a financial one, but for a very moderate expenditure score of eye could be saved annually. . To return to the consideration of the work of the Ho pital, the epidemic of acute conjunctivitis during 1934 wa evere. In the outpatient department 6,628 case of thi di ea e were treated; of the e 988 were complicated by ulceration of the cornea, an incidence of 14 per cent. It i gratifying to note that this incidence i teadily falling. In the previou year it wa 21 per cent and in 1931 it wa 24 p r cent. This teady fall i attributable chiefly to ales ening in virul nce of the epidemic but also, one is glad to note, to the circum tance that ca e ~' come earlier for treatment, the excellent road and the cheap bu ervic to almost all villages greatly facilitating traveJ. The clinic at the Annexe for infant and children i nov in charge of a member of the staff-Dr. Langham-Hobart having been appointed for this special duty. At this clinic 3,258 new ca es of acute conjunctiviti were seen. At the first visit 464 cases were noted to be complicated by ulceration of the cornea, and of these ulcer 130 had alread perforated. On the other hand only 20 ca e with no ulceration at the fir t vi it ubsequently developed thi complication; 15 of the e went on to perforation; almo t all the children in thi ~ latter group \-\'ere very debilitated. ~ With regard to acute conjunctivitis it i much too oon to look for anv amelioration of this scourge a the result of the measure to combat this disease undertaken by the Department of Health. 1eanwhile the increased facilities for treatment have led to an increa e in the number of these cases receiving attention. This early treatm nt not only Ie en t~e destructive co~plications but reduces the ri k of preading the disease. The questIOn of the following up and treatment of econdary glaucoma (the most dangerous sequela of acute conjunctiviti) ha already been stressed. This is a matter of the utmo t importance in the campaign to lessen the blindness rate. In some way Pale tine rna be regarded as a prosperous country, but there should not be much complacency so long as the majority of the inhabitant are liable to fall victims to this preventable affliction. .The end of 1934 saw the beginning of the St. John Arab chool. MISS ~?olley assumed duty as superintendent with Miss Meyer a Paleshman housekeeper. It was thought advisable in the first in tance ~o ,:dmit onJy those girls who were brought to us for this purpo e; that IS, m the first year no attempt was made to limit the inmates to girl from the worst vill<l:ges i~ the southern plain. Hence we had pupil from all over Palest me ; mdeed one also from Tran jordan. Further, one o~ two girls fr~m what might be termed the more advanced village were mcluded, as It was felt that these girls would have a beneficial reaction o~ the wilde.r and untamed products from the backward villages of .the plams. Also It must be remembered that in Palestine all village chl1dr~n suffer fr?m trachoma and with this and the ravages of other eye dIsease pupIls possessing two passably good eyes were in the

exception. In the fir t month a surgeon attended from the Hospital to treat the girls, but later when the initial shyness wore off and the eff ct of discipline began to tell they were marched in groups (weather permitting) to the out-patient clepartment, thereby obtaining exercise for their bodies and a wider outlook for their mind. This is not the place to enlarge on the daily life of the school; care for their bodies and a quiet but never ceasing insi tence on the practical application of the domestic virtue were the special province of the resident staff. ~ ature talk, enlivened with tory and folklore, were given by Miss Baldensperger, who i a recognized authority on these subject, and Miss Fisher, who has devoted her life to the uplifting of the peasants, undertook the much more difficult task of teaching the girls th~ art of living; her thorough knowledge of the vernacular and her commonsense idealism were an invaluahle asset; the chool i greatly indebted to her for this ervice of love. vVith regard to the future of the school, it is too early yet to form a po -itive opinion . . s an adjunct to the Ho pital such a' school for girls should prove of great value by enabling us to keep selected ca. es under observation and treatment, meanwhile inculcating in the girls a new and more ordered way of life. Eventually the girls would return to their villages, with eyes that have had time to benefit from the daily expert treatment, as living example of the benefits of a more enlightened civilization. In the out-patient department of the Hospital 1,458 patient were teste~ for glas:,es and 8R2 prescriptions for the same were given; the remalllder, owmg to the presence of irregular astigmatism or other condition, ~ howed insufficient visual improvement to warrant a pre cription. Amongst the ca -es examined were 77 Roval Air Force and Army per. onnel; 187 Government officials and employee ; 107 monks and nuns, and 174 British or American citizens. In the X-ray department 16 photographs were taken and six other expo ures were made with the Potter-Bucky apparatus . Nine cases of intra-ocular for~ign bodie . were located by weet's apparatus. The plaque of radlUm were m use as much a time permitted. The cases tre~ted were mainly spring catarrh, ba al celled epitheliomata, haemangIOmata, and other tumours of the eye or eyelids. A total of 7- application wa made. The car city of water wa especia1lv felt toward the end of the summer when our own cister~ were exhau ~ted, but tIle years of drought hav~ taught staff and patlent how ~o do with little or without. The year 1935 . hould prove noteworthy m Jeru alem annals as we are definitely promIsed the new gravitation upply by the end of the summer; but If rum our should prove correct and tIle price be not much less than tIle prese~1t exorbitant rate. it will be neces ary to ration the supply to the Ho pItal. taps; otherWIse the water bill, with a constant supply of this comI?-odIty, will be astonishingly large. \VIth regard to the Ophthalmic Clinic cherne, the Department of Health has now ten centre in operation; in the southern di trict also there are a number of ubsidiary ophthalmic centre each under the charge .o.f a trained medical orderly; each of these ce~tres is under the superVISIOn of an adjacent ophthalmic clinic.

Three Government medical officers attended the Hospital for a first course in clinical ophthalmology; Dr. Sururi, Dr. Btesh, and Dr. hawk at Mufti. A final year medical student (Mr. Subhi Hamadeh) from the American University of Beyrout took out his qualifying clinical course during the summer months; and as heretofore Dr. Khalil Buderi, the ophthalmic medical officer to the H ealth Department, was attached to this Hospital for duty during the winter months. Two of the H ealth Department nur es (Linda Haddad and Olombia Haddad) were posted for an initial course of four months' training in ophthalmic nursing; they are now at work in ophthalmic centres and, after completing a year there and returning to the Hospital for a refresher course of one month, become entitled to the Order's Certificate in Ophthalmic Tursing. Nurse Zoe Dada and I urse \Vadia A ad had refresher courses during the summer. The Linen Guild has been mo t helpful in supplying the yariou articles requisitioned; our own linen room continues under the watchful care of Lady Watson, and we are all much indebted to her for thi verye ential service so willingly given. In conclusion my best thank ar'e due to all the staff, both British and Pale tinian, for their loyal co-operation, and I am especially indebted to the ~ub-\Varden, Dr. orman \Yren, for his much appreciated assistance on the admini trative side.

Further progress in many directions is the note of thi year's Report. We have secured several new members. We have been able to supply six more pecial bed ide lockers for the Hospital, making a total of eighteen supplied by the Ladie ' Linen Guild Another direction in which the Ladie ' Linen Guild i opening out is amongst the St. John Ambulance Brigade Cadets, who are offering to make operation stockings or eyeshades, or any other small thing needed for the Hospital. We are happy to be able to provide these girls vvith the materials, when necessary, for them to make up, as it all helps to widen the interest in our Hospital of all connected with the Order and its ancillaries. There are still many ladies of the Order who cannot, I think, know of tllis means of partaking in its most important charitable work, and the Committee would be glad of any inquiries from the e ladie . There is also the prospect of many ladies in the Dominions joining us, but of this I shall hope to be able to report further next year. It has been decided to put aside a sum of money with which to assist in the equipment of one or more Paying Wards if and when the Hospital in Jerusalem builds the South Block for this purpo e, a a gift from the Ladies' Linen Guild. Mrs. Strathearn reported that the heavy waterproof capes sent out to Jerusalem for the use of the three outdoor hospital ervants were very much appreciated and most usefuL

THE

T. JOHN A"tI1BULA CE ASSOCIATION.

The scheme for the a sistance of first aid classes con i ting exclusively of unemployed persons, which was introduced in January, 1933, is still in operation, but the number of clas es held fell from 32 in the first nine months to 28 during the last twelve months. Once again a number of these classe di persed on account of the students finding employment after the cour e had begun or, more often, for lack of intere t. It i perhaps surpri ing that greater advantage has not been taken by the unemployed of the facilities offered by the As ociation, as there are indications that the possession of a First id Certificate i becoming more frequently a sine qua 11011, to employment, ince, in addition to recognizing the humanitarian side of the que tion, employer appreciate that their compen ation costs in re pect of accident to their mployces may be considerably reduced through adequate fir t aid arrangement. In this connection it may be said that a colliery company in the ortb of England notified this A sociation that after adequate fir t aid arrangements had been made there was a reduction of approximately 48·3 per cent in the number of person who had lost four days or morc per annum through accidents. The cla es at home include an increased number held by the London Passenger Transport Board, and other tran port undertakings : a well as classes in connection with the alvation Army, the \Vomen's Re ervc, the British National Cadet A sociation ( urrey Branch), and the ncw Metropolitan Police College at Hendon. ttempt ar being made to arrange for the instruction of the per onnel employed in light hip, lighthouses, and coa tal steamers. Classes in the Dominions and oloni s out ide the area of Overseas Centres have been held by the Kenya and Uganda Railways; in Singapore where, with the encouragement of H.E. the Governor, 600 students passed for certificates; in Zanzibar, under the energetic supervision of the Commandant of Police; in Bermuda; and in Kano, Nigeria.

John Pr cott Hewett, G.C.S.l., K.B.E., C.I.E., Bailiff of Egle, and nIr . Lorna Ethel Atkinson (a Dame of Justice and the daughter of Sir John Hewett) sailed for Canada on 21st October, and discussed with the anadian Branch of the Association the future development of the work of the Order in the Dominion. The Delegation was received with great hospitality and enthusiasm throughout the Dominion, and in the course of a strenuous tour a great deal of very valuable work was accompli hed. A Commandery for Canada has been approved by the Order as from 24th June, 1934, and the Commandery Chapter took over the control of the Canadian Branch of the Association on that date. CENTRES OVERSEAS. The Centres in Australia continue to make good progress, and headquarters was favoured with visits from the Chairman of the Jorth Tasmania Centre, Dr. Gregory Sprott and the South Tasmania Centre,

CENTRE HEADQUARTERS.

Dr. J. Ramsay, whose accounts of both these Centres show that they are extending their activities. British Guiana again shows a large increase in the number of classes held, especially in the Police, and efforts have been made to organize classes in outlying parts of the colony. The honorary secretary of the Centre, Ir. H. Edwards, during a short visit to London, gave a satisfactory account of the progre s of the Centre. 1ention has already been made of the Canadian Branch, now under the guidance of the Commandery of the Order in Canada. The report of the Director will be found at page 27. It is satisfactory to be able to report that the Gibraltar Centre has been resu citated, largely through the instrumentality of H.E. The Governor, General Sir Charles Harington. The Colonial Secretary, Colonel A. E. Beattie, ha again con ented to act as President and Chairman of the Centre, while aptain D. . Gowing, Assistant Chief of Police, has accepted office a Honorary ecretary. Headquarters had the benefit of a number of meetings with l\Ir. Alfred Iorri, hairman of the Hong Kong Centre, who was home for a short period. It i evident that "ery valuable work, of which Mr. Morris is the in piration and the driying power, is being done in Hong Kong. ::'1 ntion i made el ewhere of the fine headquarters building which is in proces of erection, and a number of new clinics and di pen aries have been e tabli h d in the ?\ew Territories. if Dayid P trie, who ha done such valuable work for the Order in I ndia ince his appointment a hairman of the Indian Branch, paid a number of vi it to t. John' Gate during his stay in England, and the discu ions with him have been most helpful. The Indian Branch continue to do much valuable work in difficult circumstances, and special mention mu t be made of the relief afforded by it and by members of the Brigade on the occa ion of the di astrou earthquake at Bihar and Ori a in January, 1934. iYew ZeaZaJ/d.- The activities in New Zealand are referred to in the report of the Commandery on page 28 and 43. Among the di tingui hed visitors from outhern Africa the officials at St. John's Gate had the pleasure of meeting Sir Charles and Lady Smith, who have been of great assistance to the Natal Centre, and Colonel D. Horwich, D.D.M.S., Transvaal Command, Union Defence Forces. The work of the A sociation in Southern Africa continues to progress under the Commandery, and the Report of the Commandery Director of Ambulance will be found at page 26. CENTRE HEADQUARTERS. The elson Memorial Hall in Birmingham, recently completed, was opened at the end of September, 1933. The building is yery well designed for the work of the Association and the Brigade, and has, in addition to the necessary office accommodation, a large hall for drill purposes and a fiat roof which can be used for the same purpose in fine weather. The garage will hold twelve motor ambulances, is very fully equipped, and already houses nine ambulances which have been pre ented to the Association and Brigade in Birmingham.

POLICE KIOSKS.

The Plymouth Centre will shortly occupy what will be one of the finest headquarters in the country. It is being built on the site of the old prison at Mutley, and is to be a memorial to the late Mr. J. H. Beckly, who was a very generous benefactor to the Centre. The headquarters will include an up-to-date rescue station equipped with all the latest appliances for resuscitation, an apparatus for use when releasing someone trapped by an electric cable carrying a high power current, a complete suit of asbestos for use at fires, an asbestos blanket for wrapping round a person trapped beneath a vehicle in a position towards which fire is spreading, and many other modern aids to rescue work. The headquarters at Hong Kong, acquired largely through the generosity of Chau Ian-chi, is in course of erection. The foundation stone of the building was taken from the fabric at St. John's Gate. It is a fine building of three stories overlooking the harbour. On the ground floor is a dispensary, store room, and accommodation for personnel: on the first floor there is a spacious assembly hall suitable for meetings and lectures, while the second floor will be used as living quarters, with bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.

Dr. N. Corbet Fletcher, who wrote a very valuable History of the St. John Ambulance Association in 1931, is engaged in bringing it up to date and revising it. The original publication has proved of the greatest value to all those interested in our work, and particularly to headquarters.

I TERNATIONAL CO ' GRESS AT COPENHAGEN. On the invitation of the Committee, Captain A. C. \Vhite Knox, M.C., M.B., kindly consented to represent the Association at the International Congress of Life Saving and First Aid at Copenhagen in June, and read a paper on The method of transporting a patient suffering from suspected fracture of the spine", a subject on which there has recently been some diversity of opinion in medical and first aid circles, and on which there is not yet unanimity. In a well reasoned and carefully thought out paper, Captain vVhite Knox adduced sound arguments in support of the treatment laid down in the textbook of the Association . Papers were read by representatives of other organizations on other subjects of interest to the Association. Other points in the First Aid Textbook of the ssociation have received much consideration during the year. In November, 1933, representatives of the Royal Life Saving Society met representatives of th~ St. John Ambulance Association, and discussed the possibility of umfymg the methods of applying artificial respiration: it was felt that if the Society and the Association, and, indeed, other organizations interested in the subject, were to come to an agreement on the point, it would be to the advantage of all concerned. It is satisfactory to report that an agreement has been reached between the Society and the Association. The treatment of burns by tannic acid has also been under consideration, and the decisions arrived at on these various matters will be incorporated in the textbook when it is next revised. it

NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Committee is indebted to Dr. M. N. Goodman, who has very kindly undertaken the revision of the textbook Domestic and Personal Hygiene by the late Dr. Thresh. Dr. Goodman has already begun the arduous task.

POLICE KIOSKS. During the year first aid outfits have been placed in Police Kiosks in Bromley (21), Southend (11), Hornsey (14), East Dulwich (8), Lewisham (5), East Ham (14), Ilford (11), West Ham (9), and Plaistow (6). There are therefore now situated in various parts of London, including those previously issued, some 250 outfits, and they have been of considerable service. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. No new Depots have been established in London during the year, but those already in existence continue to meet the needs of the sick poor. ST. JOHN BLAZER. A black blazer with the badge of the Order surrounded by a wreath of St. John's Wort on the pocket has been sanctioned by the ChapterGeneral of the Order, and may be worn by members of the Order, of the Association, and of the Brigade.

At the presentation of prizes which immediately followed the Competition, Lieut.-General Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston , Chancellor of the Order, took the chair, while Sir J 0 iah tamp, the President of the London :Midland c ~ cottish Railway, who was accompanied by Lady Stamp, pre ented the shield, cup, and prizes. ir J 0 iah tamp aid he regarded it as an honour to be asked to pre ent the prize at such an important competition. \ hen it was realized that there were over 25,000 railwaymen who had high ambulance qualifications it showed what a remarkable movement it wa throughout the railway service. He was plea ed to see the kindly pirit and good sportsmanship that exi ted between ambulance men. He had been intere ted to v;atch thi fine competition, ·which had been conducted in the be t traditions of Briti h port man hip. H e congratulated the Great \Vestern Railway on winning the Competition, and wa sorry that Sir James Iilne was not well enough to be pre ent to witness the triumph of his team. This wa not an occasion on which to di cu accidents on railways. The railways had a remarkable record, 0 far as accident "vere concerned. In a recent year only four pa engers were killed, but ,vith the rapidity of movement there wa bound to be a considerable number of accidents among the taff, and the knowledge that through the ambulance movement there were experienced men to deal with almost any situation wa regarded by the public and the staff as of very great importance. They regarded it as one of the greatest assets of their public life. He would like to say that the railway companies were deeply grateful to the ssociation for organizing the Competition and providing the prizes. The Police Xational Com}etition.-The Eliminating Competitions for the Police Forces of England, \Vales, and the I Ie of :Man were held in January, 100 teams competing, an increase of nine on the previous year. The Final Competition was held at the Central Hall, \Vestmin ter, on the 23rd February. The Judges were: For the team test, G. D. E. Tulli , 1.B., of H ereford; for the individual tests, Captain A. C. \Vhite Knox, ~I.C., ~I.B. (deputizing for R. B. Duncan, M.D., who was taken ill after drawing up the test ). After a contest which showed that first aid amongst the Police Forces had reached a high standard of efficiency, the result of the Competition was made known as follows :J.I arks. Police Forces. vVest Sussex Constabulary (No. 6 District) (Winners of the Pim 3- .J~ Challen ge Cup) . . . . . 339 2. "Vest Riding Constabulary (No.3 District) . 332 3.

The prizes were distributed by the Right Hon. Sir John Gilmour, Et., the Home Secretary, the chair being taken by Lord Rockley, Bailiff Grand Cross of the Order of St. John.

The Home Secretary said it was an honour to have been asked to associate himself with the competitions and a great personal pleasure to be present. As the responsible Minister for the time being for the Metropolitan Police Forces, and associated as his office was with all the other Forces throughout the country, he realized what an immense advantage must accrue to these Forces generally by competitions of this kind, which engendered keen rivalry, but the British method of competing was never to take offence when they did not always come out on top. The marks which had been adjudicated in the Competition had one outstanding feature about them, and that was that, although one team- West Sussex-was at the top, there was a great level of uniformity and of excellence throughout. Everyone who had the pleasure of watching the Competition would agree that it had been most excellently done. He trusted that in future more and more Forces would compete and, moreover, that they would try to bring fresh men into the teams, and give the young men a chance so as to spread the keenness and interest right through the Forces. The Home ecretary concluded his remarks by thanking the Association for providing annually such a splendid opportunity for the Police Forces of the country to meet and to demonstrate their skill in rendering first aid to the injured. II. and Mrs. John :Maxwell and 1\1r. Joseph Grossman, of British International Pictures, Ltd., have again very generously provided the staging for the Finals of the Inter-Railway and Police National First Aid Competitions. They spared no effort or expense in making them as realistic as possible, and as a result both competitions were a great success, and were enjoyed not only by the teams taking part in them but also by the large audience present at both. The Ambulance Committee of the Order once more thank Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell and Mr. Grossman for their invaluable assistance. MERITORIOUS FIRST AID CERTIFICATE.

The Meritorious First Aid Certificate has been awarded to:Signalman \ Villiam Lynton Davies, of Swansea; Inspector Albert Rienzi de Livera, of Ceylon. STORES DEPARTMEl T .

The re-organization of the Department mentioned in last year's report has enabled it to deal expeditiously with the steady demand for the various types of first aid equipment supplied and the increased number of orders received. INVALID TRANSPORT CORPS.

Mileage . Patients .

Comparative figures for two years. 1934 . 1933. 73,466 71 ,625 2,970 2,80-!

It will be seen that both the mileage and the number of patients removed show a substantial advance on the previous year. The transport service continues to carry a number of patients free of charge or for a reduced fee, according to circumstances.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal Secretary and Commissioner for \Vales : The report which I have the honour to submit for the calendar year 1934 is conccrned with a period of time during which the long shadows of unemployment have continued to darken vast areas of South Wal~s ; and the following reference to the salient features of the work carned out under the various Dcpartments of the Priory provides further proof of thc capacity of the Order of St. J ohn to survive the tests of economic disturbance and stress.

FOR

1y rcport for 1933 referred to the Priory's proyd boa~t of ~n .unbro~en series of annual increases in the number of awards Issued SInce ItS mceptlOn. Therefore the slight decrease in the final total shown in the comparative table below calls for some explanation. The number of students who attended a course of instruction was 18,052, or 148 less than in 1933 ; but, at the same time, the vital figures-as one may fairly regard the enior course as compared with the Preliminary without minimizing the importance of the latter-show an increase of 260 First Aid and 57 Home -ursing student, while a drop of 514 junior students more than accounts for the ultimate decrease. In the figures for awards gained, a similar falling off in juniors is to be observed, 2,510 Preliminary rtificaies having been issued, as compared with 2,914 in 1933. Although the total number of successful examinees, viz. 16,133, is 206 short of the 1933 figurc, the senior awards gained were 198 ahove the previous year's total.

The most obvious reason for thc junior decline is the arrangement notified to Brigade Units towards the end of the year whereby Cadets under 16 years of age can be examined for efficiency by specially deputed Brigade Officers without incurring any expense as no award is issued; and about 110 Cadets were re-examined in this manner. Another indirect

cause, however, i the fact that last year marked the conclusion of the Pilgrim Tru t Grant following a strenuous campaign covering a period of three year to enrol and equip junior Units by means of a two-thirds grant toward textbooks, examination expenses, and equipment. \Vhen this came to an end, early in the 'car, there was a natural tendency on the part of Brigade Divi ions to curtail further expenditure on Cadet Units. Of the 903 Clas es examined or re-examined during the year, 76 were held under the Glamorgan County ouncil, which Authority not only provides accommodation, lecturer's fcc, and examination xpenses, but grants four years' subsequent award., viz. Certificate, Voucher, Medallion, and Label. Great \Vestern Railway Classes in \Vales were attended by 3,127 students, of whom 2,849 qualified for awards as compared with 3,045 and 2,853 respectively for 1933. The number of students in London l\Iidland and Scottish Railway Classes was 685-38 more than the previous year, the awards gained being 616 as against 586. Full advantage has been taken of the facilities provided by the Priory for the promotion of Ambulance Classes among unemployed clubs and centres, for vvhich purpose a further grant was made from Priory funds. Comparatively new spheres of activity in Association work arc pecial classes for coal trimmers, started at everal of the South \Vales ports, and enthusiastic classes of road passenger transport workers, which are being formed in increasing numbers. THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The following is a copy of the Report of the Director of Ambulance for Southern Africa : " I have the honour to submit herewith my econd annual report on the activities of the Ambulance Department within the Commandery for the year ended 31st December, 1D31. " The summary of ' Awards issued through Centre '1 detail a total of 5,432 awards i sued by the respecti\"e centres durinO" the year under review-an increase of 470 over the pre\"iou year. " Traces of the recent financial deprcs ion are still evident-notably on the S.A. Railways-but a few ccntres show a substan~ial ad:rance. <t Junior classes have made s Leady progress; .classes. 111 Afnkaa?s are gradually increasing, and the work, generally, is makmg very sahsfactory progress. " Delegates were appointed to attend Conferences on Rural ursing called by H er Excellency the Countess of. Claren~on,. and every eff?rt is being made to cope with the need for 111struchon 111 Home N ursmg indicated at these Conferences. " The Fourth Annual Meeting of the Ambulance Committee was held in the Town H all, Durban, on 6th July, 1931, when there was a representative attendance of Association and Brigade Members from all Provinces.

" Many useful discu sions ensued and a number of practical suggestions are being dealt with. " \i\- ith a view to a sisting in propaganda, a Poster Competition has been inauguratcd, and entries for this are now coming to hand. " Every advantage has been taken of the work of the Association. to form new Division , and the general advance-due largely to co-operatIOn between the As ociation and Brigade-shows that intcrest and enthusiasm are being maintained. " I mu t record my sincere appreciation and thanks to all Centres and Officials of the Association, and all ranks of the Brigade, for their praiseworthy cfforts in furthering the work of the Order during the past year. 1

THE COMMANDERY IN CANADA.

The following extracts are taken from the Report of the Director of Ambulance of the ommandery in Canada : The As ociation' work of organizing courses of instruction in the principles of first aid and home nursing is necessarily influenced by the general condition of industry in the country. It is, therefore, most gratifying at the end of some years showing decline that the year 193-1 has hown a distinct advance, the increase in the number of certificates and other award being 3,009 with the splendid total for the year of 20,037, of which 12,733 represents certificates awarded in respect of fir t examinations and 7,321 re-examination awards. The larger proportion of re-examination is very satisfactory as it shows that interest does not die out \vhen the first certificate is gained. During the year '1,267 junior certificates were is ued, showing an increase of 1,675, in spit.e of the fact. t.hat t.he Department of Tational Defence was much hampered in t.heir work with Junior Cadets by the di bandment of large number of add Unit. A total of 782 home nursing certificates was is ued ,howing a sub t.antial gain in this important department of the work. For t.he la t few year pecial efforts have been made to induce the public to ee the importance and the advantages of bringing into the homes a knowledge of home nursing. The journal Canadian First .-1id, which is publi hed quart.erly, is a valuable means of communication between the central organization and first aiders, home nurses, and well\\:i hers generally all over the country. During the year all the Dominion trophies in first-aid and home nur ing, including senior, intermediate, and junior, were offered for Dominion-wide competition and large numher of entries were received for all of the trophies with one exception. The Director of Ambulance desires to express his very high appreciation of the excellent standards of training which was shown by competing teams in every part of the country, and to point out that when a team becomes sufficiently well trained to enter one of these competitions it becomes a valuable asset to the community in which the team is located, whether winners or losers. During 193 J, 175 of such weil trained teams were entered and examined in the competitions in fifty-three different towns and cities. In addition to the competitions held as preliminaries to the junior and intermediate Dominion competition, it is encouraaing to

note the number of senior and junior local competitions that have taken place during the year. In co-operation with the Canadian Red Cross and the Ontario Motor League, successful step were taken to establish a series of first aid posts, at ten mile interval, along No. 2 Highways between Toronto and Montreal, with the exception of the larger town and citie . In all, twenty-two stations were e tablished and now are functioning sati factorily . Re pon ible re ident along thi road have been located who have made themselves respon ible for the station and to recrui.t from four to twenty persons in the neighbourhood of each station to take the St. John cour e and qualify as fir. t aiders. These groups ha,'e been trained and are now in posse~ ion of certificate, and suilable equipment has been i sued and signs placed along the road. At the end of the first three months of operation, an in peclion showed that all t wentytwo stations were functioning properly and had already cared for a total of 106 cases. THE COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND.

The Centres in New Zealand continue their activities, and have received much encouragement from H.E. Lord Bledisloe, who throughout his term of office has done a great deal to further the intere ts of the Order in the Dominions. At his farewell inspection at Christchurch in August the Governor-General commended the t. John A mbula71ce Review. originated by the Canterbury and \Yest Coast Centre of the Association, and now the official Journal of the Commandery in ew Zealand; and in the following month Lord Bledisloe performed the opening cer mony of the new wing of the Auckland Centre's headquarters in Rutland treet.

COMMITTEE.

The centre sustained a severe loss by the death of Viscount hurchill, G.C.V.O., Chairman of the Company, who had been it Pre ident since 1923. It is gratifying to report that Sir Robert Horne, G.B.E., E..C., M.P., Chairman of the Company, has accepted the Pre idcncy of the centre in succession to Viscount Churchill. During the tweh'c months under review (1 t July, 1933, to 30th June, 1934) the total number of the staff passing in first aid was 7,206, an increase of 99, or 1'39 per cent over the previous year's total of 7,107. In view of the pre ent conditions of staff recruitment, this increase is regarded as mo t encouraging. In the matter of recruitment of ambulance workers thc windon ( ~ 0 3) Divi ion has again taken the lead, obtaining the highc t proportion of succes ful new members to examination awards, 16' 0(3 p r c nt, and, therefore, won the Athlone Bowl for the fifth time ince that trophy was awarded.

According to custom, the two teams obtaining the highest positions in the Company's final competition (South Lambeth and Pontypool Road) represented the Railway in the Inter-Railway competition held in London on 15th lay. It is gratifying to report that for the second year in succession the Inter-Railway trophy was won by the Great \tVestern R ailway, the winners being the South Lambeth team, the Pontypool Road team (last year's winners of the Inter-Railway shield) obtaining sixth place in the contest. At the tenth annual competition for the Harry \Vebb Cup, the \Velsh Inter-Railway trophy, held at Cardiff on 2nd ovember, 1933, when three teams from the Great \Ve tern Railway met three from the London Iidland and Scottish R ailway, the winning t am was Cardiff (Newtown) (G.W.R.).

The priz~ distribution ceremony, held on the afternoon of 17th January, was p~esided over by H.E. The Governor of Bengal, who o-a\'e away the pnzes. The annual general meeting of the A sociation was held in ". The Vicer?y's House", on 22nd March, when H.E. The Viceroy preSIded. An mformal conference of Association worker ' \vas held at the headquarters in. New Delhi on 23rd :lVIarch, which \Va atlended by delegates from different parts of the country. A very fruitful discu ~ sion covering a wide range of subjects of common intere t took place in which a~ the delegates took part. The proceedings of the conf r nee were ~Ircul<1:ted to all .c~ntres of. the As ociation and Divi ions of the Brigade m India. In addItIon prommence mu t be given to the ao-reement reached between the Association and the Indian Red Cross oeiety in order to secure closer co-operation between the two bodies, and it i a mcttter for. great .sati.t~ction that a defir:ite P?licy has now been adopted which, while mamtammg the separate IdentIty of both bodies, will encourage that close co-operation which the programme of both organizations ~~mands, and which was so happily illustrated by the di patch of a ~ omt St. John and Red Cross Camp Hospital to the eart.hquake a rea m J anuary. The agreement reached is calculated to en ure harmonious relations between the two bodies, to avoid overlapping, and to en ure that ambulance work is given its rightful place in the general Red Cross programme and is afforded the necessary financial as i tance. MALTA.

The centre organized twelve courses of lectures during the year, the total number of awards issued being 323. The holding of classes in military barracks was continued with the kind co-operation of Brigadier E. FeltonFalkner, C.M.G., D.S.O. Four courses of instruction in sanitation were also held. ~he ~o~tonera an~ Ham~un branches maintained a steady progress, whIch It IS hoped will contmue to increase. The translation of the first aid text -book in to Maltese by Professor ir Themistocles Zammit, Kt., C.M.G., M.D., D.P.H., has been completed, and the books are now ready for issue. The centre owes its great gratitude to Professor Zammit for the translation, which entailed very hard work, and to the " M~lta Red Cross Gift Fund" Committee, which very kindly made a specIal grant to the centre towards the cost of production of the text-book.

FRO~1 CE~TRES

NEW ZEALAND.

The Association is the poorer by the passing of three notable citizens, two of whom were members of the Order and intimately connected with the work of the Association in Auckland. The Hon. ir George Fowld , C.B.E., who died on 17th August, was a Knight of Grace of the Order, a vice-president and deputy-chairman of the committee of the Centre. Mr. \Villiam Rattray, a Commander of the Order, the veteran honorary secretary of the centre, died on 31st October. 1fr. Rattray was honorary secretary for 39 years, and took over the office when the centre had no assets and was in debt. He saw and guided its growth through the years, witnessed the building of the ambulance station, and its enlargement by the addition of another torey, and also the addition of the adjoining building. Mr. Rattray laboured in the true spirit of the Order and eminently merited the honour conferred upon him, and the ambulance station in Rutland Street stands as a memorial of his great work. The centre also records the death of a life member, Mr. \Villiam B. Leyland, who took a great interest in its work, and who a few years ago presented a motor car to the centre. In the forty-second annual report the centre records a year of unusual activity and interest which has more than equalled that of the previous year, a decided increase in the \'olume of work done being shown. The completion of the new building has made the station in Rutland Street one of the finest ambulance stations in Australa ia, or perhaps in the British Dominions. The building was finished in May 1st and the ceremonic connected with its dedication and opening constituted a notable occasion. The dedication was performed by His Grace the Archbishop and Primate of ew Zealand, Dr. Averill, a sub-Prelate of the Order, and a warm friend and upporter of the Association in Auckland. The opening ce~emony was performed by His Excellency the Governor-General, Lord. Biedi loe, vvho wa accompanied by Her Excellency the Lady Biedl loe, Dame of Grace of the Order. His Excellency's address was a most cordial and heartening appreciation of the work of the Association. Both Their Excellencies have been most kind and helpful in support of the work of both the As ociation and the Brigade in New Zealand and their departure from ew Zealand will be keenly regretted by the members ?f both organizations. At the height of the influenza epidemic in August It became obvious that the Di trict Nursing Staff would be unable to cope w~t~ the ext~'a work which h~d to be undertaken and the provision of addItIonal aSSIstance seemed Impossible owing to depleted funds . The General Committee decided, however, that extra staff should be obtained although it was difficult to see where the necessary money to pay them was to come from. A statement to this effect found its way mto the paper~, and t.he Committee received an instant and generous response to theIr need m the shape of a cheque for £500 from Mr. D. R. Caldwell. The Dock ~r~et Mission was also kind enough in responding to the appeal by provIdmg the salary for an additional District Nurse for six weeks. The first and paramount duty of the centre is the formation of cla~ses for instruction in first aid and home nursing, in addition to classes m home hygiene and military sanitation. The classes were attended by 1,810 pupils, the total for the previous year being 1,756, A UC KLAN D.

most of whom gained certificate or other award of the Association. The ambulance service has received many testimonie to the kill and efficiency of the taff, and it ha carried 9,610 patients over a total mileage of 65,912 . Each year brings further d mand from the medical comfort depot, which is, week by week, being enlarged in order to cope with the need for its heopfulne s and comfort to the ick. During the y ar 633 articles were loaned, in compari on with 5 5 in the pre\'ious year. The annual street collections took place on 2th October and, with the donation, produced the sum of £1,169 4s. 7d. The ~Iayore s' \ Var Iemorial Library League, which has now been in existence for fourteen years, has had a year of strenuous effort, and ent out a total of 138 parcel containing 1,366 books, 2,3 -4 maps, 1,28 paper, 100 hristma card, 87 calendars, and 205 toys. The work was hampered very considerably by an insufficient supply of book and magazine . The forty-eighth annual meeting was held in Chri tchurch on 13th December. During the year 24 cla e of in truction fi rst al'd , 1lome nur mg, . ' ] T1lC 111 an d hygIene 'wcre f ormce. awards gained at the examination were pre ented by ir R. II aton Rhodes, K.C.V.O., R.B.E., T.D., Knight of Ju ticc of the Ordcr. There are established and maintained by the centre 38 kit 1 pot and 20 stretcher and kit depots for the u e of the general public. The work of the dressing stations has grown. During the seyen month ended 31st December, the ambulance tran ported 2,576 ca e , the total mileage being 24,699'1. There have been two ucce ful appeal for fund during the year. The Committee acknowledges with incere appreciation the generous support accorded by both donor and helper. During the year the centre "was enabled to purcha e the ection at th rear of th Peterborough treet Headquarter. A generous grant wa mad toward this by an anonymous donor. During the year thc Publicity Officer, Major J. \V. Crampton, conceived the idea of publi 'hing a monthly magazine The t. ] aim Amb~tlance Review, the fir t i sue of which appcar d on 1st August, 193-1. The t. J ohn Ambulance Ladies' Auxiliary wa formed in June, 1932, its object being to help in any national disa t r or distress of any kind. Its activitie during the year have bcen many and varied. Clothe have been made for the depot and individual ca e have been helped . Parties were held in different members' house, and, at the Relief Workers' Christmas P arty at Linwood Park, it was larg ly due to the Ladies' Auxiliary that the party, consi ting of nearly 6,000 children who were catered for, was such a uccess. This was the third year the ladies had taken part in the Mayor' Chri tma Party for unemployed. The Auxiliary was represented on the Mayor's R elief Committee and is represented on the ational Council of \ iVomen of ew Zealand . The Ladies' Auxiliary consists of live workers and has done a very good work in the interests of charity in the city.

CAN T ERBURY AND WEST COAST. .

Interest in the work has been well maintained during the year, and in furtherance of its activities classes were held at Bluff, where strong Ambulance and ursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas have been formed.

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM CENTRES

The very fine hall which was purchased by the centre and officially opened by the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, on 7th April, 1933, has proved a very valuable asset to the centre. During the year a medical comforts depot was established, and approximately twenty articles were loaned out. First aid outfits have been prepared and supplied to various industrial concerns, and also to a number of primary schools.

Annual Report of the Chief Commissioner.

England (including Northern Ireland) Wales Ireland (Irish Free State)

31st Jlarc h, 1935.

I have the honour to ubmit my Annual Report as Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home. Again I am pleased to be able to report that during the S T RE NCTH . past year there has been a highly satisfactory increase both in total strength and in the number of new Divi ions. There has been a net increase in adult member of 3,514 and in Cadets of 1,413, whilst 171 new Divisions were formed, of which 89 were adult Divisions and 82 Cadet Divi ions. These increases are eloquent te timony not only to the strength of the movement, but also to the keenness and efficiency of all ranks in the Brigade, for unless it had been in a thoroughly efficient condition and was performing really valuable work this continued increase in numbers and in new Divisions would have been impossible to maintain. These increases are particularly remarkable considering the large increases in recent years. The large number of new Divi ions formed during the year is a particularly satisfactory feature a it extends our work into fresh areas where our services are required. I am particularly glad to bring to your notice the large increa e in Cadets and in Cadet Units. I attach great importance to the extension of our training to the youth of the nation. As I pointed out last year, this training and the principle inculcated of helping others must have a great influence on the formation of character on our young members, whilst a large proportion of these young members will, I am sure, be a source of strength to the Brigade when they are old enough to join adult units. As regards both the net increase in new Divisions and of personnel, I fancy that 1934 must be a record in the history of the Brigade. The actual increases of new Divisions and of personnel in 193 1 compared with similar figures for 1933 are as follows :New Divisions. Ambulance Nursing Cadet Ambulance. Cadet Nursing Total

The reports from the Commissioners throughout the country show that the work of the Brigade continues to increase. It is gratifying to be able to report that these increasing demands have been met by the self-sacrificing work of our members and by the formation of new Divisions. The greatest keenness exists amongst all ranks, and I am satisfied from the reports I have received that there is a steady increase in efficiency. During the year a large number of new headquarters have been acquired by nits throughout the country. This has only been possible by the most strenuous efforts of local members to collect money for the purpose. Suitable accommodation is essential if training and work is to be carried out efficiently, and I am deeply grateful to the members, who, in addition to their self-sacrificing efforts to render" first aid" to the public, have undertaken the difficult duty of collecting funds to purchase Headquarters. . During the year a number of important functions where big crowds assembled have been attended by our members and the large number of cases dealt with during these occasions is evidence of the value of the services which our members performed. I may mention that during the visit of Their Majesties to Liverpool our members attended to over 1,200 cases. Many cases have been brought to my notice of lives having been saved by the prompt and efficient action of our members. In the great mining and industrial centres the work of our members is an essential service, and many managers have expressed to me their appreciation of the value of the work of our trained personnel, who by prompt and efficient " first aid" have minimized the effects of injuries received. During the year the enormous number of 524,237 reported cases of accident and sudden illness were treated by our members. This is certainly a record in the history of the Brigade and compares with 471,731 in 1933. If any proof is necessary of the great value to the public of the selfsacrificing work of the Brigade they are furnished by the above figures. The attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and Welfare Centres underta~en by members of the Nursing Divisions shows a very large increase thIS year.

dealt with in the comprehensive report of the Lady uperintendent-inChief, for whose whole-hearted support and devotion to duty I am greatly indebted. I must again thank her for the large number of in pections she has carried out and the intense interest she has taken in maintaining the efficiency of the Nursing Divisions. Her experiment of instituting summer camps for Ambulance i ters has been most satisfactory and will certainly increase efficiency. Her personal contact with so many provincial Units has been most valuable. This is one of our most important activities, and the demands ROAD SERVICE. upon the services of our members i increasing. 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 sati fred that the members of the Brigade recognize the serious re ponsibilities that they have undertaken in this respect, and are doing their utmost to meet them by increased efficiency. This duty involve the acrifice of leisure hours, as it takes place during the week-ends and Bank Holidays of the summer months. No fewer than 18,939 road accident were treated by the Brigade personnel in 1934, compared with 17,041 in 1933. Throughout the country there are 198 Roadside Huts and 981 First Aid P osts. This compares with 196 Huts and 965 Posts in 1933. MOTOR The Brigade is fulfilling a national need in the provision AMBULANCE and maintenance of Motor Ambulances. The responsibility TRANSPORT. and hard work entailed in thi ervice i borne by the Officers of the Units concerned, and the prompt and efficient manner in which calls are responded to reflects the greatest credit upon those officers and th~ members who act as drivers and attendants. It is gratifying to note that m a large number of towns the entire ambulance service of the Town has been entrusted by the Municipal authorities to the Brigade. .293 mot?r ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions, compared wIth 252 m 1933. These Ambulances carried 112,342 compared with 114,918 patients in 1933. The reported mileage is 1,301,619, compared with 1,040,287 in 1933 . Fu~t~er progress has been made during the year in PROTECTION OF trammg the personnel of No. 1 District in this subject, THE CIVIL but, owing to the fact that no official scheme has 0 far POPULATION ACAINST CAS been issued, this side of our work has been considerably ATTACKS . held up . FIRST AID IN During the year a new type of Division was formed at CONNECTION Ipswich to deal primarily with casualties the re ult of WITH AVIATION . aeroplane accidents; these divisions are called" Air Duties Divisions". This type of Division will extend our work into a new sphere of action. I hope that further units of this type will be formed in the larger aerodromes. . At .the r~quest of ~~e Director of Civil Aviation, the Brigade, in conJunctIon WIth the BntIsh Red Cross Society, has undertaken the responsibility of training in "first aid" a proportion of the staff in all civil aerodromes, and also inspecting their "first aid" equipment, thus furthe r extending our responsibilities.

INSPECTIONS. The following inspections have been carried out during the year : By the Chancellor-No. 1 (Prince of Wales's) District. By the Secretary-General-South-East Lancashire Units.

In view of the depression which still exi ts in many indu tries, thi ha been a remarkable achievement. It is a thankless task to collect money for an purpose, however worthy, and great credit is therefore due to all tho e members w:Q.o have helped to collect the necessary funds to enable the valuable work of the Brigade to be carried on. ACCOUNTS.

I am glad to say that the work of the Brigade continues to receive increa ing recognition on the part of the Iunicipal Authorities, especially in connection with the Iotor mbulance ervice. The Brigade is also indebted to the support received from Chief ~onstables and other Authorities. It is further indebted to the Pres for theIr valuable help in making known the work of the Brigade. MUNICIPAL

SUPPORT.

The past year has been one of substantial progress and increased activity in every direction. It is gratifying to record that as the demands upon the services of the Brigade continue to increase these demands are supported by substantial increases in personnel. CONCLUSION.

The Northern Camp was held at Ro all chool, FIe twood, where a delightful week was spent by orne 60 officer and member under the leadership of Mr . Tweedale, Lady Di trict uperintendent, o.

There is no doubt that these camps are very much appreciated and those attending find them of great benefit in many ways.

CAMPS.

During the summer of thi year duty at Camps was undertaken by 86 members. Of this number 85 were Girl Guide Camps; and two were organized by the Life Brigade. The other camp was at Ingham Old Hall, Norfolk, which is run by the ea ide Camp and Settlement Association. At this camp there are ometim s a many as 200 boys. We were asked to supply members for ele\Ten week~ and this duty was covered by four members. I have received many letters of appreciation of the work done by our members at these camps, and they invariably meet with the greatest kindness and consideration.

" All Divisions in the Area, except one, have been visited during the year, either by a member of my Staff or myself, and I am very pleased to report that there has been a general improvement throughout the Area in the efficiency of the Divisions. " Two Area Church Parades have been h eld during the year. At the invitation of the Commissioner this Area attended the special, ervice at the Church of the Order, Clerkenwell, on Sunday, 1 1th l\Iarch, and were afterwards inspected by the Dean of Virestminster. " Also on Sunday, 25th eptember, at 'Yest Ealing. After this service our Area was inspected by our Commissioner. " The Annual l\leeti ng of Officers of this Area was held at Di trict Headquarters on 2nd lay, and some interesting items were di cussed by the Officers. "The Annual Area ocial, again held at the axton H all, \\"estmin ter, on Tuesday, 30th October, was a greater success than ever, a record number of members and friends joining in the enjoyment of thi social evening. " There ha been a remarkable increase in the \,,-ork undertak n by many of the Divisions, both Ambulance and Kursing, in thIS Area, and although It is for t111 ' purpose that \\'e are organized it is very grat.ifying t.o us to find that the enthusiasm in the Area is carrying our Divisions along such a useful road. " Several Diyi ions ha\'e already arranged for orne form of permanent Di\'isional Headquarters , and two more Divisions have schemes in being for the erection of suitable buildings . " One Division has successfully started a motor ambulance car dunng the year, and those Di\'isions that have already secured motor ambulances ha\'e found this outlet for their energies of very great assistance in the carrying out of t.hur Divi 'jonal work in their own loc·alities. " Some great work is still being carried out by our ~ ~ ur ing DIvisions in connection with our London Hospitals, and we look forward t.his year to an ext.ension of this section of our work. " The l.ledical Comforts Depots and First Aid Stations have also fully justified their establishment, and have been able to help III a large number of case' of accident and illness in their respective neighbourhood . " All :l\ursing Divi ions in \Vestern .:\rea have now been registered a' \'oluntary Aid Detachments and one Ambulance DivislOn. " These """.A.D. Units have been inspected during the year by a representative appointed by the \Yar Office. and a good report has been sent in in respect of each. In every case Lady District Officer Robinia, Vlscountess J'llountgarret, who IS responsible to the Commissioner for this section of the work, accompanied the Inspecting Officer. All suitable members ha\ e been advised to con ider seriously accepting the obligations of l\lobile members. " In l\Iay last a member of No. 9 Ken Illgton ~ur ing Division, Mr '. Denise \Velman, gave a grand instance of pluck in risking her own life III an attempt to rescue a man \vho had fallen into the river at Twickenham. This bra\'e act \\as later recognized by the Royal Humane Society, by the awarding of theIr Certificate. " ::'luch thought has been given during the year to CompetitIOn work, the tramwg value of which is recognized throughout the Area. This Area was represented in all the events organized by '0. 1 District. \\Te are again able to tender our congratulations to Lady Supt. 1\1iss V. Baxter, No. 64 Ealing 1 ursing Division, \\ ho has for the third time led her team to success in the Brooks' Efficiency (Drill) Competition. It is with great regret that I have to report t.he passing of one of our Officers, Lady Divisional Supt. (Reserve) Miss Evelyn Hankey, of TO. 9 Eensington 'ursing Division , in March last. l\Iiss Hankey may be looked upon as one of the pioneers of our -ursing Divisions, having served the Brigade for a period of no less than 33 years, and V\ as generally respected throughout the Di trict. " Owing to the increase in the amount of work in the Area, it was found necessary to consider the appointment of an additional Staff Officer, and I am grateful to our Commissioner for the help he has afforded me in this direction. The appointment of Corps Officer F. E. Stratton, from o. 101 (Southern Railway Corps (Western) ) to the Staff of Western Area, as Area Secretary, was made in March. Corps Officer Stratton has since been promoted to District Officer, and he has already done some useful work in this Area. " The transfer of the Assistant Commissioner of Southern Area to the Staff of No. 1 District was 'the cause of some changes in staff which have affected this Area. Our Cou nty Surgeon, Capt. H. A. Fenton, who has given much time and thought

to the medic;)l side of our work, has been appointed to the post of District Surgeon, and carries in his new appointment the best wishes of all ranks in Western Area. The appointment of County Surgeon has been accepted by Divisional Surgeon G. R. H . \t\Trangham (Ealing) Division. "I must express my appreciation of the help afforded me by District Officer F. Claridge, who has throughout the year given many long hours to clerical work connected with this Area, and has also, in my name, inspected a number of Divisions alone, or h as accompanied me on similar duties. "Also to Robinia, Viscountess l\lountgarret, O.B.E., for her untiring work among the Tursing Divisions in this Area. Lady Mountgarret has personally inspected every Nursing Division in this Area and in addition has visited Divisions on other occasions. The efficiency of our Nursing Divisions ha.s undoubtedly been assisted by her very close attention to their welfare, for which I am truly grateful. " The loyal support of all Officers in the Area is also much valued, and has helped me considerably in my own work during the year. I tender my best thanks to all."

Copy for report from Assistant Commissioner Captain A. C. White Knox , M.e. (_ ·orthern Area) : " I have the honour to present my annual report on the work of Northern Area for the year 1934 . " I am pleased to report that the 'work of the Area is progressing smoothly and efficiently. All Divisions have made a strenuous effort to keep efficiency at a high standard, and this has resulted in a good many non-active members being struck off the strength. They have been more than made up for, however, by new members drawn from some very enthusiastic classes, and this has been specially the case in some of the outlying Divisions. " l.luch attention is still being paid to Drill, and I am convinced there is a distinct impro\'e ment all round. " On Inspection, Divisions are continually impressed on the importance of a smart appearance in public. " \Ye have, unfortunately, been unable to find an Editor for our Gazette, and this has had to remain in abeyance for the present. It is hoped to continue it again at the earliest opportunity. " The Area has been unfortunate in losing by illness and death some of its best Di\ i ional uperintendents. " Tho e who have taken up their work are to be congratulated on the fine efforts they are making to carry on the traditions of their Divisions. " I am pleased to report an increasing interest in the Cadet movement, and the formation of another new Division. These boys are doing fine work, and are a great credit to the parent Divisions and the Officers in charge of them. " My Area Staff, Dr. \ V. A. Rees, County Surgeon, Ur. C. T . Osborn, District Officer, and ilIrs. MacFadden, Lady District Officer, have supported me wholeheartedly in my work in the Area, and I tender them my grateful thanks. "A congenial and energetic Staff has made the work of the Area a real delight."

Copy of Ieport from Assistant Commissioner Dr. K. F. Lund (Central Area) :_ " I have the honour to submit my report on the work of Central Area for the year 1934 . ". The number of Ambulance Divisions has been increased 1:0 24 by the addition, dunng the year, of a Division formed in the City by members of the staff of Barclays Bank; the number of ursing Units is now 12, by the addition of a -ursing ection (shortly, \ve hope, to become a Division) in East London, where an Ambulance Cadet Division has also been formed, making a total personnel of 1,270 . " During the year 16 Service Medals and 19 Bars have been awarded, and the Order of St. John has promoted one Ofncer (Sister) to the rank of Commander (on retirement) and admitted one member as Serving Sister.

At the District Final Competitions held on 28th April, Central Area had the satisfaction of securing four of the Trophies. " The Annual Church Parade was held in June, at St. Clement Danes' Church, Strand, by the kindness of the Rector. The A sistant Chief Commissioner, the Secretary-General, the ssistant urgeon-in-Chief, Colonel \Voolrych Perowne, Lieut.-Col. F. A. Brooks, and other friend and supporters were presL:ni..

"Of the Divi ional Officers and the ?lembers under them, I cannot speak too highly \\ith regard to their keenness and efficiency. " Copy of report for District Officer G. C. Green, Public Dut,· Officer : " I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st December, 1934 " A \'ery pleasant feature is the harmonious \,"orking arrangement \\ hich CXbt between ourselves and No.8 (Duke of Connaught's) District. " On 24th June a number of our nurses and men accompanied three train loads of St. Martin Associates and ther friends to Folkestone and Cant rburv. The trains were met at Folkestone by officers and men from the local divlsion , who' aSSl ·ted in off-loading the trains as they arrived. Am.ong tho e neeclmg special attentIOn were twelve chair cases. Later in the day they helped to load twenty-one coaches for Canterbury, a number of them giving up their afternoon to travel with us. Un arrival at Canterbury Cathedral, we found officers and men of the anterbury Division waiting for us, who, together with the Folkestone men, rendered yeoman service in carrying the chair cases in their chairs up the steps into thc athcdral Choir. After the service they reloaded the coaches and on our return to Folke::;tone more men were waiting our arrival, who off-loaded the coaches anLl sa\\" the ch,llr cases safely on board the trains. " As 29th November was not a public holiday for the wedding of T H. H. Duke and Duchess of Kent, it was decided to ask the assistance of ... TO . ) Distnct once again. T~e d~ty lasted fr?m a.m . u?-til 5.30 p.m., thirty-eight stations bemg staffed twenty-eIght m the mormng and ten ill the afternoon. The 315 officers and men from o. 8 District were allocated to two stations near the Abbey and threc tation " in Piccadilly. \Ve had on duty during the day 1,700 all rank, about 250 being nurc::; . Also, posted along the routes, were twelve of our ambulances and seventcen from 0.8 District . The total number of recorded cases "as 1,500. Of these two hundr d were treated by No.8 District. At several stations the cases were so numerous that it was quite impossible to take all the names. "I am indebted to DjO H . J. 'W rigglesworth, of 1\0.8 Di trict, for hi verywilling and able co-operation during these two very strenuous days . "The regular duties such as Lord's Mayor's Day, 1\lay Day, etc., have been satisfactorily covered. " Armistice Day falling on a Sunday this year caused larger cro\vds than usual to gather in Whitehall, and our work 'was, consequently, much increased. \Ye hall over one thousand men and women on duty at the Cenotaph and local celebrations throughout the day. " Wimbledon Tennis Tournaments proved a very busy time for our personnel on duty, as not only were there many cases of collapse, but they had to deal with the outbreak of ' Wimbledon Throat '. " The many calls by the police for our services in Hyde Park and elsewhere have all been adequately covered, and I have been thanked personally on many occasions by the senior police officer on duty.

" In addition to the visit to Folkestone and Canterbury mentioned above, we have assisted the St. Martin Association at their annual Church Service at Tilford on 29th April, and the Pilgrimage to Belgium and the Somme Valley on 4th August whe~, ~.mfort~nately, one o~ the Associates had to be operated on for strangulated herma lmmedlately on landmg at Ostend. It is satisfactory to know that he made an excellent recovery and one of our ambulances conveyed him to his home from Victoria a fortnight later. " Also, .on the' Tight of Memories' held this year on 8th ovember, we had every avaIlable ambulance on duty to convey members to St. Martin's-in-the-Fields and from there to the Central Hall, Westminster, and later to their homes. On this occasion we were asked to take part in the Pageant of St. :Martin, our nurses and I!len symbolizing the' Spirit of Service'. The tremendous applause which greeted us will always be remembered and showed us very clearly that one section of the community, at least, appreciated the work we are doing. " There has been a considerable increase in the number of Sports Clubs seeking our help, and I am glad to report that several have sent donations to our funds thus showing their appreciation of our services. ' " The follow~ng are some of the more important duties performed, which have not been mentIoned already:British Industries Fair (Olympia and White City). International Horse Show. Radio Exhibition.

I am pleased to state that the present position shows that 64 per cent of the Divisions have undertaken preliminary in truction, and the majority of the residue will be covered during the early part of 1935 . ~pplications received .

" Throughout the period under review, I have enjoyed the very loyal as istance of tweh-e instructors, who ha\'e unstintingly conducted the \york at con. iderable acrifice, in addition to their normal Divisional Duties. Test work has called for the sen'ices of a number of the rank and file, to whom I am grateful for the arduous \york they ha\'e been called upon to perform . " The District, a a \\'hole, has demon::;trated a keen interest in this su bject, and the character of the questions directed at our Instructors indicates that the problem is being intelligently pursued." Copy for report from the Lady District uperintendent, :\Iiss Rideout, on Public Duty : " The very ready response from the Nursing Divisions to the many calls made on them for duties, sometimes at very hort notice, has enabled me to comply with all the requests made for the sen' ices of the Sisters, and in consequence my duty has been a very great pleasure. " The heavie t call of the year \yas undoubtcdly the occasion of the Royal \\?edding, and I was more than pleased with the way in \\'hich the ~ 'ursing Dl\ lsion. carried out their work, and the Lady Superintendent-ll1-CllJef. who vi::;it d a few of the Stations, expressed her satisfaction." Copy of report from Lady District Officer, Robinia, Yiscountess :\Iountgarret on Y .A. D .s : " At the end of 1934 \\'e had 40 Detachments registered at the \\'ar Offic.e \\ 1th a personnel of 985 members and Officer, out of which 1 1 have taken the :'Ioblle obligation. The new Detachments registered during the ycar \\'cre T\\'lckenham . Richmond, and \\'imbledon X ursing Divisions. " Thirty-six members took their eight days Cour e in a en'ice Hospital, and all received excellent reports, some being specially commended. " All Detachments were inspected by Officers sent by the \\'ar OIIice, and by the County Controllers, who expressed themsel\'es sati fied, and official sanction was given as to continuance. " \Ve have had a great many resignations during the year, some of which \\'ere due to removal from the District, marriage, and some ill-health, although a certain number have also been due to inefficiency. " I should like to have been able to report a bigger increase in numbers, but amongst the new enrolments are a great many younger members, who will, no doubt, be bringing their friends into the :'lovement. " I should like to express my thanks to the Assistant Commis ioners and Lady District Officers, who have helped me "ery greatly in putting the Y.A.D. movement before their Nursing Divisions, and have encouraged them to join on every possible occasion.' , O.B.E.,

M.R.C.S.-(3.3.32.)-

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year 1934 . In the County of Berkshire there are now 10 Ambulance Divisions, 4 .l ursing Divisions, 4 Cadet Ambulance Divisions, and 2 Cadet Nursing Divisions; the personnel being 350 men, 68 women, 99 boys, and 58 girls, making a total of 575 as compared with 518 in 1933. Two new divisions have been formed during the year-a ursing Division at Maidenhead and a Cadet Nursing Division at Didcot. ::.vIotor Ambulances were bought by the Bracknell Division and by the Didcot Division and very good work has been done by each of them. A challenge shield has been presented to the Didcot Division by ir Felix Pole to be competed for by teams of Brigade men in Berkshire. During the year I inspected each Division in the County and found them all in an efficient state. ::'Iy thanks are due to the officers and other members of the Brigade in Berkshire for the excellent way in which they have carried out their duties during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. G. OSBORN, County Commissioner.

::'IEADS, GREAT ::'IISSENDEN. 31st 1lJarch, 1935. THE CHIEF Co~nIISSlO;-';-ER, T. JOHN AlIlBULA TCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to report that there are 21 Ambulance Units with a strength 01 -197 and .l Tursing Units with a strength of 128, making a total of 625. Although there were 87 new enrolments during the year the net increase in comparison ,vith 1933 is only 5. For a dministrative purposes the County has been divided into two areas-Xorthern and onthern-each area "ith a County Surgeon and County Officer. The title of Slough and District Corps has also been changed to South Bucks Corps. First Aid has been rendered to 5,-l88 persons by members of the Ambulance and Tur ing Divisions. Motor Ambulances. The County fleet of motor ambulances has been augmented by two new Ambulances-one a "Commer" as a second Ambulance at High Wycombe; and one a " Morris" for a new station at Leighton Buzzard, the area of which includes Linslade and vYing. The old" Ford" Ambulance at Chalfont St. Peter has been replaced by a new" Bedford". The Home Service Ambulance CommiUee made a grant of £100 to each of these Ambulances to complete purchase. The Bourne End Division have purchased a second-hand Ambulance from the Henley Hospital. The fleet now consists of 16 motor ambulances for service in the County, each being operated and staffed by Divisions of the Brigade and administered in seven places by local Committees. During the past year these Ambulances conveyed 3,338 cases, 01 which 632 were road accidents, with a total mileage of 67,32-1. Compared with 1933 these figures show an increase of 611 cases , including an increase of 9 1 road accidents. Road Service.-This service continues to be undertaken during week-ends of the summer months and on Bank Holidays by members of the Brigade where such service has proved to be necessary, principally on the Bath Road from Colnbrook to Taplow, where on an average 75 accidents are dealt with each quarter by members of the South Bucks Corps.

A Medical omforls Depot is maintained by the Bletchley Tursing Division and one will shortly be opened at Aylesbury. A total of 3Rl attendances were made at Hospitals and Clinic '. Volunta1'Y Aid Detachments.-There are five \Yomen's Detachments formed from Tursing Divisions with a total personnel of 4 including 22 mobile members. The Inspecting Officers expressed satisfaction with the knowledge attain cd in the various V.A.D. subjects and all were recommended for continuance of \\'ar Office recognition. Cadets.- There are 8 Cadet Ambulance Divisions with a strength of 155 and 1 Cadet Nursing Division with a strength of 35, making a total of 190 Cadet.s, a reduction of 56 in compariso n with 1933 , but a number have t.ransferred to senior units. T wo Cadet Camps were held-the Boys at Pagham and the Girls at Selsey-during the August Bank Holiday week. I inspected these camps and found them to be well organized and efficiently run. I greatly regret to report the retirement of Colonel S. J. C. Holden as County Surgeon owing to ill health , the duties of which office he had loyally and efficiently carried out for the past 12 years. The grateful thanks of the Brigade are due to the Chairman, Alderman G. J . Thrasher, Committee, and Secretary of the Bucks County Centre for their financial support. I r ecord my sincere thanks to the County Staff and Superintendents for their valuable co-operation in the administration of the County; also to the Surgeons for the time they give and care they take in the necessary first aid instruction of units.

showing a decrease in numbers of 15 since 19.3 3. . . . This ,\'ould seem to indicate some slackenmg of lllterest III Ambulance work III the County; but such is not the cas~. The old-est.ablished Divisions. have carried out their work \\"ith increased enthUSIasm and effiClency; and the sllght decrease in numbers i chicfly due to a " weeding out" of incfficient members. _ A new Ambulance Division has been formed in Coleford, Forest of Dean , and it is hoped t.hat interest in Brigade work will be ~ti:n ulc~.te d amongst the many persons holding First Aid CertIficates of th~ AssocIatIOn III the Forest. A new Tur ing Division has been formed III Cheltenham, styled the Cheltenham entral Tursing Di"ision. . Thanks to the influence of the Hon . ]'.lrs. Talbot RIce and Lady County Officer Miss Faber a first aid class has been formed in Oddington, in connection "ith the \\'omen's I~ stitute. The class is being instructed by Dr. Leslie King, of Stow-onthc-\\'old , and the Cheltenham Nursing Di"isions are supplying demonstrators. I hope that this cla swill proyjde the nucleus of a Xursing Division in this rural area, hitherto untouched by the Brigade . . .

This is an increase of 40 in strength compared with last year, and we have added one Ambulance Division and one Cadet Di"ision. The Annual Inspection of all the Divisions, with the exception of the Banbury Division, was held on 10th July, on the Cricket Ground of New College, the \Varden having kindly given his permission . The Inspect.ing Officer ,,'as Lieut.-Colonel F. A. Brooks, ;-'1.D., whe:> stated in his report that" the Parade presented a smart appearance, and the umforms of both the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions were correct and in good condition. The men's drill was quite good, and the ~ursing Sisters applied the tnangular neatly and correctly". He \\'as particularly pleased with the smartness of the Cadets, and especially with the \yay the Cadet Girls did their bandaO"inO". In addressing the Parade he said" I am satisfied that the Brigade in Oxford~~e is in a very satisfactory condit.ion ". On Sunday, 1st July, I attended a Church Parade of the Banbury Division at Adderbury, when the Chaplain to the Division, Rev. A. L. E. \Yilliams, preacbed the sermon. After the sen'ice I inspected the Divisions, consisting of Ambulance 1\1en, Nursing Sisters, and Xursing Cadets, on the village green. The Parade turned out very smartly in good and correct uniforms, and the march past was done well. These Divisions still attain to the high state of efficiency which they have shown since their formation . . The Second Annual Dinner of ~he Oxford Corps was held on 8th February, when, III the absence of the Corps Superllltendent, Corps Officer J . Rogers was in the chair, and was supported by the ::'layor, 1\Iiss Tawney, who, in responding to the toast of her health, said that" she was sure that every citizen of Oxford felt grateful to the St. John Ambulance Brigade for its magnificent work". There were over 200 present and the evening proved to be a great success. ' The County Competitions were held this year at \¥oodstock on 24th l\Iarch, when five teams entered and the "Vest Oxford Division came out first. Drs. Bevan and Brigg acted as judges. The \Voodstock Division kindly provided tea for all ~hose wb? w.ere taking J?~rt in the work. The winning team represented the County III the DIstnct CompetItIon for the Dewar Shield. . Th~ O?,-fo~d Cadet Di"isions, both Ambulance and Nursing, again accepted the kllld lllvltat.IOn of the Slough and. Reading .Cadets to join them in a week's camp at H erne Bay and Sels~y respectI:'ely, which they all thoroughly enjoyed. The boys won .the Sports Shi~l~ ~t theu. camp. Subsequently I had a good report of the be.havIOur of both DIVISIOns while they were in camp. Dunng the year 2,371 cases of accident or sudden illness were treated by members of the Ambulance. and .Nu.rsing Divisions; and 193 Hospital attendances were made by the Nurslllg DlvlslOns.

His funeral on 26th Nov.ember was attended by me.mbers of the Brigade from all parts of the County, his fello~ C?rps Officers actmg as bearers. I sincerely thank all members in the County for theu kind tokens of sympathy to my wife, daughter, and self. Count V Conference. - On Sunday, 10th June, at the Town Hall, Weston-super-Mare (kindly loaned by the Urban District Council), we held our second County ~(:mference of Officers. This was attended by thirty-six Officers, and all but two DlvlslOns were repre 'ented. County competitions, re-examinations, inspec~ions, .:flag-days, Coun~y rally, etc., were debated and dates fixed. Many useful dlscuSSlOns took place ~ the interest of Brigade work generally, and another conference fixed for 14th April, 1935 . In surveying the work for the past year, I feel it has been a very successful one. ~ot a single failure to turn out for emergency, or oth.er calls, ~~s been reported, and so far as I can gather the Police and other publ~c authontIes are perf~ctly satisfied with the service given by members of the Bngade. In fact, so s~tIsfied that I have received an application for a Police Division to be formed, Wlth the Chief Constable of the City to act as Divisional Superintendent and composed of 98 members. This will be dealt with in my next r eport. Ambulances .-Sixteen ambulances are now being run by the Brigade in the County. A new ambulance has just been dedicated at Clevedon, and a great effort is being made to replace the old ambulance at Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea. Cases Altended.- The 1'eported cases attended during the past year by members are 7 3-i0 but I feel sure if members were not so modest, and took the trouble to note a~d ;eport all cases, the total would be much higher. ~Iembers of tlTsing Divisions attended 153 removals by motor ambulances. I wish to see this part of the work extended. R emovals.-By a strange coincidence the cases removed are the same as for 1933, but I regret to note III more persons have been injured and removed by members during 193-i than the previous year.

SIR, I have the honour to present my report for the year ended 31st December, 1934. All Divisions have been inspected by me in company with my County Officer, and we were greatly impressed by their smart appearance on parade. The preliminary competition for the Oxo Cup Competition was h eld at Trowbridge, where the Ushers Division had made most complete arrangements for holding it, and a most successful and educational afternoon was spent. E,-ery Divi ion \\-as represented and Swindon again won the competition and represented \Yiltshire at Bristol in the competition proper. The Ushers Division again won the l\Iarguerite Rose" up for the best cor e in the individual tests in the competitions annually held at Trowbridge. The Medical Comforts Depot run by the Swindon Ambulance and 1. Tursing Divisions, is now housed in a building, lent by the \\-indon Corporation, at the back of the Town Hall. 1embers are on duty every night and the varioH' articles stocked are much in demand and have served to bring the activities of the Dri.gatle further to the fore. Both of these Di,-i ions continu e to do excellent w ork in sick nursing as per paragraphs 7 and of General Regulations. The public of windon generally enthusiastically support the bYO Divisions and their finances are in a thoroughly h ealthy state. The Box Division continue to do excellent work in Road Patrol and the alisburv Division is now fully recognized by the local authoritre'. This sati -factory state of affairs is largely due to the effort of Supt. l-ixon, the Chief Constable of 'ahsbury, v,ho is their Superintendent. My County Officer, :;\1r. Sinnett ( .B .), has again rendered me \-aluable help, and the Divisional Surgeons are very keen on the work and the excellent result shown in the competitions prove the soundness of the instru ction they impart to their re 'peetive Divisions.

First aid was rendered to 2,087 persons which, compared with 98-! cases in 1933, shows an increase of 1,103. It will be observed from the foregoing that there has been a good increase in the personnel and in the amount of work carried out during the past year.

The Luton and, I?unstable Amb~ance and ursing Divisions continue to carry out duty at the Vi· hlpsnade Zoo dunng the summer months. The l\1edical Comforts Depot ~stablished and maintained by the Luton ursing Division has proved itself of conSIderable value and is being most efficiently run. :\1y grateful thanks are due to County Officer W.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

OF LEICESTER. 158, ASHBY ROAD, LOUGHBOROUGH 12th Febl'lwry, 1935.

SIR,

. I have.the hon<:>ur to sub.mit my ~nnual Report for 1934 and have much pleasure m reporting a satisfactory mcrease m both the number of Divisions formed and the total personnel. The following units have been registered during the year ;_ " Lady Oliver" ursing Division. South Wigston Ambulance Division. Stoney Stanton Ambulance Section. Belgrave Cadet Ambulance Division. Wigston Cadet Ambulance Section. The strength of the Brigade in the County at the end of 1934 was 1,436, an increase of 61 on the figures for 1933. Inspections.-I inspected the .J: orth Leicester Divisions at hurch Gresley on Sunday, 17th J un~, when ~ tot~l .of 255 Officers, len and ursing isters paraded on the Lea Memonal Park III brilhant sunshine. The Inspection followed a Church Parade held in the morning. All the members on Parade presented an exceedmglv smart turn-ou t, and the fact that many of them had left their homes before nin'e o'clock in the morning proves how keen they are in the fulfilment of their duties. The Ambulanc~ and. ursing Divisions in the Leicester Corps, numbering 519 Officers, Men and Nurs~g SIsters, paraded in the Leicester City Tramways Bus 'tation on Thursday evenmg, 26th June, and were inspected by Lt.-Colonel F. A. Brooks, M.D., who commented upon th~ .smartness of the uniforms and in particular the correctness and ex~ellent CO~dl~l<:>n of the pouches. The remaining Divisions in the County were mspected llldlVldually, as It was not convenient for them to join in the com bined Inspections this year. Public Duties.-Many increased applications were received for the services of Members, but I am very pleased to say the strength proved adequate to meet all demands. Road Accidents.-350 patients injured in road accidents have been removed to Hospital or home. First Ai~ has been rendered on 31,265 occasions, a large increase on last year's figures, which proves that an enormous amount of good work is being done. Transport.-The number of patients conveyed by the 12 motor ambulances amounted to 8,903, and the mileage totalled 78,278. At Market Harborough and

No. III

(EASTERN) DISTRICT.

Church Gresley the Ambulance Service is wholly maintained on a voluntary basis, where a day and night service is given by Brigade Members. Compctitions.-The District Finals were this year held at Leicester, when Vaughan College and l\litchell and Butler's teams proved to be the winn.ers .of t.he " Perr:ott" and "Dewar" rounds respectively, and represented the DIstnct III the Flllals. The Leicester Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association very kindly provided tea for the Judges, Competitors and Stewards, and the Officers of the Leicester Ambulance and Nursing Divisions gave valuable assistance in connection with the organization of t.he Compet.itions, which I am confident contributed in no small measure to the success of the day. Road Patrols.-This important branch of our work is being steadfastly maintained and I feel sure it has done much to mitigate the consequences of accidents. I raise is due to the Members of the Fleckney Xursing Section who, although only formed in 1933, have lost no time in striving to provide Headquarters, and their efforts have now been rewarded. On 3rd November a building erected for their use was officially opened by Lady County Officer :'lEss G. E. Partridge. The Donisthorpe Colliery Division bope to equip a ~Iedical Comforts' Depot at their Headquarters very shortly. The entire cost of this Medical Comforts' Depot will be defrayed by the generosity of their President and Vice-President, Lady J. Turner and ~Ir. Stanleigh Turner. This Depot will meet a long-felt need in their neighbourhood. ProlJlotions.-The County Staff has been augmented by the appointments of Lady County OffIcers Miss G. E. Partridge, Hon. Serving Sister, and Mrs. J. V. Hescltine; also County Officer Captain C. R. Knighton, Hon. Serving Brot.her, and County Officer A. E. Atkins. These promotions have received general approval in the ounty. Lady County Officer ~1iss N. Hardie Jackson, who did much good work for the :Nursing Divisions, has been transferred to tbe County of Devon, where she lIas been resic1ing for several years. SerVIce Awards.-Eight members qua1i£ed for the Service :Medal; 14 received 1st bar. ; six gained 2nd Bars, and one I\Iember his third Bar, thus completing 30 years' efficient service-a fine record. In concluslOn I acknowledge my indebtedness to all Officers, men, nurses, and cadets through whose co-operation so much good work has been done. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEO. F. BROWNE, County Commissioner for Leicestershire and Rutland. COU TIlES

As indicating the value put on our services by the Hospitals' Contributory Association, of which body Colonel Ford, the Assistant Commissioner, is Chairman, I may quote from a letter received from the Secretary of that body after their Annual Meeting. "The mem hers of this Association assembled at the fourth Ordinary General Ieeting held on \Vednesday evening last, desired me to express to you tbeir keen appreciation of the invaluable co-operation so readily afforded by the officers and members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and Nursing Corps throughout the year, and I am desired to convey to you, and through you to all concerned, their gratitude for, and appreciation of, the valued services performed by all concerned in connection with the maintenance of the Ambulance Fleet throughout the year. " The fact that the Ambulance service has been maintained in such an efficient manner, despite the continually increasing demands made upon it, is proof illustrative of the fact that the services rendered to the Association are in accordance with the high ideals of the Order of St. John, and in placing on record the Association's indebtedness for these services I am to state that my Committee, no less than the other citizens of Birmingham, appreciate the beneficent work which your Association is carrying on for the benefit of the community." Blood Transfu sion.-A number of donors who are members of the Brigade have again assisted the Birmingham Blood Transfusion Committee by supplying blood for Hospital patients. r1nnual Inspection.-This was carried out in July when some 600 officers and men, as well as a number of ursing Detachments, were inspected by yourself and Miss M. ethbridge, C.B.E., the St.aff Officer to the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, in the grounds of the Birmingham University, by kind permission of the Senate. Corps Inspections.-These were inspected, each Corps separately, by the Assistant Commissioner and myself, assisted by the County Staff. Flag Day.-This was again organized by County Officers Elliott and Kingsnortb, as isted by the Divisional Officers and 1 ursing Corps. It was a great success, over £700 being realized, indicating the value which the Birmingham public places on the services of the Brigade. Church Parades.-The County Church Parade was held at St. Martin's Church by kind permission of the Rev. Canon Guy Rogers, Rector of Birmingham. A large attendance of lT1en and nurses filled the church. A Surgeons' T ea was also held at which matters relating to the medical work of the Brigade were discussed and the County and Corps Surgeons met one another and the Divisional Surgeons of the Ambulance and ursing Di,isions. N.C.O. Camp.-A week-end Camp was held by the .C.O.s of the Birmingham County at techford in August under Corps Sergt.-Major Drew (" B " Corps). It was attended by 26 N .C. O.s . Practice in methods of Transport and Ambulance \york was undertaken and was a most useful opportunity for I.C.O.S to make themselves more efficient and so be in a position to impart their knowledge to their members . The Camp was visited by the County Commissioner and by County Officers Ballard and Elliott. The ground was kindly lent by the Boys' Brigade. The Nursing Corps has again rendered most ,-aluable work with the Ambulances and many long journeys to distant parts of the country have been undertaken with satisfaction to all concerned. In conclusion, I must express my most grateful thanks to all my officers and other ranks who have worked most loyally and devotedly during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HE TON VVRITE, Captain, County Commissioner, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John

One Unit. was disbanded during the year, viz: Croston Nursing Division. Cases treated during the year :--15,976. I am pleased to record a decided increase in both Cadet Ambulance and Cadet K ursing personnel. Road Palrols.-This very important public work is increasingly being undertaken by Divisions of t.his Dist.rict, and I am glad to state that there has been an increase in thc mileage patrolled, and that the personnel engaged in this work has been much enlarged during the past year : 4,167 Number of miles patrolled 3,765 .J: umber of Officers and Men on duty 9,380 Iumber of Lady Amb. Officers and Sisters on duty 156 Number of Cadets on duty 715 umber of days on which duty done 562 umber of cases treated During the year new First Aid Road Huts were opened at Tyldesley, \Varton, and on the new East Lancashire Road near Li\-erpool, which makes a total of 18 Road Huts and one Tent in the Dist.rict. Public Duties.-A steady increase in the amount of public duty has been recorded during 1934, and many Units have carried out a record number of duties performed. I cannot. praise t.oo highly the zeal and enthusiasm shown by so many members in performing these duties, which in many cases involve very considerable sacrifices of t.ime and money, and are often carried out under uncomfortable conditions. Amongst the major duties were : Bolton Corps.-Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society's Show, at Bolton, from 2nd to 6t.h August. Annual Roman Catholic Procession, 27th May, when 162 men and 77 nurses of Bolton Corps were on duty and attended to 34 cases.

:!lIanchester and alford Corps.-The visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen to Manchester on 17th July to open the new Central Library placed a duty of especial importance on the members of the Manchester and alford orps, who found it necessary to supplement their strength by personnel of Divisions outside the Corps . The length of the Royal route necessitated the e tablishment of a large number of Fir t Aid tat ions and, by good organization, it was found possible to despatch members from one portion of the route to another as soon as the Royal visitors had passed. Th e cases attended n umbered 1,7 -1 8. LivB1'pool Corps.-In addition to the many duties carried out normally by the Liverpool Corps, 193-1- provided one of exceptional magnitude on the occasion of the , -is it of Their Majesties the King and Queen to Liverpool in connection with the opening of the nc'\- lHersey Tunnel, " The Queensway," on \\'ednesday, 1 th July. In view of the large assemblage of the public which was expect.ed, Liverpool Corps invited thf' assistance of Southport. and Litherland orps, together with vVaterloo Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, and some idea of the ervice rendered may be gained from the fact that 1,175 cases were treated during the day. The festivities and functions in connection ,,,it.h the opening of the new tunnel extended from 15th to 21 t July, and in that period no Ie s than 2,121 cases of accident and illness were attended by the Brigade. Iany tributes to the " 'ork of the Brigade were recei,-ed from civic leaders and others. Royal Fisit.-On the morning of 1 th July, Their ~Iajesties the King and Queen drove from Lowton Junction to Liverpool alon.g the new Ea t Lanca hire Road to Liverpool, where His l\lajesty formally declared the road op n. The following Divisions performed duty along the Royal Route : St. Helens, Haydock, Tyldesley, Leigh, Prescot. , and 'wint.on and Pendlebury, and 75 cases of illness and accident were treated by the e Units. Whit Week P,'ocessions in III a·nchestel'.-.\.s in past years, the :,Ianchester and Salford Corps carried out First Aid '\-ork in connect.ion wit.h these processions, and 172 cases were reported a being treated. Unemployed IIIarch . -On the t.h February, some -1-00 unemployed men from Scotland, Ireland, and Northern England reached Manchest.er on theIr way to London. Assistance was asked from the Brigade and the members of the ~Ianchester and Salford Corps were enabled to render needed assist.ance to 1-1-2 cases. Football Matches.-At all tbe largely attended football matches in Lancashire the various Corps and Di,-i ions of this District perform duty, and in places uch a~ Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester, etc., many cases received attention at each match On 3rd March, at the match between :,Ianchester City and Stoke City, at )'Ianchester, the public attendance v.as giYen as -1-,569, constituting a record outside London and Glasgow. On this occasion the Brigade members on duty recorded 165 cases as haying received attention. REVIEWS AND INSPECTIONS.

This shows one detachment more than last year but a decrease in members of 19, due to the age limit. Now that the Mobile age limit has been increased to 45 years, I am hoping for increased numbers. I have t.he honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. TWEEDALE.

General.-In endeavouring to sum up the result.s of 193-4 in this District, I am pleased to record a steadily increasing efficiency. throughout t.he area. In the efforts to secure higher standards I deSIre to very gratefully acknowledge the work of my District Staff, 'whose unremitting zeal and energy have done so much to bring the District to its present state. .. Pro2Tess has been made in all directions, and alt.hough difficult.Jes are bound to occur in this, as in other organizations, the enthusiasm and keenness of all ranks surmounts obstacles that may at first sight appear insuperable. The amount of public duty that has been performed in 1934 reached very large dimensions, and whilst some of the larger duties call for great.er nu.mbers an~ more detailed organizations, I am satisfied that the .sr;naller ones ar~ carned out WIth the same careful attention and regard to the tradIt.Jons of t.he Bngade. At the time of writing, the District strength has reached the 10,000 mark, a v.ery satisfactory state of affairs in view of the ever increasing demands upon the servIces of the Brigade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen.·ant, \V1\1. G. SMITH, Commissioner, o. 4 (LancashUe) District Commander of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

New Divisions.-A new Ambulance Division has been formed at Sale and new Nursing Divisions at Hazel Grove and Ellesmere Port.

The " 'ork generally has been well maintained and there is a strong desire to attain a general improvement. The Ambulance Transport at Cheadle Heath has acquired an additional motor ambulance, has cQ"l:ered 18,117 miles and cont.inues to render excellent service which is highly appreciated by the community as well as by the Joint County Committee of the Red Cross ·ociet.y and Order of St. John. This unit. \'olunt.eered their services and, at the request of the Chief Constable of heshirc, were inst.rumental in collecting over 100 Fire Extinguishers and transported them t.o the Gresford Colliery Disaster. I am pleased to state t.hat steady progress has been made throughout the County, and it IS a pleasure to all to reflect on the amount of pain and suffering that has been mininuzed by the sen'ices rendered by the members of the Brigade, a fact which is becoming more and more recognized by the community generally. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, \ V. CHALONER, County Commissioner for Cheshire.

THE CHIEF 0 1!1IlSSIO~ER, ST, J OH~ A;\IBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

COUNTY OF CHESHIRE. 12, ST. PETER'S SQUARE, STOCKPORT. 6th March, 1935 . THE COMMISSIONER, ST . JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have pleasure in submitting to you my Annual Report for 1934 . I have forwarded under separate cover the r eturns for the year ended 31st December, 193-4, as per lists attached thereto. The copy of the Annual Inspection was forwarded to you by the Inspecting Officer, Assistant Commissioner C. H. Fowler Jones, who took the Inspection in the absence of Col. C. J. Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., v.~., -r:.D., L.R.C.P. The number of absentees is smaller than last year, but there IS still room for Improvement. This year I am arranging for all Units to hold their Annual Inspections at their Headquarters, thus doing away with travelling expenses which will be a financial relief for those suffering from unemployment. I have arranged for each Unit to be visited at work and drill during their training season. Road Patrol.-I am at present establishing Road Patrols throughout the County and hope in the near future to co-operate in this work with all Units surrounding the County.

I have the honour to submit to you my Report on the above Counties for the year ended 31st. December, 1934 . The trength of the respective Counties is as follows : Westmorland. CU'mberland. Xo. Strength. No. Strength. Ambulance Divisions 3 77 9 262 I\ursing Divisions 2 32 5 89 Cadets (Ambulance) 2 25 1 23 Cadets (Nursing) 1 15 1 15 Total

149

389

\~rith the County Staff of 5, the total numbers are 5-13, being an increase of 11 ; this is largely accounted for by the increase in the personnel of the Cadet Di\isions '"hich reaches 40; the Ambulance Divisions have lost 23 members and the Nursing Divisions 3. There has been some judicious pruning throughout the Adult Divisions so that in a large measure the Units have been strengthened by the removal of those who were not good workers; an effort has been made to construct the Divisions on a working establishnlent rather than a paper one, and for this purpose the rule that two yea,rs' non-efficiency entails an automatic retirement is decidedly helpful. There has been a new Cadet Nursing Division established at Egremont; otherwise there has been no change in the Unit establishment.

THE

T. J OHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

The geographical situation in these two Counties makes travelling a very considerable item, but during this year an arrangement has been co me to whereby the Divisions in the northern half of Cumberland have been in the im.mediat.e care of the Assistant Commissioner whilst those in 'Vest Cumberland have been supervised by a ounty Officer; thus each area has been able to be kept. in touch with a Staff Officer who is more or less in the immediate vicinity and the plan seems to have been successful; I am grateful to these Officers for their helpful a sistance. There has been a con iderable amount of good work done in the way of re cue work in the mountain di tricts, and Am.bleside Division was awarded a vote of thanks from the Order for their special work in t.his line; the Borrowdale ection of the Keswick Division ha also distinguished itself in t.his particular manner. The Motor Transport ,york has been well carried out and upwards of 13 ,000 miles have been traversed for this purpose; this does not include what has been done by the Kendal Municipal Ambulances which are staffed from the Eendal Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. Cockermouth and Kendal supply -to ' ". A .D.s, of "hich 3 only are :'IIobile members , and Arlecdon, leator 1\100r, and \\'hitehaven contribut.e -to men to t.he ilI.H .R. In the laden Competition, Kendal Ambulance \\'o n t.he , hield and I\:endal Cadet Ambulance the Banner; this competition is only open to \\'estmorland . In the Counties' Tursing Competition, l~endal took the "Collinson" Cup for team work and Ambulance Sister E. Lumley of Kendal the" ockill" up for individual merit. In the Di trict Competitions , Ambulance ister E. Lumley secured the Lylham Yase for l\ursing efTiciency. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen"ant, \Y. BARO~ COCKILL, Lieut.-Col.

DISTRICT.

mULA CE BRIGADE.

The work of the Brigade in this District is well maintained and all duties have been sympathetically and most efficiently performed. . On the la t occasion I went into general matters at some length . As prachcally the same tate of affairs not only obtains, but has been extended, I do not propose to d eal so much with d etail. Parades.-The out tanding eyent of the year wa the yi it of the hief ommissioner on 2nd June " 'hen he in 'pect.ed oyer a thousand members II?- t.~e ground~ of T mple Tewsam, Leed. ir John was accompanied by the omml.SlOn r, .Asslst.ant . Co~nmis ioners Else and \ Ye t-\Yatson, t.he District Surgeon and the Lady Dlstnct Superintendent. . , ~, North Lincoln hire Units paraded at Tatnsborough 111 the afternoon of bt.h Jul) for In pection by A sist.ant Commissoner 01. Fisher, O.B.E., TY.,. :11.]) , accompamed by Assistant ommissioners Arm trong and Cham~e~s and Dlst.nct 'urgeon Horan. In the mornin a a Church Parade was held at t.he 1 ansh Church. . \Ye are indebted to the O / C 5th Battalion Lincoln hire Regiment for the sen Ic es of their Band. On the 22nd July the S.E. Area of Yorkshire para,de on Donca~~er Racecourse numbered 1,715 all ranks, 0·7 per cent of the Area st.rength. IIle ~Iay?r an.cl l\layoress of Doncaster accompanied .Assistant ommiSSlOner Dr. lluey dunng hiS Inspection. . . rr On Sunday, the 3rd June, I lDspected the outh Ltn~olnshlre .\rea at , paldlO b · The local Divi ion acted as hosts-all ranks \\'e re entertaJlled. I3efore the Inspect.lOn there \yas a Church Parade at the Parish hurch . I was delighted with the Parade and the Inspection. Korth Derbyshire paraded at Chesterfield on the 29th July, 90 strong. The drill was excellent, as were uniforms and equipment. At the close of the proceedings the combined bands and drums of the 't.a\'eley Corps marched past, and were greeted with loud applause by the specta.tors. I t.ook this Inspection accompanied by Staff Officers. Four Derbyshire Diyi ions, unable to be present at Chest.erfield, were inspec ted by the Chief of taff at Chapel-en-Ie-Frith on 12th .\ugust. . . . A thousand members paraded at Burton-on-Trent and were glY n. a CI\'IC recepho?-. The :;\layor spoke in mo t excellent term of the work o~ the I3ngade, a' also did several Aldermen and Councillors. I took the InspectlOn accompaOled by my Chief of Staff. I inspected the Sheffield Corps on 15th September. The parade was in charge of Corps Superintendent Hamer Russell, !ll.P., and as usual I found t.he 'o rps up to standard. Camps of Instrllction.-The District Camp at carborough was held eluring \Yhitweek and was well attended. Again I haye to congratulate .\ ssl'tant ommlSSloner H . C. Else, the Commanding Officer. I inspected this camp. It is an Ideal camp of Instruction. The Doncaster CoUeries Association Corps and DiYisions held their camp at; Blackpool with Corps Supt. J . H. Allcock in command. I inspected this camp on the 14th September, and again everything was eminently satisfact.ory. In the ab ence of the l\1ayor of Blackpool the Deputy l\1ayor was with m.e during my Inspect.lOn and afterwards entertained the Officers in the l\Iayor's Parlour. This is a well-managed camp and r eflects much credit upon the CamI? Commandant and his ~mp tall . The Bolsover Colliery Corps Camp was agam held at Rhyl and was m -pected by Assistant Commissioner Chambers \.\'ho reported satisfactorily. The Sheepbridge Division held their customary camp at Cromford \~' ith District Officer Goodwin, I.B.E., in charge. This is a good little camp. It was mspected on my behalf by Assistant Commissioner Chambers.

First Aid Cases.-In the case of colliery accidents particularly, many long distance removals take place, necessitating our men having the care of patients for one or two hours before they can hand o\.-er to the doctors. Typical of the work our Ambulances are doing throughout the District. Extract from a newspaper : "Pontefract Ambulance Service. Time 11 ,30 p.m. H ello is that Pontefract ISS-Police calling-Yes--speaking-l\lotor smash at - - Cross RoadsAmbulance wanted-Right, be there in a few minutes-Extension line He~lo~ Motor smash at - - Cross Roads- turn out at once call for me. I ext mornmg s

n ewspaper, t A serious collision occurred last night at - - between two motor cars. The injured were removed to the Infirmary.' " Yery lit.tle is known or said about the quiet, effective work so carried out. Road Service Duty.-Additional units have taken up this particular duty and consequently the number of cases dealt with has increased considerably. One of my smallest Divisions reported 75 cases. Too much praise cannot be accorded the members of the Brigade who give up their leisure for this service. Their mere presence in uniform in my opinion acts as a det.errent against reckless motor driving.

JIedical Comforts Depots -Our Depots continu e their most efficient work. Lincoln

~ur sing Di\'ision has taken over the Lincoln D epot at their H eadquarters.

Blooet Tran sfusion Se1'vice.-Thi

service increases and many calls are made on

I3rig<1cie \. olunteers.

COl11pelilioJls.-Th ese are far too numerous to give at length. I may, however, mention that the South Lincolnshire Area Shield ,vas this year won by Stamford \\'ith ~ palding one mark behind, and, tamford repeated last year's double by again winmng the" Lambert hield " at Lin coln. Xlii si nf{ DWt SIO IlS . -I am indebted to my Lady District Superintendent for her \york on the " -o men 's side. She and the Lady District Officers are very closely in touch \~ith all Xursing LJnits in the five Counties . ::\1rs. Birkbeck's report is mteresting, especially as regards Hospital Duty, and I attach it. - ~ orth ' tafford hire Units haye been reorganized on a Corps basis and show an increased personnel of 211. PlIbhc DlIties.-Periodically every theatre and cinema haye had a regular and complete mghtly sen'ice, and amongst other duties have been the Stoke City Fat t.ock how, the Hanley Park Fetes, the Staffordshire Agricultural Show, and the many Lord ,,\layors' and ::-layors ' i\-ic Parades. ~ly thanks arc due to the proprietors of theatres and cinemas and Commanding Officers [or the use of Territorial Drill Halls. Di\'isional 'uperintcndent John Barker, of Burley in ,Yharfedale Diyision, has been granted a ertificate of lIonour for conspicuous bravery in XO\-ember. Supt. Barker entered a sump full of poisonou gas and got an unconscious fellow workman out and r suscitated him aiter nearly half an hour 's artificial respiration. JIolor .1mblllaJlces.-.\1l our motors supply a felt want in their localities and samples of t.heir work are : 2 .\mbulan ces, 2 ,336 cases, 18,62'+ miles. 1 139 oJ, 26 1 455 ,256

Police.-,Yith the \\'holehearted support of Capt. T. Ra\\'son a Corps of 250 strong has been raised among the members of the Bradford City Police. SeYeral new Headquart.ers haye been opened during the year, among them being Bradford and Bingley . It was my pleasure to perform the opening cer emony at Bradford accompanied by Assistant om missioners Col. catterty and Dr. \Vest, Yatson and the Di trict Surgeon. The Lord l\1ayor and the Lady ::\Iayoress of Bradford attend d. The required re-examinations ha\-e been held as usual and a ll Corps and Divisions have been inspected and yisited frequently by Staff Officers. This always obtains notwithst.anding the big re,·iews. The Ambulance Officers Annual Dinner \\'as held at heffield on 17th ::-1arch, the Mess President presiding, supported by the Commissioner and Staff. In conclusion may I say that there is not a poor Diyision in the District and some are exceptionally good. The discipline and general efficiency is all that can be desired. ::-1y thanks are extended to a ll ranks for their support. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant,

The present strength of the Brigade in the two Counties is ; Northumberland. Durham. Ambulance Divisions 797 2,251 ursing Divisions 25-i 354 Cadets (Boys) 84 188 adets (Girls) 83 Grand Total (including County Staff); 4,026. The net increase in personnel is 35. Although the net increase is small, I venture to think you will consider the number of new units registered satisfactory. The accretion of strength has unfortunately been almost nullified, in the first place by the usual loss owing to non-efficiency and other causes, but more particularly by the large number of members who have " Left the District". TO dOll bt the loss due to the latter cause was inevitable in view of the industrial conditions. It is with much regrct that I record the passing of the late Dr. James Anderson, M.A ., lIi D.- x-Assistant Commissioner- who, for a very long period, gave \vholehearted services to the Ambulance movement, and to the end continued his intimate int rest JI1 Association and Brigade work in the County.

" St.orey" up, awarded on similar lines to the" Robert Anderson" Cup, is held by Y.P.J. i\ursing Division (Hull Corps) and \\'estern Nur ing Di\'ision (Newcastleon-Tyne Corp). These two Divisions again tied for first place. On the 22ncl ] uly I had the pleasure of officially opening a road hut at Rushyford, County Durham, pro\'ided through the efforts of the Chilton Colliery Division, and staffed by that unit. A onfcrence of Officers \\'as held on 27th October, at which there ;.yas a very sab factory attendance. This was followed by a Dinner at the Royal Station Hotel, \\'hen we were honoured by thc presence of the Deputy Lord :\layor and Deputy Lady;,layoress (and later in the evcning by the Lord Mayor); the Chief Constable; the President of the local Centre, Sir Thomas Oliver, lII.A., 1Il.D., LL.D., D.SC.; the Chairman of the Centre, ]. T. Batey, Esq.; the R ev. H. G. Hastings-Shaddick, Chaplain of the Order; the Chairman of the Freemen, ]. R. Andrews, Esq., and many other distinguished guests. It \\'as most gratifying also to be honoured on this occasion by the presence of the Secretary-General of the Order, Major-General Sir Percival \ Yilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B., who, being in the North at that time, "ery lundly accepted an invitation at very hort notice to be present. The Annu81 Inspections of all Units have been carried out during the year and the good standard of \\'ork sho\\'n, and the ready response to all calls for Public Duty, gives proof, I think, of a satisfactory effort to maintain the best traditions of the Order. I wish to place on record my thanks to the Officers of the County Staff, to all Corps and Divisional Officers, and other ranks who have helped to maintain the services of the Brigade in this area. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient sen'ant, STANLEY ElIlBLETON, County ommlSSlOner for Iorthumberland and Durham, Commander of the Order of St. ] ohn of ] erusalem.

Obitua1'y.-Dr. D. R. Moir, Divisional Surgeon, N'orth-'Vest Ambulance Division, Hull Corps, died on 15th October. For 32 years he had been an efficient and active worker and his death means a great loss to our work in Hull and IIessle. He was an Honorary Associate of the Order. Honours.-In January, 1934, a warehouse collapsed in Hull, burying six men who lost their lives. A seventh man 'w as trapped and Dr. H. E. \\'aHs-\Vaters, Divisional Surgeon, Reckitt's Nursing Division, Hull Corps, scramblcd over the debris to the man and at great risk of being crushed by a further fall of masonry administered an ancesthetic and amputated the foot, thus saving the man's life.

During the year the Darlington Divi ion opened its third Hul (o~ ~he DarlIngton-Stockton road , at adberge) and the Middle brough Central DIVISion 1l1stalled its second (on the Iiddlesbrough Redcar trunk road), thus making a total of nine in the Riding. A tenth Hut will be opened very shortly. 159 Road ccidents have been attended, with a mileage for removal of 1,2, .i, 96 cases have been removed, with a mileage of 7,414, to which the Eston DivislOn Ambulance contributed 4,977 miles. Five motor ambulances are operated by Divisions and there are three :'ledicaJ Comforts Depots. . . . . During the year the \Vhitby Ambulance and 1 Turs1l1g Dl\"l:,lOns, after most commendable efforts, purchased an old Mission Room at a cost of nearly t7no, and it was opened free of debt by Dr. 1 Corbet Fletcher, .\ssislant un:~(>on·m Chief. The building houses the two Divisions and the :'Iedical Comforts Depot and has Lecture Rooms, Stores, and all conveniences for an almost ideal he[ldquarters. It is difficult to speak too highly of the work and enthusiasm put in by the Officers and members in carrying through this project. The Eston Di"ision, at a cost of over £50, erected a garage and .\mbulance Station. Here the ambulance is housed and a telephone installed in the Orderly Hoom With attendance throughout the whole of each day. A new Ambulance Division was enrolled during the year under the title of the Darlington Friendlv Societies Division. At the No.6 District Competitions, the 1\Iiddlesbrough Cenlral won the Yorkshire Challenge Shield. A course of lectures on " Gas Warfare Defence" was given at J.\Iiddiesbrough during the autumn by arrangement with the County Controller of V.A.D .s, and at the succeeding examination 17 men and 8 women passed. The members of the Divisions continue to respond, with the utmost willingnes to the increasing d emands for public duty, and our relations with the police are most satisfactory. My Indian tour, referred to last year, extended over ~he first two months of.193-t, and I repeat my gratitude to the two Officers who carned on my work so effiCIently during mv absence. I am constantly impressed, when visiting Divi~ions, by the spirit that exists throu ghout the Area. Such voluntary service can only be carried on when this spirit of self-sacrifice permeates all ranks, and Officers and members alike continue to maintain the traditions of the Order and to support me most loyally .

The Chief Commissioner, St. john Ambulance Brigade. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1934. The strength at the close of the year was as follows : Officers and Men Lady Officers and Ambulance Sisters Boy Cadets Girl Cadets

292 159 55 32 538

These figures show a net increase of 54. There has been a slight. falling off in the nursing numbers, but in the case of the men and in cadets of both categories there has been a substantial increase. A new ambulance division was registered at Ellerdine, Shropshire, a Boys' Cadet di\·ision at Ludlow, and a Girls' Cadet division at Hereford. I much regret that the nursing division at Church tretton, which contained many useful V.A.D. members, disintegrated after the rcsignation and departure of its Lady Superintendent. A District Inspection took place on Sunday, 29th july, in the grounds of Chirk Castle, Denbighshire, by kind permission of Lord and Lady Howard de 'VaIden. Tlus \\as hcld in conjunction with units from Korth 'Vales, and the Commissioner for the Denbighshire centre, Dr. C. E. Salt, collaborated with me in the arrangements. " "c \\Cre honoured by having as Inspecting Officer the Hon. john H. Bruce, Chief ccretary and ommissioner for '''ales. Favoured by the splendid weather and the beautiful setting, the occasion was highly successful and greatly enjoyed by all concerned. Close on GOO were on parade and the Inspecting Officer's report was most congratulatory. The Earl of Powis, Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire and President of the hrewsbury entre, presented service medals on the ground, and also present were the Surgeon-in- hie[ for " Tales, the Commissioners for Denbigh and Montgomery, and many other superior officers from the Principality. The lady County Officer for hropshire inspected the Iursing Di\"isions, while a large number of gue ts and the general public viewed the proceedings, which included a drumhead service. The band of the 4th King's Shropshire Light Infantry provided the necessary music. At the close the whole company was most hospitably entertained by Lord and Lady Howard de Walden. t the" Threc Counties" how held at Hereford in june, I took command of the Herefordshire units on the occasion of their inspection by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York. As regards the work in general, 953 cases are recorded as having been attended by individual members, 323 cases were removed by ambulance with a mileage of 5,833, while road accidents numbered 91. The ambulance cases, mileage, and road accidents all show a considerable increase over the previous year. At Shrewsbury and Ross-on-\Vye, where we have nursing divisions, ambulance sisters have regularly accompanied patients during transport.

THE

No. VII

T. J OHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

Ross obtained a very fine new ambulance during the year, chiefly through the munificence of l\Ir. Ivor Braby of that town, and I am very glad to record t.he acquisition of a splendid vehicle for Shrewsbury. It had long been felt that an ambulance was required for the borough and its environs, as the County Council vehicle was frequently eno-aged in distant parts of the county. Chiefly o·w ing to the initiative and enterprise of Corps Surgeon F. H. Edwards, a very successful flag day was held, and the proceeds, supplemented by grant from the Home ervice Ambulance Committee, the Hospital Carni\"al Committee, and other bodies, resulted in t.he local division obtaining the last word in am.bulance transport. It has proved an inestimable boon to the community. The new services at Ross and hrewsbury were inaugurated at impressive dedication ceremonies. Numerous hospital and/or Clinic attendances have been rendered by l\Iarket Drayton, Shrewsbury Xo. 1, Hereford and Ross nursing divisions. Such attendances are very difficult in some cases, where the members are at work all day. Puhlic ([uties were efficiently carried out, the most important being in connection "ith the hropshire Horticultural Society's great nnual Show, the 'Vest :'lidland Agri c ultural Show, both of \\'hich are held at Shrewsbury, the" Thrce Counties" Show at Hereford, and the hropshire Pageant at Ludlow astle, which last.ed for a week. Hereford members \\'ere also yery busy during the" hopping" season. IIereford has maintained a roadside hut on Dinmore Hill, and road posts and pat.rols were organized by Ross, :'larket Drayton and Ellerdine. ::'Iembers have attended both Brigade Training camps and Girl Guide camps. All divisions were inspected and re-examined in addition t.o t.he massed inspections . I personally performed these duties in the cases Oakengates, Ludlow, hre\\·sbun", Hereford and Ross ambulance divisions, and Ironbridge, Maclele\', hrewsbufY (Nos. 1 and 2), and Ross nursing divi ions. I ha\-e again most cordially t.o thanil\1r. and Mrs. l\lurray, of Dinmore :'Ianor, Hereford, and :;\Iiss \Yri ght, of the Elms, Shrewsbury, for their generous hospit.ality on the occa ion of inspect.ions. Divisional accounts show a sound financial condition. In the Eliminating Competitions for men, hrewsbury won t.he District Cup, ·while H ereford secured the "Exham" ::'Iemorial Cup awarded for the highe. t. aggregate of points in the individual tests. The judges were ount.y Surgeon Lt."'; Col. C. ,Yo Eames, D .r. O ., and Divisional urgeon] . Crofton, of Oswc:;t.rv. In the .i.. Tursing Competitions, Hereford took first place, th" j uciges being ~Iajor ]. Orton, Commissioner No . 3 (\\'estern) District., and tlw Counhurrrcon (Shropshire). Owing, however, to a most regrettable misunderstandin~, ca; inry non-compliance with the regulations governing the compctit.ion, the result had to b~ declared null and void, and you, Sir, with the concurrence of the Lady Superint.endentin-Chief, decided that the District must be represent.ed at the Brigade Finals by the runners-up, hre\\-sbury Ko . 2 DiYision. The team from this clh-ision, le(l by Ambulance Officer ::'Iiss Bullock, distin guished itself bv \\'inning the" I erro t. " Shield, the" Chalmers" Trophy, and the" Ellis" Cup, thi being the first occasion upon which any of the final a\\'ards have come to this Dist.rict. The same Division also won the Y.A.D. Shield (Shropshire) for the t.hird year m succeS:;lOn I J::a ve to record with mu~h r~gret the passing of Alderman] ohn Palmer, Honorary Presldent of the Ludlow Dn-lslOn . He was largely responsible for t.he inception of th~ division and a much needed ambulance in that town, and he will be sadly mIssed. The great church of St. Lawrence was crowded for his funeral. 'Ve haye been honoured by the acceptance by Lord Forester of the position of Ho.norary President for the County of Shropshire, and bot.h he and Lady Forest.er (who IS a Staff Officer to Lady Perrott) always show the keenest. int.erest in our work. Vi~count. H~reford, too, helps greatly in furthering the aims and prestige of the Bngade m his county. In conclusion I wish particularly to thank my County Surgeon and Lady County Officer for their invaluable assistance, and, in general, to express my grat.itude to all ranks for their loyal support and unfailing devotion to duty.

TREGE" NA, CAMBORNE. 12th March, 1935.

SIR,

I have t h e honour to su bmit my report for the year ended 3 1st December 1934. Strength.-On 3 1st December, 1934, the personnel was as follows:- '

Total,902 There are 23 .\mbulance Divisions, 10 ~ursing Divisions, 9 Cadet Ambulance Divisions, and 3 Cadet Tursing Divisions . This return shows an increase of 11 Officers and 61 other ranks, - Ambulance Divi ions, 1 .Tursing Division, 2 Cadet Ambulance Divisions, and 2 Cadet Nur ing Di\"isions over 1933.

Honoul's aHd .Awal'ds.-The following ha\'e had the honour of being admitted : en'ing ister::\lrs .• \ . ::\1. Blackwood, Camborne (b) en'ing Brothersuperintendent J. B . Gilbert, H elston. Superintendent F. Graae, Truro . uperintendcnt "T. Lanyon, Redruth . '"ellum Vote of Thanks. T. Hore, Bodmin. rivc en'ice ;\ledals and one Bar were awarded during the year. (a)

COlJlpetztzons.-The following County Ambulance Competition. " Agar Robartes" hield " Trevarno " Shield Cornwall County Shield Junior hield adet Cup Individual Cup ursing " Leggo " Cup " Rich" Cup " Blackwood " Cup

Competitions \\'ere held:Winner. St. Blazey. Camborne. St. Blazey. Liskeard . Redruth. Privates Alfrey, Crocker, and Gundry tied . Redruth. St. Ives. Redruth.

I cannot too strongly urge Di\'isions to take part in competitions as a means of stimulating and sustaining interest in First Aid work; and as most of the tests are set on the type of accident they are most frequently called upon to deal \\Tith, it improves their work enormou ly. ' Vithout competitions there is a danger of Divisions becoming simply Ambulance Transport Corps. First Aid.-This was rendered on 15,565 occasions-an average of 28 per member of Ambulance Divisions. This figure itself speaks of the large amount of work being done , and when one considers how the slightest neglected scratch may develop serious consequence, one realizes what an amount of suffering and disablement is being prevented by their voluntary services. Transport . -The cases transported by motor ambulances, of which there are thirteen, totalled 2,326, the mileage run being 37,791. This branch of the work is steadily increasing and throws a heavy financial strain on di\'isions to maintain an efficient service. I especially wish to thank the motor ambulance drivers who, at all times of the night or day, "oluntarily gi\"e their time and services. Road Casualties.-Here again there is a steady increase, this year 3 18 accidents were attended, entailing a mileage of 2,33-1, as against 19 1 accidents and 1,587 miles in 1933. To assist in the treatment of these road accidents we ha\'e 47 First Aid Posts situated on roads scattered throughout the county. Public Duties.-All important shows, athletic gatherings, and football matches were attended and much good work done.

Lifeboat DlItics.-All Cornish lifeboats are linked up with Divisions, so that trained men are always ayailable at thc Lifcboat taLion if callcd upon. _-1nnual Inspection and Re-exalJlillatioll.-This give a percentage attendance of 63 and 69 per cent in mbulance Di"isions and of 5 ) and 57 per cent in .Jursing Di,-isions. The Annual Church Parade was held at Penzance on the 24th June, when about 500 members attended. urgeon-in- hief Colonel C. I. Elli , C.;\LG., inspcctcd the Parade. .Xursing Div£siolls.-Under the supernslO'1 of my Lady County Officer, :.'I1rs. Town end, they are doing much good work. The attcndances at hospitals and clinics haye incrcased from 134 last year to 362 thi year. I fecI that mor usc should be made of them for attendances with motor ambulances whcn femal paticnts are im-ol\-ed: 198 attendances out of 2,326 casc carried is a 'cry small proportion. An annual county competition bet\yeen teams of the British Rcd ross and the t. John Xur ing Divisions was instituted for a cup pre ented by :\Ir~ Peter .\ anew, and ,\"as won by Perranporth (B.R.C . . ). :.'IIrs. Town end rcport as follow' : " The past year has been one of ati factory progre . Thcre has been an increase of one, Hayle N"ursing Di,-ision, in the adult Di,-isions, which brIngs the number up to ten, and an increase of two in the adet D.i"ision ,Bodmm adets, and t. Keot Cadets attached to Liskeard Xursing Division. 772 First Aid and Home ~ursing case ha"e been attended; 19H attendances \\ith the motor ambulances; 171 att ndances with medical comforts and orLhopc-cdic clinics, and 362 hospital attendances at the Royal Corn\\-all Infirmary and Redruth Hospital, and one sister from Redruth l. ~ur'ing Division did thrcc months' holiday duty at a London hospital. The nur ing profe sion ha. gain cl seycral r cruits from our Diyisions, no less than five Diyisions showing by their records that thcy have lost three and four members each o\\'ing to their re ignations to takc up nursing at general hospitals, which speaks well for the teaching they ha\'c rccei\'cd . " :\ly inspections were, on the whole, entirely satisfactory. Thcrc wcre good attendances, books \\'ell kept, and uniforms clean and well worn; nearly '\' ry Division showed an increase in membership . There has becn a "ery plea 'ant tendency of late to regard Inspection as a meeting at which difficuJti s can be talked o'-er and questions di cussed togethcr; in _uch a friendl',' splrit things work much more smoothly and happily. I am glad to report that all Dl\ l~lOns are entcring on the Iew Year with enthusiasm and anticipation of sevcral ncw Jl1 'mbcrs and a busy time in front of them. Before closing, I \\'o uld like to express my appreciation of the sympathy and support I haye recci'-ecl from officers and mcmbcrs of my Diyisions during many months of ill-health, and the pleasure I fcel at bcing able to continue with them for a while longer." Cadets.-"\Yhen we can get leaders with the right personality \\ ho ha,'c thc hme to devote to the work the movement flourishes, otherwise it i difficult to keep going, especially considering the cost of uniforms and the frcquent replaccments necessary for growing boys. They form an excellent recruiting ground for the Senior Divisions. V.A. Detachments.-I have none in the county. I. ,\tould especially: thank Assistant Commi sioner "\V. \V. Johnston for his great asslstance to me dUrIng the year, and also my County Staff for their tactful administration of their areas, their journeys to make inspection, conduct promotions and examinations, and stimulate interest in ambulance work generally. I would like to thank the doctors and nurses of the county for their voluntary services in training divisions. I sinc~r~ly thank all ~fficers, N.C.O.s and members of Ambulancc, ITursing, and Cadet DivislOns for thelr loyal support to me and my Officers, and their keenness and enthusiasm for the work of the Order, for without it this great voluntary movement of service could not go on. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, VVILLIAM BLACKWOOD,

PubliC alld XlIl'sing Service.-The County of Devon heads the National List of Joml ouncll .\mbulance stati tics, no fewer than 299,139 patients or crippled pas engers bing com-eyed from Tthe post-"\Yar inception of (~he Home ,~I?bulaI?-ce 'en icc 1.0 31 -1. December la t. early all these vehIcles are St. John ,mcludmg the 'cry busy public sen-ices of the Cities of Exeter and Plymouth. In 1934, the Brigade registered 9,631 cases attended. Therc are 46 FIrst Aid Posts and several motor Ambulance Stations , of which at least ii, e are staffcd day and night. Divisions report responding to 1,5 9 calls to road accidents and baying conveyed 6,075 patients. Thc S1.. John ::\urses, of whom 216 are also registered V.A.D. members, not only took their full share in First Aid and Invalid removal duty, but made 631 attendances at Hospitals and Clinics. The tributes paid in Hospital and Clinic Annual Reports ha"c been encouraging evidence of how this voluntary nursing duty is appreciated by th authoritics concerned. T'allcd .1ctii'llles.-In addition to the usual forms of Brigade service amongst crowds at Sports, on the highway and in ambulances, there are numerous specialized aCli"itic::, \\ orthv of mention, Thesc include answering all fire alarms when the firc brigade ' go: cliff rescues, the use of all .kinds of re.suscitation apparatus and dcvices for com'eyance of patients from ShIpS. Two Important aerodromes are catcred for and a third \\-ill be shortly. Lifeboat calls bring about speedy preparations for Fir 't .\id and transport, and for industrial casualty work in one area there arc some most remarkable scientific and mechanical appliances for succour and rdea e. Such is the adaptability of our venerable yet ever up -to-date Order. TiL'O SuuC'(stions , -Thcre are two directions in which I wish there were more di' isions i~tcrestcd. I suggest that several more units might consider raising Cadet Di, ISlOns and that the aim of all should be to attain competition proficiency, not so much because of the trophies gained by the successful, but on account of the invaluable " post-graduate" training and experience thus gained. 1I1y ardent desire is that nonc of us " will rest and be thankful, but be thankful and press on ". TJ lbutes.-I cannot too warmly thank the various local Committees of the St, John Ambulance Association, bodies of influential ladies and gentleman who arrange the educational work and then support the Brigade with finance, equipment, and in seycral places with premises... ... The pirit of friendly co-operation WIth us eXlstIng m the Devon and Cornwall Constabularies and the City Police Forces at Exeter and Plymouth is invaluable in the public interest, l\loreover,. ~he "\Vest ~ountry Press has been generous in publicity and in assisting fund-ralsmg campalgns, :.'Ily Assistant County Commissioners and ~h~ Lady Cou.nty O!ficer. in cha~ge of the Nursing Divisions have indeed been combmmg self-sacrifice WIth high efficlency.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

Those whom they administer would join me in an expression of great appreciation. As regards oluntary Aid Detachments, we are honoured by having Colonel C. 1. Ellis, C.M.G., as the Senior Assistant County Controller. From the following reports you will gather that I must be very much indebted to my many Staff, Corps, and Divisional Officers (both professional and lay). For their support and the loyal sen'ice of all whom they command I am ever grateful. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HEDLEY Y. ':\IILLER, County Commi sioner, Devon, rnight of Grace of the Order of t. John of J eru alem. (1) PLYMOUTH, SOUTH DE\'O~, .\ND EAST COR,""W.\LL .\R EA In the Plymouth, South Devon, and East Cornwall Area, the year has been one of considerable activity in public service. There are eight Divi ions actually within the City of Plymouth (Millbay Railway, Co-operative, Devonport, Central, :'IIlltley, Stonehouse, Friary, and Post Office). The Boroughs of Launceston and altash and the towns of Torpoint and Tavistock each have effective nits, but work is dormant at l\Iodbury awaiting new local lead er hip and a recruiting effort. The total adult strength (male officers, .C.O., and men) at the end of the year was 380-a small increase. 0 fewer than twelve St. John Ambulances are staffed, and Superintendents report attendance on 4,599 ca es, 732 road accident calls, and over 16,000 mileage of ambulances travelling with invalid. A tribute paid to the Plymouth and Di trict Ambulance Sen'ice bv the Chief Constable of that City (Mr. \ V. C. Johnson) in his official .\nnu al Report on the Police Force in~luded these .words : ." The quiet efficiency of thi sen' ice IS accepted, but not so Wldely recoglllzed as It deserves. Its achie\'ements as a \'oluntary organization are remarkable: and very many citizens have reason to be grateful to those who have helped to bnng about the present standard of efficient sen'ire . . . " .Launceston. in their very importan.t strategic Ambulance position are proceeding Wlth the erectIon of a permanent statIon, lecture room, etc., and Ta\'istock Di\'i ion, backed by the~ influential and enthusiastic As~ociation Committee, have not only developed ordmary ambulance \'.'o:~ but hospItal attendance and fire duty. As may be expected, the Saltash DIVIsIOn led by a keen educationalist maintains a fin~ record for Association successes addition~l t? First Aid as well as responding to theIr duty calls. The demands upon TorpolDt mcrease and will continue to do so owing to tbe heavy traffic passing through the town and al 0 the eTowing popularity of the lovely beaches in their locality. b Aid Post and Beach Hut duties are a feature of this area, which ha a proud pioneer position as regards Road Patrol activities. Among t these facilitie have been attendances at Torpoint Lawn, Sandway Beach, JennyelifIe, Bovisand, Roborough Down, and VVhitsands. The Stonehouse men at the latter, under Ambulance Officer R. G. Parr, engaged in magnificent rescue work and artificial respiration last June follOwing a bathing disaster and the su bseg uen t ea psizin 0- of a boat with seven occupants . b Competition work is not taken up in this area as widely as it should be; perhaps the enormous amount of actual case-treatment being one of the causes. There is need also for several Divisions to start Cadet Units. There are, at present, only two active Cadet Ambulance Divisions-Launceston and Plymouth Public Central School. The latter has, however, the great distinction of producing two Grand Priors' Cadets-Messrs . Warren and ,\Villiams. aturally the Area as a whole, as well as ~he School and the Division, feel proud of this achievement . H.R.H. the Grand Pnor of the Order sent a greatlv appreciated message during his holiday in Devonshire. ' Thanks a~e especially d~e ~o Coun~y Officer T D : Perkins a.nd Corps Superintendent W. F. Pethlck for all theIr lUspectIon, exammatIOn, and supervisory duties within the Area; als<? to the County Surgeon (Lieut .-Colonel J. P . Stephens ,\iVard, T.D., M.R.C.S.) for his ever-ready professional services. ~ fea~ure of the Superi~tendent's Reports within this Area is the very generous praise given by them to theIr Officers and Members.

(Report of .\ sista nt County Commi sioner H erbert J . Vick, of Paignton.) I ha\"e the honour of submitting my second annual report. There are 1.:1 Senior and ..J. Cadet Din 'ions in this .\rea, and the personnel numbers 7 Corps Officers, 39 Divisional Offie rs, and 291 other ranks, together with 47 Cadet Officers and Cadets. . The Senior Di\'isions show a decrea e of 22 officers and men, while the Cadet Divisions how an increase of 12 officers and cadets. The falling off in numbers is more apparent than real, as many of the men struck off the roll have been inefficient for some time. Superintendents ha\'e been appointed at C;hudleigh and Teignmouth, but Brixham and Kingsbridge arc still without the e officers. . :\mbul ance Officer Sh~pley and SeraL Pickett of the Xewton . bbot Di\'ision ha\'e rendered "aluable assistance at Tcignmouth an 1 Chudleigh rC 'pecti\'ely \\'hile these Di\'isions "'ere " 'ithout Supcrintendcnts. The encloe; 'c1 returns how that 1,029 cases were attendcd, and 1,969 remo\'als carried OUl, entailing a mileage of 2 - ,563. The roa.d accident~ were 286, an increase of 2..J: in tillS Area. The mileage for these casualtIes was 1, 1/9 . I need hardly say these ligures give a \' ery inadequate idea of the work entailed. on the officers. and mcn who carried out these arduous duties, and I should here lIke to pay a tnbute to the zeal and dc\'otion of all rank ' \\'ho ha "e shared in this \\ork. .\ new :'Ilotor Ambulance was dedicated at Kingsbridge by the Bishop of Exeter on the l..J.th October, and the BI 'hop of Crediton dedicated a new motor ambulance at Pai<Ynton on thc 16t h December. A motor ambulance ha been presented to the Br~ham Ho pital, and our Di\'i ion in that to\\'n supplie th~ necessaryT sen'ice. I would like to empha ize the "aluable work done by the "anous ect;ons of. the St. John Ambulance .\ ssociation in support of our.l?ngade work. At l\.mgsbndo-e and Paignton they were largely responsible for prondmg .the new motor ~mb~lance I am plcased to say that the Cadet mo\'ement is cOffilng to the fore m .thlS ~rea, and the officers of the enior Divisions are recognizing the importance of thIS trammg grouncl for the Brirrade. The Devon ounty Agricultural Show was held at Kewton Abbot on the 22nd , 23rd , ancl 2·fth :'Irav, and our Divi ions in that town undertook the ambulance w~rk in connection \nth that function . nder my direction Corps Superintendent Rice and ~Iajor Greenslade organized the staffing of the show durino- the_three days, and the .\mbulance anc!

Sidmouth, und er Superintendent A. ' V. Irish, and Seaton, under uperintend ent \V. A. Ha\\'ker, both very good officers. are going strong. Budleigh Salterton, under acting Superintendent J. B. Holden, is going on q uietly, and, I am informed, will soon have ome of their members in uniform. They ha\'e not yet sufficient numbers to constitute a full Division. Christow, under Superintendent G. T. Archer, J.P., has had a set-back owing to the departure from the district of some of their men, but hope to increase th eir personnel at an early date. Lyme Regis, by dispensation from H eadquarters, has becn included in this Area, and steps are being taken to form a Division. The Exeter City Police Division is still making wonderful progress under their S.uperi~tendent, C. J.

;>'l.C., T.D., lIT.R . C.S.,

I ha\'e pleasure in submitting my r eport for the year ended December 31st, 1934 . The year under reyiew has been one of increased activities and encouraging results. This Area. has its own peculiar difficulties with towns and Yillages of small population, and Divisions - covering extensive tracts of rugged hilly country and coast line. The Area taff consists of 1 Assistant County Commissioner, 1 County Surgeon, 1 County Officer, 1 Corps Officer, an.d 1 C<:lUnty Sergeant-::'Ilajor, and . t~e. Divi~ions comprising this Area number seven, mcludmg the Barnstaple Cadet DlvlslOn, vllth a tot;ll strength of 170 . It is a pleasure to place on record the splendid loyalty, co-operation and work of all the members of this Area. To attend an inspection is to become conscious of a spirit of good-fe~l~)\vship and keenness. I hav~ recei\-ed ~mple proof that un?er the guidance of DivlSlOnal Officers t~e work that IS accomphshed IS of a very hIgh order, and calls for the warmest praIse. Banzslaple.-The work of this Division has been \\-ell maintained, and an increase of 9 memhers is recorded. Some 19 large First Aid Boxes are placed in a network around the to\\'n and district, so that the area cover ed by this Division is well cared for and efficiently maintained.

Ban/staple Cadels.-Ably led by Cadet Officer Frampton. The Cadets are of good charadeI' and efficiency. Transport, public, and other duties continue to be well carried out. . . \Ye are fortunate in having Association Committees who are keen and willmg to undertake the raising of funds to finance Divisions. This relie\-es Divisions of anxiety and enables them to de\-ote a greater portion of their time to First Aid work. . Diyisions, however, give splendid support in raising funds. Although outside the cope of this report, I am a\\-are that the financial position of Association Commit.lees is on a Yery sound basi. There is a good relationship existing between the .\ssociation Committees and the Divisions. They work in the closest harmony. _\ suryey has been made of the Areas co,-ered by existing Divisions with a view to discovering types of accidents likely to occur, and the possible n~mber of cases likely to be dealt with at anyone time. This survey has broug~t ~o light some v~ry valuable information, and on this information plans for a dIstnct call are bemg formulated. _\ complete list of equipment in this Area is now ava!lable, and this :\-ill b~ c~~e full .. considered "\\ hen completing the schel11,e. The rapId growth of aenal a~h:v~bes is not bein a lost sicrht of, and special yisits ha\'e been made by all the DIvlslOns to the local aerodr~me for lectures and demonstrations in aerial construction, fire fighting and release of wounded. A sun ey will also be undertaken of this area to discoyer what possibilities exist for the formation of new Diyisions or Sections. It is my pleasure to report that there is every prospect of a Division being formed at Braunton in the near future. Inquiries are frequently being made of the prospects of forming further Cadet Division, and I look forward to steps being taken to form at least one other Cadet Diyision this coming year. \Ye are looking forward to the visit of the Devon County Show to Barnstaple in l\lay next.

THE ST. J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

l\Iy report would not be complete without a reference to my l\rea stall. Dr. E. Hoerman , County Surgeon, has done invaluable work in arranging and carrying out r e-examinations, inspections, and also assisting in competition 'work and supervising the medical side of the Brigade training. County Officer J. P. Pepperell came to us from the Priory of vales, and has done useful work in visiting Divisions and helping them with their difficulties, and has been most helpful to me personally. Corps Officer A. 'Y. Latimer, who has been re ponsible for all forms and returns, and who e knowledge and experience of Brigade work ha been of the greatest assistance in e tablishing a new ..\rea. Unfortunately thi officer has been suffering from illhealth, but I am glad to say he is much better and improying ·teadily. He has won the confidence of all the Divisions, and has been of the greatest help to me. County Sergeant-ilIajor H. Cottrill has very quicldy got into his c1uties as County Sergeant-l\Iajor, and has done a tremendous lot of work in dealing with correspondence and in organizing plans for the future, and generally by his tact anc1 nthusiasm has assisted in keeping the Area going, helping with the dIfficulties and co-ordinating the various activities. He has a complete grasp of the work done by the Area, and is in close touch with all the Diyisions, \\'ho more and more are getting to turn to him for advice and assistance. ..\s he is in clo er touch wit.h me than anyone else, it is through him that I am able to keep control over the .\rea and be constantly informed of the needs and activities of the Di\·i. ions. lIe \\orks in the closest harmony with the officers of my staff, and i proving in every way a most capable Sergeant-il1ajor. Being also the secretary of the Barnstaple .\ssociation. he has a large knowledge of Association work. and this largely accounts for the excellent spirit that exists between the Association and the Brigade.

SERVICES

(Report of Lady County Officer ::'lrs. R. Balsdon. of Saltash.) I have pleasure in submitting my report for the year ending 31st December, 1934. The :t:Jursing Divisions in the De\'on County ha,'e continued their very efficient work III all Areas. and numerous tribute of their ready and willing S(;[\"lC has been received from l\Iatrons of General and Cottage Ho pitals, Clinic ,' ecr t.aries, and those responsible for the organization of the numerous public functions in all parts of the County. Devon County Show. regattas. ounty Fair. and other c1uti s made large demands upon the personnel, but I am happy to report t.hat, however hort the notice has been. all duties have been fulfilled by our officers and members. First-aid Cases treated 2,..!0 Removals with Ambulances . 2,619 (an increase of 593 on mv last report) Hospital and Clinic duties . 631 ' Long distance journeys by rail to London hospitals. etc., and remo\'als from ships. have all been successfully carried out by nursing members of ,'ariolls Di"isions. Summer Aid Posts.-Duties at seaside resorts and children's playing fields ha,'e also been regularly staffed. and certain Divisions have now secured permanent First Aid Stations for this very important work. . Registrations.-It is wit? great sat.isfaction I am able to report the official recognib(:)il. ~f a new Voluntary AId Detachment-Barnstaple. Korth Devon. Also ITursing DlvlslOns at Saltash (eastern border of Cornwall) and Kingsbric1ge ( outh Devon). .Competitior:s:-The standard of work has been exceptionally high. and Divisions '~lth COJ?1?etItIon TeaIl1s h~ve derived great help, the general effect of the CompetitIon tralDlDg has been to lDcrease the efficiency of the Divisional work also. Results.-County Eliminating (Devon County) Championship. held at Torquay. 24th March, 1934 ; 1st Gale Shield Won by Paignton with 2 1 marks. 2nd Caroline Beckly Cup Won by Barnstaple with 266t 3rd place Exeter with 260~ 4th, 5th. 6th. and 7th 'p?s.itions being gained by Co-operative. T·or~~ay. Sherwell. and Ne""ton Abbot DlvlslOns respectively. The" Shillitoe Cup" for bed-making was also won by Paignton with 89 marks.

DI STRICT.

District competition held at Exeter on 28th April. 1934 ; The Burn Shield was won by Paignton. who thus had the honour of representing the District at the" Finals" on 25th May. in which they secured third place. the highest ever reached by a Nursing Division in o. IX District. ursing Cadet are also becoming very efficient in Competition work. and the Cadet Championship for the County was held at Plymouth on 6th June. The" Davey Cup" was won by Exeter Nursing Cadet team with Paignton coming very close for second place. Exeter also secured the" Hastings Cup" for bedmaking. Cadet Divisions.-It is with concern I note that Cadet membership increases do not balance decreases. :"Iany senior adets have during the year commenced training at children's hospitals. clinics, and fever hospitals pending reaching the age to commence general training. This naturally accounts for some of the decreases, but Lhere should be opportunities of recruiting among the younger girls to replace these senior members. It is dif-ficult to get suitable leaders of Cadet work. which requires very special qualifications, and I wish to pay a tribute to the work being done by the Cadet Officers in this ount.y. The two outstanrling events of the year were the gaining of the Grand Prior Cadet Badge by l\largaret Grice (Sherwell) and the appointment of an ex-Cadet, Doris Gale (~herwell), to the position of Lady .\mbulance Officer of the Sherwell Nursing Dh'ision. Previously we had an ex-Cadet come back to her Senior Division as :-Jursing Officer. There is no doubt Cadet training is an asset to the future work in the ~Tursing Divi, ions. .\lthou gh the number of Nursing Cadets is smaller than one would desire in a ounty the size of Devon, they have certainly made up for lack of numbers by wonderful enthusiasm. The amount of practical work-knitted garments, etc .. for the poor, yisits to Hospitals and many other acts of real public service-has been amazing. Cooke1'y.-Twenty officers and members of Plymouth Divisions were successful in gaining the t . John Association Cookery Certificate for full course in plain. invalid. and camp cookery. This will be very beneficial in the V.A. Detachments to ,vhich they belong. Hospital Dutus.-Among the many duties undertaken in Hospitals the Prince of 'Yales Hopital (Lockyer treet Section) ,vas again completely staffed by St. John Officer and members on the occasion of the lIIatron's Christmas Dinner and Dance to taff of Hospit.al. This reque t received annually shows the confidence placed in the ability of our St. John Nurses. ::.rembers attended for duty at various Girl Guide camps. and their services 'were greatly appreciated. One member also attended the annual camp field for crippled children at ::'laker. This Yery exacting duty has been successfully carried out by the same member for the third successive year. Trallsjers to County Staff.-Lady County Officers l\Irs . Bell and l\Iiss Hardie Jackson ha,'e been transferred from 0.3 District. and their appointment to Devon County taff will. I hope, add to the efficiency of the Nursing Service.

COUNTY OF DORSET . 22 ABBOTSBURY ROAD , \ VEYMOUTII.

April, 1935. THE CHIEF CO:'>DlISSIONER, ST. JOHX AMBULAXCE BRIGADE .

SIR ,

I have the honour to submit to you my Annual Report [or the year ended 31st December, 193-1, on the work of the Ambulance and ... ursing Di\'i ions under my command. The Annual County Inspection wa held for the first time at haflesbury, and we ,\,ere honoured by the presence as Inspecting Officer of the Rt . Hon . the Earl of Shaftesbury, Grand Bailiff of the Order, who was accompanied by the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, Lady Perrott, who in pected the Nur ing Di\ i::iions . Prominent to\n1 officials were also present, including the :\Iayor and members of the Corporation. The in pection was held in the football field of the Grammar chool, kindly lent for the occasion by the Head :\Ia ter, and 253 of all ranks were OIl parade. Divine service conducted by the Ee\,. A. Hurley, of Portland, \\ a-held at the Church, which Lord haftesbury and Lady Perrott attended \\-ith t.he '-ariolls Divisions. Tea was aften\-ards provided for all ranks by the kindness of the Shaftesbury Division . Mr. R. \Y. Pinniger, the Divisional Superintendent, is t.o be congratulated on the manner in ,\'hich all the arrangements \\'ere carried out. The parade was under the direction of Captain Colin Forbe , and Dr. E. . Bo\\ 'so County urgeon, was in charge of the surgeons, :\Irs. E. Lansdo\\-n, the Lady County Superintendent, of the Turses. Cases attended during the period under review numbered 2,--160, and the total mileage travelled was 8,937. There are yarious first aid huts in Portland where quarr~' accidents -many of a major character-are "ery frequent. The Poole Corps has b\o beach huts and the \Yeymouth Di\'ision one, and here a large number of minor casuallie are attended during the season. The County Elimination Competitions for the Dewar and Perrott hields were held at \Veymouth, and the \\inning team-men and women-proceeded to Exeter for the semi-final. Very cordial thanks are due to Dr. E. S. Bo\\-e (County urgeon) and Captam Colin Forbes (Cou nty Officer) for the , -ery able help in organizing and carry1L1g out the tests, and also to :\Ir. J. :\1. O'Hara , \\-ho ha been of \'ery great a-'Slstance not only in the Competitions, but in the capacity of a most efflLlent and courteous liaison officer, on the occasion of the last two .-'\nnu al In, pections Mr. Fanner, the \Veymouth Di,-isional uperintendent , has also be n of the utmo:-;t assistance in organizing the setting of the competition at \\'eymouth. Thee were held at the Weymouth Grammar School, and I should like to accord my gralelul thanks to the GO\'ernors and Captain Linnett, the H ead :\la ter , for t.he loan of the school rooms. Over a scattered area like the County of Dorset many difficultie arise in t.h e matter of transport, and it has been my earnest endeavour to t.ry and interest t.h ' municipal authorities in the work of the Brigade, and although in orne case- tlli has not gone so far as I should wish, their help in many towns has been of the utmO:5t value, and most cordial relations exist with the Brigade. In the important seaside resort of \Yeymouth the whol e of t.he transport work is carried out by the men of the Brigade, \\'ho give un tintingly and willingly their services night or day. The Divisions here, howe\"er, are badly in need of a H eadquarters building where drills and practises can be carried out, and some degree of social amenity and recreation may be available for the workers. The authorities are well cognizant of the good work done, and are anxious to be helpful, and functions have already been organized to raise funds and will be continued until we get what we need, and a very good start has been made for the coming year. The public are still rather apathetic, due no doubt to their want of knowledge of the work and self-sacrifice of the men a nd women of the Brigade.

The Parkstone ursing Cadets in uniform were on parade at the Annual Inspection, and were much gratified that on this, their :first appearance, they should have been inspected by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief. It was a source of great satisfaction to all interested in ambulance work that the Earl of Shaftesbury and Lady Perrott were so good as to carry out the inspection, and it is felt t.hat their presence will do much to stimulate and encourage the Ambulance's work in Shaftesbury. Strength.-There are in the ounty 7 Ambulances and 5 ursing Divisions, and 3 Cadet Divisions (two boys', one girls'), and the total of all ranks is 353, which sho\\'s an increase on last year. During t.he festivities connected with the Tolpuddle Centenary which were held this year in Dorchester and district, 20 ambulance men and 5 nurses were in attendance during (;ach of the four days the celebrations lasted, and were equipped with first aid t.ents and an ambulance, and over seventy cases were dealt with, some of them of a major nature. The work in the county during the whole year has been most satisfactory, and marked by real progress, and amongst other things a most instructive series of pract.ical lectures on gas warfare was given by Sergeant Blandford; this was made pos iblc by t.he courtesy of the ommanding Officer of the Dorset R egiment, and it is hoped that other lectures on t.his most important matter will be arranged this year for other Divisions in t.he county. In conclusion I beg to tender my most sincere thanks and appreciation of the work, loyally and well carried out, by all ranks under my command, who fully realize that it is an honour and privilege to be members of the largest voluntary organization in the Brit.i ·h Empire. I ha'"e the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. H. RODIER HEATH, County Commissioner, Officer of the Order of St. J obn of Jerusalem.

49, BERNERS STREET, IpSWICH. 15th III arch, 193 - . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report on • o. 10 District, which, as you are aware, comprises the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Herts, and Cambridge. The growth of new Divisions in recent years has made a personal visit to all Divisions an impossibility, extending as the district does from \Yisbech on the \Vash in the north to almost Epping Forest in the south, and from St. Albans in the west to Yarmouth in the east. Fortunately I have first-rate, and competent ssistant Commissioners, who have been of infinite assistance to me. Oile of these, Mr. Barclay, of Norfolk, I very much regret to say died recently. He was a pillar of strength to us in Norfolk, and his place will be a very difficult one to fill. I personally shall miss him very much, for to me he was more than an Assistant, he was a personal friend and a loyal colleague. ~1any of the Norfolk Division atteDCled the funeral, ,,:ith o~r men as pall bearers. It was a fitting end to a keen St. John Officer. Requ2escat m Pace.

DI STRI CT .

There were perhaps two outstanding features this year in the District. One, the visit of the Prince of \ Vales to the Royal Show at I pswich. There we did duty and dealt with no less than 547 cases in the week. From the Friday preceding the opening until the closing, we had personnel on duty night and day-a motor ambulance standing by and a surgeon always on duty. There were two unfortunate deaths, in '\'hich we were h elpless. One, a motor accident just outside the gates, the unfortunate patient being dead on the arrival of our people. The other, an elderly gentleman who had a heart seizure in the grounds. I was extremely pleased with our people and the way they managed the latter unfortunate affair; nothing could have been managed better. For our services we have received a letter of thanks from the Show authorities, " 'hich I am bound to say was thoroughly deserved. A second event of outstanding importance ,vas the inspection at Sennowe Park, Norfolk, lent by ~Ir. T. Cook, eoLP. 1\11 ~orfolk Detachments \yere inspected by Colonel Brooks, a matter of between 3-400 men and \\·omen. He expressed himself satisfied with the turn-out. Di\ isions are still being formed and, as a result, I am of the opinion that the District should gradually come under a County basis. \Vith this idea, Herts will come under ::\lr. Langley J one. who will administer it thoroughly and efficiently. Our motor ambulances are still fully occupied, and a question of somewhat serious import arises here . We had a birth on the way to hospital in one of them, and the attendants, both male, were in considerable difficulty. However one, a married man with children, was able to do the needful, and mother and child arri'-ed at hospital none the worse; but It appears to me some slight knowledge of this function is desirable, or one day we might ha'-e something na ty happen. It is a difficult question, but must be faced. ~Iedical Comforts depots are increasing in the district, and I need only add are a huge succes in their line, admirably run by our members free of cost, and, what is more, pay their way. Annually we are in attendance at a poor children's outing, when 7-8,000 children are taken in motors twenty-fi\'e miles or so into the country. No serious accidents; but, in case, we are there "ith a motor ambulance and deal with minor casualties as they arise. Cinema, theatre, football, fetes, and suchlike duties are done as a matter of course. Funds somehow come along and our heads are still above water, but a lift in the hape of a legacy would be welcome. \Ye live in hopes. \Ye have the honour of ha"ing the 1st .A ir Division in Ipswich. I suppose in time this form of pecialized Di\'i ions will be required, but at present, as far as Ipswich Aerodrome i concerned, I am afraid they will have little to do. Personally, I would have preferred anti-gas speciali m. However, one must march with the times, and we have Division Ko. 1. I have not yet seen them officially, but from information recei"ed I am gi,-en to understand they know their job, and several hold pilot certificate . Our Cadet Divisions vary, ups and downs. It seems to me something is needed to keep these boy and girls in the Brigade once we have got them. Some r emain, a good many drop out. ,"Vhy, it is difficult to say. Of course youngsters come along, but it is a pity to lose the elders. A ne,,, motor ambulance was bought and paid for by the Aylesham Division, orfolk. It wa dedicated by the Rector in the presence of a large congregation, including detachments of Red Cross, whom we are always glad to welcome at such functions. Other purcha es of a similar nature are about to take place in the District. The total number of men, women, cadets, officers, and staff is difficult to obtain, since some Divisions hold up their returns in spite of repeated application. Again may I express to all· ranks my great indebtedness to them for their loyalty and assistance. I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant,

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER. 14,

MERRION

QUARE, DUBLIN.

1 th June, 1935 .

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1934. The Ambulance and Nursing Divisions of the Brigade were called upon to meet greatly increased demands on their sen'ices-for the larger events uch as motor races, as well as for daily or week-end hut dutie. The opening of addit.ional seaside huts at Killiney and Bray added con iderably to this side of the work. The following were amongst the most important duties carried out:Rugby International at Lansdowne Road, several point-to-point race meetings, the Royal Dublin Society's Shows, the Leinster " 200" lotor Cycle Race, ' i.raffan Road Race, Dublin and District Club's Mot.or Cycle Races, Leinst r Trophy Race, Car Races in Phcenix Park; the transport of the invalids travelling on the Ozanam and Franciscan Pilgrimages to Lourdes. At the First Aid Hut in O'Connell treet 905 cases were attended by the day orderly and 867 by the night and Sunday staffs, howing an increase of 5 on the previous year. Th~ Inval~d \ranspo~ Service carried 1,916 cases during the year. The personnel of this servIce IS supphed by the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. Under the direction of Lady Superintendent ~Irs. G.M. Rowlette, Ambulance isters accompany the female cases. From the Invalid Requisites Department 6 9 articles were lent to the sick poor during the year, whilst the requirements of the First Aid Stations, Classes, and Competitions were also supplied. The work of the Stores Department grew in order to keep pace with the increased public duties and additional huts. Lady Superintendent Mrs. G. :\1. Rowlette , under whose direction these two departments are carried on, rai ed a sum of £37 nett to,yards their funds by means of a Jumble Sale. During the year ended 31st December, 1934, 52,590 dinners were served in the four dining-rooms of the "\Velfare Department, and 24,224 pints of soup were t.aken home. This showed an increase of 5,1 2 dinners over the previous year. 711 mothers passed through the dining-rooms. 572 were interviewed and visited. There were 462 confinements, of which 17 were still-births. 900 grocery parcels and 6,46 pints of milk were given with the maternity grants. 451 sets of baby clothes and 926 chemises were made and issued from the Department's voluntary workroom . 94 garments both old and new were received through the" Central \Vorkroom" for distribution to those attending the dining-rooms. The cost of the dining-rooms for.the year-£1,21 17s. 9d., and the total cost of the department i ' estimated at Just under £1,800. The annual sale, organized by the ursing Divi ions of the Brigade and held in the Mansion House, Dublin, in .r ovember, realized a nett sum of £420 16s. 8d. This Welfare Department is recognized as part of the Child "\Yclfare Scheme of the City of Dublin, and is ably managed by Lady Superintendent ~Iiss G . .:'II. Barrington and a Committee. Almost 10,000 garm~nts-:-n~w an? s~condhand-have been distributed through t~e Central Workroom smce ItS mcephon m January, 1933 . The energetic Committee, WIth Mrs. Heney as hon. secretary, has enlisted an enthusiastic band of workers who meet twice a week from Octo-ber to the end of May . .The Nursing Divisions Competitions, organized by Lady District Superintendent MISS E. F. Blandford, were held at the Brigade Hall on 12th and 14th April. The results were as follows : -

The Invalid Transport Competition for the" Overend " Cup was held in December at the Great .rTorthern Railway Terminus (by kind permission). The Cup was won by the Headquarters Ambulance Division No.1 Team with 78 per cent of the possible marks. . The annual inspection was held in Lord Iveagh's gardens on 9~h Jun~ . MaJorGeneral :\1. Brennan, Chief of Staff Irish Free State Army, was mspectmg officer. I had the honour to present, on behalf of the Grand Prior of the Order, the .I-r:s~gnia of Serving Sister to Lady District Officer Miss Bertha M. Bruce and Lady DlvlsIO~al Superintendent :\Iiss Olive p, Jackson, also one Service l\Iedal Bar and 10 ServIce ?lIedals.

The Annual Appeal held in illay realized £909 16s. 4d. Expenses of £82 I s. 10d. left a nett balance of [, 2~ 14s. 6d. \Ve are very grateful to l'.Iessrs. J. P. MacNamara, Reg. H. K ea tinge, and J .

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1934 . I. am. pleased to state that not only has the satisfactory increase of 1933 been mamtamed, but an even gr~ater in?r~ase has taken place in the year just ended. We ~egan the ye;;tr 1933 wIth 8 DIVIsions, but this number was later reduced to ? owmg to .t~e. unlOn of two of our ursing Divisions-Strabane and Leckpatrickmto one dIvIslOn.

From these figures it will be seen that we have registered an increase in Divisions of 100 per cent, and in personnel of about 50 per cent. Three County Officers have been appointed, viz.: 1\lrs. Kirkpatrick (Lame), Ir. \Villiam Allen (Belfast Central), and Mr. J. Harris Rea (Banbridge). Public Duty.-The Belfast Fire Brigade Ambulance Division, under the command of 1\1r. John Smith, the Chief officer, continues to render valuable assistance in the transport of injured to hospitals and in many other ways. Ulster International Tourist Trophy Car Race, 1.9.3..J:.-The medical arrangements for this popular event, including Ambulance and First Aid treatment, were again under my entire supervision, and I am pleased to report that all Divisions rendered capable service and were equal to all demands made upon them. Inspection.-During the short visit to Northern Ireland in May last, His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester made an inspection of the various Divisions of the Brigade-both Ambulance and Nursing, in the Royal Ulster Agricultural Show Grounds at Balmoral. Units were present from the several divisions in Belfast, Londonderry, Banbridge, and Lame. Horse and Cattle Shows.-A number of public duties at Horse and Cattle Shows were performed by the S.J.A. Brigade, the most important of which was the Royal Ulster Agricultural Show at Balmoral, Belfast. Battle of the Boyne OraJlge .lunive7'sary, 12.7.34.-The annual celebrations of the Orange In titution was held on the 12th July at Finaghy, Belfast. Enormous crowds had assembled and the services of both the Ambulance and Nursing Units were frequently required.

Ivy Cycling Sports llIeeting, Grand Prix 1I10tor Cycle Race, and the Caryowdore lIfolor Cycle Race.-:'Iembers of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions attended these th.ree e\-ents and rendered satisfactory service. CompetitlOlls.-The Annual Competitions were held on the 5th :l\1ay in the Balmoral Show Grounds, the \\-eather being unfavourable it was found necessary to have these held indoors. ... ine teams entered for the various Cups and resulted as follows : 11Ien's Section: (1) S.J .A.B. City of Dublin Division, (2) S.J.A.B. Jacob and Co.'s Divi ion, Dublin; (3) Imperial Tobacco Co., Dublin. Women's Section: (1) S.J. .B. Harcourt Nursing Division, Dublin; (2) \Vest Belfast Tursing Division. I am pleased to report the formation of a great number of classes both in First Aid and Home ursing. This is a very pleasing feature, as it is hoped to form a number of new Divisions on the conclusion of the examinations. During the year twenty-four classes were held in connection with the Ulster Centre. Ten of these were held in Belfast, five in County Antrim, four in County Do\'v'11, three in Londonderry, and two in Co. Tyrone. In First Aid there \\"ere seventeen classes, 9 male and 8 female. The number who received the full course of instruction was 36 , and they were awarded 289 certificates, 21 vouchers, 19 medallions, and 1..J: labels. These figures include awards in the local ~Iercantile l'IIarine Branch. Seven classes were held in Home Tursing. 198 persons attended the full course of lectures, and received 125 certificates and 22 pendants. The total awards for the year numbered 490. I would like to place on record my appreciation of the splendid work of all the officers concerned. There is also among the various units a friendly spirit of rivalry which augurs well for the success of the Brigade in Northern Ireland in 1935 . The resuscitation of the Brigade in Northern Ireland and the success that has attended our efforts has been most gratifying. From all sides there is a willingness to assist and an interest in the Brigade which has not been manifest for several years. In this respect I would like to mention the valuable tireless task which our Honorary Secretary-l\1r. Alfred W. ·i \Iann-has put forth. Our success is entirely the result of his personality and energy. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, IAN FRASER, Commissioner, Northern Ireland District .

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE COM II . 10 ER FOR \VALE . BRIGADE TRE GTH. After deducting the member hip of ix Ambulance, five and two Cadet Ambulance Divi ion, which have been di band d a inactive, the strength of the Brigade in \Vale at 31 t December hO\v~ an increase of 828 on 1933. A ati factory feature is the formation of eight new ur ing Divi ions, a there is con iderable room for expan ion in this direction. A que tionnaire circulated recently among Ambulance Divisions in the" Special Areas" elicited the fact that there ar definite openings for the immediate establi hment of fifteen ur ing Units provided financial assi tance were forthcoming toward their equipment. The noteworthy increase in Cadet member -hip prompt me to add a final word of gratitude and appreciation for th grant of £3,000 from the Pilgrim Trust, the last instalment of which i ren cted in the pa t year's figures. The effect of thi grant cannot be ummed up completc1y in figures-encouraging a it may be to record an increa e of G!l Cadet Units and 2,185 personnel during the period 1931 to In:3 l. It wa a cltlrion call for a special endeavour on the part of the enior Diyi ion ~, who were challenged to earn grant by puttin rr up one-third of the amount required; and the respon e was wholly worthy of the t. J ol1n . pirit. It is hoped that similar mea ur of a i tance may be forthcoming from another source during 1935 to a i t the depleted fund - and weakened resources of the Ambulance and Nursing Di\'i ion in the" pecial ~ reas " in South \Vales. The difficult condition under which the Brigade is working in the latter districts i empha ized by a ummary prepared recently, which shows that out of the total member hip of 1,02 , l,2n l are unemployed, while 1,458 are without uniform and on1 630 ar in possession of greatcoats. Taking the e fact into account, the followinG comparison of strength for the pa t three year may be con id red satisfactory :T

RESERVES. There are J23 Welsh members enrolled in the Military Hospitals Reserve ; and while applications for enrolment are still being received, the above figure is l ~t les than last year, as a result of members leaving their nit in earch of employment in other district. Full advantage is taken of the training facili tie . The vVelsh member hip of the Royal aval Auxiliary ick Berth Re erve, which is fully taffed, remains stationary with the names of many a pirant for admission on the waiting list. There i no expansion of V.A.D. work to report. The three St. John \Vomen ' Detachments in Glamorgan and one in Brecknockshire are maintaining a high standard and in eaCh. case have called forth .high commendation on the part of the Inspectmg Officers. The CommIttee \'oted a urn of £50 towards the expense of running a V.A.D. camp, but the plan wa deferred for a year with a view to co-oper~t~ng with \ Toluntary Aid Detachments of the Glamorgan Branch, Bntlsh Red ero ociety, which was not practicable last year, as the latter had alread arranGed to attend a Camp in England. BRIGADE SERVICES. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining properly compiled returns, it. is not po ible to gi\"e complete figures for more than 213 of the 292 Semor Di\"i, ion in \Yale ; but de pite this deficiency of reports the -17,785 recorded ra e treated i 14,968 more than the figure for 1933. Assistance \\' 8. given in connection with 1,023 road accidents and ~16 Roadside Fir t Aid lIut and Po ts are being maintained by Brigade Units. Eight of th :\ ur ing Divi ions attend Hospitals and Clinics for voluntary ~u.ty. ne direction in which good progress was made was the provISIOn of Fir t Aid facilities at seaside resorts. Instancing the example of Barry, \Vh re some 2,000 ca es are t~eated each summer ~eason at a Fir t Aid Hut on the I land, the Pnory made representatIons to the local ounciL, with the re ult that Huts were erected at Porthcawl and Ogmore-by- ea and tent at Dunraven Bay, while further provision i under con ideration. At the two latter places, the staffing was undertaken jointly on alterna te \~eeks by. t. John and Red Cro s person?el. The terrible di a ter in whlch 26-1 lIves were lost at the Gresfo~d CollIery on 22nd eptember imposed a heavy task on the Wrexham Division, every member of which was .in continuous attendance f?r per.iod of twenty to thirty hour, showll1g courage and endurance m faClng the mo t harrowing cene and undertaking gruesome ta ks. Brigade Member are eagerly awaiting the text-book on Protechon t'n Chemical TT' arfare, a training which everyone fervently hopes may never be required, ,vhile not daring to ignore the po ibility. Al UAL INSPECTIONS. The chief item of importance under this heading is a reference to the second vi it to Wales of the Chief Commis ioner, Major-General ir John Duncan, K. C.B. , C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., to inspect a parade of over 3,000 members of the Unit of the Glamorgan County Centre, which was held in the beautiful ground of Margam Castle at the invitation of

Captain and 1\1rs. Talbot Fletcher, who generously entertained some 300 gue t to tea in the Orangery. Another Inspection of special intere t took place at Chirk astle, Denbigh hire, where the Brigade per onnel in the o. 7 Di. trict and orth \~Vales Border Countie. as embled at the kind invitation of Lord and Ladv Howard de \Valden, who not only prO\'ided tea for the parade of O\'er -"00 and a large party of gue ts, but allowed all who de ired to be taken oyer the hi toric Castle, for which a charge of ls. each "va made and given to the re pective Centre toward the Inspection expen es. ' Vith three exceptions, the Brigade Dnit in v ry entre in 'Vale ""ere in pect d during the year. In connection with the iwenty- ix In pection arranged, I am indebted to my A i tant ommi . ioner for \Yales (ilIr. A. G. E. J.

lOTOR AMBULANCE TRA. ' SPORT SERYI E. The service was extended in 1931 by the opening of a new tation at Trimsaron, Carmarthenshire, to supplement the Tumble ar in erving local collieries and workmen employee ub cribing to the cherne. Thi brings the number of stations to 17, operated hy 21 car ; and the total number of 11.518 cases and 222,366 miles how an increa e of 2,413 and 38,55 -1~ respectively on 193~~. Twenty-nine colliery companies, covering 66 collierie with approximately 41,000 men, contract with the Prior for the removal of ca e of accident or sickness to home or hospital, the charge for which i at the rate of ls. per annum per man employed. Ten other companie and organizations are subscribing on a similar basis in re pect of 2,500 persons. An unlimited call upon the service for removals involving a maximum return journey of 60 miles in cases of accident or sickne necessitating the use of an ambulance is given to subscribers and their dependents who contribute at the rate of 1d. per week as member of Colliery Lodges, of whom there are 62 with an aggregate membership

of 25,000, or other bodies of workmen, of which there are 42 covering 3':500 men. The same scheme has been taken up by the general public in 29 Districts in which a total number of nearly 3,000 subscribers have been enrolled. The non- ub criber is charged at the rate of ls. 3d. per mile up to 100 miles, and ls. thereafter-sympathetic consideration being given to long di tanc and other removal on compa ionate grounds. It has been the policy of the Priory of recent year to effect such reductions a to mak the charges comparable with those of other services, while offering unique advantages through its system of co-ordinated stations and wllOlc-time drivers qualified in First Aid; and the Transport Committee at it meeting in October reduced the ubscription to the Unemployed (on termination of ix month' free call), Old Age Pensioners, and \Yidows of ubscriber from l d. to td. per week. ~1EDICAL

PUBLIC DUTY.

It is o~ce again my great pleasure to draw attention to the response of the BrIgade Overseas to the many and varied calls made upon it for

THE

public duty. Among the outstandi~g examples of public duty performed during the year I wo~ld mentIon the work.done by the NO'.2 Di trict of India on the occa Ion of the great IndIan earthquake m January, 1934. The Calcutta District di patched to tl~e triken area a self-contained unit which was able to erect a fully eqmpped temporary ho pital and to staff it with nur es and orderlie. l\~uch I?edical and relief work was accomplished and it is a matter for at! factlOn that the Chapter-General of the Order has recognized the good. wo~k performed by the granting of a Vote of Thanks on Vellum t~ the DI tnct conce~ned. In the Hong Kong District where the spl~r:dId work of the .Bngade Overseas in time of stress has become a traditIon there was agam a call for immediate action on a large scale when a ga ometer, situated in a crowded part of the Colony, exploded a~d set fire to the surrou?di~g streets. Practically the whole of the Bngade strength of the DI tnct was mobilized for duty in a very short time and the work of rescue and treatment went on all day. At one time the rush of c~sua~ties was so great as to necessitate the forming of a temporary hospItal m a nearby hotel. In Australia and New Zealand the visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester has called for many hours of duty from the members of the Brigade Overseas and at all places th~ extra du.ties thus required were . efficiently carried out and earned the hIghest praIse. In South Africa the visit of H.R.H. Prince George m the early part of the year gave opportunities for public duty that were ent~u ia tically accepted by members of the Brigade within the Commandery m outhern Africa. In addition to these outstanding examples of public duty an everincreasing amount of public duty ~s don~ quietly: week by week in all parts of the Empire where the Bngade IS established and many ~ases have been reported where the services of the members of tl:e Bngade Overseas have been instrumental in the saving of life under dIfficult and dangerous circumstances. The full detai~s of the number of cases treated during the year have not yet been receIved by these I:ieadquarters but it is estimated that 121,357 cases were treated on public duty. VISITORS.

It has again been my privilege to meet many visitors from Ov~rseas at St. John's Gate. I was particularly glad to have an opportumty.of meeting Sir David Petrie, Chief ComI?issior:er for the EmpIre of IndIa, and also the senior officers of the Bngade m Hong Kong and Uganda. GENERAL.

New ground has been broken by the formation of a Polic~ D~vision of the Brigade at Cyprus and by the formation of a further Dlstnct of the Brigade in India with Headquarters at Mysore. . The Cadet Regulations of the Brigade Overseas have been reVIsed and copies circulated to all Cadet Divisions: A Cade~ Bookl~t. ha~ .been introduced in order to interest the Cadet m the keepmg of hIS mdIVldual record. A card index of the individual membership of the Brigade Overseas is now practically complete and it is hoped that this will facilitate the work at Headquarters.

REPORT OF TIlE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

I am pleased to be ahle to report that the Film of the Order has now been shown throughout South Australia, New South Wales, and Tasmania. With regard to the work in each Dominion : AUSTRALIA.

In the New South Wales District the work continues to be maintained at a very high standard. Three new Ambulance and two new Nursing Divisions have been added to the strength during the year and the general expansion of the work in this District has necessitated larger premise for the District Headquarters. On the occasion of the visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester to Sydney the Brigade was on duty at every function during the four days of the visit and in that period attended to 3,507 casualties. On the day of the arrival of His Royal Highness 634 members of the District were on duty along the route of the procession. Many letters of appreciation have been received by the Di trict Headquarters in which the work of the Brigade during the Royal i it was highly commended. In the South A 'Ustralia District the re-organization by the Commissioner has been completed and the position consolidated during the year. There has been much public duty performed and in some cases the local authorities have co-operated with the Brigade in the building and staffing of Beach First id Huts. It is pleasing to record that it has been possible to organize competitions in First Aid and Home Nursing during the year. It is proposed to hold these competitions annually and by thi mean to encourage the Divisions to maintain a high standard of fficiency and promote a healthy rivalry between them. The visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester called for many hours of extra duty and on the occa ion of a demonstration by schoolchildren at the Adelaide Oval members of the Brigade were on duty from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and in the cour e of the day treated 205 cases. In the TVestern A 1fstralia District two new Divisions have been formed in the goldfield area. One of the outstanding events of the year was the visit of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester to Perth who on his arrival was pre ented with an Address of Welcome from the Western Australia entre of the As ociation and District of the Brigade. Later His Royal Highness invested Di trict Surgeon J. J. Holland with the insignia of a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John. Dr. Holland had the further di ,tinction of being appointed medical attendant to His Royal Highness during the latter's stay in \Vestern Australia. CANADA.

In Canada the year has been noteworthy for the establishment of the Commandery of the Order and the consequent alterations in the Headquarters and Control of the Brigade Overseas within the Dominion. The Headquarters of the Brigade are now at Ottawa at the Commandery Headquarters, and Colonel J. Clarke, the Director of Ambulance in the Commandery, is also Commandery Commissioner for the Brigade. I received with very real regret the resignation of Major-General Sir Henry Mill Pellatt as Chief Commissioner for Canada. He has served the Brigade Overseas since the year 1912 and I should like to express my gratitude to him for the keen and active interest he has always taken in the work of the Brigade Overseas in Canada.

THE

CEYLON. . The members of the Ceylon Police Corps of the Brigade Overseas have again been instrumental in saving many lives during the year by reason of their knowledge of first aid. Many of the cases treated call for the ~xhibition of much resource on the part of members as they often occur m places far removed from the police stations and where no medical help is available. The Corps was inspected in October by His Excellency the Governor who congratulated the Parade on the keenness and efficiency shown. HONG KONG. I am glad to report that the Hong Kong District has again maintained its strength and efficiency and has during the year responded so splendidly to the calls made upon its resources in times of urgency and disaster. The increasing activities of the Hong Kong District is evidenced by ~he fact ~hat during the year t.he fifth motor ambulance has been put m~o ~erVIce. T~e amb~ance IS actually the sixth purchased by the DIstnct, one havmg preVIously been presented to the medical authorities in Shanghai at the conclusion of the activities of the Hong Kong contingent which did service there in the fighting of 1933. INDIA. I have already referred in this report to the magnificent work performed on the occasion of the great Indian Earthquake di aster. Among other matters of interest I am glad to be able to report that it was possible to hold the All-India Competitions; they were held at Calcutta from 11th to 17th January. It is also a matter for satisfaction that a V.A.D. Scheme has been sanctioned for India and that its detachments are to be recruited from the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas. NEW ZEALAND. In this Dominion 19 new adult Divisions and 11 new Cadet Divisions were formed during the year and this continued increase is a matter for congratulation and reflects great credit on all members within the Dominion. During the year a new wing of the Auckland Headquarters was opened by L?rd Bledisloe and this up-to-date building should be of the greates t help ill the work of the District. Another interesting feature of the year has been the adoption by the Commandery in New Zealand of the Christchurch St. John Ambulan ce Review as the official organ of the Commandery. There is no doubt that this will be a great benefit to all sections of. t?~ work in Ne~ Zealand and will help to link together the various DIVISIOns of the Bngade scattered throughout the Dominion. KENYA, UGANDA, AND ZANZIBAR. T~e work ?f the Police Divisions in Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar contmues to mcrease and very valuable first aid work has been carried O?t by members of these Divisions often in very difficult and trying CIrcumstances. I am pleased to be able to report the keen interest among the members in attempting to spread a knowledge of First Aid

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

among the native population not only to the recruits to their own Forces but by every other means possible . A point of interest is the arrangement by which First Aid equipment is now kept at the aerodrome at Zanzibar for immediate use in emergencies and a trctcher party from the Division is on duty on occasions which call for their presence. SOUTH AFRICA. The work of the Brigade Overseas within the Commandery in Southern Africa continues to be maintained with marked success. During the year a new District of the Brigade has been formed comprising part of the Cape Province District and known as the Griqualand West District with Headquarters at Kimberley. CO CLUSION. I very much regret to have to record the death on 27th October, 1934, of Major-General Sir Richard Havelock Charles, Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas during the period 1920-1930. Sir Havelock (harie did much valuable service for the Brigade Overseas during his period of office which covered a very difficult period in the history of all voluntary organizations such as ours. I know that many Officers and f mbers of the Brigade Overseas will feel a very real sense of loss at hi pas_ing. Resolution of regret, indicative of the esteem in which he was held, have been received from the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India where ir Havelock Charles spent many years of his life. In conclusion I would express my thanks to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, for her loyalty and devotion to the interest of the Nursing Divisions during the year, and to my taff Officer, Captain A. T. Cahusac, M.C., who has given his usual most valuable a istance. To all officers and members of the Brigade Overseas I very gladly pay tribute because of their unswerving loyalty and self-sacrificing servic which have once again been so evident in the year's work under review. I tender to them my hear tie t congratulations on the high standard of the work performed and my best thanks for the many duties so willingly undertaken. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, ( gd .) J AMES L. SLEEMA (Colonel), Chief Commissioner, St. J ohn Amb'ulance Brigade Overseas.

This is indicative of the keener interest being taken in the work not only by the public but also by the officers and members themselves, but there is still a great necessity for further Divisions in order to be able to respond to the ever increasing demands made upon the Brigade. I much regret the resignation, through ill-health and other rea ons, of some of my officers (especially in Canada), who have served the Brigade Overseas faithfully for many years. Their loyalty and devotion to the work during strenuous and anxious times has been an inspiration to their Divisions which will never be forgotten. To them and to all my officers and members I would desire to express my deep appreciation and thanks for their services to the work as well as for the great kindness and sympathy they have shown me personally during my recent very severe illness. With the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations being held in the year 1937, I trust that large representations will come from all parts of the Empire, as I feel sure that they will all wish to take part in such a memorable occasion. I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) BEATRICE H. DENT, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief.

AUSTRALIA.- N ew South Wales District.- Wing-Commander H. R . G. P oat e, M.B., Commissioner in Charge of the New South Wales District, reports :The year unr1.er review has been one of pronounced activity in every department of Brigade work, and has amply fulfill ed the anticipations expressed in my last r eport. This can be attributed to better economic conditions, and to the growing public interest which is being shown in the activities of our Divisions. In almost every suburb and town where a Division exists there has been an increasing demand for its services. Most important and gratifying also is the spread of our work into country districts as during the year three (3) new Ambulance Divisions were formed at Leeton, Junee, and Katoomba . This is extremely satisfactory, and encourages me to hope that the fort.hcoming year will see the formation of further new unit.s, both in and outside the Metropolitan Area. Whilst the formation of new Divisions is much desired, every attention is given to existing Divisions. During the year it was found necessary to rent larger offices, owing to the rapid expansion of our activit.ies, and on 1st ::\larch, the Brigade H eadqua rters moved into new quarters in the same building. One room is set apart for meetings, etc. , and is much appreciated by Divisional Officers. Some very interesting and useful work has been carried out by Lady District Superintendent 1\Irs. John Iaund. She has organized. a fund from which amounts are loa ned to ursing Diyi ions for the purchasing of outdoor uniform coats . Thi s innovation has been very helpful to several Divisions . The Brigade in ew South Wales is now so highly trained and disciplined that the whole st.renhrth could be placed at the disposal of the St.ate Government at very short not.ice should it.s services be required in case of national emergency. It may be of interest to the general public to know that the voluntary work of the Brigade is rapidly increasing, as is evidenced by the fact that during the year no less than 55 , 05 casualt.ies were treated without fee or reward. ndoubtedly the most important public duty of the year was the Royal visit to ew outh "Yales of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester, K .G. This memorable duty is dealt 'with in another paragraph of this report.

Inspection of Divisions. On account of the increased number of Divisions, and the great distances to be travelled between Ietropolit.an and Country Divisions, the task of carrying out individual inspections with such a small District Stafi is fast becoming a heavy undertaking. However, my staff shouldered the added work and conducted the inspectio ns very thoroughly, \o\'ith the exception of one or two which were carried out by the Divisional Surgeons. I was very pleased to find from the reports sent me that all divisions were carrying on st.rictly in accordance with the Rf:'gulations and that the standard of efficiency and discipline was of the highest order. As us ual the District Superintendent visited the Country Divisions at Adamstown, Lithgow, Portland, and Bulli-vVoonona, and reports a very gratifying advance in all round efficiency which he found was general in the country, the result of intensive

The visit to Victoria of H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester, who attended for these celebrations, coupled with the general programme that was arranged to mark the occasion, resulted in the work of the Brigade being prominently before the public notice. All duties were performed in an extremely satisfactory manner and it was found that t~e personnel of the Brigade was sufficient and capable of meeting this demand, reflectmg the utmost credit on the entire organization. The usual duties such as Football Matches, Royal Agricultural Show, Henley Day, Beach Patrols, Picnics, Anzac Day March, 'were performed in addition to the general Centenary programme. Apart fr,?m the arrival of His Royal Highness, the main Centenary duties performed by the Bngade were at the Dedication of the Shrine of Remembrance on 11th November, at which it was estimated approximately 300,000 people attended and upwards of 400 patients treated. ~he E.ucharistic Congress attended by approximately 500,000 people where the Bngade m one dav attended 750 persons. At the State School Demonstration at the Melbourne Cricket Ground which was given on four different occasions, the members again proved their efficiency to handle any emergency. . From !he experien~e gained in the past year, I do not contemplate any marked lllcrease m membershIp as the number we now have appears to be sufficient. The Annual Inspection was held in Government House Grounds, Melbourne, on 8th December, where His Excellency, Lord Huntingfield, accompanied by Colonel R. Fowler, Deputy Director of Medical Services, inspected the Parade.

Wester1.t Australia District.- Dr. H . G. Tymms, Commissioner Charge of the Western Australia District, reports : -

.It is my. pleasure to again report that interest in the Brigade has been well sustamed durmg the year under review. One new Ambulance Division was formed on the Goldfields, namely the Boulder Perseverance, and the work was extended in the towns of Bunbury and Geraldton by the ~orI?ation of Nur~iJ?-g Divisions, with a consequent increase in the strength of the dlstnct, now compnsmg 22 Ambulance and 4 ursing Divisions. The numerical strength (If Divisions is 577 compared with 55 1 last year. The returns of the Divisions disclose that 1,404 cases were attended on Public Duty throughout the year. In country towns, wh~re. by the way the Ambulance Transport is controlled by Sub-Centres of the ASSOCIatIOn, the members of the Divisions have rendered valuable service in manning the vehicles. It might be of interest to record that the permanent drivers attached to the Service in ~he capital city, which is also operated by the Association, are members of the Bngade. The number of members in possession of the Service Medal is 16, six of whom also possess a Bar. During the year, Dr. J. J . Holland, District Surgeon, was promoted to the Grade of Knight of G:a~~ of the ,:ener~ble Order of St. John and Corporal . B. Krug of the Perth o. 1 DIVISIOn admItted m the Grade of Serving Brother in recognition of distinguished services in the Ambulance Department of the Order. Vellum Vote of T~anks .w:e:e also awarded to Dr. J. R. Donaldson, Divisional Surgeon, Perth ~rsmg DlvlslOn, Dr. B. C. Cohen, Divisional Surgeon, Perth No.1 Division, and MISS Vera Drew, Lady Ambulance Officer, Perth Nursing Division. In conclusion, I desire to again tender my very best thanks to the Officers of the District for their continued help and loyalty, and to the Divisional Surgeons, officers and rank and file of the Divisions for their support in maintaining the work throughout the year.

BERMUDA.-Divisional Superin tendent Superintendent Dr. C. Curtis, report s : -

F ray, on behalf of Dist rict

. D uring the year 1934 the Hamilton Divisions of the Brigade Overseas has held ItS own. T he strength of the Division is a little lower than at the end of 1933 , d u e

t o r esignations of men who found it impossible to attend due to niuht working and having left the District. 0 The average. attenda~c~ at drill.s is better than formerly, and the men are taking much greater mterest m mstrucbon. There has been a steady increase of Public Duty during the year and we are looking forward to a further increase in this direction as time passes. The Ca?et sec~ion is ste~dily increasing in strength. 16 Cadets have now qualified for first aId certificates whlle a number of these boys have made a determined start to get certificates in the other subjects with a view ultimately of obtaining the Grand Prior's adet Badge. The Cadet Superintendent is fortunate in having the assistance of a member of th~ ~oyal :'.1arines to assist in teaching special subjects-Signalling, Sea. and Boat Trammg, ('t~. T~e Cadet section has shown marked improvement dunng the year under conSIderatIOn, and an effort is now being made to get these boys into uniform.

CypRus.-Divisional Superintendent W . C. C. K ing reports :During the years 1929, 1932 and 1933 spasmodic instruction of members of the Cyprus Iilitary Police in first aid took place and a number of First Aid Certificates w:ere obtained. The~e was, however, no systematic instruction, lectures or organizabon, and very few mdeed had any but the extremely little knowledge which is more dangerous than none at all, though service badges were being worn as a matter of course. These were removed at my instance . On 14th February, 1934, application was made to St. John's Gate for permission to form and register a Cyprus Police Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigad e Overseas. I ending sanction, the Cyprus Government was addressed by me on the subject of First Aid Instruction and equipment for the Police, and a special gr ant of £20 'w as secured for this purpose. The formation of the Cyprus Police Division of the. ~t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas was sanctioned by the Chief CommISSIoner WIth effect from 31st larch, 1934, and the whole subject was then put on a properly organized basis. F~om the £20 granted by Government, text-books, triangular bandages, a speCImen, Furley stret.cher, and a fiHed first aid hamper were obtained from St. John's Gate. The two latter were copied locally, and we now have 4 st.retchers and 4 fitted hampers at our 4 largest Police Stations. Instruction in stretcher drill will be undertak n in 1935, wh n the numb r of stretchers will be increased. During the course of the year all members of the Division went through a refreshe r course of lectures and at the end of the year an annual re-examination and inspection were held for the first time. D~ri.ng the year no .spe~ial cases caI?-e to notice of good first aid work by the police, but It IS hoped that 1ll i.lme these WIll corne as a matter of course as the Division develops and its members realize their duties aud responsibilities. The. t?~al membership of the Di.vi.s~on on 31st December, 1934, was 50, including the Dn'IslOnal Surgeon and the DIVISIOnal Superintendent. I am pleased to be able to report 1hat the Cyprus Government has been good enough to vote £50 towards First Aid instruction and equipment for the Police in 1935, and t.he Division should now go ahead and make organized, steady and definite progress. I am much indehted to the Divisional Surgeon (Dr. C. C. H. Cuff) for all his ass ist~nce and those of his District ledical Officer, whose help and time were gratuitously gl\'eo up to the Police for lectures and practical instruction.

Two of our nurses have 15 years service to their credit. Superintendents Rumjahn and U I(ai Sheung have qualified for the Service Medal. Dr. \V. B. A. loore, Brigade Surgeon, Serving Brother of the Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem, has been awarded the ervice l\ledal. He was a.Lect:urer of the St. John Ambulance Association as far back as 1906, and ?as been Iden.ti.fied 'with the Bricrade since its formation. He has assisted at all the Bngade Competitions and has de:oted many Sundays to that purpose. His experience and advice are always available and cheerfully given. .. The Railway Division has a splend.id record of ?ervI~e, eIght of the members being awarded the Service l\ledal and SIX others qualIfied Ir; 1934: . District Superintendent Ralston also comple~es 19 years se~vIc~ In June, 1935. In a Colony of an ever moving population, thIS record of servIce IS one to be proud of, and compares favourably with other better. situated places. Thirty members have now earned the ServIce Medal.

Instructions and Examinations. The customary lectures and examinations have been given and the re-examinations held. Eighty members passed for Me~allion, 150 for Labe~, and 20 for Pendant. In addition to lectures for Bngade members, l\laJor Anderson, R .A . M.C ., conducted First Aid lectures which were open for women and Dr. Matthews gave a series of First Aid lectures at the Y.JVI.C.A. for men. But unless the qualifying examinations are taken it is a waste of the lecturer's valuable time, as so many " shirk" the examination. The same applies to Home Nursing examinations conducted by Dr. Ruttonjee and Mrs. Humphrey: the attendance was irregular, and in .two or three c~ses candidates shirked the examination a few hours before appeanng at the hospItal. Brigade members are not allowed to do this or they lose a year's efficiency and are eventually asked to resign. Lectures are free as are also examinations, the only charge being for certificates issued. Public Duties.-Attendance at fires, accidents, sports, races, foot.ball mat.ches, King's birthday, Armistice Day, M.C.L. Gala, and the 1ilitary Searchlight Tattoo. Gasometer Explosion.-Members from practically every Division were on duty at the scene of the gasometer explosion, when about 50 people lost their lives and many were burnt. Members of the King's College Present Boys' Division, A/O Tse Long Chui and Sergt. Hyder, were on the scene a few minutes after the occun:ence. First Ai9station was established near by and both men and nurses remaIned on duty unhl all cases received First Aid attention and, where necessary, were despatched to hospital. . The Mui Fong Girls' College sent students to round up httle ones who were lost, and established a food depot at the First Aid Station. The work did not stop there, for the Brigade administered the Telegraph Relief Fund and that of the Kung Sheung Yat Po, which amounted to more than, 5,000. Members of the King's College Divisions personally investigated all cases of persons applying for relief, visited the hospitals, and obtained a l.ist of the sufferers. This relief work continued for many weeks. Some were set up ill bUSIness, others secured Hawker's Licences on the recommendation of the Secretary, who took charge of the administration of the Fund subsequent to the" Leave" of the Commissioner. The early relief scenes were indescribable, as heavily bandaged ap'p~icants, some brought in chairs, waited for the doors to be opened: the most pItiful were the babies in arms bearing signs of burns-some were very badly burnt. Medical relief as well as financial relief was given, as many badly burned cases were discovered, some of whom had either refused to go to hospital or had declined to remain after treatment. The help of the Brigade doctor was obtained and under his daily supervision the burns were dressed. Only eye-witnesses have any conception of the appalling scenes, which are unforgettable.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

For services rendered at t.he time, the Chapter-General of the Order has recommended t.o B..RH. the Grand Prior that Vellums of Thanks be granted to A/O Tse Long hui, Carpls. Ma Vat Chui and Lam Ying of the King's College Divisions, and to Sergt. Hyder of t.he Indian Division. Jo.Ten's Di7lisions.-The strength of the Divisions has remained steady with the exception of t.he King's College Divisions-Ambulance and Cadet. The Motor Drivers' Division, under the tuition of Mr. Leung Sui Sang, former Divisional Superintendent of King's College Present Boys' Division, has now a membership of 30, an increase of 14. Unfortunately the present financial position prevents us from equipping recruits with uniform as has previously been done, and in future all new members must pay the cost of uniform . Hitherto t.he Hong Kong Brigade members have been generously treated in this respect, as they have not been required to contribute towards maintenance and equipment. One regrets to report that the King's College Present Boys' Division, members of which rendered invaluable service at. the gasometer explosion disaster, is no longer functioning as a separate Division but has been amalgamated with the King's College Old Boys' Division, as nearly all of the members have left school. The I\:ing's College Cadet Division, being leaderless as a result of this amalgamation, is now dormant.. First. Aid, IIome Tursing, and Home Hygiene form part of the curriculum in the majorit.y of schools in India, where the Junior Red Cross is very active and is supported hy t.he 1\'1 u nicipal Councils. Accidents in the playing fields and at school, if improperly treated, often lead to permanent disablement or unnecessary suffering. A simple fracture has been converted to a compound one by " Meddlesome First Aid". Similarly a knowledge of Home Tursing will enable a doct.or t.o be speedily called if a knowledge of temperature and pulse is a cquirecl, and so a life may be saved. In addition t.o ordinary routine lectures and examinations, several of the nurses attended the ,o'"ernment Civil Hospital for practical work from 4 to 6 p.m. daily for a month To the Principall\latron and Tursing Staff we are very grateful, also to isLers \Vat.kins, \\'ho conducted the Home ursing Examination for the English class. Other nurscs went as far afield as heung Chau and Karn Tin, spending one or two wecks in residcnce . One of them, a trained hospital nurse, spent her vacation at th e hcung han Hospital and rendered valuable assistance in the Maternity 'Vard and in the ut-1 at.icnts' Departm nt. I wi h that. ot.her hospitals in t11f' Colony would grant similar facilities to the St. John nurses, for in England thcy are required to put in a practical course. \\'e arc hoping to have a nurscs' summcr camp in the ncw territories with duty and pleasurc combined . The Y .l\f. . .-\. Di\'ision works stcadily and maintains its uniformity of strength -cvcn thc marnccl member remam staunch . . The Yicton<t Tur ing Division, so long dormant, has at last been revived by the tIreless cfforts of Dr. Ruttonjce, and we now have a Division of English-speaking membcrs, '1.\\0 of whom are our pioncer nurses- ursing Officer Lopes and Sister Fok Kum Yung. This Division was the first Tursing Division to be enrolled in 1916 and consisted principally of tcachcrs from the Belilios Girls' School. Dr. Rultonjee is one of our most enthusiast.ic surgcons and it was she who made arrang~ments for t.he Indian Red ross members, amongst whom were Dr. l\Iehta and Dr. Allce Pennell, two of India's foremost social welfare works. Dr. ~ Irs .) I o\'e~, our Lady Corps urgeon, in spite of her numerous duties, always finds .time t.o s~pennt.~nd the arrangement for the inspections, and is most indefatigable III arranglllg socml functions- a source of revenue. The success of our .Flag Day was due to the Nursing Divisions and the voluntary helpers, who also aSSIsted at the British Empire Cancer Campaign Flag Day. To all those voluntary h elpcrs, the Brigade is deeply indebted, especially to Mrs. Ingram, who was the Convenor for Kowloon, and to Mrs. Taylor, Convenor for the Peak and the Victoria Districts.

There was no bad work anywhere." Jl,.lok Cho Ch1ten Cu.p.-The Mok Cho Chuen Cup is for the best squad in the Brigade for First Aid. The competition was held on the Murray Parade Ground, which was kindly lent for the occasion by the Military Authorities. Major Kennedy and Dr. 'lvV. B. A. 100re acted as e.xaminers. . ..

Seven Divisions competed and the Shield was won by the Vlctona Nursmg Division by the narrow margin of one mark, the Central Nursing Division being the runners-up. The Y.W.C.A. and King's College Divisions tied for third place. Bed-making proved the obstacle with several of the Divisions, ?ue to lack of practice and unfamiliarity with the Western type of bed and bed clothmg. The nurses who attended for practical work at the hospitals benefited by the experience thus gained and deserved the highest marks. Hearty thanks are due to Dr. Dovey and Miss Leung for the time and care taken in conducting the competition.

Headquarters.-Lack of Headquarters has severely handicapped Brigade members, especially in the clerical work, as since the r etirement of the Commissioner of. the Headmastership of King's College there has been no place for lectures or meetmgs except a small room in the temporary Headquarters . However there are prospects of our palatial new Headquarters b eing opened early in May, thanks to the generosity of the family of the late Mr. Chan Yue Teng -one of our staunchest supporters.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

The Headquarter's Stone is one of the stones from St. John's Gate which makes it still more appealing. Already the members are planning great things for the Opening D ay. Esprit de Corps.-Much must be said of the splendid esprit de corps of the members of the Brigade during the absence on furlough of the Commissioner. At a farewell tea party given to Mr. Morris before his departure, promises were made of co-operation during his absence, and these promises were kept to the letter. The Finance Committee, und er the Chairmanship of Mr. Tang Shiu Kin, held frequent meetings; Staff Officers and Divisional Officers met fortnightly at the temporary IIeadquarters; ew Territories Clinics were visited; Public Duties arranged for; the Motor Drivers Division provided drivers; letters and circulars were distributed t.hrough the kindness of Mr. Fan Shin am; Medicines were t.ransport.ed t.o t.he New Territories by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Divisio n. Irs. Dunlop of the Transport Division was a valuable ally both for visiting the ew Territories and assisting with the clerical work. The Hon . Secretary is greatly und ebted to Dr. \V. B. A. Moore, Brigade Surgeon, and Superintendent Ralston for their help and advice over matters pertaining to the Jew Territories and in looking after the International Red Cross visitors. To the Hon. Sir \Villiam Shenton t.he Brigade is greatly indebted for his advice and assist.ance in matters which were beyond the jurisdiction of the Secretary; few members realize what Sir William really does behind the scenes, the stony paths he smooths for us and the far reaching results which accrue from his efforts. Unfortunat.ely not only was the Commissioner absent, but Drs. Woo, Tseung Fat In and Superintendent Trevor were also on long leave, so we were depleted of officers. It is interesting t.o note that the absentees from the Brigade assembled at St. John's Gate, where they met the active Headquarters officers and marvelled at the historic relics of the place. Bngade J1!bilce.-The St. John Ambulance Brigade celebrates its Jubilee in 1937 . In 1931, on the occasion of t.he Centenary Celebrations of t.he revival in England of the Order of t. John of Jerusalem, Hong Kong was represented by Miss Jaq ues (now Mrs. Lampanl). Headquarters ha\'e written that they are most anxious that special eiIorts should be made for a contingent to be sent from Hong Kong, consisting of representat.ives of the District StaiI and at least one member from each Division. Thi will ent.ail not only a great deal of organizing but a lso a special appeal for funds. Many o~ the members have already expressed their willingness to go, not only for t.he holtday but for t.he All Empire Competitions. It is therefore hoped that t.he funds will be forthcoming. Rcgrcts.-In Finale. \\'e say Good-bye with real regret to His Excellency the Governor, ir \Vllliam Peel, our Patron and Knight of Grace of the Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and to Lady Peel, our District Superintendent, Officer of the Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem, who will shortly be leaving the Colony. To His Excellency t.he Brigade is indebted for the gift of Crown Land by the Government for our Headquarters, which we hope will be opened before he leaves, To Lady Peel we are indebted for the loan of Government houses at Kam Tim wh~ch have been converted into a small Cottage Hospital for women and children: Th1s hospital has been visited by many people and has been of invaluable help to those vi llagers living in the outlying districts. The Visitors' Book tells of visitors fro~ all parts of the world. Kam Tim is one of pioneer clinics. ~lS Excellency and Lady Peel have taken a great interest in the work of the Bngade and Associat.ion, \'isiting t.he clinics and giving advice, and even criticism, where. ne~cssary. \Ve are very sorry to lose them, especially at a time when the orgaOlzahon has grown to such an extent that \ye need careful pilotage, and also when the Corps has become incorporated on similar lines to that of Canada, with the Governor General at the Head. We wish His Excellency and Lady Peel God Speed and the best of health and happiness in the future.

INDIA.-Sir David Petrie, C.LE., C.V.O ., C.B.E., Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, reports :. The year 193-! opened with a great disaster, the Bihar earthquake, one of the worst dlsturbances that has occurred within living memory, and which brought ruin to

the people and the country over an area of no less than 6,000 ~q~are mile~. The St. John Ambulance Brigade at once set itself to the tCl;sk .of asslstIng the slck Cl;nd the injured, and, in co-operation with the Bengal Provlllclal Branch of the IndIan Red Cross Society, mobilized a Camp Hospital, fully equipped with tents, doctors, nurses, medicines, ambulance workers, etc., and despatched it to Monghyr, the worst affected area, where it arrived on the 22nd January, i.e. within a week a~ter the disaster. This was one of the first relief units to appear upon the scene, and ItS work was much appreciated. At Jamalpur, on the East Indian Railway, Brigade members also rendered valuable assistance to earthquake victims. 'the wife of the Divisional Surgeon of the E. I. Railway Ambulance Division at Jamalpur and Private S. K. MondaI of another Division perished in the earthquake. The Chief Commissioner in London showed his appreciation of Brigade work in the earthquake area by issuing a Special Order, the text of which is reproduced below:" The Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas wishes to convey his warmest congratulations to all those doctors and ambulance. workers who formed the hospital unit which proceeded to 10nghyr followlllg the earthquake in January, 1934 . " The work that was rendered proved of the highest possible benefit and unquestionably resulted in the saving of many live~. 'Vork of this na!ure is exactly that for which the St. John Ambulance Bngade Overseas eXlsts, and it is highly gratifying that on this occasion it brought relief from s~ffering to Indians for whom we possess the deepest sympathy. The work carne~ out was in the highest traditions of the St. John Ambulance Bngade Overseas and reflects most creditably upon the spirit of those who were engaged in this valuable work." The Chapter General of the Order also a'warded a Vellum Vote of ~hanks ~o o. II District, which furnished the ambulance personnel for the Ho~pltal Umt. The year 1934 has seen a rapid advance in m<;tny dir~ctions. T~e total number of Divisions rose from 72 to 86, the new formatIons bemg 2 ursmg and 1 Cadet Nursing Divisions in _ o. I District (Lahore), 4 Ambulance Divi~ions in TO. II District (Calcutta), 3 Ambulance Divisions at Bangalore (~~uth IndlCl:), and 4 ~a?et Ambulance Divisions in the United Provinces. In addltIon to the four eXIsting Districts with headquarters at Lahore, Calcutta, Bombay and Mad:a~, a new Distri~t was formed in lysore State with headquarters at. B~ngalore. Thls IS the first un.lt uf the Brigade Overseas in an Indian State, and It IS hoped that o~her States ~vill follow suit. The existing Divisions in the United Provinces and Blhar and Onssa remain for the present under the direct super.Yisi?n of headq.uarte~s. Another important event has been the resuscltatIon of the Bngade m Burma, where activities lapsed after the Great War. During the ye<;tr ~reat strid~s were made in reorganizing the whole work of the Order, both A~soclatlOn and Bngad~, and the Committee was reconstituted with Mr. \V. D. Cargill Thompson as Chalrman. Sir Ernest Burdon, KC.I.E., C.S.!., I.C.S., very capably acted in my place during my absence from India on leave from April to October.. ., Miss A. M. Philips, R.R.C., who as the Lady Supenntendent-lll-Chlef rendered valuable assistance in the administration of the Nursing Divisions, resigned from this post on retirement from India, and her place has been filled by Miss E. V. Forrest, R.R.C., Q.A.I.M.N.S. Lady Irving's departure from India, on h~r husband's retire~en~, left a great gap in No . I District. As Lady District Supenntendent her serVlces III all branc~es of our work have been invaluable. She was the promoter of the first Cadet ursmg Division in No. I District, and it was through her influence that the first Tursing Division for purdah women was formed. Her unfail~ng energy and courage i~ the face of all difficulties were an inspiration to all worklllg under her, and she will be sadly missed. Her appointment as Lady District Superintendent has been filled by Mrs. V. M. Puckle. In No. II District Lt.-Colonel A. D.

having been connected with the District since 1913, and his loss to Bombay is great. Mr. D. F. Panthaki, M.B.E., J .P., is now officiating in this appointment. No. IV District has not been very active in the past, but efforts are being made by the present Assistant Commissioner, Major-General Sir Frank Connor, Kt., D.S.O., K.H.S., I.M .S., to improve the situation and to start new Divisions. The Surgeon-in-Chief, Major-General C. A. Sprawson, C.I.E., KII.P., I.M.S., inspected the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions of No. II and III Districts in November and December, and recorded his satisfaction with the smartness of the turn-out and the efficiency of the members. Death has removed during the year two devoted workers, Dr. S. P. Motafram, M.B., B.S., Surgeon of the Surat Cosmopolitan Division, and Khan Sahib Dr. J. D. Desai, M.B., B.S., Divisional Surgeon of the Parsi Ambulance Division. I have also to record our sense of profound sorrow at the death of Major-General Sir Richard Havelock Charles, Bart, G.C.V.O., KC.S .!', LL.D., M.D., F.R.C.S.!" Knight of Justice of the Order, who was until recently the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas. His memory is closely linked with the early days of the Brigade movement in Bengal, where he was the Principal of the Medical College, Calcutta, and where some of the officials of o. II District were his students. The following is a summary of the reports received from the Districts : o 1 DrSTRICT (LAIIORE) .-During the year under report the District, with its headquarlers at Lahore, consisted of 10 Ambulance, 8 Tursing and 4 Cadet Nursing Divisions, which is an increase of 2 Tursing and 1 Cadet Nursing Divisions over the last year's strength . The District has shown increased activity in various directions. A District Church Parade was held at Lahore Cathedral on 4th March. AMBULANCE DIVISIONS . Lahore Indian Railway Division continued ils activities with enthusiasm. Members were detailed for public duties in connection with various sports and athletic meetings. A contingent attended the Armistice Day Parade at Tew Delhi and rendered fir t aid in a fainting case. Carriage anti TV agon and Loco Railway Divisions .-Individual members rendered useful service in the railway workshops.

The additional premises which I mentioned in my last annual report as having been secured by the ssociation in Auckland were opened as a new wing of the Ambulance Station there on the 2nd June last by H.E. The Governor-General in the presence of a very large attendance. The most Rev. the Primate (Archbishop Averill) "\"ho is a Prelate ofthe Order, dedicated the building, which was subsequently declared open by Lord Bledisloe, who paid a high tribute to the work of 51.. John. The additional accommodation now provided will enable all the activit.ies to be more satisfactorily carried out. The Stores Depots at Auckland, '\Vellington, and Christchurch cont.inue t.o pro\e their usefulness and handle a large quantity of material. It is hoped to ultimat ly have a depot at the headquarters of each district. Competitions have during the year taken place at t11 various centres and have as usual aroused much interest. The Inter-District Competitions in tIle Sout.h Island which have been suspended for a few years will he resumed during ]935, when it is expected that they ''''jU be held in Christchurch. The Cadet ompetitions have now become established events and arc eagerly looked forward to by memb rs of the junior branch. Many additional trophies have been presented for competition during the year, one which is deserving of special notice being the Champion of Champions' Cup, which was presented at Christchurch by His Exc('llency Lord Bledisloe. Competitions were held for the first time at Invercargill anrl proved very sllccessful.

In a country such as Zanzibar, which has a.n extensive sea board, there are likely to be cases of ·chowning. For this reason it is very necessary that policemen sho11lCl, as far as possible, be trained in the m('thoc1s of saving life from drowning. For this purpose the Zanzibar Police became affiliated to the Royal Life Savin15 Socie~y. in 1931, and since affiliation memhers of the Force have been sl1ccessful 1TI obtammg the following awards of the Society:Award of Merit 3 Bronze Medallion 36 Proficiency Certificate 38 Elementary Certificate 52 Teachers' Certificate 1

Dy receiving instruclion in giving First Aid every policeman is made to realize that it is his duty to assist persons injured in cases of assault or in accidents. Such act.s engender good relations between police and public. Instead of a policeman being looked upon as an enemy who has probably come to efIect an arrest, this instruction t('nds to make the public realiz(' that a policeman, although out to arrest wrong-cioers, at the same time is ready and willing to render assistance in cases of injury. • s mstances of the value a knowledge of First Aid treatment, the following cases are quoted : (a) On ,\Vednesday, the 2nd May, 1934, at 1.20 p.m., one Shebani bin Mburu, Inyamwezi, came to the Police Station with a wound on the right forearm above 1he wrist which was bleeding badly. He reported that while he was proceeding to Limbani be was suddenly struck by a motor car from behind and the door handle pierced his arm and caused the ."ound. Assistant Inspector Camar-ud-Deen cleaned the surroundings of the wound with iodine and covered the wound with boric lint and absorbent cotton wool (First .\'id dressing) and putting a padded splint bandaged it up and put the arm in a sling and sC:'nt the man to the hospital. The ;'lcdical Officer at the hospital reports that the manner of rendering First Aid Dressing showed efficiency and intelligence and was of benefit to the injured man. (b) On aturday, 2~rd June, a woman who appears to be of weak mind, and who frequently appears at t.he Polio' Station claiming that certain people owe ber man 'y, appeared at the Police Station and made her usual complaint. As she was leaving the Police Station she was h('ard to say that, if she failed to obtain 11 r money she ,,,"ould drown herself. This remark was not treated seriously. A little later information was received that the woman had been found in the sea in front of the Beit-cl-Ajaib. Literate on stable Salim Mohamed, a member of the Division, proceeded to lhe pot and found the "'oman lying on the steps unconscious. She appeared to be br athing but, in order to riel her lungs of the water she had obviously swallowed, LC. Salim 10bamed rendered artificial respiration and then sent the woman to the Gon:rnment Hospital. The woman has since recovered and is now detained in the Pri on Hospital as an alleged wandering luna.tic. (c) Although t.he rescue was not effected by a member of the Divi~ion, the follo"'ing case is of interest : On the 7Lh II Ta)" 1934, an Askari of the African '\Vbarfage Company saw a woman struggling in deep water in the sea. He went to her assistance and succeeCled in bringing her ashore. A reward was paid to the Askari from the .. Secret Service Vote" of the Police Department. (d) The following is a copy of a letter received from the Resident Surgical Officer, Zanzibar Hospital, addressed to the Commissioner of Police : " The night of 4/7 / 34, a woman who had been in a motor accident was brought to hospital. Her hand was completely smashed. I understand that before she was brought to hospital she had bled very considerably: a tourniquet had been applied by a member of your Force, I do not know who, and when she was admitted to hospital there ".as no bleeding nor any during the 5th till 1 p.m. when operation was performed. The tourniquet had been applied a little loosely but it served its purpose, and I have no doubt that the prompt action in a p plying the tourniq uet certainly helped to lessen the shock and collapse." (Signed ) S. M. VA SSALLO .

THE

T. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

Inquiries elicited the fact that the tourniquet had been applied by Assistant Inspector lVlohamedali Omar, who is in possession of a First Aid certificate. This Police Officer on hea ring that there had been a serious motor car accident and that the injured parties bad been brought to the local Police Station, some six miles from Zanzibar, returned to the station and rendered the above First Aid with the assistance of Police Constables and despatched the injured parties to hospital in a passing motor omnibus. H e despatched a rolice Consta ble in charge of the injured woman, and directed him to release the pres ure of the tourniquet every twenty minutes, but to apply the pressure should there still be ~igns of bleeding. The other injured persons suffering from dislocations and bleeding injuries were attended to according to First Aid instructions and were sent to hospital in the same motor bus . (e) "On the 3rd July, at about 10 p .m., the Police Inspec t.or on dut.y at the Central Police ~ tation in Zanzihar received information that a person had fall n into the sea. He proc.eeded to the spot and found two civilians bringing an apparently drowned person to the shore. On arrival at the shore the Inspector with the help of a Police Constable r endered artificial respiration, covered the patient with a blanket and d espatched her to hospital." (f) On the 22nd N"ovember, 1934, at about 5.30 p.m., a Water Police Patrol received information that a dead body was floating in the sea ncar the hulk of the B"itannia. They proceeded to the scene and recovered the body of an unconscious woman. Owing to the smallness of th e boat no artifIcia l respiration could be rendered forthwith. The woman was brought ashore and artificial r espiration was rendered. During this operation a considerable amount of water was expelled from the woman's body. After about 30 minutes the woman regained consciousness and was covered with a rain cape and given hot tea to drink. A hot water bottle not being available P.S. 53 obtained a small tin of hot water which he wrapped in a cloth and applied to the woman's feet. The woman was then removed to hospital.

Annual lnspection.--The an nu al inspection of the Division by Sir Richard Rankine, K.C.l\1.G., took place on Saturday, 15th December. Re-examination.-All the members of th e Division, with the exception of those on leave outside the Protectorate, and those obtaining their certificates in 193-1, were re-examined on 15th/ 16th December and all succeeded in pas ing the re-examination tests. 1\Jembers of the Division owe a deht of gratitude to the Director of :'Iedical Services and Officers of the Iedical Department 'w ho have ungrudgingly given us the advantage of their knowledge and assistance in the training and instruction of candidates and in the general efficiency of the Division. The following gentlemen are specially mentioned : S. M. Vassallo, M.D., F.R.c.s.(Edin) ., D.T.M. & H. J. D. Robertson, M.B., eh.B., B.sc .(Edin.), D .T.l\!' (Liv.).

Dr. Vassallo has not only examined all new candidate~ and re-examined all previous certificate-holders, but has judged the First Aid Competition at the Annual Inspection.

The year's work has been one showing much progress, the record of work carried out by all Officers and 1embers being most satisfactory. From the report received, the majority of Divisions seem to have recovered from the acute economic depression experienced during the last three years. In conclu ion, I desire to express to the Provincial Commissioners, and the Staffs, all Ofncers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and Members of the Brigade, under my con?-mand, ap~reciation and thanks for what has been accomplished, and to ask thClI co-operatIOn for the year 1935 , so that the Brigade may grow bigger in numbers and better in service, striving at all times to " IIold High the Torch" on behalf of " Pro Fide, Pro Utilitate Hominium ". For Faith, For Service to Humanity.

REPORTS FROM D OMI IONS .

THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA. Report of the Cornrnandery Commissioner for the year ended 31st December, 1934 : The Brigade results for the year show that a satisfactory standard was maintained and a large amount of Public Duty was rendered by Members of the Brigade. On the arrival of His Royal Highness Prince George in Cape Town in February, there were over 100 Members on duty and many cases were attended in the streets. The S .A . Railway and Harbours District, after a period of retrenchment, has settled down to more normal conditions. The S.A. Police have taken up Ambulance work seriously, and all new constables whilst training at the Pretoria Headquarters Depot continue to go through a course of First Aid and qualify for the St. John Certificate. With the practical support of the Commissioner of Police, the men at large centres have formed Divisions of the Brigade and turned up in large numbers at the various inspections . There are several Divisions of men in the Municipal Fire Brigades of the Union -the most notable being the Durban Fire Brigade Division. Where the numbers are small they have formed into sections of the local town Divisions. It is very essential that all Firemen throughout the country should be qualified to render First Aid. The ursing Divisions throughout the Union are strong in numbers, keen and efficient. A great deal of this is due to the enthusiasm and fine spirit of their Officers. Several new Cadet Divisions have been formed, and, except in two instances, they have increased their membership and were very smart on parade. Special enthusiasm was shown at the Durban and Bloemfontein inspections. The Town Ambulance Divisions in some instances are finding it difficult to keep up their numbers owing to various causes, mostly financial, but it is hoped that this will be rectified . The usual Ambulance Competitions were held during the year and almost every Division in the country took part in the preliminary Competitions. The final Competitions for the Selborne and Hewart Shields and the Florence Thompson Rose-Bowl were held in Durban and teams from all the Provinces of the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia competed . The standard was declared by the judges to be very high. I inspected the Brigade Divisions in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage, East London, Queenstown, Durban, Maritzburg, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and ·W orcester. At all these inspections a representative of the Director of Medical Services, S. . Defence Force, was present. ~Ir. Alpheus Williams (Knight of Justice), the Director of Ambulance, inspected the various Divisions in the Transvaal and was very pleased with the results of his inspection. At the Johannesburg over 300 members paraded and gave a very impressive display. I must thank Lieut.-Colonel G. Peacock, Commissioner for the Transvaal, for the great interest he has always taken in the Brigade, and everyone will congratulate him on his well deserved promotion to the rank of Commissioner. The inspections of the outlying Divisions of the S.A. Railways and Harbours District were carried out by the respective Assistant Commissioners of the Railway District . In August I inspected the Rhodesian Railways Units at Salisbury, Umtali, Bulawayo, Livingstone and Broken Hill. The men were all very keen and well supported by the Railway Administration. The ursing Divisions at Bulawayo and Salisbury show great promise. Griqualand 'W est has now been made a District, including Kimberley, with Mr. A. A. Coaton as Assistant Commissioner (Acting) and now that the De Beers Mine is gradually starting operations we will hope that the famous De Beers Ambulance Corps will restart also. The organization, equipment and the old Officers are all there. Major Stanley Copley, Mayor of Durban, was appointed Assistant Commissioner in the place of Major H . Tener Galbraith, who resigned. The Members of the Brigade in Durban are most fortunate in the possession of a fine Ambulance Hall and Offices built for them by the Municipality of Durban. This should be a great encouragement to the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Durban and should induce young members to join the Brigade.

The movement amongst the non-European peoples is slowly advancing. In Capetown there are six Divisions-the Ambulance and Nursing Sections each having 1 Moslem and 2 Coloured Divisions. They are very keen on their drills and of smart appearance, and turn out on Public Duty amongst their people, at their sports' meetings, etc. In conclusion, I would thank all ranks of the Brigade for their services rendered during the year.
