REPORT OF THE CHAPTER~GENERAL FOR THE YEAR 1935. THE CHAPTER-GE. ERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associates its Report for the year 1935. ANNUAL SERVICE AND GENERAL ASSE~BL Y. The Annual Fe tival of the Order was held on Monday, 21th June, in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel of St. John. the Almoner, in the ancient crypt, by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. PercIval, K.C .V.O., a Chaplain of the Order, at 8.30 a.m. The Annual ommcmoration Service was held at 2.30 p.m., H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, The Grand Prior, H .R.H. The Duke of Kent, and other members of Chapter-General, headed by the Choir of His Majesty's Chapels Royal and the Clergy, walking in procession from the Chancery at St. John's Gate to the Church. The service was conducted by the Rev. Pr bendary L. J. Percival, and the sermon was preached by His Grace The Archbishop of Canterbury, Prelate of the Order. The Annual General Assembly of Members and Associates of the Order was held after the service in the Chapter Hall at St. John's Gate H.R.H. The Grand Prior presiding. Major-General Sir Percival \Vilkinson, Secretary-General and Director of the Ambulance Department, Colonel J. T. \V. Perowne, Hospitaller, Colonel E. J. King, Librarian, Major-General Sit John Duncan, Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade, and Colonel J. L. Sleeman, Chief Commissioner, St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade Overseas, gave ac~ounts of the work of their respective departments during the year. H.R.H. the Grand Prior then addres_ed the assembly as follows :« CO~FRi£REs .-\A"re shall I am sure have listened to the reports of the year with the greatest satisfaction because they once more record most encouraging progress in our work for humanity. « I have studied these report and desire to emphasize what seem to me to be the salient points in the order of their presentation. « I note that the recommendations for the grant of a further Charter have now been fully considered by Chapter-General and will shortly be s~bmitted to me. I am pleased to learn that the St . John clinic contmu~s to develop its usefulness and is carrying out valuable research work WIth the support of the Cancer Campaign Fund; that the Director of Ambulance reports further development of the teaching of the Ambulance Association in the Dominions and Colonie . and that Dr. Corbet Fletcher has undertaken the revision of his History of the Ambulance Association under the title of Annals of the Ambnlance Department, which has already proved such a valuable book of reference . « All members will welcome the new edition of the Librarian's History of the Order, which deals so clearly with our past and present activities, and also the recent extension of our Museum.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

" It is reassuring to learn from the Ho pitaller that the Warden will in future be relieved of much of his administrative work by the appointment of a secretarY. "I congratulate the Chief Commi ioner of the Brigade at Home on the record increase in both the number of unit and personnel of AmbulancE' and Nursing Division and of Cadet. This has enabled the Brigade to carry out with our complete s~tisfactio.n the very. heavy cal~s on its services due to the Duke of Kent s Weddmg and Hls MaJe ty s Jubilee. It is sati factory to know that arrangements have now b~en made for the further training of it members in the method of protectmg the civil population against bombing and ga attack from the air, and that this instruction will now be ex.tended to the provinccs. I am confident the members of the Brigade will reactily take their share in this new and very important duty. " The work of the Brigade Overseas shows teady development, and the cabled report of its services to the ufferer in the di a trous earthquake at Quetta deserve our highest commendation. "Colonel Sleeman, our Chief Commi sioner for Over ea , will leave England on 4th October, 1935, by the Balmoral Castle, to carry ont a Visitation of the Headquarters of the Commanderie in outh rn Africa and New Zealand. " In conclusion I should wi h to say how pleased we are to have had the great advantage to-day of the services of our Prelatc and to expre our grateful thanks to him for thu indicating the Ycry r al intcre t he takes in our work, and also to thank the officiating Chaplain for hi excellent arrangements for the ervice."

The Sub-Prior said :" Your Royal Highness, Confreres, the encouraging comment. which you, Sir, have made on the reports which have bcen prc ented are, in my humble judgment, and to my knowledge, fully ju tified. Your gracious comments form a fitting conclu ion to the business this afternoon, but we cannot close without asking to be allowed to a ure our Grand Prior what a happiness it is to be able to welcome him here to-day, we hope and believe in good health, and also to thank him for presiding over this Assembly. Now these expressions are very far r moved from anything in the nature of formality, but especially, Sir, on this occasion, because it creates a precedent. Twelve months ago in this Hall I reminded you all that we fervently hoped we should be congratulating our Grand Prior twelve months hence on the completion of twenty-five years in his Office. That hope has been realized to-day, and most truly, Sir, do we express our grateful thanks to you. During this long period the devotion and constant interest, which you, Sir, have shown in the affairs of the Order and its Foundations, whose work for humanity has gone on increasing in utility year by year, has been an inspiration to those who have had the honour to serve under you. " Now, in addition to expressing our gratitude, we feel that we should like to present to Your Royal Highness some tangible record of these twenty-five years, and on behalf of Chapter-General and all members and Associates of the Order we desire to offer you the Service Medal of the Order, which, in the case of your Royal Highness, represents fifteen

A NUAL SERVICE AND GE ERAL ASSEMBLY.

Cant.

ears continuous service, together with two bars, each represe.nting fi:~e That token of service, as Your Royal HIghness IS . by our Statutes and Regulations, conferred only on members :~~r~a~~ done most conspicuous service to the Order. ~Ve had great difficulty in deciding what form our gift to Your Royal H~ghness should take but we finally came to the conclusion that the ervlce ~ledal ~nd Bars' would give you more pleasure than any other fo~m we could dev~se, and we therefore ask your gracious accep~ance of thl~ token of serv~ce, . g you that l't carries with it the umted good WIshes and devotIon assurm 0 d " of every Member and Associate of the r er. . Amid the acclamation of the Assembly, the Ub-PI~lOr then pres~nted to the Grand Prior the Service Medal of the Order WIth two ~ars, m .an oxidized silver frame between glass, mounted on an ebony plinth~ WIth the arms of the Order on one side and the badge of the q-rand Pnor. on the other. On the plinth was an oxidized silver plate, beanng the JubIlee hall mark, and the following inscription:-

~dditional years.

"To Field-Marshal His Royal Highness The Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, K.G. . "This Service Iedal of the Venerable Order of St. John, WIth two bars, is presented by ~hapter-G~n~ral on behalf of all members of the Order in token of theIr appreCIatIon. of twenty~five years ,?f devoted service as Grand Prior of the Order m the BntIsh Realm. " St. John's Day, 1935." The Grand Prior in replying, said : "CONFRERES.-I find it difficult to express adequately how. v~ry much I appreciate the idea of giving me some token of your appreCIatIon of the service which I have had the honour to render for twenty-five years as Grand Prior of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, but may I say as a soldier how very mnch I appreciate a medal. "I assure you that you could not have chosen anything that could have given me greater pleasure. This ~ill be o~e of the. most ,.valued of the many presents which I have receIved dunng my hfe. l' ou are all well aware that I am devoted to the Order of t. John. I have been connected with it for many years, and in all my travels I h';lv~ always done what I hoped would promote the interests of the Order m .lts work for humanity. During the years I have had the honour of bemg your Grand Prior I owe a great deal to those of its Officers who have worked so assiduou 1y and who have shown such devotion to duty and to the honour of thc Order. We are all proud of the decision made some years ago to establish Commanderies in different parts of the Empire. We now have Commanderies in Canada, outh Africa, and New Zealand, and we hope eventually to have them all in our Dominion. " In my opinion no other country in the world has done so much for humanity as Great Britain, and may I add, I venture to think that no body of Britishers has done more noble work in that direction than those connectcd with our Order. " I thank you one and all for your attendance here to-day, and assure you that my keen interest in the Order and its work will continue and will if possible, be stronger in the future than it has been in the past.

Lady Irving. THE ST. JOHN CLINIC AND INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE. The Clinic has continued to develop its various treatments with good effect, though increasing facilities for ordinary Sunlight treatment outside resulted in a decrease in the number of treatments given at the Clinic, which numbered 78,126, of which 15,348 were free. The research carried out by Drs. Reiter and Taylor with Ultra Short Waves referred to in last year's Report has not come up to the original expectation, but has led to fresh lines of work of considerable interest. Members of the Nursing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade have given valuable help in the wards and in the Almoner's Department. The Clinic is working in conjunction with the Lister Institute on the subject of the apparent inter-relationship of arthritis and rheumatic fever. The expenditure of the year exceeded the income by £579 13s. lld. which however has been cleared by a generous donor.

OBITUARY.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

CINEMA FUND COMMITTEE. As foreshadowed in the Report la t year the income of the unday Cinema Fund for the past financial year ended 30th eptember, 1935, has been considerably reduced. Notwithstanding this reduction the Committee was able, with the aid of the 3t per cent Conversion Stock which had been built up as a reserve at a time when there was some uncertainty a to the position of Sunday Cinematograph Entertainments, to meet expenditure as heretofore in connection with Medical Comforts Depots, which continue to perform a useful service, Public Ambulance Duty, etc., there being a larger number of duties taking place partly attributable to event occurring 'within the year of H.M. the King's ilver J ubilce; and such surplus funds as remained in reserve were utilized to provide, to orne extent, for a new motor ambulance urgently needed. As previously reported, income as from 1st January, 1935, from contributions by licensees of cinematograph hall is only available under conditions applicable to the new Undertaking with the Lonuon ounty Council signed that month, for expenditure primarily on ca e treated or helped of persons resident in or drawn from the Admini trati\Te ounty of London, and differs from the original Undertaking, which allowed expenditure over the London Metropolitan Police area. As will be seen from the Balance Sheet on page 89 the ommittee ha in hand the sum of £48 18s. 9d. which is available for dispo al under the terms of the new Undertaking. OBITUARY.

MUSEUM

LIBRARY AND MUSEUM. Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, reports as follows : There have been no new publications relating to the Order during the past year. . In the lower museum (which was opened. up an? fitted out. dunng the previous year), a well with a runnel leading to It .from. ou~sl~e was discovered. These have now been marked by black hnes ll1lald 111 the floor covering, for which we are indebted to Major W. W. Dove, an Ofiicer of the Order. The past year has seen additions to the Order's coUection of antiquites of a most outstanding description. yve have to record ~rst .the G~Ucher Bequest, the gift of the late Mrs. Ellsa GoUcher, who dIed 111 193;), and of her son, Mr. Olof Gollcher, both of them Commanders of the Order. The late Mrs. GoUcher was a sister of Major H. A. Balbi, a Commander of the Order and a member of Chapter-General. The first portion of the Gollcher Bequest, consisting of ~welve items, mostly of silver, was received in July, 1935. Most of the pIeces bear the Maltese hall marks of the Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan (17751797). They include two large silver dishes, one 20t inches in diameter weighing 85 ounces, and the other 19t inches .in dian:eter .and we~gh~ng 59 ounces; a silver ewer, richly chased, 11 111ches 111 heIght welghmg 52 ounces, and a similar one lOt inches in height and weighing 40!- ounces. I t is stated that these dishes and ewers were used in the Conventual Church of the Order for the ceremony of washing the feet of the poor on Maundy Thursday. The remainder of the Gollcher Bequest arrived from Rome jn November last. It consists of 21 pieces of furniture, two large Chinese jars, and a cut-glass chandelier of 42 lights. Amongst the more important items are a large carved walnut chest 5 ft. 6 in. long, bearing the arms of the Grand Master John de ]a Cassiere (1572-1581); a wall clock in Venetian gilt and painted case, bearing the arms of the same Grand Master; an Italian marqueterie side-table, 6 ft. 3 in. long, early eighteenth century, of which a duplicate is to be seen in the Grand Master's palace in Valletta; a tall walnut marqucterie bureau cabinet, very richly inlaid, eighteenth century, of which there is also a duplicate in the palace in Valletta; two Spanish cabinets, very richly carved with figures in relief, early seventeenth century; and a pair of old Chinese vases and covers 25 inches high. The collection also includes several pictures. All the above articles were orginally the property of Fr. Gaetano Bruno, Conventual Chaplain of the Tongue of Auvergne, Doctor of Laws and Secretary of the Chancellery under the Grand Masters Emmanuel de Rohan (1775-1797) and Ferdinand von Hompesch (1797-1798). He died in 1808 at the age of 67, and bequeathed an endowment of 10,000 scudi to the Public Library. He was buried in the Conventual Church, beneath one of the beautiful marble memorial slabs which are such a conspicuous feature in the Church. The second outstanding gift is a collection of the coins of the Crusaders, numb~rin~ 75~ pieces, many of them of the greatest rarity, presented by the Llbranan 111 memory of his wife, the late Mrs. Mildred King, a Dame of Grace of the Order, who died in 1935. This great collection has been

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

THE T. JOHN AMBULANCE GAZETTE. The circulation during the year has increased by several hundred copies, but unemployment, especially in the North, ha still a great retarding effect on sales. Many more congratulatory letters than usual were received during the year which seems to show that the Gazette is now firmly established in the Brigade both at Home and Overseas.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER. ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JERUS.\LEM. The following is extracted from the Forty-fourth Annual Report of the Committee : THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-fourth Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and it subscribers. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint fr. N orman Geoffrey Richards as a member of the Committee and Hon . Secretary for the remaining portion of the three-year period ending on St. John's Eve, 193G. Miss Gwendoline Langham-Hobart resigned her post as Assistan t House Surgeon and has been succeeded by Khalil M. Budeiri, M.D. (CE • .), D.O.M.S. The Sub-Warden returned to England on leave in October and is taking a course at Moorfields before returning to duty in February, 193G. Of the Nursing Staff the Acting Matron has retired on pension owing to ill-health. She has been on the Staff since the reopening of the Hospital in 1919, and was a devoted servant of the Order. She was made a erving Sister in 1930 in recognition of her work. Sister Rippin has also left the Hospital owing to breakdown in her health. Miss G. Peyton Jones has rejoined the staff and has been appointed Matron and Sister G. Starke has been selected to take the place of Sister Rippin. Miss Ellen Simpson has been appointed Secretary of the Hospital and took up her duties in Jerusalem on 1st July. This is a new appointment. Your Committee was of opinion that the ';Varden should be relieved as far as possible of the clerical duties that had fallen on his shoulders since the- reopening of the Hospital after the War, thus leaving him more time to devote to his professional duties in the Hospital and the inspection of the Government Ophthalmic Clinics. The number of In-Patients treated shows a slight reduction, but the work in the Out-Patient Department continues heavy. In August, indeed, both New Out-Patients (3,326) and total Consultations (15,751) constituted a new monthly record. In-Patients tend to be increasingly intra-ocular cases which accounts for the decrease in numbers, as their stay in Hospital is necessarily longer. The Hospitaller, who visited the Hospital in the spring, accompanied the Warden on his tours of inspection of the Government Ophthalmic Clinics and presented their Certificates to those of the Palestinian Nurses who had earned them by four months' primary training in the Hospital and a return in the fonowing year for a refresher course of one month. Your Committee regrets to have to report that very little headway

Cont.

has been made with the plan for building a block for the treatment of paying patients. The architect, Mr. Percy Winter, advised against prolonging the front of the Hospital by adding to it an extension, as originally planned, on the south side, and partly on Gesthetic grounds suggested that the new building should be on the same side of the road as the Annexe, where in his opinion a new Out-Patient Department should also be erected which would have the practical advantage of obviating the necessity of the out-patients hanging about on the main road, as they do now, to their own danger and to interference with the ever-increasing traffic. Unfortunately, this would necessitate the acquisition of the site at a heavy cost and an alternative plan therefore of dealing with the problem is under consideration. In 1931, amongst the cases in the Out-Patient Department were 77 R.A.F. and Army personnel 187 Government officials and employees, 107 European monks and nun~ and 17L1 British and ~merica~ natior:als. All t~ese are, properly, patients who should be seen m a paymg pabent extenSIOn for which the Warden has been pressing for many years. Your .Committee has decided to accept an estimate for heating the Out-PatI~nt Department by electricity supplied by the Palestine Electric Corporation, Ltd. The installation will cost £34, and it is estimated that. the annual cost of current-:-at present rates-will be abont £40. l\f1s~ F~ances Newton, who lIves on Mt. Carmel, overlooking Haifa, an~ ~~o IS a great supporter of the Hospital and interested in all the actIVIties o.f the Order m the Holy Land has made a munificent offer to th~ Order of h~r prope~ty a~ Daliet-el-Carmel, a Druse villa~e about 10 mIles f~om HaIfa. ThIS delIghtful property comprises the house on the. outsklrts of the village and between 35 and 40 acres of land w~lch b~longed formerly to Laurence Oliphant and where his first wife, Alice, dIed. From the house there is an unrestricted view down the wooded valley to the Castle of Athlit and the Mediterranean Sea 6 miles away. Miss Newton stipu~ates. that she be allowed to enjoy th~ use of the property so long as she IS alive or resident in Palestine. Her offer has been .gratefully accepted provisionally by Chapter-General. Your Commlttee gladly acknowledges the support it already receives from the Oversea Commanderies. From New Zealand the Hospitaller Mr. C. .T. Tunks, M.B.E., remits £76 7s. 8d. ' .The Commandery in Southern Africa forwarded through its Hospitaller LIeut.-Colonel W. B. Skinner, D.S.O., £29 11s. The Commandery i~ ~anada, .and the :nost recent, is responsible for £201 4s. forwarded by ItS ~ospltal~er,. LIeut.-Colonel R. E. Wodehouse, O.B.E. -a very substantial begmnmg. ' 2Lady Watson, our indefatigable Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, sends £t 75-the result of much hard work. This is her fifteenth year of s renuous e~deavour and your Committee would offer her -again its ~.eed o~ praIse ~oth for this and for her devoted work in the Hospital l~en oom whIch she attends unfailingly week by week.

From Bermuda, too, comes help, through Mr. J. Fray, which is gratefully acknowledged. From Kenva, Mr. R. C. A. Cavendish, Commissioner of Police and Superintende~t S.] .A.B.O., Kenya District, sent a donation. The Great Priory of England and Wales has forwarded a cheque for £174 ls. 7d. in aid of our work in the Holy Land. This sum has been collected from twelve Provincial Priories and some fifty Preceptories, both home and overseas. Your Committee would express its gratitude for the welcome and generous support which has been forthcoming for some years past from the same source. When gladly acknowledging th e cheque it was explained that as it arrived after the close of our financial year on 30th September, the sum would appear in the accounts printed in next year's Report. The Income and Expenditure Account shows on both sides an increase compared with the previous financial year, but the balance, being exce s of Expenditure over I ncome, which means the nett cost of the Hospital to the Order, is some £30 less. The Ladies Linen Guild has during the year under review been active in its support of your Committee by supplying many neces ary articles for the comfort and well-being of both patients and staff. Particularly mention may be made of six more metal bed ide lockers-three given by Lady Mulleneux-Grayson and three by the late Mrs. Guy Repton. The Hospital has twenty-four of these handsome lockers all of which have been presented through the Linen Guild. To complete the necessary number another twenty-four are till required. The Duche s of Sutherland has presented a handsome gun metal hanging lamp with bevelled glass. Your Committee would acknowledge with thanks the following giftsBooks and jig-saw puzzles for the taH from Colonel lilburn, and the Harrogate Unemployment Council and their free freight through the kind interest of Sir Henry Mulleneux-Grayson; the following sums for special purposes :-The Lady Plender, £105, Guy Repton, M.B.E., (in memoriam), £75, K. P. Birley, £50 and A. L. Allen, £10 : also £20 4s. 2d. realized at a Drumhead Service at Blackpool of No. IVDi trict S.].A.B. and remitted by Mrs. Tweedale, C.B.E., A.R.R.C., 170 eye badges, always acceptable, from the York City Cadets, through Miss E. Coates , £2 from the Old Comrades Association of the Birmingham Nursing Corps s.] .A.B ., from the same Nursing Corps £1, which Sir Ian Fraser sent them for thei r help in the local meeting and reunion of the blinded ex- ervice men of St . Dunstan's and £6 17s. 6d. part of the collection at the Annual Parade Service of the Preston Corps S.].A.B . at Leyland, through W. G. Smith, O.B .E., Commissioner No. IV Di trict. In conclusion, your Committee is happy to extend, on behalf of the Order, its thanks to the Warden and his colleagues of the Surgical Staff, to Lady vVatson, to the Acting Matrons and all the other workers in the Hospital, for their devotion to duty and for their work in the cause of humanity whereby they help ever to maintain the high reputation of the Hospital and the prestige of the Order to which it belongs. N.B.-I n the Report fo r 1934 it was stated in error that Dr. Ogilvie was the first surgeon of the H ospital, whereas that distinction properly belongs to Dr . Waddell .

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Since the Chapter-General of the Order placed at the disposal of i.he Association a sum of money to defray the expenses of classes consisting exclusively of unemployed persons in January, 1933, there have been 121 applications for assistance. Of this number it is disappointing to find that only 73 of the classes which assembled for instruction have been examined, the remaining 48 having probably dispersed. Inquiries reveal that classes which assembled with a membership of as many a 25 or 30 students gradually dwindled to negligible proportions until i.he few keener students became discouraged and dispersed. The tot.al of 73 classes examined is made up of 32 in the first nine months, 28 in 1931 and 13 during the past twelve months. At an unemployed class held at Durham City Hi Royal Highness The Prince of \Vales paid a visit on 6th December. His Royal Highness was conducted round the Social Service Centre and wa shown a room in which a First Aid cla s fo r the unemployed was in progres. Hi Royal Highne s expr ssed his pleasure that such a class was being hId. The efficiency of the Police Forces in First id and the increasing number that attend classes and refresher courses becomes more apparent . As .an ~ustration the report of the hid Constable of the Leeds City PolIce, !1unsel.f the holder of the Med~llion, shows that out of a strengt.h ?f 718, In~ludmg all ranks and probatIOners, no less than 701 are qualified In first aId, and a large percentage have voluntarily ait nded refr her courses and obtained medallions and labels. Again, at the conference of Chief Constables at Eastbourne which the Dir ctor aitended on 12th June, all present were strong in th ir praise of the work of the Asso~iation.' and practically all of them said that they now insist on the men In thelr respective Forces obtaining the First Aid C rtificate of t.h Association, and passing a periodical re-examination. An increased number of Girl Guides and Ranger have t.ak n ceri.ificat s of the Association since the decision of the Girl Guides A sociation t o abolish its syllabus and adopt instead examination on the yllabus of the St. John Ambulan.ce A~sociati~n (or of t~e Briti h Red ross ocidy) as the necessary qualIficatIon for lts first ald and home nursing badges. A greater nu~be.r o~ classes have been held at His l\Iajesty' I riso11s, and there are IndlcatIOns that instruction in First Aid is likely i.o become a regylar feature. at such Institutions. Transport undertakings, and espeClally the Mldland "Red" Bus Company, Limited, which has formed I?ivisions of the Brigade at Hinckley and Bromsgrove, are also encouragmg more noticeably the formation of classes. A class of deaf ~nd dru:nb ~tudents c:ssem~led at Middlesbrough during the year fo r Instr.uctlOn In fir~t aId: Instruction of cripples in this subject also contmues to be glven at the Lord Mayor Treloar's Hospital and College a.t Alton, and c:t the National Children's Home and Orphanage. ConSIderable atte~tlOn to t~e subject of First Aid is also being given both by the MetropolItan SpeClal Constabulary and by the City of London Police Reserve. In the Dominions and Colonies Overseas, other than those where there are registered Centres of the Association, classes were held for the first time in British Honduras and in the Sudan. Both were Police classes, .and it is. evident that the example set by the Police Forces at Home lS spreadmg overseas. First Aid has already been taken up

Cant.

enthusiastically by the Police in Kenya, Ugan~a, Bermuda, Zanzib~r, and Palestine, and, more recently by the JamaIca Constabulary, qUlte apart from those within the areas of Centres Overseas. . On behalf of the Association, Dr. P. J. Kelly, formerly ChaIrman of the British Guiana Centre, recently discussed with the heads of the Medical and Police Departments in the Windward Island the desirability of forming classes in First Aid and kindred s~bjects; it was a~reed that steps should be taken to this end. Dr. K.elly IS shortly proceedmg ~o ~he Gold Coast and will endeavour to establish the work of the AssoClatIon on the Railways, in the mines and among the Police. In Iraq classes continue to be held, and Dr. G. C. Sinderson, on whom has fallen a large share of the burden of instructing and examining these classes, is now introducing them into the School for Health Officials at Baghdad, while the Kenya Consolidated Gold Fields are arranging for the instruction of their employees at a large gold mine 80 miles from the nearest qualified British medical man. It is worthy of mention that the first examination in Sanitation to be held in Kenya took place in July, and it is hoped that this valuable, but neglected course, wiD be taken up by other Branches overseas. COLONEL SLEEMAN'S TOUR OVERSEAS. Centres of i.he Association in Australia, ew Zealand, and Southern Africa have been informed that Colonel James L. Sleeman, C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., a Knight of Justice of the Order and Chief Commissioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, who has been nominated by H.R.H. The Grand Prior to conduct a Visitation of the Commandery in Southern Africa, and of i.he Commandery in New Zealand, will take the opportunity to get in touch with representatives of the Association . Colonel Sleeman sails for South Africa on 4th October, 1935. CE TRES OVERSEAS. In Canada and in SO'ltthe1'1~ Africa the Association continues to thrive ~nder the guidance and control of the respective Commanderies. Indeed m Canada, the number of certificates issued during the first seven months of the year was almost as great as during the previous twelve months . The Commandery in Canada has brought the activities of the Association more prominently before the public and to notice of industrial concerns, and is using its best endeavours to further the interests of the Brigade. In So.ut~ern Africa no effort is spared to extend the activities of the ASS?ClatlOn among all sections of the community and to inculcate in the Afnkaans element a correct understanding of its aims and objects. Headqu~r.ters had th~ benefit of a number of discussions with Mr. Alpheus Wl]h~ms, the DIrector of Ambulance of the Commandery, during his stay In England. In New Zfaland the Centres are still in direct touch with headqnarters at St. John s Gate as the Commandery is not yet in a position to take them over. All are as activ~ as ever, but a special word of praise is due to th~ Au~kland Centre, whIch has made great strides in all directions, espeCIally 111 c~nnection with its transport service. The Centres 111 Australia arc all commendably active, and it is especially

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

gratifying that the most recently formed of them, outhern Tasmania, is making rapid progress and loses no opportunity to retain the support and interest of the public which it ha already earned. H eadquarters at St. John's Gate had the pleasure of a visit from its Honorary Treasurer, Dr. T. H. Goddard, in June; and also from Sir George 1\lurray, K.C.M.G., the President of the Adelaide Centre, which also shows very satisfactory progress. In other parts of the Commonwealth the Association has every reason to be atisfied with the aelivities of tlw several long-established and active Centres. In British Guiana the Centre remains active, and it is gratifying to find that a large percentage of certificate holders maintain their cfficiency by constant refresher courses. Headquarters at t. John's Gat wcre fortunate in having a visit from a member of the Committee of the Centre, the Hon. Dr. J. J. Henderson, Surgeon-Gencral in British Guiana. The Gibraltar Centre has also made progre since its rc. u citation ]a ·t year. 1\Iention has also been made of the occupation of its new hcadquartcrs by the Hong Kong Centre, a fact which has greatly facilitatcd the work of this very active branch. The officials at t. J ohn's Gatc were very pleased to welcome at headquarters Dr. A. R. "\Vellington, C.M.G., the President of the Centre. In India the year has been memorable for a working agr mcnt which has been reached between the A ociation and the Indian Rcd ross Society. Briefly the Association and the Brigade are entrusted with th e responsibility which they have always undertaken, namely, in truelion in first aid, home nursing and kindred subjects; and the provi ion of trained personnel for public duty in peace time and 011 thc occa ion of national emergency or war. The R ed Cross retains full rcspon ibility for its child welfare programme, popular health propaganda, and junior Red Cross work in schools. Both organizations remain aulonomou , as hitherto, and are financed from the same fund. Great credit for thi. satisfactory settlement of a long outstanding and contenlious problcm i ~ due almost entirely to the Chairman of the Indian Branch of th e Association, Sir David Petrie, C.I.E., C.V.O., C.B.E., who applied himself whole-heartedly to a thorough inve tigation of the problems which had remained unsettled for so long. The Indian Branch of the Association is also to be congratulated on having been s lecled as one of the four organizations to share in the distribution of the large sum of money collected by the Committee, over which Her Excellency The Countess of Willingdon presided, in commemoration of Their Iajesties Silver Jubilee. Relief work undertaken in connection with the devastating earthquake in Quetta is dealt with in the Report of the Chief Commisioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. Once again headquarters at St. John's Gate was fortunate in having opportunities of discussing with Miss Hill, the General Secretary of the Indian Branch, a number of points connected with the work of the Association in India. In Malta, notwithstanding some inconvenience caused by a temporary dispossession of headquarters, there has been an appreciable increase in the number of awards issued, among which it is gratifying to notice a large percentage of Sanitation certificates. The Newfoundland Centre is active, and in August its President ,

the Hon. Sir William Horwood, found time to visit St. John's Gate and discuss various subjects. CE TRE HEADQUARTERS. The headquarters building in Hong. Kong was completed during the year and is now in occupation: OffiCIals of the. Hong Kong Branch of the Association and of the Bngade have ~een mcorporate~ by Act of the Legislative Assembly in Hong I~ong m accordance WIth a draft Form of Incorporation prepared specIally for the Order. The Act also protects the Badges of the Association ~nd the uniform. and badges of the Brigade. The Form of IncorporatIOn may be SUItable for other Overseas Centres which may similarly acquire property. TERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. The Association was represented at the Inte~ational Co~gress of Life-Saving held in Brussels in August by Captam A. C. WhIte-Knox, M.C., M.B., who read a paper on the" Uniformi.ty of Fir~t Aid Teaching ". His paper was well received and aroused consIderable mterest . II

NEW PUBLICATIONS. The revi ion of the Hygiene T extbook was completed by Dr. Neville 1\1. Goodman during the year, and is now on sale. Dr. Goodman devoted much time and trouble to the revision of the book, which has been very well reviewed. POLICE KIOSKS. During the year fir t aid outfits have been placed in Police Kiosks at Blackheath R oad (7), Woolwich (9), Eltham (10), Bexley Heath (10), Tottenham (7), and Enfield (19). Including outfits previously supplied, there are now in different parts of London over 300, which have proved of much value. During the year the Metropolitan Police Authorities con ulted the Association as to the most suitable form of outfit for installation in police vans, barges, motor cycles, prison vans and the like, and three special types of outfit suitable for these various purposes have been prepared by the Association. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. Of the 11 Medical Comforts Depots in London one closed down during the year through insufficient demand for sick room requisites; and a new Depot was established at the headquarters of the No. 1 (Prince of Wales's) District of the Brigade.

The Home Secretary said that it gave him great plea ure to be present, and to have an opportunity of witnessing an exceedingl) interesting competition. Those who were brought, as he wa, into contact with the Police Forces of the country, recognized that in truction in first aid was one of the most important sides of the training of th Police, as it was one of the most important of the services which the Police were able to render to the country. He congratulated tIl winner of the competition, and added that he would say to those who did not take first place that the contest in whjch they had taken part should be an encouragement to them to try to reverse the position on a future occasion, not so much because winning the competition meant everything, but because taking part in it led to increased efficiency.

The shield is surrounded by a border of St. John's wort, and is mounted on ~n oak plinth on which are bosses on Ialtese crosses, to be engraved WIth the names of the winning railways. The whole is surmounted by a modelled figure of Mercury, symbolical of modern railway speed. . The Shield had originally twelve l\Ialtese crosses attached to the plinth, on which were engraved the names of the Railways winning the Shield and the year of the Competition at which they were successful. These lasted from 1897 to 1908 inclusive. When these were all engraved, the number was increased from time to time until in 1934 twenty-two additional crosses had been fixed. In 1935, as all the crosses had been engraved, it was found necessary to remove them, and they are now preserved in the Museum of the Order. 76 smaller crosses have been substituted. The names of the Railways winning the Competition from 1897 to 1935 were engraved on the necessary crosses, leaving sufficient to last for another 42 years. A silver plate recording the fact that owing to the Great War no Competition was held during the years 1915 to 1919 inclusive, was also attached to the plaque. MERITORIOUS FIRST AID CERTIFICATE.

New Divisions.

The Stores Department has had a most sati factory year, and th re is indication that entres of the Association and Divisions of the Brigade, both at Home and Overseas, appreciate the services of this Department and the quality of its goods. Some of the ambulances are now past their best and the cost of r pai rs has therefore been noticeable. A new ambulance is on order and delivery is expected at an early date. The number of per ons carried to and fro m the St. John Clinic was 696, representing 116 journey.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE AT HOME. Major-General Sir John Duncan, the Chief Commissioner, reports as follows : I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1935. I am glad to report a substantial increase in the strength of the Brigade although not so great as in 1934. It would be unreasonable to expect the great increase of 1934 (4,927)' which was a record one, to occur each year. There is also a most satisfactory increase of 113 new Divisions. This increase in members and in new Divisions is highly satisfactory, and is an eloquent testimony not only to the strength of the movement, but also to the keenness of all ranks of the Brigade, for unless it had been in a thoroughly efficient condition, and was performing really

CONCLUSIO .

The success of the work of the Association in all parts of the British Empire, at home and overseas, is mainly due to the loyal co-operation of the large number of members of the medical profession who instruct and examine its classes, and the honorary officials of its Centres and Branches. The Director and Committee wish once again to record their sincere appreciation of the services rendered by those who have served the cause of First Aid so well and faithfully during the year under review.

WORK OF THE BRIGADE.

Commissioners throughout the country report that the work of the Brigade continues to increase, and I am glad to be able to report that these increasing demands have been fulfilled by the self-sacrificing work of the 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, 599,878 reported cases of accident and sudden illness were treated by our members, which, compared with the cases treated in 1934, shows an increase of 75,641. 24,873 road accidents were attended by the Brigade personnel, an increase of 5,93·1 cases. . There are 211 Roadside Huts and 953 First Aid Posts. These figures IUl:strate the great service ~endered to the motoring public by the BrIgade.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

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. Attendances at Civil Hospital, Clinics, and Welfare Centres by the members of Nursing Divisions were 39,440, which, compared with 1934, shows an increase of 1,778. Particulars of the services undertak n by these Divisions will be found in the Report of the Lady uperintendentin-Chief, to whom I am greatly indebted for the most valuable work she has loyally carried out in the welfare of the Nursing Divi 'ions. The principal public duties undertaken during the year wer,,:In connection with the Jubilee Celebrations. In London on the 6th May the necessary arran~ement were carried out by the Commissioner of o. 1 (Prince of \Vales'. ) Di trict. . eventyone Stations were established along the route, the Brigade personn 1 employed numbering 3,000 men and 900 women. 7,500 cases, which were mainly faints, collapse, etc., were attended. The thanks of His late Majesty King George V were conv yed in a. letter from the ecretary of State for Home Affairs, as follow : "I am commanded by The King to express to all the member., of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who were on du ty in London on the 6th May, His Majesty's entire satisfaction with the manner in which their work was carried out. His l\Iajesty and Her ~Iaj e t\ The Queen fully realize the difficulties of dealing with casualties in the midst of such vast crowds as were assembled to greet Their Majesties last Monday, and rejoice to think that such excellent provision was made for those to whom the strain of that memorable day proved to much." " For myself, I heartily congratulate all those associated with you in the success you achieved in difficult conditions." H.R.H. The Duchess of York as Commandant-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps and Divisions, wrote as follows :« I desire to express my appreciation of the services rendered by t he 1,000 Jursing Sisters who were on duty in London last Monday ." " During the course of my drive to and from St. Paul's Cathedral I had many opportunities of observing the manner in which they performed their arduous duties, and I should like this expression of my admiration to be conveyed to all Nursing fembers who were on duty on that memorable occasion." The Royal Air Force Review at Mildenhall and Duxford on the 6th July. The duties on this occasion were carried out by the Commissioner of No. 10 District and included First Aid Road Posts on t he main roads leading to these aerodromes. The number of cases dealt with was happily small. The Royal Naval Review at Portsmouth on the 14th-16th July. This duty was carried out by the County Commissioner for Hampshire, the Brigade personnel being found from that County, augmented by No. 8 (Duke of Connaught's) District. 1,254 cases were dealt with.

MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT. The Brigade is fulfilling a National need in the provision and maintenance of motor ambulances. The responsibility 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, reflects the greatest credit upon these Officers, and the members who act as drivers and attendants. It is 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. 275 ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions. These ambulances carried 122,795 patients, which, compared with 1934, shows an increase of 10,453. The reported mileage is 1,372,246. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. One of the outstanding features of the work of the Brigade during the past year has been the extension of the training in Air Raids Precautions duties to members in the provinces. Although training in these duties had previously been carried out in No.1 District, it was not possible to extend the training outside this area, owing to the absence of any up-todate textbook on the subject. In June, the Home Office published A.R.P. Handbook No.2, which contained instructions for duties in connection with First Aid and Decontamination Stations, which are the duties the Brigade will carry out in case of a gas attack on this country. Within a fortnight of the publication of the Handbook, I assembled in London a course of instruction for members suitable to act as Instructors. Since that date three further courses have been held ~n Lor:don, and at this date over 1,100 Instructors have been through an mtenslve course of training and have made good progress in training the rank and file. I wish to thank the large number of Officers who went through these courses of training in London, in many cases at their own expense. As a proof of the interest taken in this work I may mention that I had to assemble an extra course for Officers studying this subject, as th~re were such a large number of applications to attend. ThIS scheme will necessitate a further substantial increase in the trained personnel, to enable the Brigade to fulfil these further obligations, and I ?~v.e every confidence that special efforts will be made to raise new DIVlsIOns. where they do not at present exist, and to increase the strength of eXIsting Divisions. INSPECTIONS. The following inspections were carried out during the year : No. 1 (Prince of Wales's) District in Hyde Park by Major-General The Earl ?f Athlone, K.G.,G.C.B., G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O., D.S.O., A.D.C.

RESERVES.

Royal Naval A ~txiliary Sick Berth Reserve.-This Reserve is maintained at full strength (1,275), and there are a considerable number on a waiting list for entry into the R eserve. 636 ratings completed a course of training at Royal Naval Hospitals during the year. In his Report to the DirectorGeneral of the Naval Medical Service, the Inspecting Medical Officer (Surgeon Commander . B. Macleod) states-" I consider the Reserve to be ready for any service which it may be required to undertake." He ~lso e?Cpressed his high appreciation of the voluntary work in connectIon WIth the Reserve, which is carried out by the Officers of Corps and Divisions providing Reservists. Military Hospitals Reserve.-The strength of this Reserve is well maintained, being 1,687. In 1934 the strength was 1,668. 850 Reservists undert?ok a week's course of training at Military Hospitals. The number authoflzed by ~he War Office for training during the year was 875. Rep~rts receIved from the Hospitals on the work carried out by the ReserVIsts were very satisfactory. Volumtary Aid .Detachments.-There are 314 St. John Voluntary Aid Detachment~ regIstered at the War Office, with a total personnel of 6,849 ?f wh~ch 1,615 are mobile members. In comparison with 1934, there IS an mcrease of 16 Detachments and 1 029 members including " 162 mobile members. CADETS.

augurs well for the future of this new branch of activity." It is now gratifying to record that our Cadet organization is of immense advantage to the work of the Brigade in providing as it does a good recruiting medium for the Adult Divisions, and facilities for juveniles inclined towards Ambulance and Nur ing work to obtain a prelimjnary knowledge of First Aid and Nursing and other subjects, which form the curriculum of the Cadet training. Since 1923, the Cadet strength has increased from G55 to 12,137. ACCOUNTS.

In examining the accounts of Corps and Divisions, I have been very much impressed by the success which has been attained by those wh o undertook the thankle s task of raising sufficient fund to enable the Brigade to carry out its work to the public. I am deeply grateful t o those who have assisted in this important section of our organization, and to the Honorary Treasurers and Honorary Auditors for their valuable services. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT.

I am again glad to be able to report that in most cities and towns we are receiving increasing recognition and encouragement from Municipal Authorities who usually attend our more important local functions. Throughout the country the Police Authorities look to the Brigade for first aid assistance where large crowds assemble, such demands being always met. I am pleased to report that the Pre s has given the work of the Brigade greater prominence during the past year, particularly in the provincial Press. CO CLUSION.

The past year has seen increased activity in every branch of the Brigade's work. From the reports I have received and from what I have seen myself, I can confidently state that all ranks of the Brigade maintain a high standard of efficiency and justify the confidence which the public extends to its work. I am indebted to the Commissioners of all districts and counties, and their Staffs, for their most valuable co-operation. A great deal of additional work has been thrown on them in connection with the Air Raid Precautions Scheme, which they have undertaken with zeal and energy. I also wish to thank the members of the Medical and Nursing professions, who have so generously helped us in our work. Without their help the high standard of efficiency of the Brigade could not have been attained. I must finally thank the Officers and Members of the Brigade for the zeal and interest with which they carry out their salf-sacrificing duties for the public, which has made the Brigade one of the finest examples of voluntary service.

Hardly a year pa ses in which I do not have to refer to the work of the members of the .Brigade Overseas at some major catastrophe which ha , unfo~tunately, Involved much loss of life, many scores of injurie , and considerabl~ dam,:ge to property. This year our members were called upon to glve a~sIstance on the occa, ion of the de va tating earth~uake at ,Quetta, Indla, on 31st May, 1935, when in Quetta city alone It was e~hmated that 26,000 people were killed. Within a few hours of the recelpt of new.s of the disaste~ a party of St. John per onnel from Lahore was organIZed b:y the Asslstant Commissioner, Dr. Cairns, and rushed. ~o Quetta wher~ mvaluable work was done in co-operation with the Milltary and Medlcal Authorities, especially in the evacuation of wounded from th~ a~ea. .The party remained on duty until the 11th June, and by that date It IS est~ated they had dealt with over 12,000 dre ing and over 1,400 case.s whIch had been evacuated by train. At Lahore members of the Bngade were on duty to meet the relief trains and members of the ursing Divisions did extra duty at the Ho pital, whil there were many other volunteers ready for ervice had it been po ible to make use of them. From ot~er parts of India offers of p ronnel an~ stores were made, and there IS no doubt that, as in the Bihar and Onssa earthquake of 19~4, the Brigade in India has once again re poneled nobly to the call of thIS great emergency. I am glad to mention th at the Chapter-General of the Order has recognized the excellent ervice done by the award of the Vote of Thanks on Vellum to the TO. 1 District of India from which the detachment was recruited. Another example of outstanding service performed during the y a1 wa~ the wo~k ~one by the Offi~ers and men of the o. G (East Indian Rallway) DIstnct on the occaSIOn of a serious mining disaster in the Giridah Coalfields. Public Duty performed in happier circumstances was on the occasion of. the Empire-wide celebrations of the Silver Jubilee of His Iajesty Krng George V and Queen :Mary when members of the Brigade Overseas were calledypon to perfor~ ma?y hours of public duty. This duty which took place In every place In whIch the Brigade is established was carried out, most efficiently and received ~any tributes, the mo~t prized of whIch wa~ that addressed to the Bngade by His Royal Highness The Grand Pnor of the Order. INSPECTIONS OVERSEAS BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

Colonel. Sleeman, Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas, left England In October last for a tour of South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand for the purpose of carrying out a Visitation of the Commanderies of the Order in Southern Africa and New Zealand under a Mandate from Hi~ Royal Highness The Grand Prior, and also to inspect units of the Bngade Oyersea~ .. I have referred later in this report to Colonel Sleeman's South Afncan VISIt, but full details of this and his other visits are not

I pleased to be able to report the formation of a new District of the ~gade Overseas in Burma with Headquarter.s at Rangoon . . New Divisions have also been formed at Hobart, Tasmama, where the Bngade has hitherto been unrepresented, while in Newfoundla?d attempts. to resuscitate the work of the Brigade have been successful rn the formatIOn of a new Division. . . A number of Districts of the Brigade Overseas are rnterestIng themselves in the matter of precautions .to be t':l-keI?- in the ~ase of gas attacks from the air. They have been furmshed WIth Informahon by the Department set up for the purpose. \Vith reference to the work of each Dominion : AUSTRALIA.

The work in all Districts continues to be maintained at a high level of efficiency. During the year Sir Alexander and Lady Hore-Ruthven kindly consented to be~oI?e Patr~n and Patroness of t~le Ne:w S.outh \Vales District and thelr Interest m the work of the Bngade IS hlghly valued. In the New outh Wales District an interesting feature has been the formation of a Hospitallers' Club, of which His Excellency the Governor has consented to be Patron, and the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Philip \V. treet, to be President. This is the second club .of i~s kind to be formed in Australia, a Hospitallers' Club already bemg In existence in the outh Australia District. CAr ADA.

This is the first full year in which the Brigade in Canada has been under the administration of the Commandery in Canada, and I am glad to be able to report that there has been signs of continued progress, one of which is that during the year seven new Divisions have been formed. I was sorry to lose, through resignation on account of ill-health, the services of Colonel J. Clarke as Commandery Commissioner, but I am glad to welcome the co-operation of Colonel A. E. Snell, who ~uc.ceeds Colonel Clarke as Director of Ambulance and Commandery CommlsslOner. From reports received from Officers in charge of Districts throughout Canada, it would seem that while the membership of the Brigade remains keen and efficient, as yet there are few opportunities for carrying out Public Duty. I hope that as the Brigade becomes more widely known throughout the Dominion and the value of its services more fully appreciated by the public, this drawback will disappear. CEYLO .

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

JOINT COUNCIL

Many ca es of efficient rendering of First Aid by members of the Corps have been reported, and the Meritorious Certificate of the St. John Ambulance Association has been awarded to P.c. M. Jawan.

In Uganda I was. sorry to lose the s.er.v~ces of Capta~n M.. St. C. Thorn as Divisional Supenntendent of the DIVISIOn, due to hIS retIrement from the Force on the grounds of ill-health. He has been succeeded by Captain E. G. Fish, who, I know, will ably carryon the work initiated by Captain Thorn. In Zanzibar the Division was inspected by His Excellency Sir Richard Rankine, the British Resident.

HONG KOl G. The outstanding event of the year in Hong Kong wa the opening of the new Headquarters Building of the Association and Brigade. This was formally opened on 9th May by His Excellency Sir William Peel and will, no doubt, prove to be of great service to the work in the Colony. During the Silver Jubilee celebrations the members of the Brigade were on duty from 10.30 a.m. until the early hours of the followin g morning during the whole of the week which, I think, is a splendid tribute to the spirit of serv ~ce which has been so often manifest in th is District. INDIA. I have referred earlier in this report to the magnificent work p rformed by the members of the Brigade Overseas on the occasion of the Quetta earthquake. _ During the year, in addition to the new Di trict formed in Burma, a new Railway Di trict was formed from among the Divisions of the o. 2 District. In this District the Divisions of the Calcutta Police Corps were formed into a sub-District. I am glad to be able to report that the No. 2 District, India, was inspected during the year by His Excellency the Viceroy, and the TO .:3 District by His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. On each of th se occasions, which typify the interest taken in the work of the Brigade, there was an excellent attendance on parade. Field-Marshal Sir Philip Chetwode (Commander-in-Chief) has most kindly presented a Shield for competitions among the Cadet Divisions of the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India. MALTA. The Divisions in Malta have maintained their strength and activity throughout the year. Many members of the Brigade have volunteered their services to the Government for hospital and ambulance work in case of emergency. NEW ZEALAND. There are now 130 Divisions of the Brigade in New Zealand, and 74 Cadet Divisions, with a membership of over 2,600 adults and 1,700 Cadets. This continued growth is a source of much satisfaction, and is a tribute to the energy and efficiency of the membership. Her Excellency Viscountess Galway has kindly consented to be Patroness of the Nursing Divisions within New Zealand. KENYA, UGANDA, AND ZANZIBAR. The strength of the Police Divisions in Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar have all i.ncreased during t.he ye~r, and from each place reports have been receIved of cases of FIrst AId where members of the Brigade have ~e.en instrumental in saving life or in affording relief in cases of serious mJury.

SOUTH AFRICA. The Brigade within the Commandery in Southern Africa has increased its strength by the formation of 13 new Divisions during the year. An advance report from Colonel Sleeman has revealed that in all Districts the work of the Brigade is in a high state of efficiency, and that the membership is exceptionally keen and enthusiastic. CONCLUSION. In concluding this report my thanks as acting for the Chief Commissioner are due to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendent in-Chief, for her continued interest and activity in the work of the Brigade Overseas. I would also like to express to all Officers and Members of the Brigade Overseas my deep appreciation of their services which, often in trying and difficult circumstances, have been given unstintingly in the work of the Brigade in all parts of the Empire.

SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE ORDER. THE PRIORY FOR WALES.

ASSOCIATION DEPARTMENT. The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal Secretary and Commissioner for Wales . A progressive step was taken towards the end of ~h~ year with.a.Y.icw to enabling Commissioners and Assistant CommisslOners to lmt.l ~te and supervise class work in their respective centres. In c?ntrast WIt!1 the position in England, a COITlIl!issioner in ~al~s h~s executIve responsIbility for all Association and Bngade work Wlthm hIS Centre, though too little heed has been paid to the former. Under the new system, the Commissioner will receive a complete list of the year's classes ea~h autumn, and by receipt of cards of notification from Priory Ho~se .will be kept aware of new classes forming from time to time and exammahons arranged. The comparative table below shows that the total of 15,791 awards gained in 1935, is 392 less than the 1934 figure, though only 54 fewer persons attended courses of instruction. T~e only appar.ent reas~n for the decreasing totals of the past two years IS the subtractIon of a blg proportion of the junior figures from the Association results since a large number of Cadets now take the Brigade efficiency test in place of the Preliminary Certificate. On the other hand, the number of examinations or re-examinations arranged rose from 903 in 1934 to 941. As students pay an inclusive fee covering instruction and examination, it is somewhat surprising to find that as many as 9·85 per cent of the total who attended

Cont.

courses did not sit for examination, the percentage for 1934 being 8·13. The number of failures is satisfactorily low, viz. 406 out of 16,197, or 2 ·44 per cent as against 2·35 per cent in 1934, which appears to indicate that the standard of instruction is being maintained at a sufficiently high level.

There is an increase in the Great Western Railway classes, which were attended by 3,351 students, 2,938 of whom passed examinations89 more than in 1934. Of the 643 persons who attended London Midland and Scottish Railway classes in Wales, 586 gained awards, which is 30 less than last year. Grants were made to a number of Unemployed classes; and in this connection gratitude is due to many members of the Medical Profession who are giving their time and services in lecturing and examining gratuitously. BRIGADE STRENGTH. Once again the Priory can record an increase in the strength of the St. J?hn.~bulance Brigade in Wales; and the most satisfactory feature of thl~ nse ~ numbers is the improvement on the nursing side, though there IS admIttedly still room for development here. The total exceeds the ~934 figu.re by 227, comprising 31 men, 69 women, 32 boys, and 95 g:rls. It IS faIr to say that the Brigade register shown at the end ?f thIS report represents an active strength.

RESERVES. Of the three Reserves open to Bdgade personnel, progress can be reported only in connection with the V.A.D. Scheme. Three new Detachments have been registered, bringing the V. .D. strength up to 167. The Military Hospitals Reservists in Wales number 42G. A good number of enrohnents have been effected during the year, but the t otal is only three up on 1935, as there have been many discharge consequent upon the disbandment of the Cwm Colliery Division, and transfers from other Units. Welsh members of the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve number no more than 11 at present, but names are being added from time to time to the waiting list for enrohnent. BRIGADE ACTIVITIES. The recorded facts as regards the extent of services rendered cannot be taken as an adequate representation since exactly one-third of the Senior Units failed to render any account in this re pect' Summarized, the available returns reveal that 53,648 cases were treated . ssistance was rendered at 1,656 road accidents; and nursing members made 707 attendances at Hospitals, Clinics, and Medical Comforts Depots. Eleven Roadside Huts and 53 First Aid Posts are being maintained. Increased calls have been made upon the voluntary services of t. J ohn personnel by the provision of First Aid Huts by respective local Councils at popular seaside resorts. AMBULANCE HALLS. A home of its own is the ideal to which the Brigade in every locality strives to attain . Ambulance Work particularly can be severely handicapped by a lack of suitable accommodation-undisturbed freedom for lectures and study and adequate space for practice and drills-a pronounced need to-day in the majority of Brigade Units in Wales. Most of the Colliery Divisions benefit by facilities provided by the Owners in the way of disused buildings, often with heating and lighting free of cost; and a small proportion have acquired their own headquarters. The greater number, however, have to rely upon the hire of accommodation in the local school, workmen's institute, welfare hall, or other available room, which is not only a heavy tax upon financial resources, but deprives a Unit of all opportunities for the social and recreational uses that bind a membership together in camaraderie and esprit de corps. Nevertheless, the policy of the Priory has been to deter rather than encourage ambitious building schemes where it seemed that enterprise was outstepping reason,

Cant.

as there is always the danger of large halls erected in times of prosperity becoming a burden when industrial conditions change. SPECIAL AREAS GRANT. No-one who had come into personal contact with St. John Units in all the districts of South Wales could fail to be conscious of the very real value of the Brigade in the "Special Areas", where it has the secondary role of offering an occupation of mind and body which stimulates the powers of resi tance to depressing conditions. The poverty of its membership and the adverse conditions which militate against voluntary financial support must, however, curtail normal progress and effectiveness; and an application was submitted to the Commissioner for England and Wales for the consideration of the claims of the St. John Ambulance Brigade within the Priory for Wales as falling within the scope of Clause 1 (1) of the Special Areas Act, 1934, where one of the functions of the Commissioners is defined as " Assistance of measures designed to facilitate ... social improvement of the areas specified n. A memorandum of appeal eventually received favourable consideration; and on 6th November the welcome notification was received t~at the Commissioner was prepared to make a grant of £5,000 to the Pnory for Wales for allocation in certain specified proportions ~or expenditure on Uniform and Equipment and First Aid Requisites, m respect of wholl~ unemployed members of Divisions in the Special Ar~a~. An exceptIOnal amount of correspondence was involved in arnvrng at the exact needs and eligibility of the Units concerned; but by December the actual task of ordering uniform had begun; and it bec~me apparent all too soon that even so generous a grant would not eqmp the whole unemployed membership. As the period of this report cl~ses a total amount .of £921 4s ..8d. has been disbursed, and it is already ~vldent that the free Issue of Umform and Equipment will give a marked Impetus to Brigade Work in some of the most depressed areas. SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATION . . The larg~st parade of Brigade Units ever staged in \i\Tales was held m the Sp~ClOuS grounds of Cardiff Castle to mark the celebration of the 25th Ann:versary of the accession of King George the Fifth on the part of the Pr.lOry for 'YI~les. The occasion was honoured by the presence of ~he ChIef Com.mlsslOner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home, ~a]or~Gene~~l SIr J ohn Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., who on hIS thIrd VISIt to the Priory inspected 3,537 Ambulance men, women, ~nd cadets. Representative of the Cardiff, Newport, Merthyr, Rhondda, m~~rdare Centres~ and Cae~philly Sub-District, the parade was comC ded by Captam T. E. Richards, J.P., Commissioner of the Rhondda d entre. Th~ success of this me~orable event was in no small measure Bue to the rnterest and g~neroslty of the Marquis and Marchioness of b u:e'l who not o.nly placed Ideal accommodation at the Priory's disposal, f u a S? ~ntertamed a large party to tea in the Castle and made a grant or adsimilar purpose of one shilling per head for the whole number on para e.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

I SPECTIO s. The Inspection by the Chief Commissioner of a combined parade of Units from six Centres lessened the Inspection Programme for 1935: and now that Centre of Sub-District In pections are taking the place of the smaller parades formerly arranged, I am able to inspect annually most of the areas, with the valued assistance of the ssistant Commissioner for 'Vales, Mr. A. G. E. J. Fudge, who undertook nine in 1 !):~5. The presence of the Surgeon-in-Chief (Colonel J. E. H. Davies, D.S .O., M.R.C.S.), and the Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief (Dr. D. Rocyn Jones, C.B .E.), added greatly to the technical value of a number of the Inspections, while the Nursing side was stimulated by the attendance of the As istant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for Wales (Lady (Herbert) Lewis, O.B.E.) at half a dozen. SERVICE MEDALS A D BARS. The awards made during 1935 bring the total number of ervice :\Ied,tl granted to members of the Brigade in 'Vales on completion of 1 ~ yea rs' service to 538, while 233 are in posse ion of Bars for additional perioDs of five years' efficiency, 63 have second Bars for twenty-five years, 7 have third Bars signifying thirty years' service; and one Officer possesses a fourth Bar, having completed 35 years. CO 1PETITIO. s. The number of Ambulance Competitions organized by the Priory increases year by year. The introduction of contests for mployees of road passenger transport undertakings can be recorded as the most important addition to the 1935 programme. Following a year's class work, regional contests were held at Cardiff for Undertakings in Cardiff and District, and at Aberdare for that area, culminating in the first National Competition which took place at the City Hall, Cardiff, on the 23rd October The Motor Omnibus Proprietors' A sociation generously provided a cup, which was won by the Aberdare D.D.C. Transport Department. In the Welsh Brigade Final Competitions held in Cardiff on the 30th March, the " Llandinam " Shield and " Arthur Griffiths Memorial" Cup Competitions, were won by the Clydach and District Ambulance and Llanelly Nursing Divisional teams respectively. The "Harry Webb" Cup, open to teams of Railwaymen in 'Vales and Monmouthshire, was won by the Great Western Railway Fishguard Harbour team at Cardiff on the 5th November. As the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, held at Caernarvon in 1935, when the competitions were organized as usual by the Priory, the " Lady Lewis" Cup, open to teams of men, was won by the Liverpool City Police team, and the" Lady Bute " Cup for Nursing teams by the Pwllheli B.R.C.S. Three Competitions for teams of men, women, and boy cadets in 'Vales and Monmouthshire were held at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society's annual show at Haverfordwest, under the direction of the Principal Secretary, who as in former years was appointed Honorary Director of Ambulance. The Brecknockshirc Police, Llanelly St. John Nursing, and Pontyberem St. John Boy Cadet Teams were successful.

AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. The majority of Brigade. Off:cers .in ~ales have shown a commendable readiness to meet their oblIgatIOns m thIS respect; .and only the a~sence of orthodox procedure an~ an .official syllabus of illstructIon un~ll la~e in the year prevented rapId stndes .. As It. was, the text book, A'tr Ra'td Precautions Handbook No.2, published ill the summer, was eagerly studied and about forty Brigade Officers atten?ed a Course of Lectu.res given by Lieutenant T. H. !revor at the CardIff Barracks, by th~ kmd permission of the Commandmg Officer, the ~epot, th~ Welch RegIment. These Officers each purchased a General erVlCe Resprrator; and though the Course could not be recognized as official, nor could the students be qualified as efficient or ?tl:erwise, tl~e trainin.g. received has been passed on to Brigade membershlp m the vanous localitIes. ~Velsh men:b~rs have taken advantage of the kind invitation of the ChIef CommIssIOner . to attend the four Instructor's Courses held in London; and an offiCIal, Course is proceeding in Cardiff. There are now a number of Instructors, Grade 1 and Grade 2 in 'Vales, while the general development of the scheme within the Brigade in Wales has occupied the attention of. a representative Sub-Committee for the past twelve months. The SIX Mines Rescue Associations in the South Wales Coalfield have undertaken to allow the A.R.P. Classes in the respective localities to attend the Rescue Station for the purpose of practical demonstrations under actual conditions. One happy issue likely to arise on these otherwise ominous arrangements is the fact that the contact thus established with .exper~s in the mines rescue work will tend to improve the standard of FIrst Aid and rescue work generally in the mines. MEDICAL CO:YIFORTS DEPOTS. There are 41 Depots established under the Priory Scheme and rendering periodic returns to Priory House, including seven new ones opened during the year. The total number of articles issued in 1935, either at nominal charges or free of cost was 4,435. MOTOR ~1BULA CE TRA SPORT SERVICE. No new Stations were opened during 1935, but an increase in the services rendered can again be recorded. The fleet of nineteen cars carried out 13,838 removals, involving a total mileage of 248,978, an increase of 2,320 and 26,612 respectively on the figures for 1934. During the seventeen years of its existence the Service has undertaken 73,707 journeys, covering 1,434,182 miles; and this period has witnesse~ a continuous advance in the comfort and efficiency of ambulance cars, with which it can fairly be said that the Priory has kept pace. T~e extension of the Service has been very largely dependent on the contmued assistance received from the Miners' Welfare Fund towards capital expenditure, a grant of £1,000 having been allocated in 1935 ; but a considerable improvement in the financial position has been effected in the last five years in which a Reserve for the Replacement of Cars has risen from £1,200 to £7,000. STORES DEPARTMENT. A total number of 4,147 text books and publications (apart from over 1,000 A.R.P. manuals) were sold during 1935; and senior uniform

COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

to a total value of £1,044 19s. 3d. was purchased through Priory House. The sale of First Aid requisites was stimulated by advantage taken of a free site given by the promo tors of the South Wales Institute of Engineers Annual Exhibition in Cardiff during November.

Secretaries of Transport Advisory Committees, H eadquarter Staff Corps, and Divisional Officers of the Brigade have all cont~ibuted the necessary measure of leadership in their respective spheres to discharge the responSIbility of the Priory in the Principality of Wales.

OBITUARY. The Priory suffered a grievous loss on the 8th November by the death of Colonel H. E. M. Lindsay, C.B.E., D.L., J.P., a Knight of Justice of the Order and Treasurer for Wales. Though in his seventy-ninth year, he had preserved a quite youthful enthusiasm for the Order's work , and his death leaves a great gap in the Priory's membership. APPOINTMENTS. The Nursing side of the Brigade in Wales has received a welcome stimulus by the gracious acceptance by H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent of the office of Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for Wales, formerly held by the Dowager Countess of Plymouth. Another important appointment approved by the Sub-Prior was that of Mr. D. M. Evans-Bevan, J.P. (Commissioner for the Glamorgan County Centre) as Treasurer for Wales, in succession to the late Colonel H. E. l\I Lindsay, C.B., T.D., D.L. ANNUAL CEREMONIES. The Sub-Prior (the Earl of Plymouth, P.c.) pre ided over the annual Meetings of Chapter and General Assembly held at the City Hall, Cardiff, on Tuesday, 25th June. In view of the extra demands of Jubilee year, it was decided to limit the Priory's programme to the meeting of Chapter, held at 11.30 a.m., and General Assembly in the afternoon, without an Investiture. An encouraging Greeting was received from the Prior, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales; and all Members of Chapter were the guests of the Sub-Prior at luncheon. GENERAL. A comparison of numerical strength from year to year i the simplest criterion of progress; but it by no means indicates the full extent of the effort expended in countering adverse conditions. In common with South Wales the Priory has been engaged during the past year in fighting a rearguard action against increasingly severe odds. The close of the year has witnessed a welcome allocation of public funds to counteract the contraction of local resources by a free issue of uniform, equipment, and First Aid material in respect of the Unemployed Brigade membership. There may well be an infusion of fresh vitality by grants in other directions; but any degree of success achieved during the period of this Report is attributable to the unswerving devotion to duty and increasing hard work of a large body of men and women-too numerous for individual mention, but who will recognize in the record the part they have quietly yet conscientiously played. A particular tribute is due to the tireless activities of members of the Medical Profession in lecturing, examining, and judging, for ambulance efficiency is indissolubly linked with their gratuitous and expert services.

THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery : VISITATION. The outstanding event of the year was the Visitation of the Commandery in Southern Africa by His Royal Highness The Grand Prior's Representative, Colonel James L. leeman, C.B., c.~.G., C.B.~.,. M.V.O., Knight of J u tice of the Order of St. John, and ChIef CommlsslOner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. The Reports of the Director of Ambulance and Commandery Commi sioner deal with Colonel Sleeman's untiring energy and encouraging advice to those engaged in the activities of the Ambulance Department throughout his tour of the Commandery from 21st October to 6th December, 1935, when he sailed for a similar mission in New Zealand and Australia. In addition to this, the Commandery owes Colonel Sleeman a great debt of gratitude for the enthusiastic and thorough manner in which he dealt with the work of the Order generally. His zealous personal appeal has gained the practical interest of leading officials of the Governments of the Union and Rhode ia, and of other important public bodies, which should greatly assist the activities of the Order within the Commandery. Colonel Sleeman was accompanied throughout his tour by the Secretary of the Commandery, Mr. Alex. M. Anderson, as Staff Officer. This, the first Visitation of a Commandery Overseas, was, to us, an historical occasion; many incidents connected with it were unique; the Visitation generally was an outstanding success, and the work accomplished will prove immensely valuable to the future activities of the Commandery. The Commandery Chapter records its deep appreciation and thanks to the S.A. Railways and Harbours, Rhodesian Railways, and the :rarious Government Departments for their personal interest and Invaluable practical support, and to all our workers whose whole-hearted co-operation resulted in such a spontaneous welcome, and fitting reception to the Grand Prior's Representative. Colonel Sleeman expressed his great satisfaction at the high standard o~ eff:c~ency, fine discipline, and magnificent spirit shown by all during hIS VISItation. TRIENNIAL APPOINTMENTS. His ~oyal Highness the Grand Prior appointed the following as Exe~uhve Officers of the Commandery for the current triennial period:

Lleute~ant.-Sir William Henry Clark, R.C.S.!', K.C.M.G. Chap~aIn.-Rev. Dr. Ernest Hermitage Day, F.S.A. Hospltaller and Almoner.-Lieut.-Colonel William Booth Skinner, D.s.a., V.D. (Vice, Dr. D. Bennie Hewat, resigned).

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Director of Ceremonies.-Sir Charles George Smith, R.C.M.G. Commandery Commissioner.-Alpheus Fuller Williams, Esq. (Vice Lieut.-Colonel W. B. kinner, resigned). Chapter-General's thanks were accorded to Dr. D. Bennie Hewat for "his valuable work on behalf of the Ambulance Department of the Order ", and the Commandery Chapter has recorded" its great appreciation of the many years' valuable service rendered by Dr. D. Bennie Hewat to the Order of St. John in South Africa " . The activities of the Ambulance Department as reflected in the Reports of the Director of Ambulance and Commandery Commissioner show that the work of the Order in Southern Africa has made excellent progre<;s during the year, and the Commandery Chapter very grat fully records its deep appreciation of the praiseworthy efforts of all Offic rs and Members of the Association and Brigade, who have so willingly given of their best" Pro Fide" and" Pro Utilitate Hominum ". The Commandery Chapter records its sincere appreciation and thanks to the Union Government for the practical interest which it continues to afford the work of the Order throughout the DepaILments of Public Health and Defence, and particularly to ir Edward Thornton, K.B.E., Secretary for Public Health, and Colonel E. H. Culver, Director of Medical Services. The following is extracted from the Report of the Director of Ambulance :St. J ohn Ambulance Association. The detailed summary of Award issued through Centres, attached hereto, shows that Centres of the Association within the Commandery issued 5,677 Awards for the year under review-an increase of 2G5 over the previous year. There is a general increase in the Senior and Junior First Aid Awards, and also in the Senior Home Nursing, which is very gratifying. Afrikaans classes are making steady progress, and a gratifying number of these Members are joining the Brigade. Interest and enthusiasm in the Association Activities have been well maintained throughout the year, and I have to convey my very cordial thanks and appreciation to all Centres and Officials of the Association for the excellent work they have done, individually and collecbvely. The Fifth Annual Meeting of the Ambulance Committee was held in the Technical College, Johannesburg, on Friday, 22nd November, 1935, and was attended by representatives of the Association and Brigade from the various Provinces. We had with us on this occasion, Colonel James L. Sleeman, Chief Commissioner Brigade Overseas, who was conducting a Visitation of the Commandery. Colonel Sleeman gave a most inspiring address, and much invaluable advice, which should prove of the utmost benefit to our future activities, and, in addition, was able to deal with many queries more fully and satisfactorily and with much less delay than could have been done by correspondence. I wish to record my own thanks and also that of our Association and Brigade delegates to Colonel Sleeman for his most helpful advice.

The Centres of the Association at Cape Town, in the Transvaal, East London, Natal Coastal District, S.A. Railways and Harbours, Orange Free State, Griqualand West, Port Elizabeth, Rhodesia Railways and Northern Natal continue to make steady progress, and in the majority of them an increa e in the number of awards issued for passing examinations is to be noted. I take this opportunity of recording my thanks and appreciation to all Centres and Di trict throughout the Commandery for the excellent arrangements made and the warm welcome given to Colonel Sleeman, during his Visitation Tonr; also for the enthusiasm and effort put into the work of St. John during the year under review.

.T~e following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery Comrms lOner, St. John mbulance Brigade Overseas : The outstanding event in the Brigade Year was the Visitation paid to the Commandery by Colonel James L. leeman, Chief Commissioner of the St: ~ ohn Ambulance Brigade Overseas, which permitted our Chief CommI SIOner to personally conduct the Brigade Annual Inspections at all the large towns and including many of the smaller units en route. E:rery advantage was taken of Colonel leeman's tour to fit in every pOSSIble place and the records show that never before has there been such excellent numbers on Parade, which is a great tribute to the Chief Commissioner. Special ~ention ~ust be made of the splendid facilities afforded by the S~utl~ Afncan Rallway~ and Harbours and the Rhodesian Railways Dlstncts to e!lable theIr .1\Iembers to parade at the fullest possible st:e~~th . ThIS was particularly so in Rhodesia where all Railway DIVISIOns were. mustered for the Inspection at Bulawayo, which meant th.at the total Journeying covered by Members amounted to some 67 000 mIles. ' .T~e kindly advice and appreciation expressed by the Chief CommI~SI?r:er at these Inspections has given a welcome impetus to the actIVItIes of .St. John amongst our voluntary workers. The ?utlym.g J?ivi ions were inspected by the Officers in Charge of the vanous DIstncts and all showed a creditably high standard. p I have to express my yery cordial t~lanks to Lieut .-Colonel G. E . ~ac.ock for so. kmdly carrymg out the dutIes of Acting Commandery Comm;~slOner dunng my absence from the Commandery; I hope that he WI have a speedy recovery from his recent indisposition.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

There is a welcome increase in new Divisions-especially among t the Cadets, which should prove valuable recruiting ground for the Adult Divi ions. The Chief Commissioner, during his tour of Southern Rhodesia, obtained the interest of the British South Africa Police, the Members of which body, it is anticipated, will shortly enter the Brigade. The Brigade Annual Ambulance Competitions for the "Selborne" and " Hewat " Shields, were held in Johannesburg in November during Colonel Sleeman's visit there, and enabled him to attend. At the evening function he presented the Trophies to the successful competitors, and spoke in high praise of the general standard shown. The Brigade continues its voluntary service at various sports functions and on all public occasions throughout the Commandery, and many letters are received testifying to their invaluable service. In conclusion, I must express my great appreciation and sincere thanks to all Officers and :Members of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, for their able and ready service throughout the Year, and especially for the splendid effort put forth by all units during the Chief Commissioner's Tour of the Commandery. THE COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery : During the year we said farewell to our Patrons, Their Excellencies Lord and Lady Bledisloe. Before their departure an addre s in the following terms was presented to them :" Your Excellencies, The Commandery in ew Zealand of the Grand Priory in the British Healm of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of J erusalem desires to express to you its sincere appreciation of the interest and sympathy you have taken in the work of the Order in this Dominion. " His Excellency has been our New Patron, and H er Excellency the Patron of the ursing Divisions of the Brigade and of the District .J:Tursing Guild of St. John. " During your stay "\vith us the Commandery has been established, and at your invitation held its first meeting at Government House under t.he chairmanship of His Excellency. " We are greatly pleased to record that since your coming to the Dominion, His Gracious Majesty the King has conferred on His Excellency t.he honour of Knight of Grace, and on Her Excellency that of Dame of Grace. " The Commandery deeply regrets your departure from our midst, but having abundant evidence of the very sincere part you have always taken in t.he relief of the sick, the suffering, and the distressed, it is confident that you \yill continue to show the same regard for the work of the Venerable Order and especially for its work in this distant Dominion.

Their activities are typical of what is being done in all centres. They included attendance at race meetings, school and trade picnics, Jubilee and other celebrations, athletic, cycling, and motor sports, and many other events of a similar nature. At the dressing stations 2,208 cases were attended to. South Canterbury has been very active. Otago has extended its Ambulance and Nursing Divisions to Kaikorai and Milton, and sub-centres of the Association are being formed at Roxburgh and Balclutha. Southland shows an increase in membership, and extension work has been opened at the Bluff. The membership of the Brigade now stands at 4,209, twenty-five new units having been formed during the year. The total number of services performed for the year were 64,824. On one particular aturday afternoon the figures for winter sports were as follows: Grounds attended 293, members on duty 578, cadets 84, cases treated 1,237. MOTOR AMBULA CE TRANSPORT.

For the prot.ection of this work an Order-in-Council was passed which makes it necrs ary for all Motor Transport ambulances to be licensed and periodically inspected. t.

It is with great sati faction that we find the progress made by the Cadet movement. The policy of the Brigade is to secure the establishment of a cadet unit in connection with every adult division, and generally to make th organization in every way a national one. It is plea, ing to note that the coveted distinction The Grand Prior's Badge" has been awarded to six New Zealand Cadets, Wellington, securing tIle honour for girls and Canterbury for boys. Six new Ambulance cadet divi ions have been formed. The \Vellington District Nursing Guild has maintained its work among t the sick, poor, and in all other centres the work of a similar nature has been greatly appreciated.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery:In view of the early departure from Canada of IIi E. cellency the Knight-Commander, it was the unanimous wish of the Officers of the Commandery that the Annual Meeting for t~e year 1935 be h~ld in September. As, however, the Statutes proV1d~ for an. ~c~ountmg period covering the calendar year, and as prevl~us actIvltI~s have been recorded for a similar period, the report WIll neces anly only deal with operations covering the fir t se\Ten months of the present year.

The Commandery has been greatly assi ted by the Officers of the Grand Priory, and desires especially to express its than~s to tIl ecret~ry General, Sir Percival Wilkinson, K.C.M.G., C.B., for a Istance and adVIce. GENERAL. There has been steady growth during the year in the work of the Order in Canada. The t. John Ambulance Association has instructed more people in First Aid and Home Nur ing, and t~e t. John mbulance Brigade has extended its activities. The Ho p~taller an~ Almoner's report shows, in addition, an increased interest bell1g taken m the work of the Order outside of Canada. HEAD OFFICE. The Officers of the Commandery were greatly shocked by the sudden illness of Colonel J. T. Clarke, Director of Ambulance, on his return ~t the end of May from his examination trip in Western Canada. \Vhlle Colonel Clarke is making an excellent recovery from his illness, he feels that it would not be wise to undertake, in future, the strenuous work attaching to the position of Director of Ambulance, and he has accorcl~ngly tendered his resignation. The Commandery owes a great debt of gratitude to Colonel Clarke for the interest he has taken in the work of the Order during the last two years, and it is satisfactory to know that. the Commandery will still have the benefit of his judgment and expenence as a member of the Chapter. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

Summary oj Awards. During the first seven months of 1935, there has been a steady increase in the number of certificates and awards issued, there being no less than 2,878 additional awards, as compared with the corre ponding months

last year. This increase covers both those taking examinations for the first time and awards for re-examination. Classes in Junior First Aid also show a healthy increase. The most marked improvement has taken place in the Home Nursing section, where the number of Certificates issued has been more than double that of last year. During the period in question nineteen have passed the necessary examinations and have qualified for the Instructor's Certificate.

Provincial Councils. The various Provincial Councils arc functioning well, and it is largely due to their efforts that in truction has been given to so many more candidates in First Aid and Home ursing. Trophy Competiliolls. There wer 270 ntries in the Junior, Intermediate, and enior Competitions in 1035, r pr entative of all part of Canada. Competitions were arranged for all trophies, with the exception of the Railway Trophy, which was again withheld from competition, due to circumstances similar to those of la l year. Tbe }Iountgarret Trophy was awarded for the fir t time to the captain howing th high t proficiency in the use of a team, and was won by ~Ii Zina Hopwood, of the Guiders lub of Brandon, who headed an entry of 86 competitor.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

The St. John Ambulance Association has borne the expenses of reexamination of the members of the various classes. It is, of course, understood that this expenditure cannot be kept up indefinitely, but it is hoped that eventually the Provincial authorities will take over the maintenance of this important work. It is interesting to know that inquiries have been received from both Manitoba and British Columbia, with regard to the details of maintaining these First Aid Posts and that considerable favourable comment has appeared in newspapers throughout the country.

Canadian First Aid. The quarterly publication has been issued regularly during the year, and it is hoped that it may obtain an even wider circulation during the coming year.

Owing to the absence, and eventual resignation, of the Director of Ambulance, who is also Commandery Commissioner of the Bligade, no detailed report is available. The Officers of the Commandery can only say that the Provincial Commissioners are functioning sati fact?rily, and are taking an increasing interest in the development of the Bngade in their districts. It is satisfactory to note that the total strength has increased during the year, and that there has been greater activity in the matter of public duty. The Officers of the Commandery are keenly interested in the development of the Brigade, and upon the appointment of a new Director of Ambulance, will give special attention to the problem of increasing the efficiency of the present personnel, and of organizing new Divisions, where such expansion is warranted. The pre ent strength of the establishment is 1,203, including cadets.

Of tIl . ur ing taft the cting 1atron has retired on pension owing to ill-health. h ha. been on the taff since the reopening of the Ho pital in 1~ln, and wa a d voted ervant of the Order. he was made a erving , i ~ ter in ln30 in recognition of her work. ister Rippin has also left the Ho. pital owing to breakdown in her health. 1\1i G. Peyton Jones 11a r joined th c taff and ha been appointed Matron and ister G. tarke ha been, lcct d to take the place of iter Rippin. 11i Ell n imp on ha been appointed ecretary of the Ho pital and took up h r dutie~ in Jeru alem on 1st July. Thi i a new appointment. Your ommitt e wa of opinion that the ,Varden should be r lievcd a far a po ible of the clerical duties that had fallen on hi houlder. inc the re-opening of the Hospital after the War, thu leaving him mor time to devote to hi profe ional duties in the Hospital and the in p ction of the Government Ophthalmic Clinic. The number of In-Patients treated how a slight reduction, but the work in the Out-Patient Department continues heavy, a reference to the quinquennial comparative table at thc end of thi Report te tifie . In August, indeed, both New Out-Patients (3326) and total Consultations (15,751) constituted a new monthly record. In-Patients tend to be increasingly intra-ocular cases which accounts for the decrease in numbers, as their stay in Hospital is nece~sarily longer. The Hospitaller, who visited the Hospital in the spring, accompanied the \Varden on his tour of inspection of the Government Ophthalmic Clinics and presented their Certificates to those of the Palestinian Nurses who had earned them by four months' primary training in the Hospital and a return in the foHowing year for a refresher course of one month. The ten ophthalmic clinics are in charge, under the Government

doctors, of the Ho pital-trained nurses who wear on their left arm the badge of the Order when on duty. The following eight nurses received certificates: Bahjeh Haddad, Hanneh Cubeisy, Marie Zaini, Hind Jirius Touma, 1ary Karam, Mary Rustom, Salwa Jabbour, and Shahla Tafish. Your Committee regrets to have to report that very lHtle headway has been made with the plan for building a block for the treatment of paying patients. The architect, Mr. Percy Winter, advi ed against prolonging the front of the Hospital by adding to it an extension, a. originally planned, on the south side, and partly on rest.hetic grounds suggested that the new building should be on the same side of the road as the Annexe, where in his opinion a new Out-Patient Department should also be erected which would have the practical ad van tage of obviating the necessity of the out-patients hanging about on the main road, as they do now, to their own danger and to interference wit.h the ever-increasing traffic. Unfortunately, this would necessitate the acquisition of the site at a heavy cost and an alternative plan therefore of dealing with the problem is under consideration. In 1931, amongst the cases in the Out-Patient Department were 77 R.A.F. and Army personnel, 187 Government officials and employees, 107 European monks and nuns and 174 British and American nationals. All these are, properly, patients who should be seen in a paying patient exten ion for which the Warden has been pressing for many years. Chapter-General approved a grant for the purpose of continuing the experiment of the School for Arab Girl which was opened for its fir t session in the Old City in December, 1934 and closed in March, 193-. The High Commissioner, Lieut.-General Sir Arthur vVauchope, wrote in July that" The school is already a success, and offers great possibilities for the good of this country. It would therefore be in my opinion a calamity if this school was to corne to an end". The disturbed tate of Palestine, owing to the war in Abyssinia, made it impossible for the Warden to open the school, as intended, in November and it rna be that it will not be considered practicable to open it till the turn of the year, if then. This is naturally very disappointing, as the experience gained in the second term would definitely have shown whether what was admitted to be in the nature of an experiment had corne to stay. Miss Margaret Woolley, the Hon. Lady Superintendent of the School, 1934-35, has been admitted a Serving Sister of the Order in recognition of her services. On 25th March there took place in Jerusalem a special Police Parade when His Excellency the High Commissioner presented- among other distinctions gained by the Police-the Order's Bronze Life-Saving Medal to Corporal S. E. A. Pitt for his gallantry in saving the life of a comrade during the disastrous floods in Tiberias in May, 1934. At the same time Mr. James Monro, O.B.E., M.C., Deputy District Superintendent of Police, was invested with the Insignia of a Serving Brother of the Order for valuable services as Secretary of the First Aid Division of the Force. Addressing the Police, His Excellency said: "I am very glad to have presented the Bronze Medal of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. From the earliest days, since I carne out here, the Inspector-General (Mr. R. G. B. Spicer, C.M.G., C.B., C.ST.J.) has urged on me how important the duty of giying First Aid instruction is to the members of the Police and I know we have to thank the Order of St. John of Jerusalem for having given

every encouragement and help in the training of the members of the Police Force in First Aid." The following is a list of names of those whom H.M. the King has been pleased to sanction for admission to or promotion in the Order, as a recognition of their support of the work of the Order in Palestine : To be Commanders (C.St.].).- Sir Michael F. ]. McDonnell, KT.BACH., Chief Justice; H. E. Bowman, C.B.E., Director of Education (from Officer). To be Officers (O.St.j.).-J. W. P. Harkness, M.B., D.P.H., Deputy Director of Health; Eric Mills, C.B.E., Assistant Chief Secretary; Cedric N. Johns, Field Archceologist, Palestine Museum; Mrs. J. W. McInnes. To be Associate Officers.-D. G. Salameh; Dr. H. F. Khalidi, Mayor of ] erusalem. Your Committee was glad to be able t.o congratulate the Warden and ~Ir. trathearn and the acting Matron, Miss Dight, on being selected to receive the King's Jubilee Medal. Your Committee has decided t.o accept an estimate for heating the Out-Patient Department by electricity supplied by the Palestine Electric Corporation, Ltd. The installation will cost £34, and it is estimated that the annual co t of current-at present rates-will be about £40. Miss Frances Newton, D.J .ST.J., who lives on Mt. Carmel, overlooking Haifa, and who is a great supporter of the Hospital and interested in all the activities of the Order in the Holy Land has made a munificent offer to the Order of her property at Daliet-el-Carmel, a Druse village about 10 miles from Haifa. This delightful property comprises the house on the out kirt of t.he village and between 35 and 40 acres of land which belonged formerly to Laurence Oliphant and where his first wife, lice, died. From the house there is an unrestricted view down the wooded valley to the Castle of Athlit and the Mediterranean Sea, ti miles away. Miss Newton stipulates that she be allowed to enjoy the use of the property so long as she is alive or resident in Palestine. Her offer has been gratefully accepted provisionally by Chapter-General. Advantage has been taken of Colonel Sleeman's visit of inspection, as Chief Commissioner of s.J .A.B.O., of the Commanderies of outh Africa and New Zealand and of the units of the Order in Au tralia, Malaya, India, and Ceylon, to bring to the notice of Members of the Order and of all St. John Ambulance workers the claims on their interest of the Ophthalmic Hospital of St. John at Jerusalem. Colonel Sleeman is distributing between two and three thousand copies of a letter, drafted by th~ Hospitalle:, w~ich gives at some length the history of the Hospital smce Its foundatIOn m 1882 and sets forth the programme which your Committee is anxious to see carried out in order to bring your Hospital more fully into line with modern requirements. By this mean it is hoped that further financial aid will be forthcoming for that purpose. Your Committee gladly acknowledges the support it already receives from the Oversea Commanderies. From New Zealand the Hospitaller, Mr. C. ]. Tunks, M.B.E., K.G.ST.J., remits £76 7s. 8d., and writes of the Annual Church Parade and Service: "The Parade in Auckland was the largest we have yet had. The total number on parade, including cadets, was 444. The parade was inspected by the Governor-General, Lord Galway, who also attended the service and read the Lesson." And further on he writes, "I find a definite increase in the interest taken in this Annual Church Parade as an occa ion for making a contribu-

All was most beautifully ordered, and the wards and quarters as cool and restful as possible, considering it was 90° in the shade: : .. The wards were full of grown-up cases, and there were rows of waIting mothers and children, each treated in turn with that wonderful mixture. of g~ntleness and firmness .which only the highly trained nurse can achI~ve. . Dame A~nes .has smce presented a sewing machine to the Nu~smg SIster~ ~or theIr pnvate use-a practical and much appreciated souvemr of her VISIt . The Income and Expenditure Account shows on both sides an increase

compared with the previous financial year, but the balance, being excess of Expenditure over Income which means the nett cost of the Hospital to the Order, is some £30 less. The Ladies Linen Guild has during the year under review been active in its support of your Committee by supplying many necessary articles for the comfort and well-being of both patients and staff. Particularly mcntion may be made of six more metal bedside lockers-three given by Lady Mulleneux-Grayson and three by the late Mrs. Guy Repton. The Hospital has twenty-four of these handsome lockers all of which have been presented through the Linen Guild. To complete the necessary number another twenty-four are still required. The Duchess of utherland ha presented a handsome gun· metal hanging lamp with bevelled glass. Your Committ c would acknowledge with thanks the following giftsBook and jig- aw puzzle for the taft from Colonel Milburn, O.ST.J. and thc Harrogate nemplo 'ment Council and their free freight through the kind interest of Sir Henry Mulleneux-Grayson, C.ST.J.: the following urns for special purposes; The Lady Plender, O.ST.J., £105, Guy Repton, LB.E., O.ST.J.

The number of patients admitted to Hospital was 1,027 and the number of operations perfOlmed 3,1·18. This total includes 827 intra-ocular operations, of which 286 were for cataract. There were 1,828 operations for the relief of trichiasis; most of the e eyelid operations were done on out-patients. As far as practicablc the operations are done under local ancesthesia but for various rea. ons a general ancesthetic was administered in 471 case. A a re ult of th e increase of intra-ocular cases admitted to Hospital (and the con cqucnt diminution of the number of beds available for cases requiring eyelid operations) the average duration of tay in Hospital ha gradually increased from 7 days in 1925 to 14 day in 1935. Classified according to religion, of the new cases 16,320 were Moslem , 3,458 were Christians, and 1,338 were j ews. Of the total consultation 78,900 were Moslems, 13,548 were Chri tian , and 5,290 were jew. It is of interest to note the attendances of jews in the Out-Patient Department. In 1927 they reached a peak of almo t 20 per ccnt: thi has fallen steadily since and now they form just under 6 per cent of the attendances. Although the jewish population in j eru alem ha: increased greatly during the past few years, the facilitie for treating them in their own hospitals have increased proportionately; furth f, most of the newcomers are accommodated in the New (]ewi h) jerusal m at the northern quarter, whereas this Hospital is at the outhern boundary ; lastly they are generally not of a cla to require much e e treatmen l or likely to seek advice at a crowded public dispen ary. The incidence of trachoma amongst the new patient. ~ was !l2 per cent. This is the highest rate recorded hitherto in this Ho pital. It i known that in the more backward villages of Palestine practically all the inbabitants beyond the age of infancy have acquired trachoma; in the larg r towns it is much less. Hence a rise in the proportion of viUag rs attending as compared with townspeople would account for some of t.bis increase. But there is no doubt there has been an increa e in the incidence of trachoma amongst townspeople following in the wake of the cycle of severe epidemics of acute conjunctivitis. This is the usual method of acquiring trachoma in Palestine. Although trachoma in this country ranks as one of the minor causes of blindness it is a disease, especially when untreated, which may lead to much impairment of vision and economic disability consequent on the sequels of trichiasis (ingrowing eyelashes). Further, the incidence of trachoma is a fair indcx of the cultural level of a people: hence, however much the prosperity of Palestine may be boomed, the fact remains that the great majority of its inhabitants are in a deplorably backward condition. Of the 21 ,116 new cases, 2,469 were" blind in one eye (11'6 per cent); and 876 were" blind" in both (4 '1 per cent); and the number of individuals who were" blind in one or both eyes was 3,345 (15'8 per cent). As in previous reports the term " blind includes not only the /I

It is of intere 1 to compare the return of Blindness of the Egyptian Ophthalmic IIo pital Section for the year 1934 (the latest available). ' umb r of pati nt xamined, 014,871; blind in one eye, 47,122 (5 per cent); blind in both e es, 11,371 (1'2 per cent); blind in one and both, ;)8,<193 (6'2 per ccnt). In the year 1919 the statistics of Blindness (per cent.ag ) for t.hi Hospital and the Egyptian Ophthalmic Hospitals were almost identical. ince then the Egyptian Blindness rate has steadily climini hed; on the other hand that of Palestine (or at least that part of its inhabitants which passes through the records of this Hospital) improved until 1927, but since then has steadily gone back; now our figures approximate those of the year 1920. Obviously the causes of this wor ning are various, but if any cause may be singled out, that of the rainfall (or the lack of it) must be held responsible. In the jerusalem area for the five yearly period ending 1919 the average rainfall was 768 mm.; during the next five yearly period it had fallen to 553 mm. ; and for the next to 400 mm. Thereafter, but with frequent minor setbacks (a particularly rainless winter was that of 1934-5), it has begun a slight ri e and lead Bodenheimer to express the opinion that in this country we have a period of about seventy to eighty years, with an interval of about thirty-five to forty years between the maximum and the minimum ; " If this idea proves to be correct-we have just passed the low level of the driest period (Bodenheimer). Palestine is quite dependent on the rainfall; Egypt is quite independent of the rainfall, rejoicing in the bountiful supply of the Nile. Water brings health and prosperity to the Near East; Egypt has both, but of late years the fellahin of Palestine have had neither. To return to a consideration of the immediate cause of the Blindness in the 3,345 eyes recorded, the following table is appended ;/I

Deducting from this Ii t the ca es of cataract (wh~ch can. u ually . b cured by operation) there remains a total of 3,781 Irremedlabl .blmd eyes: it will be noted that 3,100 (81 per cen~) of ~h~s.e eye w re blmded as a result, direct or indirect, of acute cOnjUnctivItIs. Further, under the heading of secondary glaucoma are included only tho.e ca e wh.ich it is reasonable to believe might have been cured by hmely urgIcal intervention. The annual epidemic of acute conjunctiviti wa exc ptionall ev re and quite the worst in our record ; not only were the number of .ca e much greater, but the incidence of ulceration of the c?rn a. ,~~ dL proportionately so. The total number of cases of acute con]uncL1\'ltl treated in the Out-Patient Department was 7,7 0 and of the e 1,6,-7 (21'2 per cent) were complicated with ulceration and 07 (18'7 'p~r ent) o~ the c went on to perforation of the eyeball. In the Annexe chmc (wher mfant and young children only are treated) there were 4,602 ~ew ca. ~ of acute conjunctivitis, of which 988 (21'4 per cent) were complIcated "'71th ulceration and 449 (45 per cent) went on to perforation. The total attendance of these cases in this children' ection were 21,27-. Th outstanding feature of the epidemic was the large number of case of m mbranou conjunctivitis (with the usual varied bacteriological finding). During the past two years, we have had a special medical officer for this Annexe section, but this appointment, for financial reasons, ha now lap ed. In future, an attempt will be made to carryon some of the work by one of the surgeons whose time is already wholly occupied by the work of the general clinic. This means that the work at the Annexe will ha~e to be drastically reduced. This is unfortunate, becau e the Annexe IS the only clinic in Palestine staffed and equipped for the treatment of acute conjunctivitis in children; hence it has attracted these ca es, yearly, in ever increasing numbers; but it has to be admitted that no doctor and no hospital really cares to have these most trying case in their clinics. On the other hand it is wrong to sacrifice the efficiency of the trained Hospital staff to this work when there is already too much ophthalmic work awaiting them, work that only a trained ophthalmic surgeon can do. To conduct the clinic at the Annexe does not call for any special skill in ophthalmology, but it does call for much endurance and infinite patience. If any medical woman would care to volunteer for this work I feel sure that the Hospitaller at St. John's Gate would

be pleased to supply all the particulars. The ophthalmia season is the five-monthly period, July- November, and especially the last three months. During the summer months the cloisters in the Annexe have been fully occupied by the Out-patient "inmates". These patients leep in the Annexe but feed themselves. Many of these people are desperately poor and there are always a few absolutely necessitous cases, especially amongst the children who on occasion are even left stranded in the Annexe: the feeding of the e, apart from the humanitarian aspect, becomes an essential part of the treatment. The number of meals given last ummer to such case was 288; this is much less than the previoll. year and only a fraction of that of a few years ago. At the Annexe linic throughout the ummer we were fortunate in obtaining the service of Mis ertrude Jones, a voluntary worker with much nursing experience in Egypt and Pale tine. She was an indefatigable help in this mo t trying Clinic; we hope to be equally fortunate in retaining her service for the coming year. In the Out-Patient epartment, 1,439 patients were tested for glasses and 1,053 pre cription for the same were given; the remainder-owing to the pr encc of irregular astigmatism or other conditions-showed lnsllffici nt vi. ual improvement to warrant a prescription. Amongst th a e xamin d were 133 Army and Royal Air Force personnel (i ncluding wive and children); 231 Briti h (including officials); 536 Pale linian ov rnment official and employee ; 20 British Police; and 1!12 ~I on k - and 1 un (European). In th X-ray Department, 32 photographs were taken, including 17 with the PoLt r-Bucky apparatu for the elucidation of sinus disease, new grow lh, tc. The weet apparatus was used for the localization of intra-ocular foreign bodies in 13 cases: unfortunately all but two of the e prov d to be of non-ferrou metals; these two cases (one a leading caman serving with the Fleet in Haifa Harbour) had the metal removed from the eye with the aid of the giant magnet and retained u -dul vi -ion. In the work of this department we are much indebted to the killed a i tance and advice of the Hon. Radiographer (Dr. W. E. Thomp on). The plaque of radium were in use as much as time permitted : the ca es t.reated included cancers and other tumours and a nu mber of ca e of pring catarrh. An apparent cure in many of these ea es wa r cord d but the lap e of some years is essential before one ran be ure of the non-recurrence of these cancerous growths. The t. John Arab chool must be mentioned although, actually, it did not reop n in the year under review. It had been the intention to tart again in November, but a an outcome of the Italo-Ethiopian war fomen t d by talks in Arabic broadcast from an Italian station, many of the fellahin became convinced of the imminence of the spread of the conflict. The obvious warlike preparations around them seemed only to confirm this view and with bitter memories of the privations of the Great War still fresh in many minds there was a marked disinclination on the part of the parents even to listen to any talk concerning the School. Hence it was decided to postpone the reopening. As a matter of fact it was reopened early in J anuary and except for a number of withdrawals it has continued to function satisfactorily. This second term fulfils the commitment of the Order to the Government of Palestine. Interesting as the experiment is and convinced as I am of its utility,

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

it is now realized that it is asking too much from the Staff of the Ho pital to add this to their normal routine. When the proposal was first made it was assumed that the conditions of the usual winter working of the Hospital would continue, but, whether as a result of the vastly improved communications and cheap transport, or to some subtle change in th mentality of the people, the work of the Hospital in the hitherto quiet winter months has greatly increased and is now double that of a few years ago and four times that of ten years ago. Hence the chool wa becoming a distraction; and I am of opinion that any activity however excellent in itself that interferes with the full-time efficiency of the legitimate work of the Hospital cannot be justified. The Department of Health has now ten Ophthalmic Clinics in operation ; and the number of subsidiary centres, staffed by trained male orderlie. and under the immediate supervision of an adjacent Ophthalmic Clinic, have been further increased. The Ophthalmic Clinics and some of the centres were visited during the year. Like the Hospital of the Order, their Staff has been heavily taxed during last season's phenomenally severe outbreak of acute conjunctivitis. nfortunately two member ~ of the Government Staff fell victims to the disease and one ( urse lice Knesevitch-formerly in the service of the Order as an Ophthalmic nur e) lost the sight of one eye; and a male Orderly had the ight of both eyes much impaired. They were both admitted to the Ho pital of th Order and everything possible was done: they may con ider them. elv fortunate to have retained so much u eful vision. One Government Medical Officer, Dr. Iunir ~Iou a, attend d tll Hospital for a First Course in Clinical Ophthalmology. imilar cour e were also taken during the summer months by Dr. Aram ahag Baghda.Sarian and Dr. Subhi Hamadeh-both of the American University, Beirut. Dr. Khalil Budeiri, at that time Ophthalmic Medical Officer, H alth Department, was attached as hitherto to this Hospital for duty during the winter months. One of the Health Department Nur e -Edibeh Yusef Khouri-was sent here for a course of four months' Training in Ophthalmic Nursing: she is now at work in the Ophthalmic Centre at Majdal andafter completing a year there and returning to this Hospital for a Refre her Course of one month-becomes entitled to the Order's certificate in Ophthalmic Nursing. Three Health Department Nurses- Alexandra Dubbikeh, Salwa Jabbour, Mary Ibrahim Zainy-had Refresher our es during the summer. Special mention must be made of the Linen Guild which has continued to supply our requirements. The Hospital linen and workroom i happily still under the watchful care and attention of Lady Watson; and the sewing parties organized by her amongst the British ladies of J eru alem meet regularly to supply local needs. Lastly, my best thanks are given to all the Staff, both British and Palestinian, for their loyal co-operation during an exceptionally busy year.

Report

Con1mittee for

1935.

During the year that has pa ed we have secured e\'eral n \V member and friends and have not only been able to supply the compl te list of linen and materials asked for, but haye added another £10U to th amounl of deposit which we hope to be able to use toward fumi~h ing one or two wards in the new Paying Patients' Quarter whcn thcce gel buill. A beautiful lamp to hang outside the front entrance of the Ho pital ha generously been given by the Duchess of utherland and sent out. In the summer the Committee gave a tea party at t. John' at, when all the articles supplied for the use of the Hospital were on view. A large number of members of the Order and their friend came and w re much interested to see all that was being done. \Ve expect thi williead to many more members of the Order joining. The Linen Guild and the Hospital have 10 t a generous fri nd and supporter in Mrs. Guy Repton , but her husband has given all and more than she had promised and an extra gift in her memory as well before she was taken so suddenly from us. The members of the Brigade and the Nursing Cadets hayc again shown their interest in this work of the Order, and have sent us many contributions. Lady Wollaston's Division of the Brigade supplied many dozen knitted eye-shades which went out last autumn and werc, I am afraid, omitted in last year's list of gifts. I should like to say now how very grateful my Committee are both to Lady Wollaston and her members. It will be noticed that six more Bedside Lockers have been sent out, thanks to two generous donors, thus making a total of twentyfour. When the Duchess of Sutherland visited the Hospital last spring (1935) she was asked if some more lockers could be supplied as they were so very useful and necessary. We hope in time to supply one for every bed or forty-eight in all.

Bc. id s the e the following were purchased by members' ubscriptions and donation : 1:3 pairs 'n bl achcd heet. :3G yard lue and \\'hite triped Twill. 12 ~ urg on' \·crall. 1 Packets Tape. 1 Roll Blue, Rcd and \\Thite Twill. 1 011 Black and Grey tripecl Twill. 1 Roll Trey ur e' loth. ~[he grateful thanks .of the .ommittee are again due to Lady \Vatson fOl hcr constant work m t~le Lmen Room of the Ho pital; also to Mrs. tralhearn for the grcat mtere t and personal trouble he takes with r gard to all th supplies and other work of the Linen Guild in Jerusalem' al'o to the employees at :'t.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE ASSOCIATIO .

ince the Chapter-General of the Order placed at the disposal of the Association a sum of money to defray the expenses of classes consisting exclusively of unemployed person in January, 1933, there have been 121 applications for assi tance. Of this number it is disappointing to find that only 73 of the classes which as em bled for instruction have been examined, the remaining 48 having probably disper ed. Inquiries reveal that classes which assembled with a membership of as many as 25 or 30 students gradually dwindled to negligible proportion until the few keener students became discouraged and dispersed. The total of 73 classes examined is made up of 32 in the first nine months, 28 in 1931 and 13 during the past twelve months. At an unemployed class held at Durham City His Royal Highness The Prince of vVales paid a vi it on 6th December. His Royal Highness was conducted round the '- ocial Service Centre and was shown a room in which a Fir t Aid cla s for the unemployed was in progress. His Royal Highne s expre ed his pleasure that such a class was being held. The efficiency of the Police Forces in First Aid and the increasing number that attend classes and refresher courses becomes more apparent. As an illustration the report of the Chief onstable of the Le d City Police, him elf the holder of the Medallion, shows that out of a strength ?f 718, in~luding all ranks and probationers, no Ie s than 70 l are qualified m first aId, and a large percentage have voluntarily attended refr her courses and obtained medallions and label. Again, at the conference of Chief Constables at Eastbourne \vhich the Director attend d on 12th June, all present "vere strong in their praise of the work of the Association, and practically all of them aid that they now in ist on the men in their respective Forces obtaining the Fir t Aid ertificate of the Association, and passing a periodical re-examination. An increased number of Girl Guides and Rangers ha,-c taken certificate of the Association since the decision of the Girl Guides A sociation to abolish its syllabus and adopt instead examinations on the s llabu of the St. John Ambulance Association (or of the British Red ro s ociet}) as the necessary qualification for its first aid and home nursing badges. A greater number of classes have been held at His Iajesty's Prisons, and there are indications that instruction in First Aid is likely to become a re~ular feature at such Institutions. Transport undertaking, and especIally the Midland "Red" Bus Company, Limited, which has formed Divisions of the Brigade at Hinckley and Bromsgrove, are also encouraging more noticeably the formation of classes. A class of deaf ~nd du:r;nb ~tudents ~ssem?led at. Middlesb.rough during the year for mstr.uchon m fir.st aId: mstructIOn of cnpples in this subject also contInues to be gIVen at the Lord Mayor Treloar's Hospital and College a.t Alton, and ~t the National Children's Home and Orphanage. ConsIderable atte~tIOn to t~e subject of First Aid is also being given both by the MetropolItan SpeCIal Constabulary and by the City of London Police Reserve. In the Dominions and Colonies Overseas, other than those where there are registered Centres of the Association, classes were held for the first time in British Honduras and in the Sudan. Both were Police classes, and it is evident that the example set by the Police Forces at

LEEMA. 's TOUH OVERSEAS.

Home is spreading overseas. First Aid has already been taken up enthusiastically by the Police in Kenya, Uganda, Bermuda, Zanzibar, and Pal stine, and, more recently by the Jamaica Constabulary, quite apart from those within the areas of Centres Overseas. On hehalf of the Association, Dr. P. J. Kelly, formerly Chairman of the British Guiana Centre, recently discussed with the heads of the Medical and Police Departments in the Windward Islands the desirability of forming classes in First Aid and kindred subjects; it was agreed that steps should be taken to this end. Dr. Kelly is shortly proceeding to the Gold oast and will endeavour to establish the work of the Association on the Railways, in the mines and among the Police. In Iraq classes continue to be held, and Dr. G. C. Sinderson, on whom has fallen a large share of the burden of instructing and examining these classes, is now introducing them into the School for Health Officials at Baghdad, while the Kenya Con olidated Gold Fields are arranging for the instruction of their employees at a large gold mine 80 miles from the nearest qualified British medical man. It is worthy of mention that the first examination in , anitation to be beld in Kenya took place in July, and it is hoped that lbis valuable, but neglected course, will be taken up by other Branches overseas. COLO -EL SLEE lA'S TOUR OVERSEAS. C nlr s of lhe ssociation in Australia, ew Zealand, and Southern ,\frlca have been informed that Colonel James L. Sleeman, c. LG., C.B.E., ,[.\'.0., a rnight of Justice of the Order and Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, "vho has been nominated by H.R.H. The Gland Prior to conduct a Vi itation of the Commandery in Southern Africa, and of the Commandery in New Zealand, will take the opportunity to get in touch with representatives of the Association. Colonel Sleeman sails for outh Africa on 4th October, 1935. CENTRES OVERSEAS. In Canada and in outhern Africa the Association continues to thrive under the guidance and control of the respective Commanderies. Indeed in Canada lhe number of certificates issued during the first seven months of the year was almost as great as during the previous twelve months. The ommandery in Canada has brought the activities of the Association more prominently before the public and to the notice of industrial concerns, and is using its best endeavours to further the interests of the Brigade. In Oll thern Africa no effort is spared to extend the activities of the Association among all sections of the community and to inculcate in the frikaans element a correct understanding of its aims and objects. Headquarters had the benefit of a number of discussions with Mr. Alpheus Williams, the Director of Ambulance of the Commandery, during his stay in England. In New Zealand the Centres are still in direct touch with headquarters at St. John's Gate as the Commandery is not yet in a position to take them over. All are as active as ever, but a special word of praise is due to the Auckland Centre, which has made great strides in all directions, especially in connection with its transport service. The Centres in Australia are all commendably active, and it is especially

THE

T. JOHN A mULANCE ASSOCIATIO

gratifying that the most recently formed of them, onthern Ta mania, is making rapid progress and 10 es no opportunity to rctain the support and interest of the public which it has already earncd. Headquarters at St. John's Gate had the pleasure of a visit from its Honorary Tr asurcr, Dr. T. H. Goddard, in June; and also from ,ir George Murray, E.C.M.G., the President of the Adelaide Centre, which also show very .;;atisfactory progress. In other parts of the Commonwealth the Association has every reason to be s3.tisfied with the activities of the several long-established and active Centres. In British Guiana the Centre remains active, and it is gratifying to find that a large percentage of certificate holder maintain thcir efficicncy by constant refresher courses. Headquartcrs at t. John's Gate were fortunate in having a visit from a member of the Committee of the Centre, the Hon. Dr. J. J. Henderson. urgeon-General in Briti h uiana. The Gibraltar Centre has al 0 made progre s ~ince it resu citation laot year. Mention is made hereunder of the occupation of its new hcadquarters by the Hong Kong Centre, a fact which has greatly facilitat d the work of this very active branch. The officials at t. John's Gatc were very pleased to welcome at headquarters Dr. A. R. Wellington, C.M.G., the President of the Centre. In India the year has been memorable for a working agreement which has been reached between the Association and the Indian Red ro s Society. Briefly the Association and the Brigade are cntru ted with the responsibility which they have always undertakcn, namely, in truction in first aid, home nursing and kindred subjects; and the pro"i ion of trained personnel for public duty in peace time and on the occa ion of nati~mal ~mergency or war. The Red Cross retains full respon ibility for Its child welfare programme, popular lwalth propaganda, and junior Red Cross work in schools. Both organizations remain autonomous, as hitherto, and are financed from the same fund. Great credit for this satisfactory settlement of a long out tanding and contentiou problcm is due almost entirely to the Chairman of the Indian r3.ncl1 of the A.ssociation, Sir David Petrie, C.LE., C.V.O., C.B.E., who applied hm:self whole-h~artedly to a thorough inve tigation of the problem whICh had remamed unsettled for so long. The Indian Branch of the Association is also to be congratulated on having been selected as one of the four organizations to share in the distribution of the large sum of money collected by the Committee, over which Her Excellency The Countess of Willingdon presided, in commemoration of Their Majesties Silver Jubilee. Relief work undertaken in connection with the devastating earthquake in Quetta is dealt with in the Report of the Chief Commisioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. Once again hea~quar~ers a~ St. )ohn.'s Gate was fortunate in having opportunities of dlscussmg WIth MISS HIll, the General Secretary of the Indian Branch, a number of points connected with the work of the Association in India. . In M aU.a, notwithstanding some inconvenience caused by a temporary dIspossessIOn of headquarters, there has been an appreciable increase in the number of awards issued, among which it is gratifying to notice a large percentage of Sanitation certificates.

CENTHE HEADQUARTERS.

The Newfoundland Centre is active, and III August its President the lIon. Sir William Horwood, found time to visit St. John's Gate and discl1 s various subjects. CENTRE HEADQUARTERS. The headquarters building in Hong Kong was completed during the year and is now in occupation.

The Act also protccts the Badges of the Association and the uniform and badges of the Brigade. The Form of Incorporation may be suitable for other Overseas Centres which may similarly acquire property. INTER. ATIO~AL CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. The sociation was represented at the International Congress of Life- aving held in Brussels in August by Captain A. C. White-Knox, M.C., LB., who read a paper on the" Uniformity of First Aid Teaching". Hi paper wa well received and aroused considerable interest. NEW PUBLICATIONS. The re'Ti_ion of thc Hygz'ene Textbook was completed by Dr. Neville M. Goodman during thc year, and is now on sale. Dr. Goodman devoted much tim and trouble to the revi ion of the book, which has been very well rcviewed. POLICE KIOSKS. During the 'ear fir t aid outfit have been placed in Police Kiosks at Dlackh ath Road (7), 'Voolwich (0), Eltham (10), Bexley Heath (10), Tottenham (7), and Enfield (19).

During the year the Metropolitan Police Authorities con ulted the Association as to the most suitable form of outfit for in tallation in police vans, barg , motor cycles, prison vans and the lik , and threc special types of outfit suitable for these various purposes ha\'e be n pr par d by the sc,oriation. IEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. Of the 11 if dical Comforts Dcpots in London one closed down during the year through insufficient dcmand for sick room requisites; and a n w Depot was established at the headquarters of the No.1 (Prince of \Vales's) District of the Brigade.

Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, Chancellor of the Order, took the chair at the presentation of prizes. The Right Honourable ir Robert Horne, Chairman of the Great West ern Railway, in presenting the Challenge hield, up, and prize, said he was pleased to be present at such an exc llent competition. The Railway Companies regarded with admiration the work of their ambulance men and the time the v devoted to the study of first aid was a splendid ex~mple of sacrifice. ~ The Ambulance Committee of th e Order once more thank Mr. and ~Irs. John Maxwell, and Mr. J 0 eph Grossman, of British International Pictures Limited, for their continued generous help in providing the staging for the Finals of the Inter-Railway and Police National Competition. The. p1cndid way in which these competitions were staged was of imm n -e a si tance to the teams, and added very greatly to their inter t from the point of view of the large audience which assembled on both occa ion . It may b of inlere t to record here the changes which have been made in the stars on the plaque ofthe Inter-Railway Ambulance Challenge Shield. Thi hield is of oxidi ed silver, bearing in the centre a burnished eightpointed or Ialle e ro s, embelli hed alternately in gold at each of the principal angles with a lion guardant and a unicorn, both passant (the badge of the Order of t. John). Above are depicted, in repousse work, the ood amaritan, t. J ohn's Gate, and a railway ambulance scene. Below are sprig of t. John's wort, with scrolls entwined, bearing re pectiv ly the legends "Fir t Aid to the Injured" and "Railway Competilion ", al 0 a plate inscribed" t. John Ambulance Association, being the Ambulance Department of the Grand Priory of the Order of the Ho pital of t. John of J eru alem in England. Presented for annual co mpetition in commemoration of the longest reign in English history, to ~ncourage ambulance work on Railway, 6th May, 1897". The shield 1.- surrounded by a border of t. John's wort, and is mounted on an oak plinth on \ hich are bosses on Maltese crosse, to be engraved with the ~ames of the winning rail:vays. The whole is surmounted by a modelled hgure of Iercury, symbohcal of modern railway speed. The. hield had OIiginally twelve 1\Ialtese crosses attached to the plinth, OIl whICh were engraved the names of the Railways winning the Shield and the year of the Competition at which they were successful. These lasted from 1~ 97 to 1908 inclusive. When these were all engraved, the number was mcreased from time to time until in 193 l twenty-two additional cros e had been :fi..'{ed. In 1935, as all the crosses had been engraved, it was found necessary to remove them, and they are now preserved in the Museum of the Order. 76 maller crosses have been substituted. The names of the Railways winning the Competition from 1897 to 1935 were engraved on the ne~essary crosses, le~ving sufficient to last for another 42 years. A SlIver plate recordIng the fact that owing to the Great War no Competition was held during the years 1915 to 1919 inclusive, was also attached to the plaque. c

The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal Secretary for vVales. . progres ive step was taken towar~s the end of ~h~ year with.a .v.lew to nabling Commissioners and AssIstant Comm1 SlOners to lmtI::te and supervisc class work in the~r ~espe~tive centres. In c?ntrast WIt? the position in England, a Comr~llsslOner m \~al~s h~s executIve responsIhility for all Association and Bngade work WIthm hIS Centre, though too little heed has been paid to the fonner. Under the new system, the Commissioner will receive a complete list of the year.'s classes ea~h autumn, and by receipt of cards of notification from Pnory Ho~se .will bc kept aware of ncw cIa ses forming from time to time and exammatlOns arranged. The comparative table below show that the total of 15,791 awards gained in 1935, is 392 Ie s than the 1931 figure, though only 5.t fewer persons attended course of instruction. T~e only appar.ent reas~n for the dec rea ing total of the past two years ~s ~he subtract:on of a bIg proportion of thc junior figures from thc Assoc:ahon resul.ts smce a large number of adet now take the Brigade effiCIency test m plac~ of. the Prcliminary C rtificate. On the other hand,. the number of exammatlOns or re-examinations arranged rose from 903 111193 1 to 9-11. As students pay an inclu ive f e covering instruction and examination, it is somewhat surpri ing to find that a many a. 9· 85 per cent of the total who ~ttended cour es did nOl sit for examination, the percentage for 1934 bemg 8 ·13. The number of failures is satisfactorily low, viz. 406 out of 16~ 19?, or 2··1!

The sl1ght decr~ase m .the numb r of candidate taking tll hrst yea~ course for th~ certificate IS due to ~he fact that th majority of tIl PolIce Force candIdates have now obtamed this award. An innO\-ation in the past two years has. been the formation of a class for pri oner , some of whom have obtamed the Voucher.

PUBLIC DUTY.

SIR, In the absence of Colonel Sleeman, who is engaged in inspectins units of the Brigade in South Africa, Australia, and Tew Zealand, I haye the honour, as acting Chief Commissioner, to submit m report on the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas for the year ended 31st Decemher, 1935. STRE GTH. There has been a net increase of 25 new Divisions; 50 new Divi ions (35 Ambulance and 5 Nursing) having been formed, and 25 Divisions (20 Ambulance and 5 Nursing) having been" disbanded during t he year. Among these" Disbandments are included 11 Divi ions which have been merged together as one unit and have not, therefore, been lost to the Brigade Overseas; and also 4 " adjustments In realit" therefore, only 10 Divisions have been disbanded. There has been a net increase of 437 in the personnel so that the strength of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1935, was :JJ

The Grand Prior's Cadet Badge has been awarded by the ChapterGeneral of the Order to 12 Cadets of the Brigade Overseas during the year 1935. Brigade Overseas Headquarters has i sued 586 efficiency awards to members of adult Divisions, and 984 efficiency awards to members of Cadet Divi ions. In addition proficiency badges were awarded to 101 Cadets.

SERVICE MEDALS AND BARS. During the year the Order of St. John awarded 162 Service Medals and 106 Service Medal Bars to members of the Brigade Overseas.

The Brigade O\'erseas has, once again, fulfilled its primary object by undertaking a great amount of Public Duty and it is estimated that during the year the members of the Brigade Overseas attended to some 120,000 cases during the course of uch duty . Hardly a year pas es in which I do not have to refer to the work of the members of the Brigade Overseas at some major catastrophe which has, unfortunately, involved much loss of life, many scores of injuries, and con iderable damage to property. This year our members were called upon to give a istance on the occasion of the devastating earthquake at Quetta, India, on 31st l\lay, 1935, when in Quetta city alone it was estimated that 2G,000 people were killed. \Vithin a few hours of the receipt of news of the disa ter a party of St. J ohn personnel from Lahore was organized by the Assistant Commissioner, Dr. Cairns, and rushed to Quetta \vhere invaluable work was done in co-operation with the :'Iilitary and :'Iedical Authorities, especially in the evacuation of wounded from the area. The party remained on duty until the 11th June, and by that date it is estimated they had dealt with over 12,000 dressings and o\'er 1, ~100 ca es which had been evacuated by train. At Lahore members of the Brigade were on duty to meet the relief trains and members of the Nursing Divi ions did extra duty at the Hospital, while there were many other volunteers ready for service had it been possible to make use of them. From other parts of India offers of personnel and stores were made, and there is no doubt that, as in the Bihar and Orissa earthquake of 1931, the Brigade in India has once again responded nobly to the call of this great emergency. I am glad to mention that the Chapter-General of the Order has recognized the excellent service done by the award of the Vote of Thanks on Vellum to the No.1 District of India from which the detachment was recruited. Another example of outstanding service performed during the year wa~ the work done by the Officers and men of the No.6 (East Indian Railway) District on the occasion of a serious mining disaster in the Giridah Coalfields. Public Duty performed in happier circumstances was on the occasion of. the Empire-wide celebrations of the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty Kmg George V and Queen Mary, when members of the Brigade Overseas were called upon to perform many hours of public duty. This duty which took place in every place in which the Brigade is established, was carried out. most efficiently and received many tributes, the most prized of WhICh wa~ that addressed to the Brigade by His Royal Highness The Grand Pnor of the Order, and which appears on page 7 of t his report.

THE

T. JOHX . \ r,lBCLAXCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF CO:'1MISSIO~ER.

INSPECTIONS OVERSEAS BY THE CHIEF COMMfSSIONER.

CEYLON.

Colonel Sleeman, Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas, left England in October last for a tour of South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, for the purpose of carrying out a Visitation of the Commanderies of the Order in Southern Africa and New Zealand under a Mandate from His Royal Highness The Grand Prior, and also to inspect units of the Brigade Overseas. I have referred later in this report to Colonel Sleeman's South African visit, but full details of this and his other visits are not yet available, nor indeed would they be appropriate for inclusion in a report for the year 1935.

The strength and efficiency of the Ceylon Police Corps of the Brigade Overseas continues to increase. There is now a membership of over 1,800, and there are 239 members who are in possession of the Service Jledal or Service Medal and Bar of the Order. The Corps was inspected on the occasion of the annual competitions by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, who paid tribute to the high degree of efficiency attained. Many cases of efficient rendering of First Aid by members of the Corps have been reported, and the Meritorious Certificate of the St. John Ambulance ssociation has been awarded to P.c. M. Jawan.

GENERAL.

I am pleased to be able to report the formation of a new District of th.e .~rigade Overseas in Burma with Headquarters at Rangoon. Tew DIVISl?nS have also been formed at Hobart, Ta mania, where the Brigade has h~therto been unrepreser:ted, while in Newfoundland attempts to resuscItate the work of the Bngade have been successful in the formation of a new Division. A n~mber of Districts of th~ Brigade Overseas are intere ting themselves 111 t~e matter of precautlOns to be taken in the case of gas attacks from the aIr. They have been furnished with information by the Department set up for the purpose. With reference to the work in each Dominion : AUSTRALIA.

The work in all Districts continues to be maintained at a hil:Yh level of efficiency. During the year ir Alexander and Lady Hore- 1") uthven kindly consented to become Patron and Patroness of the New outh 'Vales District and their interest i~ tl~e \Vor~ of the Brigade is highly valued. In the ew South 'Vales DIstnct an ll1teresting feature has been the formation of a Hospitaller ' Club, of which Hi Excellency the Governor has consented to be Patron, and the Lieutenant-Governor ir Philip W. Street, to be President. Thi is the second club of i t~ kir:d to be formed in Australia, a Hospitallers' Club already being in eXIstence in the South Australia District. CANADA.

This is the first full year in which the Brigade in Canada has been under the administration of the Commandery in Canada, and I am glad to be .abl~ to report .that there has been signs of continued progress, one of whIch IS that dunng the year seven new Divisions have been formed. I -"vas sorry to lose, through resignation on account of ill-health, the serVIces of Colonel J. Clarke as Commandery Commissioner, but I am glad to welcome the co-operation of Colonel A. E. Snell, who succeeds Colonel Clarke as Dir.ector of Ambulance and Commandery Commissioner. From ~eports receIved from ~fficers in charge of Districts throughout Canada, It would seem that whIle the membership of the Briaade remains keen. and efficient, as yet there are ~ew opportunities for ~arrying out PublIc Duty. I hope. t~at as the Bngade becomes more widely known throug~out the DOm111l?n a~d the value of its services more fully apprecIated by the public, thIS drawback will disappear.

HO G KO TG.

The outstanding event of the year in Hong Kong was the opening of the new Headquarters Building of the Association and Brigade. This was formally opened on 9th .May by His Excellency Sir William Peel and will, no doubt, prove to be of great service to the work in the Colony. During tbe ih'er Jubilee celebrations the members of the Brigade were on duty from 10.30 a.m. until the early hours of the following morning during the whole of the week which, I think, is a splendid tribute to t.he spirit of service which has been so often manifest in this District. I DIA.

I have referred earlier in this report to the magnificent work performed by the members of the Brigade Overseas on the occasion of the Quetta earthquake. During t.he year, in addition to the new District formed in Burma, a new Raihvay Di trict "was formed from among the Divisions of the Ko. 2 District. In this Di trict the Divisions of the Calcutta Police Corps were formed into a sub-District. I am glad to be able to report that the No. 2 District, India, was in pected during the year by His Excellency the Viceroy, and the o. 3 Di trict by His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. On each of these occasions, which typify the interest taken in the work of the Brigade, there was an excellent attendance on parade. Field-Marshal Sir Phillip Chetwode (Commander-in-Chief) has most kindly presented a hield for competitions among the Cadet Divisions of the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India. MALTA.

The Divisions in Malta have maintained their strength and activity throughout the year. Many members of the Brigade have volunteered their services to the Government for hospital and ambulance work in case of emergency. NEW ZEALAND.

There are now 130 Divisions of the Brigade in New Zealand, and 7-1 Cadet Divisions, with a membership of over 2,600 adults and 1,700 Cadets . This continued growth is a source of much satisfaction and is a tribute to the energy and efficiency of the membership. Her Excellency Viscountess Galway has kindly consented to be Patroness of the Nursing Divisions within New Zealand.

KENYA, UGAr DA, AND ZANZIBAR. The strength of the Police Divisions in Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar have all increased during the year, and from each place reports have been received of cases of Fir t Aid where members of the Brigade have been instrumental in saving life or in affording relief in cases of serious injury. In Uganda I was sorry to lose the sen'ices of Captain 1. St. C. Thorn as Divisional Superintendent of the Divi ion, due to his retirement from the Force on the grounds of ill-health. He has been succeeded by Captain E. G. Fish, who, I know, will ably carryon the work initiated by Captain Thorn. In Zanzibar the Division was inspected by His Excellency Sir Richard Rankine, the British Resident. SOUTH AFRICA. The Brigade within the Commandery in Southern Africa has increased its strength by the formation of 13 new Divisions during the year. An advance report from Colonel Sleeman has revealed that in aU Districts the work of the Brigade is in a high state of efficiency, and that the membership is exceptionally keen and enthusias tic. CONCLUSION. In concluding this report my thanks as Actin~ Chief Commi sioner are due to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Lady Superintendentin-Chief, for her continued interest and activity in the work of the Brigade Overseas. I would also like to express to all Officers and Members of the Brigade Overseas my deep appreciation of their services which, often in trying and difficult circumstances, have been given unstintingly in the work of the Brigade in all parts of the Empire. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) P. . \VILKIXSO. (jIajor-General), Acting Chief CO}}1,missioner, The St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas.

BRIGADE OVERSEAS HEADQUARTERS, ST. JOH 's GATE, CLERKENWELL, LO ' DON, E.C.1. THE CHIEF COM lISSIONER, May, 1936. ST. J OIIN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. Sm, I haye the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st D ecember, 1935. During the pa t few months the Kursing Divisions in outhern Rhodesia and outh Africa have had the privilege-for the first time since their formation-of being inspected by their Chief Commissioner and on their behalf I would like to expre s to you the great pleasure your visit has C(1U ed. Your kind ncouragement and appreciation of the work that is being done in the part of the Empire has given a wonderful impetus and in piration to all who had the pleasure of meeting you . Your arrival in Au imlia and.l. Iew Zealand is awaited with enthusiasm and gratification. In Canada I much regret to report the re ignation of Mrs. Henderson, my very ahl and fficient Lady District uperintendent from Quebec, and aloof jIr . . J one, Lady Di\'isional uperintendent of the herbrook ;\Ul" ing Di\'i ion ince it formation in 1915. Irs. Henderson bad the honour of bringing 0\' r the first Canadian V.A.D.s for duty in France in 1915 and ince that time he has devoted her life to the work of the rder and the Brigade. I fully share with my members in anada the great re aret that she ha felt it impossible to continue to hold the po t which she has fill dowell and 'with such zeal for many :'> ears. I am glad that both the e officers have agreed to serve on the Reserve. In India the ~ ursing Diyi ions were able to render most valuable C:r\'ice- after the Quetta earthquake not only at the scene of the catastrophe but al -o in the Hospital and on the Relief Trains. The reports and letters of appreciation that ha\'e been received how how thoroughly and readily the Officers and ::\Iembers of the Nursing Divisions carried out their arduous and difficult dutie . The Cadet ur ing Divisions are progressing very satisfactorily; the keenne and efficiency of the members are a credit to themselves and their Officers . In all part of the Empire an extra strain has been put on the members of the Brigade by the ilver Jubilee Celebrations of King George and Queen J\Iary but the ready and spontaneous response to this call shows clearly the deep devotion and loyalty to their Sovereign which is felt so deeply by all i ts members. In conclusion I would like to ex pres to my Officers and m embers my sincere appreciation of the excellent work they are doing and to thank them for their loyalty to the ideals and standard of the Brigade, and I trust that we may have the pleasure of welcoming many of the members ofthe Brigade Overseas at the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in 193 7. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) BEATRICE H. DENT, Lady Superintendent-in-C hief.

REPORTS

FROM

DOMINIONS.

AUSTRALIA.- ew So'uth TVales D z·strict.-\iVing-Commander II. R. P oate, M.B., Commissioner in Charge of the ew outh Wales Di trict, r eports : -

The year under report has seen a further advancement in our activities. From a perusal of the returns furnished by our Divisions it \\ill be ob erved that there has been an increase in the number of public dut.ies performed, and a very satisfactory general progress. All the demands made for t.he services of our Brigade were fait.hfully carried out and on the whole I consider officers and members are deserving of p raise for the work done. One of the most important items of interest during the year was t.he attendan ce of our representatives at a conference at the Chief 'ecretary'5 Department dealing with" Gas Attacks" and the precautions t.o be adopt.ed against .\Ir H.aids. Th i matter is dealt with under a separate heading in thi ' report. Early in the year I found it necessary to promote Di\'isional uperintendent . T. Hayton of the Eastern uburbs Divi ion, and .\.mbulance OHicer \\'. B. Kubi g, of Paddington-\Yoollahra Division, to the rank of District fncer on the IleaclC]uart 'r. Staff, owing to the increased activities and demand made on the Staff. Both til '~e officers have proved themselves valuable members of my :t.aLI. It is more th III probable that further increases will be necessary in the near future, if t.he present growth of the Brigade continues. The standard of efficiency and discipline in -ew outh \\'ales is of the highe. . order, no doubt due to a great extent to the training now being carried out at t ht'" Staff School of Instruction and to the greater apprecIation of t.he \\'ork 11 Ing sho\\ n to the Brigade by the Government of New South \Vales, by sporting bodlCs, and by the general public. During the year just ended no less than 54,791 cases of First Aid were rendered without payment of any kind, according to our general custom. Most excellent service has been rendered by Lady District Superintendent }'Irs . G. :;\1aund and by Lady District Officer fIlrs. J. E. Henson in connectLon \\ Ith t he equipping of the ursing Cadet Divisions, and the supen'l!:>ion of the Erst i\ l<l and Home ursing Competitions. Both officers are to be congratulated on the resu lts of t heir labours. The most important public duty was that associated with t.he King 's Jubilee Celebrations during :;\Iay. Details of this duty are reported in another paragraph . Late in the year the District suffered a severe loss by the decease of Distnct Officer F. E. Holmes ( erving Brother of the Order). :;\1r. Holmes \Va. a popular District Officer and highly esteemed by all ranks. His knowledge of Brigade matters was extensive and at all times freely imparted. The vacancy caused by the demise of Mr. Holmes will be hard to fill. I h ave pleasur e in reporting the formation and registration of the following new u nits :Sout h Sydney Nursing Division 1st January, 1935. Waratah Section (Adamstown Division) 15th October, 1935. On 1st J anuary, 1935, the New Year Honours List contained the name of Dr. .t\. . Reginald McLeod, District Surgeon of the ew South 'Vales District, who was awar ded the distinction of an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. This is t he first occasion on which a member of the Brigade in this District has been so honoured. To Dr. McLeod we offer our heartiest congratulations. Upon his assuming the office of State Governor of ew South \Vales, a courtesy call was made on H is Excellency Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, V.C., K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O., Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John, by the Commissioner, Dr. Hugh H. . G. Poate, Assistant Commissioner Dr. H. J. ,V. Brennand, District Superintendent Mr. A . S. Wilkinson, and Lady District Superintendent Mrs. Jobn l\1aund, on 12th March, 1935. As r equired by General Regulations, all Divisions in the Metropolitan area were individually inspected, and from reports furnished by the inspecting officers all un its were smart on parade and their drill on the whole was up to a high standard, whIch state of affairs reflects great credit on the officers and personnel of the individua l D ivision s.

R EPORTS FR011 DOM!. IO .. S .

During the period of September to November, District Superintendent A. S. Wilkinson carried out inspections at Bulli-'Voonona, Adamstown, Katoomba, Lithgow, and Portland, and reports that interest in the 'Nork of the Brigade was being well maintained in all these Divisions. Much progress has been made during the year at Adamstown, where for the first time the Brigade uniform is worn by J-1 members. A 'ection of this Division has also been formed at \Naratah, with ~l members on t.he roll. The Divisional Superintendent and officers are to be complimented on t.heir efforts which are exceedingly encouraging. The members of the Katoomba Division showed keenness in their work and great credit for tIp efficient and active state of t.he Division is due to the interest taken by the Divisional Superintendent, ~Ir. \V. T. Da\is, who is one of our most loyal workers. Inspection of the Leet.on, GOlllbourn, and 'Yollongong Divisions were undertaken by the Divisional Surgeons on my authority. :'1r. \Vilkinson also !;Lates that he was greatly impressed with the spirit of loyalty on the part of all the country Divisions towards the Order of St. John and their desire to hve up to its very high traditions. The }'let.ropolitan Ambulance Divisions were inspected by members of the District Staff, who e reports were in nearly every case very satisfactory. The Nursing Divisions ,,"ere inspected by Lady District Superintendent Mrs. Maund and :'.lrs Henson, \\'ho reported that all Di\-isions were working well and their efficiency very good. The Lady District Superintendent reports that the Nursing Divisions have gone through a very successful year. This year t.he ~urs!llg Divisions were inspected at the Forum Club in order that member might meet Col. C. 1. Ellis, Surgeon-in-Chief of the Home Brigade, who was visiting .:\ustralia. .\lso it was hoped that Lady District Officer }.Iiss L. Overend, of the Iri h Free Stat.e, " 'ould be pre ent at the same time, but she was too ill to attend. }'lrs :'Iaund expects to be leaving for England in June, and will take the opportunity of visiting each tate in the Commonwealth to discuss the uniform p re:cribed by Headquarters . Durin;; the year ~lrs . :'laund was able assisted in her duties by Lady District Officer }'lrs. J. Henson and members of the Competition Committee. The total member hip of the ::\ew ' outh 'Vales District of the St. John Ambulance at 31 t December, 1935, was 1, -10 members. The District now comprises 30 Ambulances, 21 Nursing, 4 Sections, and 18 Cadet DIvisions. The principal public duties of the year were : (a) .11l::ac Da\' , ~-tl~ pril, 1935. 478 officers and members were on duty and attended 69 ca. es, including -1 cases at the Dawn Service at the Cenotaph. taff Officer on duty were :-District Officers F. E. Holmes, S. L. Parsons, W. I\:ubig, X . Hayton, Lady District uperintendent ~lrs. G . .i\laund, and Lady District Officer ~1rs. J. E. Henson. (b) King's Jubilee Celebrations, 6th }'1ay, 1935. Owing to the inclement weather which was general during the celebrations the attendance of the general public at many of the functions was less than anticipated, but, nevertheless, 155 members were on duty at the Royal Review and Thanksgiving Service held in Centennial Park, and treated 3 cases of collapse. During the fireworks display 50 members were on duty and attended 45 cases. The members are to be commended on their arduous duty as, although wet through to the skin, and their uniforms ruined, they nevertheless stuck to their posts in true St. John fashion. T~e following officers of the Brigade were honoured with the award of the Silver JubIlee Medal, for distinguished Services to the State during His l\lajesty's reign :Dr. Dr. Dr. Ir. 1\1r. ~lr.

After presenting Service :\Iedals of the Order, the Servit:e :\Ieclal Bars for 1 n;; service, and also Competition Trophies and 0Jec1als, His Excellency after Lf)ngratulating the Brigade on its fine parade, said: .. You belong to a wondl rful organization, one of the most historical and \'enerable organizations in the ,,·orld. and you are carrying on the ""ork in the same spirit of unselfishness that characterized the work of the ancient members of the Order of St. John, combinin rr the romantic history of the past with the practical needs of the future. You have wonderful standards to live up to, and I know that at all costs you are not going to let do\\"n the historical and venerable Order of St. John to which you helong." Among those who witnessed the Inspection were :-Sir Phillip Street, K.C.~1.G . , Lieutenant-Governor, Knight of Grace of the Order, and Colonel R. \V. \Valsh, D.S.O . , V.D., Deputy Director of ::\Iedical Services. 2nd ::'Iilitarv District. As usual the Band of the Royal Australian Naval Reserve, Sydney Port Division, supplied the musical programme. In order to co-ordinate the activities of ::'Ietropolitan Divisions I have in mind the establishment of several Corps in certain districts. I feel sure this would be a ,\"ise move, as it will bring the Divisions concerned into closer touch and will facilitate arrangement of duties as well as relieving the District Staff of many minor details, which could be dealt with by Corps Officers. After a good deal of consideration and investigation it has been decided to establish a Hospitaller's Club, open to those citizens who are interested in the Order of St. John and its activities in New South \Vales. His Excellency the State Governor, Sir Alexander Hore-Ruthven, expressed himself as very interested in the movement, especially as he had experienced such a Club in Adelaide.

It is hoped that a similar Club will prove a valuable auxiliary to the Order in Tew South \ Val s, and many leading citizens have promised their support. District Officer W. Kubig, Officer in Charge of the Staff School of Instruction, reports that during 1935 three sessions were conducted, as under : First SesslOJZ. Second Session. Third Session. 19 ,All H.anks. 35 All Hanks. 50 All Ranks. From.t~e a~o\'e it is noted that the S~hool is becoming a recognized Brigade asset. The traInmg IS thorough and the curnculum is arranged so as to conform to the demands of 13rigade General Hegulations. The title of the School has been altered from the ":t\on-Commissioned Officers ~chool of.

In order to assist the offIcers and non-commissioned officers a special book, Hints for Officels alld XOH-COIJIIIIlSSWned Officers, has been compiled by the officer in charCTe of the School, and In future it will be regarded as one ofthe textbooks of the Scho~l.

THE

ST. JOHN A 1BULA1\CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

Once again I have to record our appreciation of the continued friendly and harmonious relationships between the Ambula nce Transport Service Board. through their District Committee. and most of the Brigade Divi ions. The Chairman Mr. R. J. Hawkes, has at all times been most sympathetic to the Brigade. :'11'. J. L. R. Cameron, Secretary of the Board. has proved a good friend, and it was with great pleasure I recommended both these gentlemen for recognition. ::\Ir. F. "\. Thorpe, Chairman of the Central District, and ::\lr. H. J. :'.Iitchell, the :'Ietropolitan Superintendent have assisted us in many ways, and on the whole we are working well together in all Districts for the common good of the general pu blic. Advice was received of the impending visit to Australia of the hief Commissioner for Brigade Overseas, early in 1936, and all ranks are eagerly looking forward to the visit with the utmost enthusiasm. Colonel Sleeman is assured of a warm welcome on his arrival in this District. I have much pleasure in drawing attention to the continued unselfish energy and kindly interest displayed by all our Divisional Surgeons and other members of the medical profession in furthering the objects of the Brigade, and to the Sydney Press for their continued help in promulgating the activities of the Order. I wish also to thank our supporters and friend once again for their practical help, and especially to ::\lessrs. Brooks and Deane. Public Accountants, Sydney Fernes. Ltd., Messrs. Rudders, Ltd., .I.

South Australia District.-Dr. S. L. Dawkins, Commissioner in charge of the South Australia District, reports :Since the last report three new Divisions have been started; two men's Divisions. namely at Port Adelaide and 1.t. Gambier. and a sub-Division of the r ursing Divisions at Brighton. The Annual Church Parade was held as usual on St. John's Day at St. Peter's Cathedral, but as an innovation this was held in the evening, which enabled a much bigger attendance to be present. It also gave me much pleasure to welcome at that service members of the South Australian Ambulance Transport Inc. Most of the suburban Divisions have held Church Parades in their respective Districts. The Annual Inspection was held on the 15th December last and was attended by His Excellency The Governor, Major-General Sir 'W inston Dugan and Lady Dugan .

REPORTS FRO I DOMIl\IO~S .

COinpetitions.-This was the first occasion on which the Brigade as a whole have hcld ambulance and nursing competitions. Contests were held for individual contestants (men and women) also squads of four men and four women respectively. ] hese contests have been the means of raising the standard of the work and is, therefore, very gratifying. 'We are indebted to the following firms and individuals for various Shields and Awards and to them we extend our sincere thanks: )lessrs. A. M. Bickford and Sons, Ltd., F. H. Faulding and Co., Ltd., John Martin and Co., Ltd., lyer Emporium (S.A.), Ltd., Shaw and Son, Dr. H. H. E. Russell, and Mr. S. ]. Jacobs. The two ambulance vans which are now being used purely for Ambulance work and similar functions have naturally not covered the same mileage. For the first lew months 227 patients were carried. 157 race meetings and public functions have been attended. The number of functions attended by men and nurses for the year was 1,907, the total attendances of men and nurses being 5.215 and the total casualties treated by members is shown on the records to be 6,851. The First Aid rooms at the beaches, six in number, continue to be of great service to the public, and during the year 1,177 patients have been attended to. The strength of the Brigade has again shown an increase, there now being the following efficient members :-District Staff 8; Corps Officers 6; Divisions 484 ; l{eserve 6. Fmance.-The statement of Income and Expenditure and Balance-Sheet shows a marked increase in donations received by the Brigade during the year. Over and above that amount the social functions held also show a big increase. These two items are extremely pleasing to me, as it not only means that the public are recognizing thc work that is being done by the members, but also that the Divisions are arranging functions to augment any other income that accrues to the Brigade. On the expenditure side, however, a big increase is shown in the expenditure for uniforms and equipmcnt. This is accounted for in that 56 extra men and women were put into uniform during the year. "While I would naturally like to see everyone in the Brigade in uniform, with the limited funds this is not possible. The position of the Brigade, however, is more satisfactory than it has been for a considerable time. ~ have personally visited all the Divisions during the year; District or Corps OIticers have also made many visits and have helped by advice and encouragement bcfi tting the occasion. In ~onclusion I wish to express my thanks to all my staff, Corps Officers, Supenntendents, and members for their loyal support and help given during the past year. To 11'. H. G. Rosevear, the Hon . Auditor, I wish to record my appreciation for his great help in finalizing all accounts for the year.

lVestern Australia District.-Dr. H. G. Tymms, Commissioner in charge of the Vie tern Au tralia District, reports : During th~ ye~r under review the general efficiency of the Brigade in this District was well mamtamed, and enthusiasm increased on all sides. Two additional Ambulance Divisions were formed-both associated with the \Vestern Austral.ian Government Railways and Tramways Department, viz. the Meekatharra Ra~h:'<l:y and the Perth Tramway Ambulance Divisions, bringing the n~mber of the DIVISIons up to 29, comprising 24 Ambulance and 5 ursing Divisions, \\lth .a total strength of 517, inclusive of 26 divi'3ional surgeons, 11 divisional supenntendents, 38 ambulance officers, 23 non-commissioned officers, and 419 rank and file. -r:he .district staff now comprises 6, including a commissioner, a district surgeon, a dIstnct superintendent, a lady district officer, and two district officers. On the Eastern Goldfields (Kalgoorlie and Boulder), where there are 5 Ambulance and 1 Nu~sin&, Divisic:)lls, steps were taken towards the end of the year to form a Corps, WhICh If sanctIoned, will be the first corps established in the district, and are located nearly 400 miles from headquarters, and out of direct touch of the s~au~d make for the better co-ordinating of the work of the Goldfields divisions, which dIstnct staff. The first Cadet Division in the district is about to be formed to be attached to the Fremantle Ambulance Division. ' . During the year. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior was pleased to approve the ISsue of three serVIce medals, three first bars, and one second bar, bringing the total

serv ice awa rds issued to members of the Brigade in the district from its inception to 22 serv ice m ed a ls, 11 first bars, and 2 second bars. Further awards have sinee been earned , and will be applied for in due course . They consist of three service med als, fou r first bars, and three second bars. The r eturns of the divisions disclose that 1,339 cases were attended by members while on p u blic duty, and 1, 152 while not on public duty, during the year. Memb er s of divisions in country towns again assisted the sub-centres of the Associa tion by manning the ambulance for the transport of t.he sick and injured . On 21 st December I was afforded the pleasure of meeting our esteemed hief Commissioner, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.:'II.G., C.D.h., 1'I1.V.O., as he passed throu gh on his way to ew Zealand, and extending to him a \\'elcome at which members of the Order, and of the Council of the Head entre of the .\ssoClation and O([lcers of t.he Brigade were present. All associated with ~he moven:.ent in t.hi~ district: arc 10?kll1g forwar d to Colonel Sleeman's return in Apnl next, \\hen he wlllll1spect the dnilslOns in various parts of this district. I feel sure the visit, \duch is unique, will be beneficial to t he Brigad e in particular and the work of the Order of St. ]01111 generally t h roughout "\Vestern Australia. I cann ot conclude this report without extending my sincere thanks to my district staff for t heir support throughout the period, and to the officers and rank and file of t he d ivisions for t heir enthusiasm and the efficient service rendered by t.hem to the community d uring t he year.

BERMUDA.-Dr. H. C. Curtis, Dist rict Superintend nt of the Bermuda District, reports :The Brigade in B ermuda cont inues to carry out. it.s dut.ies efiiciently in spite of the r a ther small n u mber of members. ::\Iany efforts have been made during the year to increase t he stren gth of the Hamilton Xo. 1 Division but., unfortunately, without a vail. The Associa tion classes held during the early part of the year ould not, owing to Brigade R egulations, provide any increa e since these were Police classes. During 1935 we have been u nfortunate enough to lose our Cadet Superintendent by r esigna tion, b ut in spite of this the Cadet Division cont.inues to meet. There has not b een a n y increase in str ength. Drills of both Divisions h ave been fairly well attended throughout the year. The Inspection was a ttended by t en officers and men and the same \\ ere inspected by the District Superinten den t. Eight officers and men attended [or the annual reexamination a nd p assed. Am on gst t he absentees were men engaged on the Tew YorkBermuda Steamship Service, m en on leave of absence, and ot.hers engaged on night work. Public duty has been performed on every possible occasion. Mention should be made of the duties willingly a nd gladly performed on the occasion of IIis l\lajest) s Jubilee. The m en r eported for d u ty at 9 a.m. and were const.antly on duty unh l 10.30 p .m . Quite a nu m ber of cases received attention, but happily none of a serious nature, due, no d ou bt , t o t he fact that our men adopted Safety First measures. Particularly w as t his n ot iceable during t he Military Display at night, when the crowds situated on the high banks adjoining the fie ld were kept at a safe distance from danger by the vigilan ce of Brigade members. During the year all t he school sport s meetings were attended by our members, and m a ny cases wer e r ep orted. The worst happening was the case of a severed artery at the sports of t he Inter Schools on 16th l\lay. While the m embership of the D ivision is not as strong as we should like to report, the m embers a r e really keen and look forward t o all occasions for public duty. \\"e are hoping during t he coming year to incr ease our membership, since we are no:v completing a class for electricia n s and we fee l confident we shall be able to recrUlt a number of m en from this class .

The orps has increased from 132 members in 1912 to 1,820 in 1935. Every Policeman who has a sufficient knov;ledge of English is required to obtain a First Aid Certificat.e. The number of certificate holders increases yearly as Police become more proficient in Engli h. 1 ) members of the Force hold the Service ::\Iedals, having completed 10 years' efficient sen'ice in the Corps, and 50 members hold the Bar to t.he ervice ::\ledal, having completed 15 years' efficient service in the Corps, and onc member holds the 'econd Bar to the, en"ice ::\ledal, having completed ~O years' efficient sen ice in the orps. In a country such as Ceylon, \\ hich has an ext.ensive seaboard and is studded with numerous lakes, ri\"ers, and lagoons, a large number of drowning cases is inevitable. Further. the exitence in every villa ge of \\'ells, which in a great many cases are unprotected, has been the frequent cau e of tragedies from drowning, specially amongst children. ror many years every Officer, Inspector, ergeant, and Constable 111 the l'orce has been required to ha\"e a practical knowledge of Schafer's method of rest.oring respiration in the apparent.ly clro"wned. At the Training chool no recruit is passeu out until he can S\\lm. In truction in swimming has been part of the curriculum for many years, and since the Training chool became affiliated to the l{oyal Life 'avin a oc.iety it has become our aim to make a many recruits as possible efficient in life-sa\'ing by their practical knowledge of rendering help to a person in (IIfbcuttles in the \\ ater. .\ kno\declge of First. ,'lid is particularly useful to Police in districts where so many eases of senous injunes from personal violence occur at places far distant from a hospital. In the year 193-! there were 369 cases of homicide and attempted homicide, 1,295 cases of grievous hurt, and 1,661 cases of hurt with dangerous weapons, Lommitlcd in the Island. In case brought to Police tatlOns of assault and accident, in which bone are fractured and punctured wounds caused, there can be no question but that the cleaning of the wound, the stoppage of bleeding, or the application of :splint, before a long Journey is undertaken, must cause great relief to the patient an d prove the value in the subsequent treatment. ::\Iot.or accidents are not uncommon, and as many of them result in persons being injured a kno\dedge of First .-\id becomes daily more necessary to a Police Officer. Pollee motor car patrols, each equipped "with a First Aid Hamper, have been maintained on the following roads :-Colombo-Kandy, Colombo-Ratnapura, ColomboGalle, and on the roads in the ]affna, Kandy, olombo, Panadure, and Galle district. As a result of the instruction gi\"en in First Aid, e" ery man realizes that it is his duty to assi t persons injured in cases of as ault and accidents. Thi instruction has had effect in impressing upon all ranks an important part of their duty towards the public, and ha , at the same time encouraged good relationship between the Public and the Police. \ \"hereas in the past a Police Officer coming to a village was regarded as a common enemy, in that he generally came to arrest an offender; it is now r eali zed that he is ready and \\'illing to render assistance in cases of injury.

Honours.-It is gratifying to note that His ;'Iajesty the King, the Sovereign Head of the Order of 't. John, has approved the admission as a erving Brother of the Order of Dr. G. Thornton. Dr. Thornton wa the Assistant Commis ioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Ceylon for four years (1922, 1923, 1925, and 1926), and was on of the Judges of our First Aid ompetition for nine years. His Majesty the IGng has also approved the addition of Dr. D. D. . Outschoorn to the list of Honorary Life ;'Iember . Dr. Outschoorn ha been the Police urgeon, Colombo, from ITovember, 1931, to July, 1935. _-'l part from the duties which fell to him as Police Surgeon, Dr. Out choorn has gone out of his way in instructing and examining the members of the Force in First Aid and re-examining annually all holders of First Aid Certificates stationed in Colombo. He has given instruction to

571 members of the Force during his term of office as Police Surgeon. In the year 1932 Dr. Outschoorn personally re-examined 57-1 members of the Force, in 1933, 619 and in 193-1, 698. Each year he has, in the months of August and eptember, held refresher courses of instruction for all members of the Force holding Fir t "\id Certificates in olombo. These Refresher Courses have proved mo t valuable in helping members of the Force to keep up to date in the rendering of First Aid. As an encouragement to the ergeants and Constables of the Brigade, he has awarded a Cup to be presented to the sergeant or constable who scores the most number of marks at the annual re-examination . He has also during the last three years been one of the judges at the Eliminating Tests held in connection with the Annual First .Aid Competition. Inspector A. R. de Livera and Con table 1 60 ~I. J awan havc been awarded the nleritorious Certificate of the t. John Ambulance .\s ociation in recognition of their services of saving life by rendering excellent First .\id. The thanks of the Force are due to Dr. F. O'B . Ellison, .\ssistant Commi ioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade, and to Dr. R. BriercliHe, O .B.E. , DlIcctor of :\Iedical and Sanitary ervices, for all they have dene for the Corps, and al 0 to Dr. D. D. S. Outschoorn, the late Police urgeon, Dr. am de \ 'os, Police urgeon, and to other Medical Officers in the Provinces, who have, throughout the year, prepared members of the Force for First Aid Examinations and instructed other members quali£y1Og as efficient.

CYPRUS.-VV. C. C. King, Divisional Police Division, reports :-

uperintendent of the Cyprus

As stated in my annual report for 193'+, the Cyprus Government was good enou~h to vote £50 towards First Aid instruction and equipment for the Pollce ill 1935, and as a result the Cyprus Police Division has been enabled to go ahead and purchase additional equipment. On 31st December, 1935, we had distributed among the larCTer Police Stations of the Colony H Furley Pattern Stretchers and H fitted hampers, in addition to t extbooks, triangular bandages, sets of splints, etc. There i also at Headquarter a wheeled stretcher, \\"hich is taken by the Police to Race :\Ieetings and simliar functions in Nicosia. A further sum of £50 has been provided in the Police estimat.es for 1936 and more Police Stations will be equipped in due course. The total membership of the Division dropped during the year from 50 to 37. These 37 members of the Division went through a course of lcctures dunng the latter half of the year, and at the annual re-examination there were only two faIlures. A further number of Officers, Sergeants, and Con tables received lectures and cour 'e of instruction and at the close of the year took the examination to qualify for tJ e First Aid Certificate. It is understood that 1 pa. sed the examination and will 10 due course be awarded their certificates, which will entitle them to enrolment in the Division. In the current year additional officers and men 'will take lcctures to qualify for the certificate. A high standard of knowledge of English is now insisted on for tho e wishing to take the course. Stretcher drill was taken in hand during the year, and although the standard of efficiency is still not high it will definitely improve now that we havc more stretchers for practice purposes. Apart from the handicap of Police personnel having an insufficient knowled ge of English, it is the exception, rather than the rule, for Cypriot ~Iedical Officers to have a good knowledge of English and many of them experience considerable difficulty not only in lecturing in English, but" in understanding the textbook. A reorganization of the Medical Department is, however, under consideration, and it is hoped that the position in this respect will soon be considerably changed. In last year's report I was not able to mention any instances of good First Aid work by the Police, so it is with great pleasure that the following instances in 1935 are quoted as showing that training and instruction is bearing fruit and helping members to realize their duties and responsibilities : (a) In Limassol town, a certain person dropped unconscious in the street. A Police Sub-Inspector, a holder of a First Aid certificate, who was nearby immediately rendered treatment for insensibility and conveyed the patient to hospital on a Police stretcher.

(b) A man rushed into the Ticosia Police Station complaining that he had been stabbed in the arm. Blood was pouring from the sleeve of his coat, and it was obvious that an artery had bcen cut. A tourniquet was applied to the upper arm and the man was immediately sent to the hospital, where doctors declared that but for the timely application of the tourniquet his condition would have been very serious. (c) A child of three years of age fell into a well 36 feet deep in a certain village. After three aHem pts the child was brought unconscious to the surface . Artificial respiration was pcrformed by the two constables present and after forty minutes the boy started to breathe naturally. 0 doctor was available, but after It hours' treatment a complete recovery was made. (d) On b 0 occasions First Aid was rendered by the Police to persons who received injurics whilc fighting fires in Limassol town. In the cw Year's Honours List is included the name of our Divisional Surgeon, Dr. C. C. H. uil, on whom His :;\Iajesty has been pleased to confer the dignity of an Officer of the l\Iost Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of his valuable services to Cyprus in his capacity as Surgical Specialist of the ;'ledical Departmen t. The Force has again to express its great indebtedness to him for his valuable assistance and all the trouble he has taken over examinations and instruction, and to the Senior Medical Officer for the willing help and co-operation of his Medical Officers in giving up their leisure bours to lecture and instruct members of the Division. HONG KO~G.- . lIorris, District Superintendent in charge of the Hong Kong District, reports : -

The local Corps is now entering on its 21st year of existence in Hong Kong, and so .celebrates its" coming of age"; the Association however dates back to 1884 . The year has been one of striking contrasts-regrets and rejoicings-rejoicing at the opening of the Association and Brigade Headquarters by His Excellency the Governor, Sir \\"illiam Peel, K.C .;.\I.G. , K.B.E., tempered with regrets-necessarily Incide nt at the departure of His Excellency and Lady Peel from the colony on retirement. In an unobtrusive manner both did much to help the Brigade both in a practical manner, and by gi\"ing advice where needed. Both Sir William and Lady Peel frequently visited thc clinics in the New Territories, thus giving " moral " enco uragement to the nurses there. \Ve rejoiced again in \\Oelcoming His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, C.M.G., C B.E., as 1 atron, and, although he has been with us a short time, he has contrived amongst his multifarious duties to visit most of the clinics, and to show his interest and sympathy \\"ith the work of the Order by heading a public appeal for subscriptions to enable us to carryon our work . H is to be hop d that each member of the Brigade will do his or her best to maintain the regard which His Excellency has evinced for our Organization.

Strength. Staff :-23 Surgeons; 31 Officers; l\Ien 264; Nurses 125; total,474. Recruits, 120. The numbf'r of recruits indicated have been selected from members attending the First Aid and Home ursing Classes and if finances permitted the strength of the men's divisions could easily be increased to 1,000 strong; many applications for membership have been turned down owing to the heavy expense of equipment. :\1r. Au Boon Haw, the well-known philanthropist and Officer of the Venerable Order of St. John, has offered to equip 500 nurses with the necessary uniform, thereby eliminating anxiety in r espect of the maintenance of the nursing divisions. ,lIen's Divisions.-The strength of the men's divisions has been well maintained: there is reason for congratulation from the fact that no less than 12 members qualified for the Long Service Medal in 1935, and 6 for the Bar-the equivalent of 15 years' efficient service. The Railway Division has a splendid record of continuous service: 8 members each with a record of 12 years' efficient service and 6 with 11 years' service. oT?~ senior divisions-The Y.1I.C.A., King's College Old Boys, and the Indian DivlsIOns-have provided efficient officers for junior divisions. The Kowloon and the Mongkok Divisions have now completed 10 years of enrolment in the Brigade.

The heat and the dense crowds found the members much to do, as over 100 cases, chiefly of fainting and heat strokes, were dealt \\ith. One membcr captured a cow which had run amok in the thick of the procession. There were several cases of fractured limbs, and one death-an old man participant in one of the features of the procession. .

The fluctuation is due to nurses entenng the vanous hospitals as probatIOners or as nurses to private practitioners, others have married or left the Colony. The Y.vV.C.A.

The European Nur ing Division at Calcutta sent to Karachi and Lahore 156 parcels, each packed with a complete outfit of clothing for a refugee. In addition food for both Indians and Europeans was sent to Earachi and Lahore, and a case of antiseptic wound dressings to Lucknow. Later, a parcel containing surgical dressings, antiseptics, etc., was sent to ::\Iultan. TO.

The Chief Commis ioner for the Brigade Overseas issued the following special congratulatory order expressing his appreciation of the work done by the members of the BriCTade : "The Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, wishes to express to all who engaged in the work of rescue or relief of the sufferers in the Quett'l earthquake his very deepest admiration for what was so nobly accompli. bed. " The Chief Commissioner in India, ir David Petrie, has brought to the notice of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem the names of all those many who gave s uch magnificent assistance; and those especially who performed work beyond t he ordinary. " His report testifies to the fact that what was done by both the Brigade a ntI Association in India during that most anxious and terrible time was in accorclance with the highest traditions of the historic Order to which ' ...·e have the honour t o belong or to serve. " And that this remarkably fine record is shared by both European anel Indian alike is additionally gratifying; and to both I extend my deepest thanks and my admiration for what they so successfully, and so nobly, accomplished. " Neither was the Chief Commissioner St. John Ambulance Brigade O,'erseas alone dependent upon ofiicial reports upon this fearful catastrophe; for his elele t son, Lieutenant J. C. de F. Sleeman, an Officer of the Order, was him elf in"oIYcd in it. " And his first-hand reports from Quetta testified to the very "aluable anel selfsacrificing work done by those who survived the earthquake, and by tho e oth rs who-at immense trouble and in intense discomfort-hastened there to rend er assistance."

Railway District. I o. II District has had to be further sub-divided by the creation of the Calcutta Police Sub-District. Four new Ambulance Divisions, one each in Bengal and Delhi and two in Burma, were formed during the year. Special importance attaches to the formation of a new ursing Division in Bombay, called the Bombay (Yluslim) ;ursing Division, in April, 1935. This unit has been established under the <egis of the Muslim Ambulance Society, which is to be warmly congratulated on having formed this pioneer Division. Four Cadet Divisions were formed at Lucknow, Moradabad, and Fyzabad in the United Provinces; these continued to be under the direct charge of the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India. At the end of 1935, therefore, the strength of the Brigade Overseas in India comprised seven Districts, 69 Ambulance, 13 Nursing, 13 Cadet Ambulance, and 6 Cadet Jursing Divisions, with a total strength of 2,772 members. The Brigade in India is now over a quarter of a century old, and one of the Divisions has already celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1930 . It is gratifying to note that a considerable number of its members were amongst the recipients of the King's Silver Jubilee Medal. There has been all-round progress during the year, and further appreciation of the usefulness of the Brigade by both the public and the authorities. In Bombay,

In the course of his most encouraging address HIS Excellency said that" the work which they were doing was of great importance, not only in its dlrect benefit to the city of Bombay and to the other cities, but as a malllfestalion of good citizenship which it was desirable to foster and increase and the annual paradc was an encouragement to other cities to follow their example". On the ~7th June the Chief Commis ioner for the Empire of India paid a visit to the Bombay Corps for the second time. In his address he said that" he noted with pleasure the recent public activities of the Bombay Corps and that the ambulance workers of Bombay ity had so fine a period of public service in time of war, in time of disturbances, and in time of peace, that any unit in the whole of India might well envy them ". The. s istant Commissioner also held the official Annual Inspection \\ hen the turn-out of members was satisfactory. The members of the District were as usual called upon to perform public duties at athletic functions, fairs, festivals, excursions, in and out of Bombay, when much useful work was done by those detailed for duty. A noteworthy piece of public duty was as istance rendcred in putting out a fire in a thickly populated house at Dhobi Talao and the bringing down from the third floor of a house of two men suffering from suffocation and their removal to hospital after receiving First Aid. Several other persons were also rescued. In connection with the Quetta earthquake disaster the members were ordered to be in readiness to proceed on service. 50 members \'olunteered for ervice in Karachi and 100 for service in Bombay, while 20 ambulance sisters of the Parsi ursing Division offered part-time service in hospitals. Their services were, however, Dot required. o. I V District (111 adras) , The Madras mbulance Corps consists of 8 Ambulance Divisions with 252 members. Two of these Divisions are in the Buckingham and Carnatic Mills, concentrating their activities exclusively in the mill area, while the other six are scattered all over the city attending to all public duties and general parades as a Corps. The Corps was inspected by the Assistant Commissioner twice during the year. Three Inter-Divisional Competitions were held, all of which were won by the George Town Division. ~he members rendered public service at 10 fairs and sports meetings, 17 temple du.hes alld 9 sea-bathing feasts. They treated 981 cases while on duty, and 23 pnvately. At the Park fair and sports they rendered specially valuable work in restoring several lost children to their parents, besides rendering First Aid to cases of fractures, etc., before removing them to the hospital. The St. John Ambulance Association, South Indian Provincial Centre, made a grant of Rs. 150 for the provision of badges and buttons to members of the Corps who cannot afford them.

A l\Iuslim Division with membership of 60 enthusiasts is in course of formation . Forty-nine well-attended parades were held during the year. The District unfortunately is still without 'any ursing Division, a defect which n o effort should be spared to remedy.

No. V Distrtct (MysOl'e). This District was sanctioned in May, 1934, with three Divisions, and another Division (No. IV Chamundi Division, Bangalore) was added to it at the end of thlS y~ar with a membership of 16 First Aid Certificate hold ers . The other three Divisions, VlZ. TO. I (Headquarters) Division, No. II (Central College) Division, and o. III (1\lallaswaram) Division have not made much progress and have submitted no returns. First Aid classes were, however, held by o. I and II Divisions. No. VI (East Indian Railway D istrict). This District is the latest addition to the Brigade Overseas organization in India, and its formation received the official sanction of St. John's Gate in August, 1935. The constitution of a separate District for a Railway System is a departure from the ordinary practice and is in the nature of an experiment. As the rcports of activities recei~ed from the. various Divisions, ~ummarized below, show, the experiment promIses succ~ss WIth prospects of conSIderable future development. The District w,:s. f?rmed WIt~ a strength of seven Ambulance Di·...isions, to which two Nursin g DlvlslOns are bemg added, and further units are in process of formation. It is fortunate that the Chief Medical Officer of the Railway, Lieut.-Colonel ir Hassan Suhrawardy, O.B.E., V.H.S., LL.D., D.SC., l\I.D., F.R.C.S., D.P.H., through whose energy and initiative the District was formed, is also the Assistant Commissioner of the. Distric~. During his tour'S. of inspection he inspected the Brigade Units and was sahsfied wIth the general effiCIency of the members. Some of the Railway Divisions were represented at the parade of members of TO. II District, which was inspected by Their Excellencies the Viceroy and Lady \Villingdon. The question of the formation of Voluntary Aid Detachments is receiving the serio1!s att~r:t~on o.f th.e Assistant Commissi~ner who is endeavouring to orgamze Nursmg DIvlslons m dIfferent parts of the Railway area to provide recruits. Burma District. This District was reconstituted early in 1935 and two Ambulance Divisions were fo!med, one in the Burma Government Medical School and the other in East Rangoon WIth headquarters at the Town Branch of the Young l\len's Christian Association. DUling the year F~s.t. Aid classes and stretcher drills were 'well attended by the members of both DlvlslOns. The members of the ::'1edical School Division, howe\'er, did not appear for re-examination, and owing to the fact that the authorities of the School are of opinion that ambulance work interferes with the normal work of the students, this Division will have to be disbanded. .P??lic duty was undertaken on five different occasions by the East Rangoon D~v~s~on and a number of cases were attended. Both Captain Ameen, A.I.R. O., DlvlslOnal Surgeon, and 1\1r. T. S. . Rajan, the Divisional Superintendent, are keen and they have set the members of the Division a good example. A J?-umb~r.o! notices were issued to the Press outlining the work of .\mbulance and ursmg DlVISlons and as a r esult a few people have agreed to start First Aid classes with a view to the formation of Divisions, once certificates have been obtained. Following on the publication of the Voluntary Aid Detachment scheme, steps \\'ere taken to collaborate with the RA.M.C. authorities at i\Iaymyo and l\1ingaladon. In both cases the officers concerned expressed their willingness to help, and meetings were held to try and interest the ladies of the station but the results have not been encouraging so far. In Rangoon Irs. Cargill Thompson gave a course of lectures in Hom~ Kursing to a number of ladies, mostly employed in offices, and the successful candldates have formed themselves into a class in First Aid under Dr. (1\lrs.) 1. Hufton. It is hoped that it will be found possible to organize these ladies as a Nursing Division at the end of the present course . .T?~ards the end of. the year an invitation to form Ambulance and Nursing DlvlslOns connected wlth the Burma Railways was addressed to the Honorary Secretary of the Burma Railways Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, but without success. The. As~istant Commissioner is indebted to :Mrs. Cargill Thompson for her enthuslastIc endeavours to promote the formation of Nursing Divisions. During the

Conclusion. This is the last report which I shall submit as the Chief Commissioner for the EmPi:'e of India, as ~ shall have retired from India before the next report comes to be wntten. I should ~lke to take this opportunity of expressing my warm appreciation of the good work.which all ranks of the Brigade Overseas in India have done, and of the selfless .dev.ohon a.n~ ,Public spirit shown by them in carrying on and expanding the hum,:mtanan actlvltIes of the Order. I wish also to acknowledge publicly the loya~ asslst~nce an~ whole-hearted co-operation received from the Assistant CommlSSlOners lD the DIstricts, who have ever been zealous in the interests of the Order and in incre~sing th e usefulness of the Brigade Overseas. illy e~penence has shown me that the field of work is almost infinitely wide. The fou~dahon.s h ave been laid soundly and should ensure steady progress. Two great natIonal dIsasters, the Bihar and Quetta earthquakes, have already demonstrated the value of the services the Brigade can render on such occasions to sufferina memb~rs of the community. In greater or less degree there is need and there is roo~ for !3ngade work everywhere. While I am very proud of the work done by the Briaade dunng the years I have been associated with it, my last word must be in the n:ture of a.n appeal for wider support than so admirable a public institution has yet reccived.

KE. YA.-Ca.ptain G. Pritchard Brown, Divisional Superintendent of the Kenya. Police Division, on behalf of District Superintendent R. C. A. Cavendi h, reports:. The strength of the Division on the 31st December, 1935, totalled 121, a nett Increase of 7 on the total at the end of 1934. Five members were struck off the str~ngth during the year on ceasing to be members of the Kenya Police Force. The raCIal composition of the Division is as under : Europeans siatics Africans

The membership at the close of the year is the highest yet recorded. ~~embers c:f the Division are by reason of their duties as Police Officers posted at van?u.s. statlOns throughout the Colony. DlvlslOnal examinations and re-examinations were conducted throuahout the Colony in 17 centres during the year. 0 ~he Division has again to record its deep gratitude for the ready and valuable aSSIstance given in instruction and examination by both Government and Medical Offic~rs and private practitioners throughout the Colony. It is again desired to mentlO~ p~rhcularly the name of Dr. Carman, our Divisional Surgeon. He has been unspanng lD the help and time he has devoted to the First Aid work of the Division. Capt. R P. Cormack and Dr. H. D. Tonking, of the Government Medical Research Labo~ato:y, again rendered valuable assistance during 1935 in conducting examlDatlOns and in instruction. ~irst A,id. was rendered by members of this Division during the year to 33 senously lDJured persons. Cases of interest are : (a) ~[ficient " First Aid " was rendered by Assistant Inspector J. R May when an IndIan, Ab~ul Ali s/ o Ali Dina, was brought to Nairobi Police Station suffering from a wound m the chest and one on his wrist, inflicted with a clasp knife. Both Wounds were dressed and bandaged, warmth applied by means of blankets. The treatment arrested the hcemorrhage. The patient was removed to hospital and recovered.

The records show that the activities have increased. There has been an advance of 241 in the membership. Twenty-three new Divisions (8 Ambulance, 6 ursing, 5 Cadet Ambulance and 4 Cadet Nursing) were formed during the year. The Dumber of public services undertaken by members has continued to advance, as the following figures \-\'ill show : 64,407 1933 64, 24 1934 65, 59 1935 The number of cases of " First Aid attended to on Public Duty" was 28,978, agamst the previous year's figures of 26,2~ .

The number of cases of "First Aid attended to TOT on Public Duty" was 26,325 against 24,012 for the preceding year. The removal or transport work undertaken by the Brigade amounted to 7,157 cases, against 7,0 for the previou year. From the records kept by Divisions in connection \-vitll transport work it is shown that there was a total attendance of members of 6, 7, and that the time put in amounted to 51,159 hours. The number of hospital attendances was 250. This duty is carried out by Divisions at Whangarei, \ ' ellington, and Oamaru. The number of cases" Nursed Privately by Members of Iursing Divisions" amounted to 1,209 against the previous year's figures of 1,193. The general advancement in connection with the Cadet Branch of our organization has been most satisfactory. Some districts are still lagging behind, but it is hoped th~t . they will now realize the undoubted advantages of the junior units. One stnking proof of the value of the youth training is the formation in Sumner (Canterbury) of an adult ambulance division, the personnel of which consists entirely of lads who have qualified in the cadet ambulance division which was formed there

some years ago. There has been a considerable increase in the number of Cadet Proficiency Certificates issued. Twelve months ago it was announced that six ew Zealand Cadets had secured the Grand Prior's Badge, and it is pleasing to be now able to state that an additional twelve of these badges have been award ed during 1935, three going to the Auckland District, one to Wellington, and eight to Canterbury. A number of changes have again taken place amongst the senior officers of the Brigade. The announcement of the appointment of Her Excellency the Lady Galway (Dame of Grace) as the Patroness of the ursing Divisions was received with much satisfaction. In the Auckland District, District Officer A. \V. Goouerham found it necessary to ask for a transfer to the Reserve, and his place was taken by District Officer F. E. Schofield. Colonel F. W. W. Dawson, ilLB., has been appointed a DisLnct Officer at Hamilton. In the Wellington District, Colonel J. H. \Vhyte, D.S.O., D.C.::--! , has been appointed District Officer to fill the vacancy at Palmerst on orth. Dr. J . P Walker, District Officer at Hawkes Bay, has transferred to the Resen'e upon his departure from the District. Mr. Hopeful Gibbons, M.B.E., has accepted the position of District President of the Brigade for the \Vanganui District, and ~Ir. R J . L. Thompson has become District Vice-President of adets. Divisional Superintendent R. A. \Vall, of New Plymouth, has been selected as District Officer for Taranaki, and l\1r. D. E. Gullery has become District Transport Officer at \Vanganui. In th e Canterbury District, District Superintendent T. F. S. Rudd has been promoted t o Senior District Superintendent and 1.\1r. Eric G. Gray has become District Superintendent for orth Canterbury. District Superintendent \V. Smith of the South Canterbury Sub-District tend ered his resignation after a lenothy period of service. The thanks of the Brigade have been tendered to Mr. mith for the excellent work which he rendered to St. John. Mr. J. M. Dunne has been appointed as District Officer at Timaru. The death occurred in February, 1935, of 1.\1r. Harry Hadlow Seed (Officer of t he Order), who was the first Assistant Commissioner for the \Vellington District, and who held that position with distinction until his retirement in 1924. The Brigade lost an esteemed and capable officer through the death of Divisional Superintendent W. H. Barnard of the Palmerston North Division. The Stores Depots at Auckland, \Vellington , and Christchurch have, owing to t he formation of new divisions, had heavy demands upon them during the year, and it is pleasing to be able to report that all requirements have been fulfilled. Competitions continue to be held at various centres and interest has been well maintained. The South I sland Inter-District competitions were held at Timaru on Labour Day, when teams came from all over the South Island. The visit of the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas to .1. ew Zealand was eagerly looked forward to by all ranks. Since the close of the year Colonel Sleema n has come and gone, but as the Visitation does not come within the scope of the 19.35 activities, I do not propose to refer to it beyond remarking that it proved an inspiration to all members, and must result in greatly advancin rr the interests of t he Order, Association, and Brigade. My thanks are due to the officers and members of the Brigade for their loyal support. The members of the medical profession have continued to give their servil-es freely and have helped greatly in the work. In conclusion, may I express my appreciation for the interest in and encouragement which you have extended to us, and which has greatly helped us in our work.

UGANDA.-Divisional Superintendent Captain E. G. Fish, on behalf of Major F.

Later in the year this lady formed a female Home ~ursing class, 4 of whom qualified for the Home ursing Certificate. .. I am now able to record that the number of certificate holders in the Distnct increased from 1 at the end of 1934, to 76 at the end of the year under review. I hope that with the formation of Divisions mentioned in paragraph 1 of this report that I shall at the end of the year 1936 be able to record a furth~r s~ bstant~al increase.

Extract from the annual report of the Commandery in Canada for the year 1935 : O",ring to the absence and eventual resignation of the Director of Ambulance, who is also Commandery Commissioner of the Brigade, no detailed report is available. The Officers of the Commandery can only say th at the Provincial Commissioner~ are functioning satisfactorily and are taking an increasing interest in the developm ent of the Brigade in their Di tricts. It is satisfactory to know that the total strength has increased during the year and that there has been a greater activity in the matter of Public Duty. The Officers of the Commandery are keenly interested in the d velopmenL of the Brigade, and upon the appointment of a new Director of Ambulance will give pecial attention to the problem of increasing the efficiency of the present personnel and of organizmg new Divisions where such expansion is warranted .

Report of the Commander Commi ioner for the y ar end d December, 1935 : -

The outlying divisions were inspected by Officers in charge of the various Districts, and all showed a highly creditable standard . . Officers and members of the Brigade turned out in large numbers to the Inveshture conducted by Colonel Sleeman in Johannesburg: to the special St. John Service in St. Mary 's Cathedral, and to the evening service at the Dutch Reformed Church, both of which the Chief Commissioner attended. I have to express my very cordial thanks to Lieut .-Colonel G: ~. Peacoc~ for so kindly carrying out the duties of Acting Commandery Comm1sslOner dunng my absence from the Commandery; I hope that he will have a speedy r ecovery from h1s recent indisposition. There is a \\elcome increase in new Divisions-especially amongst the Cadets, wh1ch should prove a valuable recruiting ground for the Adult Div~sions. . The Chief ommissioner during his tour of Southern Rhodes1~ obtalled. t~e interest of the British South Africa Police, the members of which body 1t 1S anticipated will shortly enter the Brigade. The Brigade Annual Ambulance Competitions for the" Selborne " and" H ewa.t." Shields were held in Johannesburg in ovember during Colonel Sleeman's V1~1t there and enabled him to attend. At the evening function he presented the trophies to the successful competitors and spoke in high praise of the general stan~ard shown. The Brigade continues its voluntary service at various sports functions, an~ on all public occasions throughout the Commandery, and many letters are rece1ved testifying to their im'al uabl e service. In conclusion I must express my great appreciation and sincere thanks to all Offlcers and 1\Iembers of the Ambulance and ursing Divisions for their able and ready service throu ghout the year, and especially for the splendid effort put forth by all units during the hief Commissioner's tour of the Commandery.

The outstanding event in the Brigade year was the Yisitation paid to the Commandery by Colonel James L. Sleeman, Chief ommis ioner of the St. Joh n Ambulance Brigade Overseas, which permitted our Chief ommissioner to personally conduct the Brigade annual inspections at all large to\\ ns and including many of the smaller units en 1'ou te. Every advantage was taken of Colonel ' leeman' tour to fit in every possible place, and that the records show that never before has there been such excellent numbers on parade is a great tribute to the hid ommisSlOner. Special mention must be made of the splendid facilities afforded by the 'outh African Railways and Harbours and the Rhodesian Railways Di trict to enalle their members to parade at the fullest possible strength. This was particularly so in Rhodesia, where all Railway Divisions were mustered for the inspection at Bulawayo, which meant that the total journeying covered by members amounted to some 67,000 miles. On arrival at each town visited, the Chief Commissioner was received by a Guard of Honour of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions; later he was met by a Join t Reception Committee of members of the Association and Brigade and of representatives of the Defence and Police Authorities, also by the local .l\Iayor and representatives of other public bodies. At the inspections the Chief Commissioner was received with the "General Salute " -u sually to music; the individual Divisio ns were inspected and ga\'e various demonstrations of Drill, First Aid and Home I ursin g, tretcher and HandSeat Transport, and Ambulance Drill. At each inspection there was an unusually large attendance of lea ding citizens and representatives of Government and other public bodies. At the conclusion of the parade Colonel Sleeman addressed the Brigade membersfrequently by means of a microphone and amplifying apparatus. The kindly advice and appreciation expressed by the Chief Commissioner at these inspections has given a welcome impetus to the activities of St. John among our voluntary workers. In his address at each gathering Colonel Sleeman invariably referred to the outstanding successes obtained by the South African teams at t~e Centenary Competition in London in 1931, and it is very gratifying to record h1s frequently expressed opinion that all ranks were maintaining that same high standard of efficiency.

THE

T. JOlIN AMnUL\~CE BRIGADE.

" During the course of my drive to ;.1llc1 from St. Paul's Cathedral, I had many opportunities of obscn"ing the manner in which they performed their arduous duties, and I should like thi expression of my admiration to be conveyed to all 'ursing 1Iember. who were on duty on that memorable occasioll." The Royal Air Force Review at 1Iildenhall and DLlxford on the Gth July. The duties on thi occasion were carried out by the Commis ion r of o. X Di trict and included First .\id l~oad Posts on the main roads leading to these aerodromes. The Ilumber of cases dealt with was happily small. The Royal aval H.e,-iew at Purt mouth 011 lhe 1 ltll to IGth Jul \'. This duty was carried out by the County ommissioner for IIampshire, the Brigade personnel being found from that cQunty, augmented b\" No. VIII (Duke of Connaug-ht' ) District. 1,231 cases were (lealt willi. MOTOR The Brigade is fulfIllin g a l ' ational need in the provision AMBULANCE and maintenance of 1Iotor \111 bubnccs. The rcspon. ibility TRANSPORT. and hard work entailed in this sen"ic is borne by the Officers of the "Units concerned, ~md the prompt and efficient manner in which calls are re ponded to, reflects th e great t credit upon the. e Officers, and the members who act a drivers an( 1 attl:l1clants. It IS gratifying to note that in a large number of tOWI1S the entire ambulance service of the town has been entrustccl by the Municipal authorities to the Brigade. 275 Ambulances are operated by Corps <lnd Divisiun . The:, .'\mbula n~e::, carried 122,795 patient, which, compared with H):{ I, 'hO\\'5 an increa ~ l' of 10,453 . The reported mileage is 1,3i2,2 .1G. One of the outstanding features of the WOI k of the Brigade during the pa t year has been lhe c. "tension of the training in Air Raids Precaution duties to member,> in the provinces. ~ \lth ou()"h training in the e duties had preyiou5ly been carried ont in • ' o. I District, it was not po sible to extend the training outside thi area, owing to the absence of any up-to-date textbook on the ubject. In J nne, the Home Office published A.R.P. Handbook 1\'0.2, which contained in tructions for duties in connection with First Aid and Decontamination Stations, which are the dutie the Brigade will carry out in ca. e of a gas attack on this country. \Vithin a fortnight of the pUblication of the Handbook, I assembled in London a. course of instru tion for members suitable to act as In tructors. Since that date three further courses have been held in London, and at this date oyer 1,100 In tructors have been through an intensive course of training, and haye made good progress in training the rank and file. I V,' ish to thank the large number of Officers who went through these cour es of training in London , in many cases at their own expen e. As a proof of the intere t taken in this work I may mention that I had to assemble an extra cour c for qfficers studying this subject, as there were such a large number of applicahons t o attend. This scheme will necessitate a further substantial increase in the trained personnel, to enable the Brigade to fulfil these further obligations, and I have every confidence that special efforts will be made to raise new Divisions where they do not at present exist, and to increase the strength of existing Divisions.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER .

THF ,T. JOR:\" A?lIB{,L\~CE BRIGADE.

In 1923, the Chief Commissioner then holding office stated in his report : " Havin~ in mind it is only just over twelve months since Cadets were introdu ced into the Brigade, and the number of juvenile organizations open to boys and girls, and to the fact that First Aid \vork is not a subjcct which appeals to all juveniles, I think the number of uni ts formed augur well for the future of this new branch of acti vi ty ." It is now gratif ing to record that our Cadet organization is of immense advantage to the work of the Brigade in providing as it does a good recruiting media for the Adult Divisions, and facilities for juveniles inclined towards Ambulance and ursing work to obtain a preliminary knowledge of Fir t id and ur ing and other subjects, which form the curriculum of the Cadet training. ince 1923 the adet strength has increased from 655 to 12,-137. ACCOUN TS . In xamining the accounts of Corps and Divi ions, I have he en \'ery much impre s d by the success which has been attained by those who undertook the thankle s task of raising sufficient hmd' to enahle thc Brigade to carry out its \,york to the public. I am deeply gmt fnl to those who have a sisted in this important section of our organization, and to the Honorary Treasurers and Honorary Auditors for their valuable services. MUNIOI PAL I am again glad to be able to report that in most cities SUPP ORT. and town we are recciving increasing recognition and cncourag ment from Municipal Authorities who usually attend our more important local functions. Throughout the country the Police authoriti look to the Brigade for Fir t Aid assistance where large cro\\'d~ a mble, such demand bein a always met. I am plea d to report that the Pre ha gi,'en the work of the Brigade great r prominence during thc pa t year, particularly in the Provincial pre . Th pa t y ar ha secn increa ed activity in every branch CONC LUSION. of the Brigade' work. From the reports I have received and from what I have seen my 1£, I can confidentially state that all ranks of the Brigade maintain a hiah tandard of efficiency and justify the confidence which the public e.-tend to its work. I am indebted to the Commi ioners of all districts and countie , and their taff, for their mo t valuable co-operation. A great deal of additional work 11a been thrO\\'n on them in connection with the Air Raid Precaution cheme, which they have undertaken with zeal and en rgy. I also wi h to thank the members of the :J1edical and ursing profes ion , who have so generously helped u in our work. \Vithout their help the high standard of efficiency of the Brigade could not have been attained. I mu t finally thank the Officers and Members of the Brigade for the zeal and intere t with which thcy carry out their self-sacrificing duties for the public, which has made the Brigade one of the finest examples of voluntary sen'ice. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient Servant, (Signed) JOHN DUNCA I, lajor-General, Chief Commissioner. CA DETS.

R EPORT OF THE LADY SUPERINTENDENT-I -CHIEF.

Report of the Lady Superintendent=in ... Chi ef. To THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1935 . I t was decided this y ar to try one large camp in tead BRICADE of two smaller one as in previou ear. Ro sall cho01 CAMP. had proved so eminently uitable Ia t year that we held the camp there again. l\1rs. Tweedale once more very kindly undertook the arduous duties of Commandant, and I feel that the Brigade owc~ a great deal to her for the whole-heart d way in \\ hich she entered into everything. There were 156 officer and member in camp and t he organization entailed much work and thought not only during the week of camp but for many weeks be for . There were representatives from practically all di trict in England, from Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Irish Free tate. 1 0 one officer from Brigade Overseas attended. The special feature of the camp was a cour e of in truction in G( s Defence, given by a Sergeant of the Loyal Lancs Regiment, and followed by an examination at the end of the week. There wa al 0 a model hospital ward and operating theatre where the memher recei\Ted daily instruction in nursing work. Instruction in cookery wa available for those who wished to take it. I should like to record my appreciation of the work of "jIr . Twecdale and all those who so kindly helped by giving lectures and practical instruction. CIRL CUIDE Attendance of members at Girl Guide Camp has now CAMPS. become a recognized work for the summer months. This year 82 camps were supplied with members, 71 member undertaking the duty. The difference in the figures is accounted for by the fact that several members undertook duty at two separate camp. One member was supplied for duty at a camp run by the Girl' Life Brigade . We were asked again to supply members for duty at the Camp for boys at Ingham Old Hall from 29th June to 7th eptember, with the exception of one fortnight during that period.

Extract from report received fr om Lady District Superint endent l\Iiss Walker, who succeeded ::\liss B,ideout last June:" The year has bcen a memorable one, owing to the Silver Jubilee Celebrations; duties were unusually numerous and widely extended, but every call was met WIth prompt and ready response, and the work faithfu~y and efiicient~y performed. " The same entbusiasm was shown on the occaSlOn of the weddlllg of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester in November, when again there was an opportunity of employing every available Officer and Ambulance Sister. "I hould like to place on record my appreciation of the spirit of fellowship and co-operation unfailingly sho,,-n by all ranks in the r ursing Divisions, by r eason of which it i pos ible to fulfil every request for duty, both great and sma~l. . " In conclusion I should like to express my thanks to the Lady Dlstnct Officers for thcir generous support and assistance since my appointment in June last."

EXTRACTS FROIl1 REPORTS. OCTHER);" .\.REA.-It is indeed pleasing to look back upon the very loyal and cffiCIent manner in \\hich all Officers and 1lembers of Southern Area have carried out their obligations and duties, during a year of exceptional activity. Organization and administ.ration have functioned smoothly and satisfactorily throughout, discipline has been cxcellent, and no difficulties have impeded the definite progress which ha become characteristic of the rea. The high standard of work, both first aid and drill, is 'well maintained, and the keenness and cnthusiasm evinced during Divisional Inspections and drills is convincing evidcnce that fut.ure undertakings will meet with complete success. I am convinccd, too, that increased skill and care are exhibited in the handling and fut aid treatment of casualties, and that there is a general improvement in smartnes , neatne s, and movement, both on parade and Public Duty. The Area liminating Competitions were held at \ Yimbledon in l\Iarch, but only a fair num ber of Divi Ions were represented, and whilst popularity and enthusiasm left nothing to be desired, one would welcome an extension of the competition spirit 1D the outhern Area. It is hoped that encouragement and propaganda \.vill result in an improvement in the interest shown towards this important branch of our work. EASTER:-I AREA.-Three new Di\-i ions have been registered during the year. Three new ambulances were dedicated, viz.: Grays, Up minster, and Crayford. Two Grand Priors Badges were awarded to the Dagenham Ambulance Cadets, and t.wo to East Ham :Xur ina adets. In July an Alr-H.aid demonstration was held at East Ham. gas attack was reali tically staged in the Lathom Road chool Yard. The school was used as a base and \\'as prepared for Gas .\'ttack, being made gas proof. A number of residents attend cd and were much interested. :'IIembers of ~Jo. ~ Ea t Ham :;.rursing Division attended a three-\\'eeks' camp, and 51 case' \\ crc trea t.cd. \\"ESTER~ "\.RE\.-One new ambulance Section and one Cadet Ambulance and one adet .. Tur ina Division has been registered during the year. All Divisions with the exception of two have been visited by one of my Staff Officers or myself, and I am very pleased to report that the standard of efficiency shown throughout has been of a higher quality than in the previous year. I n addition, the Lady, uperintendent in Chief honoured this Area by inspecting three ursing DIvision, viz. Ken ington, Craig's Court, and y hitehall, in larch, in the hall of the Duke of York's Headquarters, Chelsea. The work of many Divisions in connection with First Aid Stations and 1\Iedical Comforts in tbis Area, has hown a marked increase as an outlet for Divisional enthusiasm during the past year, and in all cases this section of our work has been greatly appreciat.ed by the local authorities. The members of No. 26 (Richmond) Tursing Division, once again, on Christmas Day, offered to take over the whole duty at the R ichmond Royal Hospital, and by so doing releascd the permanent staff, and so enabled the permanen t staff to have the time for their enjoyment of Christmas Day. A number of Divisions have given lTlUch thought to schemes for building their own permanent Headquarters, and plans are now in preparation for buildings at H arrow, Kingston, and \ Vandsworth. ORTHERN AREA.-I have been able personally to visit practically all Divisions in the Area, and also to see all examinations cond ucted for promotion, and find

increased keenness ev rywhere. Officers and on-Commissioned Officers are taking a very close interest in their Units, and the result i a till higher standard in mbulance and ursing Divisions. I cannot speak too highly of the Officers in charge of Cadet Division" and of the Cadets them elves. The work of both is of a very high standard. The Area Field Day held on 22nd June on Hampstead Heath took the form of Gas Practice manceuvres, carried out by Ambulance r ur ing and adct Divisions. Field Dressing tations in the form of tents were erected and staiIed by ursing members, and advanced Dressing tations were staiIed with bearers equipped to collect wounded and gassed cases from gassed areas, to temporarily treat them , and evacuate them to the Field Dres ing Station, where their injuries were more elaborately treated by the ursing taiI. There is no doubt that all units benefited greatly by the practice. CENTRAL AREA.-During the year 11 Service Medals have been awarded by the Order, 30 First,S Second, and 5 Third Bars, to member in Central "\rea. In June, Central Area held their eleventh Annual hurch Parade at 1.. lement's Danes Church, Strand (by the courtesy of the Rector); an Inspec Uon was held after the ervice in the Judges' Quadrangle, the Inspectmg Offtcer being the ecretary-General of the Order, 1ajor-General, ir Percival \\,ilkin son. Owing to the retirement of l.Iiss Rideout, we have suiIered a los by til promotion of our Lady District Officer ::\Iiss A. l\1. Walker to Lady Di triet Supenntendent. ~he has been succeeded by Lady upt. 1Ii s l.Iasson, promoted from -0 2 ~i\'il Service K ursing Division. PUBLIC DUTY OFFICER.-The year just completed has brought the Brigade before the public as never before, owing to the Jubilee elebrations and the marriage of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester and Lady Alice Scott. It is very encouraging to know that all the e duties were carried out to the entire satisfaction of the Commissioner of Police. A pleasing feature of Jubilee Day was the appreciation of the owners of business premises along t.he line of route, many of whom allowed our personnel to use their rooms as dressing stations, and in many cases provided refreshment. I should like to specially mention t.he splendid help we received from the Keeper and taff of the Kahonal Gallery.

The calls made on us by Sports Clubs continues to increase, and I am glad to report that many tokens of appreciation have been received for services rendered . A number of Municipal Authorities have appealed to us to undertake regular duty at their Playing Fields and Open Spaces, and also to be present at treats and teas given to old folks and children. The following are some of the more important duties performed during the year ; British Industries Fair. International Horse Show. Radio Exhibition. Motor Show.

It will be noticed in the figures given at the end of this report that there is a decrease in the number of attendances at race meetings. This is largely accounted for by the number of race days at dog tracks being drastically cut under the new Betting Act. In all other respects there is a marked increase both in attendances and cases treated, the latter being 2,6 3 in excess of last year.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year 1935 . In the County of Berkshire there are now 10 Ambulance Divisions, 4 Nursing Divisions, 3 Cadet Ambulance DivislOns, and 2 Cadet ursing Divisions; the personnel being 325 men, 73 women, 70 boy , and 5 girls, making a total of 526 as compared with 575 in 1934. The decrease is in the men's and boys' divisions, and can be accounted for, to a large extent, by the fact that many members have left their homes to seek employment elsewhere. new Bedford Motor Ambulance was bought by the Hungerford D1Vl ion and has been very useful indeed in that district of the County. Lady Forester came to "'indsor to inspect the local ursing Division, and Lady County Officer ~lrs . Porter inspected the Reading Nursing Division; the visits of these ladies and the interest they took in the work of the 1 urses have been of the greatest assistance. Corps Officer kid more attended the course of instruction in Air Raid Precautions wluch wa held in London, and he subsequently conduct ed classes and demonstrations in the subject for all Ofncers in the county. I have visited all Divisions in the county and am glad to report that they are all in an efficient state. In conclusion I again \\'Ish to thank aU Officers and members of the Brigade in Berkshire for their help during the past year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. G.

Ambulance Divisions. 7 23 Nursing Divisions 3 64 Cadet Ambulance Divisions 1 14 Cadet Nursing Divisions 2 54 370 13 Showing an increase in numbers of 2 since 1934. This increase is largely due to the formation of the three Cadet Divisions. And there is a good prospect of furth er Cadet Divisions being formed in the near future and every effort will be made to encourage the Cadet Movement in the County. In these days of machinery and speed a widespread knowledge of First Aid, efficiently taught, and regularly practised in organized U n its, is essential for t he safety and welfare of the community. The Jubilee Division, Campden, and the two 1 ursing Cadet Divi ions, Cheltenham, made their first appearance in public at the Annual County Inspection at Tewkesbury. Their smart and efficient appearance on parade created a very favourable impression. The newly-formed Coleford Division (Ambulance) is now fumly e tablished, a nd is doing excellent work. During the year the County Officers and myself have personally visited all Divisions on several occasions, and can vouch for the efficiency and enthusiasm of all ranks. Annual COU1J,ty Inspection.-Was held in Tewkesbury on Sunday, 16th June, when more than 500 members attended, including Units from Herefordshire and W orcestershire. The Inspecting Officers were: Dr. W. E. Audland for Ambulance Divisions, a nd Robina Viscountess Mountgarret for Cadet and ursing Divisions . Among the distinguished guests were Viscount Hereford, Colonel Sleeman, Colonel Woolrych Perowne, Mr. Alpheus Williams (South Africa Commandery), the Mayors of Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, the Deputy Mayor of Gloucester, and the Chief Constable of Gloucestershire. The Inspection was followed by a service in the Abbey, conducted by Rev . C. Cousens Petch, Chaplain of the Order; and the address was given by the Rev. J. O. Dean, C.F., of Tewkesbury Abbey. Air Raid Precautions.-With five other Officers I attended the Special Course in London, 23rd and 24th ovember. The training of Brigade members was commenced in earnest at the end of the year.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for 1935, and as no report \\as fonvarded for 1933 and 1934 owing to the illness and death of the late Commissioner, certain figures for those years are also incorporated. I am pleased to report a considerable increase both of Divisions and of Members SlOce the last report, submitted in 1933. Figures show that during 1933 and 1934 there was an increase of 2 Corps, 3 Ambulance, 6 ur ing, and 6 Cadet Divisions, \nth an increase of personnel amounting to 46 . In 1935 there was a further increase of one Corp, one Ambulance Division and one ection was re-established, making a total of 6 Corps, 26 Ambulance Divisions, plus one Section, 21 ursing and 18 Cadet Divi ions, and the following personnel.

to conduct the administration of the Corps and Divisions in the way he did, considering that he sufiered from increasing failure of health for many months before his death. I also regret to inform you of the death of Dr. Lee, Divisional urgeon, Bournemouth Corps, and 1r. Otoway, Ambulance Officer, Lymington Corp . Organization and Administration.- A cting under your sanction I have dividcd thc County into three rea - \"est, East, and outh . The intention is that each area will have its own County Surgeon, County and Lady County Officer, and whcn the necessary appointment are made I feel sure that it will be for the bettermcnt of each area so far as administration and efficiency are concerned. Inspections.-The Annual General In pection and Church ervice was held at outhampton on 23rd June, when over 1,000 were on parade under As istant County ommissioner, l\Iajor l\Iorse. The Nur ing and Cadet ursing Divisions had the honour of being inspected by Lady Perrott, the Lady Superintendent-in- hie£. who afterwards sent me a very favourable report .

The number of non-enicients is small (chiefly due to illness) and the general efficiency is good, as judged from the Annual Reports of Inspecting Officers. Ambulances.-The fleet of ambulances is small but gradually increasing. vVinchester Ambulance Division runs two, Calm ore "ursing Divi ion one, Lymington Division has a new one acquired through the exertions and influence of Corps Supt. Captain Coghlan, and last year the l\Iayor and inhabitants of ew l\Iilton presented one to ~ew Milton Ambulance Division . In addition two Ambulances owned by Bournemouth Centre S.J .A.A., and lv-:o Ambulances owned by Farnborough Urban D.C., are staffed by Officers and members of the local Divisions. During the year, 3,103 cases have been removed, with a mileage of 25,522, and 405 road accidents were treated and removed to hospital, with a mileage of 1,943. Public Duties have been performed consistently throughout the year, amounting to 13,762, at the different Jubilee Celebrations, Fetes, Annual Shows, at First Aid Posts, etc., 8,110 cases having been treated. (a) By far the most important Public Duty was attendance at thc Royal aval Review by his late Majesty King George V, in July, 1935. First Aid Posts were established at all danger spots, indicated by the Chief Constable of Hampshire, on all roads radiating from Portsmouth and Gosport, and Dressing Stations and posts at Alverstoke and Lee-on-Solent, while Dressing Stations were established along the sea-front at Southsea where indicated by the Chief Constable of Portsmouth. The

Brigade was thercfore on duty for 10 miles of sea-front from Eastney to Lee-onSolent. Those stations and posts were staffed from 13th July till well after midnight 16th July. During the Royal progress throu gh the City of Portsmouth on the 15th, 18 Dressing Stations were established along the 7-mile route, staffed by personnel and ambulances, temporarily withdrawn from the esplanades. Assistance in the form of personnel and Ambulances offered by the District Commissioner o. VIII District was gladly accepted. Assistance was also offered by the County Commissioner, Dorset, but save for a few men was not required. I inspected Dressing Stations and posts at intervals and noted a high degree of cheerful efficiency, notwithstanding difficulties met with in the form of intense heat, difficult commissariat arrangements, and the huge crowds that had rushed into the Portsmouth and Gosport areas. I would bring before your notice the names of the following officers who gave the greatest possible assistance both before and during this Public Duty: Hants, County Officer Major Chappell, Lady County Officer Mrs. Hayes, Corps Superintendents Rand and Thomas, and Divisional Superintendent Francis (temporary Staff Officers).

(c) Beach Huts.-Th~ sta~ng of those along the Hampshire littoral is a very Important part of Publlc Duhes. Those huts were staffed by the "ursina Divisions of, Port mouth, Gospor~,. ~nd Bournemouth Corps, and a hut was ~taffed by \'oo.ls~on Ambulance DlvlslOn, 4,457 cases were attended to in 1935. The greatest cred It I d~e to those members who so .ungrudgingly perform this Public Duty. y). ledical omiort Depots establlshed and run by many of the Nursing DIvlslOn are of the g.reatest benefit to the poor in their respective localities. (e) Blood TyansfllstOn.-A regular blood transfusion service exists in several of the Division .. COllnty CO?lference.-In ovember the first County Conference was held at Sou thampton when matters of organization, administration, and finance were dIsc:u~sed . All officers were asked to at~end, and the County Staff, all Corps and DlvlslOn were represented, 9,* Officers bemg present. I consider that this conference was of. t.he greatest value. It will certainly be repeated. Dw~slOnal Ca/JIp.-In ugust the Romsey mbulance Division under Surgeon and Divisional Superintendent Dr. Lalonde, who made all arrangem~nts, went under canvas for a long week-end. I inspected the camp and found the site and tents clean ~nd orderly. A considerable amount of useful work was done up till 1 p.m. After ~ p.m. the members were off duty. Camps of this nature are extremely useful and rlllght be copied by other Divisions with advantage. ' C:adets.-I .consider tha~ the Cadet Divisions are a great asset to the County Br~gade, and m several a hIgh level of efficiency is maintained. That fourteen Grand ~nor.'s Badges, 7 to harminster Cadet ursing Division and 7 to Southsea Cadet ursm.g Division, should have been awarded during the year, and that also two Charmmster Cadets have qualified, speaks not only for the intelligence and keenness of the Cadets, but also for the devotion of the Cadet Superintendents and Officers to whom I owe .a debt of grati~ude. Our great difficulty is the deficiency of finance. . A .R.P.-l\laJor Morse ASSIstant County Commissioner attended a course of mstruction at ' to John's Gate in July and the full complement of Officers allowed attended subsequent c~urses i~ town. Major lorse, A.R.P.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIO. ER, ST. JOHN A 1BULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st Decembe r, 1935. The total strength of the Brigade in the County is : Units. Strell{?th. Ambulance Divisions 10 269 ursing Divisions . 2 41 Cadet Ambulance Divisions 1 17 Cadet Nursing Divisions 2 47 37.t. One new Ambulance Division has been formed, and the total strength has beeD slightly increased. The Annual Inspection of all the Divisions of the County was held on 10th July on the playing fields of 'W orcester College, the Provost of the College having kindly given his permission. The Chief Commissioner was the Inspecting Officer. At the end of the Inspection he took the salute at the March Past, after expressing his pleasure at being present, and his satisfaction in all that he had seen. Led by the band all the units on parade then marched to Gloucester Green where the Chief Commissioner opened the new Headquarters of the Oxford Corps most kindly provided by the City Corporation. The Rev. Dr. Jenkins, Canon of hrist Church and Chaplain of the Order of St. John, dedicated the building for the service of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Oxford . The Chief Commissioner then addressed the assembly and said that it gave him great pleasure to come to Oxford, and particularly to have the opportunity of opening that very fine hall. He complimented the Corporation of the City of Oxford on their public spirited act in placing such a fine building at the disposal of the Brigade. In February, Lady Furley, Dame Grand Cross of the Order, presented a very handsome SO guinea silver cup in memory of her husband, Sir John Furley, to the County District, to be competed for annually by the Divisions. It is a work of great artistic beauty; and will be of great service in encouraging the work of the Corps. 1-

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the County of Somerset for the year ended 31 t December, 1935. The total strength of the Brigade on that date was : Divisions. 11lembers. Ambulance 1 601 ursing 4 111 County Staff 6

22 718 Being a net increase of two Ambulance and one Nursing Division, and 153 members. InspectiO'Tls.--.All Di\'isions were Inspected by myself during the year, reports of whIch are bemg forwarded with records. CompetitlOl2s.-:-Th~ Somerset County ~mbulance and Nursing Competitions were held at Hl~hb.ndge on 2n~ March. FIve Ambulance and three Nursing teams competed, the wmlllng teams bemg vVeston-super-l\Iare No.1 ursing, and Minehead .\m.b~ lance. ~oth teams later competed at Reading,. in the No.2 District CompetJb~ns.. I w1sh to record my sincere thanks to the Surgeons, who gave so much of :~1elr hn:e ~o . underta.ke the judging, to Lady County Officer, L. Lovill for giving ag"m ~he lI~dl\' ldual I?nzes, to Am~:)Ulance. teams, to Superintendent F. A.

A. vVevell for actina again as County Competition Secretary. It IS WIth smcere regret I have to record the death of Edward L. Bath, 12.7.35,

THE ST. J OHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

Bath City Police Division, Corporal Thomas l\Iountfort of the Weston-super-l\Iare Division, Private Phillip Williams, "Worle Division, and torekeeper 1\1rs. E. Salmond of the Minehead ursing Division. The former had just joined the Brigade with the newly formed Police Division, but the other three mem.bers had given several years service to the Brigade, and their personal services will be greatly missed, Mrs. Salmonds death was caused while on Brigade service, contracting a germ, while nursing. County Conference.-On Sunday, 14th April, at the Town Hall, \Veston-superl\Iare, we held our Fifth County Conference of Officers of the Divi ions Ambulance and ursing. This was well attended. l\Iany important Brigade matters were debated, inspections, re-examinations, and competition dates were fixed, also final arrangements for County Rally decided. These conference, are becoming 0 popular with the Officers, that I have been asked to arrange two such meetings instead of one each year. I would like to see these meetings extended to di tricts at an early date, as I feel it gives Officers a chance to debate generally on the work of the Brigade, and therefore make matters more easy for those in charge of admini tration, and 0 much to do behind the scenes, and \,"ould no doubt prepare many to become efficient and ready to take higher office when vacancies arise . COU?1ty Rally.-On unday, 23rd June, we held at BridGwater, our first r ally of Divisions of the County. It was a huge ucce s, and wa attended by nearly 400 Officers and members from all Divisions in the ounty, reports of \\ hich ha \ e been forwarded and a page given to same (241) in the Augu t is ue of the St. ] oIl/! Ambulance Gazette. \ Ve hope to make this an annual event. Ambulances.-Sixteen ambulances are being run by the Divi ions in the Coun ty, and I have not heard of a single case as yet 'w here they have failed to answer t he call made for their service. During the year 2,455 invalids have been com·eyed, mileage for same 34,523, and HI road accidents attended, 3,090 mIles being covered. l\Iembers have rendered first aid to 5,847 cases. In conclusion, I say to those Officers and members who have helped me during the past year (very sincerely), THANK YOU; and to those who might have clone more, if not prevented by business or other troubles, I shall apprecIate all your help during the year 1936, it would be quite impos ible to carryon without your devotion to duty; and to those who give that valued help, I promise that wh en the proper time arrives, I shall not hesitate to forward your name for some suitable " Reward for service ". I have the honour, Sir, To remain yours obediently, JOHN S. ox, Commissioner for ' omerset .

COU TY OF \VILT HIRE. c/o \V. D. & H. O. WILLS, OLBOURNE STREET, SWINDON . 11th F eb}'llary , 1936 . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, LONDON. SIR,

I have the honour to present my report for the year ended 31st December, 1935. All Divisions have been inspected by me in company with my ounty Officer, and we are pleased to report that we found them to be highly efficient. The windon Nursing Division was also inspected by Lady District Officer 1\lrs . Porter on behalf of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, and she sent in a very eulogistic report on them . The preliminary round competitions for the" Oxo" Cup were held at Box on 6th April and teams from all the Divisions entered. The general public were admitted to see the test case and were very interested in all that went on. Swindon won the competition and represented \~'iltshire at Reading on 18th May. The Air Raid Precautions scheme has been taken up very enthusiastically, a nd one of my Divisional Surgeons, four Officers, and myself attended the Officers' Courses in London and are now all qualified instructors. The work of training t he Divisions for their A.R.P. certificates is proceeding.

No. II

D ISTRICT.

The two Swindon Divisions have again done a great deal of Sick Nursing as is shown by the accompanying sheet and their services are very much in demand. The Medical Com.forts Depot started in Swindon has been a great success and is extensively patronized. The funds for this are obtained by means of an Annual Concert which is very well patronized by the public and has enabled the Divisions to provide a very complete stock of all articles. Though I regret that I cannot report any increase in Divisions, the work is going on quietly and efficiently throughout the County, the various Railway Classes doing very good work in each of the smaller towns. It is regretted that they cannot yet see their way clear to enroll as Divisions of the Brigade. In conclusion I should like to pay tribute to my County Officer and the Divisional Surgeons and Officers for the very efficient way they have carried out their duties which is reflected in the smartness and ability of the various Divisions. The name of the St. ] ohn Ambulance Brigade has never stood higher than it does to-day, in \\"iltshire, and this has been brought about by the untiring efforts of the Divisions to merit the confidence that the public place in them. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. R. TOWERZEY, County Commissioner for \\,iltshire .

REPORT OF THE COUXTY

CO~DIISSIO ... -ER.

COUNTY OF LEICESTER. 158

SHBY ROAD, LOUGHBOROUGH. 19th Februavy, 1936.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. Sm, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1935. The total strength of the Brigade in the County at the 31st December, was 1,497, being an increase of 61 on last year's figures, which proves that the work is being steadily extended . The following new Ambulance Divisions have been registered : The British United Shoe Machinery Co., Ltd. Narborough Division- from Section. Barwell Division- from Section. Co-operative Cadet Division. Church Parades.-Many Church Parades have been held and I feel sure they will grow in popularity each year. Apart from their religious and sacred character, they a r e invaluable as a means of bringing the Brigade to the notice of the public, who appear to find consider able pleasure in watching these turnouts.

(EASTERN) DI STRICT.

Inspections.-I inspected the orth Leicestershire Units on 23rd June, in the O'rounds of Rutland Hall, by kind permission of the Loughborough College Governors, ~'hen 257 Officers, Men, and Nurses were present. It was an excellent turnout in every respect. I was accompanied by Lady County Officers Miss G. E. Partridge and :\lrs. J. V. IIeseltine, and County Officers Captain C. R. Knighton and A. E. Atkins. The l\layor and ?llayoress of Loughborough, Officials of the Loughborough Centre, Go ernors and Officials of the College, and many other prominent people were present, and afterwards they all took tea with the members in the College Dining Hall. On the occa ion of the Inspection of the Leicester Corps on 20th July we were honoured by the attendance of the Assistant-Surgeon-in-Chief, Dr. . Corbett Fletcher, "I.B., B.C., M.A., l\I.R.C.S. This inspection was held in the City Tramways Bus Station, by courtesy of the General ::'IIanager. 550 Officers and ranks were on parade. ':-'Iy ounty Officers were also present and we ~ad with us <7lso the Right Worshipful the Lord l\Iayor and Lady ~Iayoress of Leicester. In Jus address the Inspecting Officer referred to the smart and business-like appearance of everyone, and hi' criticisms and advice 'were appreciated. The remaIning Divi ions in the County were inspected individually. PubliC VlltlcS have been carried out to an enormous extent. ' Ve find to-day that the pu blic expects, although they do not actually demand, the Brigade to organize effiCient Fir t .\id arrangements to meet emergencies on all occasions where large gclthenngs arc expected. ~ Road Patlol is qUietly and unostentatiously performed during the summer months. It is a duty,' hich undoubtedly involves the sacrifice of leisure time at week-ends and hohdays by the men and women who carry it on, but at the same time it offers them many opportunities for bringing to practical effect the knowledge and skill thev have so con cientiously acquired. i'rallsport of the Ick and Injllred.-I have again to report an increase in this very "aluable sen'ice. The number of patients conveyed by the thirteen ambulances amounted to 9,23-, invoh'ing a mileaae of 79,125. The yearly increase in the number of accidents makes a heavy demand on the ambulances, and in addition, calls for greater skilled First Aid and additional equipment. The care given to patients dunng their journeys and the skilled administration of First Aid to accident cases before entering the ambulances ha,'e earned a high reputation locally. CompltlllollS I am pleased to report that more interest has been taken during the year in the J\nnual Competition organized by the Brigade and Association. In the District H.ound at Northampton for the Dewar and Perrott Shields the County \\'a' represented by tcams from the Loughborough Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, and both teams put up a very creditable performance. S{'I'vicc _1 wards. cventeen members qualified for the Service ::'IIedal; sixteen received their Fm;t Bars; three received their econd Bars; and four gained their Third Bars. Allllllal Retllms. On the whole the Returns for 1935 were received in good time and order, but I regret to say there are still one or two Divisions who are very lax in attending to this important part of their work, and I do appeal to the Superintendents to co-operate with their secretaries in an endeavour to have their Returns ready for di. patch by the required date. It is very disappointing to have the whole Heturns delayed because of one or two delinquents. J!elitol'iOIlS First Aiel Celtilicate for specially good First Aid has been awarded to Private G. R. 'eare of the Belgrave Division, and Private Cooper of the L.I .E .R. Di\'i ion has received pecial mention. Blood Donol's.-Twenty-seven Members of the Leicester Ambulance Corps have been accepted as Blood Donors to the Leicester Royal Infirmary and Private Hospital, and forty-five blood transfu ions have already been given. General. It gives me pleasure to be able to report a very cordial relationship with the Police and other authorities in the various areas, which is tangibly expressed by generou financial and other assistance. In concluding I wish to express my gratitude to my County Staff, Divisional Surgeons, and all Ranks for their unfailing devotion to the cau se, always with one thought-Service before Self. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEO . F. BROWNE, County Commissioner for Leicestershire.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year 1935 for the Counties of orthampton and Huntingdon. Since my report for 1934 there has been a slight decrease in the total strength of the 66 Divisions comprising the orthampton hire nit; this is not surprising owing to the unusual increase in the previous (1934) year's numbers.

Inspection .-A combined Annual In pection of all

orps in the aunly \\ as held at Peterborough on 30th June . The r.larquess of Exeter had a ccepted an invitation to inspect the unit but owing to ill health he was unable to do o . He very kindly asked Lord Burghley to deputize for him. The number on Parade was 1,032. This completes the fourth Combined In 'pect ion during the last four years, one having been held in each of the four orps Area . Public Services.-There has again been an increase of applications for rem ovals by Ambulance. The Ambulances were inspected at Peterborough and found t o he in efficient order. The 'Verrington Division has purchased a new Ambulance w hich is commencing its duties on 1st January, 1936 . District Competitions -The District ompetitions for the Dewar and Perrott Shields were held at the Town Hall, Torthampton, on 13th April. This accounted for an increase in expenditure of the County Fund . Two Officers' meetings were held at Headquarters during the year. I find these occasions are very helpful to obtain first hand information from the various Corps and to eliminate possible causes of friction and complaints. The new steel works at Stewarts and Lloyds, Ltd., at orby, are now employing large numbers of men and they have an Ambulance Room in lhe works with b yo beds; also a urse constantly employed. They are starting classes in First Aid and I am taking steps to form a new Division in connection 'w ith the Brigade. A Jubilee Iedal was awarded to Corps Superintendent 'V. Dyson for hi very special services over a large number of years, having personally removed over 6,000 cases by Ambulance. A large amount of extra ,",ork has been entailed in organizing for the intensive Gas Courses held in London; every vacancy allotted to this Unit has been filled. I have appointed Corps Surgeon, Major G. F. P. Gibbons, O.B.E., M.B., B.S., M.R .C.S., L.R.C.P., to be A.R.P. Officer for Norlhants, who has kindly consented to organize the Anti-Gas Courses for the whole personnel. I must express my most grateful thanks to all Officers and other ranks who h ave loyally assisted me during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, LESLIE W. DRYLAND, County Commissioner. Commander of the Order of St. John .

DZlties.-lIany increased demands on our strength were made for these and they have all been m et and the duties carried out satisfactorily. Cases. -Those treated by members on duty or privately numbered 30,3~8 . These included many cases treated in First Aid rooms in factories and \\'orkshops. Jlotor rIlI/bulan ce DlIties .- This work ha again increased and we have furnished Xur ing; and l\ mbulance personnel for the Ambulances of the Birmingham Ho pitals Contributory Association. There is need for more orderlies to undertake this duty but trade beinD" so good in this Area and the demands for duty being largely concentrated in the late forenoon and early afternoon make it difficult to supply as many as are desired between those hours and more whole time men have had to be engaged by the Contributory Association. As regards nurses we have been more succes ful and I should like here to pay tribute to the devoted and enthu iastic work put in by the Nursing Divisions who have carried out 4,923 duties during the year, many of these being of nine hours duration. Hospital and Clinic Duties.-These have been carried out satisfactorily and total 1,389 for the year. They are of great value to our nursing personnel and prepare them for V.A.D. duties and Ambulance emergencies in a very practical way.

Corps Inspections.-Each Corps has been inspected by myself and the Assistant ounty Commissioner and the County tail. The increased smartness of the men on parade is very marked and is largely due to the efforts of theAssistant Commissioner who has given most valuable service in this direction . Flag Day.-This was again organized by County Officers Elliott and Kingsnorth and the County Staff who achieved a very substantial success. Chuych Parades.-The County Church Parade was held, by kind permi sion of Canon Guy Rogers, Rector of Birmingham, at the Parish Church and the hurch \\'as filled to overflowing. The collection was sent to the Hospital of the Order III Jerusalem. Annual Inspection.-This took place once again in the grounds of the "C'niversity at Bournbrook by kind permission of the enate. Dr. orbett Fletcher was the Inspecting Officer for the Ambulance Divisions and Lady Forester for the Tursing Divisions. Brigade CoI01t1's.-Very handsome colours were presented to the Birmingham County by Assistant Commissioner Colonel B. J. T. Ford. The Lord Bishop of Birmingham, the Right Rev. Dr. E. Barnes, dedicated them to the en'ice of the Order in the Parish Church. The ervice \"as a most impressive one and WIll be remembered as an inspiration to the work of the Order by all those \\ ho were privileged to be present. "Mrs. Ford presented a beautiful case for the Colours \\ hich are kept in the board-room of our Headquarters. I should like here to record my personal thanks to Colonel B. J. T. Ford for the great trouble he took 10 making the Service and Ceremonial correct in every detail. Headquarters.-These have been well maintained and painted outside during the year. The oilheating whilst clean and convenient is proving so expensive that we are seriously considering the substitution of some form of coke heating as an economy. A .R .P. work has been commenced and we hope t.o continue with it more intensely during the coming year. Death.-I regret to record the passing of County Officer C . .I. T • .c.hlner during the year. 1\1r. Milner was Corps Superintendent during the Great \Yar, and rendered loyal and efficient service to the Order during that time, and is remembered WIth affectation by all who 'were privileged to work under him. Thanks.-In conclusion I wish to record my sincere thanks to my .\ SSlstant County Commissioner and to my County Staff for their continued help at all times which I much appreciate. The thanks of the County are also due to the urgeons for their valuable help and to all Officers and members who have shown loyalty and devotlOn to dut.y.

Road Patrols.-This is a branch of Brigade service which is expanding very considerably, year by year, and 1935 has \\itnessed a further considerable increase in this very important branch of our work. Yery considerable sacrifices are made by the men and women of the Brigade in carrying out this duty, during week-ends and holiday periods. Public Duties.-Here again the same remarks apply, as each year sees the number of duties increased, and fresh calls being made upon the personnel, who e keenness and enthusiasm are equal to any demands. A list of duties performed during 1935 by the Units of this District would show that practically no public assemblage of any magnitude in Lancashire is left unattended by the Brigade. The following are a few of the larger repre entative duties : 1"1;1 ancliestel' and Salford Corps.-The \\Thit.suntide Processions in ~rancheter always place a special demand upon the Corps, and 1935 proved no exception, as 533 cases were treated in two days, of whom 11 were of a serious nature. The Corps st aff a permanent Dressing Station in Belle Vue Gardens, l\Ianchester, and on 22nd June, the Independ ent Order of H.echabites held a pageant in these Gardens at which some 90,000 persons were present, from all parts of the British Isles. Such a gathering placed a great strain upon the Corps, and many members performed fifteen hours of continuous duty.

Foothall ).]atches.- asualties and illnesses are frequent amongst the large crowds attending the big football matches at Liverpool, ::'lanchester, Bolton, Bury, Preston, and other large centres, and during the season duty at these matches forms an important pari of the Corps and Divisions in these cities and towns.

Two Units of the Corps, Equitable Ambulance and entral ursmg Dl\'] lOns, were formed in the year 18 5, and so celebrated their 50th year of service undcr the Order. Colonel Trimble's speech at the Inspection r eferred to this good public sen·ice, and the fact that Oldham possesses two of the senior Divisions of the Brigade in England. . . . Generally, these combined Inspections and Reviews havc a good flect m th c~.t they encourage co-operation amongst th e I?ivisions, and. aiIord th? gene.ral p~bllC an opportunity of seeing something of the hnes upon which the Bngade IS trallled .

Under the guidanc~ of District Officer l\Iajor ),Iackenzie the local Diyi ions hayc worked hard for many years in order to provide a Headquarters, and the result of their thought and effort is worthy of the Brigade . Sunday, 3rd 1 ovember, 'witnessed the opening of Lytham t . nnes new Headquarters by the Right Hon. Lord l\Ionson in the presence of a large company, representative of the Brigade and civic aut~orities. .. . The Lytham St. Annes Divisions have acqUlred a very fine and capacIOus bUlldlllg, made suitable as a Brigade Headquarters by the hard work of the "\mbulance and Nursing Division members. . . . ... The acquisition of this hall is due to the efforts and lllspiration of Lady DlVISlonal Superintendent Miss H. -1.

This District has suffered a grievous loss by the recent death of Assistant Commissioner F. E. de B. Pim, who was one of its founders and builders, and who gave, for over half a century, a devotion and service to the work of the Order that has left a mark that will not be effaced. The retirement of District Officer J. H. Cleal, owing to ill-health, is a matter for great regret, as his fine and conscientious service was deeply appreciated by all who were brought in contact with him. In tendering my very grateful thanks to the members of my District Staff I feel that I am voicing the feeling of all ranks when I express the opinion that no portion of the Brigade ha more devoted servants of the Order than the ladies and gentlemen comprising the Staff of ... o. 4 (Lancashire) District. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, \V. G. SMITH. Commissioner, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

Total 67 666 906 1,572 This shows an increase of two Detachments with 60 l\Iobile memb rs. ne other d etachment is in progress of formation. I have the honour t.o be, ir, Your obedient servant, E. 1\. T\\,EEDALE. Air Raid PI'ecautions.-The subject of Air Raid Precautions has been t.aken up with characteristic keenness and enthusiasm in this District, and a considerable number of Officers have received certificates as In truct.ors, and arc now holding classes of instruction for the rank and file in various parts of the Count.y. General.-Lancashire is still under the shadow of industrial depr ssion and the work of the Brigade is restricted in many ways by the question of finance. In spite of this handicap, the spirit of service is as good as ever, and there is a general increase in the standard of efficiency. A widening recognition of the duties undertaken by the members of the Brigade is helping this spirit, and tending to inculcate a feeling that the \vork performed is valued and esteemed by the community in general. There is a general desire amongst all ranks to maintain and enhance the high standard of the Bligade both of conduct and dut.y.

SIR,

CHESHIRE. 12, T. PETER'S SQUARE, STOCKPORT. 25th rlPyil, 1936. THE CHIEF COM::\lISSIONER, ST. J OH:-< A::\IBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have pleasure in submitting to you my annual report for 1935. I have forwarded under separat.e cover the returns for the year ended 31st December, 1935, as per Ii is aUached thereto. ThiS year each unit held its Annual Inspection at its own Headquarters, and in addition was visit.ed periodically during drill nights by a County Officer, to enable me to find out t.he conditions under which each unit was working, and to improve them where practicable. Great improvement. has been made and I intend to follow the same procedure this year. I find t.hat by this method a more thorough Annual Inspection can be made. l~oad Patrols have been established throughout the County and are doing most valuable \\'ork, especially in the traffic rush at week-ends. These are also visited by a County OffIcer. .\ new Corp has been formed at Port Sunlight and a new Ambulance Division of the Birkenhead l{ailway Employees. I'urther Divisions, both Ambulance and • 'urs1I1g, are in progress of formation. In presenting t.he report of Lady District Superintendent :\Irs. Tweedale, C.B.E., A R.R.C., J.P., I deSire to record my grateful thanks for the work she has done for the \'.A.D. over so long a penod. BROOKLA DS, ROCHDALE. 6th rlpril, 1936. LIEUT.-COL. 'vV.

(D.D.~I.S., \ estern Command), on behalf of the \Var Office, and Colonel C. D. Leyland Orton, T.D. (R.A.::\LC.) (Count.y Controller), on behalf of the Joint Council. Previous to the Inspection they were welcomed by the Mayor of Stockport (Alderman John Coupe). . On arrival they were received with a general Salute, followed by Inspection in lme, and March Past. A hospital ward was arranged with a trained Sister in charge, also a very good decontamination centre, and gas proof room. A First Aid J.: ursing Station and a good display of Cookery.

Members from the various units were detailed for work in the \Vard, Dressing Station, and Decontamination Centre. Others worked in the large hall, treating individual cases. Previous to the Inspection a Competition in First Aid and Home ursing was held, the judges being Dr. Gladys Wilkinson and Dr. Hibbert. The result was as follows : First Aid, for" The Barni h Cup: (1) Port Sunlight; (2) Birkenhe.ad. Home Jursing, for " Colonel Cahill" County Controllers Cup: (1) Blrkenhead ; (2) Chester. . The trophies were presented by Colonel Johnson, D.S.O ., who expressed hlmself as well pleased \\'ith the work he had seen. Forty woman are in possession of Air Raid Precaution Ce.rtificates, one a ~rade I Instructor' s Certificate, and sixteen also in po session of Chemlcal \ arfare Certificates.

The work generally has been well maintained and there i ' a keen desire by all Units to obtain a general improvement.

The total strength including the County Staff of five is 517, being a decrease of 26 on the preceding year, all of which occurs in the Ambulance Divisions. The~e is a slight decrease in the members of the ursing Divisions in Cumberland, but thIS

is more than balanced by the increase of such in Westmorland. Ambulance Cadets have increased by three and ursing Cadets diminished by four. Considering that a number of the Cumberland Divisions are situated in one of the depressed areas, it is much to the credit of the Superintendents that they have been able to avert a much greater loss in their personnel than has occurred; lack of employment is most demoralizing, for where attempts have been made to give lDstruction in ambulance work, there has been no response whatever. ITO new Divi ions have been established. The scheme initiated in 1934 to overcome the lack of supervision of Divisions on account of geographical positions appears to have worked well, allowing a Staff Officer to be in closer touch with all the work that is being carried on; I am grateful to my Staff for all the work they have been able to supervise. There has been nothing spectacular to report but the general trend of the work has been to ensure a high standard of efficiency. l\:eswick Divi ion has made a new departure in providing First Aid boxes in the mountainous regions surrounding them, so that any climber meeting with an accident is able to be suitably dealt with much earlier than would otherwise be the case; this work deserves pecial commendation. \Yindermere is the only Division that has its o\\'n motor ambulance, but the vario us other ambulances owned by Local Authorities or Organizations are largely stafIed by members of the local Divisions; no less than 20,000 miles have been run under such conditions. :'Ilore than 2,300 cases have been attended and the Tursing D1Vlsions have put in nearly 200 attendances at Hospital and Clinics. • Tursing Divisions supply 37 Y .A .D. members of which three are Mobile and the West umberland Divisions of Arlecdon and Frizington, Cleator 1\1oor, \Vhitehaven contribute 41 members to the ::\I.H.H.. It is not surprising that under the present conditions attaching to membership of the Y .. \.D .s there are so few who care to join, but I have no doubt that if ever there was a national call for such workers there would be an immediate response.

The Return from the Ambulance Divisions again show a considerable number of members marked "Left the district". In view, however, of the improving industrial conditions the loss in this respect will from now, I hope, be checked. The outstanding event of the year was the Review carried out by the Chief Commissioner, l,Iajor-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., on the 20th July at the Go forth Park Race Course amid ideal surroundings. The Parade -under the ommand of the County ommissioner, with County Officer G. R. Curry.::\1. .::\1. Second in Command; County Officer H. S. Crace, Adjutant; and Lady County Offi. er ::\Iiss Batey, A.R.R.C., in charge of the Xursing Divisionsnumbered nearly 3,000 Officers and other ranks of Ambulance, Nursing, and Cadet Divisions. It \\a witne ed by a large number of vi itors including the Sheriff of Newcastle-upon-Tyne c\lderman Gilbert Oliver-who represented the Lord ::\Iayor in his unavoidable absence. ::\Iy thank are due to the Superintendent of the Northumberland and Durham }<ire l~escue Brigade aptain F. P. ::\Iills, and his second in command, Station Officer Johnson for their co-operation with the Ashington Coal Company Corps in staging an explo ion in the workings of a mine and demonstrating the use of modern re cue apparat.us; also to the Directors of the Ashington Coal Company for the loan of a considerable quantity of material. The demonst.rations proved intensely interesting to the large audience, as did also an Improvised Field Ho pital under the direction of Lady Divisional Superintendent ::\Iis \\' hitford and Lady Ambulance Officer Miss Joyce. The visit of the hief Commis ioner and his appreciation of the smartness of the Parade, and the int.erest and value of the demonstrations were very highly valued, and have given much encouragement to all ranks. The H.oyal c\.gncultural Show held its Annual Show in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in July when public duty over a period of ten days and nights was undertaken and 257 cases dealt with. This. in addition to the TOvvn )'Ioor Festival-now the largest fair of it kmu m the 'nit.ed Kingdom-when ten days and nights duty was undertaken and 520 ca es dealt with-made the year more than usually busy in Public Dut.y.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

It is a matter of keen regret that we have, during the year, lost the very valuable services of Lady County Officer Miss Batey, A.R.R.C., who left in October for her marriage in South Africa. I have since learned with much pleasure that the services of this keen, experienced Officer are being utilized in the Joha nnesburg area, where she has taken up residence, and where I feel ure she will prove an asset to the work of the Brigade. To Officers of the County Staff, Corps, and Divisional Officers, and to all other rank who have so faithfully co-operated to maintain and extend the services of the Brigade in this area, I tender my most grateful thanks. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, STANLEY EMBLETON, County Commissioner for orthumberland and Durham, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of J eru salem.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1935 . The strength of the Brigade in the County Area was as follows : 10 mbulance Divisions and 1 Section (unattached) 523 6 Nursing Divisions . 114 17 Cadet Nursing Division

of some 69 men in a large Works Division due i.o the termination of the work on ·which they were employed. It is satisfactory to note that two new ursing Divisions have been enrolled since the last report . The tenth .R<;>ad ~u.t .in the .area was opened at Croft pa by i.he Darlington Fnendly oClebes DlvlslOn dunng the summer, and some eight road cases have been attended there. In all, 159 road cases have been treated and the mileage for removals was 1,034. The four motor ambulances removed 929 cases, with a mileage of 8, 0-1, in addibon to the road cases referred to above. The Eston Division Ambulance alone travelled over 6,100 miles. The work of the Great Ayton Ambulance is largely financed by small annual subscriptior:s collected frol? the householders in the neighbouring villages on the understandmg that subscnbers can claim the services of the ambulance for themselves or their families without furth er charge. The system works very \yell provided that the collection of fees is well organized. The members of the 1\Iiddlesbrough Central Ambulance Division put in 140 atten?an~e~ ~t a local Infirmary for the preparation of patient for operation. This DlvlslOn was successful in winning the Dist.rict 'ilver Shield In t.he annual competitions, and had the honour of representing the District (i\o. 6) in the Dewar Shield Competition. In this event they were placed tenth. Steady work in A.R.P. instruction has been carried on in several unit durin fY the year, and six Officers had the privilege of attending one or ot.her of the specIal courses in London. For th~ first time since ~he North R~ding became a County Area, a County H.eview was held m June last. Owmg to the wIde area that the Riding covers, ome Di\'i-;ion5 being nearly 70 miles apart with inadequate transport facilities, it. \\as nol pos "lblc to have more than eleven Divisions repre ented, but the Parade Stale sho\\ ed t.hat 23-1 members were present.

IR, I have the honour t.o present to you the report for the County of . alop for the rea r 1 3S . I mu t fir ·t put on record the very great loss we have suffered through the long a bsence of our Commi ioner, who has been ill during the greater part of the year, an d who, in consequence, has not been able to take any active part in the activities of the Bngade. Durin rr the few years he has been in control the whole District has shown an increase in ent.hu ia m, and all the Officers and Rank and File greatly mi shim. \Ve all t.rust that. he will soon be restored to health. During the year under review the numbers of the Brigade in Salop have steadily increased , and t.he st.rength at the end of the year was as follows : Officer and ~len 218 Lady Officers and .I. ursing Sisters 107 Boy Cadets 49 irl adets 3.J: Total 408 an increa e of .J: 1. The increase is most marked among the Cadets. Xursing i ters of all Divisions showed their keenness by making every use of opportunitie to attend Hospital and other linics, and I cannot express sufficiently ?ur thanks to those authorities who enabled members of the Brigade to get experience ~n handling" live " pat.ient as a aluable change from the healthy" sufferers" 10 Competition work. The ' hropshire Horticultural Society, the 'West r.Iidland Agricultural Society, the Committees of the hrewsbury Carnival, and of the Jubilee Celebrations all asked us to staff Fir t Aid posts, and at the first especially there is always a continual flow of casualties, ometimes amountin a to over 200 in the two days of the Show. In addition, every Division has, during the year, maintained First Aid posts at local flower shows, races, football matches, or cinemas. The increase in roadside duties during the week-ends and Bank Holidays is marked , and there is never a lack of volunteers . . There is an increase in enthusiasm among the Cadet Divisions, which is parh~u~a.rly gratifying, as they are the training and recruiting grounds for the adult D1VlslOns. The two Ambulances staffed by the Brigade in the county did good work, and showed an increase in the number of patients carried. All units were in pected during the year, some by the Commissioner, and others by me or other responsible officer, acting as his deputy.

In the District Competitions, held at Shrewsbury, Hereford Ambulance Division and Shrewsbury N ursing Division No.2 were the winners, and the latter very nearly succeeded in winning the Perrott Shield for two years in succession, in that they were second by a narrow margin of marks. \ Ye all offered them our heart.y congratulations on their great effort, and hope that they will keep up their high st.andard . I am very pleased to note the increase in co-operation between the Brigade ancI the British Red Cross Society. The two organizations meet annually at the \r.A.D. In pection, and I believe that Salop is one of very few countie which hold a joint \ T.A.D. Competition. In addition, friendly competitions-without any prizes have taken place between teams from the Brigade and the ociety, and I tru:-.t. t.hat still furt.her co-operation may be obtained to our mut.ual benefit. \ Ve are almost wholly an agricultural di t.rict, and with the exception of .-\ 5, and a few other major roads, we see comparatively little traffic and no really lar?"e crowds, but none the less every member of the Brigade is keen, and I greatly appreciate the way in which they have worked during a ratl1er difficult. year.

It is with pleasure the registration of the Bexhill Ambulance DiviSIOn i recorded. in this report. In 1900 the BexhilI Division seceded from the Brigade and havc for

the past 35 years carried out yeomen servicc as an indep ndent town ambulance service. By the Bexhill Ambulance Brigade rej oining thc t. John Am bu lance Brigade an efficient and up-to-date equipped Division with b\o motor ambulanc l's is added to the strength of the Distric t. Synopsis of TVork Done.-During the year 31,970 cases were treated exdudin g road accidents) compared with 25,091 in 1934, an increa e 01 6, ~79 cae' It is interesting to compare this figure with 17,6 5 cases treated in 1931. Among the important Public Duties performed by the District during 1935 were : Jubilee of King George the Fifth in London. Royal .l-aval Review at Portsmouth (three clays}. Visit of T.RH. The Duke and Duchess of York to Bexhill. " H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught to Coulsdon. vYedding of T.R.H. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester in London. Visit of H.R.H. The Duke of I{ent to anterbury. H .R.H. The Prince of vVales to Jersey and Guernsey. " H.R.H. The Duke of Kent to l\Iaidstone. The Guernsey Division on the occasion of the Birthday Celebrations of H .::\l. King George the Fifth were permitted to larch Past with the Gucrnscy troops. This is the first occasion any body other than armed forces have evcr taken part in the ceremony. Transport Work.-.l ew motor ambulances have been acquired with a fitting ceremony by Northfleet, Faversham, Horsham, Rochester, Tunbridge 'VeIls, Caterham, Lydcl, Brighton, Cranleigh, Lenham, Redhill and Reigate, and Tonbridge. The total number of motor ambulances operated by Units in the District is 71. During 1935 the motor ambulances carried 25,665 patients a total mileage of 352,215, an increase of 3,067 patients, and 50,620 miles compared with 1934. Since 1931 there has been an increase of over 5,000 patients and 100,000 miles. Road Service.-There were 5,189 road accidcnts attended during the year and the ambulances travelled 35,329 miles in moving these cases to hospital or home. This

15 an increase of 1, 113 patients, and the mileage has an increase of 6,~74 as compared with 1934. Again comparing with the year 1931 there has been an mcrease of 1,972 cases and an increase of over 11,000 miles. . There are thirty permanent Roadside First Aid Stations in the three Counbes, and 100 First Aid abinets. . Beach Seyvice.-This service is of great value and it is grati~ying to .report ltS aro\\th during 1935 . There are now Beach First'Aid Stations at elght seaslde towns, ~nd during 1935 over 3,000 cases received treatment.. . .. ~ ltl'SlIlg DWtSlons.- Officers and members of ursmg DlvlslOns have co-operated to the fullest extent in the work of the District. During the year they treated 6,119 cases; turned out with the motor ambulances on 2,525 occasions, and made 4,472 voluntary attendances at local hospitals. Compared with 1934 the increases are :948 case, 437 hospital attendances, and 109 motor ambulance calls. Thc services of my Lady District uperintendent, Mrs. C. ,Falwasser, C.ST.]., have been most praiseworthy. I am aware ?f the gr~at self-sacrifice she mak~s for the nursing side 01 the District's work, and m rec?rdmg my th,:nks I also desrre to record my appreciation of her valuablc co-operatlOn and devot~on to duty.

No. VIII

AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

Dr. . Corbet Fletcher, Assistant urgeon-in- hief, inspected the Faversham Division, and the Dover Corps, and attended the Dedication Parade at Rochester. The Senior Assistant Commissioner- 1ajor 'V. oble, C.ST.] .-and Lady District Superintendent Mrs . . Falwasser, C.ST.]., in addition to numerous other Inspections undertook the Inspection of the Jersey and Guernsey Divisions. All Divisions were inspected in their own locality by myself or a member of the District taff . The reports were with few exceptions most gratifying, and an eloquent testimony to the enthusiasm all ranks have for the work of the Brigade. Divisional R ec01'ds.-The promptness with which r eturns are made on request, and the rendering of the nnual Returns is most praiseworthy, and reflects great credit on those responsible for this side of the Brigade activitie. This is a most important part of the service and I am grateful and tender thanks to all those who carry out this work behind the scene with such efficiency, accuracy, and promptness. Finances.-The finances of Corps and Divisions are in the majority of cases adequate for the work, but it is difficult to get sufficient to place aside certain sums for objects such a Divi ional Headquarters . The financial side of the work i carried out with thoroughness and the administration is sound. To the Trea urer who also do so much behind the scene I tender grateful thanks. 'Yhen it 1 figured out what it costs the Units to carry out their yeomen service, as reported herein, one cannot help but be impressed with the t enacity of purpo e " 'hieh urge tho e responsible to find the 'ways and means to raise sufficient funds to make the Brigade's work possible of accomplishment. IvIedical Profession.-I express grateful thanks and appreciation to the urgeons of the District, Corps, and Division, who have so generously given of their hard earned leisure to help forward the work of the Brigade. \\'ithout their unstinted help I feel it would not be possible to maintain the high standard of efficiency WlllCh I claim for the District. Police and Municipal Authol'ities.-Relationship with the Police ana :'IIunicipal Authorities continues to be most cordial. I de ire to express in thl ' report my grateful thanks to them for their encouragement and help. It is inspmna to h ave the help of these authorities and their interest. That they are keenly interested in the welfare of the Brigade is evident from th eir many visits and support of "arious functions held within the District, Corps, and Divisions, during the year often at great sacrifice to themselves. Air Raid P recautions .-Five Officers attended the first A.R.P. Course held by the Brigade at the Shaftesbury Hotel in London on 13th and J..1th ] uly, 1935, and were granted Brigade .R.P. Instructor's Certificates. In view of the Memorandum issued by the Home Office to the ?IunicipalAuthorities it became necessary to place all Superintendents of Corps and Divisions (or a representative in each Unit) in a position to meet any calls made upon them for assistance in this important work. I therefore decided on a week-end cou rse of the District in London at the Great Central Hotel in October, 1935, which was attend ed by 259 Officers of the District. To complete the organization it became necessary to cater for Officers who were unable to give up a Saturday, and the syllabus was remodelled to enable intensive Sunday Courses to be held. These courses have been well attended and have permitted N.C.O.s as well as Officers to qualify for the Brigade A.R.P. Instructor 's Certificate. The foregoing organization has enabled me to estimate that by the spring of 1936 each Unit in the District will have at least four qualified Instructors. Great credit is due to all ranks for the way they have taken up this new work, and I thank them all for their co-operation and support. Conclusion.-I cannot express adequately enough the deep debt of gratitude which is owed to all ranks in tbe District for the wealth of service given, a nd for their ceaseless endeavours in a practical way to forward the work th ey all have so much at heart. I am indeed proud to be the Commissioner comprising such a fine b ody of men, women, boys, and girls, and it is with extreme satisfaction I conclude by saying that No.8 (H.R.H . Duke of Connaught's) District is a very happy family. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E . A . RICHARDS, Commissioner, Knight of Grace .

There are 23 .\mbulance Divisions, 9 Tu rsing Divisions, 8 Cadet Ambulance Divisions, and 3 adet Tursing Divisions. IIoiloUYS and .11 wards.-The following have had the honour of being admitted : 'erving Brothersuperintendent VV. E. Butler, Camborne. Dr. R H. Hadfield, Pendeen. \'ellum Yote of ThanksSupt. H. H. \Yenmoth, Liskeard. T. C. Quintre11, Camborne. Honorary Life ~lember of St. ] ohn Ambulance ssociationDr. .-. G. II. 'almon, Bodmin. Eight Service ~Iedals and Service Bars were awarded during the year. COIllPctitlOlls.-The following County Competitions were held : .l\mbulance Combetition. TVimler. " Agar Rob'artes " Shield St. Blazey. Trevarno Shield St. Blazey. Cornwall ounty Shield St. Blazey. " Thomas Peter" hield. Redruth. "Denis 'hip\\Tight" Cup Redruth. " Daniel" 'up Camborne. Individual Cup t. Blazey. • 'ursing " Leggo " Cup H.edruth. " Rich" up. Constantine. " Blackwood" Cup Redruth. The" AgOl:\\'" up for the compeLLLion lJetween the British Red Cross and the St. John's • 'urslllg Di\ ision \Va won by the Launceston B.R.C.V.A.D. The ~o. 9 District Competition for Ambulance and _ ursing Divisions was held at Falmouth. The" Smerdon hield" was won by t. Blazey and the" Burn Shield" by Paignton ~ Tursing Division. I strongly advocate more teams entering for competition as a means of stimulating and sllstaining interest in First Aid work. . \11 members of a Division, if they are ~llIcient, should be capable of entering a competition in which the type of test set IS always of the nature of the accident which they may, at any time, be called upon to meet. Personally, I am not an advocate of intensive training of a team for competitions, but rather of a thorough training of all members of a Division, so that any member \\ hen called upon is capable of carrying out his or her duties. Without the stimulation of competitions, Divisions are liable t.o devote all their energies to transport \\'ork and neglect their First Aid. First .1/(1. This \\'as rendered on 18,957 occasions-an increase of over 3,000 on last year. Though the bulk of these occurred in our industrial centres, many eases were treated by members of Country Divisions; in fact, it is becoming quite the ustom in the villages to send for the ambulance man before they send for the doc.tor in the case of an accident or injury-thus saving valuable time . .Transport.-The cases transported by motor ambulances, of which there are thirteen, totalled 2,720, the mileage run being 45,423 miles. This is an increase of -l00 cases on last year. Two Divisions, which are a long distance from the hospital, ran 10,328 and 8,166 miles respectively. The increase of cases for transport is throwing a heavy strain on Divisions to find \ oluntary drivers, owing to the time it takes, and the cases occurring at all times of the day. This entails loss of time from work, and although some employers are v~r~ .good in not making deductions from pay, the question is a serious one. One D1VlslOn now has a full-time paid driver, and if the work continues to increase,

I am afraid other Di\'isions \\"ill ha\'c to do likcwi"t'. Tilis \\ill throw <l \ ery heavy financial strain on Divisions-a strain which 1 t.hink should be borne b) those bodics who are r espon ible for providing Social Scn ices. I specially wish to thank our dri\"ers for t.hClr \"oluntary scrvicc, given at all times by night or by day.

This is a slight increase on last year. \\"c ha\"e -t7 hrst Aiel Posts situated on roads scattered throughout the County. The Joint Com.mittee of the Cornwall Counly COllncil are making an annual grrtn t of £ 150 towards the e."penses in cnrred in transportlJ1g road accidents. This is bin g divided up between Divisions, a(conlin~ to thc mileage run. Plt1.Jlic Duties.-.\.ll important shows, athlctic gatherings, and football match es were attended; in fact, no gathcring of any size OCCllrs \\"ithout the presence o( th e familiar black uniform with white facings. Lifeboat Duties.-All Cornish Lifeboats are linh!t1up \\ lLIl Divisions, so that train ed men are always available at the Lifeboat SLttion if called upon.

I have ofLc:red a shield, to he competed for annnally by the Cadet Divisions. The smallest Division in the County is the one with most case:> to its credi t, assisting the doctor in the absence of the District _T ursc , :mcl earning the respect the confidence of the whole village. In '1 county like ours, with its many isolated hamlets and districts, such work offers ample scope for our. -ursing' TJivisions, and surely comes nearest to fulfilling the motto of our Order, .. In the Service of Humanity. " r would ask the Lady President and VJ(;e-President to bear in minrl how valuabl e their interest a.nd encouragement can be to a Diyi ion. Two of our Lady Presidents are always present to meet me at Inspections, and from. them 1 learn much that is h elpful, whilst their good influence is evident in the tone of the whole Division. Lady County Officer :\Iiss Grylls, has p:ticl many visits of advice and assi -tance throughout the year, and conducted several Inspections. On the whole, the year has been one of steady progress; I am lleeply conscious of the fact that most of our members have work and houses of their o'\n to attend to, and most of them are still young in mem bership of the Brigade. Yct they gin! a vast amount of their time, training themselves to help others, and I thank them , one and a1l. ETHEL TOW~SEND.

Lady County Superintendent.

Cadet Divisions.-l would like to S<..:C more Divisions starting Cadet Divisions, provided th ey can obtain the type of officer to lead and attract boys. There is a. fine opening for young men in training the boys, and now that so many different badges are given, the Cadet training can be made most attr active. Voluntary Aid Detachments.-I regret to say that I have none in this County.

By th e death of Divisional Superintendent J. C. :\lutton ~f the Ply~outh Po~t Office Division thc Ar a sustained a severe loss. He had a high reputabon for his work as founder and leader of the Division at Plymouth, composed entirely of Post Ofnce officials, buL his genial enthusiasm ancl readiness to join in the Order's wider ;1ctivit.ies much nel ared him to his colleagues of all ranks.

The public duties, road and beach pat.rols, am~ulance staffinf?' and. a~t.endances at various sport have not only been well sustamed by the elght diVISIOns who LOpe with the very numerous calls in the City of Plymouth, but the fewer Il:umbers at altash, Launceston, Tavistock, and Torpoint have also made conslderable sacrifice on behalf of their respective communities. Their comparatively few numbers have been constantly in demand. . In t.he Plymouth, South Dcvon, and East Cornwall Area the :r alue of Chff Resc.ue work and Lifeboat call" standby is particularly stressed WIth advantage. F~e Brigade calls are al 0 simultaneou . ambulance calls irrespective of whether casualtIes are' known to have occurred when the fire alarm sounds. There were about 200 St. John r('spon es t.o accompany the fire fighter' into action. . . . .\.s may be expected, in a great port and garri on area such as tlus, Al~ Raid P:ecaution mea ures, both sides of the River Tamar, have much added to Bngade actIvties. There are several Grade I Instructors, and, early in the new year, there will be A.H.. I'. l<lsses lD all Divisions. The Brigade i' offIcially recognized to <l:ssist.H.~I.

To a well-m rited tribute to the devotion and effiClency of all ranks who haye represented the Brigade in this ,\rea, should be added appreciation of th~ invaluable co-operation of the Police, Pre ' s, and the warm-heart:ed Loca~ S:<?mmlttees of the St. John .\mbulance As ociation. \\"ithout the educational actIvlhes of the latter, recruiting would be almost impossible; whereas their funds lift what wo uld otherwise be an intolcrable financial burden.

I beg to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1935 . The personnel in the Mid Devon Area consists of 7 Corps Officers, 40 Divisional Officers, and 310 N.C.O. s and Privates in the Senior Divisions, giving a total strength of 357, and being an increase of 19 on the year. There are al 0 two Cadet Superintendents, 2 Officers, and 52 Cadets, showing an increase of 16 for the year. A up erintendent and Ambulance Officer have been appointed to the Brixham Division, and this Unit promises to be a useful one in the district it serves. I am still without a permanent Superintendent at King bridge, although 1\1r. R. "'vV . Hudson h as done some good work as Acting Superintendent. The Salcombe Division is still in suspense, but I am hoping a fresh start will be made during the ensuing year. . Owing to increasing professional duties Dr. Venn Dunn has had to resIgn from the position as County urgeon. I regret the loss of his assistance, especially as a

Competition Judge. Dr. Morton Palmer was appoir:ted ~o fill the vacancy, and his experience in A.R.I . work should be very useful III tIllS Area. I have to report the re ignation of Superintendent F. Horn from. the T?r.q~lay Division and Superintendent R. P. Tarring fr~m the Bucl~iastlelgh DIvIsIOn. Both these Officer have given many years of serVIce to the Bngade. Cases removed during the year totalled 1,101, with a mileage of 16,260, being a n increa e of 72 cases, but a decrease of 9,303 miles. This apparent discrepancy is owing to the fact that this ye.ar the. Torquay Division did nO.t include ~he cases removed by the Town Councll III therr motor ambulance, whIch are dnven and manned by Brigade men in the Council's employment. For the same reason the Road Accidents show a decrease of 183, and mileage for same a decrease of 535 in the year. In reality there is an all-round increase in each of these activities. The St. John Ambulance Association plays an important part in supporting the work of the Brigade, and I wish to thank the Officials of the various Sections who have given me their assistance. A promising feature in this Area is the increasing development oi the adet ?-Iovement. A new Division has been formed in Torquay, and two more \\ ill shortlv be registered in other centres. I am stressing the importance of this side of our work, as it is the foundation of future Senior Divi ions, and provides an outlet. for Junior Officers in which they can obtain experience. At the beginning of the season a First Aid Hut was opened at Dawll sh \\'arren. staffed by the local Division, \\"ith the assistance of the Exeter Ambulance and Kursing Divisions. The summer months, \\ hich bring crowds of visitors to our \\ at.ering places, mean increased responsibilities for the Divisions in those towns, and valuable work is done at the various First Aid Huts and Posts on the sea front in outh Devon. The vear 1935 introduced a new feature into our \\ork, viz. Alr Haid Precautions . The Chief Commissioner having promised the Home Office the assistance of tLl: Brigade in this important sphere, a course of lecture was arranged in London in July, and a second course in Kovember. I had the privilege of attcnthng both, the latter with two other Officers from my Area. Besides myself there are no\\. two other Grade I lecturers available, and others are awaiting the result of their examinations. In due course I shall arrange for every Division to have instruction in Au Raid Precautions. Twelve lectures have been given in various centres, and these are now being extended to the O.T.C. Units in the county. I cannot close my report without thanking the Municipal Authorit.ie . . , :'Ileclical Officers, and the Press for their assistance, our Brigade Officers and men for their loyalty and support, and last but not least my hon. secretary, :'I1r. olriclge, for his valuable help during the past year. HERBERT .T. \'reK, 1\ssistant County 'ommisioner, :'Ilid Devon Area, ITO 9 District. EXETER AXD EAST DEVON AREA. (Report on the year 1935 from Assistant County Commissioner Dr. T. :\I. Preece.) I have the honour to submit my annual report on the Exeter and East Devon Area of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, for the year ending 31st December, 1935, and which, in my opinion, has been again a very satisfactory one. During the year a new Division has been formed at Honiton, under an excellent Officer, Superintendent A. VV. Hebden, and when this Division becomes more widely knO\.vn in this town, members of the general public will make use of such services and give a further measure of support to their local Division. Axminster, under Superintendent Harris, Sidmouth, under Superintendent A. ,\Y. Irish, and Seaton, under Superintendent \V. A. Hawker, are going strong. Seaton members have been at a disadvantage over some considerable period in respect of a Drill Hall, but the local Council have very kindly come to their assistance in lending them the use of the Town Hall. During the summer this Division gave a display on the sea front, which brought the Division in the limelight. Budleigh Salterton, under Acting Divisional Superintendent Colonel 1. G. Rowlandson, are making steady progress. At Exmouth the Police and Fire Brigade Division are going strong under Superintendent P. Holmes of the Devon Constabulary, who takes a very keen interest in Ambulance work.

The value of this duty done by these two Divisions has proved Its worth on many occasions during the season. The ompetition Team from Exeter secured first place in the Marcus Hare CompetitIon at Totn s, and second in the district at Falmouth. This Division is indebted to their two Surgeons, Dr. ,\'T.

DEvox TURSI. -G ER\'ICES. (Report of Lady County Officer ::\Irs. R. Balsdon, of Saltash.) I have the honour to submit my ninth annual report for, t. John :\ursin,~ Divisions in Devon County. The year under reyic\\, ended 31st December, 193-, has been one of exceptional activity and great encouragement from T11nny asper-ts but in a brief composite report of thi. nature it is impossible to gi\e individual Divisions the full report they deserve. Competitions.-The County Eliminating (De, on County hampion hip) wa. held at the Shelly Hall, Plymouth, on 6th March, 1935 : 1, Paignton Jursing Division, ,\-inners of " Gale Shield"; ~, herwcll l\'urlOg Division, winners of" Caroline Beckly Cup" ; 3, Plymouth Co-operatl\e; 4,.1. -ewton Abbot; 5, Friary; 6, Plymouth Central; 7, Ford; ,-herwell also \yon the" , hillitoe Cup" for bed-making. The first three teams placed then competed in the Di. trict Competition (Perrott Preliminary) held at Falmouth on 13th April, 1935. Paignton were again successful in gaining first place, and by winning the Bum.. bield, they had the honour of representing No.9 District at the" Finals" held in London on ~~Ist ::\fay. It was indeed a Red Letter Day for the 'Yest Country when it "-as announced that Paignton had won the coveted" Perrott hield" the first time it had ever been \\on bv a \Vest Country team. Lady Ambulance Officer i\. :'Ir. Garland "],;0 dislinguisllcd herself by gaining the" Ellis Cup" for the aptain with the highest individual marks. Many Divisions have also had their Annual Competitions for Individual Fir 't Aid and Home ~ursing and Dual Bed-making tests. These competitions add greatly to the efficiency of members entering the County and Di trict contests, and I am deeply indebted to all who have presented v81uable" ups" and other Trophies for Divisional contests. SU11'L1ner Aid Posts.-Continued staffing at Insto\\", Paignton, Torquay, and Plymouth, and at various children's playing lields have made great demands upon our members during the summer. l\Iany letters of appreciation for these sen'lce: have been received. For instance, at Torquay, the nurses have for several years endeavoured to staff the Public Beaches, first by modest patrolling with a haversack, later by staffing a tent on the more cro\\ ded beach. In recognition of the gTeat work they were doing, the Torquay Council provided them with a suitable tent for an Aid Post in 1935, and the Lady Divisional President, :'lrs, \\arncford (Dame of Grace) presented the Division "ith a St. John Flag to be flown on the tent durin g duty periods. This was" Broken" for the first time by the ::\Iayor of Torquay on 3rd August. The number of cases receiving First Aid was 632 from \Vhitsun unt;l September. vVork in connection with these Summer Aid Posts is becoming increasingly recognized by local councils and governing bodies. I am pleased to report that at Dawlish \Yarren the Exeter nurses, in conjunctlOn with the Exeter and Teignmouth Ambulance Divisions, were responsible for staffing a Beach Hut on Saturdays and Bank Holidays- this being quite a new venture proved very acceptable to the great number of campers and holiday makers at the \Varren. Jubilee Celebrations.-:'Iade great demands upon our members 111 all parts of the County-many of the nurses being on duty from 9 a.m, until midnight, with only a brief interval for rest and refreshment. The duty was undertaken by the majority with that willingness so characteristic of those privileged to wear the eight pointed cross. Barnstaple Fair.-Three days duty from noon until midnight, under the supervision of Lady Divisional Superintendent Mrs. I(nott brought great credit on the members of this Division as also did the Devon County Show.-A three days duty adequately staffed by members of Barnstaple, Lady County Officer Miss Hardie Jackson being in charge of the St. John

LO/lg Distance Hell/ot'als by rail and road ha\-c been successfully carrjed out from \ arious parts of the County to the entire satisfaction of :M edical Officers, relatives, and patients. Some of these journeys have required great skill on the part of our mcmbers especially on journeys as far as Liverpool. ,\ request for two lady officers to accompany the Plymouth District contingent of the Rechabite Order (several hundred adults and children) travelling to thc Centenary Cclebrations at Belle ,"ue, :'-Ianchcster, \\as successfully arranged. .\ compartment in the special train was allocateJ as illl .:\id Post. The two 1l1.embers were on duty throughout the night, and owing to the great number of casualties at Belle \r ue, their services were gladly accepted throughout thc afternoon. The members again being on duty throughout the night on the reLurn journey. ,\ppreciation of this feat of endurance has been recelved from manv sources, Ship R emova/s.-=-This has become an established duty in the port of Plymouth, and often the members have to make stormy passage on the tenders before reaching their patients being landed from liners in Plymouth Sound. All cases have been ilrought ashore and transferred to hospitals and nursing homes successfully_ (,lIitie Camps.-Duties undertaken by members have in all cases received the cnmmendation of the 'amp Commandants. The St. John members have also thoroughly enjoyed these amps, e'-en when the Clerk of the \Veather was in an unfriendlv mooel.

Un the occa~ions of the Prince of \Yalcs' Hospital (Lockyer treet Section) Dinner and Dance to 'taff, thc matron has for several years requested the entire staffing of the hospital by St. John Officers and members. The fact that on 31st December the whole of the hospital staff left thc building, and the staffing was carried out enti rely by our members is perhaps the greatest tribute any matron could pay to the nurses of thc St. ] ohn Ambulance Brigade. Public Du/y olld Invalid Transport.-Thousands of duties have been staffed dunng the year, and nurses have rendered First Aid on 2,546 occasions. Patients have been accompanied in ambulances 1,961 times. Reglsll'atioll.-Combe :\lartin ursing Division was registered toward the end of the year.

Several Divisions are now very a~tively engaged in A.R.P.

Nursing Cade/s.-Although the numbers for the whole of the County are comparatively small (approximately 200) the amount of good work accomplished by these Cadets has been really remarkable.

Sm, I have the honour to submit to you my annual report for t.he year ending 31st December, 1935 . The Annual Inspection was hcld at Dorchester in the playing fields of the Grammar School placed at my disposal by the courtesy of the Governors anc1 the Heacll\Ia. tel', Mr. Hill, and this proved to be an ideal place for thc purpose. All the Divisions in the County were represented, and the ursing Units were inspected by Robinia Viscountess :'Iountgarret, Lady District Officer of the \iVestern Area, No.1 District, who expressed herself well satisfied with the turnout anI] general appearance of the Parade: the Inspecting Officer was accompanied by :'lrs. E. Lansdown, the Lady County Officcr for Dorset.

DISTRICT.

207

The men \yere inspected by myself assisted by my County Officers, Dr. E. S. olin Forbes, and 1 found the Parade satisfactory in all respects, and the books and reco rds well kept, and 259 of all ranks were present, including a small detachment of Girl Cadets. A March Past thc Saluting Base was followed by a procession through the town to St. Peter's hurch whcre a service was conductcd by the Rev. A. W. ::\1arkby, all the Divisions afterwards proceeding to the Territorial Drill Hall where tea was provided by the kindness of the Dorchester Division. The Drill Hall is an admirable centre for parading the Divisions, and there is ample accommodation for thc entcrtainment of a large gathering. Grateful thanks are due to the Commanding Officer of the Dorset Regiment for the loan of the hall. Vcry many thanks arc also due to Divisional Superintendent E. \V. Cuff of Dorchester for the admirable manner in which a ll the local arrangements for the Annual Inspection were carried out also the County Officer :'lajor Colin Forbes for much work in organizing the Inspection. During the year under revicw much good work has been done by the Divisions under my command, not only in the mattcr of transport and the attendance at various function s, hut in Beach Huts, of which there are two at Poole and one at Weymouth, and in Portland where there are a number of First Aid Stations, and the 'e are of the utmost usc as quarry accidents are common. In June of this year the H.oyal Counties Agricultural Show was held in \Veymoutb, and was unfortunately marred by appalling \\eather conditions, but nevertheless exccllent \\ork was done by the Brigade, both men and women, who were assisted by members of the British JZ,ecl ross, Dorset 3 -to whom grateful thanks are due. .\ I-irsl .\1(\ Hut was erected and members were in attendance both night and day, the duties iJeing carried out by the \Yeymouth anel Portland Divisions. The ounty liminating competitions for the Dewar and Perrott Shields were this year held in I 'ook, the Sllcce 'sful teams proceeding to Falmouth for the District j·inals. Th total strength of the BnJade in Dorset is no\\' 367 which shows a small increase on last year, but it is hoped t.hat other town in the County will come into line ,lnd realize the importance of having a Divi~lOn of their own to help in the very great \\ ork whi ch is being carried out. Steps are being t.ak n to bring these new Di\ i::.ions into being, but there is some apat.hy 1Il the matter \\ hich 1 am t.rylllg to overcome, and I hope next year I shall be able to report th' formation of new Di\ isions, and endeavours are being made to II1tcrest prominent reSIdents to lencl their support. So far as \\ eymouth is concerned \\'e are so fortunate as to have as :'layor, :'Ir. Bert Biles, who is eloing, and has promised to continue to do, all he can to further the interest of t.he St John .\mbulance \\ork, especially so far as providing a Headquarters bUllcling for the local Di\"ision is concerned, which has for a long time been badly needed, ancl ?llr. Biles has a well desen"ed reputation for carrying out what he undertakes to clo . The incidencc of slckne~s has in this area in common with many otbers been light during thc last. YC<Ir, but the number of cases attended was 2,410 involving a mileage o( 7,405. ]n this scattered area transport has always involved some difficulties, and whilst ;\lunicipal .\uthoritie have In large measurc provided for this, the handling of cases has been almost entirely carried out by the men of the Brigade with a willinO"ness and pleasurc \\ Inch is characi.enstic of the ambulance spirit everywhere, and these sen icee; are, I feel SlIre, aIJpreciated in thc manner they should be by all concerned. Dorchester is now providing an ambulance of its own, and this is largely due to the efforts of the Diyisional Superintendent, :.\lr. E. \Y . Cuff, and other members of thc Division, and a voluntary contributory scheme has been evolved, whereby Lo ~tnbutors \\ill be entitled to a free transport service as and \\'hen required, and thIS wiJl without douiJt satisfy a long felt want, and prove a boon to the town and district. l?uring my years of office I have always favoured County Annual Inspections, as III my opinion t.hey encourage the personnel and bring the Brigade work b efore the public, and these have on the whole been well and loya lly supported, and Portland in particul::lr shows a very fine record for several years past of 100 per cent III so far as " In uniform and present at Annual Inspection" is concerned, but there are. orne Divisions who might do better in the matter of attendances and so do a great cleal to uphold the Brigade and it£ great work.

I have the honour to forward my annual report on this, the 1 0 . 10 Dic;trict of the Brigade for the past year 1935. Again I have not.hing new to add except to state that new Divisions are still being formed in the District and more especially adets, both boys and girls. These I look upon as an excellent recruiting ground for the future once the boys and girls come of age. Many of them have gone in for and have obtained certificates in all manner of subjects, but so far none have managed to obtain a Grand Prior's Badge. Anti-gas lectures are actively under way, but are somewhat handicapped by a lack of sufficient masks, nevertheless both men ~nd women are keen on the subject, and iI a constant supply as and when requJIed could be forthcoming it would be a great help. ew medical comlorts depots are being opened throughout the District, notably at Yarmouth and Colchester. At the former they have all they can do to keep pace with the demand for articles required on loan, and Colchester is steadily getting along. Ipswich, the parent one

in the District, I claim as second to none in the Kingdom. It is administer ed by two most devoted members of the Brigade, deserving the highest possible praise. Its stock is extraordinary, it can supply at a moment's notice anything from a spinal carriage to a mat.ernity bag, and the most satisfactory and almost incredible thing is practically no article is ever stolen, even when lent to the po<?rest of ~he .poor ; obviously it is doing a most excellent work. All the ambulances III the Dlstnct are in excellent condlt.ion; I think I have seen them all. They are kept in good running order and, more important, the interiors and equipment are in good conditionclean, spick and span. The District, in addition to duties, attended to as a matter of routine, had the honour of providing nursing and ambulance personnel for the Royal Reviews at both Duxford and Mildenhall. To me it was a source of conSIderable anxiet.y in view of the enormous number of cars that were parked around. J\ chauffeur, a cigarette, and a match were the principal causes of that anxiety. I am glad, however, in some ways, although sorry in others, we had not a single major accident or illness to deal with; only the usual faints and heat strokes to a little over nve hundred cases. At cross-roads where we posted men, women, and equipment not a single thing happened of any moment. "'vVe received a letter of thanks from the ::\linistry \\ho congratulated us on the efficiency of our turnout. As to t.he numbers III the District, although post carded over and over, I have had the greate ·t dliTlculty in getting in my annual returns, and so I am not able to give you an accurate roll of our number of either men, women, or cadets. Of the latter, I would draw your attentlOn to one particularly good Division of boy Cadets at Cambridge; when I inspected these I was amazed at the knowledge displayed by these lads, all of whom 'w ere in uniform and who went through their little drill under their sergeant like lit.tle guardsmen. They are very much alive. The road patrols are not as sat.i~faclorily carried out as I would wish, but the men and women who do these and. staff the various posts have my sympathy. On high days and holidays, the times t.hey are mo t needed, I am afraid family gatherings at the seaside are a great appeal, and to us the sea is so near. I am bound to add, however, that in various and several motor accidents our people have attended to they have done their jobs uncommonly well and I frequently have letters from doctors who tell me of the excellent work our people have carried out before they arrived on the scene. In cases of the unfortunates who were killed, several of such cases have been aU nded t.o by our people in not only an efficient but in a most reverent manner. 10 me it is an amazing thing that girls a little over twenty, who probably have never seen a dead body in their lives before, have been able to do what they ha\e done. One of my troubles is that so many of these girls who join us are 0 enthusiastic in t.he \vork that many of them take up nursing as a profession and leaYe us. In everal instance, everal originally taught nursing by us are sisters in charge of wards in large London hospital to-day. Our loss, but gain to the nursing profes ion, and \\e are vcry proud of them. You may safely take it from me that this District is in good fettle and has among t its members both Officers and men keen and ent.husiastic on their job and know their work. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J AMES HOSSACK, Kt. of Grace. OU.r TY OF HERTFORDSHIRE. I have the honour to submit this, my first annual report for the County of Hertfordshire for the year ended 31st December, 1935. The total strength of the Brigade in the ounty is : Units. Strength. 9 209 Ambulance Divisions ursing Divisions 3 40 12 249 showing a decrease in personnel of three since 1934. The decrease by no means indicates a decline in interest, but denotes a gr adual tightening up in the standard of efficiency. Outlook for the future is distinctly encouraging and new Divisions are in sight. County RaZZy.-The Marquess of alisbury, by whose kind permission our first County Rally was held in Hatfield Park, honoured the occasion by his presence ~nd accompanied the Inspecting Officer, Major J. F. C. Hossack, on his tour of lUspection.

The event, though marred by heavy rain, clearly indicated the value of such organized parades. Public Duty.-The demand for public duty is on the increase and I am pleased to say is being successfully met. Road Service.-I am making every effort to increase and improve this really important service. Divisional Insp ections.-A personal visit was paid by me to all Divisions and I am satisfied that a steady improvement in efficiency, stores, equipment, etc., is being maintained.

~I.B. E., P.c.,

I ha\"e the honour to submit my report for the year 1935. Thc growing round of Public Duties was carried out effectively by the Ambulance and i\ursing Divisions. The formation of Divisions in Cork and Limerick has made similar scrvices available to the public in those cities. Thc more important duties included all the large motor racing events; the Royal Dublin Society's Shows; the transport of the invalids travelling on the Ozanam, r.Y.:\1.s., and rranciscan Pilgrimages to Lourdes. Members of Nursing Divisions C ompanied the invalids on the two former. At the First Aid Hut in O'Connell Street 1,599 cases were treated-897 by the clay Orderly and 662 by the night and Sunday Staffs. A largc numbcr of cases \\-crc dealt with at the Hut in the Phrenix Park during the football season, and the three scaside Huts were open during the summer season. Dunng the ycar 727 Invalid Requisites were lent out from the Dublin Depot, an increase on the previous year, and the Bray and Naas Depots also met constant demands. Thc Jumble Sale organized for this and the Stores Department realized over £36. From the Stores Department 109 Requisitions for medical stores, consisting of 4,411 items. "'crc dealt with on behalf of the Ambulance and ursing Divisions and Huts. Requisitions totalling 512 items were handled in connection with the RD . . Shows and three Lourdes Pilgrimages. In addition 941 items 'w ere issued and paid for. The value of the Stores issued free was £9-!. A large number of articles under tIle heading of Tniform Stores were dealt with. The work of this department has bccome extremely heavy. 'I he .\mbulancc 'lsters who report for duty with the ambulances also carry out a largc amount of work in the Stores and Invalid Requisites Departments. Up to the closc of the year the two Departments were under the supervision of Lady 'upcrintcndcnt :\Irs. G. 1\1. Rowlette. The \\'ork of the \\"eHare Dining Rooms continued to increase in spite of the clusing (for rca sons of bctter working) of one of the four dining-rooms. In ] 934,711 women wcre fed-S2,590 dinners were served at a cost of £1 ,21 17 s. 9d. (including administration). In 1935, 49 women were fed-58,379 dinners served at a cost of £1,435 175. 6d. (lOc ludinO' administration). In 1935, 630 new cascs were passed for admission to the dining-rooms. The Annual Sale in November for the Department realized . .£419 15s. 2d. The very severc winter brought extra demands upon the Central \Vorkroomnearly 4,000 articles ncw and second-hand were distributed during the year, and the Committee gratefully acknowledge many gifts of material and clothing. Ihc Nursing Divisions' Competitions, organized by Lady District Superintendent :\l1ss E. F. Blandford were hcld at the Brigade Hall on 11th and 13th April. The results \\'ere as follows:Irish TVomen's Challenge Cltp.-Harcourt Nursing Division. Overend CliP for Jnghest marks in Home Nltrsing.-Headquarters Nursing Division.

was rendered at 1,656 road accidents; and nursing members made 797 attendances at Hospitals, Clinics, and Medical Comforts Depots. Eleven Roadside Huts and 53 First Aid Posts are being maintained. Increased calls have been made upon the voluntary services of St. John personnel by the provision of First Aid Huts by respective local Councils at popular seaside resorts. AMBULANCE HALLS.

A home of its own is the ideal to which the Brigade in every locality strives to attain Ambulance \Vork particularly can be severely handicapped by a lack of suitable accommodation-undisturbed freedom for lectures and study and adequate space for practice and drills-a pronounced need to-day in the majority of Brigade Units in Wales. Most of the Colliery Divisions benefit by facilities provided by the Owners in the way of disused buildings, often with heating and lighting free of cost; and a small proportion have acquired their own headquarters. The greater number, however, have to rely upon the hire of accommodation in the local school, workmen's institute, welfare hall, or other available room, which is not only a heavy tax upon financial resources, but deprives a Unit of aU opportunities for the social and recreational uses that bind a membership together in camaraderie and esprit de corps. Nevertheless, the policy of the Priory has been to deter rather than encourage ambitious building schemes where it seemed that enterprise was outstepping reason, as there is always the danger of large halls erected in times of prosperity becoming a burden when industrial conditions change.

SPECIAL AREAS GRA T.

No one who had come into personal contact with St. J ohn Units in all the district of outh \Vales could fail to be conscious of the very real value of the Brigade in the pccial Areas", where it has the secondary role of offering an occupation of mind and body which stimulates the powcrs of re i tance to depressing conditions. The poverty of its membership and the ad,'crse conditions which militate against voluntary financial support must, however, curtail normal progress and cffecti\"encss; and an application was submitted to the Commissioner for England and \Vales for the consideration of the claims of the St. John Ambulance Brigade within the Priory for Wales as falling within thc scope of Clause 1 (1) of the Special Areas Act, 1934, where one of the functions of the Commissioners is defined as Assistance of mea ures designcd to facilitate ... social improvement of the areas specified". A memorandum of appeal eventually received favourable consideration; and on 6th November the welcome notification was received that the CommIssioner was prepared to make a grant of £5,000 to the Priory for \Vales for allocation in certain specified proportions for expenditure on Uniform and Equipment and First Aid Requisi.tes, in respect of wholly unemployed members of Divisions in the Special Areas. An exceptional amount of correspondence was involved in arriving at the exact needs and eligibility of the Units concerned; but by December the actual task of ordering uniform had begun; and it became apparent all too soon that even so generous a grant would not equip the whole unemployed membership.

RESERVES.

Of the three Reserves open to Brigade personnel, progress can be reported only in connection with the V.A.D. Scheme. Three new Detachments have been registered, bringing the V.A.D. strength up to 167. The Military Hospitals Reservists in Wales number 426. A good number of enrolments have been effected during the year, but the total is only three up on 1935, as there have been many discharges consequent upon the disbandment of the CWIll Colliery Division, and transfers from other Units, Welsh members of the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve number no more than 11 at present, but names are being added from time to time to the waiting list for enrolment. BRIGADE ACTIVITIES.

The recorded facts as regards the extent of services rendered cannot be taken as an adequate representation since exactly one-third of the Senior Units failed to render any account in this respect. Summarized, the available returns reveal that 53,648 cases were treated. Assistance

cl~ses a total amount .of £921 4s. 8d. has been disbursed, and it is already eVIdent that the free Issue of Uniform and Equipment will give a marked impetus to Brigade Work in some of the most depressed areas.

SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATION. The largest parade of Brigade Units ever staged in Wales was held in the spacious grounds of Cardiff Castle to mark the celebration of the 25th Ann~versary of the accession of King George the Fifth on the part of the Pr.lOry for ~~les. The occasion was honoured by the presence of the ChIef CommIsSIOner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at Home Major-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., who o~ his third visit to the Priory in pected 3,537 Ambulance men, women, and cadets. Representative of the Cardiff, Newport, 1erthyr, Rhondda, Aberdare Centres, and Caerphilly Sub-District, the parade was commanded by Captain T. E. Richards, J.P., Commi sioner of the Rhondda Centre. The success of this memorable event was in no small measure due to the interest and generosity of the Marquis and Marchioness of Bute, who not only placed ideal accommodation at the Priory's disposal, but also entertained a large party to tea in the Castle and made a grant for a similar purpose of one shilling per head for the whole number on parade. INSPECTIO s. by the Chief Commissioner of a combined parade of Umts from SIX Centres lessened the Inspection Programme for 1D35: and now that Centre of Sub-District Inspections are taking the place of the smaller parades formerly arranged, I am able to inspect annually most of the areas, with the valued assistance of the Assistant Commissioner for \Vales, Mr. A. G. E. J. Fudge, who undertook nine in 1!13J. The presence of the Surgeon-in-Chief (Colonel J. E. H. Da ies, D.S.O., M.R.C.S.), and the Assistant Syrgeon-in-Chief (Dr. D. Rocyn Jones, C.B.E.), ad~ed greatly.to t?e techmcal value of a number of the Inspections, while the Nursmg SIde was stimulated by the attendance of the Assistant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for Wales (Lady (Herbert) Lewi , O.B.E.) at half a dozen. ~he Inspec~ion

COMPETITIONS . . The number of Ambulance Competitions organized by the Priory mcreases year by year. The introduction of contests for employees of ~oad passenge~ .transport undertakings can be recorded as the most Importan~ addItIon to the 1935 programme. Following a year's class work, regIOnal contests were held at Cardiff for Undertakinas in Cardiff and. District, an~. at Ab~rdare for that area, culminating bin the first NatIOnal CompetItIon whIch took place at the City Hall, Cardiff, on the 23rd October The Motor Omnibus Proprietors' Association generously provided a cup, which was won by the Aberdare U.D.C. Transport Department. In the Welsh Brigade Final Competitions held in Cardiff on the 30th March, .t~e " Llandinam " Shield and " Arthur Griffiths Memorial" Cup CompetItIons, were won by the Clydach and District Ambulance and Llanelly Nursing Divisional teams respectively.

239

The "Harry \Vebb " Cup, open to teams of Railwaymen in Wales and Monmouthshire, was won by the Great Western Railway Fishguard Harbour team at Cardiff on the 5th November. As the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, held at Caernarvon in 1935, when the competitions were organized as usual by the Priory, the (( Lady Lewis" Cup, open to teams of men, was won by the Liverpool City Police team, and the" Lady Bute " Cup for Nursing teams by the Pwllheli B.R.C.S. Three Competitions for teams of men, women, and boy cadets in \Vales and Monmouthshire were held at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society's annual show at Haverfordwest, under the direction of the Principal Secretary, who as in former years was appointed Honorary Director of Ambulance. The Brecknockshirc Police, Llanelly St. John Nursing, and Pontyberem St. John Boy Cadet Teams were successful. AIR RAID PRECA UTIO s. The majority of Brigade Officers in \Vales have shown a commendable readiness to meet their obligations in this respect; and only the absence of orthodox procedure and an official syllabus of instruction until late in the year prevented rapid strides. As it was, the text book, Air Raid Precautions Handbook No.2, published in the summer, was eagerly studied and about forty Brigade Officers attended a Course of Lectures given. by Lieutenant T. H. ~revor at the Cardiff Barracks, by the kind permls IOn of the Commandmg Officer, the Depot, the \VeIch Regiment. The e Officer each purchased a General Service Respirator; and though the Cour e could not be recognized as official, nor could the students be qualified as efficient or otherwise, the training received has been passed on to Brigade membership in the various localities. "Velsh members have taken advantage of the kind invitation of the Chief Commissioner to attend the four In tructor's Courses held in London; and an official, Course i proceeding in Cardiff. There are now a number of Instructors, Grade 1 and Grade 2 in \Vales, while the general development of the scheme within the Brigade in \Vales has occupied the attention of a representative Sub-Committee for the past twelve months. The six Mines Rescue Associations in the South \Vales Coalfield have undertaken to allow the A.R.P. Classes in the respective localities to attend the Rescue Station for the purpose of practical demonstrations under actual conditions. One happy issue likely to arise on these otherwise ominous ~rrangen~ents is the fact th.at the con!act thus established with experts 111 the mmes rescue work WIll tend to Improve the standard of First Aid and rcscne work generally in the mines. MEDICAL CO:\1FORTS DEPOTS. are 11 Depots e~tabli hed un~er the Priory Scheme and rendering returns to PrIory House, mcluding seven new ones opened durmg the year. The total number of articles issued in 1935 either at nominal charges or free of cost was 4,4.35. ' ~hel~e per~odlc

7IlOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE. No new Stations were opened during 1935, but an increase in the services rendered can again be recorded. The fleet of nineteen cars carried out 13,838 removals, involving a total mileage of 248,978, an

increase of 2,320 and 26,612 respectively on the figures for 1934. During the seventeen years of its existence the Serv~ce h,\s undertal~en 73,707 journeys, covering 1,434,182 miles; and thIS penod has WItnessed a continuous advance in the comfort and efficiency of ambulance cars, with which it can fairly be said that the Priory has kept pace. The extension of the Service has been very largely dependent on the continued assistance received from the Miners' Welfare Fund towards capital expenditure, a grant of £1,?00 having b~en allo.cc:ted in 1935; but a considerable improvement m the financlal posltIon has been effected in the last five years in which a Reserve for the Replacement of Cars has risen from £1,200 to £7,000. APPOINTMENTS.

The Nursing side of the Brigade in Wales has received a wel~ome stimulus by the gracious acceptance by H.R.H . the Duchess of l{ent of the office of Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for \Vales, formerly held by the Dowager Countess of Plymouth . . Another important appointment approved by the Sub-P nar was that of Mr. D. M. Evans-Bevan, J .P. (Commissioner for the Glamorgan County Centre) as Treasurer for Wales, in succession to the late Colonel H . E. 1. Lindsay, C.B., T.D., D.L. GENERAL.

A comparison of numerical strength from year to year is t he simplest criterion of progress; but it by no means indicat es the full extent of ~he effort expended in countering adverse con~itions . In com!ll0n w~th South Wales the Priory has been engaged dunng the past year m fightmg a rearguard action against increasingly severe odd. The d o e of the year has witnessed a welcome allocation o~ public fur:ds to cou.nteract the contraction of local resources by a free 1 sue of UnIform, eqUl pment , and First Aid material in respect of the Unemployed Brigade member hip. There may well be an infusion of fresh :vitality by grants in ~ th er dire~ tions; but any degree of success achleved dunng the pen od of tlllS Report is attributable to the unswerving devotion to duty and increasing hard work of a large body of men and women-too numerous for individual mention, but who will recognize in the record the part they have quietly yet conscientiously played. A p,articular tr~but.e is due. to the ti.re.less activities of members of the Medlcal ProfesslOn 111 lectunng, exammmg, and judging, for ambulance efficiency is indissolubly linked with their gratuitous and expert services.
