King, the Librarian, his report was read by the Assistant Librarian, Mr. H. W. Fincham. H.R.H. the Grand Prior then addressed the assembly as follows : (/ CONFREREs.-In welcoming all present I have no hesitation in congratulating our Executive Officers on the work of the Order for the past year. Again it has proved to be a year of all round progress, and moreover has demonstrated increasingly the extreme value to the public of our voluntary service for humanity. "Of outstanding notice is the remarkable achievement of our Chief Commissioner for Overseas, Colonel Sleeman, whom we welcome home ~fter a most arduous Visitation on my behalf to our two Commanderies m ~h.e. southern hemisphere, followed by a tour of inspection of our actIVItIes throughout Australia. I am personally deeply grateful to him and am very pleased to know that high commendation of the valuable results of his tour. has b~en rece~v.ed fro m many sources throughout the parts of the EmpIre whIch he VISIted. He will have the satisfaction of knowing that his task has been an unqualified success.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

PROMOTIO S, ADMISSIONS, ETC.

I am glad to learn that our new Charter and tat utes have reached a final stage and will it is hoped be in operation by the autumn. As regards the Hospital at Jeru alem I have ndors d and intend to support the Hospitaller's appeal for funds to brin a our Ho pital up to date. I realize that it ha become an urgent necessity, and I tru t that our members will give their generous help to enable the work to be started as soon as quiet is happily restored in Pale tine. Our work at home has been intensified by heavy calls, especially in London and the home counties, which have been described by ir John Duncan in his report, and I wish to congratulate our Director of Ambulance and our Chief Commissioner, their officers and members of our Ambulance Brigade for the plendid way in which they have met the strain of the past twelve months, and particularly for the prompt way in which they have responded to the new duty of helping to protect the civil population in the event of possible attacks from the air. In conclusion I desire to expres your thanks and my own to our Sub-Prelate, Bi hop Palmer, for his address at our ommemoration Service, and to the Officiating Chaplain for all hi arrangements."

and the receptions really wore one out. Colonel Sleeman carried out these arduous duties quite cheerfully, and I have heard from other sources how grateful they are to him for his visit and how great has been his work on behalf of the Order. I do not wish to take up your time by repeating what I have ~lready said but I do feel that a tremendous advance has been made In promoting the best interests of our Order and especially in showing how great is the quality of service which can be ~ffered by. those who take an interest in what is for the good of humamty. I WIsh to assure all whom I have the honour of addressing to-day, how grateful I am for the kind manner in which you always receive me and to assure you that as long as I live-I am afraid I cannot expect that will be very long, but Providence ha been very kind to me, and I hope my life may be prolong~d for a few more years- I shall continue to take the deepest interest in the Order and its work. "

At the conclusion of the Grand Prior's address the

ub- rior said : -

CONFRERES.-With the conclusion of our Grand Prior's graciou comments on the work of the Order during the past year the bn inc of this Assembly ends, except that I know you will want me, on your behalf, to express to our Grand Prior our happiness and grateful thanks to him that he has been enabled once again to attend our Commemoration ervice and to preside over our deliberations this afternoon. No words of mine are required to add emphasis to that desir, but I would just like to say this. After the experience of twelve y ars in office under the wise guidance of Your Royal Highness, I am completely convinced that under that guidance no organization of such wide pread dimensions as ours exists, the traditions of which are more faithfully and more single-heartedly carried out by all Members and Associates and workers both at home and overseas, on the service in which all are engaged. I ask you by acclamation to give His Royal Highness our grateful thanks for his presence and encouragement." Loud applause. 1/

His Royal Highness The Grand Prior said : CONFRERE.-I am deeply grateful for the very kind manner in which the Sub-Prior has spoken of my services to the Order. I can assure you all that it is a labour of love. I take the deepest interest in the work of the Order, and I do feel that I have in the Sub-Prior and those who work under him, those whose hearts and souls are in the work of doing what they can to help humanity by promoting the best possible arrangements for increasing the good work that they are doing not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the Empire. We have heard of the visit of Colonel Sleeman to the Commanderies overseas. I have already referred to this in my remarks and I should like to say again that I do think that it will be a very great help in furthering the work of the Order in the Dominions which he visited. I have some little experience myself, especially in South Africa. I know that when I paid my last visit to South Africa the long journeys and the meetings 1/

Lowe was wearing sea boots at the time and was obliged to run on the slippery slope about 250 yards. He closed with him about ten yards fr?m the cliff edg~ and after a violent struggle and helped by Williams, who had arnved, succeeded ill dragging the man back into safety. The man was drunk and very :riolent, but repeatedly asked to be allowed to go over the edge. There were no Wltnesses, but statements by the police who arrived, testify to the danger run by Lowe, dressed as he was, in his struggle on the edge of the cliff. All concerned confirm the determined nature of the man's attempt to throw himself over the cliff. Chief Officer Lowe was awarded the Life Saving Medal in bronze and Signalman Williams a Certificate of Honour.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

In addition to the Annual Commemoration Service held on St. John's day, the three statutory services wer~ o~served as follows :10th March.-Festival of the DedicatIon of the Church and Commemoration of Benefactors, v.rith Holy Communion in the morning and on the following Sunday a Church Parade of the Southern Area of No.1 District of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, at which Canon J.

Douglas. . 9th December.-Commemoration of the Capture of Jerusalem, WIth Holy Communion in the morning, and on the follo:mn.g unday a ~rvice principally attended by the Officers of No.1 DIstnct of the Bngade, Bishop Palmer being the preacher. . The sincere thanks of the Order are agam offered to the members of the Voluntary Choir, which under the guidance of lr. F. \V. Clifford, Officer of the Order, and the two Honorary Organists, 1\1r. Slanley Roper, M.V.O., and Commander The Hon. Henry Cecil, O.B.E., R. J. ., Officers of the Order, has again rendered valuable service. . The banner of the King of Denmark has been placed WIth tho e of the other Grand Crosses.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE GAZETTE. The circulation during the year has continued to increase slow~y, but steadily. The year under review was the best, from the finanCIal point of view, in the history of the Gazette. Unemployment amongst the rank and file of the Brigade, which is the Gazette's best market, has a great retarding effect upon sales.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JERUSALEM The following is extracted from the Annual Report of the Committee : THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Ho.spital h~ve the honour to submit their Forty-fifth Report for the mformatIon of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. Your Committee warmly congratulates the Ward~n on the hon~ur of a Knighthood conferred on him by H.M. the Kmg~ .our So:rerelgn Head, in his birthday Honours list. It is a welcome recogmtIon. of SIr J ~hn Strathearn's whole-hearted devotion to the work of the Order m Palestme and his successful administration of the Hospital committed to his charge. Dr. Khalil M. Budeiri, on the departure of Dr. Ryan, has succeeded to the post of Registrar and House Surgeon. It is with regret that your Committee learned that Mr. J. H?rne Stevenson, M.B.E., R.C., for thirty years a member of the CommIttee and Hon. Secretary for Scotland, has felt obliged to resign his seat on the

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM.

Cont.

Committee and his Honorary Secretaryship. His work was invaluable in keeping alive in Scotland interest ~n the work of the O~der i~ Palestine. His place has been filled by the appomtment of Colonel SIT Colin MacRae, C.V.O., C.B.E. During the year under review two old and devoted servants have passed away. Dr. \V. E. Cant died at his home near Colchester on August 17th and Mrs. Cant only survived him by a few weeks. Dr. Cant succeeded Dr. Ogilvie as Medical Officer-in-charge of the Hospital, which had first opened its doors in. t~e Old Turkish Ho~se in 1883. He laboured for twenty-three years building up the reputatIOn of the Hospital amid great difficulties caused by the prejudices of the very people he had been sent to serve, sometimes as surgeon single-handed, but always with l\lrs. Cant's help, even in the meanest capacity. It is said lhat she at times scrubbed the floors and she certainly never once returned home during all those twenty-three years. Those were what they both loved to describe as the" lean years of the Hospital and in a letter written shortly before her death she declared that neither her husband or herself ever regretted them though they read with pleasure the annual Reports of later years telling of a larger outlook and greater opportunities of furthering the work. Dr. Cant on retirement from his post was promoted Knight of Grace of the Order and returned for a further three months' emergency work on the sudden death of his successor and thus his total service amounted to twenty-three years and three months. He was appointed by the Grand Prior a member of the Hospital Committee on his return to England and later was made Honorary Consulting Surgeon to the Hospital. ChapterGeneral recognizing his great record of single-hearted work has expressed its wish that a suitable memorial should be erected to perpetuate his name in the Hospital he loved- a memorial which will doubtless also record the virtues of Mrs. Cant as well. It is with deep regret that a cable received on New Year's Day announced the death of Lady Watson in Jerusalem on 31st December. She had been knocked down some three months earlier by a heavily laden donkey while on her way to work as usual in the Hospital. It was found that her femur had been broken and she was removed to the Government General Hospital where she received every possible kindness and attention but her great age-she was 82-was against her permanent recovery and she gradually weakened till the end came. She will be greatly missed in Jerusalem where she had lived since 1916 in a house she had bought in the Old City, overlooking the Muristan, the birthplace of the Order of St. John, and facing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. She was a great servant of the Order of St. John-working regularly once a week in the Linen Room of the Hospital and untiring in her advocacy of the needs of the Hospital financially which resulted in a revenue averaging since 1921 over £221 per annum. As Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem of our Hospital her place will be hard to fill. Lady Watson was a Dame of Grace and held the Order's Service Medal. Her husband, Sir Charles M. Watson, K.C.M.G., R.E., was Chairman of the British Ophthalmic Hospital-the title by which our Hospital was then known-from 1912 till his death in 1916. Naturally the work of the Hospital has been seriously affected by the 11

At the same time the cost of food rose, for markets were shut. The Sub-Warden wrote in July, "During the last week or two there has been a concerted effort to tighten up the Arab Strike by methods of intimidation and we have been compelled to buy food whenever and wherever we could get it and shopping has almost been reduced to a matter of smuggling." Before the outbreak of the so-called Arab strike it looked as if our staff were to be busier than ever. The number of patients in February was a record for that month, and in spite of the troubles when the Annexe was opened in August the number of children who came for tr atment varied between 70-100 daily-many of them having to be treated twice in the day. Miss Jones has again taken charge of this exacting work and your Committee would take this opportunity of expressing its gratitude for all she does. It was with satisfaction that your Committee learned that H.M. The King had sanctioned her admission to the Order in the grade of an Officer. This ceaseless round of work from January to December is a violent departure from the practice of the Hospital thirty years ago. The records show that for Christmas and January the Hospital was closed altogether for In-Patients, thus allowing some breathing space for the staff, who could get away for "local" leave without upsetting routine. Owing to the disturbed state of Palestine it was felt that it would be wiser to postpone the issue of an Appeal to Members of the Order until the atmosphere was clearer. Chapter-General, however, has, on the representation of your Committee, passed a Resolution approving :i. The erection of a Paying Patient Block of not less than six 1st Class and four 2nd Class wards. ii. The building of a new O.P. Department and the adaptation of the existing O.P. Department for the treatment of patients by physical therapy processes. iii. The re-adjustment of the wards for patients in the present Hospital building whereby, by the removal of the Nursing Staff and the Registrar into the present Warden's Lodge-or alternatively into a new building-better accommodation will be provided (including an additional theatre) for ordinary patients. iv. The building, if necessary, of a new Warden's Lodge. It was decided to issue the Appeal in January, 1937, for at least £20,000 and your Committee is glad to be able to report that T. M. The King and Queen, H.M. Mary, the Queen Mother, as well as H.R.H. the Grand

JERUSALEM.

Cont.

Prior have all graCIOusly given it their financial support. Your Committee is therefore confident that the Appeal will have a sympathetic and generous response, so that before 1937 has run its course some progress will have been made by laying at least the foundation of the new building. As evidence of the necessity for the Appeal, in 1935 1 the Staff treated 133 Army and R.A.F. personnel (including wives and children), 234 British nationals, including Officials, 536 Palestine Government Officials and employees, 20 British Police and 192 European monks and nuns. For none of these was the Hospital founded. Is is intended that these classes should be treated in the Paying Patient Department for which the Appeal has been issued. It is gratifying to learn that the Military Authorities requested the SubWarden to take charge of all the Ophthalmic work in connection with the troops. In July and August there were 124 such cases. The Order has suffered the loss of about a quarter of an acre of its land owing to a corner of the Upper Field, or olive yard, having been expropriated, without compensation, for road-widening purposes. This was done by the Municipal Authority acting under powers given them by the Amendment Ordinance of 1929, relating to Town-planning. Your Committee is glad to be able to report continued assistance, through their Hospitaller , from the Commanderies of Canada, New Zealand, and Southern Africa. The Viscountess Elibank, D.ST.J., who visited Canada and New Zealand in 1936, took the opportunity of addressing many meetings in both Dominions, kindly arranged for her by enthusiastic members of the Commanderies, when she stirred interest in the Hospital by telling of its work and its high renown. From cotland Mr. J. H. Stevenson has sent his last, we regret to say, subscription list amounting to £27 3s. Od. Your Committee is deeply in his debt for all he has done for the Hospital. The Ladies Linen Guild continues its invaluable support by supplying the needs of the Nur ing Staff and of the patients in Hospital. Its Report which follows this gives details of its activity and an insight into the scope of the help it renders in relieving the finances of the Hospital Committee. Her Majesty Queen 1ary again sent cot covers, worked by herself, for use in the wards. Your Committee takes this opportunity of acknowledging with thanks the following gifts-from Mr. and Mrs. Graham thirty-five guineas for the purchase of an Ophthalmic Diatherm; from Mr. L. J. Bernard £15 15s.; from the St. Patrick Nursing Division in Dublin 5 dozen eye shields made by members of the Division; £10 16s. 3d. from the Birmingham County St. John Ambulance Brigade, collected at their Church Parade ervice; 100 eye badges made by the York City Nursing Cadets; from Captain P. Johnston-Saint an electric sterilizer for the O.P. Theatre; from the Dunedin ursing Division £1 ls.; through Colonel C. H. Milburn a box of books for the Hospital Library from the Harrogate Social Service Centre; £3 11s., Harvest Festival offering in Dinmore Preceptory Chapel through Mr. R . H. Murray; from Mrs. Tweedlle the sum of £12 2s. collected at the Bngaae and V.A.D. camp at Rossall, at the Drumhead Service held on the foreshore at Fleetwood; from the Commissioner, Preston Corps 1

The figures for 1936 are not availa ble at the time of writing.

£6 7s . 4d. the collection at the Annual Church Parade service at St. Paul's Longridge; from Mr. H. H. Hilton a sewing machine for the Nursing Staff; from Lady Jekyll wicker and deck chairs and a tea-table for the Nursing Staff, and £7 lOs. Od. for the purchase of an Ophthalmic Chair from Mrs. Hills who has been a voluntary worker in the Hospital for some months. The Income and Expenditure Account shows that the excess of Expenditure over Income for the year ended 30th September, 1936, was £4,738, compared with £4,052 for the preceding year. This difference is partly due to the receipt of subscriptions from the Commanderies of Southern Africa and Canada and Lady Watson's Jerusalem List arriving too late for inclusion in the accounts for 1935-6. In concluding this Report your Committee would express to the Hospital Staff its special appreciation of their work during a year of exceptional difficulty, one half of which was overshadowed by the Arab Strike coupled with a state of unrest which existed during the whole twelve months and is not yet assuaged. To both Surgical and Nursing taffs and to all helpers in and about the Hospital the Committee on behalf of the Order gives the thanks that are due for steady devotion to duty and for cheerful acquiesence in discomfort and danger when maintaining the prestige of the Hospital and of the Order by carrying on for the benefit of their masters the poor and sick. Since the above Report was written your Committee has learned with the greatest satisfaction that Lady Stratheam has been kind enough to undertake the duties of Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem in succes ion to Lady Watson. No more competent successor could have been found for such onerous work.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE A SOCIATION. The Director of the Ambulance Department and the Ambulance Committee of the Order have the honour to submit the following report of the work of the St. John Ambulance Association for the information of His Royal Highness The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General :His Majesty The Sovereign Head of the Order has been graciollsly pleased to grant his Patronage to the St. John Ambulance Association.

This large increase may be ascribed to three main causes. First, there was a noticeable increase in the demand for instruction at the time of the Italo-Abys inian Dispute: second, the publication by the Government of its scheme for dealing with gas attacks from the air led to a demand for instruction in First Aid; and third, since the Girl Guides Association decided that those of its members who desire to qualify for its First Aid and Home Nursing Badges must obtain certificates of the St. John Ambulance Association or of the British Red Cross ociety, a large number of Girl Guides have taken certificates of the Association. The total number of certificates issued by Centres of the Association Overseas, according to returns so far received, is as follows : 1936. 37,022

Centres, of which there are approximately ten in different parts of the country. Another new feature in connection with instruction i the attempt which is being made, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, to provide facilitie for the instruction of l\1asters of Casual \Vard in First Aid and Home Nur ing. This knowledge will be especially u eful in case where there is no resident doctor, and the Master has to decide whether a case is one which calls for immediate medical attention. First Aid classes are now so thoroughly establi hed in the Polic Forces throughout the country that there is no need to make special reference to them under this heading, except to mention that effort are now being made in London to consolidate arrangements for p riodical " refresher" courses, a matter which has been on trial for a year or two. The Commissioner of Metropolitan Police appreciate the n d for sllch refresher courses, and, with a view to their permanent e tabli hment, a panel of lay-in tructors has been set up in the Force. The ommi ioner intends to take step to ensure the efficiency of the e in tructor , and they will accordingly be assembled annually for tuition by a select d Surgeon Instructor of the St. John Ambulance Association. Thi indication of the importance attached by the authorities at ew cotlanel Yard to a knowledge of First Aid throughout the Force is gratifying. It is satisfactory to find that instruction is increa ingly common at H.M. Prison, classes having recently been formed b the Go\' rnor of Wormwood Scrubs and Brixton, in addition to tho e which are regular features at Leeds, Leicester, \Vakefield, Durham, and Hull. Amongst other interesting classes may be mention d one formed by the Heritage Craft Schools and Home for Cripples, hailey, u ex; the National Children's Home and Orphanage, which has xtended instruction to its Branches in the Provinces, and Convent chool in and around Weston-Super-Mare; classes organized at the Royal aval Cordite Factory, Holton Heath; by the Royal Gunpowder and mall Arms Factory, Enfield Lock; by the London Divi ion, Territorial Army; and by the River Superintendent and Chief Harbour ~ra ter, Port of London Authority. Certificates gained at clas es organized by the Salvation Army were presented at the National lum and Goodwill meeting by the Right Hon. Sir Kingsley \i\Tood, Minister of Health. As regards the Dominions and Colonies Overseas, the Annual Report of the Director of Ambulance of the Commandery of the Order in Canada, whkh is reproduced on page 77, shows that the Canadian Branch of the Association surpassed all previous records, and had a most succe sful year. The same may be said of Southern Africa, as will be seen on reference to the report on page 72. The Report of the Commandery in New Zealand also shows that the Centres in this Dominion are all vigorous. Colonel J. L. Sleeman, the Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, has dealt fully with the position in Southern Africa, ew Zealand, and Australia, in his reports of his recent tour through these Dominions. Abridged reports from the other Centres Overseas are included as usual, and it will be seen that the Indian Branch of the Association has suffered a serious loss through the departure of its Chairman, Sir David Petrie, a Knight of the Order. His successor, Sir Ernest Burdon, also a Knight of the Order, is welcomed. The Indian Branch is extending its

activities, and like Canada, has had a record year as regards the issue of award. The other Centres Overseas, British Guiana, Ceylon, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Malta, and Singapore, continue in activity, the last-mentioned being particularly noticeable. Among clas es overseas, other than those conducted through Centres of the Association, may be mentioned one in Home Jursing for Moslem girl in Port al'd, another for Girl Guides in Trinidad, another in Cairo compo ed of Greek, Ru sian, and French Boy couts. In addition, the enior Medical Officer of the Falkland Islands is trying to arrange classes for r sidents on the various farm settlements in the Falkland Islands; the In pector-General of Police of the Gold Coast ha arranged for the members of hi Force to receive instruction in First Aid; classes have been started in Lagos, i\igeria, and are continuing in British Honduras. In] ama£ca the Con tabular are taking up First Aid with enthusiasm, and at the reque t of H.E. The Governor, who attended and afterwards pre ented certificate and badge of the Association, a First Aid Demonstration was given by qualified members of the Force. In the Sudan also Fir t Aid is being taken up with enthusiasm by the Police. The A sociation has been fortunate in the number of visitors from Overseas who have found time to call at t. John' Gate during the year. They include l\1r. Alpheus \Villiams, Ir. and Mrs. vVatermeyer, and Colonel Horwich from outhern Africa; Colonel and Mrs. Murray MacLaren, and :'Ifr. Cowan from Canada; Dr. A. R. Falconer, the Rev. G. E. l\Ioreton, nIr. Bernard Tripp, Mr . Cope, and Mr. C. J. Pegg, from Tew Zealand; Lord Brabourne, the Hon.

TOUR OVERSEAS.

Colonel J arne L. Sleeman, a Knight of the Order, Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, returned to England in June, having completed his Visitation of the Commanderies in Southern Africa and New Zealand, and his tour of Australia. Colonel Sleeman was able ~o get in to~ch with Centres of the Association and was very favourably lmpressed wlth all that he saw. His report have already been published seP<:trately. In November.. 1936, Colonel Sleeman will leave England agam on a tour of InspectIOn through India, Burma, Ceylon, and Hong Kong. POWELL SPLINT.

A member of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Mr. V. G. Powell, of Banbury, recently produced a collapsible or telescopic splint and ~anded over his idea to the Association. The splint is made of metal m three pieces, which when telescoped can be carried conveniently in the pocket or pouch, and when extended will support any fracture, except one of the thigh.

MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. There are now in England and Ireland 150 Medical Comforts Depots. Of these 19 are operated by Centres of the Association, 121 by Divisions of the Brigade and 10 jointly by the Association and the Brigade. Of these 150 Depots 9 were financed out of the unday Cinema Fund, and 65 out of a fund placed at the disposal of the Order by Mr. Ho I om Tong, both of which funds are now exhausted. FIRST AID COMPETITIONS. Police National Competdion.-The usual Eliminating Competition for the Police Forces of England and Wales was held in each of the 9 Police Districts in January. 111 teams competed, an increa e of 5 on the previous year. . The Final Competition was held at the Central Hall, Westmmster, on the 28th February. The Judges were: for the Team Test, F. E. Bendix, l.R.C .. , L.R.C.P., of London, and for the Individual Tests, A. M. Pollock, M.B., Ch.B., of Tunbridge Wells. The result of the Competition was as follows : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

The prizes were presented by the Right Honourable ir John Simon, the Home Secretary, the chair being taken by Lord Herbert Scott, a Knight of the Order. Sir John Simon said that it was the traditional privilege and the prerogative of every succeeding Home Secretary to attend the annual competition, and to be entrusted with the pleasant duty of giving away the prizes, and he was indeed happy to discharge that pleasant and simple function . He took great pride in his association with the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and Lady Simon, who was a Dame of the Order, had asked him to convey an assurance of her interest in their work, and to express her regret that she was not well enough to attend. RefeHing to the cheers that greeted the announcement of the Metropolitan Police as the winners, Sir John went on :-" I almost thought I was back in the General Election. But, unlike the General Election, there is a prize for everybody, nobody forfeits his deposit, and everybody goes away satisfied. "This has been a most satisfactory demonstration and has given everyone the greatest pleasure. In the name of the whole company I express their congratulations to all the competitors and their satisfaction in this proof of the keenness which the competition induces and the skill which it brings out. It is a great thing that the work of the Order should

be so closely connected with that of the Police. I do not think in every country the uniformed Policeman is directly connected with this work of rescue and First Aid. It is a splendid thing, and taxpayers and ratepayers and citizens of all sorts should realize the fact that the Police Forces of this country, which are the finest in the world, are not only competent to deal with crime and unexpected dan~er cre.ated by violent action; not only perfect masters of the art of restonng qUlet and contentment to disorderly crowds; but that on occasions they can turn their hands so skilfully and successfully to the treatment of people in need of skilled ambulance assistance." Inter-Railway Competition.-The Preliminary Competition for Ungrouped Railways was held at St. John's Gate on the 27th March, and was judged by J. S.

Among others present were Sir Ralph Wedgewood, Chief General Manager of the London & North Eastern Railway, and Sir Herbert Walker, General Manager of the Southern Railway. Mr. Whitelaw paid tribute to the importance of First Aid teaching and the work of the St. John Ambulance Association generally. He said that from the Railway point of view the training of railwaymen in readiness for emergencies and a knowledge of First Aid was considered of the utmost importance, and a debt of gratitude was due from the railways to the Association. Both the Police and the Railway Competition were again splendidly staged, through the continued generosity of Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell,

and the Ambulance Committee of the Order wishes once more to thank ML and Mrs. 1a}..'Well, and ML Joseph Grossman of British International Pictures Ltd., for their continued kind assistance, which contributes very much to the success of the e events. STORES DEPARTME T. The Stores Department has received greater patronage and bu iness has consequently increased: a section to deal with the upplie under the Air Raid Precautions cherne has been added.

CONCLUSION. The work of the Association in all part of the Briii h Empir could not be carried on successfully without the loyal co-operation of the large number of members of the medical profes ion who instruct and xamine its classes, and the honorary official of its Centre and Branche. The Director and the Committee wish once more to expre s their d ep gratitude to all who have laboured in the cause of Fir t Aid during ihe pa t year. ST. JOH AMBULA CE BRIGADE AT HOME. Major-General Sir John Duncan, the Chief Commissioner, report a follows : I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1936. I am again glad to report a very substantial increa e, not only in the strength of the Brigade, but in the numbers of new Divisions. The actual increases of new Divisions and personnel compared with 1935 are as follows : New Divisions. Ambulance Nursing . Cadet Ambulance Cadet Nursing .

From the above it will be seen that the total number of members of the Brigad i 82,038 in thi Jubilee year of its formation. It i a fine te timony to the yalue of the work carried out by the Brigade, and of the interest taken by the members in their duties that these inerea es have become an annual feature of the Chief Commissioner's Report; for no organization could continue to expand so regularly unle s it was boih nece ary and ucce ful in the work it was carrying out. \YOHK OF THE BRIGADE. From the report I have received from the District and County Commissioners, I find that the demands for the services of the Brigade continue to increase, this is particularly in the case of the Air Raid Precautions cl~eme which is dealt with later in the Report. The responsibilities whIch the Brigade has taken on in connection with this latter scheme have added enormously to the work of the Commis ioner and their staff. am satisfied that the standard of efficiency of the Brigade in its First AId work is being maintained. In this connection, I would like to thank the very l~rge numbers (about 2,500) of the Medical Profession who belong to the Bngade for .their self-sacrificing services in training and examining our member '. \Ahthout t~1is assistance the Brigade could not possibly have reached Its pre ent hIgh standard of efficiency. ~he greate t keenness exi ts amongst all ranks for their self-imposed dutIes. The way they have taken up the Air Raid Precautions Scheme a good example of their zeal to assist the public. . That the demands on the members of the Brigade continue to increa e IS best exemplified by the fact that last year the members dealt ¥.rith 614,373 reported cases of accident or sudden illness compared with 599,878 cases dealt with in 1935. All over the country we have established Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts which are usually manned during week-ends and holidays. We ~ave now 213 Roadside Huts and 063 First Aid Post. These figures l11l~strate the great service rendered to the motoring public by the Bngade.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

Many cases have been brought to my notice during the year 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 units is an essential service and I continue to receive from many managers appreciation of the work of our trained personnel, who by their prompt and efficient First Aid have minimized the effects of injuries received in industry. Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics and Welfare Centres, by the members of the Nursing Divisions were 33,163. Particulars of the ervices undertaken by these Divisions will be found in the Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, to whom I am greatly indebted for the most valuable work she has carried out for the efficiency and welfare of the Nursing Divisions. The principal public duty undertaken during the year was in connection with the funeral of His Late l\Iajesty King George V. In London on that occasion the necessary arrangements were carried out by Captain VV. Goodley, M.C., Commissioner, No.1 (Prince of \Vale ) District. OYer 7,735 cases were dealt with in the Metropolis and 416 at Windsor. The personnel for duty for the funeral numbered 4,000 and were drawn from London and the Home Counties. The thanks of His Majesty the King were conveyed in the following message from the Home Secretary : " I am Commanded by the King to express to all members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who "vere on duty in connection with the Funeral of His Late Majesty King George the Fifth yesterday, the entire satisfaction of His Majesty and of Her Majesty Queen Mary with the manner in which their work was carried out. Their Majesties deeply appreciate the services which the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade rendered to the public during the Funeral Procession and They have no doubt that these services contributed largely to the comfort and well-being of the great crowds lining the streets. Yours very sincerely, (Sgd.) JOH SIMON." The thanks of His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, the Grand Prior, on this occasion to the members of the Brigade were conveyed in the following message : " As Grand Prior of the Venerable Order of St. John I wish to express through you to all ranks of the St. J olm Ambulance Brigade the admiration I feel for its work in the cause of humanity. " For fifty years the Brigade has carried out its public duties in clo e co-operation with the Police Forces of the country and during those years has shown its high standard of training, its keenness and its discipline. "This has been more than ever apparent during the past year when its voluntary work was fully tested under the eyes of the public in all the great cities of the Empire during the Silver Jubilee Celebrations. Its London and Home Counties members have been even more severely tested during the past sad days when their work was rendered difficult by the unexpectedly large crowds which gathered in London to do homage to our late beloved King and which resulted in over 7,000

casualties being dealt with by them in the Metropolis and 416 cases at Windsor. « This spirit of voluntary service to which their holidays and spare time are devoted without any cost to the State is appreciated by the public authorities and by those to whom their aid is given, but by those who do not come into close touch with this work it is usually regarded as paid work officially organized and no credit is given by many who if the true facts were more widely known would be its keen supporters. (Sgd.) ARTHUR, Grand Prior." MOTOR AMBULA TCE TRANSPORT. The Brigade continue to fulfil a National need in the prOVISIOn and mainten~lI1ce of il10tor Ambulances. The respon ibility and hard work ent.ailed 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 grealest 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. These 313 mbulances are operat.ed by Corps and Divisions. Ambulances canied 112,001 patients. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. This is the second year of this work undertaken at the request of the Home Office. The period has shown rapid progress, sound development and much increase of work. 1935 was a year of training Instructors ~t~~ the Brigade; 1936 has been a year of training the members of the pIVIsIOn throughout the country; and the coming year will evidently l11volve the training of the general public which will throw increasing strain upon our work in every ,yay. CLASSES OF INSTRUCTION. (a) Instructors.-Seven intensive courses of instruction were held at the Great Central Hotel from midday Saturday to Sunday evening when, for each course, 200 officers from all over the country came up for a series of ten lectures, and from amongst these, several hundred have gained the G.ra?e 1 Instructors' Certificate which the Home Office officially recognizes. Slmllar courses have been held in many provincial centres also over the week-ends. (b~ Doctors.-Not only the medical officers of our Brigade, but doctors outSIde .our Ral!ks have received lectures in many places in Air Raid Precau.tIOns delIvered by lecturers on our Staff. These have been highly apprecIated by the Profession. (c) The ~ank and File of the Brigade.-This has been the prominent work of thls year. Procedure for lectures and examinations has been standardized, and has involved an enormous strain in the administrative side, not only of headquarters, but of all the districts. (~) .General Public.-We have during the year commenced this almost unlImIted task at the request of the Home Office. Municipalities, Rural

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Councils, Business houses, Factories, Harbour Boards, Water Board, etc., etc., are all passed on to us by the Home Office, and our Lecturer and Instructors are being taxed to the utmost, involving in the more energetic counties completely specialized staffs to cope with the extra work. (e) Visits to Areas thro1lghout Britain.-In order to advi e and confer with County Staffs; and also to meet the requests of Municipal ouncils and to inaugurate local campaign of propaganda, and launch cla es for the general public, the Chief Commissioner's taff Officer has visited 38 Centres in all parts of the country. Very full pres reports have shown the value of this propaganda for the Government's scheme.

These figures only represent those who have taken the examination and obtained their certificates, whereas a very much larger number have taken instruction. It is difficult to estimate fully or adequately appreciate the enormou amount of extra work involved by the .R.P. cherne undertaken al the request of the Government. From Headquarter to the r mole rural areas the burden ha been shouldered with that fine pirit characleristic of the Brigade.

of York, Dame Grand Cross of the Order, and Commandant-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and Divisions. I again wish to record my appreciation and grateful thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell, Mr. Clarence Elder, and Mr. Joe Grossman of the Elstree Studios, for their continued generous and practical help in providing the staging, scenery, actors, and actresses, for the various tests; and .to the Tests Committee, Judges, and Stewards, for their valuable serVlces. RESERVES. Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve.-This Reserve continues to be maintained at full strength (1,275) with a long waiting list of names of candidates wishing to' be enrolled. 1,025 ratings attended at Royal Naval Hospitals for Trainings. During the year, volunteers were called for temporary service in the Royal Navy. In his report to the Medical Director-General of the Navy, the Inspecting Medical Officer states, " I consider the R.N.A.S .B. R. to be a well organized, efficient body, of high potential value in emergency." Military Hospital Reserve.-This reserve is well maintained, the number enrolled being 1,746. During the year, 800 reservists attended a week's training in a military hospital. Training reports received in respect of both R.N.A.S .B. R. and M.H.R. reservists were most satisfactory. Voluntary Aid Detachments.~There are 330 St. John Voluntary Aid Detachments registered at the vVar Office, with a total personnel of 7,609, of which 1,732 are enrolled as mobile members. In comparison with 1935, there is an increase of 18 Detachments and 760 member, including 117 mobile members.

CONCLUSION. During the past year the Brigade has increased in numbers, maintained its efficiency and given even greater service to the pub~c .. For this sati~ factory state of affairs my thanks are due to the ComrrusslOners and the)r Staffs, for without their whole-hearted co-operation, such success could not have been accomplished. But it is to the officers and men and women in the Corps and Divisions that my thanks are particularly due, for by giving up their hard-earned leisure to training and public duties they have made the Brigade one of the finest examples of voluntary service in the country.

CADETS. The Cadet Units during the year have increased in a most satisfactory manner and have now reached a total strength of 13,430, being a gain of 993 on the previous year. I attach great importance to maintaining these units in an efficient state and increasing their numbers, for quite apart from the value of a knowledge of First Aid obtained at such an impressionable age, these units are an excellent source of recruiting for the adult Divisions. ACCOUNTS. I must again report that I have been much impressed by the way in which units have collected sufficient funds to pay their way, and great credit is therefore due to all those concerned in collecting funds to enable the valuable work of the Brigade to be carried on. I am deeply grateful to all who have assisted in this important action of our organization, and to the Hon. Treasurers and Hon. Auditors for their valuable services. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT. The continued increase of recognition and encouragement from Municipal Authorities and the Police Authorities in all parts of the country is most encouraging to our personnel.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. Major-General Sir Percival Wilkinson, Director of Ambulance, reports as follows :In the absence of Colonel Sleeman who is engaged on a tour of inspection of units of the Brigade in India, Ceylon, and Hong Kong, I have the honour as acting Chief Commissioner, to submit my report on the work of the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade Overseas for the year ended 31st December, 1936.

It is a matter for ati faction that, for the fir t time for many y ar , I have not to refer in this report to Public Duty perfom1ed by member' of the Brigade Overseas at a major cata trophe. The regular \ ork of the Brigade Over eas has, however, been carried on from day to day and the ab ence of Public Duty carried out in the spectacular condition of a great disaster doc not in any "vay Ie sen the magnitude or importance of the work thus performed. During the year it is estimated that members of the rigad O\'cr ea attended to 94,8;53 cases while on Public Duty, which figure, I think, speaks for itself. DRESS H.EGULATION .

A full report on Colonel Sleeman's visit to Australia appears in the addendum to this report and I have only to add that the sign of progress reported by Colonel Sleeman have b en supported by the formation of seven new Divisions during the year. In the South Australia District much excellent work has been done during the South Australia Centenary Celebrations and on the occasion of the Floral Pageant in connection with the Celebrations over 600 cases were dealt with by members of the Brigade. From New South Wales I learned with much regret of the death of Captain H. J. W. Brennand, Assistant Commissioner on the ~ taff of the New South ~Tales District, after many years spent in the service of the Brigade. In New South Wales instruction in Aid Raid Precautions has been given and over 1,200 members have received preliminary instruction. In Tasmania the newly formed Divisions have consolidated their position and the formation of other units is in progress.

The work of the Brigade in Bermuda is being maintained in the face of much difficulty. Public Duties have been carried out during the year, including service at a railway accident at St. Georges. CANADA.

Th work of the Brigade in Canada in the second full year under the Commandery of the Order in Canada, is showing signs of growth. ix new Divi ions have been formed and the Commandery Commissioner reports that in all parts of the country efforts are being made to form new Div]. ions. CEYLON.

Once again the st.rength of the Ceylon Police Corp shows an increase and there arc now over l,DOO members. l\Iany cases of excellent First id rendered during the year by the members o£ the Corps have again come to light and the Ieritorious First id Certificate of the t. John Ambulance ociation wa awarded to two members of the Corps in 1936, making a total of 5 such certificates i sued to members of the Corps. The work of t.he District wa further advanced by the formation of a Division from among the member of the Colombo Fire Brigade. HO TG KONG.

The Brigade in Hong Kong continues to maintain its strength and efficiency under the leader hip of 1\1r. . 10rri whose interests are entirely devoted to the work of the Order in Hong Kong. The strength of the District has increased by two new Divisions during the year. For the first time the Hong Kong Di trict of the Brigade took part in the King's Birthday Review and wa also asked to provide a Guard of Honour on the occa ion of the visit of the Official Party from Canton. both of which honours were greatly appreciated. I DIA.

It is a matter for great regret that ir David Petrie, hief COffiffiis ioner of the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India, retired during the year. ir David has, during hi term of office, greatly helped forward the work of the Brigade both in strengthening the existing Divisions and in the development of new work. Two new Districts have been formed during the time he was Chief Commissioner and our work has been extended to Burma. The great earthquake disasters at Bihar and Quetta have been the out tanding calls made upon the resources of the Brigade during Sir David Petrie's command and it is a credit to him, as well as to the individual members,. that the Brigade responded so well to the heavy demands made upon It and so ably maintained the traditions o£ the Order. Sir David Petrie has been succeeded as Chief Commis ioner by Sir Ernest Burdon whose co-operation and help I greatly welcome. I am ~lad to be able to report that the All-India Competitions were held dunng ~~e year and fO.r the first time took place at Bombay.

At Bombay also a new note was struck at the annual inspection of the Bombay District by His Excellency The Governor when Purdah women were on parade for the first time in history. The first Voluntary Aid Detachment in India formed from among members of a Nursing Division of the Brigade has been established nt Calcutta. MALTA. There has been an increase in the strength of the Malta District during the year and the members have maintained their services on Public Duty. Great interest has been taken in Malta in Air Raid Precautions Training and during the year 8 Instructor's Grade-2 Certificates and 17 Rank and File Certificates have been issued by St. J ohn's Gate to members of the Malta District. NEW ZEALAND. I am happy to report that the work in New Zealand continues to expand and is in a healthy condition as shown in Colonel Sleeman's report. I was sorry to receive from New Zealand the resignation from active service of Dr. F. J. Borrie, the Officer in charge of the anterbury and West Coast District, and Lieut .-Colonel R. A. H. Fulton, the Officer in charge of the Otago District. Their places have been taken by Major W. Crampton and Lieut.-Colonel H. P. Morey, whom I cordjally welcome to their new posts. The amount of Public Duty undertaken still continues to increase and on a selected Saturday in June a census of the duties performed at port grounds showed that 668 members were on duty who treated on that day 1,500 cases. CYPRUS, KENYA, UGANDA, AND ZANZIBAR. The Police Divisions in the above districts continue to gain in strength and efficiency. During the year many instances have been reported of cases of First Aid dealt with by members of these Divisions often in circumstances of difficulty and danger. An interesting case reported from Kenya was the treatment by a member of the Kenya Police Divi ion of the injuries of Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham who was involved in a motor accident near Moyale.

ASSOCIATION DEPARTMENT. The continued rise in successive years' class results, from a total of 2 500 awards issued in 1919 to 15,837 within 1936, an increa e of <iG on the 1935 figure, indicates that, while classes have been sprin~ing up ~n greater numbers and new directions year .by y~ar, there stIJl rem~n fresh fields in which the potent seeds of FIrst AId and. Home Nursmg instruction have yet to be sown. Such an inference becomes more apparent upon a closer examination of ~he comp~rati~e ta~le of .figures below, which shows an increase of 160 In the semor FIrst AId certIficates and 23 Home Nursing certificates. Further, the total of 956 classes examined or re-examined is 15 more than the 1935 figure. The record of awards gained does not take into account the growing number of cadet members who for the sake of economy are being re-examined for Brigade efficiency in place of the Brigade Surgeon's examination for Preliminary Certificates. Most of the County Councils in Wales include First Aid and Home Nursing in the subjects for study in Evening Continuation Classe Great Western Railway classes in Wales were attended by 3,432 students, of whom 2,992 obtained awards, 54 more than in 1935; and of the 688 students of L.M.S. Railway classes in Wales 606 were successful as compared with 586 for 1936. . Mention might be made of efforts calculated to spread a pra~tIcal knowledge of First Aid and Home Nursing among the membershIp of Women's Institutes and Women's Clubs organized under the South Wales and Monmouthshire Council of Social Service. Though only elementary instruction has been given in these directions, in no way affecting the results shown, there is every possibility that such a preliminary ~ntrod~c tion may implant determination to master thoroughly a subJect WIth which every woman should become familiar. Assistance towards the promotion of Ambulance Work among the unemployed was continued during 1936 by means of a renewal of grant from Priory funds.

It must be a source of encouragement, and at least surprising, to find that the membership of the t. Jolm Ambulance Brigade in Wales, which has been always more highly concentrated in the mining townsso many of which have fallen under the unhappy title of " Special Areas" - hows an increase of 46 on the total strength as at the end of 1935. '\~hile 3G new Divisions were formed in 1936, 4 were disbanded as inactive Units, leaving the following result : Jl.len.

to hospital or home. A total of 1,602 road accidents was attended; and the staffing and maintenance of 5 Roadside First Aid Huts and 78 First Aid Posts and Boxes represents a big contribution of service. Nursing members put in 765 attendances at hospitals and clinics and 520 at Medical Comforts Depots.

RESERVES A D V.A.D. STRENGTH. Members of the l\Iilitary Hospital Reserve within \Vclsh Brigade Units now total 431, an increase of 5 on 1935; and the establishment of Officers and N.C.O's. i complete. Though Reservists in the Royal aval Auxiliary ick Berth Reserve numbered only 12, recruitment cannot be encouraged in view of a long waiting list for enrolment. The number of St. John Voluntary Aid Detachments in \Vales registered at the VVar Office for service in national emergency remain the same, viz. 6 Female and 1 lale, but the aggregate strength ha ri en from 167 to 196. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. The abo,-e reference to "Reserves" leads on to the subject which has been taken up with a somewhat feverish enthusia m a a national responsibility, though much of the Anti-Gas training can be of real service in certain types of industry, quite apart from the ravages of war. Mine workers, for instance, can benefit from in truction in the effect and treatment of gas poisoning; and no doubt this con ideration ha inspired the Superintendents of the six fincs Rescue tations in thc outh Wales Coalfield, who have qualified as Grade 1 A.R.P. Instructors, to devote so much of their time and energies to the training of Brigade Units in their localities. These A.R.P. students have been privileged to take respirator drill and instruction in actual condition . Full advantage was taken of the allotment of invitation to thc sc\'cral Week-end Courses arranged by the hief Commissioner at the Great Central Hotel; while two intensive Cour es of a similar nature were organized in Wales. In Cardiff, accommodation in the ity Hall was placed at the Priory's disposal for the 13th-l"Hh June; and at wansea the Centre Commis ioner arranged a series of lectures at the Civic Centre on the 23rd-24th May. Early in the year Captain S. B. Turner, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., A i tant Commissioner for the Caerphilly County Area, was appointcd Headquarter A.R.P. Staff Officer. Dr. Turner elected to take a course at the Civilian Anti-Gas School, Falfield, as one of six Brigade Officers the Priory was given an opportunity of selecting for attendance from thc 17th to 29th August; and he has been indefatigable in his efforts to promote A.R.P. Instruction within the Brigade in Wales. The showing of the A.R.P. film in 29 cinemas helped to arouse interest in the subject; and the only difficulties impeding progress are (1) a scarcity of recognized Instructors, particularly in some of the counties of orth Wales; and (2) the lack of a sufficient supply of respirators. Nevertheless, there are at present 156 Grade 1 and 165 Grade 2 Instructors on the Priory register, while over 800 A.R.P. certificates were issued during the year. BRIGADE ACTIVITIES. The demands upon the voluntary services of St. John personnel increase with each succeeding year; but the greater the burden the greater seems the zeal and determination of Brigade members. Treatment of 49,825 cases during the year was recorded, of which 2,540 were removed T

BRIGADE CAMPS. A generous grant of £250 from the King George's Jubilee Trust rendered possible the initiation of a Cadet Camp for the Brigade in Wales, which is r corded as an important achievement of the year 1936. Barry Island was selected as the venue, not alone for its popularity as an attractive holiday resort of outh \Vales, but also on account of the excellent facilities afforded by the generosity of the Glamorgan Territorial Army Association in placing half a dozen hutments favourably situated on a headland, in close proximity to a bathing beach, at the disposal of the Priory for this purpo e. From the 8th to the 15th August, the camp was occupied by girl and from the l-th ugust to 3th September by three groups of boy for one week each; and a total of 359 Cadets was fortunate in enjoying the only summer weather of the year in pleasant surroundings, with plentiful good food and ir h air. A considerable amount of instruction wa imparted each morning by means of lecture delivered by experts on a variety of subject, the rest of the day being devoted to games and recrcation. Advantage was taken of equipment purchased for the Cadet Camp to bring to ful1ilment a long cherished desire to organize a holiday and instructional camp for t. John V.A.D. and Nursing members in vVales. A total of 69 Officer and members thoroughly enjoyed a week at the hutments; and though thc work of the ocial Committee added considerably to the success of the Camp, everyone was eager to benefit to the fullest cxtent by the opportunities for increasing efficiency in Fir t Aid and Home ur ing, while a Course in Air Raid Precautions was taken up very thoroughly by the majority, with the result that 17 qualified for A.R.P. and 4. for Grade 2 Certificates. GRANTS FROM SPECIAL AREAS FUND. (1) Uniform and Eqnipment.-Reference was made in the Report for 1935 to the satisfactory result of an application madc to the District Commissioncl for Special Areas (England and Wales), whereby a grant of £5,000 was allocated in specified proportions for expenditure on Uniform and Equipment and First Aid Requisites in respect of totally unemployed meI?bers.. A. final reference to the distribution of this grant will be due for mcluslOn m the report for 1937, as at the close of the year under review a ~alance of £17~ 18s. 7~. remains to be apportioned; but in rendering ~hlS :-eport the Pr.lOry deSIres to take the opportunity of placing on record Its smcerest grah~ude for the inestimable benefit enjoyed by the unemployed membershIp of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the Special Areas of South Wales.

day of the week, especially where a Medical Comforts Depot is associated, serving as headquarters for roadside huts and patrols, public duties, competitive practices, etc., that are carried on at all times in addition to ordinary class work, lectures, and drills. The strength of the Brigade in Wales is preponderantly in the Special Areas; and renewed impetus to the Ambulance Movement was imparted by the announcement in November that a generous grant of £5,000 had been allocated by the Commissioner for the Special Areas to be earned on a £1 for a £1 basis for the purpose of erecting Ambulance Halls in those parts of the Special Areas where Units neither own nor have been able to hire suitable accommodation for their work. ANNUAL INSPECTIO s. The outstanding feature under this heading was the first official visit to the Brigade in \Vales paid by the Chief Commi ioner of the Brigade Overseas, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M .G., C.B.E., M.V.O., who, on the 27th June, inspected a parade of over 1,500 men, women , and cadet of the Monmouthshire Centre at Tredegar Park, where the entre President and Almoner for Wales, the Viscount Tredegar, provided ho pitality for a large number. Fourteen inspections were conducted by the Commissioner for Wales, four by the Assistant Commissioner for \Vales, and the Assistant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for Wales attended seven. SERVICE MEDALS AND BARS. The issue of Medals and Bars during 1936 brings the number of recipients of Medals within Wales to 579, the holders of first Bars to 274, second Bars to 83, third Bars to 9, while one Officer is in possession of a fourth Bar. COMPETITIONS. The presentation of nine trophies during 1936 brings the number of cups and shields vested in the Trustees of the Priory for annual ambulance competition to 123, valued at £2,516 13s. and insured at an annual cost of £22. The Final Competitions for the Brigade in 'Vales were held on the 4th April, in the dignified surroundings of the City Hall, generously placed at the Priory's disposal for the purpose by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman G. F. Evans, J.P.), who with the Lady Mayoress presented the trophies. The Llanelly Nursing Team once again secured the (( Arthur Griffiths Memorial" cup for the Carmarthenshire Centre; and the " Llandinam " shield was won for the Glamorgan County Centre by the Kenfig Hill Ambulance Team. In the Inter-Railway Competition organized by the Priory for Railway Companies operating in Wales, the "Harry Webb" cup was won at Cardiff on the 1st December by the Brynmawr L.M. & S. Railway team. At the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, Fishguard, where Ambulance Competitions organized by the Priory figured as usual in the programme, the" Lady Lewis" and (( Lady Bute" cups were won by the Brecknockshire Police and Llanelly Nursing Teams respectively; and the (( Trevethin ", (( Silurian", (( Isca ", and "Gwent" shields, open to teams of qualified men, women, boys, and girls, were won by the

MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. A total of 5,287 articles were issued from 43 of the 52 Depots operating under the Priory. MOTOR AMBULA CE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Service was extended in February, 1936, through the establishment of a new Station at Aberdare, which dealt with the removal of 539 cases to 31st December. The increase of 2,398 cases and 30,557 miles on the 1935 figures and the advancing results of succeeding years emphasizes the growing importance of the work consequent not only upon the rising number of road accidents but also upon the growth of hospital and nursing facilities providing means for the bet~er t~eatment of the sick and injured than can be obtained at home, which IS largely responsible for the greater mobility of the invalid. In 1936, 16,236 cases were carried, involving 279,535 miles. A further grant of £1,000 was received from the Miners' Welfare Fund; and the Priory gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to such arn:ual grants for the extension of the Service, which now consists of 18 StatIons and 22 Cars. STORES DEPARTMENT. The sale of 4,226 textbooks is an increase of 78 on the 1935 issue. In addition, 2,829 A.R.P. publications were sold. Advantage was taken of an opportunity of displaying First Aid outfits and requisites afforded by the South Wales Institute of Engineers' annual Exhibition held in Cardiff in November. An increase in the year's sales, however, is due to the grant received from the Special Areas Fund whereby £2,513 7s. 5d. was expended on uniform and £266 15s. 2d. on First Aid requisites. APPOINTMENTS. By the lamented death of His late Majesty King George the Fifth, and the accession to the throne of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Priory was automatically bereft of the privilege enjoyed since its inception in 1918 when H.R.H. the Prince of Wales was graciously pleased to accept the office of Prior. Grateful references to the outstanding services rendered by His Royal Highness were recorded at Meeting of

Chapter on the 26th June, when the following resolution was passed : " That the most loyal and grateful thanks of this Chapter be accorded to its late Prior while Prince of Wales, for hi illustrious and eminent services to the Priory from 1918 to 1936; and that this resolution be respectfully submitted to His Majesty." Hi Royal Highness's ~ervices did not cease with the performance of the duties of the office for he had been pleased to take steps in advance, at the time when H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent accepted appointment as Lady Superintendent-inChief for Wales, to secure the succession of a Member of the Royal Family to his office when vacated; and on Friday, 26th June, the announcement of the appointment of H.R.H. the Duke of Kent wa received with acclamation. VISIT OF H.R.H. THE PRIOR.

A most enthusiastic welcome was accorded to H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, K.G., K.T., on his first visit as Prior, on Friday, Gth )Jovember, when members of the Order on the Roll of the Priory and certain repre entative persons were summoned to a meeting of General Assembly at which His Royal Highness held an Investiture. In responding to an address of welcome from the Sub-Prior, the Earl of Plymouth, P.C., the Prior said: " My wife, who is the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for the Principality, and I look forward to a long and happy as ociaiion with you in promoting the humanitarian work of the Venerable Order through the only Priory that as yet exists in the British Empire". Under nch favourable auspices, the Priory can look forward with confidence to a progressive future. His Royal Highness having indicated a readine s to attend a ball in aid of a Cardiff Charity, it became the privilege of the City of Cardiff Centre of the Priory to organize a function worthy of such an occa ion; and a brilliant function arranged by a Committee under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman G. F. Evans, J.P.), the Centre President, was attended by over 800 guests at the City Hall on Thursday, 5th November. THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery : VISITATION.

His Excellency The Knight Commander received the following gracious message from His Royal Highness The Grand Prior : Arthur, GRAND PRIOR.

"I have received with much satisfaction the R eport of Colonel J. L.

There has been a notable increase in the Brigade personnel dunng the vear; all Officers' Warrants are now made out at Headquarters instead of at St. John's Gate; each year brings an increase in the number of appointment, applications for the Order's Service Medal, and other awards, and member hip of the Order has been considerably augmented. All this ha brought a \'ery considerable increa e in the ~ork. at the Commandery Headquarters, and more spacious acco~modatIon .IS bac:UY needed. In addition there has been much extra work m connectIon Wlth the outh African Contingent which will attend the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in London in May, 1937. The economic depression prevented any action in this direction, but it is very gratifying to record that a start has now been made. .

The Commandery Chapter again records its sincere appreciation and thanks to all Officers and members of the St. John Ambulance Association and Brigade who have given such excellent service. The current Report of the Director of Ambulance and Commandery Commissioner show that much time and labour have been cheerfully sacrificed in furthering the humanitarian objects of the Order, that most commendable progress has been made, and that a creditable high standard had been maintained.

COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND.

There were 7,236 awards issued during the year under review-an increase of 1,539, or 21·36 per cent over the previous year's work. Afrikaans classes made good progress and resulted in the formation of several Afrikaans-speaking Divisions. The attention of Centres was drawn to the necessity for a full 12 honrs' instruction at all classes. Generally, it has been found that this is best accomplished by eight periods of it hours duration, although in a large . percentage of cases the lectures are considerably extended. Considerable instruction in Air Raid Precautions has been gIVen throughout the year and will be dealt with intensively as soon as the responsible authorities-who have the matter in hand-advise their requirements. Generally, the instructional work of St. John has made very sati factory progress during the year under review, and I wish to record my heartie t thanks to all Officers of Centres and Centre Committees for their admirable efforts in the furtherance of the work of St. John.

In recognition of the services rendered by members of the Nursing Divisions in assisting in street collections for the hospital funds the Johannesburg Hospital authorities have signified their intention of endowing a bed in the New Centre Block in the name t. John Ambulance. The various hospital committees and staffs throughout the country invariably give every assistance to members of Nursing Divisions to attend for duty at their hospitals and thus add to their knowledge of nursing duties, and this valuable training is very much appreciated. The Brigade in Southern Rhodesia has been augmented by two new Ambulance Divisions comprised of members of the British South African Police. " The Rhodesia District " has been formed, and includes the Rhodesia Railways District. The Brigade Annual Competitions for the " Selborne " and " Hewat " hields and the" Florence Thompson" Rose-Bowl were held in Bloemfontein on 23rd November, 1936, and the judges expressed great satisfaction with the high standard of work shown. In order to stimulate further interest in this valuable training, the Commandery Commissioner is presenting a trophy for the best individual marks in the" Selborne" hield contest for Ambulance Divisions. The personnel of the Brigade shows a further gratifying increase during the year under review, especially in the Transvaal. A large number of congratulatory messages are received in connection with the voluntary services rendered by members of the Brigade, and there is increasing evidence of the appreciation of the work so efficiently rendered " Pro U til-itale H ominum " . It is a great pleasure for me to record my sincere appreciation and grateful thanks to Colonel E. H. Cluver, Director of Medical Services, for kindly carrying out the duties of Surgeon-in-Chief during the absence of Colonel ir Edward N. Thornton, K.B.E., in England, and to all Officers in Charge of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions for their loyal co-operation throughout the year under review.

ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE. The Director of Medical Services, Colonel E. H . Cluver, accompanied by General Collyer, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Acting Commandery Commis ioner, carried out the Brigade Annual Inspection of all Ambulance and :N"ur ing Divisions in the Peninsula at The Castle, Cape Town. There was an excellent muster of all ranks, and the Inspecting Officers expressed great satisfaction with the high standard of efficiency shown. The inspection of all Divisions of the Transvaal and .A.R. and H. Districts on the Reef area was conducted by Major-General A. J. E. Brink, D.S.O., D.T.D., Secretary for Defence, at the vVanderers Ground, Johannesburg. This was one of the most imposing parades the Brigade has held, and the staging was carried out admirably. At the conclusion of the Review, General Brink addressed the Brigade in Afrikaans and English, heartily congratulating all ranks on their splendid efficiency, and expressing his pleasure that such a large number of Afrikaans-speaking members were taking part in such a worthy cause. The Commandery Commissioner personally conducted the inspection at Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Kimberley, and was much impressed by the general standard of efficiency exhibited, and the large amount of voluntary service which the members are rendering throughout the country. The inspections of outlying Divisions were carried out by the Officers in Charge of the respective Districts and show that the work of St. John in these areas is being fully maintained. The Empire Exhibition in Johannesburg called for strenuous efforts in providing all day duty for some months, and every praise is due to Lieut.-Colonel G. E. Peacock, Commissioner of the Transvaal District (who was in charge of the arrangements) and his able and energetic band of workers from the Transvaal and the Railways District for the admirable manner in which this great effort was carried out-without a hitch and in addition to the usual public duties. During the first two months over 3,000 cases (including fractures, lacerated wounds and even snake-bites) were treated. During the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the City of Johannesburg the Brigade provided First Aid Posts and Dressing Stations at all street

COMMANDERY IN

Arrangements were made for Lady Elibank to meet members of the Association and Brigade in 1\Iontreal, Toronto, Fort William, \Vinnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Vancouver, and Victoria. In several places the trophies and awards won in the Dominion Competitions were presented by Lady Elibank, and in British Columbia she opened the first of a series of First Aid Posts to be established on the Pacific Highway. At each meeting the Viscounte s delivered a me sage of greeting from the Sub-Prior, and her visit afforded a great deal of pleasure and encouragement to those who are working for the Order of t. John, both in the Association and the Brigade. The annual meeting of the Commandery-Chapter for the year 1936, followed by an Investiture, was held on 2nd June at Government Hou e, Ottawa, when His Excellency Lord Tweed muir, the Knight-Commander, pre ided. There has been a substantial increase in the work of the Order in Canada, with new fields developing, such as the gold mining areas in the northern parts of Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba. It is intere ting to note that several of the largest companies have made Fir t Aid training for men working underground compulsory. One company trained 2,000 men, all of 'vvhom were required to obtained the certificate. The first course was given at the co~pany's expense and those failing were forced to take a second course in their own time. The Brigade has increased in number by 20 per cent, but pcrhap the most interesting feature is the increase and variety of public dutie performed. Studies are being made with a ,riew to necessary chan<Ycs and greater activity. The HospitaUer and Almoner's report shows that $81 ,1 wa ubscribed by members and friends of the Order towards the maintenance of the Ophthalmic Hospital of St. John in Jerusalem. ST.

Summary oj Awards. During 1936 there were 25,373 certificates and awards issued, an increase of 2,790 over the previous year. The greatest increase has been in the senior certificates, but a healthy increase is noted in both Junior First Aid and Junior Horne Nursing. An encouraging sign is the larger number of medallions, labels, and pendants awarded, showing a sustained interest in the work and a desire to maintain efficiency.

Provincial Branches. The various Provincial Branches are functioning well and cases have shown increases over previous years.

The (( Mountgarret " Trophy was awarded to George Harrison, Captain of the Bell Telephone Co., team No.1, of Montreal, who was first among 88 competitors. The Dominion Championship in First Aid (Men) went to the Canmore Coal Co., team No.1, of Canmore, Alberta, which headed a list of 48 entries. In the First Aid Competitions (Women) the championship went to the Ladies First Aid team of outh Wellington, B.C., and the highest score for the (( Lady Drummond" Cup for Horne Nursing was made by the Saskatoon Nursing Division, TO. 7 St. J.A.B.O.

Firr:{ Aid Posts. During the year the First Aid Po ts on No. 2 Highway in Ontario and Quebec, originally established in 1934 and maintained in 1935 by the Ontario Motor League, the St. John Ambulance Association, and the Canadian Red Cross ociety, were turned over to the Provincial Branches of Ontario and Quebec, by whom they were financed. In Ontario the number of posts has been increased by twelve in the Hamilton and iagara Peninsula area. In Quebec everal posts were established on the teo Agathe Highway each week-end during the skiing season and the work was carried on by the members of the Montreal Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. The British Columbia Branch, working with the Provincial Branch of the Canadian Red Cross ociety, has established several Posts at selected points known to be dangerous. ST. JOH

AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

The Officers of the Commandery are glad to report an increase in numbers in the Brigade and a ubstantial increase in the number and value of public duties performed. During the year Corps were formed in 10ntreal, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Toronto. It is anticipated that as a result the work of the Divisions in these cities will be co-ordinated and increased. Two new Ambulance Divisions and three new Nursing Divisions have been formed during the year, the lists of all Divisions have been checked and the names of those who had been inefficient for three years or more struck off strength. Therefore, while new Divisions have been formed, the increase in numbers is not great, but the figures as given represent an active and interested group of men and women. The Commandery Commi sioner visited every district in Canada during the year and inspected all Divisions personally. It is most satisfactory to report that on nearly every occasion the Divisions paraded in full strength and gave evidence of keen interest and efficiency in both drill and demonstrations. Greater activity has been shown in the matter of public duty in the larger cities, where, of course, more opportunities for service offer. otable among these was the attendance of the Brigade at the lying-in-state and obsequies of the late Brother Andre in Montreal, when more than 500

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

cases were treated and a total of 545 hours' service was given by Officers and members of the seven Divisions comprising the Corps in that city. In Vancouver excellent service has been given at the public bathing beaches, where a specially trained group is on duty, and many Divisions in all provinces are assisting with the work of First Aid tations in the mountains during the skiing season, and on the highways, as well as maintaining the usual excellent work at exhibitions, etc. The Commandery Commissioner was instructed to organize teams from Canada to attend the Jubilee Celebrations in London in May, 1937, and financial assistance was authorized by the Commandery. THANKS AND APPRECIATION.

The Commandery desires to thank the press throughout Canada for the generous publicity given to the activities of both the St. John Ambulance Association and the St. John Ambulance Brigade during the past year. The thanks of the Commandery are also extended to all Officers and Members of Branches and Centres of the St. John Ambulance ssociation; to the medical practitioners who have acted as lecturers and eAaminer and to certificated instructors and demonstrators for the time and ervice they have given to the work; and to the Officers and :l\1embers of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the excellent service rendered throughout the year.

Cookery Priory for "Vales

This large increase may be ascribed to three main causes. First, there was a noticeable increase in the demand for instruction at the time of the Halo-Abyssinian dispute: second, the publication by the Government of its scheme for dealing with gas attacks from the air led to a demand for instruction in First Aid; and third, since the Girl Guides Association decided that those of its members who desire to qualify for its First Aid and Home Nursing Badges must obtain certificates of the St. John Ambulance Association or of the British Red Cross Society, a large number of Girl Guides have taken certificates of the Association. The total number of certificates issued by Centres of the Association Overseas, according to returns so far received, is as follows : 1935. 43,241 plus 3,820

Apart from these classes, which are held as and where necessary, the Association has arranged with the Ministry of Labour to hold classes in Preliminary First Aid at the Ministry's Unemployment Instructional Centres, of which there are approximately ten in different parts of the country. Another new feature in connection with instruction is the attempt which is being made, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, to provide facilities for the instruction of Masters of Casual Wards in First Aid and Home I ursing. This knowledge will be especially useful in cases where there is no resident doctor, and the Master has to decide whether a case is one which calls for immediate medical attention. First Aid classes are now so thoroughly established in the Police Forces throughout the country that there is no need to make special reference to them under this heading, except to mention that efforts are now being made in London to consolidate arrangements for periodical " refresher" courses, a matter which has been on trial for a year or two. The Commissioner of Metropolitan Police appreciates the need for such refresher courses, and, with a view to their permanent establishment, ~ panel of lay-instructors has been set up in the Force. The Commissioner mtends to take steps to ensure the efficiency of these instructors, and they will accordingly be assembled annually for tuition by a selected Surgeon Instructor of the St. John Ambulance Association. This indication of the importance attached by the authorities at New Scotland Yard to a knowledge of First Aid throughout the Force is gratifying.

fHE ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE A

SOCIATION.

It is satisfactory to find that instruction is increasingly common at H.M. Prisons, classes having recently been formed by the Governors of Wormwood Scrubs and Brixton, in addition to those which are regular features at Leeds, Leicester, Wakefield, Durham, and Hull. Amongst other interesting classe may be mentioned one formed by the Heritage Craft Schools and Home for Cripples, Chailey, ussex; the National Children's Home and Orphanage, which has extended instruction to its Branches in the Provinces, and Convent chools in and around Weston-Super-Mare; classes organized at the Royal aval Cordite Factory, Holton Heath; by the Royal Gunpowder and mall Arms Factory, Enfield Lock; by the London Division, Territorial Army; and by the River Superintendent and Chief Harbour Master, Port of London Authority. Certificates gained at clas e organized by the Salvation Army were pre ented at the National lum and Goodwill meeting by the Right Hon. ir Kingsley vVood, Mini t er of H altho As regards the Dominions and Colonies Over ea ,the nnual R eport of the Director of Ambulance of the Commandery of the Order in Cal/ada, which is reproduced on page 28, show that the Canadian Branch of th Association surpassed all previous records, and had a most succes ful year. The same may be said of So'uthern Africa, as will be seen on ref renee to the report on page 28. No report ha been received from the Commandery in New Zealand, but individual reports from centre in the Dominion indicate that the activities of the Association are being maintained. Colonel J. L. leeman, the Chief Commi ioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, has dealt fully with the position in Southern Africa, New Z eala1ld, and Australia, in his reports of his recent tour through these Dominions. bridged reports from the other Centres Overseas, are included as usual, and it will be seen that the Indian Branch of the As ociation has suffered a serious loss through the departure of its Chairman, ir David Petrie, a Knight of the Order. His successor, Sir Ernest Burdon, al 0 a Knight of the Order, is welcomed. The Indian Branch is extending its activities, and like Canada, has had a record year as regards the issue of awards. The other Centres Overseas, British Guiana, Ceylon, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Malta, and Singapore, continue in activity, the last-mentioned being particularly noticeable. Among classes overseas, other than those conducted through Centres of the Association, may be mentioned one in Home Nursing for Moslem girls in Port Said, another for Girl Guides in Trinidad, another in Cairo composed of Greek, Russian, and French Boy Scouts. In addition, the Senior Medical Officer of the Falkland Islands is trying to arrange classes for residents on the various farm settlements in the Falkland Islands; the Inspector-General of Police of the Gold Coast has arranged for the members of his Force to receive instruction in First Aid; classes have been started in Lagos, Nigeria, and are continuing in British Honduras. In J amaica the Constabulary are taking up First Aid with enthusiasm, and at the request of H .E. The Governor, who attended an"d afterwards presented certificates and badges of the Association, a First Aid Demonstration was given by qualified members of the Force . In the Sudan also First Aid is being taken up with enthusiasm by the Police.

COLO EL SLEEMAN'S

TOUR OVERSEAS.

The Association has been fortunate in the number of visitors from Overseas who have found time to call at St. John's Gate during the year. They include Mr. Alpheus Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Watermeyer, and Colonel Horwich from Southern Africa; Colonel and Mrs. Murray lacLaren, and Mr. Cowan from Canada; Dr. A. R. Falconer, the Rev. G. E. Moreton, Mr. Bernard Tripp, Mrs. Cope, and Mr. C. J. Pegg, from Tew Zealand; Lord Brabourne, the Hon. Malik Sir Firoz Khan Noon, and Colonel Thurston from India; Commander R. Griffiths-Bowen, l\Irs. Robertson, Mrs. A. A. Simpson, Mrs. Greenway Middows, Mr. W. J. lackay, and Mr. Ferguson, from Australia; Sir William Shenton, Dr. Moore, and Mr. Ralston, from Hong Kong; Dr. Webster, from ingapore; Lieut.-Col. H. W. Bamford, and Dr. Duff, from the Gold Coast, and Captain Quinlan from the Sudan. COLO EL SLEEMAI

TOUR OVERSEAS.

Colonel James L. leeman, a Knight of the Order, and Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, returned to England in June, haying completed his i itation of the Commanderies in Southern Africa and New Zealand, and his tour of Australia. Colonel Sleeman was able to get in touch with Centres of the Association and was very favourably impressed with all that he saw. His reports have already been published separately. In November, 1936, Colonel Sleeman will leave England again on a tour of Inspection through India, Burma, Ceylon, and Hong Kong. POWELL SPLINT.

A member of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Mr. V. G. Powell, of Banbury, recently produced a collapsible or telescopic splint and ~landed ov~r his idea to the Association. The splint is made of metal In three pIeces, which when telescoped can be carried conveniently in the pocket or pouch, and when extended will support any fracture, except one of the thigh. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

There are now in England and Ireland 150 Medical Comforts Depots. Of these ~9 are operated by Centres of the Association, 121 by Divisions of the Bngade and 10 jointly by the Association and the Brigade. Of these 150 Depots 9 were financed out of the Sunday Cinema Fund, and 65 out of a fund placed at the disposal of the Order by Mr. Ho Kom Tong, both of which funds are now exhausted. FIRST AID COMPETITIONS.

Police N~tional Competition.-The usual Eliminating Competition for the Pollee Forces of England and Wales was held in each of the 9 Police Districts in January. 111 teams competed an increase of 5 ' on the previous year. The Final Competition was held at the Central Hall, Westminster, on the 28th February.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE ASSOCIATION.

The Judges were: for the Team Test, F. E. Bendix, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., of London, and for the Individual Tests, A. M. Pollock, M.B., Ch.B., of Tunbridge Wells. The result of the Competition was as follows : 1.

The prizes were presented by the Right Honourable ir John Simon, the Home Secretary, the chair being taken by Lord Herbert Scott, a Knight of the Order. . . . . Sir John Simon said that it was the tradItIOnal pnvilege and the prerogative of every succeeding Home ecretary to attend ~h~ annual competition, and to be entrusted with the pleasant duty of gIVIng away the prizes, and he was indeed happy to discharge that pleasant and simple function. He took great pride in his association with the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and Lady Simon, who w~s a Dam~ of th.e Order, had asked him to convey an assurance of her mtere t In theIr work, and to express her regret that she was not well enough to attend. Referring to the cheers that greeted the announcement of the Metropolitan Police as the winners, Sir John went on :-" I almost thought I was back in the General Election. But, unli.ke t~e Gener.al Election, there is a prize for everybody, nobody forfeIts hIS depOSIt, and everybody goes away satisfi~d. . . "This has been a most satIsfactory demonstratIOn and has gl\'en everyone the greatest pleasure. In the name. of the who~e cOI?pan~ I express their congratulations to ~ll the competI.t?rs ~nd theIr satI [actI~n in this proof of the keenness whIch the competItIOn Induces and the skIll which it brings out. It is a great thing that the work of the Order should be so closely connected with that of the Police. I do not think in every country the uniformed Policeman is directly connected with this work of rescue and First Aid. It is a splendid thing, and taxpayers and ratepayers and citizens of all sorts should realize the fact that the Police Forces of this country, which are the finest in the world, are not only competent to deal with crime and unexpected dan~er cre.ated by violent action; not only perfect masters of the art of restonng qUIet and conten~ ment to disorderly crowds; but that on occasions they can turn theIr hands so skilfully and successfully to the treatment of people in need of skilled ambulance assistance." I nter-Railway Competition .-The Preliminary Competition for Ungrouped Railways was he~d at St. John's Gate on the ?7th March, <l:nd was judged by J. S. DaVIes, M.B., C.M., of London, WIth the follOWIng result : -

The distribution of prizes was presided over by Lieut.-General Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, Chancellor of the Order, and the Ch~e?ge Shield, Corbet Fletcher Cup, and prizes were presented by Mr. WIlliam Whitelaw, Chairman of the London & North Eastern Railway. Among others present were Sir Ralph Wedgewood, Chief General Manager of the London & North Eastern Railway, and Sir Herbert Walker, General Manager of the Southern Railway. . . , Mr. Whitelaw paid tribute to the importance of FIrst AId teachmg and the work of the St. John Ambulance Association generally. He said that from the Railway point of view the training of railwaymen in readiness for emergencies and a knowledge of First Aid was considered of the utmost importance, and a debt of gratitude was due from the railways to the Association. Both the Police and the Railway Competition were again splendidly staged, through the continued generosity of Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell, and the Ambulance Committee of the Order wishes once more to thank Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, and Mr. Joseph Grossman of British International Pictures Ltd., for their continued kind assistance, which contributes very much to the success of these events. STORES DEPARTMENT. The Stores Department has received greater patronage and business has consequently increased: a section to deal with the supplies under the Air Raid Precautions Scheme has been added. INVALID TRANSPORT CORPS. The year shows an improvement, the return being the best for some years past. This is attributed to the acquisition of a new ambulance.

PROMOTIONS, ADMISSIONS, ETC.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

ST. PAUL'S FIRST AID STATION. The Station is situated at the south-west corner of St. Paul's Cathedral, and is maintained throughout the year, including undays. There was a decrease of nearly 200 in the number of cases treated, which amounted to 895. Of these 53 cases were taken to hospital, the remainder being able to return home or to their occupations. CONCLUSION. The work of the Association in all parts of the British Empire could not be carried on successfully without 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 the Committee wish once more to expres their deep gratitude to all who have laboured in the cause of First Aid during the past year. RECOGNITION OF SERVICE . The following Promotions, Admissions, and Attachments, recommended by Chapter-General and approved by the Grand Prior, ha\'e been sanctioned by His Majesty the Sovereign Head in recognition of valuable services to the Ambulance Department, and otherwi e carrying out the objects of the Order. KNIGHTS A D DAMES OF THE ORDER. The new Charter of 1936 was received at the meeting of ChapterGeneral held on Friday, 17th July, 1936. Under this Charter the old Grades of Knight of Justice and Knight of Grace, and Dame of Ju tice and Dame of Grace, were merged into Knights and Dames of the Order. The former distinction between these Grades will in future be shown in the Roll of the Order by the initial placed before their names of " J " denoting Knight or Dame of Justice, and" G" denoting Knight or Dame of Grace. I t is necessary to show these distinctions as certain privileges still appertain to Knights of Justice who have proved their genealogical and armorial qualifications to the satisfaction of the Genealogist.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal Secretary for Wales. ASSOCIATION DEPARTMENT.

The continued rise in successive years' class results, from a total of 2,500 awards issued in 1919 to 15,837 within 1936, an increase of 46 on the 1935 figure, indicates that, while classes have been springing up in greater numbers and new directions year by year, there still remain fresh fields in which the potent seeds of First Aid and Home Nursing instruction have yet to be sown. Such an inference becomes more apparent upon a closer examination of the comparative table of figures below, which shows an increase of 160 in the senior First Aid certificates and 23 H ome Nursing certificates. Further, the total of 956 classes examined or re-examined is 15 more than the 1935 figure. The record of awards gained noes not take into account the growing number of cadet members who for the sake of economy are being re-examined for Brigade efficiency in place of th e Brigade Surgeon's examination for Preliminary Certificates. ~lost of the County Councils in \Vales include First Aid and Home Nursing in the subjects for study in Evening Continuation Classes. Great \Vestern Railway cla ses in Wales were attended by 3,432 student, of whom 2,992 obtained awards, 54 more than in 1935; and of the 688 students of L.11.S. Railway classes in \Vales 606 were successful as compared with 586 for 193 . :'Iention might be made of efforts calculated to spread a practical knowledge of First Aid and Home Nursing among the membership of \Vomen's Institutes and Women's Clubs organized under the South Wales and lonmouthshire Council of Social Service. Though only elementary instruction has been given in these directions, in no way affecting the results shown, there is every possibility that such a preliminary introductiOl!- may implant determination to master thoroughly a subject with \vhlch every woman should become familiar. Assistance towards the promotion of Ambulance Work among the unemployed was continued during 1936 by means of a renewal of grant from Priory funds. CERTIFICATES AND AWARDS GAINED.

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM CENTRES.

THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

In the First Aid Competitions (Women) the championship went to the Ladies First Aid team of South Wellington, B.C., and the highest score for the" Lady Drummond" Cup for Home Nursing was made by the Saskatoon Nursing Division, No.7 St. J.A.B.O.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery:The Commandery has every reason to be proud of a record year. The summary of awards issued shows an all-round increase in the various awards issued by the respective Centres of the Association. There were 7,236 awards issued during the year under review-an increase of 1,539, or 21'36 per cent over the previous year's work. Afrikaans classes made good progress and resulted in the formation of several Afrikaans-speaking Divisions. The attention of Centres was drawn to the necessity for a full 12 honrs' instruction at all classes. Generally, it has been found that this is best accomplished by eight periods of 1t hours duration, although in a large percentage of cases the lectures are considerably extended. Considerable instruction in Air Raid Precautions has been given throughout the year and will be dealt with intensively as soon as the responsible authorities-who have the matter in hand-advise their requirements. . Generally, the instructional work of St. John has made very sabsfactory progress during the year under review, and I wish to record my heartiest thanks to all Officers of Centres and Centre Committees for their admirable efforts in the furtherance of the work of St. John.

First Aid Posts. During the year the First ~id Po~ts on No . 2 Hig:hway in .Ontario and Quebec, originally establIshed m 1934 and mamtamed m. 1.935 by the Ontario Motor League, the St. John Ambulance ASsoCl~h~n, and the Canadian Red Cross Society, were turned over to the ProvlDclal Branches of Ontario and Quebec, by whom they were financed. In Ontario the number of posts has been increased by twelve in the Hamilton and Niagara Peninsula area. In Quebec several posts were established on the Ste. Agathe .Highway each week-end during the skiing season and the work was carned on by the members of the Montreal Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. The British Columbia Branch, working with the Provincial Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society, has established several Posts at selfcted points known to be dangerous.

THE COMMANDERY IN CANADA.

ABRIDGED REPORTS FROM CENTRES.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery :-

Summary of A wards. During 1936 there were 25,373 certificates and awards issued, an increase of 2,790 over the previous year. The greatest increase has been in the senior certificates, but a healthy increase is noted in both Junior First Aid and Junior Home Nursing.

I t is plea ing to record that the centre ha had a \'ery satisfactory year, and interest in the work continue The number of classes held throughout the system constitute a record, and no less than 121 teams entered the annual competitions. It. was very gratifying to the Directors and Officers of the Company and t.he members of the centre generally to realize that the two teams representing the Southern R ailway in the Inter-Railway competition w re succes ful in securing the first and second positions. This ~s the ele:renth oc~asion on which teams representing the outhern Railway or Its constIt.uent Companies have obtained the shield during the past sixteen year. It is also interesting to record that since the formation of the Centre 2,755 medals have been issued to the staff in recognition of their passing 7 examinations in succession, 967 silver medals for passing 1 1 consecutive examinations, and 49 7 gold medals to candidates who have passed 21 successive examinations. Seventeen members have received awards for 30 years' service. The number of cases of first aid receiving treatI?ent is evidence of the fact that the training is put to excellent use. ExceptIOnal cases of first aid rendered are recognized by the issue of the Centre Certificate for meritorious service, and a number of these have been awarded during the past session. The equipment and maintenance of first aid appliances at stations is a m atter that received special attention . RAILWAY.

In its fifty-first annual report the centre reports an incre~se ADelAIDE. of 9 classes, which include two for the South AustralIan Transport Incorporated. The Government has again recognized the

work being done by the Centre, and has repeated its grant to the funds. The grant covers the fees for Government employees who join the classes, and as the number of these candidates is increasing a request has been made to the Government to increase the grant now paid. The Centre had the pleasure of meeting Colonel J.. L. Sleeman, C.B ., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., when in 1935 he visited Australia and New Zealand. The centre records with profound regret the death of the late Stat.e Governor, ir Murray Anderson, K.C.B., R.C.M.G. , M.V.O., who with Lady Anderson, had both granted their Patronage to the Centre. The Centre also sustained a great loss by the death of SurgeonCaptain H. J. W. Brennand, R. ., Colonel J. S. Purdy,. D.S.O., and ~he Reverend T. Terry. Great activity has been evidenced l~ the !ormatIon of classes during the year, the total number formed bemg. 6;)2 for ~~e year, showing an increase of 138 on the previous year. Durmg the VISIt of Colonel J. L. leeman to Australia and N ew .Ze~land a confe~ence was held betw en representatives of both the AssocIatIOn and the Bngade at Government House, ydney, when Colonel leeman presided. Continued progress is reported and definite evidence of QUEENSLAND. increased intere t is being taken in the work generally. The Darnell Cup was VirOn by the Bulimba Troop of Guides in the Brisbane Metropolitan area, and by the Cairns Troop of Boy Scouts who are some thousand miles from Brisbane. N EW S OUTH

Enthusiasm in t.he work of the centre ori the part of members, and the interest of the public, has been well maintained. CIa ses have been organized in first aid and home nursing by the \Vomen's Community, the Tasmanian Government Railways, Electrolytic Zinc Company, for the l\lental Hospital Staff at ew Norfolk, Queens~own, and by the Police Department. A class for instruction on the Preliminary course was al 0 arranged at the Campbell Street State School. The sixth competition for the Gregory Sprott Shield for teams of men was successfully conducted at the Town Hall on 1st November. Two teams from the Electrolytic Zinc Company and one from the Railway Department competed, No. 2 team from the former being successful. Three teams were nominated for the fourth competition for the Dr. T. H. Goddard Shield, between teams of women representing firms and associations, two teams entering from Cadbury-Fry-Pascall, and one froI? the Women's Communitv clas . The latter team was declared the wmner. This team also gained first place in the second competition for the ~ '. E. Hellewell hield held on 22nd June, which was presented for competItIon between t eams of women in Tasmania. The annual Inter-State competition with teams of the R ailway Department and the Inter-departmental teams at the Electrolytic Zinc Company, continue to be held with success. As the result of the visit carried out by Colonel J. L. Sleeman in March, the interest in Association activities has shown a marked increase. SOUTHERN

of which two are open to ladies only. No competition could be held again for the Gwalior Ambulance Challenge Shield open to teams from British Units of the Regular Army, while that for the cindia hield open to teams from Regular Units of the Indian Army had to be cancelled for want of sufficient entries. The remaining twelve trophie were competed for by 66 teams (including 5 ladies teams) and 21 individual ladie . The standard of work demonstrated was high, most of the winning teams obtaining no less than 80 per cent of marks, the high t marks secured being 957 out of 1,000 in the King Emperor's Auxiliary Force Ambulance Challenge Shield. The scheme for the formation of oluntary Aid Detachments to supplement the Medical Services of the Army in India in time of war is gradually becoming better known, but progress is still slow. A large number of the wives and daughters of officer and other ranks of the Army in India are undergoing instruction in first aid and home nursing with a view to qualifying and enrolling as members of Nursing Divisions and eventually as oluntary Aid Detachment members. The No. 1 Bengal Voluntary Aid Detachment which wa formed last year, is ready to mobilize if required. Another Detachment of 13 members has been formed at Dinapore on the East Indian Railway, and is awaiting official recognition. Army Commanders are giving the scheme their hearty support, and it is hoped that more detachments will come into being next year. The Council of Managem nt of the Indian Voluntary Aid Detachments held its second meeting on the 8th June in Simla. Various amendments to the scheme wer passed with a view to making it as practicable as possible. MALTA.

The centre records with deep regret the loss by death of H.E. General Sir David G. M. Campbell, Governor and Commander-in-Chief, and President of the Centre, and of The Hon. Professor ir Themi tocles Zammit, Vice-President. The centre has been highly honoured by H.E. General Sir Charles Bonham Carter, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Malta, who has graciously consented to become Pre ident of the centre, and by Lady Bonham Carter becoming Patronness of the ursing Branch of the centre. The centre is grateful to His Excellency the Governor, who has been pleased to allot a hall at the Aub rge d'Aragon for the use of the centre. Classes of instruction were held at the several branches in Valletta, Cottonera, and Hamrun, as well as at most Military Barracks. The courses of instruction in the last named place were in first aid and sanitation. SINCAPORE.

The centre has been slightly handicapped in making much progress during the year, but a further period of activity has been entered upon and classes in first aid and home nursing have been started.

Annual Report of the Chief Commissioner THE DIRECTOR OF AMBULANCE.

31st Jl..Iarclt, 1937. SIR, I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1936. I am again gla~ to report .a very substantial increase, not only in the strength of the Bngade, but In the numbers of new Divi ions. The actual increases of new Divisions and personnel compared with 1935 are as follows : New Divisions. 1936. 45 33

From the above it will be seen that there is an increa e of 132 new Divisions an~ of 3,901 personnel after allowing for discharges. The followmg table shows the strength of the Brigade on 31st December 1936 : ' llfen. England (including Northern Ireland) Wales . . Irish Free State .

From the above it will be seen that the total number of members of the Brigade is 82,038 in this Jubilee year of its formation. It is a fine ~estimony to the value of the work carried out by the Brigade, ~nd of the mterest taken by the members in their duties that these Increases have become an annual feature of the Chief Commissioner's Report.; for no organization could continue to expand so regularly unless It was both necessary and successful in the work it was carrying out.

From the report I have received from the District and County Commissioners, I find that the demands for the . crvices of the Brigade continue to increase, this is particularly in the case of the Air Raid Precautions Scheme which is dealt with later in the Report. The responsibilities which the Brigade has taken on in connection with this latter scheme have added enormously to the work of the Commi ioners and their staff. I am satisfied that the standard of efficiency of the Brigade in its First Aid work is being maintained. In this connection, I would like to thank the very large numbers (about 2,500) of the fedical Profession who belong to the Brigade for their self-sacrificing services in training and examir:-ing our members. \Vithout this as istance the Brigade could not possIbly have reached its present high standard of efficiency. The greatest keenness exists amongst all ranks for their self-imposed duties. The way they have taken up the Air Raid Precautions cheme i a good example of their zeal to assist the public. That the demands on the members of the Brigade continue to increase i best exemplified by the fact that last year the members dealt with 614,373 reported ca es of accident or sudden illness compared with 500,878 ca es dealt with in 193-. 11 oyer the country we haye established Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts which are u ually manned during week-ends and holidays. We have now 213 Road ide Huts and 963 First Aid Posts. These figures illu trate the great service rendered to the motoring public by the Brigade. Many cases have been brought to my notice during the year 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 units is an essential service and I continue to receive from many managers appreciation of the work of our trained personnel, who by their prompt and efficient First Aid have minimized the effects of injuries received in industry. Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics and Vlelfare Centres, by the members of the Nursing Divisions were 33,163. Particulars of the Services undertaken by these Divisions will be found in the Report of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, to whom I am greatly indebted for the most valuable work she has carried out for the efficiency and welfare of the Nursing Divisions. The principal public duty undertaken during the year was in connection with the funeral of His Late Majesty King George V. In London on that occasion the necessary arrangements were carried out by Captain W. Goodley, M.C., Commissioner, No.1 (Prince of Wales) District. Over 7,735 cases were dealt with in the Metropolis and 416 at Windsor. The personnel for duty for the funeral numbered 4,000 and were drawn from London and the Home Counties. The thanks of His Majesty the King were conveyed in the following message from the Home Secretary : I am Commanded by the King to express to all members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade who were on duty in connection with the Funeral of His Late Majesty King George the Fifth yesterday, the entire satisfaction of His Majesty and of Her Majesty Queen WORK OF THE

BRICADE .

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE. Mary with the manner in which their work was carried out. Their Majesties deeply appreciate the services which the members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade rendered to the public during the Funeral Procession and They have no doubt that these services contributed largely to the comfort and well-being of the great crowds lining the streets. Yours very sincerely,. (gd.) JOHN SIMON."

The thanks of His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, the Grand Prior, on this occasion to the members of the Brigade were conveyed in the following message : " As Grand Prior of the Venerable Order of t. John I wish to express through you to all ranks of the St. John Ambulance Brigade the admiration I feel for its work in the cause of humanity. " For fifty years the Brigade has carried out its public duties in clo e co-operation with the Police Forces of the country and during those years has shown its high standard of training, its keenness and its discipline. "This has been more than ever apparent during the past year when its voluntary work was fully tested under the eyes of the public in all the great cities of the Empire during the Silver Jubilee Celebrations. Its London and Home Counties members have been even more severely tested during the past sad days when their work wa rendered difficult by the unexpectedly large crowds which gathered in London to do homage to our late beloved King and which resulted in over 7.000 casualties being dealt vnth by them in the Metropolis and 416 cases at Windsor. "This spirit of voluntary service to which their holjdays and spare time are devoted without any cost to the State is appreciated by the public authorities and by those to whom their aid is given, but by those who do not come into close touch with this work it is usually regarded as paid work officially organized and no credit is given by many who if the true facts were more widely known would be its keen supporters. (Sgd.) ARTHUR, Grand Prior." The Brigade continues to fulfil a ational need in the provision and maintenance of Motor Ambulances. The TRANSPORT. 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 refiects the greatest credit upon these Officers, and the members who act as drivers and attendants. It is gratifying to note th<i;t in a large number of towns the entire ambulance service of the town has been entrusted by the Municipal authorities to the Brigade. 313 Ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions. These Ambulances carried 112,001 patients. AIR RAID This is the second year of this work undertaken at the PRECAUTIONS . request of the Home Office.

In the more energetic counties completely specialized staffs to cope WIth the extra work. (e) Visits to Areas throughout Britain.-In order to adv~s~ and conf.er with County Staffs; and also to meet the requests of MumcIpal CouncIls and to inaugurate local campaigns of propaganda, and launch class~s. for the general public, the Chief Commissioner's Staff Officer has VISIted 38 Centres in all parts of the country. Very full press reports have shown the value of this propaganda for the Government's scheme. (f) Fig1tres of trained personnel:-

These figures only represent those who have taken the examinations and obtained their certificates . whereas a very much larger number have taken instruction. It is difficult to estimate fully or adequately appreciate the enormous amount of extra work involved by the A.R.P. Scheme undertaken at the request of the Government. From Headquarters to the remote rural areas the burden has been shouldered with that fine spirit characteristic of the Brigade.

During the year, volunteers were calleel lor temporary service in the Royal Navy. In his report to the Medical Director-General of the Navy, the Inspecting Medical Officer states, (( I consider the R.N.A.S.B.R. to be a well organized, efficient body, of high potential value in emergency." lltJilitary Hospital Reserve.-This reserve is well maintained, the number enrolled being 1,746. During the year, 800 reservists attended a week's training in a military hospital. Training reports received in respect of both R.N.A.S.B.R. and M.H.R. reservists were most satisfactory.

THE ST. J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

The Cadet Units during the year have increased in a most satisfactory manner and have now reached a total strength of 13,430, being a gain of 993 on the previous year. I attach great importance to m aint aining these units in an efficient state and increasing their numbers, for quite apart from the value which the knowledge of First Aid obtained at such an impressionable age, these units are an excellent source of recruiting for the adult Divisions. CADETS.

I must again report that I have been much impres ed by the way in which units have collected sufficient fund to pay their way, and great credit is th refore due to all those cone med in collecting funds to enable the valuable work of the Brigade to be carried on. I am deeply grateful to all who have a sisted in thi important a tion of our organization, and to the Hon. Treasurers and Hon. Auditor for their valuable services. MUNIOIPAL The continued increase of recognition and encouragement SUPPORT. from Municipal Authorities and the Police Authoritie in all parts of the country is most encouraging to our p r onn 1. During the past year the Brigade ha incr a d in number, CONCLUSION. maintained its efficiency and given even great r ervic to the public. For this satisfactory tate of affair my thank are due to the Commissioners and their taff, for without their \ holc-hearted co-operation, such success could not have be n accompli hed. ut it is to the officers and men and women in the Corp and Division that my thanks are particularly due, for by giving up their hard- rn d I i ur to training and public dutie~ they have made the Brigade one of the finest examples of voluntary service in the country. ACOOUNTS .

Report of the Surgeon-in-Chief. To THE CHIEF COMMISSIO TER. DEAR JR, Herewith I have the honour to present My first report as Surgeon-inhief. Though i wa not so promoted until St. John's Day, I have incorporated therein the principal events affecting the medical work of the Brigade during the twelv months ending 31st December, 1936. Fir t, however, I would pay tribute to my predecessor, Colonel C. I. E11i , C.M.G., M.D., with whom I had the privilege of working as Assistant ' urgeon-inhief for almost five years. All who know his enthusiasm for our work will rejoice that Colonel Ellis is now an Inspecting Officer on our per onal taff and that he wiJl thus be able to continue the valuabl ervice which for thirty-six years he has rendered to the Brigade. I t is noteworthy that he attained the distinction of being the first ivi ional nrgeon to win his way from the lowest to the highest post in the technical ection of the Brigade. In Jnl hapter-General promoted as Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief your A.R.P. taff Officcr, Dr. \V. C. BentalJ, O.B.E., who has proven himself a tower of trength to me in the performance of my duties. Also in ] nne, acceding to my request, you re tored Divisional uperintendent E. T. lilburn from the reserve to the active list and appointed him a my ecr tary with the rank of District Officer, in which position he ha render d out tanding service. R eference to the attached Analy is of the Medical Strength STRENCTH . of the Brigade how that the number of surgeons in the Brigade ha remained tationary since 31st March, at which date my prcviou Analy is of trength was compiled. On 31st December, therefore, t.her were 2,266 urgeons on the role in England, Wales, and I reland; and of the e 2,1£)7 were serving in the technical and 69 in the executive ection of the Brigade. HEADQUARTER It has been at all times my endeavour to make personal METHODS . contact with the surgeons up and down the country, and more especially with the Di trict and County Surgeon on whose efforts the efficiency of the medical work of the Brigade so largely depends. To this end I have continued to send to every newly-appointed surgeon a personal lettcr of welcome which, at my ugg estion, was first sent out in July, 1935. In it I stress the voluntary character of the Brigade and the need for the urgeons to emulate their lay colleagues in carrying out their allotted duties fully and faithfully. From replies recei, ed it is clear that my letter has be n appreciated and that it has been the means of getting more efficient service in the Brigade. This year I have added to my letter a clause intimating that authority is thereby given for the new Divisional Surgeon to wear the uniform of their rank with the result that quite a few have forthwith obtained the uniform which otherwise they might not have done. As a further step towards efficiency I wrote a eries of articles on the "Dutie of urgeons" which were published in Th e Gazette. These you were pleased to recommend to Chapter-General for publication as

an official pamphlet ~hich i~ obtainable, free of cost, from Brigade Headquarter, the object bemg that no officer-whether medical or executive-need now be in doubt as to what are the specific duties and obligations of each grade of surgeon. Next, I have placed my service unreservedly at the di po al of my colleagues by f!1eans of inteI~views and corre pondence, whereby I hay exteI?-ded ~he cIrcle of my fnends.; ~nd I have initiat d the practice of sendmg cIrcular letters to the DIstnct and County Surgeons wh ney r I have any spe~i~l. news or informat~on to impart to th m and, through them, to t?e DIVI IOn Surgeon . ThIS ha erved to esiablish a p rsonal touch (wlnch aug~rs well for the future) between Brigad H adquart rs and the Surgeons m charge of the medical work in the Di tricts, ounti s, and Areas. Experience in the executive section of tbe Brigade ha tauaht me the practical value of m cting in Ollr organization. C?nsequently, I summoned and bad the pri,-il ge of pr i(ling 0" r th FIrst Conference of District and ounty urge on , which took pIa ' in the Chapter Hall on 10th October. Some 29 out of the p~ssible 5,1 surgeons assembled from all part of England, from the Insh Free tate, from North rn Ir Jand, and from the Channel Islands; and, in the una\'oidabl ab nee of your-,clf, t~ey weI:e welc?n:ed by the Director of the Ambulanc D 'partmcnt, SIr PerCIval "llkmson, K.C.M.G. \ Ve do ed our disCll ~iol1s \\ itll ill feeling that we had done constructive work and that \\'C w re the bctt.cr triends for having met, and with the satisfaction that ,cn wll n, as IS the reputed privilege of our profe ion, we had diff red 011 an}' point, we had quarrelled no more. On ~9t.h November, I journeyed to Binningham by il1\'itaiiol1 of til ' COf!1mIssIOner, Dr. !'lenton \iVhite; and I addrc . cel til snrgeons at theIr Tea Party w.hlch had been an annual fixture for many y ar in the County of BIrmmgham. Afterwards I explaincd difficulties which were pla~ed. before I?e and answered question on variou problems. Srnular meetII?-gs ~re beld elsewhere, though not a uni\'('fsally as they should ?e! a~d It WIll be my pleasure to attend any uch, if I am honoured by an mVItatIon. In some Districts, Counties, and rca, howcycr, tIl An~ual Competi~ions or Di tribution of Awards afford th only opportumty of :ollec~mg the su~geons together for their bcH r acquaintance ~nd for . dISCUSSIOn concernmg ways of improving fIrst aid and nursing mstructIon. The Surge0I?--in-Chief for the Priory, Dr. D. Rocyn Jones, c.

He also records with pleasure tbe cordial relationship existing between all ranks of Brigade surgeons and Priory Headquarters. During the year Brigade Headquarters have made a point . VISITS F R O M · of meetmg the surgeons, whenever pOSSIble, at the Annual HEADQUARTERS. I t' d t d b d' . I n_pec IOns con uc e y us; an m t h'IS connectIOn would imprc on all rank of surgeons that they have a very definite place in such- functions, which they should attend if at all possible. Thu, olonel Ellis met the urgeons attached to orth Devon units at Barn iaple, to Dorsct units at Blandford, and to the Manchester and ~ alford Corp. at lanche ter. Again, Dr. Bentall had interviews with thC' urgeons at Blackpool, Bristol, Colwyn Bay, Lancaster, Lytham l. Ann's, and the banncl I lands, while I acted similarly with those in B lfast, 1 ollrnemoutll, Ea thourne, Herne Bay, outh Bucks, Corps at , lough and . . TO. 1 r a of the Lanca hire Di trict at Colne. From all part. of England, of the Priory for \Vale and RE - EXAMINATION of Ireland ther is eyidence that the annual re-examinations OF DIVISIONS . arc being conclucted in a atisfactory manner; and that th Olll1ty urgeons are realizing more and more their r spon ibilitic", \vith reference to tbis important item of Brigade " fftciency". 1n thi conn CtiOll I would m pha ize that the prime duty of the Divi~iol1al surg on i. instruction while that of the Count V urg on i~ the r -examination or the testing of uch in truction. On e\ eral oc a. ions, how vcr, my attention wa called to irregularities in th mcLhod of holding the re- xamination , and more e pecially in the pr ,entation of the detail d marking sheets; and, though mo t of these wcr rccti 11 d, in two in tanc ~ I \Va compelled to cancel the re-examination ancl to in ist on it being re-conducted properly at a later date. The fa t lhai our work is \'oluntary cannot be accepted a the excuse on thc part of any slIrgeon- ~amin r [or neglecting rules and regulation without which our "oluntary organization could not carry out its duties and obligations. COMPETITIONS . In all tbe preliminary competitions leading to the Dewar and P rrot Final the u ual keen interest was sho\'.'11 in the Area, ountie, and Di trict. ; and tIle number of teams competing wa' () bove the a,'erage. It is, therefore, evident that the value of these cont t, a' a means of training the individual fir t aider, i being more and more appr iated a the y afS pa s. Th Final mpetition took place on 5th June in the \Vharncliffe Room wh n there were et practical tests such as the competitor might conceivably have to hanetie wben detailed for public duty. Once again, thank to the genero ity of British International Pictures, Ltd., the team tc ts were wonderfully staged and left nothing to be de ired in the way of realism, while the pre entation of the individual tests receivcd car [ul attention. As a re uIt of the e prcparations the competitors had every opportunity for a full understanding of the requircments of the test and for tbe application of the appropriate treatment. Both Competitions were won by unit from o. VIn (Dukc of Connaught's) District; and the judges reported afterwards that the cascs had been well treated and that a high percentage of marks had been obtained by most of the competing teams . From the experience gained, however, it is becoming increasingly

recognized that the preparation of the detailed marking sheets has become a specialized feature of modern competition work. Consequently, while the majority of surgeons can be trusted to undertake the duty of judging, a small minority only is capable of preparing marking sheets suited to the exacting demands of competition to-day and more especially of those in which highly trained and efficient team are competing against each other. In the e circum tances I urgently sugge t the de irability of all ranks of urgeons making a clo e study of the method adopted in Brigade Finals in which a high standard has long been maintained. During the year fifteen reports of efficient fir t aid rendered MERITORIOU8 in exceptional circumstances were submitted to my preFIRST A I D. decessor and myself. All these, on our advice, were approved by you and fully merited the letters of congratulation which you ent to the individuals concerned; and all were duly publi hed in the" Intere t ing Case Reports " column of The Gazette. One wa forwarded to the appropriate committee with your recommendation for the award of the Meritorious Certificate of the Ambulance Department. Though thi did not eventuate, we have the consolation that not one such certificate was issued during this year. In conclusion, I am happy to inform you that bond all CONCLUSION . doubt there is a definit increa e in the intere t which surgeons of all ranks in England, \Vales and Ireland are taking in the work of the Brigade; and that thi i particularly notireabl among tho e whose service is comparatively short. Also, I desire to place on record my appreciation of the loyal supporl which I have received from the Di trict and ounty urgeon in our efforts to advance the medical ervice of the Brigade, and at the same time to thank them and the Surgeon-in-Chief of the Priory for \ ale for the interesting reports which they have submitted to me on the medical work in their commands. I am, dear Sir, Your obedient ervant, N. CORBET FLETCHER, M.A., M.B., M.R.C .S., clc. Surgeon-in-Chief.

(Dor et) Portland Nursing Division made 125 attendances. Poole, 201 attendances, Parkstone made 59, and Weymouth Nursing Division member put in 291 hours. I.F.S. Members made 17 attendances. Again at the Royal Hospital, Richmond, and at the Prince of Wales's Hospital, Lockyer Street, Plymouth, members attended on the occasion of the Matron's Dinner and Dance to the hospital staff to free the nurses so that they might attend this festivity. The following letter has been received from the Matron of the Prince of Wales's Hospital, Greenbank, Plymouth, expressing her appreciation of the work done by members during the sickness of her own staff :(/ I write to say that with the return to duty of half our sick staff I shall not ask your V.A.D.s to attend any longer on this occasion. Their work has been splendid and of great value to the Hospital in this emergency. Will you kindly convey to them my warmest thanks and congr.atulations ~n the excellence of their response to my appeal for help In the hospltal's need. The Sisters and Nurses in whose wards they assisted join with me in this expression of appreciation. Several members of the Sunderland Nursing Division were blood donors ~d. I. understand that similar service is regularly rendered in some other DlvlslOns. JJ

In order to realize the value of these hospital attendances it must be remembered that every attendance is of at least three hours' duration whilst in some cases the member spends a full day at the hospital. In various Divi ions members have done regular duty at WELFARE Welfare Centres, Dispensaries, Medical Comforts Depots, CENTRES, ETC . and Clinics. The number of such attendances has exceeded the thousand. Members have continued in many cases to take their V.A.D. training at Military and Naval Hospitals. Ambulance transport work, road duty, and beach hut duty have been fully and efficiently dealt with and there has been no difficulty in supplying the requirement of the authorities for public duties of all descriptions. I have again every rea on to be sincerely grateful for the CONCLUS I ON . loyal support and co-operation of my Lady District and County uperintendent and Officer, and all Officers and Members of Nur ing Divi ions. I beg to remain, ir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady uperintendent-in-Chief.

" During the year, hy the courtesy of the Assistant Commissioners and their Staffs, I have been enablec1 to visit some Divisions in each Area on the occasion of InspectIOns, ompetilions, and other functions and in this way have acquired 11 cful fir t-hand knowledge of the activities of the various units.

This ga \'e rise to a vacancy for the post of County Surgeon and I have been fortunate in getting so keen an Officer as Dr. T. J. Hollins to take over these responsible duties. " Dunng the last six months of the year I \"as able personally to visit many of t.he Di\'i-;ions and was impressed by the high standard of work and smart turn-out generally found Thl especially applies to the Cadet Divi ions.

Kendall in June, 193G, is sincerely regretted by all ranks, bu t the very kind and enthusiastic welcome which I received assures me of the loyal and whole-hearted support of every member in the Eastern Area. " During the latter half of the year there has been some opportunity of visiting and inspecting several units. There is no doubt that actual First Aid work, and the manner in which public duties are performed, leave little to be desired. Knowledge of Air Raid Precautions has reached a high standard in the Area and a very huge proportion of the Brigade personnel are fully qualified in this important work." FROM SOUTHERN AREA. Capt. A. . \Vhite Knox, M.C., Assistant Commissioner . " It was impossible for me, during the time at my disposal, to inspect the whole of my Area, but from the time of t aking over command I inspected a considerable number of both Ambulance and Nursing Divisions and found the work being done of a high standard. There is 3. steady influx of new members of a very good type, and I am pleased to see the Cadet movement growing in the Area.

PROTECTION OF THE CIVIL POPULATIO AGAINST GAS ATT.\cK~ . "With the development of publicity the Instructors of the District have been increasingly in demand for classes for members of the General Public and Business Houses. Local authorities have called for assistance from the Brigade and we are in liaison with no less than 39 such bodies. It is reasonable to assume that a dC:'c1aration of financial policy by the Government will occasion a substantial increase of work in this direction. Public meetings under the auspices of Local Councils have been addressed by representatives from this Department of No.1 District.

DISTRICT.

Our relations with Government Departments have progressed satisfactorily and the practical utility tests have elicited expressions of appreciation . The Medical Instruction Branch of the Home Office operating through the B.M.A . has requisitioned our assistance from time to time. The enrolment of Auxiliary Reserves is making slow progress, but this is doubtless due to the delay in the application of local schemes. Our Reserve at the end of the year totalled 1 2 (129 Ambulance and 53 Nursing) . Throughout the year 174 Courses were held, certificates being issued to 2,608 Rank and hie (1,820 Ambulance and 788 Nursing) and 839 General Public, 239 candidates failed to satisfy the examiner, bringing the total examined to 3,686. At the conclusion of the year we had 333 Instructors (147 Grade I and 186 Grade II) .

SIR,

I have the honour to submit the Annual Report for 1936. J.VlIJJlber. SlreJl{;!h. Ambulance Divisions 7 20-1 Tursing Divisions 3 6 ursing Cadet Divisions 2 51 Boy Cadet Divisions 3 49 15 372 These figures show a slight increase in the strength of the Brigadc since 1935, due to the formation of two Boy Cadet Divisio ns in Cheltenham . The strength and efficiency of the Divisions in Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Coleford have been well maintained. Many efforts have been made to raise enthusiasm for Ambulance work in the rural areas of the County, but " 'ith little success. Distance, financial dlfficultie , and inability to find \\'illing and efficient local orgamzers are the chief causes of failure up to the present. In my experience, Doctors can always be found, who are willing to give Lectures and take Examinations, but they are far too busy people to be able to spare time necessary for the organization, and holdinJ toaether of Divisions. Persons of the more leisured and retired classes of the community, generally appear to be unwilling to give the time or to accept respon5ibllity. The following r eport \\'as received from the Divisional Superintendent:" I am once again able to report an increase of member hip and work carried out by my Division for the year ended 31st December, 1936 . " The membership has increased by 6, the average attendance at drill has been 25 . This is an increase on last year. " The work has been varied from time to time and in addition, one A.R.P. class has been carried through and 12 members hold A.RP. Certificates. Another class is now in progress. " As regards public duties I am pleased to say that the Division becomes more and more a part of the life of the city. Duties have been performed in the park during the snmmer, at concerts, public meetings, and parades. " The whole of the duty at Barton Fair was performed by our Division, and also the Saturday duty at the Royal Infirmary Carnival from 2 p .m. Saturday to 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. The average number of men on duty each Saturdav throughout the winter is 12 . I have no difficulty in covering the duties and in fact the members are keen to do more. I am very pleased with the splendid way in which the members have carried out their duties throughout the year. " The formation of the Section at Newent is a step in the right direction. " The Frampton Section have done useful work in their own area during the year." Glouceste'Y Wagon Works Division.-This Division has maintained its strength and efficiency, City of Gloucester Nursing Division.- In spite of many difficulties-this Division, altho~gh s~all in numbers, shows great keenness- I hope that, in the near future, the dlfficulhes may be overcome, and that the Division will receive more help and encouragement from the citizens of Gloucester. Cheltenham Corps,-Progress during the year has been marked by the formation of two Boys Cadet Divisions-they have been fully equipped through the magnificent generosity of Corps Officer W. H. Ball.

It is of interest to note that Fareham had a st.ron g Di\'ision pnor to J 9] 4. which was wiped out by the Great ·War. Organization and Administration.-The "Three Area" organization anct.ioned by you in 1935, is now in operation, and will I feel, add greatly to the dficiency of administration when completely established. The vVestern and Northern Areas, respectively. are being admini5tered by ::'1ajor :;.\1orse, O.ST.]., and Lieut.-Colonel Dunn, C.I.E. The Ea t ern ,\rea i' under the care of County Officer, Dr. Glen, S.B. Each Area has its own COllnty :urgeon.

COl ps Headquarters, Gosport COI'ps.-I am very pleased to report that Gosport C.orp , formed in 1935, has acquired a building for local Headquarters . ot unduly large, it will provide accommodation for all its Divisions in a central part of Gosport, and hould add g reatly to the efficiency of that Corps. The :'1ayor of Gosport performed the opening ceremony, the Mayoress unfurled the Brigade Flag, and the Rector of Alverstoke, Chaplain to the Corps dedicated the building on -th December, in the presence of myself, County Officer Dr. Glen, the Officers and ~I embe rs of the Corps, and a large number of guests. It is with great plea ure that I am able to report that owing to the most handsome gift of £300 give n by Dr. Glen, and to the great generosity of a number of donors, the building was opened fre e of debt. The members of Divisions \overe responsible for a great deal of the alterations, and decoration of the building. Sew Road IJut .-Rom sey Division erected a full-sized Road Hut entirely at their own expense, on the Romsey By-pass Road.

The fact that this service is appreciated is evidenced by the fact that the Corporation of Bournemouth has erected and partly equipped a new and commodious Hut near Boscombe Pier. This Hut was opened by the :l\Iayor of Bournemouth on 18th August, 1936. The Nursing Divisions of this Corps started this duty in 1926 in a

I believe I am right in stating that to Wool sto n Ambulance Division lies the distinction of being the first Division of the Brigade to inaugurate this Public Duty . It started in 1912, manhandling its tent and equipment by truck to the beach of Southampton Water, each week-end, and with the exception of the years of the \Yar, it has maintained this duty, without any previous recognition. A .R.P.-This important work is progressing, and instruction is being imparted in all adult Divisions. 51 Officers have obtained Grade 1 Certificates and 1 Grade 2 . Practically all Divisions have one or more In tructor, and a considerable number of Members have secured or are w aiti ng for exams to ecure their A .R .P .jC. 1.

att.endance of the Xorth Buckinghamshire Divisions. The parade numbered about 650 . We were fortunate in having for our Inspecting Officer Colonel J . L. Sleeman, C.B., Chief Commissioner for Brigade Overseas, and this opportunity was taken [or opening- th new headquarters for the Banbury Division. These premise~ had been purchased for the Banbury Division by the generosity of th~lr preSIdent, Colonel H . E duc ... Torris, and alterations and equipment were prOVIded for from a fund of ,{.600 which wa raised by County Officer Dr. T. F. Briggs. The d ay wa a memorable one for the County as the Inspecting Officer was supported by Sir John H ewett, Bailiff of Egle, the Lor~ Lieutenant, the Hi.gh SherrifI, Dr. \V. E. Audland , and the :'Iayor a nd Corporation of Banbury. ::VIaJor Sir James Edmonson, IIf.P., acted as A.D.C. to the Inspecting Officer. The Dedicatio n Service of the new Headquarters was conducted by the Rev. i\ . L. E. Williams, Chaplain of the Banbury Division. He was supported by the Hev . C. E. l\Ioreton , haplain of the Order. The Headquarters ha\'e'ince proved to be a great as~ct to the Banbury Division. The work of the Din lOns is contmuing to lOcrease, and at times the call on members has been arduous, but it i gratifying to knov,,' that this increase in duty has been met by a ready response from all Divisions of the County. The ~ 'ursing Divisions have increased in strength and their work continues to be most u du!. .\ greater number of ITu rses are attending our local hospital.s, whe~e their services are appreciat.ed.

Other courses of lect ures have been given to suc h bodies a Fire Brigades and ':'Iunicipal Authorities. I am satisfied that the i\ H. .P. work in the area is being planned and carried out in an efficient manner. Throughout the County our relations with the Police and other public bodies are most fnendly and helpful. I should like to convey my thanks to my County Officers who have helped me to further the interest of the work . I must here mention County Officer F. Dearie, who has been of the greatest possible help to me and who took over the duties of County ommi~sioner during the illness of Dr. Audland. It is most gratifying to know that he has been promoted to an Officer of the Order as a return for his valuable ser\'ices. I must also thank my ounty Surgeon, County Officer A.R.P., and all Officers, 'lIen, .!. urses, and Cadets, for the splendid way they have supported me in this my 11 rst year as ounty Commissioner. \\'e look forward confidently to 1937, and feel a!:i~llred th a t it \\'ill see an in crease in our activities.

Being an increase of 2 Ambulance and 2 Cadet Divisions and 75 l\Iembers. ,\ Ithou gh not such a large increase in Members as the previous year, it does not mean that we are idle, and I am hoping at an early date, to apply for the formation of Ambulance Divisions at Chard, Hatch-Beauchamp, \Yincanton, and Axbridge, and a ursing Division at Bridgwater. The work generally of the Brigade has greatly increased in this County. In February we held an intensive course of A.R.P, Lectures at the Hoyal larence Hotel, Bridgwater. This was attended by Officers of the various Divisions in the County who wished to qualify as Lecturers, and thereby in truct .thc J\Iember ' of their Divisions. At the examination held during ;'Iarch, 11 gamed Grade 1 Certificates and 17 Grade 2. The outcome of that being that to date in the County we have 30 Grade I, 20 Grade 2, 117 A .R.P./C (Rank and File). and 9 General Public Certificates issued, and other classes waiting to be examined. Inspections.~All Divisions were inspected by myself (with the exception of Congresbury, a recently formed Division). Reports of which have been fOf\\'arded with Returns. Competitions.-The Somerset County Ambulance and ... ·ursing Competitions \\'ere held at the Royal Clarence Hotel, Bridgwater. The winning teams " 'ere : Ambulance, l1inehead Division; and Nursing, Weston-super-:'Iare Tur mg Division. These two teams later competed in the ~ TO . 2 District Competition held at Bournemouth. I have to, again, thank County Officer (A.R.I.) . \'i'c\'cIl for acting as Competition Secretary, and feel sure, while I have him and his energetic committce, our County Competitions will be a success. Thanks is also due to Lady County Officer J\Ir . L. Lovill, \\'ho not only ga\'e the individual prizes to winning Ambulance teams, but on 7th July handed me a cheque for the sum of £100 towards the \Veston-super-l\Iare Corp Headquartcrs Building Fund. Officers' Conference.-On 3rd :May we held our annual Officer' onference at the'Town Hall, "eston-super-J\Iare, it was attended by 42 Officers of .A mbulance and Xursing Divisions. This meeting has become a very popular e\'ent in the County. I endeavour there to fix dates for the Re-examination, In pection , etc., and several interesting subjects are debated, which help Officers and ::\lembers of Division generally in the work of the Brigade, , County Parade.-On 28th June we held a County Parade of Diviions at Bath . It was a great Sllccess, thanks to Divisional Supterintendent F. R. Stent, of Bath City Division, and his committee. Just previous to this Parade Ilis Grace The Marquess of Bath, K.G., F.C., C.B., etc., Lord Lieutenant of omerset, honoured us by consenting to become our County President, and at this Parade he took the Inspection of Division. All Divisions were represented and about 600 members \\'ere on parade. After the Inspection we marched to the J\bbey Church, where the sermon was very ably taken by the Rev. C. Cousins Petch, ;\1.A., Chaplain of the Order of St. John, Corps Supt., Cheltenham. After the service the Divisions again formed up and was marched past the Guildhall, where the Salute was taken by The Marquess of Bath. 530 members later sat for tea at the City Hall, after "\-"hich Grade 1 and Grade 2 A.R.P. Certificates were presented to all who had gained them to date. Ambulances.-Seventeen motor Ambulances are now being run by the Divisions in the County. The dedication of Minehead Division, new Austin mbulance, took place on 9th August. This service was attended by members of everal Divisions in the County, and the Ambulance was handed over to the President of the Division, G. F. Luttrell, Esq., by the Right Hon. the Earl of Cromer, p.e., G.C.T.E., G.C.V.O. 3,352 Invalids were removed; mileage for same, 39,218. 440 accident cases; mileage, 2,929. Reported cases attended by members were 5,574. In conclusion, I wish to say how pleased I am to again to be able to state that all Ambulances in the County (except one owned by the Bath City Council) continue to be run by voluntary workers. My very sincere thanks to all Officers, N.C.O's and Members who have down so much during the past year, especially to those who have helped me personally by a prompt reply to letters and forwarding Brigade Forms, etc., at proper time. have the honour, Sir, To remain yours obediently, JOH S.

First A id.-The reported number of occasions on which First. Aid ~as been rendered is 36,161.

Finances.-It is gratifying to find that the finances of the Divisions are in such a healthy state. The keenne s of all members in the raising of fun~s to enable them to carryon thc work of the Brigade is worthy of the greatest praIse. I regret that Lady County Officer 1\1rs. J. V. Heseltine had to res~gn w~en she left the County. and would record my appreciation of the work she dId dunng the time she was on my Staff. Many Divisions have as yet no President or Vice-Presidents. I am advising them to enlist the sympathy of local ladies or gentlemen who are interested in this work and nominate them for these positions, and thus complete the establishment of their Divisions.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

In closing my report I would place on record my appreciation of the valuable assistance given me by my County Officers, Medical Officers, and the loyal co-operation of the Corps and Divisional Officers, and all ranks. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, GEO. F. BROWNE. County Commissioner for Leicestershire .

COUNTIES OF

ORTHAMPTON AND HU Tlr GDOr .

ORCHY LODGE, LONDO l ROAD, KETTERI 'G. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my annual report for the Counties of Torthampton and Huntingdon for the year ending 31st December, 1936. The total strength of the 66 Divisions comprising the Jorthamptonshire Unit remains almost the same as last year, 1,465. 3,613 cases were attended during the year by the Ambulance Divisions and 2,197 by the members of the Nursing Divisions, and 966 (Ambulance, -ursing, and Cadets) passed their re-examination, and the enthusiasm of the members i generally well maintained. New Divisions.-Steps have been taken for the formation of new Divisions at Brackley, Peterborough, and Broughton. Inspections.-Each of the four Corps of the County were this year inspected separately, instead of combined inspections as held during the previous four years. I personally inspected the Northampton and Peterborough Corps, being assisted at the Northampton Inspection by Lady District Superintendent :'Irs. \V. Harvey Reeves, A.R.R.C. The Kettering Corps was inspected by Corps Surgeon :'lajor G. F. P. Gibbons, O.B.E., and County Officer C. \N. Curtis; Lady District Superintendent Mrs. Reeves assisting with the Nursing Divisions. District Officer J. C. Parker took the inspection of the Wellingborough Corps . Public Services have been well maintained. Football matches, theatres, sports, etc., have been attended by Ambulance men and nurses, and their services are fully appreciated. The" Huts" in the 'W icksteed Park, Kettering, where thousands of visitors go in the summer months, have been constantly manned by upt. E. Claypole and Lady Corps Supt. Mrs. Wills and their Ambulance and r ursing members, their services being in great demand. Northampton always supplies men and nurses to their theatres and football matches . Transport of Sick and Injured.-Ambulances have been busier than ever, those under our control have removed 4,047 cases and travelled 4-1:,689 miles. 332 road accidents have been attended with a mileage of 1,800. Service Awards.-District County Officer J. C. Parker and County Officer and Treasurer W. H. Percival have received the honour of being promoted to " Officers of the Order ". Twelve members qualified for the Service Medal; fourteen received their 1st Bars; six their 2nd Bars; eight gained the 3rd Bar, and two 4th Bars. SPecial Award.-To Corps Supt. W. Dyson, Kettering, the bronze medal of the Order of St. John was awarded, for rescuing a man buried in a caved-in trench of moving earth in a brickyard, and kept alive by respiratory apparatus for 3t hours until extricated with a fractured thigh and lacerated muscles; he recovered. Ai1' Raid Precautions.-The work in connection with A.R.P. is increasing rapidly. Lectures have been given in various parts of the County, and more are being arranged. I am hoping that all the Brigade personnel, who are willing, will receive instruction in this branch of the work before the end of the current year. Corps Surgeon Major Gibbons, O.B.E., has given most valuable help in conducting examinations. A large number of Officers, including myself, have attended an intensive course in A.R.P. at the Great Central Hotel, London. Eleven Grade 1, 12 Grade 2, and 130 Brigade personnel certificates have been issued during the year and 20 to the general public. Corps Supt. T. F. Sewell, Peterborough, has been most active in A.R.P. work, and he has already 4 Grade 1 Officers in his Corps. Corps Supt. J. M. Bailey, M.C., has given a large number of lectures in the Wellingborough district.

District Competitions.-The Desborough Nursing Division team, representing Northants in the District" Perrott" Shield Competition, just failed by one mark to win at Coventry. The County was represented by Northc:mpton Headquarters in the" Dewar" Shield District round, and made a very credItable performance. Annual RetllYns.-On the whole the Returns for 1936 were received in good time, but I regret t.o say a few were somewhat lax in attending to this important work. A more careful attention to the Regulations is suggested to aU concerned. The orthampton Corps reached the Jubilee of its formation (:lll 18th l\lay, 1936, and the occasion was celebrated by a Church Parade and a dmner at the Town HaU, which was attended by a distinguished company, ,:t which I ha? much pleas,:re in presiding. Corps Supt. W. E. Edwards, M.B.E ., dunng the evenmg was heartily congratulated on the efficiency of the Northampton Corps. . My grateful thanks is due to all Officers and other ranks who have loyally asslsted me during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, LESLIE \N. DKYLAND, County Commissioner.

A nnual R eport. SIR, . I ~ave ~he .honour to submit herewith my report as Commissioner, r o. 4 (LancashIre) DIstnct for the year 1936. 5.trength.-I regret that I have to report a decrease in numbers, owing to two mam causes; the natural wastage due to the operation of t.he age limit., and the fact that there has been a weeding out of inefficient members in several parts of t he D istrict. This dimin u tion in numbers .applies to the Ambulance and ursing Divisions, but the Am~ulanc.e and . ursmg . Cadet Units show a satisfactory increase in personnel, which will, I beheve, ultimately benefit the senior Divisions. The strength of the District at the end of 1936 was as follows : AMBULA CEo 1935. 1936. 19 16 District Staff. 18 18 Corps Surgeons 72 Corps Officers 69 175 Divisional Surgeons . 182 128 D ivisional Superintendents 128 Ambu lance Officers 157 162 Sergeants 260 249 Corporals 390 390 Privates 4,344 4, 137 Tot a l Cadet s-Ambulance

ases treated during 1936, -12.972. Road Patrols.-As in 1935, I am able to report that this side of Brigade work is still growing, and thanks to the public spirit and generosity of several ladies and gentlemen interested in our work, it has been possible to increase the number of Road Huts and First Aid Posts, and there are now in the District 28 Road Huts, 39 First id Po ts, and 424 Roadside Boxes. I cannot praise too highly the work carried out by our members in connection :vith this. very valuable duty, and it is very evident, year by year, that the public IS becomlllg more and more appreciative of the services given by our men, women, and cadets. Evidence of the need for it is afforded by the fact that 2,3 19 cases are reported as being treated during the past year. The 9 Ambulances controlled by the Brigade in Lancashire have returned a mileage of 22,556 for the same period, a number of the runs made being for distances of 150 to 200 miles. Pub~ic. puti~s.-Incr.eas~ng demands are being made upon the various Corps and DIvlslOns III the Dlstnct, and the unabated zeal of the personnel is equal to all the calls which are made. The small and unspectacular duty is carried out in the same spirit in which the l ~.l.rger and gre~ter one is p.erformed, . and if it were pos ible to present a complete lIst of the dutIes done dunng 1936, It would be found to cover practically every function of any size held in the county. A? in previous reports, I desire to mention a few of these duties, of which I have recelVed details:]l..fanchester and Sa~ford C01'ps.-The Whitsuntide Processions in the city of Manchester place a considerable duty upon the members of the Corps, and on 1st June and 15th June, 1936, during these events, no less than 592 cases were treate~ a~ 33 . First ~id Stations, a n u mber of these being of a serious character, necessitatmg ImmedIate removal for hospital treatment. The permanent First Aid Station which the Corps staff at the well-known Belle Vue Ga:r~e.ns, Manchester, calls for a high standard of efficiency and places a heavy responSIbility on all who take part in the work.

The Ambulance Drill Hall adjoining was arranged as a hospital with ward for medical and surgical cases, also a special ward for Phosgene Gas Cases, with oxygen apparatus, and an operating theatre with trained sister in charge.

General.-From the reports of my Officers, and my own Inspections, it is evident that a good and increasing standard of efficiency prevails throu ghout the District, and although the industrial situation has not improved as much as in other parts of the country, the desire to carryon the work of the Brigade has not slackened in any way. Increasing public recognition of the services of our members is a stimulant to all to maintain and enhance the traditions of the Brigade, and this is shown in the desire to undertake every service for which there is a need. In recording my very grateful thanks to the lady and gentlemen of my District Staff for their loyal and unremitting services, I also desire to include all those orps and Divisional Officers who, with the Members under their charge, are day by day giving an example of unselfish devotion to the principles of the Order of St. John.

SIR,

I have pleasure in submitting to you my annual report for 1936. I have forwarded under separate cover the returns for the year ended 31st December, 1936, as per lists attached thereto. This year each unit was again inspected at its own Headquarters, and in addition was visited periodically during drill nights by a County Officer, and the working conditions have been greatly improved. Road Pa~rols ':lre established throughout the County and are doing most valuable work, espeCIally m the traffic rush at week-ends. These are also visited by a County Officer at irregular periods. A ~ew ~n:~ulance Division of the Stockport Corporation Tramways, and a new Nursmg DlvlslOn at Sandbach, have been formed, and other units are in progress of formation. In presenting the report of Lady District Superintendent Mrs. 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 V.A.D. over so long a period.

COUNTIES OF WESTMORLAND AND CUMBERLA D. LINDUM HOLME, KENDAL, 2nd March, 1937. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit to you my report on the work which has taken place in the above Counties for the year ending 31st December, 1936.

123

DISTRICT.

The relative strength of personnel in the Counties is as follows : Westmorland. Cumberland. o. St1'ength. No. Strength . Ambulance Divisions 3 68 9 230 u rsing Divisions 2 36 4 70 adets (Ambulance) 2 23 1 17 adets (Nursing) 1 11 1 11 Total

138

328

The total strength, including the County Staff of 5, is 471, which is a decrease on the previous year of 46; the figure is not quite accurate as one Division in Cumberland has nol yet sent in its relurns. !he 1 T ursin ~ D~v~s!on at Egremont has been disbanded, owing to a general lack of lllteresl; lhls DlvlslOn, though never very large, used to be most efficient and keen in its work and it is a loss to the locality. ~olh t~IS Division and the local ,\mbulance Division have been going through difficult times a far as employment is concerned and the curse of unemployment soon shalters the morals of tho e who suffer from it. \\ slmorland Ambulance and N ur ing Divisions have each lost one member, \\ lulst ul!1berland has lost 29. The Cadets in \Yestmorland are down by 9, whilst those of umberland only by 6 . o new Di"isions have been established. . The ountie have 10 t an old and stalwart supporter by the death of the County Surgeon, Dr. J. R. Burnett, of I(eswick, who was associated with the Keswick .A mbulance Division for more than 40 years; this Division was the oldest in the two ountie, coming into being in 1 94, five years prior to the establishment of the Kendal Division . H1S \\ ork and enthu iasm manifested itself in the keen interest 'which his old I ivision show.e~ ~n e,:"ery branch of Ambulance "-ork; it is at the present time still the largest I lVlSlon 111 the two ounties, and maintains its former reputation for good work. He was a valued and agreeable colleague and will be much missed by all \\ ho knew him. R~garding work for the public, more than 2,000 cases have been attended, and this has lllvolved more than 10,000 miles of motor travelling. One ursing Divi ion has 155 attendances at Clinics to its credit but there does not appear to be much scope for this class of work. ' The 3 u~berland Divisions of Arlecdon and Frizington, Cleator Moor, and vVhiteha~en, contlllue to supply the same number of men for the 1\I.H.R. work, viz. 41, whilst the .r ursing Divisions of Cockermouth and Kendal provide 2 Mobile and 32 Immobile members of the V .A.D .s. A.R.P. work has been organized to a certain extent but the expense of travelling to and from London has prevented the Counties sendin a as manv Officers as would be d~sirable; in spite of these difficulties, however, ther~ are 10 Grade 1 Instructors appomted and 62 members have secured their A.R.P. Certificate, whilst there are others who arc only awaiting the opportunity for their examinations to be held . .II?- ~he Countie~: Coml?et,i,tion the" Collinson" .Bowl was won by Carlisle ursing DlvlsIOn and the Coclull Cup by Ambulance Sister M. G. B. Gregg, of Ambleside. In the \Vestmorland " Sladen " contests Kendal ursing Cadets retained the Junior Banner. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. BARON COCKILL, Lieut.-Col., Knight of Grace of the Order St. John of Jerusalem. County Commissioner of Westmorland and Cumberland.

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1936. The strength of the District is 14,313, an increase on the previous year. The cases attended are recorded at 112,691, an increase of 10,086 upon the previous vear. - This is much below the actual number, as becomes evident on comparing the known work of different Corps, or Divisions with each other and \\'ith the stati tical returns sent in. There are 45 Motor Ambulances being worked in the District and they ha\'e removed 18,080 cases, an increase of 1,142 upon 1935 . The District Camp of Instruction was again held at Scarborough and, notwithstanding some bad weather, proved most successful. There \\as only one case of illness. The daily lectures by the Medical Officers were greatly appreciated by Officers and men. Assistant Commissioner Else was Camp Commandant and he had an efficient Camp Staff. I visited the Camp on 5th June when General Sandys, C.B., accompanied me and he took the Inspection, afterwards touring the Camp. The General addressed the Parade and expressed his pleasure with everything he had seen. Other C~~ps have been held, three at Skegness, one at Cromford, one at Blackpool, one at Bndl1l1gton and one at St. Annes on the Sea. I inspected the last-named and the others were inspected by my Staff Officers. A new A~bulance ~or the use of the Nottingham Corps was dedicated by the Rt. Rev. Blshop eVllle S. Talbot, D.D., M.C., after Sir Dennis Readett Bayley, K.B.E., K.G.ST.J., D.L., J.P., had formally handed it over to Assistant Commissioner Gibson.

The A.RP. Lectures have been taken up with enthusiasm throughout the entire District and the classes and Examinations have been very satisfactory. The Pontefract orps was called to an explosion at Knottingley. Two journeys were made and the patients were all in bed at the Hospital in 35 minutes from the time the call wa received. The North Lincolnshire units showed a marked improvement at their Inspectio n and the Inspecting Officer had very few faults to find. Gainsbor01.~gh a~ain parad~d 100 per cent. This scattered area treated 4,655 cases and I conSIder It very sahsfactory for eight divi ions. In l'\orth Area Derbyshire, \'oluntary Aid Detachment "Derby 8" has been formed and registered by the \ Var Office. In this Area the re-examination percentage of passes wa 6·9!. Inspections were conducted in groups. Thirteen Service ~Iedal.s and 1.1. ~ars ha\'e b· n awarded. The Area reported 11 ,459 cases attended. Thlrteen DlvlslOns reportee! 1,05-+ Road Accident .A ttendances. Every Division in this Area has at least one certificated member available to give instruction in A.R.P. work. In the ,'outh-Eastern "\rea I regret the resignation of Lady District Officer :;\irs Pickerin rr due to health reasons. he was a most excellent Officer. I . inspected'" the peronnel of thl ' Area on the Doncaster Race Course on the 27th 'eptcmbcr \\ hen the Parade 'tate was 1,562. Forty-eight members from thi arca have attended the "\ .H..P. com es in London. It is a pleasure to report that orps urgeon Hart, the South-Eastern rea A.R.P. Officer, has been awarded the O.B.E., in recognition of his services in connection with the development and u, e of .. -ray apparatus. In the Torthern J\rea \Vest H.iding of Yorkshire, Road Patrols, Attendances at Public Functions, etc ., have been \\. 11 maintained with excellent results, especially WIth road accldent.s. 4,0-+7 cases were treated. 177 road accidents were attended and there \\ ere 73-+ remo\'als. In South Derbyshire evcrything proceeds excellently well. An Area Insp~c~ion \\a conclucted by "\ sistant omnllssioner Else. I regret the absence of two DIvlslOns from t.his In pectlOn . The weat.her, however, was very bad, and it was necessary for the Inspecting Officer to curtail the Inspection. . Eleven Sen'ice :'IIedals and 11 Bars have been awarded dunng 1936. Public Duty has been very sat.dactorily performed. In this Area 357 .R.P. Certificates have been granted, and there is active co-operation with the ounty l\Iedical Officer. I am again able to record the happy relationship which we have with Munici1?al Authorities, as instanced by the following letter from the Lord Mayor of the Clty of ottingham:r

"THE LORD MAYOR'S PARLOUR, THE COUNCIL HOUSE, NOTTINGHAM. 13th July, 1936 . .. I commend to my fellow citizens the \york and needs of the t. John Ambulance Brigade . .. I understand that the invaluable services of the ottingham Corps are seriously handicapped owing to lack of funds. To jeopardize the maintenance and extension of these services would be against the be t interest of the City, involving the risk of losing life and the neglect of suffering. "An Appeal is being made for funds to place the Nottingham Corps of the Brigade in a po ition to maintain and improve its many services to the public. I commend this Appeal to you, as being a sound investment for the safety and welfare of every section of the community, and thoroughly deserving of your support. " (Sgd.) ALBERT BALL, " Lord l\Iayor of ottingham." The Chairman of the City of Sheffield Central Ambulance Services writes: " The Sisters of the St.].A.B. have once more performed a great deal of voluntary work for the Services. Thirty-four Officers and Sisters have given 78 half-days totalling 3,793 hours to this work." In the South-\Vestern Area of the \ Vest Riding the general public have so far not shown much interest in A.R.t. work, but our members are enthusiastic, and many courses of instruction have been given.

ETTLF,

THE COMMISSIONER, No.5 DISTRI CT. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1936. There are 133 .Tursing Divisions in the District, an increase of five since my last report, and 2-! Cadct ursing Divisions, an increase of eight. During the year I attended inspections of various Tursing Units. Dc\\sbury Corps had a fine display of Air Raid Precaution work. Thcrc wa a real acrop lane dropping smoke bombs, a decontaminating station, and a hospital with th e nurses in attendance. I was present at the following inspections: Shipley, Wetherby, Sheffield, PonLefract, Buxton, Ilkeston, and Derby. A large number of Hospital Duties have been performed by OLlr members. During the recent influenza epidemic, several hospitals asked and obtained help for the first time, which practice we hope they will continue. Girl Guide Camps were supplied with nurses as usual. Courses of Air Raid Protection have been well attended and many certificates have been granted. The greatest keenness is displayed to learn as much as possible' of this subject. It is with much regret that the resignation of Mrs. Pickering, Lady District Officer of the South-Eastern Area of the West Riding of Yorkshire, was received. She has given most valuable service to No. V District and will be much missed . Before closing my report, I should like to express my sincere thanks to all my Lady Di~trict Officers for their loyal help. Without this it would be impossible to orgamze the large amount of work done in this District. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, MURIEL BIRKBECK, Lady District Superintendent o. 5 District.

ArvIBULA CE BRIGADE.

During the early part of the year some loss was sustained through the number of members leaving this district to work elsewhere. The industrial conditions, however, have now so far improved that the loss from this cause has almost disappeared, and the numerical strength is again increasing. The inspection of the individual units has revealed that a good standard of efficiency is being maintained, also that the average age of members in both Ambulance and Nursing Divisions is slightly lower as compared with a few years ago. Good progress has been made in A .R .P. training, and in several units both Officers and other ranks have qualified. At the present rate of progress it i reasonable to anticipate that within a Iew months practically the whole of the personnel " 'ill have received this training. In October a conference of all ' officers in the area was held in ewcastle, on which occasion we had the pleasure of the Air Raid Precautions Staff Officer (Dr. BentaJl), who addressed the meeting upon the subject of the Home Office cherne and the responsibilities of the Brigade in connection with it. The address was inslructi\'e, inspiring, and highly appreciated, and I wish to record my gratitude to Dr. Bentall for his valuable help. The conference was followed by an Officers dinner held in the Hoyal Station Hotel. The function was honoured by the presence of the Lord ::'layor of ~ewcastle (Alderman \V. J. Locke) and the.. acting Lady Mayoress; Sir Thomas Oliyer, Ridley \Varham, Esq. (Knights of Grace); Dr. Bentall (A.R.P. Staff Officer); W. T. Atkinson (County Commissioner, East Yorks). Among other distinguished guests were Colonel Clay (County Controller V.A.D.), Captain Studdy (Chief Constable of Jorthumberland), J. R. Andrews (Chairman of the Freeman), and County Councillor M. J. Mail (Chairman of County A.R.P. Committee) . A large amount of public duty was performed during the period under review, including, as in former years, ten days and nights sen'ice at the Newca tie Town Moor Festival. The following Competitions have been held during the year : -

A tnbulance. Middlesbrough Central ( . Yorks). Silver Challenge Shield City Division (N j C Corps). I orthumberland Bronze Shield Hetton-Ie-Hole Division . Durham Bronze Shield ::'Iiddlesbrough Central (K. York ). Yorkshire Bronze Shield Dean and Chapter Colliery Division . Colonel F. W. Gibbon Bowl :Murton Colliery Division .

" Robert Anderson" Cup awarded annually to the Ambulance Division in the District showing the highest standard of all-round efficiency, is held by the Hull Docks Division . Whitby Division held second place. " Storey Cup "-awarded on similar lines as the" Robert Anderson" Cup, is held by Western Division (NjC Corps) and Y.P.I. (Hull Corps). These two Divisions again tied for first place. To officers of the County Staff-especially on this occasion, I desire to mention A.R.P. Officers appointed to each county-G. R. Curry ( orthumberland) and P. S. Blunden (Durham); to Corps and Divisional Officers, and to all other ranks, I desire to tender my sincere thanks for their loyal co-operation in the work of the Brigade in this Area.

Road Duty.-I am again able to report an increase in the work done on the roads during the past season, as the following summary shows : Cases treated 253 Hours of duty performed 1-l-,73 Miles patrolled . 9,240 During the season a new Hut has been opened at Ellerby and I should like to place on record our thanks to the donors, Mr. and ::\lrs. F. Bilton, for their generosity. This makes a total of six complete Huts presented to us by these friends. The work done by our members is ever deserving of praisc. ::\rany of thcm cyclc countless miles on duty despite the weather. Celebration.-It is with pleasure I comment on the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the Central Divisions of the Hull Corps. These divisions were registered on 1st February, 1886, and the occasion was marked by a dinner held on 1st February, 1936, at which many distinguished guests were present, including the Lord ::\Iayor and Lady Mayoress of Hull. The occasion also proved a happy reunion of many of the earliest members of the Division. Confere?lce.-On 26th September an Officers' Conference was held at Bridlington and, following a Civic reception, after the conference those present attended a supper and dance in the Bridlington Spa on the invitation of the ::\Tayor of Bridlington (Councillor A. Fligg). C01npetitions.- The many usual competitions have been held during the year in addition to an inter-divisional league which has proved very successful. In thc Brigade Finals in London the Kingston Nursing Division, Hull Corps, sccured the second position . Air Raids Precautiol2S Work.-This branch of our work has increased extensively during the year and nearly every Division has at least one instructor. Ambulance Officer E. Ed'wards attended the Home Office chool of Instruction at Falfield in August last, and obtained a First Class certificate. In the Hull Area several large classes have been held and in addition we have given instruction to the local Jubilee District Turses and the staff of the Hull Royal Infirmary. For the City of Hull a local scheme of enrolment for Bngade mcmbers in an A.R.P. Auxiliary has kept our instructors busy and we are still progre::; ing. In the East Riding local units are 'working with the County Council and schemes are now in embryo embodying them for this work. We have the following certificate holders : 1 Home Office, First Class. 12 Grade 1. 48 Grade 2. 69 A.R.P . There are many classes now under instruction. Thanks.-May I, in conclusion, place on record my continued appreciation and best thanks to the Medical and Nursing professions for their valuable assistance, to the Chief Constables of the East Riding and the Hull City Policc together with their respective staffs for their co-operation and goodwill at all times, to the Press for their help, to all Officers and the rank and file of the Brigade in the area for their support and continued devotion to duty at all times, and, lastly, to the members of the County staff for their valuable assistance loyally given throughout the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours faithfully , \V.

NORTH RIDING OF YORKSHIRE . PARKHURST, MlDDLESBROUGH.

7th June , 1937 . THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1936. The strength of the Brigade in the County Area was as follows : -

181

DISTRICT.

10 Ambulance Divisions and 1 Section (unattached) 8 ursing Divisions .

445 110

17 1 Cadet

555 35

ursing Division .

18 Grand Total 590 Thesc figures show a decrease of 78 men and 4 women, but an increase of 17 Xursing Cadets. The decrease in men is again mainly in the Works Division where the Firm has dcycloped a Medical Service of its own which offers certain inducements to those who join, but the Division has now settled down to a roll of some 60 members who are keen and efficient and who will, I hope, remain a fairly stable body. Two more Road Huts have been opened during the year, one at Piercebridge by the Darlington Friendly Societies Division and one at the South Park, Darlington, by the Darlington Division. This makes a total of 12 Huts in operation, of which four are staffed by the Darlington Division. 19-1- Road .\ccidents 'w ere reported and the mileage for removals of these cases was 562. In addition 37 cases were removed with a mileage of 8,433 . There are still four ::\lotor Ambulances worked by Divisions in the area, and the old one, run by the East Cleveland Division, was replaced during the year mainly through the help of the local District Councils. Two more will probably be replaced during the current year. .A .R.P.-Five Officers attended Special Courses in London, and there are now 7 Grade 1 and 9 Grade 2 Instructors, whilst 160 members took the A.R.P. Rank and File Certificate, and 35 of the General Public qualified. r" I.D There are 45 women (6 being ::\lobile) and 31 men (15 Mobile) enrolled in the \r .. \ .D . Though happening in January, 1937, I cannot avoid expressing the great regret of all ranks in the area as well as my own personal grief at the passing away of County Officer \\'alker after a long illness . Joining the ::\Iiddlesbrough Central Division when it was formed in 1915, he passed through all ranks and followed me as Superintendent on my promotion to .\ssistan1. Commissioner. \Vhen the orth Riding was made a County Area he hecamc my faithful and trusted colleague as County Officer and Hon. Treasurer, and by his cheery presence and efficiency as a first-aider as well as by his wise judgment and unfailing tact he did much to further the spirit of voluntary service for others amongst the Divisions. He has been greatly missed. In conclusion I have again to place on record my deep sense of the fine spirit that pervades all ranks and my personal gratitude to the members of the County taff and others who ha,'c ungrudgingly given their time and energies in the service of the Brigade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRED. P . \VILSON,

County Commissioner. Commander (Brother) of the Order.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIOXER, ST. JOHN A~IBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I beg to ubmit my annual report for the year ending 31 t December, 1936. The strength of the Brigade in Herefordshire at the end of the year was a follows : Officers and ::'Ien . 99 Lady Officers and. -ursing Sisters 40 Boy Cadets 38 Girl Cadets . 30

Total 207 Decrease 13 The decrease is due to the elimination of inefficient members . It is fclt that, though judicious pruning may reduce the total strength, it is wiser to have a smaller number of men and nurses who are really efficient, and keen, than a larger number on paper, many of whom are neither efficient nor keen. Roadside dutie have been carried out at Bank holidays and week-end , with, from an ambulance point of view, disappointingly few casualties. The two ambulances staffed by the Brigade in the county continuc to do exccllent work, and are very efficiently run. The big event of the year in the county was a parade and inspection of all our units, along with units from Gloucestershire, \Vorcestershire, and ::'10nmouthshire. This was held on the Castle Green on 26th July. 968 men, nurses, and cadets werc on parade. The inspccting officer was Colonel Sleeman. After the inspection the Brigade Members marched to the Cathedral where a service was held. The efficiency of Brigade Members has been noticeably increased by the formation of an " Ambulance League" in the City, run on the lines of a football league. Various companies such as railway and bus companies enter teams, as well as the divisions . Each team plays two matches, one at home and one away. The idea was started by Y.Ir. G. R. 'Williams, a great supporter of local ambulance work, and I have been amazed at the increase in keenness and skill displayed by those taking part. In a small agricultural community like ours tIllS has been a wonderful help, as it takes the place, in some way, of actual practical experience which obviously comes the way of those in industrial areas much more than it does in ours. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, IAN W. MACGREGOR, Acting County Commissioner.

CWEF CO~Il\IJSSIONER, T. JOH .' A~IBULAXCE BRIGADE.

SIR, I have the honour to prescnt to you the report for the County of Salop for the year 1936 . During thc year under review the numbers of the Br.igade in Salop have been maintained, although a slight decrease has been made m the number of Ca d ets, and thc strcngth at the end of th~ year was as follows : Officcrs and :'Ien . 218 Lady Officers and Nursing Sisters 102 Boy Cadets 38 Girl Cadets . 28 3 6 The progress of the Xursing Divisions has been steadily maintained throughout thc ycar, and although there has been no great increase in numbers the various clasc \\ hich ha\'c been held will help to remedy this. .\11 Xlirsing Di\'isions werc inspected during the year. In spite of the fact that atle nd anc'S are difficult where members are employed during the day, a considerable amount of hospital and clinic cllltie. have b.een carried out .by sever~l of the Divisi~ms, and most Di\'ision s have had an opportunity of undertakmg Publtc Duty at \'anous functions throughout the county eluring the year. The mcmbers of all .\mbulan ce Divisions undertook valuable duties throughout the whole county at all the main public gatherin~ and especially at the. hropshire Horticultural :how, the \Yest ::.ridland . ho\\', and the hrewsbury Carmval, ,,'here t.here is alway' a ftow of casualtie . First .\id posts were al 0 maintained at race, cinemas, football matches, and local event throughout the whole county. . .\ll Units were inspected during the year, either by myself or some other responsible Officer, and the increa e and keenness and efficiency \,'as marked in all. :'Iluch work has been done during the year in the recruitment of new divisions, the r e 'lIltS of which will undoubtedlv make themselves felt during the coming years. One new Di"islOl1 \\-a formed at Ironbridge with a strength of seventeen members. During thc ycar many friendly competitions were organized both between team from the Brigade and from the British Red Cross Society, and the mutual co-operation has bcen mo t marked during the year to the benefit of both. The county \\ as strongly represented at a massed Parade held at H ereford in July, when all ranks "-ere afforded the opportu nity of making further acquaintances and friendships . The Competitions this year were so arranged that the :'len's Competition was helel under the Hereford hire Flag while the Nurses' was held at Shrewsbury. Oswcstry Nursin cy Divi ion won the District Shield and represented us in London at the Final ompetition, while a team from H ereford Kursing Divisions " -on the " Perks" Cup-awarded to a junior team. Oswestry a l 0 won the "Exham :'IIemorial " Bowl for individual work. The advent of intcnsive A.R.P. work meant that everal Divisions paid less attention than wa needed to the training for competition work with the result that the standard was not as good as usual. The County Council of hropshire have called for the co-operation of the Order and the British Red Cross Society, and the 'whole county has been split in such a way that every use is made of the two organizations with the minimum of overlapping. Join t classcs have been held and many will be started. I also desire to express my sincere appreciation of the very valuable help I have received from the staff. The County Surgeon (Dr. Edward) has been indefatigable in his efforts to promote interest in Air Raid Precautions, and is in charge of this section of the work. He further has seen that the efnciency of the county has been maintained. The County Officer ( ir. Addie) has given considerable time and trouble to the ge neral work of the Ambulance Divisions and has carried out the duties of County ecretary with zeal and ability. -

Jledical Professiorl.-I renew my since re tha nks to the 'urgeons .o f th~ Dlsinci, Corps, an d Divisions who still continue to give so generously of U1elr ltnlli~d .spare time. \Yithout their aid the Brigade could not maintain its high standard of efficlCncy.

John Ambulance Xur ing Divisions was won by the Redruth Nursing Di\'ision. I am a trong advocate for competitions, and I am certain that they stimulate and maintain interest in the work, e pecially among the younger member. I maintain that an average team of five men taken from any division should be capable of clealing \\'ith the a\'erage test, which in most instances is based upon an actual accident which has occurred in the judge's experience. In these days, when members of a division may be faced with the rendering of First Aid in serious road accidents, it is essential that all members should be capable of dealing with the injuries rapidly and efficiently, and not to depend entirely on their officers for instruction. Competition training gives the member confid e nce in themseh'es and efficiency and smartne in their work . First A id.- This was rendered on 16,725 occasions. Though 1110 t of these cases occurred in our industrial centres, many case were treated by members of our outlying country divisions. On many occasions doctor have told me of the efficient manner in which cases were dealt with before their arrival. Transpol'l.-The cases transported by motor ambulances, of which we have thirteen, totalled 2,78-1, the mileage run being 46,-156 mile. This \york is entirely done by voluntary drivers, except in one division. I would like to thank our drivers for the great work they are doing, and also thank those employers of labour who allow thei r employee time to carry out their duties at all times without deduction from their wages . I am very pleased to see that on 214 occasions the nur e accompanied the ambulance . Road Casnalties.- This year 312 accident were attended, cntailin rr a mileage of 3,334 miles.

Public Duties.-.\ll important shows, athletic gatherings, ~\llcl football matches were attended. Lifeboat Dllties.-All Cornish Lifeboats are linked up \\'ith a diyision, so that trained men are available if called upon. I would especially like to mention thc fine work done by the Penzance Division in conjunction \\ith the lifeboat at a wreck off Penzance. .

Sm, I beg to submit my report for 1936 on the Xursing Di\'i ions of Cornwall. Cases attended 1,010 Public Duties . ~49 ~Jedical Comfort 173 Beach Hut 70 Total 1,502 There have been 270 attendances at local hospitals and clinics, and one ambulance sister from the Falmouth Division did ten weeks' duty at the London Temperance Hospital. Nurses from the Falmouth, St. IYes, Hayle, and Li. keard DlVislOllS ha\'e gone out with the ambulances 214 times, and the ambulance supcrintendent.s sperlk most highly of their work and efficiency. I greatly appreciate the help which some of the ambulance sup nnt ndent.s have given to my nursing divisions; co-operation bel\\'een ambulance and nursing divisions must tend to the betterment of both, especially in country cl1strict.s. Two new cadet nursing divisions, t. 1ve and Hayle, \\'cre registered during the year, and their numbers are increasing steadily. The girls show great mtere t 111 the movement, and their intelligence and discipline prO\'e that thcy are being \\ell taught. The majority of the nursing clivi. ions rccord an inn ase in membership, and an increase in the work done, Several of our hospitals testify their appreciation of the help given thcm by our ambulance sisters, especially on Sundays, thus enabling the regular nurses to get a little extra time off. A.R,P. instruction has been taken up very well on the whole; the extra time involved in training for this important national service makes se\'ere inroads on scanty leisure, but it is given cheerfully and willingly, thus proving that it is always the busiest of people who are ready to accomplish more. If all divisions would realize that they are units of a corporate whole, working together for the advancement of our work in the country, there would be no room for apathy and lackne~.

Di\' isions in the instruction of their m embers and making the subject a matter of interest to the general public, and a number of lectures have ~een given with this object. During last year 34 officers attende~ the short c~)Urses III London. The winter of 1936 has been one of very defimte advance m A.R.P. work from a Briaade point of view, 1Iost of the Divisions have held classes for the instruction of ~lembers and the results of the examinations that have been held are very satisfactory: particularly the classes held at Falmouth, Ca~b~)l~ne, and B?dmin, where the work donc is of very high order. There are other dIvIslOns prepanng for examination at a very early date. The Jursing Divisions are, doing very good work, particularly in bringing A.R.P. work before the general pubilc. I am glad to report that the various Public Bodies are beginning to take an interest in A.R.P. wor~ a~d the work that the t. John Brigade are doing. There are a few classes. runlling m the county, in \\ hich the officials are taking interest .. The County Council have held a meetin~ in connection with thc work, and there IS no doubt that shortly some practical work will be undertaken. I am pleased to find that members of the. ~arious <:>rganizations in the. county are becomJl1<Y interested in the work-the BntIsh LeglOn, the elder sectlOns of the Girl Gui7lcs (I{angers), and Boy Scouts (Rovers).

tatement, but the first report on the new Brigade County comprising the ity and C01tnty Borough of Plymouth, South-vVest Devonshire, and Ea t orn\\·all. In _-\pril, 1936, you approved my recommendation that Devon and East Cornwall, hitherto administered from Plymouth, hould be divided into two distinct countie' for Brigade purposes with Headquarter at this city, and at Paignton, respectiYely. Pe1'sonnel.-The strength in December last year was : taff and Units. .\'os. Officers and JIembers. Staff Officers Connty 'taff 9 Ambulance Divisions 13 3r ]2 Nursing Divisions 7 Ambulance Cadets 4 66 ::-Jursing Cadet ]03 7 Totals . 31 6 1 Services Rendered.- In this county there are twelve :\Iotor Ambulances and seven St. John Ambulance Stations (Plymouth 2, DeYonport, tonehou e, Launceston, Torpoint, and Tavistock) . Some of these are taffed both day and night, including the Central Station, where there is a remarkable a sembi), of special rescue equipment in instant readiness to be ru shed to an industrial or tran port disaster, crash of an aeroplane or flying-boat , or an outbreak of fire. There \\ ere no fewer than 181 fire calls responded to from this station during the year, resuscitation sets, oxygen breathing apparatus, etc., being taken to the scen Casualty, etc., statistics reported were : -, -25 Cases Hospital and Clinic Attendances 473 3, -9 Invalid Removals Invalid Removals (Road :\Iileag ) 22.038 Hoad Accident Calls 46 c Road Accident Calls (:'lileage) ~,60:3 First Aid Huts and Post 7 St. John Jursing Stations 2

Public Dutl' . -On about 3,500 occasions the Brigade was on public duty during the year. The most notable periods being during the visit of H H II . the Duke of Kent; " Javy Week" at Devonport ; the " At Home" of] L'\L .\rm y at Plymouth; and the Royal Air Force" Day" at l\Iount Batten; the London to Land's End ~Iotor Trials; a huge camp in East Cornwall and Jamboree at Plymouth to grc t the Chief Scout; and the regular care of the player and the tremendous crowds drawn from throughout the West country to the .\ ssociation Football Ground at Home Park. \Vhilst it would be impossible to overrate the supreme val LIe of ou r peronnel at the foregoing and similar engagements such as t.he peed way, yet a 'pecial tribute is due to the devoted men and women who, in their ones and h\'os, cheerfully urrender their own pleasure to accompany little Sunday School children at the outings, to assist cripples or old people at a " treat ", or look after some fJuite obscure football team, at much physical discomfort on winter afternoons. Roadside Aid Posts and Beach Huts have been maintained and a new service opened at the popular Stoke Beach. It is interesting to recall that the HoboroughYelverton Road Patrol is believed to be the first regular First Aid service of this kind in the British Isles; but had temporarily to cease for want of men as the Great vVar progressed . Air Raid Precautions.-As may well be expected, in a great naval and military area such as this, the Brigade has been active in Air Raid Precautions . At the time of writing there are 38 Grade I Instructors, 5 Grade II Instru ctors, and 25 classe. have been arranged. Close and friendly co-operation exists with H .M. Service .'\.uthorities, and I have been privileged with a position on Passive Defence Committees. Many St. John Ambulance Brigade Officers, including six members of the County Staff, have undergone practically a week's intensive course at a leading Service Gas School. Furthermore, the Lady County Superintendent, who does a great deal of propaganda on A.R.P. amongst the general public, as well a~ AntiGas Instructional work for her Officers, has been to the Army Anti-Gas School on Salisbury Plain and qualified at its special V.A .D. Instructors' Course. Thanks to the generosity of the Committee of the Plymouth St. John Ambulance

Service, premises in the centre of the city have been adapted for A.R.P. and general training. There are not only a lecture hall and three classrooms but a permanently equipped" protected room" for demons~ratin~ ho:v ~nybody can ~repare for an air raid. There are also two apartments m thIS buddmg where respuators can be tested-one is below ground level. Service trained St. John Lady Officers and Sisters (our Grade I. Instru~tors) haye assisted in both aval and ~1ilitary Anti-Gas Displays. Follo\\,lDg theIr cooperation at the popular" avy \Veek " at D~vonpo~t, when many thousands of visitors came from all over the country, I receIved thIS message from Commodore R. B. Davies, V.c . (Chairman of the" avy \;:ree~ "). A~ter expressing 9reat appre~ia tion of the Brigade personnel he went on : . It IS con.sldere? that theu c?-ope:abon contributed very largely to the success of the Domesbc Anti-Gas Protecbo~ DIsplay and that their skill and attention was invaluable in dealing with the medIcal needs of the vi itors." Nurses and Girl Cadets.-I need not refer at length to all the many-sided activities of the 1 Tursing Divisions and their Cadets as I am attachi.ng the interesti,ng annual report of their County Superintendent which speaks for itself of all tbeir devoted and efficient services-in which their senior Lady Officer sets a remarkable example by devoting practically all her tim~ to the wo~k of the Brigad~. Pe~haps the ~ighest of the many tributes I have receIved regard lUg the Turs~s 10 thIS T cou~.ty IS t?at they were entrusted with the complete staffing of the Pnnce of V, al~s s :a:ospital (" Central" Hospital), Plymouth, when the Matro~ and urses hel~ theu Christmastide,ocial Function. There are six Voluntary Aid Detachments 11l my county. I desire to commend to your notice the \\'ork our Girl Cadets undertake, b~yond l' irst Aid and Kindred Subjects, by preparing garments, toys, etc., for poor children and little hospital sufferers. This is real education in the Spirit of our Order, and I am glad that the needs of t.he patients in our Ophthalmic Hospital at Jerusalem have also not been forgotten. Eye-shades have been made for them. .llllblllallce Cadets.- I am pleased to report added interest in Boy Cadet Units, and b\"o more haye been provisionally registered. One of these, Plymouth Central, is under the command of a smart ex-Cadet who holds the distinction of .. Grand Prior's Cadet". There are, however, still some adult divisions who are without this important attachment, but it. is po sible that two or three more boys' divisions will be formed in the near future. New S/lperinlendents.-The vacancy by the sad death of Superintendent J. C. ::\Iutton, of the Plymouth Po t Office Division, has been filled by Mr. A. E. Endean. He is fortunate, not only in the rallying to him of the men, all Postal servants, but by the sympathy and support of ;\Iajor D. K. Hopkyns, the Head Postmaster, "whom you have appointed Honorary President of this importar:-t Division. !he FOl~nder Superintendent at Stonehouse, Mr. E. G. Hack\\'orthy, IS n~\\~ ~he \lc~-Pres ldent , and has presented a Competition Trophy to encourage the DIVi Ion. HIS successor, :\Ir. R. G. Parr, is ably leading the Unit in their public service, staffing the ambulance station at Stonehouse and in the Aid Post at the \Vhitsands. Apl'l'eciation. -r.Iy Staff Officers have loyally supported me and I am very grateful for all their a sistance by in pecting, examining, and providing in so many ways the e ential link between County Headquarters and Divisions. In certain annual reports from Diyi ions there were mo t pleasing references to staff help which I was glad to pass on. The Association Committee have again meant a great deal to the Brigade workers by their financial help and other encouragements and by their S.J.A.A. Centre or Branch Classes. The happy and effective relationships with the various Civic .\uthorities, the two County Constabularies, and the Plymouth City Police in .this .. county" have all given cause for much thankfulness . Moreover, there IS a sympathetic press as you might realize by the cuttings passing through Brigad e Headquarters. To conclude, I must expres my sincere gratitude to all the Divisional Officers, N.C.O's, Privates, and Sisters who so faithfully maintain their efficiency, sacrifice their leisure, and do so many ard uous and sometimes uncongenial tasks which make possible such a report as this. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, HEDLEY V. MILLER, County Commissioner, Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

PLYi\IOVTII, SOUTIl-\\'EST DE\'ON , A. D EAST COR::-IWALL COUXTY.

I hav e the honour to submit my tenth annual report, the first, howcver, since the diyi ion of Devon County into two di ' tinct administrati\'e " counties" of tbe ~t . John .\ mbulance Brigade. The year under review-d ealing with thc activitie of the, t . John Xursing and Cadet Xursing Divi ion in the County of Plymouth, South-West Devon, and East CorO\\"a11 has been one of out tanding public sen-icc bv its members. 'Duties in connection with our great national loss in January and the crisis of December, have made the year memorable to all our Officers and member.. Although not called upon for such strenuous dutie in connection With the funeral of our late beloved Sovereign Head of the Order, as were our ister in the London area, the demands in thi port and garrison were in ales er degree a ta-...: upon our resource and personnel. I am proud to report that every duty, despite the inclemcnt \\eather, ,,'as carried out to the entire satisfaction of those re ponsible for tlw arrangement.-, and brought credit on our Di\"ision . Pllblic Duties.-The six Nursing Di\"i ' ions in the ity of Plymouth ha\'c attenc1ed 3,12 duties during the year, including staffing of ciVIC functions, concerts, hoI' e shows, pony races, Sunclay chool and other annual outings organizcc1 for juYeniles, etc. One duty which called for member to be on duty for most of the day \\a:-: in connection with the visit of H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, when he mac1c an c\.tendecl tour of the city. . nother important duty wa in connection with the Trooping of the Colours, on 23rd June, on the occa ion of the birthday celebrations of h:ing Edward "III. This duty, perhaps more than any other, emphasized in no uncertain "'ay the great importance of staff being on duty a \'ery considerable tIme before the actual ceremony. Owing to the inten e heat, an elderly "cnlleman "a ' eized with sudden illness which pro\-ed fatal. Xavy Week .- t . John )l"urses again co-operated in staffing a temporary hospItal at the Sick Quarters of the R.X. Barracks under the upen'islon of the 1< X ::'IIedical Staff, and also patrolled certain parts of the dockyard where thc ~ -,1\ al .\uthontlCS "'ere in charge of Aid Post "\\'e " 'ere honoured in being asked to assist the staff of the R .N. Anti-Gas chool, in the lecture demonstrations to the general public visiting ?\avy vVeek. The" Gas Proofing" of a room proved a \'cr) grcat attraction Those selected to assist the staff of the .\nti-Gas School "erc offlccrs and member who had received training at that establishment, and who ar Grade I Instructor' of the Brigade. Similar duties were undertaken by t\\·o of the officers in connection \\ itl! the A.rmy " At Home" to the public at the Royal itadel, Plymouth, and the commanding officers of each establishment sent lctters of appreciation for the sen-ices rendered by these members. Call7ps.-Another important duty undertak 11 "as in connection \\ ith the Boy Scouts Jamboree and Camp at :'Iount Edgcumbe Park, the beautiful grounds of our President, the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. Two Lady Officers of Friary Tursing Division were in residence at the Camp for ten days, and uncleI' the supen'i'io n of the Camp Medical Officer, 591 cases passed through their hands during that period. Unfortunately the Chief Scout was among this number, but expressed hi' g rateful appreciation for the attention received, and also for the arrangements made for dealing with casualties and sick cases. Diversity of lan guages made the task of our members difficult at times, but the duty " 'as in every way satisfactory. Camp for Crippled Children at lUal? cl'.-Thi duty was again undertakcn by the member of the Co-operative Division who has so ucces ,fully undertakcn it for several years. First Aid Post at Plymouth Hoe. - This duty was carried out undcr better conditions, a suitable hut being provided by the City Council to replace the tent which was destroyed by the gales of the previous year. Over 100 visitors received Fir t Aid during the period the Hut was staffed. Of the 3,128 duties attended, First l\id has been rendered 1,145. Ambulance Stations at Greenbank and Notte Street are staffed from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily, although, o.",ving to structural alterations at Notte Street, ,\'e hacl to discontinue the duty for several months; this has, however, again re-commenced. Nurses attend casualties in the casualty stations and accompany females and children being removed by ambulances. 1,725 removals were attended by Nurses, with a 4

To London 7 Essex 1 urrey . 1 Cheltenham 1 Exmouth 1 Other" Out of City Hen;'ovals " were by l\mbul ances. . lltp Rc-lIIovals.-This has now become routine duty, and the Nurses, who undertake the e sometime hazardous journeys with great confidence, have had remarkable 'ilH... CCSS. The ga les of the past year have on many oc~asions made .the trip on the Tender to Plymouth Sound a very uncomfortable affalr, but all patIents have been skilfully r emoved in conjunction with our highly trained ,\mbulance Stretcher Squad'. ll ospital alld Orl/zopa!dic Clillic duties ha\'e been continued regularly, and -!73 attendances made during the year. During emergency periods of sic!rness among the staff of t.he general hospitals, our members have undertaken duty m the w.ards. On the occasion of the Prince of \Yales's Hospital, Lockyer treet, :'Iatron's Dmner and D,tnce t.o 'taU on 2 th December, our members were again honoured with the task of completely staffing the hospital. "\Ve feel this is a tribute to the efficiency of our members, and wc greatly appreciate the confidence of the illatron. \\' c are deeply indebted to the Matron of the Prince of \Va les's Hospital, Greenb~nk, for allowing our young ::'Ilobile \' .. \ .D.'s to attend the hospital on Sunday mornmgs (four each Sunday), for periods of three months, for training purposes. . T'ol/(l/laJ)' . lld Dctac/zlllel1ts.- The six detachments in the city have all r eceived \ ery satis factory reports in connection \\'ith the , \nnual \Yar Office and County ontro\ler's In pection . . l ir Raul PrecalltloJ/s . -Training has been continued throughOl.~t.the year,. both in Diviions and amon~ organized" bodies" \\"ho have requested trammg. Candldates have bcen very successful at the examinations at the end of the courses. COIII/JClltioJLs.-These have again stimulated that" Extra Efficiency so desirable among the memb r~. ,uccesses include the winning of the "Bec~ly .C~1? by Plymouth entral and the" hillitoe Cup by Plymouth Co-operative D1v1slons. Cadets. .\lthou gh recruiting on11 maintains the trenoth of Divisions consequent on losses, and does not. greatly add to membership as one would wish, the. work accompli heel by the Xur ing Cadet Di\-i. ions is very encouraging. At Chnstmas they made their usual effort to bring happiness to sick and poor children, and as a result of their efforts parcels of toys and dainty knitted garments were sent to {we local hoplta].." the ripples id, Probation Officer, and Inspector for N.S.P.C.C. Tlus deSire to " sen'e " 1S very marked among our cadets. Those who have been transferred to the ranks of the Senior Divisions have proved the value of Cadet training-, and in ome cases have already been appointed officers in the Nursing Di"isions. There is an urgent need for more Cadet Officer, with qualifications for this high ly important task of instructing our younger members in the various subjects in the Cadet urriculUl11. In conclusion I desire to thank all Officers and members who have co-operated with me during the year, and for the efficient manner the numerous duties have been carried out. JJ

SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the county of .l\ort.h, East, and ;,IiJDevon for the year 1936 . As you are aware the administration of the County of Devon wa divided early in the year, and as my figures do not include those of the Plymouth, South Devon, and East Cornwall area, which is now a separate county, a compari on of the number of personnel, statistics, etc., with tho e of 1935 is somewhat misleading.

Superintendent R. P . Tarring has resigned from the Bu ckfastleigh Division, Superintendent R. W. Hudson from the Kingsbridge Division, and Superintendent G. E. Bowden from the South Molton Division. In each case, except Bu ckfastleigh , these positions have been satisfactorily filled. Sir Garbutt Knott, of Exmouth, and Mr. Harold G. Michelmore, of Newton Abbot, have been raised from the rank of Officer to that of Commander of the Order of St. John. Both these gentlemen have rendered great service to the Brigade in their respective districts. Lady Superintendent Miss Colli hole, of the Torquay Nursing Division, and Ambulance Officer Matthews, of the Exmouth Ambulance Division, have been admitted to the Order as Serving Sister and Serving Brother respectively.

B erea7.:elllfJ nts . -I regret to have to report the death of Lieut.-Col. H . Spackman, late Assistant County Commissioner of the East Devon Area, and Superintendent A. Ticholls, who was for several years associated with the work of our Ashburton Division. ROlltine. - I have had no returns from the Christow Ambulance Division, the Dartmouth Kursing Divi ion, or the Exmouth Cadet Ambulance Division, while t.he 'alcombe Ambulance and Nursing Divisions bave ceased to exist. I am pleased to be able to state that new Nursing Divisions have been registered at Gitti ham, Braunt.on, and Combe :Mart.in. One satisfactory feature is the increasing interest being shown in tbe junior sections of our work. During the year Ambulance Cadet Divisions have been formed at Braunton, Brixham, Combe Martin, and Totnes . Phyllis Smith, of the Paignton Cadet. I ursing Division, has qualified for the Grand Prior's Badge, and this has been applied for on ber behalf. Several of the Cbudleigh and Exeter Ambulance Cadets have obtained ;,Iedal and Certificates of the Royal National Life Saving 'ociety, and adet Superintendent Langmaid, of Exeter, took his lads to camp for the eighth ucce ive year. olonel . L. Ellis, C . ;\U: . , of Torquay, took an Inspection of the ~orth Devon \rea Divi ion in Rock Park, Barnstaple, early in ;,Iay, and the function was largely attended by t.he public. The Barnslaple Association has had a new Motor Am.bulance presented to them by an anonymous donor, and the Combe :'Iartin Division has purchased an Ambulance for usc in t.hat district. Through the co-operation of the North Devon Aerodrome the Barnst.aple .\ ssociation has been able to offer facilities for transport hy air in lhe e\ cnl of urgent cases needing treatment. The Axminster Division bas also purchased a motor ambulance. . 1.R P. This new branch of our work has created \\·idespread interest among our peronncl J am plea ed to ay that our County and Divisional Surgeons have responded nobly to this fresh call on their en·ices. Fourteen bave been appointed Grade I I n",lruclors and Examiners, eleven of whom ha\'e taken the week-end courses in L~)lldon at various times, while Captain Richard Gray, of Exeter, also attended t.he Home Office Cour:e at Falfield in August last, and obtained a First Class erlificatc. .\l the beginning of December I was able to arrange meetings at Exeter and i>aignlon, and we had the privilege of lectures by the _\ssistant Surgeon-in-Chief, Dr . . BenlaH, 0 B E. These gave our Officer the opportunity of obtaining much fresh information on the subject. . JpprecllItlOlI.- I would like to take this opportunity of thanking my Assistant County om missioner , ,taft Officer5. Corps and Divisional Officers for their as istance in maintaining t.he "'ork of the Brigade, and the Hank and File for their loyal co-olwration, without which it would be impossible for me to carryon. I cannot close thi report without thanking my Honorary Secretary for her valuable help and assi tance in the work at County H eadquarters. The assistance given t.o Brigade work by the various branches of the St. John ;\m~ul ance .\ s ociation is yery much appreciated, and J rlesire to expre s my gratttude to t.heir Honorary ecretaries for their continued support . .r~ conclusion l11y thanks are due to the Pre s for the publicity they are alway. ,,"tilIng to give to our organi7ation and its acti\·ities.

An informal meeting of the Officers was held during the summer a~ Sidm.outh, when many matters affecting the area were discussed. These meetmgs \\"111 be continued durin a the comina year, they solve many problems, and do so much to maintain the spirit of co-op~ration and comradeship, which I am pleased to state exists among all ranks and Divisions in this area. Sir Garbutt Knott, Bart. , a Commander of the Order, has provided a hand .o~ne c up with replicas for competition among Divisions in the area. The fir t competltlOn will be held in 1937 . E:rpansion.-Close attention is gi\-en to the po sibilities of exp~ n.sion. As nearly all the centres of population are in the coastal towns ,,".here DIVISions are already established, and the remainder of the large area con I ts of spar. ely popula~ed country with small villages, this presents a difficulty. Je:,erth('l.e~s,. plans are ~emg made whereby these villages may b e grouped by quads mto nl\' l~lOn or ectlOl1. A considerable area h a been delegated to orps Officer E .•\ .

This interest ha been much apprecIated. DIVISION,\L HEPORTS.

Axminster and District.-The Competition for the _\.lhu ean up ,,·~s held early in the vear. The benefit to individual practical work has been made cnclent. This'Division, under Superintendent B. H. H arri , now operates the ,\mbul~ncl' transferred from Sid mouth, and the necessity of motor transport nearer tha n HOlllton (Red Cross) bas been proved beyond doubt. A croP. of erious a.c~iden t in tht: district occurred immedia tely after the transfcr. Captall1 Nuttall (I\'ll1ght of Grace ) a nd Jdrs.

H.owland on, D.S.O., J .P., has carried out useful work. Football matches, fetes, etc., have been reiSularly attended. The Beach Hut First Aid Station has been regularly staffed dunng the summer with the co-operation of the local Red C.ross V.A.D. O\'er 1.1- patients have been treated, as compared " 'ith 76 last year. It IS hoped the decrease 111 personnel will be made good in the coming year. . Exmouth To wn Division.-There has been marked progress 10 almost every department of Ambulance work. A flat over the garage has ?een added to t~e Headquarters, and the financial burden largely eased by a maglllficent gIft of £;)00 from their patron, Sir Garbutt Knott, Bart. Tbe Division under Superintendent Southwell was approached by the local Council to take over the whole of the Ambulance work of the area, with the result that this has now been arranged on a satisfactory ba sis. Duties at sports meetin.gs, swimming galas, have been carried out and the Beach Hut regularly staffed dunng the summer months . E:~mouth Police and Fire Brigade.-This Division, which is restricted to P?li~c an d Fire Brigade, is at full strength. This is testimony to the interest taken 10 .It by the Superintendent, Police Inspector Holmes . Excellent work has been. done 10 rendering First Aid and transport. As the Ambulance and Transport dutIes have been transferred from the D.D.C. to the Town Division, the number o[ cases treated

will not appear so high in future returns. Excellent harmony and co-operation exists between the two local Divisions. jl olliton.-ilIost satisfactory progress has been made and there has ?een .a. ~ub stantial increase in membership. Gittisham section is a ttached to thiS DlvislOn. All members are keen, and arrangements have been made for staffing the East Devon Am bulance. l{ed Cross between certain hours, if required.

The outdoor practices held during the s ummer proved very helpful. A.R.P. lectures are now 10 pro~re -. SzdlJlolltlz.-A ne'" and up-lo-date Ambulance has been purchased. There was an e,'cellent parade of the area at the Dedication in June. Cliff. rescue apparatus has been added to the equipment. This was used for the fir~t tII~e to rescu e tw.o persons who werc marooned on the cliffs, and in a dan~?~rous sltu~tion. Great credit is due to the rescue party. Superintendent A. \V.

NORTH DEvo~ AREA.

I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Xorth Devon Area for th e year ending 31st December, 1936, . . The area consists of 1 Assistant ounty ComrrusslOner, 1 County Surgeon, 1 County Officer, 1 Corps Officer, 7 mbulance Divisions with 19 Officers and 123 other ranks, 3 Cadet Di\'isions with -1 Officers and 57 other ranks. All Divisions have worked excellently during the year and have maintained that high standard which is now expected of them. . . Bamstaplc.-There has been a decrease of strength OWlllg to members leavmg the district and an effort is being made to obtain new members. .\ steady service of public duties has been maintained an.d an emergency duty system in operation whereby there are always two me~ <l:valla.ble for t~an~port ~r other work. The reo-ular daily duty of carrying chromc mvahds upstairs 10 theIr homes is continu ed a~d much appreciated. Thirty road accidents have been attended and in one charaba nc accident occurring late at night, 16 people were treated and 12 removed to hospital. In thi. case the Division was warmly congratulated on their very prompt response. . . The Motor Ambulance service ha been regularly mamtamed and an anonymous donor has generously presented a new ambulance. The Di"ision won the o. IX District Shield at \Veymouth and represented the District at the Brigade Finals in London, and won the Lady Forester Cup at B~d~ford, the Pengelly Cup (Best Individual, Devon), the Hoerman Cup (Best IndiVIdual, Lady Forester Competition), and the Individual Challenge Cup for \Vest of England Fire Brigades Ambulance Competition.. . A course of lectures in A.R.P, work has been gIven and 3 Grade II Certi£cates gained, the remainder obtaining the Brigade Certificate. Bideford.-The good progress of last year has been maintained and excellent work done . 87 cases have been treated by Brigade members during the year, while the Motor Ambulance has received 173 calls involving a mileage of 3,068 miles, showing that the work of the Brigade is steadily increasing. First Aid classes have been held with excellent re ults and .\ .R.P . lectures well

attended, all entrants for the subsequent exa.mination obtaining certificates. Supt. Hockaday, a Grade II Instructor, has done excellent work in this subiect and bas formulated a plan to be followed by the town in case of air raid, as well as interesting the general public in this very necessary work. The Division ,,·orks in close co-operation with the Local ,A ut.horities and the Lifeboat services. Braul1lo11.-This Divi ion has made very atisfactory progre s throughout the year, and although removals decreased the member hip by eight, four ne\\' members have already joined . Fifty cases have been attended and regular dut.ies maintained in t.h e summer at Saunton Dres ing Station, and a similar station commenced at Croycle J1a". Aerodrome duties are undertaken at Heanton Court during the summer and a t Hying meetings, etc., at other times throughout the year. This young Division is working excellently and maintaining the high tradit.ions of the Order. Combe llIartin.- Althou gh working in a small locality, much ecellent work has been done and 8~ cases attended, some of a serious nature. The out.st.andlng event of the year is the acquisition of a mot.or ambulance which has already pron~d its usefulness on several occasions. The recently organized Association is ,,·orking \\cll and taking grcat. intere t. in the Brigade. First Aid Posts have been established at t.h e seaside and at t.he top of the t.own , and members are haying their hou ses marked wit.h the c1evice of the Brigade. Members have reg ularly attended public functions, including all football anc! crIckct matches. A course of lectures in A.R.P. have been given. I~fraconLbe.-S teady work well done throughout. the year has further cstabli-,hed this Division in the public eye, \\'hile the numerical trength has been Jf1creased by two in spite of remova ls . The beach hut at \Voolacombe \Va maintained during the summer in conjunction with the Red Cross, and much praise received for the t.reatment of many cases, some of a serious nature. Towards the end of th e year a course of instruction in Element.ary First. "\icl was commenced with a view to the formation of a Cadet Division and t.he classe were well attended. Best thanks are due to Sergeant Eogcrs for his keen int.erc'>t and help in this direction. Lynton and L ynmouth.-A small Division working excellently in hilly a nd difficult country, the major part of the work being han port of invalids and accident cae . Road accidents have been common, but the universal use of . afety glass on motor vehicles has reduced the severity of injuries. All calls have been punctually ob yed and much appreciation shown to the Division for their prompt and skilled a si tance, often given under diffi culties . One case of resuscitation is reported, breathing being re-established in an apparently drowned bather after twenty minutes . Excellent relations are maintained with Police, Hospital, and Di trict :0l ur 'es, while the Division works in complete harmony under its able Superintendent; :\1r. P. T. Kimmins. South Jllol~on.-For years under strength, thi Division is now full stren gth, thanks to its capable officers, Drs . Seal and Nash. The Division has answered every call made upon it, established a First id Post a t Aller Cross, ancl attended many pu blic events. The motor ambulance has travelled 2,658 miles, and carried T cases of accident and illness. The position in South Molton is thoroughly satisfactory, and a ttention is now being paid to A.R.P. work in conjunction with the local A.RP. Committee. Cadets.-The Cadet movement is now growing in orth Devon, two new Divisions having been registered, one at Combe 1artin on 20th April, 1936, and one at Braunton on 15th June, 1936. It is quite likely that a Division will be formed at I1fracombe in the near future. Both these new Divisions are keen and are fortunate in having the belp and interest of the members of the senior Divisions. The Barnstaple Cadet Division is maintaining its high standard of work and are ably led by Superintendent Isaacs. While these Divisions form an excellent recruiting ground for the senior Divisions, the gap between the senior cadet stage and membership of the senior Division still has to be bridged and it is hoped that some official action will be taken to prevent losing possible recruits from this cause. Motor Amblflances.-\Vith the Combe Martin Ambulance the area is now well

served and Barnstaple duties can be lightened. Every care is taken in the maintenance of the veJ:icl~s in. which Divisions sho",,:, great pride, and all calls are promptly answered. A redJstnbubon of Ambulance DIstricts is under consideration in this area so that Combe fartin can take its share of work in country districts. Air Raid Precautions.-All Divisions have received or are receivinO' instruction and in many districts the general public have attended lectures a~d a numbe; obtained certificates. Five officers hold Grade I certificates and each Division ha s one or more members holding Grade II certificates. The A.R.I>. film was sho\\·n in cinemas throughout the area last spring, and officers havc lectured to a number of outlying villages. There is much more enthusiasm being shown in this work a nd public bodies are moving in the matter. No Division has p.ermanent A .RI>. eq.uipment, but it is hoped to remedy this so that frequent practIses and dcmonstratlOns can bc held. IJlspcctloH. "\t. a raUx h eld in Rock Park, Barnstaple, on 3rd May, 200 Officers and" othcr. ranks. were In spected by Colonel Ellis who reported very favourably. i\ l ' ~r~t ...\Jd t~bon e.rected on the spot was also inspected and met with approval.

JUIlC,

THE CHIEF COM,-USSIO""ER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIG.\DE. IR,

I have the honour to submit to you my annual report for 1936. One new Division has been formed at Bridport and the strengt.h of the whole county is now as follows : }Ien 238 98 Nursing 17 Cadets. making a total of 353, an increase of 9. It is to be regretted that the Boy Cadets of the Poole Corps have been disbanded, owing chiefly to the fact that the :.nembers in charge are unable to put in the extra time necessary. Steps are being taken to form a Cadet Corps, boy and girls, in Weymouth. The Annual Inspection was held at Blandford, and was well attended by all Divisions; Ambulance and ursing were well represented. The Inspecting Officer was Colonel C. 1. Ellis. It has been my policy so far as is possible to have Annual Inspections in areas where there is a new Division, in the hope that the publicity may help on the work where little is known about the Brigade. I am very pleased to be able to report that the \\'eymouth ursing Division were top in the District Competitions for the Perrott Shield, and in due course went to the finals in London, where they carried off two of the five trophies, viz. the Mount Garrett Cup and the Chalmet"s Trophy, This is the first occasion on which a Nursing

DISTRICT.

225

Division in the county has been successful in London, and great credit is due to Dr. Cooper, the Divisional Surgeon, for the work put in for coaching. Good progress has been made with the A.R.P. work, and I now have a Grade I Instru ctor with the Falfield qualification, viz. Corps Officer A. E. Cox, attached to the County Staff, who is putting in a great deal of time in lecturing and examining. The First Aid Hut on the sands at \Veymouth has been open all the summer. A large number of cases are attended during the season at this popular holiday resort. The public duties undertaken by the Poole Corps are heavy and entail duties every evening at two cinemas, and also football matches and civic functions within the Borough. In addition the men and nurses carry out duties at First Aid Stations at Sandbanks and Branksome Chine. Also during the year under review the men and nurses did duty at the Alderney Fever Hospital during the unfortunate outbreak of typhoid, the women taking over the telephone duties and the men, porter's duties at the gate. This may perhaps be a little outside the usual Brigade work, but it was all in the cause of humanity for which we work. Two of the Divisions are now in pas ession of their own ambulances, viz. Dorchester with a mileage of 2,220 and Shaftesbury with a mileage of 1,893 . Elsewhere in the county ambulances are the property of local authorities, but the transport work i carried out by voluntary members of the Brigade. The Building Fund for a HeadC]uarters at Weymouth is proceeding, and next year the ~Iayor, ouncillor Bert Biles, will open a subscription list, which it is felt will certainly be a success and should enable us to make a start in the coming year with this very much needed building. The grat.eful thanks of the Division are due to the Mayor for his loyal and helpful support at all times, not only in this, but in other matters connected with the Brigade. I have again to record my high appreciation of the services of my County Staff Dr. Bowes (County urgeon), Major Forbes (District Officer), and ::\1rs. Lansdown (Lady County Officer). for the help given in many things, and also to the officers and all other rank for their keenness and loyal support at all times. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. H . RODIER HEATH, County Commissioner. Officer of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

19th ;Ual', 1937. THE CHIEF CO;\DllSSIQ:\"ER, ST. JOHN A:lIBULANCE BRIGADE, . T. J011:'<'S GATE, CLERKEKWELL, LONDO:\",

E.C. 1.

IR,

I have t.he honour to submit my report for the year 1936. The demands upon Brigade personnel for Public Duties grow almost faster than we can meet them, and in view of this I was particularly pleased to recommend the registration of two new Ambulance Divisions in Dublin itl' during the year. The motor racing events are on the inc rea e here as elsewhere, and the number of Pilgrimages to Lourdes and even t.o places \\ i thin our shores is a Iso grea t.er. The Transport ervice of the Joint Committee is always requisitioned on these occasions, and also the a sistance of Brigade ::'Iemuers at lIolyhead and Folkestone. I have recei\'ed many cordial apprec.iations of our \\'ork from the organIzers of the various Pilgrimages. The Spring Sho\\' and the Horse Show of t.he Hoyal Dublin ociety here \\'ere staffed as usual by the Brigade. At the First Aid Hut in O'Connell treet 1,562 cases were tre<tt.ed, viz. 1 - 4 by the day orderly and 608 by the night and Sunday staffs. In the Hut at Phoenix Park Football Grounds and the 'eaide Huts at ::\Ierrion, Killiney, and Bray considerable services were rendered to the public during the respective seasons. During the year 876 im'alid requisites were lent out from the Dublin Depot, an increase of 149 on the previous year, and good work wa carried out. at the Bray and Naas Depots under the supen'ision of Lady Superintendents ::\liss L. 'chroecler and :Mrs. E. McGee respectinly. A jumble sale organized for this and the. tores Department. realized £53 12s. 6el. From the Stores Department 67 requisitions for medical stores c.onsist.wg of 420 items were dealt ".-ith on behalf of the Ambulance and Xursing Divisions and t.he Huts. Six requisitions totalling 90 items were handled in connect.ion with t.he Eoyal Dublin Society Shows and the Pilgrimages and 51 requisitions t.otalling 360 items were issued and paid for. The value of stores issued free was £76 2s. 10d . The "vork of the Invalid Transport Service increases each year. During the ye..tr under review 2,365 cases were mO\'ed. Of these, 753 very poor patient::; were transported free of charge. Ambulance Sisters attend each day to go with female patients when required, and during the waiting periods they give assistance by sewing for the Stores and \Velfare Departments. In my last report reference was made to the closing of one of the \VeHare Dining Rooms bringing the number down to three. It was found absolutely essential to provide a dining room again in the north-east area of the city, and premises have been rented and repaired at the rear of Mountjoy Square and opened in October. During the year 59,171 dinners were served at a cost of £ 1,7 19 19s. 10d. 19,666 pints of soup were taken home. There were 612 confinements, and the cost of the maternity grants were £443. 526 garments were given by the Central \Vorkroom for distribution in the Dining Rooms.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st December, 1936. During the year two new Divisions (one Ambulance and one Nursing) have been formed in orthern Ireland, and a steady increase in personnel has also taken place. The following table shows the strength of the Brigade at the end of the year under review : DIVISIONS. PERSONNEL. Men. Women. Total. l'vIen. Women. Total. 10 10 20 268 224 492 It is with very. d~ep regret I. have to report the great loss which the St. John Ambulance AssocIatIOn and BrIgade have suffered during the latter half of 1936. I n August, after a very short illness, the Hon. Lady Kennedy passed away and a few weeks later a further great loss was sustained by the death of Sir Robert Kennedy, K.C. M.G. Sir Robert and Lady Kennedy occupied a very important place in the Order of

IImLAND (

LSTER) DrSTl{lCT.

21D

St. John. Sir Robert had recently been promoted to the Grade of Knight of Justice, and the Hon. Lady Kennedy was a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of St. John. The loss of both leaders was a very severe one and will be felt in Northern Ireland for many years. During the year lhe services of Dr. R. W. M. Strain and l\lr. J. H. Rea, of Banbridge, were recognized, the former being promoted to the position of District Surgeon, Torthern Ireland, and the latter was admitted to the Order as a Serving Brother. The following officers have been recommended by me for the following positions : ::'IIr. D. Parker, Assistant Commissioner for the Counties of Antrim and Londonderry. ::'.1r. A. \V. Mann, Assi tant Commissioner for the City of Belfast. 11r. J. H. Hea, Banbridge, Acting Assistant Commissioner for the Counties of Armagh and Down. Later ::\Ir. A. \V. ::'I1ann was appointed A.R.P. Officer (Staff) St. John Ambulance Brigade Iorthern Ireland, and ;"Ir. \V. Allen was promoted to the position of Assistant Commissioner for the City of Belfast. ~Ir. \V. \Vilton was promoted to the position of County Officer. PIlUltC Duly.-The Belfast Fire Brigade Ambulance Division, under the super\"iion of 1\1r. John Smith, as usual rendered valuable assistance in the transport of injured to hospitals and in many other ways. Ulster International Tourist Trophy Cay Race.-The medical arrangements for this important event were as usual under my entire supervision. I regret to report a very serious accident occurred on this occasion on the r ewtownards Section of the course, when one of the drivers left the course and unfortunately drove into a crowd of spectators. I had members of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions promptly on the spot. who assisted in having the dead and injured com-eyed to the local hospital. I regret to state that eight people were killed and twenty-three were more or less seriously inj ured. The services of the St. John .\mbulance Brigade were frequently called for during the year, including the Horse and Cattle Shows, Balmoral Ulster Agricultural Show, the R.U.C. Annual ports, Ivy Cycling Sports, Grand Prix Motor Cycle Race, and the Carrowdore Road Race. Com'/Jetitions.-The annual competitions \\-ere held in Belfast on the 20th June, 1936. Eleven teams of men entered. The" Belfast" Challenge Cup was won by the City of Dublin Division, S.J.A.B. The" Lord ~Iayor's" Cup by the Heysham Steamers Team, Belfast. and the" Ulster Red Cross" Cup (Novices), by the Belfast Central Division, . T.A.B. Tineteen women's teams entered for the competitions. The" Swiney Red Cross" Cup was awarded to the West Belfast Nursing Division, the" Lady McCullagh" Cup to the Harcourt ursing Division, Dublin, the "Commissioner's" Cup and the" District Surgeon's" Cup ( ovices) to Bangor Briti h Red Cross Detachment and \Vest Belfast ursing Division No.2 Team. Annual Inspection.-I am pleased to be able to report that I was successful in securing the sen-ices of Dr. N. Corbet Fletcher as Inspecting Officer. The Inspection was held in the Ulster Hall on Saturday afternoon, 2nd ::'Iray. Dr. Corbel Fletcher gave the Divisions a thorough inspection and I am pleased to say was satisfied with the large turnout of the various Divisions. Dr. Fletcher stated that" all \\"as well with the Brigade in orthern Ireland ". On the evening before the Inspection Dr. Corbet Fletcher gave an interesting and practical address to the members of the Brigade in the City of Belfast. The large lecture room was crowded to its utmost capacity and Dr. Fletcher's advice and instruction was greatly appreciated. Air Raid Precau.tions.-Taking advantage of the week-end monthly intensive Course of lectures held in London a number of the Divisional Surgeons, Officers, and members of both Ambulance and ursing Divisions were sent to take the course. It is hoped during the coming year to utilize the services of these members for the purpose of instructing classes of members of the Brigade and also the general public. Ulstev Centve Classes.-During the year a record was reached in the number of First Aid and Nursing Classes formed in connection with the Ulster Centre of the Association. In First Aid there were 32 classes, 13 m ale and 19 female . The number who received the full course of instruction was 636, and they were awarded 398 certificates, ~8 vouchers, 32 medallions, and 24 labels . There were 54 failures. These figures lll.clude.awards in the local Mercantile Marine Branch . There were two Preliminary FIrst AId Classes, who received 38 certificates.

STRENGTH. There has been a net increase of 47 Divisions, 59 new Divisions (40 Ambulance and 19 Nursing) having been formed, and 12 Divisions (10 Ambulance and 2 Nursing) having been disbanded. There has been an increase of 1,006 in the personnel (an increase of o er 6 per cent), so that the strength of the Brigade Overseas at 31st December, 1936, was:Ambulance Nursing .

THE ST. JOH~ A:'!BULANCE BRIGADE OVER EAS.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

INSPECTIONS OVERSEAS BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

CANADA.

Colonel Sleeman returned in June, 1936, after carrying out Visitations of the Establishments of the Order in Southern Africa and New Zealand and Inspections of units of the Brigade in Australia, Ceylon, and Malta. Colonel Sleeman's full reports of his tours of Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand have been printed as separate publications and circulated to all concerned and a summarized report is also printed as an addendum to this report. He left England again on the 13th November, 1936, to carry out a further tour of Inspection of Brigade units in India, Ceylon, and Hong Kong.

The work of the Brigade in Canada in the second full year under the Commandery of the Order in Canada is showing signs of growth. Six new Divisions have been formed and the Commandery Commissioner reports that in all parts of the country efforts are being made to form new Divisions.

PUBLIC DUTY.

It is a matter for satisfaction that, for the first time for many years, I have not to refer in this report to Public Duty performed by members of the Brigade Overseas at a major catastrophe. The regular work of the Brigade Overseas has, however, been carried on from day to day and the absence of Public Duty carried out in the spectacular conditions of a great disaster does not in any way lessen the magnitude or importance of the work thus performed. During the year it is estimated that members of the Brigade Overseas attended to 94,853 cases while on Public Duty, which figure, I think, speaks for itself. DRESS REGULATIO

The revision of the Dress Regulations (Nursing) has been completed during the year and copies circulated. With reference to the work in each Dominion :AUSTRALIA.

A full report on Colonel Sleeman's visit to Australia appears in the addendum to this report and I have only to add that the signs of progress reported by Colonel Sleeman have been supported by the formation of seven new Divisions during the year. In the South Australia District much excellent work has been done during the South Australia Centenary Celebrations and on the occasion of the Floral Pageant in connection with the Celebrations over 600 cases were dealt with by members of the Brigade. From New South Wales I learned with much regret of the death of Captain H. J. W. Brennand, Assistant Commissioner on the Staff of the New South Wales District, after many years spent in the service of the Brigade. In New South Wales instruction in Aid Raid Precautions has been given and over 1,200 members have received preliminary instruction. In Tasmania the newly formed Divisions have consolidated their position and the formation of other units is in progress. BERMUDA.

The work of the Brigade in Bermuda is being maintained in the face of much difficulty. Public Duties have been carried out during the year, including service at a railway accident at St. Georges.

CEYLO .

Once again the strength of the Ceylon Police Corps shows an increase and there are now over 1,900 members. Many cases of excellent First Aid rendered during the year by the members of the Corps have again come to light and the Meritorious First Aid Certificate of the St. John Ambulance Association was awarded to two members of the Corps in 1936, making a total of five such certificates issued to members of the Corps. The work of the District was further advanced by the formation of a Division from among the members of the Colombo Fire Brigade. HO G KONG.

The Brigade in Hong Kong continues to maintain its strength and efficiency under the leadership of 11r. A. Morris whose interests are entirely d "voted to the \\'ork of the Order in Hong Kong. The strength of the District has increased by two new Divi ions during the year. For the fir t time the Hong Kong Di trict of the Brigade took part in the King's Birthday Review and was also asked to provide a Guard of Honour on the occasion of the visit of the Official Party from Canton, both of which honour were greatly appreciated. INDIA.

It is a matter for great regret that Sir David Petrie, Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas within the Empire of India, retired during the year. ir David ha , during his term of office, greatly helped forward the work of the Brigade both in strengthening the existing Divisions and in the development of new work. Two new Districts have been formed during the time he was Chief Commissioner and our work has been extended to Burma. The great earthquake disasters at Bihar and Quetta have been tl~e outstanding calls made upon the resources of the Brigade during SIr David Petrie's command and it is a credit to him, as well as to the individual members, that the Brigade responded so well to the heavy demands made upon it and so ably maintained the traditions of the Order. Sir David Petrie has been succeeded as Chief Commissioner by Sir Ernest Burdon whose co-operation and help I greatly welcome. I am glad to be able to report that the All-India Competitions were held during the year and for the first time took place at Bombay. The first competition for the Shield presented for Competition among Cadets by Sir Philip Chetwode was included in the programme. At Bombay also a new note was struck at the annual inspection of the Bombay District by His Excellency The Governor when Purdah women were on parade for the first time in history. The first Volunta~y Ai~ ~.etachment in .India formed from among members of a Nursmg DIVISIOn of the Bngade has been established at Calcutta.

CHIEF COMMISSIONER'S TOUR

There has been an increase in the strength of the Malta District during the year and the members have maintained their services on Public Duty. Great interest has been taken in Malta in Air Raid Precautions Training and during the year 8 Instructor's Grade 2 Certificates and 17 Rank and File Certificates have been issued by St. John's Gate to members of the Malta District. NEW ZEALA D.

I am happy to report that the work in New Zealand continues to expand and is in a healthy condition as shown in Colonel Sleeman's report. I was sorry to receive from New Zealand the resignation from active service of Dr. F. J. Borrie, the Officer in charge of the Canterbury and West Coast District, and Lieut.-Colonel R. A. H. Fulton, the Officer in charge of the Otago District. Their places have been taken by Major W. Crampton and Lieut.-Colonel H. P. Morey, whom I cordially welcome to their new posts. The amount of Public Duty undertaken still continues to increase and on a selected Saturday in June a census of the duties performed at sports grounds showed that 668 members were on duty who treated on that day 1,500 cases. CYPRUS, KENYA, UGANDA, AND ZANZIBAR.

The Police Divisions in the above districts continue to gain in strength and efficiency. During the year many instances have been reported of cases of First Aid dealt with by members of these Divisions often in circumstances of difficulty and danger. An interesting case reported from Kenya was the treatment by a member of the Kenya Police Divi ion of the injuries of Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham who was involved in a motor accident near Moyale. SOUTH AFRICA.

As in the case of Australia and New Zealand the account of Colonel Sleeman's tour appears in the addendum to this report. I am glad to be able to report that 21 new Divisions have been formed during the year and that the work of the Brigade within the Commandery has been actively maintained. The Public Duty performed included attendance at the Empire Exhibition at Johannesburg when it is estimated that over 1,000 attendances were made by ambulance workers on duty during the period of the Exhibition. CONCLUSION.

I have been particularly requested by Colonel Sleeman to include his name with mine in expressing our best thanks to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, for her continued interest and activity throughout the year. Colonel Sleeman also joins me in expressing our best thanks to all ranks of the Brigade Overseas for their continued loyalty and service in the work of the Brigade and our appreciation of their devotion to the humanitarian work established by the Order of St. John. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) P. S. WILKI SON (Major-General). Acting Chief Commissioner, The St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas.

SOUTH AFRICA A D SOUTHERN RHODESIA.

In December, 1935, as Chief Commissioner of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, I represented H.R.H. The Grand Prior as Visitant to the Commandery in outhern Africa; in addition I inspected units of the Brigade Over eas throughout South Africa and Southern Rhodesia. The tour covered over 7,000 miles of air and land travel, and was charact rized by the extremely high standard of efficiency and keenness witne sed. During thi tour I held 9 Investitures, 54 Inspections, and 23 Conference and, in addition, attended 31 Mayoral and Civic Receptions and 38 public function and delivered 117 speeches and addresses and 2 broadcasts. The journ y included two descents of the deepest gold mines on the Rand; a hort tour into game country in Rhodesia; and an aeroplane flight over the be t of the game country about the Zambe i a the gue t of the Governments concerned. In addition, the De Beers Diamond Field at Kimberley was visited and its ambulance activities inspected. Both the Governments of outh Africa and Southern Rhodesia, the municipalities, and other public bodies left no stone unturned to how the "\ isitant how deeply they appreciated the work of the Order. Extreme court y and ho pitality were recei,"ed everywhere especially from the outh African and Rhode ian Railways (which possess two of the mo t efficient mbulance and ur ing organizations of the Brigade Ov r ea in the Empir ) while the Police and Fire Brigades did all po sible to show how greatly they respected the work which the Order i doing. I presented the landate of H.R.H. The Grand Prior at a full meeting of the ommandery Chapter in outhern Africa held in Johannesburg, all the member of which (with one exception) wore the correct robe of the Order. This Commandery deserves the highest possible praise for the manner in which it has succeeded in centralizing the work of the Order, and the frictionless way in which it controls that of both the Association and Brigade throughout outh Africa and Southern Rhodesia. That this is so testifies to the fine team-spirit of its members, the excellence of its administration, the loyal co-operation of all concerned, and the recognition of the honour conferred upon Southern Africa by the formation of a Commandery. To show to what lengths things were carried in order to enable the Chief Commissioner to reach a conclu ion as regards the general standard of efficiency 150 members of the Brigade were assembled (by the courte y and excellence of the Rhodesian Railways) at Bulawayo for inspection; men who, by the time they returned home, had travelled an aggregate of 67,000 miles. The South African Railways also did magnificently, placing special saloons at my service and permitting its system managers to accompany me throughout my tour. Starting at Capetown the tour proceeded through Port Elizabeth, East London (where one of the best Divisions of the tour was seen, composed entirely of Afrikaan police), Durban (where a parade of 600

members of the Brigade was inspected), Lady mith, Pietermaritzburg, Johannesburg (where a parade of some L100 members was held), Mafeking, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Ruins, alisbury, the Matopos, ::Vlafeking, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, De Aar, Prieska, Britstown, pringfontein, Bethulie (where a Kopje was named after the Visitant), Touws River, Hutchinson, Naavrpoort, Capetown (where a Parade of 400 members was inspected), Paarl, and Malmesbury, in all of which cities and towns an admirable tandard of ambulance and nur ing efficiency was seen, including that of Zulu, Indian, ape coloured, and :Jloslem Divisions. The work which the Order is doing in regard to the native population of South Africa wa found to be of a high standard while its teachings were being carried far beyond the scope of the tour. I t should be mentioned in passing that the Brigade Overseas in outh Africa and in Southern Rhodesia is regarded as part of the D fence Forc with the result that a Government grant prove of great service in expanding its usefulness and in ensuring it high tandard. Not the least part of the pleasure gi\'en to me was the high appreciation shown in regard to the work of the Order by the Afrikaan portion of the population whose Divisions are excellent, while the fact that the Order is Christian and not denominational has made it immen ely popular with those many who serve it who are also members of the Dutch Reformed Church. pace forbids a more detailed report upon the outhern African vi it, but it is sufficient to say that it 'would be quite impo ible to find anywhere in the Empire a better controlled body of nthusiastic workers than tho e who work for the interests of the Order in that delightful and progres i,' country. Both South Africa and outhern Rhodesia have just right to be proud of what has been done in regard to ambulance and nursing service.

CHIEF COMMISSIONER'S TOUR,

Has~ings, Palmerston ~orth, and \Vanganui, At the last place I was receIved by 2,000 Maons at Ratana Pah who were anxious to know more of the work of the Order. Then came New Plymouth, Rotarua, and Tauranga where continuous overstrain, severe weather, and lack of proper r,est, resulted ,in my contracting pneumonia, I am happy to say that-wIthu~ a fortmght-I recovered sufficiently to enable me to carry out the entIre p~ogramme including Hamilton, Auckland (where 450 memb.er of,the Bngade turned out on parade), \Vhangarei, and Dargaville, E peclally m the Auckland Province that standard of ambulance and nur ing efficiency seen was extremely high, while New Zealand was found to s:t. ~he example to the Empire in regard to the proportion of Cadet DIVISIOns both of boys and girls. ~n llckland itself th: standard of ambulance transport service proved qUIte .the best ~en dunng the whole tour-one which has rightly earned the hlghe t p~aIse from both the Municipality and general public. The Comma~dery It elf has not, a yet, succeeded in reaching the high standard of that, mouth frica, being handicapped by lack of funds, the absence of a SUItable headquarters, and a sufficient secretariat. These difficulties it is l:oped, will be shortly overcome for it is of the greatest importanc~ ~hat It hould IU,nction with the same degree of central control as that In o~ltl: rn Afnca., Not.withstanding this the efficiency both of the A. pCIatIon and Bng~d~ m New Zealand is most highly satisfactory, ,,'lule the loyal and splnted efforts of those who control the work of the Order in N.ew Z aland is beyond all prai e. 0 highly, indeed, is it valued that I receIved the utmo tho pitality and consideration from the Government and :JIllnicipal bodie who spared no effort to make it clear that they regarded the work of the Order as of extreme value. ,The Tew Zealand tour included 4,474 miles of land travel and 471 mIl s by mean of air tra\'el; while it included four cities and fourteen towns more than were vi ited by the Delegation in 1929.

NEW ZEALA D.

Following my visit to South Africa and outhern Rhodesia I acted as the Visitant of H.R.H. The Grand Prior to the Commandery in New Zealand to the Commandery-Chapter of which I delivered the l\Iandate at a full meeting held in Wellington. In addition I inspected the units of the Brigade Overseas throughout the Dominion, including in my travel by land and air practically every city and town in this most loyal and pleasant part of the Empire. During this tour I held 14 Investitures, and 54 Inspections, attended 38 Mayoral and Civic Receptions, and 34 public functions and delivered 96 speeches and addresses and 5 broadcasts. That in addition I held 17 conferences during this visit shows the extent of the work and its abnormally strenuous nature. The tour started at Invercargill and on through Dunedin (where a parade of over 200 members of the Brigade took place), Oamaru, Timaru, and Christchurch in all of which cities and towns excellent Brigade efficiency was witnessed. At Christchurch a parade of over 400 members of the Brigade was held. Then followed aerial flight to Gisborne, Nelson, and over to the North Island in time to represent H.R.H. The Grand Prior at the Proclamation of His Majesty King Edward VIII at Parliament House, Wellington. At Wellington a parade of over 200 members of the Brigade was held. From Wellington the tour proceeded to Napier,

A STRALIA ,

Follo:ving my Vi itation and Tour of Southern Africa, Southern ~hode,sIa" and Jew Zealand I paid an inspectional visit to Australia mcludmg m tl~e tour Queen land, New outh Wales, Ta mania, Victoria, o,u~h Au tralia, and " Testern Au tralia. In all these fine States I was pnVIleged to receive from the Governments concerned, the Municipalities, an~ Govern~1ent pepartments (particularly the Railways, Military, PolIce, and ,Flre Bngades) the most extreme courtesy and consideration, The Au t~alIan tour prove~ no less strenuous .than the others, necessitating the ho~ding of 3 Invest~tures, 9,6 InspectIons, 61 Mayoral and Civic ReceptIons, and 90 PublIc FunctIons, the delivery of 150 speeches and ?-ddresses, and 9 Broadcasts, and attendance at 47 Conferences, It also lnvolved almost 9,000 miles of land travel. The tour included descents o~ t~e gold mine at Bendigo and Kalgoorlie in which admirable First AId IS rendered by members of the Brigade, Although I ha~ touched at Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney on my outward Journey to I ew Zealand the tour of Australia actuall'l; started at Sy~ey and proceeded to Brisbane, Warwick, Beaudesert, Stanthorpe, ClIfton, Toowoomba, Ipswich, Brisbane, Sydney (,,-here a parade of about 1,000 members of the Brigade took place), Dungawan, Goulburn, Bowral, Sydney, Hobart, Claremont, Melbourne (where a

Throughout the whole tour the characteristic feature had proved to be the intense loyalty to the Empire of the Australian people and their most generous hospitality, while the tandard of ambulance work had proved excellent, reflecting the highest credit upon all concerned. It was particularly satisfactory to find attention being paid to the formation of Cadet Divisions while it is hoped that Queen land will find it po ible to form some Divisions of the Brigade at a time when all other parts of the Empire find them so essential both for normal times and in the event of grave emergency. It would not be wrong to say that nowhere is the work of the Order better appreciated than in Au tralia. Possibly the most praiseworthy ambulance effort of Au tralia i the adaptability with which stretchers and ambulance equipment are improvised from material which can be found anywhere in a country so prolific in suitable tree life, the average time for making an excellent form of stretcher from such material being even minutes. The Order has just cause to be proud of the work which it branches are doing in Australia, and the Grand Priory may rest content that its interests are being well served in thi valuable part of the Empire. CEYLON. During the return voyage from Australia I was afforded a further opportunity of inspecting the Brigade at Colombo, Ceylon, where I was shown a remarkably good exhibition of First Aid-most dramatically presented-by the Ceylon Police Corps. So thoroughly were the e demonstrations carried out that many of the injuries treated appeared actual, while the dramatic art of the inhalese was shown by the " patients "-all policemen-who entered into the spirit of things with emotion compelling abandon. Some sixteen accidents were staged ranging from snake-bite to semi-electrocution. Each one had a Police Officer and a Medical Officer watching the treatment given from start to finish while at the conclusion and following my inspection a criticism of most helpful kind was given to each team both from the police and meclical points of view. Altogether it formed one of the best examples of the teaching of First Aid seen during the tour. It may be remembered that in 1929 I visited Ceylon on behalf of the Order and inspected the Brigade fincling an excellent system of ambulance work in existence on the part of the Ceylon Police Corps. This has been largely due to the Inspector-General of Police, Sir Herbert Dowbiggin, C.M.G., then a Commander of our Order. That this high standard of efficiency has been not only maintained but actually improved upon reflects the highest possible credit upon all concerned. In no other part of the Empire is the teaching of First Aid of greater benefit than in Ceylon while the Police are, naturally, the best medium

for its teaching. The fact that they render such humanitarian service to the nc~.tive is-as in South ~frica-:-Inclia, Burma, and other parts of the EmpIre-of P?werful effect ~n helplJ:g towards a better understanding between the publIc and the polIce. It IS to be regretted that Sir Herbert Dowbiggin will shor~ly be terminating his long period of valuable service, but, fortunately, hIS succes or will prove a worthy follower of such a k en and energetic member of our Order and one who maintains the existing high standard. MALTA. I paid the Branches of the Order in Malta-that famous home of the qrder-a visi~ on my retyrn journey from Australia; a visit very conSIderably a 1 ted by HIS Excellency The Governor who most kindly plac d his official launch at my di po al throughout my stay.

BRIGADE OVERSEAS HEADQUARTERS, T. J OH~'S GATE, CLERKENWELL, E.C. l. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, IHarcli, 1937. ST. J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. SIR, I have the honour to submit my report on the Nursing Divi ion of the St. John Ambulance Brigade OYer eas for the year ended 31st December, 1936. There has been an increase of 19 new Nursing Divi ion and 17 new Cadet Nursing Divisions, and I am pleased to say that the same keenne sand efficiency has been maintained as in the past. Although, mercifully, no outstanding call has had to be met thi rear by the Brigade Overseas in any part of the Empire, the work of the members has been very great as the public bodie fully realize the invaluable work of the Brigade and are anxiou to avail them elves of their services on all possible occasions. During her leave in England one of my Divisional uperintendent qualified for her Grade 1 Instructor's Certificate in A.R.P., and on her return to Southern Rhodesia was asked by the authorities to give instruction to members of the Defence Force and others. Great intere t is being taken by the Nursing Divisions in this branch of the work, but I am happy to say not at the expense of First id and Home Nursing duties . The Cadet Nursing Divisions are showing a very marked progres , and it is satisfactory to note that many of the members are continuing the work by joining adult Nursing Divisions as they grow up . I would like to express my thanks to all my officers for the loyalty and keenness and my sincere thanks to all members for the unselfish and efficient manner in which they are carrying on the work of the Brigade. I look forward to welcoming many of them here for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) BEATRICE H . DENT, Lady Superintendent-in-C hieJ.

E BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS. AUSTRALIA.-i\ ew South Wales District.-\Ving-Commander H. R. G. Poate, M.B., Commissioner in Charge of the New outh \Vales Di trict, reports : -

It was with deep sorrow that we learned early in the year of the death of our Sovereign Head and Patron of the Order of t. John-His l\Iost Gracious Iajesty King George V . His passing was keenly felt by the officers and members of the Brigade in this State, all of whom joined in the universal demonstrations of sympathy. A death in this State which caused great regret was that of my As istant Commissioner, Surgeon-Captain H. J. \V. Brennand, M.D., on the 11th April, 1936 Dr. Brennand served the Order faithfully for a period of thirty years. Later in the year I recommended Lieut.-Colonel 'Y. Vickers, D.S.O., V.D ., M.B ., CH.l\!., F.R.A.C . . , to fill the vacancy. I am able to state, with feelings of much satisfaction, that the development of Brigade work in this District during the past twelve months has been in the direction of steady progress and co-operation. The calls for ambulance assi tance contlOll to increase, and have been met satisfactorily; all public dut.ies have been faithfully carried out; and efficiency has been maintained. No less than 61,2 ' 1 cases of First Aid were rendered-as usual, without fee or reward--on sports grounds, pleasure resorts, etc. Since the foundation of the Brigade in Tew outh \Vales it is estimated that First Aid has been rendered to over 500,000 cases. During the year I found it n ecessary to further increase the staff by the appointment as District Officers of Dr. Clement A. Verco, erving Brother of the Order; Mr. A. J. ,Villiams, Officer of the Order; and Dr. Frances Jl,IcKay, Lady Dlvi iona! Surgeon of the Auburn Iursing Division. These Officers have already performed many years of excellent service to the Order, and their appointment will greatly relieve the pressure of work, which is becoming more onerous each year as our members and duties expand in this District. The Government and general public are beginning to realize that. Brigade work now forms an important link in the life of the tate; and, further, it now form a most important unit of the defence scheme of the Commonwealth. Officers and mem bers are being thorou ghl y trained in the latest" Air Raids Preca u tions Method " . Up to the present over 1,200 have received preliminary instruction. This all-important question is also being dealt with in another paragraph of this report. I have also to record that early in the year the Charitable Collections l\ Ct. of 193-tpassed by our State Government came into force, and that the Brigade has been duly registered as a charitable organization under the Act, with permission to make appeals for funds. Our registration number is 327. This Act provides t.hat no organization, unless a registered body, shall be allowed to appeal to the public for funds . Our Lady District Superintendent-Mrs. G. Maund-left for England last Jun e, and .vill be one of our official representatives at the Coronation and Jubilee Celebrations in 1937. During her absence Lady District Officer ~Irs. J . H enson and Dr. Frances McKay \ViU undertake the supervision of the ursing Division. Already much work has been carried out by these two officers, and I must congratulate them on the results of their labours. The most outstanding event of the year was the visit of our Chief Commissioner, Colonel James L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., M.A., representing His Royal Highness The Grand Prior, The Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, K.C. Upon receiving information of the date of his arrival, a sub-committee was formed to draft an itinerary for his visit. The lamented decease of His l\Iajesty King George V and then Colonel Sleeman's illness in New Zealand necessitated complete revision of the itinerary originally planned. However, the following programme was arranged and carried out, and proved to be one which we all feel was appreciated by Colonel Sleeman. Our one regret was that his stay was all too short. Although Colonel Sleeman arrived at Sydney on 2nd January, 1936, his official tour of New South Wales did not commence until 13th March, when he arrived from Brisbane by the express and was met by Staff Officers of the Brigade. Later in the morning courtesy calls were made upon His Excellency The LieutenantGovernor, Sir Phillip Street, K.C.M.G. (Knight of Grace of the Order), and the Deputy Premier, the Han. Colonel M. F. Bruxner, D.S.O., M.L.A. In the afternoon a conference between representatives of the St. John Ambulance Association and St. John

R EPORTS FROM D OMINIONS.

Ambulance Brigade was held at Government Ho.use, with Colonel Sleeman ~s hairman. A large agenda paper on matters affectmg the welfare of the Order m N.S.W. was amicably disposed of. On Saturday, 14th March, Colonel Sleeman inspected 1,000 members of t?-e Brigade in Government House grounds in the pr~sence of a larg~ numb~r of. dIStinguished citizens, and after the march past, WhICh was a most unpressl\~e ~Ight, Colonel Sleeman was presented with an Addre~s o~ ~Velcome by th~ CommlsslOI?-er, \\'in g-Commander Hu gh R. G. Poate. In an mspmng address, WhiCh was audIble to all present by means of an amplifying outfit, Colonel Sleeman congratUlated the Brigade on its fine turn out, and stated that t~e Sydney parc:de .was one of the best he had seen on his tour. The parade was m charge of Dlstnct Officer S. L. Parsons. After the inspection Colonel Sleeman was driven to the Mascot Aero~rome and was received and entertained by Flight-Lieutenant . Mulroney (preSident) and members of the Royal era Club of N.S.W. An inspection was made of the Casualty Room, which is staffed by members of. the South Sydney Ambulance and -ur ina Division of the St. John Ambulance Bngade. Sunday, 15th Jlal'ch, Colonel Iceman was present. at St: Andrew's Cathedral in the morning. Before entering the Cathedral an lllspectIon was made of the parade of about 300 of all ranks. The preacher was the Rev. W. H. A. Barder, Rector of Vaucluse; and after the service Colonel Sleeman invested the Commis ·ioner-Dr. Hu gh R. G. Poate-with the Insignia of a Knight of Grace of t~e Order of t. J oho. The ceremony took place in the Chan.cel, being the first of ItS kind in Australia, and was most impressive, as the actual ntual followed dates back 00 year. Imm ediately after the service he was entertaine~ at lunch at Government House by the Lieutenant-Governor and Lady Street. Durmg the afternoon he was entert::l.ined by the Ea tern Suburbs District Committee of the N.S.\V. Ambulance Tran port Service, and visited the Casualty Rooms at Bronte, Maroubra, and Yarra Bay at each of ,",chich the detachments of members of the St. John Ambulance Bng~de, who attend for duty, formed guards of honour. At Bronte he: was welcomed by a guard of honour of the Bronte Life Saving Club, and by the Pr.esident, l\Ir. M. J. Burke. After inspecting the Casualty Room, Colonel Sleeman was gIven a demonstration of reel and rescue work by the life savers. At l\1aroubra he was met and welcomed by the President and officials of the Maroubra Life Saving Club, and after an inspection of the new club premises and Casua~ty Room, he lef~ for Coogee, where he was entertained at afternoon tea by the ChaIrman and CommIttee of the Eastern Suburbs mbulance ervice, and the Superintendent ( Ir. T. H. Henderson, Commander of the Order), and members of the Eastern Suburbs Ambulance and Tu r sin g Division of the Brigade, after which he dedicated and released a new Hillman ambulance car for service. At Yarra Bay he w as welcomed by the Superintendents.of th~ Glebe Ambulance and ursing Divisions, and also by Irs. A. Howe, Servmg SIster c:f. t~e Order. An inspection was made of the First Aid Stations erected by these DIVlSlQns . . J10nday, 16th ]IJal'ch : ~\n official call was made on the Right Honourable Archibald Howie, Lord l\Iayor of Sydney, in the morning, and later Colonel Sleeman was en tertained at lunch by the Executive Committee of the St. J ohn Amb~l<l:nce ssociation.

Tuesdav, 17th 1vlarch: Luncheon by the Rotary Club at David Jones' Auditorium, where Colonel Sleeman gave an excellent address on the work of the St. 1.ohn Ambulance Brigade.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA TeE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

Monday, 23rd J11arch,' Colonel Sleeman was entertained by the Pioneers' Club, and next day was entertained by ir Kel 0 and Lady King at their home at Eugecliff. Wednesday, 25th llIarch, saw a very large number of Brigade members assembled on the wharf at '\Yooloomooloo Bay to bid farewell to our worthy Chief Commissioner, who left by the R.M.S. Oronsay for his tour of Tasmania. Colonel Sleeman expressed himself as being greatly impressed with the spirit of service manifested by the Brigade in ew South vVales, and the initiative displayed by the members on all occasions. He thought the closest co-operation should exist between the Brigade and such units as the Inland ::'IIission, Bush I ursing Association, etc., emphasizing the necessity of a knowledge of first aid to bridge over the wide and uninhabited spaces in Australia, where skilled nursing or medical assistance was hard to find. He also drew attention to the increasing number of accidents as a result of increased mechanization of industry, and largely through the development of the motor car. The toll of the road is now formidable, and it is becoming almost necessary for e\'ery adult to have some knowledge of first aid measures. The following new units were formed and registered : Paddington and '\Voollahra Cadet Ambulance Division, 23rd January, 1936. Leichhardt Cadet Ambulance Division, 10th February, 1936. Kensington Nursing Division, 16th June, 1936. '\Varatah Cadet Ambulance Division, 30th June, 1936. Eastwood Cadet Ambulance Division, 29th September, 1936. Goulburn Cadet Ambulance Division, 29th October, 1936. On 1st January, 1936, His 10st Gracious Majesty conferred upon J\Ir. F. A. Thorpe, District Officer on our Staff, the honour of M.B.E. Mr. Thorpe has for ov r twenty-five years been Chairman and member of the Central District of the Ambulance Transport Service. We congratulate Mr. Thorpe upon this well-earned honour. Advice was received early in the year that the Grand Prior of the Order of St. John, on the authority of His Most Gracious Majesty the King, had been pleased to confer the Insignia on the following officers and members of the Brigade in ew Sou th Wales : Commander. Mr. Thomas H. Henderson-District Officer. Sub-Chaplain. The Venerable Archdeacon S . M. Johnstone, M.A. Serving BrothBY. Dr. Wilfred Vickers, D.S.O., v.D.-District Officer.

Donovan, Divisional Surgeon, Paddington and Woollahra Division. Dr. W. M. A. Fletcher, Divisional Surgeon, Leichhardt ursing Division. Dr. Frances McKay, Divisional Surgeon, Auburn Nursing Division. Investitures were held at Government House by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Phillip Street, K.C.M.G., on 26th February, 28th May, 28th July, and 30th ovember, when those mentioned in my report, together with the above, were presented with their respective insignia. Later in the year advice was received that Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas, on his return to England had submitted to the Grand Prior the following names for nomination for admission to or promotion in the Order : Sir Kelso King, Kt. Capt. James D. Walker. Lieut.-Colonel T. J. Play fair, D.S.O. Colonel F. A. Maguire, C.M.G., D.S.O ., V.D. Colonel R. W. Walsh, D.S.O., V.D., D.D.M .S. Lieut.-Colonel W. Vickers, D.S.O., V.D.

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

Arthur J . Vogan, Esq. :'IIr . Georgina Maund. l'nrse Jane tarkey. Cadet Gwen Davidge, of the Burwood Cadet ursing, was successful in passing the required twelve subjects for the Grand Prior's Cadet Badge. This is the second Bauge to be awarded in New outh \Vales, and we warmly congratulate Miss Davidge on attaining this honour, and bringing such distinction to our District. From the annual returns furnished, the total membership of the Brigade at 31 st December, 1936, was 1,896 members. The District comprises 29 Ambulance, 22 Nursing, 3 Sections, and 20 Cadet Divisions. .\ s usual Divisions were inspected on occasions during the year, and inspecting officers have reported that the number on parade in each case was fully representative, the general appearance smart, drill carried out correctly, and were well satisfied \\ ith the progress and efficiency of the Divisions. This reflects credit on the officers in charge of the Divisions and to the personnel. During October and November District Superintendent A. S. \Vilkinson again carried out inspections in the country areas at Adamstown, Waratah, Katoomba, Lithgow, Bulli, and Portland, and reports that all the Divisions were well up to standard and were progressing favourably. A t Portland seven men were in uniform for the first time, and it is expected a further number will be in uniform before long. .\11 the country DIvisions were carrying out Brigade work in the true St. John spirit. I wish to thank Divisional Superintendents J. H. Barnes and B. J. Gibbons, and District Sergeant-::'IIajor \V. \Vallace, for accompanying Mr. \iVilkinson on his country in pections, and helping him in carrying out examinations for Sergeants and Corporals when required; and also J\Ir. \\'. Campbell, for placing his car at their disposal for the country trip . In pections at \Yollongon g and Goulburn were carried out by Divisional Surgeons J. Kerr and S. P. Lyttle respectively on my authority. The Nursing and Cadet Nur ing Divisions were inspected by Lady District Officers jUrs. J. E. Henson and Dr. Frances J\IcKay, and the reports forwarded show that all Divisions were doing well, and their standard of efficiency is well up to the high standard at which \ e aim. These inspections have necessitated a good deal of time on the part of these two Lady District Officers, and I wish to compliment them on the completion of a task so ably carried out. The following were the outstanding public duties of the year : 28th JanualY, 1936 ,' Memorial service for His Most Gracious Majesty King George V at St. Andrew's Cathedral, 11.30 a.m. (b) United Service at the Domain, 6.30 p .m. The Brigade was fully represented at both services. Sunday, 1st Febntary , 1936,' Combined avy, Army, and Air Force Memorial Service in Centennial Park. The Brigade Staff was present, and several Divisions were on duty. Anzac Day, 25th April, 1936 " 476 members were on duty, and 280 cases of collapse were treated, excluding 57 cases at the Cenotaph Dawn Service. Staff officers on duty were :-District Officers W . Kubig, N . Hayton, S. L. Parsons, Lady District Superintendent Mrs. G. Maund, and Lady District Officer Mrs. J. E. Henson. The annual Church Parades were held on Sunday, 28th June, 1936, at St. Andrew's Cathedral and t. Mary's Basilica respectively. The parade assembled at the Oddfellows' War Memorial at 10.30 a.m., and each detachment marched direct to their respective church. Over 300 attended the service at St. Andrew's Cathedral, the preacher being the Most Reverend the Archbishop of Sydney (Dr. Howard Mowll, D.D.), Sub-Prelate of the Order.

The officer in charae of the Staff School of InstructlOn, Dlstnct Officer W. h.ubIg, reports that, durin~ ~he per~od under review, two sessio~s were .conducted_ at the Staff School, and It IS pleasmg to note that the first seSSlOn con~lste~ of 3;, of all ranks and the second session of 59 male candidates and 29 nurslDg sIsters. Those successful in the examination were as follows : Superintendents . 1 Ambulance Officers 3 Sergeants 14 Corporals 10 Total

Included in the aforementioned classes are many officers and J. C.O.'s taking refresher courses, either to develop word of command or to study the new system of drill, routine, etc. There are quite a number of superintend~nts and am~ulance officers on probation who attend the classes but cannot quahfy for examlDatIon until a definite probationary period has elapsed. . . . The lady candidates are not called on for exammatIon . These p~rtIculars are given owing to comments as to the small percentage of passes per se~slOn. . During the year Mr. Kubig found it necessary to add to the School s In.structIonal Staff, and selected the following members: ~mbulance Officer J. . Neilson, Hon . Sergeant J. J . Parsons, Corporal C. Davis, Pnvates F. Hennessy, J. Ryan, H. Cohen, J . H. Eburne. . . ., . . Again I wish to express my appreclatIo~ to 1\1r: Kublg .for l?-lS untmng labours, and to congratulate him on the favourable ImpresslOn that IS bemg created thro~gh out the Brigade, due to the training re~eived at the Sta~ School of InstructlOn . My best thanks are also given to Supenntendent B. J. GIbbons <l:nd Corpo~al .F. Readman. Last, but not least, one word of praise must also be glVen to DIstnct Officers N. Hayton and S. L. Parsons, who carried out the duties of examiners during the year. . As mentioned in my last report, the first step has been taken towards the establtshment of several corps in the District. . Early next year eighteen members who have been selected WIll un~ergo a course of training in all branches of St. John work. At the end ?f the p~escnbed course an examination will be conducted, and the successful candldates WIll be promoted to the various corps ranks. The number of corps to be formed will be decided later. It is expected that the formation of several c?rp~ will greatly help to reduce the many minor duties now being undertaken by. DIStr~ct Officers. . I regret that the Hospitallers club formed lD 193;, has not ye~ functIo~ed. Upon the death of His Majesty the King, followed by Court mourmng for SIX months, and then the appointm.ent of His Excellency Lord ~owrie, the State. Governor, as Governor-General, it was decided to defer the opemng of the Club until a later date.

R EPORTS FROM DOMINIO XS .

During: the year advice :va~ received from Lady District Officer, 1\liss L. Overend, of the ~nsh F~ee State Dlstnct of .t~e St. John Ambulance Brigade. that she was present~ng a silver cup for competItlOn work amongst our Nursing Divisions. The cup arrlved safely, a set of rules. &,overning the competition was drawn up, and it is hope~ to have the first competition early next year. A letter of appreciation for the gIft of such a fine trophy was duly forwarded to Miss Overend. Twenty-eight Ambulance and eighteen ursing Divisions, making a total of all ranks .of 1,4 4, are enrolled as Voluntary Aid Detachments under the State Joint ounctl of Jew South \Vales. As such they are part of the Medical Services of the Commonw~alth Deien~e Department. Permission has been given for twelve men to .go mto camp WIth each of the Field Ambulances for six days' training. This hould. mcrease the efficiency of the Brigade . . Dllnng the year two sets of lectures in First Aid instruction in gas warfare were grven, and were well attended. In addition, Divisions have had the services of men 'pecially trained in this work. The Brigade is represented by District Officer T. H. Henderson on the Citizens' Committee appointed by the Government of New South \Vales to arrange for antiga' precautions. It was with pleasure that we received the Air Raid Precautions film from London kindly donated by Mr. and Mrs. John l.\Iaxwell. ' The. manager of the Liberty TheCl:tre, Sydney, very kindly allowed a private screemng of the film to representatives of the State Government and Military and t. John Ambulance Association and Brioaade on \Vednesday 2nd December 1936. ' , 'tep~ will be taken next year to show this film to our Divisions. I deSIre to record my appreciation, and those of this District, to the donors of this him. Our best t.hanks are again accorded to the Chairman and members of the ~ .S.\Y . A.mbulance Tran port ervice Board, who have assisted our various Divisions in many way, and have m~intained the spirit of mutual help and co-operation which have drawn ~s togethe~ In r~cent years in working for a common objective. It is pe~haps unfaIr to partIc~lanze, but I feel that I must mention in particular the aSsl~tance we h~\'e receIved from the Central District Committee through their ~halrman, Mr. F. A. Thorpe, l\I.B. E., and l\1r. H . J . 1\Iitchell, Metropolitan Supermtendent, who is now an officer of the Order of St. John.

The year under review has been a most exacting one; but all officers and members have so given of their best that I fe el we ~an be prou~ of ;:he record achieved, and can look forward to the future of our Bngade work In ~ ew South \Vales District with confidence.

South Australia District.-Dr. . L. Dawkins, Commissioner in charge of the South Australia District, reports : There has been a substantial increase in the membership of the Brigade .in thi District during the past year. Three new Senior Divisi?ns ha e 1;>e~r:t regl,~ter c~ viz. Police Division, which started with 72 members, Riverton Dlvlslo.n. With L members and the Lobethal Division with 25 members on the roll. In ad.dll1o~, .three Cadet Di~sions have been formed and attached to the following seDlor ?IVISl~ns -Norwood with 14 members, Prospect with II members, and Port Adelaid e With 17 members. B ' d l' h Ambulance Competitions for the whole of the me~bers of the. nga e, W HC were inaugurated last year, were held during larch With very satIsfactory r esults. These contests have undoubtedly raised the stan~ard of our work and we can confidently look to the future for even gr~a~er efficiency. .' . During April of this year we were pnvlleged to welcome to thIS Dlstnct o.ur Chief Commissioner, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, during his inspectional tour of A ustraha, and, whilst in Adelaide, he was the guest of Sir Winston and Lady Du~an at Gove~n ment House. A Civic Reception was also accorded to Colonel Sleeman III t?e A~~lalde Town Hall by the Lord Mayor and was largely attended by representatIve clhzens. Luncheons were also arranged at Parliament House and by the ComD?-0nwealth Club in honour of our guest, and at all functions .~olo~e.l Sleeman. was hst~n~~ to with close attention. He visited the various mUlllclpahtIes, to which our ~lvlslOns are attached, and in every case was officially recei,:,ed ~y the Mayor or hIS r.ep~e sentative. There is no doubt that personal contact III thiS way, from such a dlsh?-guished overseas representative of the Order, will do much to further our work III this State. . The Annual Inspection was held o,n Sunday, 19th April, when the largest number of members that has ever paraded (over 400 being in attendance) m~rched past, and at which Colonel Sleeman took the salute. Following th~ ins1?ectIOn, tro~hies won at the recent ambulance contests were presented to the vlctonous COrr:p~~ltors by Colonel Sleeman. The Investiture ~hen took place of Dr. L. J. Dunstone, DlVlsIO?-al Surgeon, as Serving Brother, an? MISS V. Watson~ Lady C~rp's Offi~er, as Servlllg Sister, which ceremony was carrIed out by the Chief CommiSSIOner III the robes of the Order. . . S P t ' The Church Parade was held on Sunday, 25th June, m the evelllng at t . e er s Cathedral and was very well attended. The service was ta~{en by Dr. ~raham ~rown, Bishap in Jerusalem, who specially referred to the splendid work belllg done III the

Ophthalmic Hospital. In addition, several divisions arranged Church Parades in their own districts. An important addition to our work has been made during the year by the inclusion of an anti-gas course. Should the necessity arise the services of our members in this connection will be of the greatest assistance to the public. Our two ambulance vans continue to do good work. A van was in attendance at all race meetings within approximately 50 miles of the city and covered -1 ,263 miles. One hundred and fourteen race meetings have been attended and 124 patients received attention from our members at these fixtures. The total number of functions attended by men and nurses for the year was 1,745 (including race meetings). and the total attendance of men and nurses 6,629 . The total number of ca ualties treated, as shown by our records, was 9,518. The First id rooms at the beaches continue to be of great service to the public. During the year 1,327 patients were attended therein. The strength of the Brigade at the end of the year shows an increase of 156 on the prevlOus year' figures, the efficient strength of the District now being: District Staff, 10 ; orps Staff, 5; ::'IIembers of Divisions, 583; Cadets, 52; Reserve, 10; Total, 660 . The finances of the Brigade are improving. It is only natural with the formation of new divisions that heavy demands would be made on our funds, all of which we have not been able to fulfil. \\'e gratefully acknowledge the donation given to our funds by the Government and trust that this is but the beginning of annual recognition for the work being done by our members. I have personally visited a number of the Divisions during the year. District and Corps Officers have also made many visits, helping to maintain efficiency and a fine spirit in the Order. A 1 ational Thanksgi\-ing Service organized by the Commonwealth ::'IIilitary and - Taval Forces and including the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Boy Scouts, Girl Guide, Returned Soldiers, and ailors, and like organizations, ,,-as held on 6th September and proved one of the outstanding features of our Centenary Celebrations. The many public functions and pageants forming part of the celebrations made hea\-y demands on our members, who responded to all calls and earned for the Brigade the grateful appreciation of the public. Three of the open air fun ctions, viz. Children's Pageant on the Adelaide Oval when 1,257 cases were treated, the !,loral I ageant with 670 cases and the Pageant of Progress with 1-10 cases are lllstances of the public service so freely given-by our members. In conclusion I wish to express my thanks to all my Staff, Corps Officers, Superintendents, Officers, and members for their loyal support and help during the year. To :'Ir. II. G. Rosevear, the Honorary Auditor, I desire to expres my thanks for his great assistance in finalizing all the accounts, and to all who have assisted our work during the period under review, I wish to record my sincere appreciation.

Western Australia District.-Dr. H. G. Tymm , Commi sioner in charge of the \Vestem Australia Di trict, reports : Enthusiasm in the \york of the Brigade has been well maintained throuO'hout the year, and the general efficiency of the various ambulance and nursing divisions is most satisfactory. .Two additional ambulance divisions were established during the year at ::'I1arO'aret ~l\~e~ and. orseman respectively, and there is the prospect of one more ambulance dIVISIon belllg formed on the Eastern Goldfields, early in the new year. . ~~e streI?-gth of the Brigade is now 26 ambulance, -1 nursing, and 1 cadet ambulance ~Ivlslon, With a total membership. o! ?75, including 1 Corps Surgeon, 1 Corps Superllltendent, 1 Corps Officer, 30 DIVISionaL Surgeons, 21 Divisional Superintendents, 38 Ambulance Officers, 35 _ on-Commissioned Officers, and 548 rank and file. T?e pistrict s~a£f now comprises 8! in~luding a Commissioner, a District Surgeon, a Dlstnct Supenntendent, a Lady Dlstnct Officer, 3 District Officers, and a District S.ergeant. Consequent on the establishment of divisions on the Eastern Goldfields sItuated at considerable distances from the headquarters of the Eastern Goldfield~ Corps at Kalgoorlie, it was found desirable to create a sub-district on the O'oldfields and Corps Superintendent G. H. Golding was promoted to the rank of. District Officer, and Corps Officer R. S. "\Vood to the rank of district serO'eant attached to such sub-district. 0 , The outstanding event duriI?-g the ye~r .wa the visit of Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., Chief CommlsslOner, on his inspection of this district.

THE ST. J OH

AMBULAI CE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

Although time did not permit of all divisions being inspected, the Chief Commissioner was able to meet the majority of the members of the Brigade, travelling no less than 3,000 miles by motor car and rail to do so. The visit has proved most beneficial to the work of the Brigade which is now better known and more appreciated by the general public. This opportunity is taken to record my grateful thanks to the civic authorities, the commissioners of railways and police, and all others who extended courtesy to Colonel Sleeman during his visit, and who facilitated his in pectorial work. 1embers of the Brigade were honoured during the year by promotion or admission to the Order of St. John, and my heartiest congratulations are extended to th ill as follows: District Superintendent W. C. Brear, promoted from Serving Brother to Officer; District Officer A. E. Fisher, promoted from Officer to Commander; Lady District Officer Mrs. H. E. Parker, promoted from Officer to Commander; District Officer H. G. Golding, promoted from Serving Brother to Officer; and District Officer Lieut.-Colonel J. R. Donaldson, A.A.l\I.C., admitted in the grade of Officer. During the year H.R.H. the Grand Prior was pleased to approve the issue of 3 Service :Medals and 5 Bars to members of this district. From the inception of the Brigade in Western Australia 25 Service Medals and 20 Bars have been awarded. It is with deep regret that I record the death of District Officer S. ;,Iiddlewick which took place on the 13th June. In paying tribute to his memory I take this opportunity of referring to his devotion to the work of t. John as a member of the Council of the Association during my term as President, and as a member of Perth o. 1 Division, and later as District Officer on my staff. He was loyal and faithful in the discharge of his duties and his time and talents were used ungrudgingly in the service of the Order. The late ::VIr. Middlewick was a erving Brother of the Order and the possessor of the Service :i\Iedal and Bar. The returns of divisions disclose that during the year their services were much in demand, 1,242 cases being attended by members on public duty and 1,- 7 whilst not on public duty. Hospital attendances totalled 157. Once again I desire to place on record my sincere thanks to my district staff for their loyal support throughout the year, and to the officers and members of divisions for their enthusiasm in the work, and the efficient services rendered to the community.

Tasmania.-Divisional-Surgeon T. H. Goddard, reports : The year under review has been one of steady progress and activity. Our work has come more under the notice of the public during the last twelve months 'with the consequent result of a greater demand for our services, which, I am pleased to state, shows that the community is beginning to realize the useful and neces ary work that the Brigade is doing. As usual, all football and Rugby matches and race meetings have been attended throughout the year. Regattas, shows, picnic, athletic sports and cycling races have claimed our attention. Altogether 179 public functions have been attended by members of the ambulance division, and 37 by the nursing division. The total number of cases requiring first-aid treatment was 305, 27 of which were of a serious nature and required removal to hospital or home. Several members have sacrificed unlimited nights and hours of their leisure time in conducting First Aid classes for men and women. This fine work deserves our hearty appreciation and support-the 100 per cent passes they obtained is most gratifying. It is pleasing to report the increased interest of ambulance brigade work in the country districts. An Ambulance Division has been formed at Queenstown with a membership of 21. Also the formation of divisions at Huonville and Bellerive is being given consideration. Considerable interest this year has been taken by members in "Air-raid and Gas attack Precaution ", and we are indebted to Captain E. E. Grant of the Military Forces, Hobart, for a very interesting and instructive lantern lecture entitled" Gas ". At the annual public meeting of the St. John Ambulance Association held in December, Brigade members gave a very realistic demonstration of a gas attack and the subsequent First Aid treatment for the various" gas casualties. Of outstanding interest and importance was the visit during the month of April of Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C ,B., C.M.G., C.B.E ., M.V.O., Chief Commissioner of the S.J.A.B. Overseas. A civic welcome was accorded him by the Lord Mayor on the morning of his arrival and in the evening Colonel Sleeman inspected the Brigade prior to a public demonstration and meeting in the Town Hall. Colonel Sleeman spoke highly of the standard of efficiency attained by the Brigade. His visit served as II

CEYLON.-The following is an extract from the .annual report of the Ceylon Police Corps of the St. John Ambulance Bnaad 0\' r ea : The total strength of the Ceylon Police Corp was: In 1912,132; in 193~, 1,951. 269 members of the Corps are holders of the Service :'Iedal of the Order of St John Of this number 81 have been awarded the fir t Bar to the Medal and 9 the second Bar to the lIedal. The Meritorious First Aid Certificate of the St. J ohn "~mbubnce Associatio n has been awarded the members of the Corps on five occaSlOns : Inspector D. T. S. de Silva, in 192-1. Inspector A. R. de Livera, in 193-L P.c. 1. J awan, in 1935. . Inspector D. J. A. \Yijemanna, 1il 1936. P.s. W. . de Ahvis in 1936. Since the year 1922 the Ceylon Police Corps has been greatly i~debteJ to the help of Dr. igel Corbet Fletcher, who was one of the first to reahze tha~ to the layman the problems of diagnosis and correct treatment presented cons~dera~le difficulty. Dr. Corbet Fletcher has recently been appo1il~ed Su~geon-ll1- luef of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Hi advice and e::,penence With regard t~ the holding of Competitions and with regard to the ultltty ~f modern m et hod;:, in First Aid have always been at the service of the Ceylon PolIce orps and have been much appreciated. . " , :Yledica1 Officers throughout the Island have b~en most helpful 1il . tal,-~ng classes in First Aid, holding refresher courses, and holdmg annual re-exa~nll1attons. :~e brunt of this 'w ork falls on the Police Surgeon at Colombo. Some Idea of the \\Q[k involved may be gathered from the fact that this year the Pohce Surgeon has held courses of instruction for 15-1 members of the Force, has put 600 members of the Corps through refresher courses and re-examined 900 memb)er: ~ut for the good services of the medical officers throughout the Island and t~le I ~l!ce Surg~on in particular, members of the Corps could not have bec?me e~ficIen~ m rend e~m~ First Aid. The thanks of the Corps are due to those n;edlcal ofhcer.s m out-stahons and the successive medical officers who have been pollce surgeons 11l olombo who have made this efficiency possible. . On 20th May 1936, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B . , C.M.G., C.B.E . , ?l.V.O., hlef Commissioner of 'the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, passed through Colom~o after completing an Inspectional Tour in Afri~a, New Zealand, and AustralIa. Colonel Sleeman expressed a desire to see something of the good work of the Ceylon Police Corps during his short stay in ~olombo . . A demonstration of First Aid was glVen by eIght stretcher teams and Colonel Sleeman, after inspecting the teams and the appliances used for ~he purp?se. of First Aid and Life Saving, addressed the Pa.rade. He expressed hi~ appreclation of the demonstration and thanked the medlcal officers who had glven so much of their time in instructing the Corps. . , . In conveying to the Corps the greetings of HIS Royal ~lghness Th~ ~~and Pnor, Colonel Sleeman mentioned the great importance of formmg Cadet DlVlSlOns of the Brigade for Boys and G~ls under 18 years of <l:ge. . ' .r ' This visit and inspection by the repres~ntativ.e of H.R.H. The Grand Pnor \\as areatly appreciated and has had a most simulatmg effect on all ranks. . <:> It may be mentioned that in 17 instances member~ of the Corps have volunt~nly given their blood to patients in hospital wh.o were m. ne~d of. blood transfuslOn: In addition to those medical officers menhoned earlIer 1il th!,s report the .tl~anl\.s of the Corps are due to Professor F.

Since ovember, 1931, Captain W. T. Brindley has been Superintendent in charge of the Depot and has been responsible for making all arrangements for the annual training, re-examination, and inspection. I desire to bring to notice the very efficient manner in which Captain Brindley has carried out his duties. At his inspection in May, 1936, the Chief Commissioner for the Brigade Overseas commented most favourably on the manner in ""hich the records of the Corps have been kept. For five years l'Ilr. C. \Veerasuriya has kept the record of the drills done, of the re-examination and the attendance at the annual inspection of 1,951 members scattered over 167 different stations-work which calls for a high standard of accuracy. :'Ir. "\Veerasuriya's services are specially mentioned.

CYPRus.-Mr. W. C. C. King, Chief Commandant of Police and Divisional uperintendent of the Cyprus Police Division, reports : The Government of Cyprus was again good enough to vote £50 towards First Aid instruction and equipment for the Police in 1936, and as a result the Cyprus Police Division has been enabled to purchase additional equipment and to make much progress during the year under review. On 31st December, 1936, we had distributed among the various police stations of the Colony 27 Furley pattern stretchers and 28 fitted hampers, in addition to the nece sary text-books, triangular bandages, sets of splints, etc. There is also at IIeadquarters in Ticosia a wheeled stretcher which is taken by the Police to race meetings and similar functions. A further sum of £50 has been included in the Police estimates for 1937 and a steady policy of equipping Police Stations with First Aid materials and of training the personnel in }ir t Aid work will be pursued. The total membership of the Division increased during the year from 37 to 52 . Of these 49 went through the refresher course of lectures and drills during the latter half of the year and at the annual re-examination there was only one failure; a record which it is submitted does credit not only to the lecturers and instructors but to the members of the Division themselves. Stretcher drill has received much more attention during the year and the standard of efficiency is now, generally speaking, very satisfactory. "With the increase, from year to year, in the number of stretchers available for practice, it should not be long before the drill of the Division reaches a really high standard. In one Headquarter Station stretcher drill is practised as part of the Police drill for dealing with riots and disturbances, i.e. for transport of casualties which may be the result of mob violence, etc. As stated in my report last year, apart from the handicap of Police personnel having an insufficient knowledge of English, it is the exception rather than the rule for ypriot medical 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 text-book. As visualized last year, a reorganization of the :'Iedical Department has taken place and there is now a British :l\1edical Officer available in each of the six districts of the Colony. This should give a great stimulus to practical instruction in First Aid among the Police. A number of instances of good First Aid work by the Police have been reported during the year, and the following are quoted to show that training and instruction is bearing fruit not only in helping members of the Force to realize their duties and responsibilities, but also in bringing home to members of the public the fact that the Police are their friends and helpers in times of trouble :_ (a) A man who could not swim was bathing in the sea near Kyrenia. He was floating and learning to swim with the help of an inflated inner tube of a motor tyre when, at some distance from the shore, the tube escaped from his hands and he began shouting for help. A constable who was bathing near by, went to his help and succeeded in bringing him to the shore in an alm.ost unconscious state. Artificial respiration was rendered and succeeded in bringing the man round. (b) A prisoner was working in the garden of a Police Station when he was bitten by a venomous snake. A Police Constable dealt most promptly with the injury, and the Medical Officer at the Hospital, in which the man was detained for five days, ~eclared that the constriction applied by the constable was correct and adequate and tlllS, together with the prompt removal of the prisoner to the Hospital, prevented further complications and removed any danger to his life .

one of them sustained serious injuries involving severe hCBmorrhage from the arm. On arrival at the Police Station First Aid was promptly rendered and the profuse bleeding stopped, pending removal to Hospital, by application of a tourniquet and direct pressure. . (d) Two boys, while bathing, got out of their depth 2;nd w~en res~ued by boatu:-en were unconscious. Two constables (both holders of First Aid Cerbficates), heanng the cries of the boatmen, ran to the spot and applied artificial respiration until the arrival of the doctor. By the time he arrived the boys had sufficiently recovered to be sent home in the care of their parents. After the annual First Aid Re-examination of members of the Division in December, 1936, the Divisional Surgeon, Dr. C. C. ~. Cuff, M.B., F.R.C.S.(E.), who examined all the candidates, was so good as to wnte as follows : . " I should like to extend my congratulations to all concerned on the effiCient manner in which the candidates presented themselves for the test, and I hope that the interest shown v.-ill be continued." The Force has again to express its great indebtedne s t? D~. Cuff f~)r his v,ery valuable assistance and all the trou ble he has taken over examlllatlon and lllstructlOn, not only in the Capital, but in other districts .. His great inter~st in this bra?-ch of the work of the Force is very deeply appreciated. To the Director of :'Iedical Services the Force is most grateful for the willing help and co-operation of. his Medical Officers who have given up their leisure hours, without any remunerabon, to lecture and instruct members of the Division in the principles of First id. As I have just been appointed to another Police Force this is the la t Annual Report I shall have the privilege of writing for the. C):'prus Police Di\'~sion, and I should like to place on record my very great appreciabon of the splendid. manner in which all ranks have devoted themselves most wholeheartedly and With commendable enthusiasm to making themselves proficient in the knowledge of First Aid. This kno\vledge and the practical application of it will, I feel ure, prove to be a very potent factor in the years ahead in promoting more friendly relations and greater co-operation between the Police and the public.

Nursing Divisions vaccinated at the various infant and girls' schools and attended at " street stations" for the purpose of free vaccinations. Men's Dillisions.-Duties. The various divisions were on duty at race meetings, bathing, picnics, swimming galas, athletic and football matches. King's Birthday Parade.-For the first time in the history of the local corps and due to the kind thought of H.E. the Governor, a contingent of 160 men and officers took part in the Birthday Review at Happy Valley. Sergt. Hynes of the Royal lsters put the men into excellent trim after two or tllree weeks of strenuous training, and it is due to him that the men presented such a smart appearance, which was favourably commented upon by many of the spectators present. At night, Brigade Officers were invited to the Government House Ball, an honour which every officer was thrilled to receive. The mess dress of the men, together with the black satin capes and white dresses of the nursing officers, struck a bright note amongst the hundreds of people present, as well as serving to uphold the tradition of the Order. Callton Official Party.-The Brigade was invited to furnish a Guard of Honour at Government Hou e on the occasion of the visit of the Official Party from Canton. Considering that aU the ervices, ... avy, Army, and Air Force, provided Guards of Honour along the route, the honour to the Brigade was greatly appreciated. Requests come weekly for the service of the Brigade, one in particular being of rather a strenuous nature, viz. to station men at intervals on the slopes of Tai :'10 ' han :'Iountain to attend to any competitor needing help in his race up the mountain. This necessitated ambulance men doing a little "climb" also. Fzres, Acczdents, etc.-Motor accidents were attended to by Brigade members and the haukiwan Division had a case of attempted suicide by poisoning. One member dived off the ferry in his new suit to rescue a would-be suicide. The Mongkok Division attended many fires in the event of their services being required. :'Iany street accident cases have been treated by members, but they and their Divi ional Officer have omitted to send in reports. For instance two members were on the train to Canton follo'wing the one which caught fire, and assisted the Canton soldiers and railway people in dressing and carrying the cases, but these two members did not report. It makes the award of the Duty Cup a very difficult proposition if all matters are not reported. Officers' }.Ieehngs.-Officers have met regularly during the year, and matters pertaining to routine work and the social side have been discussed. The attendance was extremely satisfactory, there being few absentees. Social.-The lighter side of our activities has been picnics provided by Messrs. Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par (who also inspected the various divisions, afterwards entertaining the members to a tea party); organization of socials, etc. Several enterprising divisions went into camp; the Shaukiwan Division members made their own tents and improvised their cooking apparatus. If all officers had the same energy and enterprise there would be much more divisional activity, instead of relying on Headquarters to provide the social life of the Brigade. This applies especially to nursing divisions, the officers of which are too prone to rely on the Lady District Officer for making all arrangements for any social affair, or arranging lectures, etc. Anti-Gas Lectures.-These proved the most interesting and best attended of all lectures. The Nursing Divisions attended at Headquarters for instruction. Some men's Divisions were fortunate in procuring the voluntary services of Mr. Westlake, of the Royal aval Hospital, and ergt. Bridges, R.A.M.C. The Officers were instructed by Commander vVhite, R.N., who put them through the Gas Chamber thus proving the efficacy of the respirators, but on leaving the gas chamber the masks were removed with the result-copious tears. So strong was the C.A.P. that those waiting outside were" gassed ", or rather" contaminated" by those emerging from the chamber. Dr. Dovey, Corps Surgeon, on return from leave continued the lectures which were illustrated by an excellent set of large models complete in every detail . The models showed an area contaminated with mustard gas; a First Aid and Decontamination Station: a house with gas proof room showing the air locks; and a First Aid Personnel decontamination station. Dr. Dovey obtained a First Class Gas Instructors Certificate from the Falfield Anti-Gas Training School, Gloucestershire. . It is the intention of officers to qualify as instructors so that they in turn can lllst~uct the members, and so on to the civilian population. 1 hanks.-To all Brigade Surgeons and Staff Nurses who have given up their

Ho G KONG.- lr. A. Morris, Commi ioner in charge of the Hong Kong District, reports : 1936 has been a year more for" digging in " than for expansion, as, due to the financial depression, it was found impossible to enrol new divisions, although two, the Wanchai and the Central Ambulance Divisions, were enrolled after a long period of waiting. The members of these Divisions provided part of their equipment. The recruits of the King's College Old Boys Division acted similarly. Eighteen members qualified during 1936 for the Service Medal and two for the Service Bar. Although 44 members have qualified for the Service ledal, the senior divisions Y.M.C.A., King's College Old Boys, Railway, and the Indian Divisions maintain a "solid front" and l\Iongkok, with nine members due for the Service Medal, is coming into line. The Victoria Nursing Division, which was registered in 1916, has on its roll three members who have qualified for the Service Medal and, after a series of resuscitations, has been finally brought to life under the hands of Dr. P. Ruttonjee and Mrs. Watson (a member from the Slough Division, England). With two such tireless workers the Victoria Nursing Division should live to an old age. Signs of vitality and efficiency are evident by the division's regaining the "Ho Kom Tong" ursing Shield, which they held formerly for many years. Strength.-Staff Officers, 22. Honorary Divisional Patrons, 4. Divisional Surgeons, 27. Officers, 39. .C.O.s, Rank and File, 588. Total, 680. Nursing Divisions.-In October Lady Caldecott, Lady District Superintendent, met the members of the Nursing Divisions at Headquarters. After inspecting the nurses, an exhibition of First Aid and Home Nursing was given, and an interesting display of nurses working in gas masks, attending a " gassed and injured case" was also given. Following tea, the Headquarters Building was inspected. The Y.W.C.A. Division is a hard-working division and does a lot of health work which is not reported. The King's College Nursing Division attended for duty at school sports and at bathing sheds. Kowloon and Mongkok did duty at Cheung Chau and Kam Tin Hospitals. All

evenings to instruct their various divisions the Brigade owes a great debt of gratitude. Although few are seen on Parade owing to the time usually being surgery hours, they may be seen later at the various divisional centres hard at it. We are delighted to welcome back Dr. Strahan as Corps Surgeon. Dr. Strahan was one of the first surgeons to enrol, being divisional surgeon of the Queen's College Division during the War. Visit of the Canton Section of the Chinese Red Cross.-In October the Chinese Red Cross in Canton sent a representative contingent of 40 men and nurses to visit us. Tea and dinner parties were given in their honour, the various hosts being Messrs. Ho Kom Tong, Lau King Tsing, Chan Lan Fong, Fung Ping Fan, Li J ow Son, and Morris. The nurses attracted great attention in their smart navy blue uniform and their steel helmets, which they carried slung from the shoulders. (These nurses attend fires, and ride on the fire engines.) We were envious of their smart equipment and uniform. This is provided by the Chinese Government. Hong Kong members have to beg for theirs ! Demonstrations of First Aid and Home Nursing were given by our own members. This Canton section belongs to the Tew Life Movement ''','hich is spreading through China, and neither men nor nurses are allowed to smoke on or off duty. Before leaving, the officer in charge, Mr. g Chak ian, on behalf of the Canton Red Cross, presented a massive silver cup to the Brigade and a replica to the Director, Mr. Morris. Mr. E. M. Raymond has paid for the cost of a silver shield (a replica of the "Ralphs" Shield), which is to be presented to the Canton Red Cross Divisions for competition. A large gathering went to the railway station to see them depart and we promised at some future time to pay Canton a visit. Regret.-It is with very deep regret that we record the death of 1\1r. Kwok SlU Lau, a most energetic and tireless worker of the Finance Committee. Although old in years, he was young in spirit-he rarely failed to attend the meetings, and he never refused to contribute whenever called upon, and that was often. His tall soldierly figure is sadly missed by all of us. Two hundred officers, men, and nurses attended his funeral. Departure.-1936 seemed to be a year of "good-byes ". Dr. Moore, S.B.st.]., our District Surgeon, went home on retirement. He is greatly missed at the various competitions. Sir William Shenton, c.o.st.]., also proceeded on retirement. Sir William was one, who by virtue of his profession, made the stony paths smooth, and often the stones WERE jagged. There is an old saying that" There are as many good fish in the sea a have been taken out ", but as far as the local corps is concerned it is doubtful, for, after the loss of three good men, comes another loss, and that a huge one, in the transfer to Ceylon of our Patron and Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, K.C.M.C., C.B.E., Kt. of Grace, D.st.]. Sir Andrew and Lady Caldecott have put the Brigade on a sounder footing than it has ever attained in its local history. It will be futile to try to thank them for the tremendous uplift they have given us-personal sympathy, advice, help, material, and financial assistance-in addition to the publicity the Brigade has received and consequent recognition of the services by increased subscriptions. Congratulations.-We offer congratulations to His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, K.C.M.G., C.B.E., Kt. of Grace, o.st.]., on his appointment to Ceylon. Ceylon is to be congratulated. Dr. Li Shu Fan is to be congratulated on his well deserved appointment as Brigade Surgeon, also on his elevation to the Legislative Council. The Hon. Dr. Li Shu Fan enrolled in the Brigade in the early days, and has always been a staunch supporter of the local corps. Competitions. " Ralphs" Shield.-This competition was conducted by Major Tyndall, M.C., and Captain Boyle, both of the R.A.M.C., who spent over three hours examining each test on the final day. Ten divisions competed. At the conclusion Major Tyndall remarked that the standard of the Brigade was very good indeed, and it gave him great pleasure to inspect their work. The winners were the South China Athletic Association Division. The" Savage Memorial" Cup for runners-up was won by the Shaukiwan Division, King's College Old Boys' Division gaining third place. Mok Cho Tsuen" Cup.-This cup is awarded for the best Divisional Squad in First Aid. Eleven divisions competed. The examiners were Dr. Li Shu Fan, II

Brigade Surgeon, and Dr. Dovey, Corps Surgeon. The competition was won by the Y.M.C.A. Division with 98 per cent. The Railway Division were second with 84 per cent. "Ho Kom Tong" Nursing Shield.-The Examiners were Dr. (Mrs.) Dovey, Corps Surgeon, and Mrs. Merriman, Staff urse, Each Nursing Division sent a squad. The shield was won by the Victoria Nursing Division who thus regained it once more. The Victoria ursing Division consists of all English-speaking members who were thus able to respond quickly and easily to the questions set. A new division, the l\iui Fong, with few English-speaking members, came second, but have a trained nurse for their officer. B?'igade Trophies. " Ho FlIk" Cup.-Inter-Railway Division.

I 'DIA.- ir Ernest Burdon, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., I.C.S., Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, reports : The retirement of Sir David Petrie from India during the year under report entailed h1s resignation from the office of Chief Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas 'within the Empire of India. He held charge of this post from December, 1932, to larch. 1936, and during his period of office the Brigade made considerable progress. He was the first Chief Commissioner to inspect the Brigade Units at t~e headquarters of various Districts. The Grand Prior of the Order appointed 1r Ernest Burdon, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., I.C.S., to succeed Sir David Petrie, and also admitted him to the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem as Knight of Grace. Colonel SleeJl1011'S Vtsit.-The outstanding event during the year under review was the tour of inspection undertaken by Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., Knight of Justice of the Order, Chief Commissioner of St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas. This is the first occasion on which the Brigade in India has had the honour of welcoming the Chief Commissioner for Overseas. The visit of so disting:uishe~ an o~cer marks an important stage in the history of the growth of the Bngade III India. Although this was his :first visit as Chief Commissioner Overseas,. Colonel Sleeman is no stranger to the country which his family has served contllluously for over 125 years, beginning with his grandfather and continuing to-day in his son, Lieut. J. C. de F. Sleeman, an Officer of the Order, attached to the Royal Tank Corps at Cawnpore who also acterl as his father's staff officer during part of his tour. His visit following the two disastrous earthquakes in the preceding years cannot fail to foster the spirit of disinterested service that the Order stands for, and encourage the formation of more Brigade Divisions in order that India may be prepared for any emergency in which skilled First Aid knowledge can help to mitigate human suffering. A t the time of writing this report, Colonel Sleeman had visited only six out of the twenty-six places included in the itinerary of his two and half months' tour in India. Arriving in Bombay on 3rd December, he was received by Mr. G. Wiles, C.S.I., C.LE., I.C.S., Assistant Commissioner, TO. III District of the Brigade, and Chairman of the Bombay Provincial Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, who welcomed him on behalf of the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, and the Indian Council of the Association. Colonel Sleema.n was greatly impressed by the work done by the Bombay Corps of the. Bngade during the successive riots in the city, having himself seen their work dun~g th~ ~~29 riots. In addressing the parade of the Bombay Ambulance and Nurslllg DIVlslOns, numbering over 400. on the morning of 5th December, Colonel Sleeman expressed great satisfaction at their smart turn-out and efficiency, and

of St. J ohn-a Fellowship that had discovered that the secret of happiness was to do good to others. . . ' The members of this District as usual performed pubilc dubes at many athlebc functions, fairs , excursions, etc., both in Bombay and in the surroun~ing count.ry. The outstanding piece of work of the Bombay .D~v:isions ~vas done m connecb~)ll with the recent communal riots when every DlvlslOn assIsted to the best of ItS ability. H ad more facilities, such as more motor ambulances, etc., been aV~~Cl:ble, even better work could have been done. s it is, members of the Bombay DIVlslOns between them attended to 727 cases, and put in 2,462 hours of duty during the riots often at considerable personal risk from flying stones and bottles. One of these actually did go through the 'w indscreen of one of the Parsipivisio~'s ambulance cars . Typical of the public spirit showr: by I?-emb~r~ ~)ll this occaslOn~ was that of the Divisional Surgeon of the People s Umon DlvIslOn, who lent hiS own car to the Division for use as an· ambulance. The number of cases reported to have been treated by m~mbers of this District during the past year, both on public duty and on ot~er oC~Cl:s~ons, aggregat~s 1,6 3, while 1,144 cases were removed by them. The :\Iusltm DlvlslOn alone, which owns a motor ambulance, treated over 600 cases and undertook 439 removals! . The Parsi Ambulance Division also did excellent work during the riots . TheIr two motor ambulances were constantly in action, removing the injured after they had received First Aid and also removing stranded persons from danger zones to places of safety. The members were on duty for 12 hours a day durin n- the SIX days of the riots, treated a total of 423 cases, and removed 614 cases. They also rendered prompt and useful aid on the occasion of a big fire in ~he Fort areCl: on 12th :'II~y. The Cosmopolitan, Hindu, Jewish, Maratha Peoples' Umon, and RadIant Club DIVIsions also rendered service during the riots. The members of the Parsi ursing Division attended hospital seven t.imes and privately nursed 48 cases. They als? ~reated 119 cases on ~u.blic duty a~d ot?-erwi e, 25 members received part-time trammg at the Colaba l\hlttary Ho pltal, m order to fit them for service in emergencies as V.A.D. members. The members of the Iuslim Nursing Division also did 35 hospital attendances. Their work during the riots is commendable. As soon.a~ the news arriv.ed tha~ some women were injured in Kamitipura, five of them VISIted ~he place l1:nmedIat~ly, rendered First Aid to the injured, and thereafter 'worked m the hospital treabng cases and looking after the patients .. When this. Div~si~n, of purdah wom~~ was formed, a section of the Muslim publIc had certam mIsgIvmgs as to the utIlity of such a unit. Experience has, however, prov:e~ ,that even purdah. womeI?- can be of great help in emergencies. The Cadet DlvlslOns attended all mspecbons and drills, etc., along with their parent Divisions. . . . The usual number of ambulance competitions which are a feature of thIS Dlstnct was held again this year, 15 out of these being held by the Parsi Ambulance (6), Parsi ursing (5), and Parsi Cadet (4) Divisions, In addition, the two teams sent in for the All-India Competitions by the Parsi ursing Division secured second and third places. . A camp of instruction was held at Versova by the Pars 1 Ambula.nce. and Cadet Divisions and proved most successful. It was mspected by the DIstn~t Surg~on and Superintendent who saw the members actually at work. A camp of ms~ructlOn was also held by the Surat Ambulance Division at Ada;an on 30th Apnl.

No. VI District (East Indian Railway). This District consists of 9 Ambulance and 2 Nursing Divisions with a total strength of 240 men and women. The Assistant Commissioner during his tours of inspection as Chief Medical Officer inspected all the Divisions during the year and was satisfied with the general efficiency of the members. The teams from this District rendered a good account of themselves by winning three shields, and securing the second place in two other competitions at the All-India Ambulance Competitions held in Bombay in January, 1936. One of the winning teams secured as many as 957 out of 1,000 marks. Another team won the Railway Shield at the Bengal Provincial Ambulance competitions. The ursing Divisions also took part in the All-India mbulance competitions and did well, although they did not annex any trophy. The members of all the Ambulance Divisions render First Aid wherever accidents happen in the workshops. Those of the Giridih Coalfield Divisions rendered First Aid to 33 persons who were injured in Kolimaran 110tor Bus accident on 8th February 1936. The members of Jamalpur vVorkshop Divisions rendered valuable service at the l\Iaghi Purnimashi fair at ultangunge and at the Ardha Kumbha fair at Allahabad. Four members of ITO. I Nursing Division at Lillooah, while on their way to compete at the Bengal Provincial Ambulance competitions in January, 1936, gave an excellent account of themselves by rendering First Aid to an injured woman who was knocked down by a passing motor car near Government House, Calcutta. The Voluntary id Detachment cheme is receiving the Assistant Commissioner's attention. One Detachment has already been organized at Dinapore which is awaiting registration. It is proposed to form another unit at Asansol and a Cadet Nursin CT Division at the Railway Hill School, Jharipani. The Assistant Commissioner, Lieut.-Colonel Sir Hassan Suhrawardy, O.B .E., M.D., was on leave from 21st l\Iay to 7th ovember, during which period :\Iajor F. E. R . Laborda, M.R .C.S., acted for him.

o. VII District (United Provinces). A separate District for the United Provinces 'with headquarters at Lucknow was formed during the year, and Colonel H. C. Buckley, V.R.S., 1.M.S., Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, was appointed Acting Assistant Commissioner in charge of it. Formerly the United Provinces formed part of o. I District with headquarters at Lahore, but were latterly withdrawn from that District and placed directly under the Chief Commissioner for India until such time as it became feasible to set up a separate District organization. At present this District con i ts of two Ambulance Divisions at Allahabad and Bareilly, and eleven Cadet Ambulance Divisions at Agra, Allahabad, Cawnpore, Fyzabad, Lucknow, Iainpuri (3), Ioradabad (2), and Unao. The strength of the Ambulance Divisions at the end of the year was 81 and of the Cadet Divisions 133. The Allahabad Ambulance Division has many members of the old Knox Ambulance Corps which for several years rendered useful service at the Bathing fairs, etc., under the guidance of Mr. H. M. Kazmi, in co-operation with the local Seva Samiti Boy Scouts. The members of this Corps took part in the All-India Ambulance Competitions held in Allahabad in 1922 and they also rendered valuable assistance to the civil authorities during the communal riots in 1924. This Corps has now been converted into a regular Ambulance Division, which was registered in October this year, and has been uniformed and equipped. The members of this Division gave a display of First Aid work before the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India during his visit to Allahabad in September. The Bareilly Ambulance Division was formed in November and has also been equipped and uniformed. The Provincial Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association made a grant of Rs. 4,000, from its share of the Silver Jubilee Fund, to the Assistant Commissioner for the organization of three Ambulance and one Nursing Divisions. Of this Rs. 1,000 has been allotted to each of the two Ambulance Divisions at Allahabad and Bareilly to meet the cost of equipment and uniforms. The Association also placed a sum of Rs. 2,500 at the disposal of the Director of Public Instruction for Cadet Divisions, and he has sanctioned equipment grants of Rs. 100 each to ten Cadet Divisions. The Cadet Divisions at Mainpuri have reported good work. A team competed at the All-India Ambulance Competitions held in Bombay and won the" Chetwode" Challenge Shield open to Cadet Ambulance Divisions of the Brigade. Cadets from

these Divisions also furnished a First Aid Camp at the local Devi Fair Rural Uplift Exhibition. Divisions A dministered by H eadq~tarters. 'With the formation of a District for the United Provinces only the Ambulance Division at the Patna Training School and the Cadet Division at the Patna Collegiate School remained under the direct charge of the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India. The Patna Training School Division held 4-4 parades, and a camp of instruction was arranged at the Rajgir Hills from 6th to 1-4th December.

The Cadet Division functioned actively during the year but owing to holidays could not benefit by the Staff Officer's visit to Patna.

Tonking in this connection. They have both been unsparing in the help and time they have devoted to the First Aid work of this Division. Instruction of the African rank and file of the Force has continued and they have obviously benefited from the classes of instruction in First Aid attended by them. First Aid was rendered by members of this Division during the year to 36 seriously injured persons. Continued shortage of police staff precluded the submission of reports of First Aid rendered in cases of minor in)urie:>. Cases of i~terest are ; (a) On the morning of 17th January, 1936, Ali ChIef Marshal SlI Robert BrookePopham, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S . O., A . F.C., when carrying out an inspection of a Royal Air Force unit in the Northern Frontier District of this Colony, met with a serious accident whilst motoring between the administrative station of Moyale and the aerodrome. The car got out of control on a steep hill, left the r03:d, and cra~hed into a large rock and the Air Chief Marshal, wh~ was a passenger m. the vehIcl.e, sustained a fractured humerus as a result of which he suffered conslderable pam and some shock. Unfortunately no doctor was available within a hundred miles or more but Mr. Corry Thomas, an Assistant Superintendent of this Force, and a member of its Ambulance Division, who was in the station, promptly proceeded to the scene of the accident and applied First Aid. Sir Robert was then immediately brought from ::'\10yale by air to airobi. Dr. Carman, the Divisional Surgeon of the Brigade, who attended to Sir Robert's arm on his arrival in I airobi, has reported that the splints, bandages, and sling had b een efficiently applied and that Sir Robert had informed him that after receiving First Aid attention he had felt very little severe pain. Although the First Aid rendered by Mr. Corry Thomas was of the prescribed simple nature that members of the Division have frequent occasion to give in the course of their normal Police duties, the circumstances in which it was applied in this instance were certainly exceptional having regard to the efficiency of its application, the remoteness of the locality, the absence of a medical practitioner, and the public distinction of the patient. (b) An African railway signaller, employed at Kijabe Railway Station, received an electric shock through a telephone receiver, caused, it is believed, by lightning. He was unconscious; respiration could not be detected. Assistant Inspector Godfrey, a member of the Division was on duty in the area and applied artificial respiration and treated shock. The patient recovered consciousness after fifty minutes of treatment and was removed to hospital, where he recovered. (c) European lady, when competing in a polo gymkhana, was thrown from her horse when it fell at a fence. In rising the horse kicked its rider, causing a compound fracture to her nose. The area surrounding the wound was cleaned and dressed and the patient removed to her home by Assistant Inspector McMillan, a member of the Division. (d) Inspector G. M. Taylor rendered First Aid in somewhat sinlilar circumstances when in attendance at a race meeting at Eldoret. A jockey received a blow on the head from the head of a restive horse, causing a wound on the forehead , above the nose, with profuse bleeding. HGemorrhage was arrested, the wound dressed, and the patient was able to complete his riding engagements during the remainder of that meeting. (e) As a result of an altercation an African received a blow on the head with a heavy stick, causing a severe wound on the forehead, near the temple. The patient became unconscious and fits occurred. The matter was reported to Assistant Inspector Tyler, who visited the scene and found the wound undressed and septic. The patient had also bitten his tongue, which was swollen. Assistant Inspector Tyler inserted a piece of wood wrapped in cloth between the patient's teeth, then cleaned the wounds and applied dressings. Shock was treated, the patient covered 'w ith blankets and removed to hospital, where he recovered. (f) Instances of the benefit of First Aid instruction for African ranks of the Police is given by the following occurrences ; An African woman, carrying a heavy load of firewood and a child on her back, inadvertently placed a foot in a hole at the side of a road along which she was travelling and stumbled. She placed her right hand out to save herself, "nth the result that both bones of the forearm were broken, due to weight of her load and severity of the fall. Police Constable No. 266, Ajala, who has not yet qualified for his First Aid certificate, of the Kiambu Police Unit, saw the accident. He collected two pieces of wood and applied them as splints, using his own handkerchief

Conclusion. This is my first report as Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India and I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the support and co-operation I have received from the Assistant Commissioners in the districts and from those others who have made it possible for us to maintain the efficiency of our work and to extend the scope of our services. The visit of the Chief Commissioner, St. John mbulance Brigade Overseas, has been a source of inspiration to us all, and I look forward confidently to further developments in our work. As he rightly pointed out the present numb.er of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions is entirely inadequate for a country the SIze of India, and we must not rest until every big city has its trained and uniformed ambulance workers.

KENYA.-Divisional Superintendent Captain G. Pritchard Brown, on behalf of District Superintendent R. C. A. Cavendish, reports : The strength of the Division on 31st December, 1936, totalled 142, a net increase of 21 members on the total at the end of 1935. Thirteen members were struck off the strength during the year on ceasing to be members of the Kenya Police Force. The racial composition of the Division is as follows ; Europeans 5 Asiatics 17 Africans 40 142 All of the above number passed the prescribed examination or re-examination in 17 centres during the year under review, and are serving members of the Kenya Police. The membership at the close of the year is the highest yet recorded for the Kenya Police Ambulance Division. Members of the Division are by reason of their duties as Police Officers posted at various stations throughout the Colony and Protectorate. Captain G. Pritchard Brown, Divisional Superintendent, acted from 4th December, 1936, until the end of the year as District Superintendent, Kenya, during the absence on leave in the United Kingdom of Mr. R. C. A. Cavendish, District Superintendent. Mr. J. G. Leslie, Ambulance Officer, acted from 4th December, 1936, as Divisional Superintendent. His Majesty the King was graciously pleased to award in the New Year's Honours the King's Police Medal to Captain G. Pritchard Brown, Assistant Commissioner of Police and Divisional Superintendent of the Kenya Police Division. His Majesty the King was graciously pleased to sanction the appointment to the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem as a Serving Brother of Mr. A.

and two pieces of clothing obtained from other travellers on the road. The patient recovered. (g) First Aid was also rendered by two African Police, TO. 646, Sergeant Theodore, and No. 1565, Sergeant Onyango, both members of the Division, to an Indian injured in a motor car accident. The injured man was suffering from a fracture of the left femur and multiple wounds on the head. Splints were applied, the wounds dressed, and shock treated. The patient was removed to hospital, and, although he unfortunately died as a result of the severe nature of his injuries, the First Aid treatment undoubtedly minimized the pain and discomfort of the journey to hospital. (h) \Vhilst trapping fish in the sea at Mombasa, an frican was bitten in the thiO'h by a shark, the upper portion of the limb being severely damaged. Assista~t Inspectors Ritchie and Handy of the Port Police and members of the Division applied a tourniquet, dressed the wound, and conveyed the patient to hospital, where he recovered. Outside the ac~iv~ties of the Kenya Police Ambulance Division of the Brigade, European and ASiatIc employees of the Kenya and Uganda I ailways and Harbours Administration attended First Aid instruction classes in ... airobi. ine European candidates were examined, eight obtaining passes, while five were re-examined and passed . Classes were also held for Asiatic employees of the Kenya and Uganda H.ailways and Harbours, thirteen obtaining certificates, while three were re-examined, and two secured passes. Mr. K. C,.

MALTA.-Professor A. V. Bernard, O.B.E., M.D., District Officer in charge of the Malta District, reports : -

That there has not been a greater increase in certificate holders this year may be largely attributed to the absence of Doctors J. P. Mitchell, O.B.E., and R . Y. Stones. These gentlemen, who have worked indefatigably for the good of the Association, have been on leave overseas for the major portion of the year. I have to report with regret the retirement of Major F. T. G. Tremlett, M.B.E ., Officer of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John and Superintendent of the Uganda District. :'lajor Tremlett was responsible for the formation of the Uganda Police Ambulance Division and later on when the Uganda District branch of the Association was formed he became its first Superintendent. By his keenness and encouragement he set an example to all who came into contact with him. His retirement on 1st October, 1936, on the ground of age was a great loss to the District. I have to express my thanks to Dr. H. W. Kauntze, our District Surgeon, and to the Officers of the Uganda :Medical Service, also to Dr. R. Y. Stones of the Namirembe Hospital for the kind assistance rendered during the year in arranging lectures and conducting examinations.

The ~everal Divisi~ns of th~ Malta Cc;n-ps c<?ntinu~d their normal training during the penod under reVIew, special attentIon bemg paid to the possible requirements of the situation in Malta.

Our thanks are due to Colonel Battye, D.S .O., M.S., F.R.C.S., for kindly allowing our ladies to attend,. and to Dr. Langley and the Nursing Staff for their trouble and interest in this connection. Special traini?g was giv~n to the memb~rs of the Corps in First Aid for Gas Injuries and other subJects relatmg to precautlOns against Air Raids. Three complete cou.rses were given, and at the examinations held at the end of each, a total of 114 ladles and gentlemen were granted awards as follows : Instructor's Certificate, 2nd Grade 16 Brigade Certificate 18 Ordinary Certificate. . . 80 The Corps had the honour of a visit from Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., Chief ~ommissioner for the Brigade Overseas, who called here on 3rd. Ju?-e, 1936, on ~lS way bacl~ to Englan.d, after a tour of inspection of Brigade Umts m South Afnca, RhodeSia, Austraha, New Zealand, and Ceylon, carried out on behalf of the Grand Prior of the Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the British Realm. . Alth~)Ugh the visit was unavoidably of short duration, Colonel Sleeman found it possible to attend a meeting of the Members of the Malta Corps and give them a very encouraging and stimulating address. Pu~lic dutie~ :vere carried .out by the Corps as in other years, especially on the occaSlOn of rellglOus celebratIons, sports and race meetings, etc. . I am glad to b~ able t~ report that the strength of the Corps has shown an appreClable augmentatIon dunng the year. Our cordial thanks are due to Professor the Hon. R. V. Gales, O.B.E., A.&C.E., an~ to J?r. A. V. Laferla, O.B.E., LL.D., for their kindness in allowing the use of the Umverslty and Lyceum premises for the activities of the Brigade. I wish to express my grateful thanks to Colonel Gatt, O.B.E., M.C., our Corps Officer, and to all Officers and Members of the Corps for their loyal co-operation during the year.

His Majesty the King, the Sovereign Head of the Order of St. John, has graciously approved the admission of the following members as Serving Brothers of the Order ; Dr. J. P. il1itchell, O.B.E. Dr. R. Y. Stones. Applications have been made to Headquarters for the formation of Ambulance Divisions at Mulago and amirembe, but for various reasons it was not found possible to obtain final sanction for their formation at the end of the year. With regard to the Uganda Police Report, I have to inform you that although no specific incidents of first aid rendered to the public are cited, it is well known that on numerous occasions this Division has been of very material assistance and many persons have benefited from its ' aid. The small number of members presenting themselves for re-examination has been explained by the Superintendent and as soon as possible steps will be taken to arrange classes annually at the Headquarters of the various Districts. lthough re-examinations have been few, I have no reason to think there is any decline in efficiency. The total strength of certificate holders in the District at the close of the year under review was 101. This represents an increase of 25 since 31st December, 1935. The strength of the District is distributed as follows ; Uganda Police Ambulance Division 40 Tamirembe Hospital 47 Mulago Hospital 14 101

ZA ZIBAR.-Mr. A. I. Sheringham, Divisional Superintendent of the Zanzibar Police Division, reports : The Division was formed in 1932 and it functioned throughout the year.

COMMAl DERY I~ CA ADA. Extract from the Report of the Commandery in Canada for the year 193G : The Officers of the Commandery are glad to report an increase in numbers in the Brigade, and a sub tantial increase in the number and value of public duties performed . 1?urin& t.he year Corp were formed in ':'Iontreal, 'Vinnipeg, Hamilton, and Toronto. It IS anticipated that, as a result, the work of the Divisions in these cities will be co-ordinated and increa ed. Two new mbulance Divisions and three new NursinO" Divisions have been formed during the year, the lists of all Divisions have been ~hecked, and the names of those who ~ad been .in.eJ?cient for three years or more struck off the strength. Therefore, whlle new DIVISIOns have been formed , the increase in numbers is not great, but the figures as given represent an active and interested group of men and women. Th.e Commandery .C~:)[:nmi ioner vi ited every District in Canada during the year and mpccted all ~IVI IOn p~r . onally. It is. most satisfactory to report that on nearl~ every occaSIOn ~he D:\'lSlOnS paraded m full strength and gave evidence of keen mtere t and effiCiency m both drill and demonstrations. Greater activity has been shown in the matter of public duty in the larger cities, ·w here, of course, more opportunities for service offer. otable amonO" these was the att~ndance of the Brigade at the lying-in-state and obesquies of the late Brother .\ndre m :'IIonlrcal, where more than 500 cases were treated and a total of 545 hours ervice was given by Officers and :\Iembers of the seven Divisions comprisinO" the Corps in that city. 1:> In ':ancouver excellent s~rvice has been given at the public bathing beaches where a s'pe~lally .tramed group IS on duty, and many Divisions in all provinces are a . -I bn rr With the wo:k of First id stations in the mountains during the skiing eason, and on the highway, as well as maintaining the usually excellent work at exhibitions, etc. The ommandery Commis ioner \\·a in tructed to organize teams from Canada to attend the Jubilee elebrations in London in ':'lay, 1937, and financial assistance wa authorized by the ommandery.

THE

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

T. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

The number of cases of "First Aid attended to NOT on Public Duty" was 29,79-!, against 26,325 for the preceding year. The removal or transport work undertaken by the Brigade amounte? ~<? 7,5~-! cases again t 7, 157 for the previous year. From the records kept by DI vlSlOns In connection with transport work, it is shown that there was a total att~ndance ?f members waiting to a sist with transport work of 8, 27, and that the time put III amounted to 33,712 hours. The number of Hospital ttendance was 233, and cases " ~ur ed Privately by :'Iembers of Kursing Divisions" gave a total of 1,077. . The Cadet branch of our organization has made satisfactory progress dunng the year, although there are still some places where an increased interest is to be desired. There is much n eed for the services of young men and women who could act as officers in our junior units. ~Iany of our Cadets, both boys and girls, have attained to considerable proficiency, and quite a number has augmented the ranks of the senior Divisions. The issue of Cadet Proficiency Certificate~ has shown a atisfactory increa e, the total for the year being 1,3 1 against 1,299. At the commenc~ment of th~ ear there were eighteen holders of the Grand Prior's Cadet Badge III the DomlDlOn, and it is pleasing to be able to state that fourteen additional BadO"es were aW<l:r~ed durinO" 1936. The di. tribution of the Grand Prior's Badge throughout the DomlDlOn is: Auckland District, -!; ·W ellington District, 6; \Vanganui Di tnct, 6; Canterbury and West Coast District, 16 ; Total, 32 Badges. In order to secure more efficient administration, the Divisions in the \Vaikato, King Country, Thames Valley, and Bay of Plenty portions of the ,\u ckland District have been organized into a ub-District, to be known as the" South Auckland Sub-District ", and the Divisions in and adjacent to Hamilton have been formed into the Hamilton Corps. In the \Vanganui District it is proposed to form a 'ubDistrict embracing all the Divisions in the Taranaki Province. There have been the usual changes amongst the Officers of the Brigade, and I regret having to report the death of a number of loyal a.nd t.rus~ed workers, including District Superintendent G. H. B. leight (\YanganUl), DI tnct Offi~er .L. Barclay and Lady District Officer :fI1. E. Stace (Wellingto n), and Lady Dlstnct Officer E. ~I. Harborow (Dunedin). Dr. F. J. Borrie, Assistant ommissioner, resigned the charge of the Canterbury and "West Coast District, and wa .tran~ferre.d to the Reserve, and Colonel R. A. H. Fulton felt it necessary to r ellllquish hiS charge of the Otago District. Both Officers had a long service and had rendered excellent aid to the Brigade. Senior District Superintendent Thos. Belworthy, Dunedin, and District Officer H. T. G. Harle, \ anganui, are two Officers who e retirement after lengthy service is regretted . It is pleasing to be able to state that 27 members of the Brigade received the Service Medal of the Order during the year, while the 1st Bar to the l\Iedal was awarded to sixteen members, the 2nd Bar to six members, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Bar to two members in each case. The decision to erect an up-to-date ambulance station in Dunedin, w~ich ~as been rendered possible by the generosity of a local citizen, has given much satisfaction to all concerned. The present premises have long been quite inadequate for the nee?s of the Association and Brigade, and the erection of the new headquarters WIll prove a boon to all associated with the work of St. J oh.n. Du~ng the .y~~r, the Railway Department provided for the o. 1 Locomotive Railway DIVISIOn at Dunedin an ambulance station, consisting of casualty room, lecture hall, etc., and fitted with all necessary conveniences. As the building is adjacent to one of the largest sports grounds in Dunedin, it will be of great value not only for the railway men but also for the general public. The great event of the year 1936 was the visitation to ew Zealand of Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.l\I.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., K.ST.J., which took place early in the year. It had been eagerly looked forward to by all ranks of the Brigade, and the privilege of meeting the Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, was highly valued by all members who were pres~n~ at th.e in~pect.ions, etc. C?l?r: el Sleeman visited all parts of New Zealand, and hIS lllvestIgatlOns mto the actiVIties of the Association and the Brigade were most exhaustive. His subsequent report to His Royal Highness The Grand Prior, which has since be~r: receiv.ed. an~ read with much interest, revealed a remarkable grasp of the condlhons eXIsting m the Dominion . The addresses delivered at the numerous functions arr anged, and the radio talks, did much to bring the work of St. John prominently before the public and to create a greater interest in our activities, while the remarks made at the

Brigade inspections, etc., have had the effect of inspiring members to still greater efforts in the promotion of the work of St. John. The us?al Brigade Comp~titions have t~ken place at Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Chnstchurch~ Dunedm, Invercarglll, and other places, and proved highly ~ uccessful. The South Island Inter-District Competitions were held at Dunedin m. October la t; they drew large entries and raised a good deal of enthusiasm. HIghly succe~s ful Cad~t competitions took place in \iVellington. In concluslOn. I desI:-e to express my thanks to all ranks of the Brigade for the ready co-operation whIch I have r eceived in the discharge of my duties durinO" the past year, and to those a t t . John's Gate for the courtesy at all times exte~ded to me.

Extract from the Report of the Commandery in the year 1936 : -

outhern Africa for

The Director of ~Iedical Servic~s, Colonel E. H. Cluver, accompanied by General Co~lyer, C.B., c.~!'G., 0:5.0., ACtlllg Commandery Commissioner, carried out the Bngade Annual Inspechon of all Ambulance and ursing Divisions in the Peninsula at The. astle, apetown. There was an excellent muster of all ranks, and the Inspectmg Officers expressed great satisfaction with the high standard of efficiency hown. The in pection of all Divi ions of the Transvaal and S.A.R. and H. Districts on the I eef ar a was conducted by ~Iajor-General A. J. E. Brink, 0.5.0., D.T.D., Secretary for D~fence, at the \Var:derers Ground, Johannesburg. This was one of the most 1 mposmg para~es the Bngad~ has held, and ~he staging was carried out admirably. _\.t the co~clulOn o~ the ReView, G:eneral Bnnk addressed the Brigade in Afrikaans a~d Er:g hsh ,. heartily congratulatmg all ranks on their. splendid efficiency, and expressmg hlS pl~a ure that such a large number of Afrikaans-speaking members were takmg part m such a worthy cause. The Com~nandery ~ommissioner personally conducted the inspection at Pretoria, Blo~mfontem,. a.nd KImberley, and was mu ch impressed by the general standard of effiCIency ~xhlblted, and the large amount of voluntary service which the members are rendenng throughout the country. The inspec~ions ?f ~utlying Divisions were carried out by the Officers in Charge of the respect?ve Dlstncts and show that the work of St. John in these areas is being fully mamtamed. The Empire Exhibition in Johannesburg called for strenuous efforts in providinO" all day. d~ty for some months, and every praise is due to Lieut.-Colonel G. E . Peacock~ Comm.lsslOner of the Transvaal District (who was in charge of the arrangements), a~d ~lS able and er:ergetic band .of w~rkers. from the Transvaal and the Railway DI ~nct for t~e adm~~ble manner m which thIS great effort was carried out-without a hItch and m ad.dlhon. to the usual public duties. During the first hvo months over 3,000 cases (mcludmg fractures, lacerated wounds, and even snake-bites) were treated. ~uring the. celeb~ation~ of the Golden Jubilee of the City of Johannesburg the Bngade pronded FIrst Ald Posts and Dressing Stations at all street intersections along the ro.u~e of procession, and treated over 230 casualties during the morning. I.n ~ec09Dlhon of the se:-vices rendered by members of the I ursing Divisions in asslstIr:g. m stree~ c?llechon.s .for t~e hospital funds the Johannesburg Hospital ~uthonhes have Signified theIr mtenhon of endowing a bed in the New Centre Block m the name St. John Ambulance. . The variou~ hospital committees and staffs throughout the country invariably gIve .every aSSIstance to membe~s of Nursing Divisions to attend for duty at their hos.p~tals . and thus add to theIr knowledge of nursing duties, and this valuable trammg IS very much appreciated. .T?-~ Brigade i~ Southern Rhodesia has been augmented by two new Ambulance Dl~IslOns compr:sed. of members of the British South African Police. . ~he RhodeSIa DIstrict" has been formed, and includes the Rhodesia Railways D IStriCt.

J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

November, 1936, and the judges expressed great satisfaction with the high standard of work shown. In order to stimulate further interest in this valuable training, the Commandery Commissioner is presenting a trophy for the best individual marks in the" Selborne " Shield contest for Ambulance Divi ions. The personnel of the Brigade shows a further gratifying increas e during the year under review, especially in the Transvaal. A large number of congratulatory messages are received in connection with the voluntary services rendered by members of the Brigade, and there is inc rea ing evidence of the appreciation of the work so efficiently rendered "Pro Utilitate Hominum ". It is a great pleasure for me to record my sincere appreciation and grateful thank to Colonel E. H . Cluver, Director of IVledical Services, for kindly carrying out the duties of Surgeon-in-Chief during the absence of Colonel Sir Edward 1 . Thornton, K.B.E., in England, a nd to all Officers in Charge of Ambulance and ursing Divisions for their loyal co-operation throughout the year under review.

ST.\RTED \\·O H.K 1,:\ 18H3.

THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-fifth Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. H.R.H. The Grand Prior has been pleased to re-appoint the Hospitaller for a further triennial peliod ending on the Eve of t. John 1939 and to reconstitute the Ho pital Committee as set forth at the head of this Report. Your ommittee warmly congratulates the Warden on the honour of a Knighthood conferred on him by H.M. the King, our Sovereign Head, in hi birthday Honours list. It is a welcome recognition of Sir J ohn trathe:un's whole-hearted devotion to the work of the Order in Palestine and his successful admini tration of the Hospital committed to his charge. \Vith the exception of two or three temporary medical officers who were in charge when the Ho pital was re-opened immediately after the war ended in Palestine, Dr. trathearn has been in charge of the Ophthalmic Hospital since 1919 as Chief urgeon and from 1921 with the title of \;Varden. Before the war he served under Dr. Cant as Assistant Surgeon from 1906 to 1909 and undoubtedly imbibed something of his intense ardour for the well-being of the Order of St. J ohn and for the high ideals for which it stands and to both Dr. Cant and Sir John Strathearn is due, in consequence, the regard in which the work of the Hospital is held, not only in the Holy Land but also in the wider sphere of the Tear East. N or must your Committee omit to mention both Mrs. Cant and Lady trathearn in its tribute to the influence of the Hospital in Jerusalem. Both these ladies have proved worthy helpmates and their unflagging zeal has at all times been freely rendered in furthering the interests of the patients who throng our wards and O.P. Department. Dr. Khalil M. Budeiri, on the departure of Dr. R yan, has succeeded to the post of Registrar and House Surgeon. Sister Ellis has returned to the Hospital to take the place of Sister Baugh whose three-year Agreement expired in December. It is with regret that your Committee learned that Mr. J. Horne Stevenson, M.B.E., K.ST .J., K.C., for thirty years a member of the Committee and Hon. ecretary for Scotland, has felt obliged to resign his seat on the Committee and his Hon. Secretaryship. His work was invaluable in keeping alive in Scotland interest in the work of the Order in Palestine. His place has been filled by the appointment of Colonel Sir Colin MacRae,

C.B.E.

During the year under review two old and devoted servants have passed away. Dr. W. E. Cant died at his home near Colchester on August 17th and Mrs. Cant only survived him by a few weeks. Dr. Cant succeeded Dr. Ogilvie as Medical Officer-in-charge of the Hospital, which had first opened its doors in the Old Turkish House

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

in 1883. He laboured for twenty-three years building up the reputation of the Hospital amid great difficulties caused by the prejudices of the very people he had been sent to serve, sometimes as surgeon ingle-handed, but always with Mrs. Cant's help, even in the meane t capacity. It is said that she at times scrubbed the floors and she certainly never once returned home during all those twenty-three years. Those were what they both loved to de cribe as the" lean years" of the Ho pital and in a letter written shortly before her death she declared that neither her husband or herself ever regretted them though they read with pleasure the annual Reports of later years telling of a larger outlook and greater opportunities of furthering the work. Dr. Cant on retirement from his po twas promot.ed Knight of Grace of the Order and returned for a further t.hree month' emergency work on the sudden death of his successor and thus his total service amount d to twenty-three years and three month. He wa appointed by the Grand Prior a member of the Hospital Committee on his return to England and later was made Hon. Consulting Surgeon to the Ho pital. ChapterGeneral recognizing his great record of single-hearted work has expre ed its wish that a suitable memorial should be erected to perpetuate his name in the Hospital he loved-a memorial which will doubtless al 0 record the virtues of Mrs. Cant as well. The following is an extract from the notice appearing in the Times on the morrow of Dr. Cant's funeral.

It is with deep regret that a cable received on New Year's Day announced the death of Lady Watson in Jerusalem on 31st December. She had been knocked down some three months earlier by a heavily laden donkey while on her way to work as usual in the Hospital. It was found that her femur had been broken and she was removed to the Government General Hospital where she received every possible kindness and attention but her great age-she was 82-was against her permanent recovery and she gradually weakened till the end came. he will be greatly missed in Jerusalem where she had lived since 1916 in a house she had bought in the Old City, overlooking the Muristan, the birthplace of the Order of St. John, and facing the Church of the Holy epulchre. She was a great servant of the Order of St. John-working regularly once a week in the Linen Room of the Hospital and untiring in her advocacy of the needs of the Hospital financially which resulted in a revenue averaging since 1921 over £221 per annum. As Hon. Trea urer in Jerusalem of our Hospital her place will be hard to fill. The following is an extract from an appreciation of her published in The Times of 2nd January, 1937:-

Eye diseases were horribly prevalent in the l\car East, and the ignorance of the people intensified their suffering. It was quite usual to see the eyes of little children surrounded by a black ring of flies, by which ophthalmia and other diseases were spread like wildfire. Blindness, partial or total, was common, and it was said that in Bet.hlehem hardly a child had sight in both eyes. The people paid fantastic sums to wi e women and other charlatans to cure their eyes with" powdered pearls" (cigarette ash) and" silver dust" (pure lime), but t.hey were inclincd to be sceptical of hospital treatment because it was slow. Beduin and other tent-dwellers were honestly afraid to trust t.hemselves in a bed in a hospital ward, and, indeed, confinement ·w ithin a building was like going to prison to them. In those early days many such a patient, nervous, wild, and free, would slip out of the hospital and back to his own tent-generally to return months later to beg the doctor then to restore the sight which his own fear had d estroyed. Against such mountains of fear, ignorance, and mistrust, Dr. Cant laboured with a quiet faith, a skill, and patience which were the very embodiment of Christianity in the Holy Land. The British Ophthalmic H ospital was not only the best fri end the people had, but in time they realized its value, and so little children were brought for treatment, as well as elders who came to beg the doctor to save the last glimmer of sight left to them. I 0 account of Dr. Cant's work would be complete without m ention of Mrs. Cant; she was a trained nurse, and without her h elp his labours would have been shorn of half their effectiveness. For manv years she was matron and sole nurse, serving in both hospital and outpatient department, and at operations, with an energy and swiftness of work which were the outcome of a philanthropy as engrossing as his own. They were k een gardeners, and in summer every spare inch of the open courtyard leading to their rooms was occu pied by pots and barrels and old kerosine tins in which Palestinian and English plants flowered in profusion and perfection.

Despite the growing in6.rmities of age, she continued to give devoted service to the hospital, not only as honorary treasurer in J erusalem, but as the practical and effective director of the hospital linen room, and, so far as her modest means would allow, financially as well. Partly of French descent, she was an excellent linguist, and she gave language lessons in J erusal m in order to devote the proceeds to the support of the hospit.al. Sometimes she took in paying guests, and every penny thus made went to the same object. I ot content with this, she made over her house t.o the English Grand Priory as a memorial to her husband, the gift to take effect on her death, so that this interesting specimen of 111 dieval Jerusalem architecture will now be added to the other property of the Order in the Muristan. Even during the dangerous riots in J erusalem in 1929 Lady ,Vatson continued without interruption her regular visits to the hospital, to which her death will be an almost irreparable loss.

. Lady Watson was laid to rest in the Protestant cemetery on Mount ZIOn, ~hen a large and representative gathering was present to pay their last tnbute of respect and esteem. The Bishop in Jerusalem, a Chaplain of t.he Order, officiated at the service, while Sir John and Lady Stratheam, Dr. and Mrs .. Wren, and the British Matron and Sisters of the Hospital were the chIef mourners. The coffin, borne by six British Police who had rece~ved their First Aid training through the Hospital staff, was draped m the flag of the Order. The High Commissioner was represented by his A.D.C., and others attending were Colonel W. G. Heron, C.B.E., D.S.O., K.ST.]., Director of Medical Services, and very many members of the Department of Public Health, Mr. R. G. B. Spicer, C.M.G., M.C., C.ST.]., Inspector-General Palestine Police, Mrs. Graham Brown, Mrs. MacInnes, O.ST.]., and Miss M. Nixon, O.ST.]. The Warden and Sub-Warden wore their official robes. Lady Watson was a Dame of Grace and held the Order's Service Medal. Her husband, Sir Charles M. Watson, K.C.M.G., R.E., was Chairman of the British Ophthalmic Hospital-the title by which our Hospital was then known-from 1912 till his death in 1916. Natur~lly th~ work of the J:Iospital has been seriously affected by the Arab stnke whIch lasted for SIX months-to be accurate from 25th April

At the same time the cost of food rose, for markets were shut. The Sub-Warden wrote in July, "During the last week or two there has been a concerted effort to tighten up the Arab trike by methods of intimidation and we have been compelled to buy food whenever and wherever we could get it and shopping has almost been reduced to a matter of smuggling." . The following notice was posted In the O.P. Department :The Staff of this Hospital are asked to remem~er that \-\·h.ile on d~iy they are concerned only with the treatm.ent o~ sick people l:re pechve of race, religion, or political views. The dl. CUSSlon of matters 111 any way connected with the present political situation ei~her amoI:gsi themsel,:'cs or with patients is forbidden on hospital premIses. Patients who wlsh to attend here for treatment are asked to co-operate with the Staff in abiding by this rule. (Signed) NORl\IA WRE I, Acting Warden.

I t is satisfactory to learn that no friction occurred between the Jew and Arab employees in the Hospital. Everything worked ~moothly and much credit is due to Dr. Wren, the Sub-Warden (who was SIngle-handed, owing to the absence on long leave by t~e Warden and the ab~ ence of the Registrar for the greater part of the hme), and the tact and coolness of the Matron and Sisters. The following letter from a patient, Major Grant Taylor, O.B.E., M.C., O.ST.}., of the Royal Scots Fusiliers speaks for itself. It was addressed to the Hospitaller : Force Headquarters, Palestine Force. 17th October, 1936. Dear Sir, Very soon after arrival in this country, I was playing squash one day and was unfortunate enough to get a ball in the eye. The damage l?oked serious and I was taken to hospital. When I had recovered suffiCIently to take stock of my surroundings, I realized that I was in the Ophthalmic Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. . . Being an Officer of the Order, I was naturally very mterested, and as It must be an unusual occurrence for a member of the Order to be treated in the Hospital, I thought you might be interested to know about it from the patient's point of view. . I was treated by Dr. Wren who was kindness itself and I fee~ I o",:,e hIm a great debt of gratitude in that my sight will probably be ulllI?paired: The Matron and Sisters were most kind and there was an aIr of qUIet efficiency about the whole staff which was most impressive.

I was amazed at the wonderful work these people are doing. Nearly all the patients are Arabs and I was told that in the hot weather an average of 300 to 500 out-patients were treated every day, in addition to the 30 or 40 in-patients . Many d elicate eye-operations are p erformed every week. The hospital is famous among the Arabs all over the Middle East. Many of them travel for days on camels to get to this wonderful place of healing. I was astonished that the staff could tackle this immense task, but it was all done quietly and quickly with no fuss. r wonder how m any members of the Order r ealize the great work that is going on daily in the IIospiial. I am ashamed to say tha t I had no idea myself. I, of course, knew the hospital existed and had intended to visit it while I was in Palestine, but I had no idea of the magnitude and importance of its work. I was filled with admiration for the staff. They are doing a grand work and their courage and steadfastness are magnificent. I shall always rem mbcr with gratitude the time I spent as a patient in the Hospital of the Order of St. John in Jeru salem. I am, Yours sincerely, R. A. Grant Taylor. (l\Iajor, Royal Scots Fusiliers).

The following extract from a letter written by lr. R. G. B. Spicer, C.M.G., M.C., C.ST.}. Inspector General of the Palestine Police and dated December 27th is of int rest-" OUf First Aid is going well and v ry many cases occurred in the riots where our First Aid Training was able to show itself." Before the outbreak of the so-called Arab strike it looked as if our staff were to be busier than ever. The number of patients in February was a record for that month, and in spite of the troubles when the Annexe was opened in August the number of children who came for treatment varied between 70- 100 daily-many of them having to be treated twice in the day. 1iss Jones has again taken charge of this exacting work and your ommittee would take this opportunity of expressing its gratitude for all she does. It was with satisfaction that your Committee learned that H.M. The King had sanctioned her admission to the Order in the grade of an Officer. This ceaseless round of work from January to December is a violent departure from the practice of the Hospital thirty years ago. The records show that for Christmas and January the Hospital was closed altogether for In-Patients, thus allowing some . breathing space for the staff, who could get away for "local" leave without upsetting routine. Owing to the disturbed state of Palestine it was felt that it would be wiser to postpone the issue of an Appeal to Members of the Order until the atmosphere was clearer. Chapter-General, however, has, on the representation of your Committee, passed a Resolution approving :i. The erection of a Paying Patient Block of not less than six 1st Class and four 2nd Class wards. ii. The building of a new O.P. Department and the adaptation of the existing O.P. Department for the treatment of patients by physical therapy processes. iii . .The r~-~djustment of the wards for patients in the present HospItal bmldIng whereby, by the removal of the Nursing Staff anel

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

the Registrar into the present Warden's Lodge-or alternatively into a new building-better accommodation will be provided (including an additional theatre) for ordinary patients. iv. The building, if necessary, of a new Warden's Lodge. It was decided to issue the Appeal in January, 1937, for at least £20,000 and your Committee is glad to be able to report that T. 1. The King and Queen, H.M. Mary, the Queen Mother, as well as H.R.H. the Grand Prior have all graciously given it their financial upport. Your Committee is therefore confident that the Appeal will have a sympathetic and generous response, so that before 1937 has run its course some progre s will have been made by laying at least the foundation of the new building. As evidence of the neces ity for the ppeal, in 193- 1 the taff treated 133 Army and R.A.F. personnel (including wives and children), 234 British nationals, including Officials, 536 Palestine Government Officials and employees, 20 British Police and 192 European monk and nun . For none of these was the Hospital founded. Is is intended that the. e classes should be treated in the Paying Patient Department for which the Appeal has been issued. It is gratifying to learn that the Military Authorities request ed the ubWarden to take charge of all the Ophthalmic work in conn dion with the troops. In July and August there were 12,1 such cases. On 20th June H.E. The High Commi sioner visited the Hospital. In his broadca t speech reported in the Palesthte Post of 8th July, he declared :Another r esult of these disorders is to prevent country people rcceiving ordinary medical attention . Doctors cannot travel frcely, and villagers cannot comc into towns as is their wont. I will give you but onc example this cyening. I often visit the eye hospita l of St. J ohn of J erusalcm. suall}' at this time of year some 400 out-patients are treated cvcry clay. If these disorders continue a direct r esult will be that hundrcds of people with eye diseases will receive no treatment this summer, and many children whose eyes could be cured will be blind all thcir livcs. That is but one example of many tragic happenings.

The second and final session of the Arab School for Palestinian girls was opened in J anuary and closed in April. The Warden reported that he found the strain on the staff, combined with the work in the Hospital, was too great and recommended reluctantly that the experiment should under its present auspices be given up, though undoubtedly it had been proved that what work had been done was a success. The building has been standing empty since the closing of the school but a tenant, it is hoped, may be found ere long. Your Committee has moved Chapter-General to cause the arms of Field-Marshals the Viscount Allenby and the Viscount Plumer to be erected on the wall of the Annexe facing the Hospital. The order for thi work has been put in hand and it is intended to invite H.E. The High Commissioner to unveil the shields with due ceremony. Your Committee has decided to replace the mural tablet commemorating Lady Lechmere which was destroyed when the Turks blew up the greater part of the Hospital. Both Sir Edmund Lechmere who was one of the chief Founders of the Hospital and Lady Lechmere were munificent supporters of the Hospital and a Ward is named after them. 1

The figures for 1936 are not available at the time of writing.

REPORT

The annual t. John Day service of Holy Communion which for some years past has been held in the underground Crusaders' Church of Mar H~nna in the Muristan, by permission of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, was thIS year held in the Scots Memorial Church of St. Andrew overlooking our Ann~xe. The Pol~ce were anxious that no unnecessary trouble should anse and were relIeved when the idea of a service in the Old City was ab~n~oned. Our sincere .thanks have been expressed to the Rev. WIlham Ross, the Chaplam of St. Andrew's for his courtesy in placing his hurch at the disposal of the members of the Order of St. John. The .General Assembl~ of the Church of Scotland have approached your CommI~tee through ~l~eIr Scots. lemorial Committee on the subject of pre ervmg the amemtIes of theIr Church and Hospice and the Annexe of the Hospital o~ t.

It would appear to be ad~Isablc. eventually to purchase the land surrounding our ~d]ace~t propertIes whIch belongs to the Greek Church though there is no Immediate danger of anyone threatening to build, but the position require watching carefully. The <?rder has suffered the loss of about a quarter of an acre of its land 0w.mg to ~ corner of the Upper Field, or olive yard, having been expropnated, WIthout compensation, for road-widening purposes. This was done by the Municipal Authority acting under powers given them by ,the Amend.ment. Ordinance of 1929, relating to Town-planning. 1. our on~mIttee ~s glad to be able to report continued a sistance, through theIr Hospltallers, from the Commanderies of Canada, ew Zealand, and outhern frica. t.

The Viscountess Elibank, D.ST.] ., who visited Canada and ew Zealand in 1~3?, took. the opportunity of addressing many meetings in both DommlOns, . kmdly arranged for her by enthusiastic members of the ~ommandenes, when she stirred interest in the Hospital by telling of ItS work and its high renown. FroI!l . cotlc:-nd Mr. J.~. tevenson has sent his last, we regret to say, ~ub~cnptIon lIst amountmg to £37 3s. Od. Your Committee is deeply m hIS debt for all he has done for the Hospital.

The Income and Expenditure Account shows that the exccs of Expenditure over Income for the year ended 30th September, 1£)36, wa £ 1,738, compared with £4,052 for the preceding year. This difference i partly due to the receipt of subscriptions from the Commanderies of outhern Africa and Canada and Lady \Vatson's J erusalem Li st arriving too late for inclusion in the accounts for 1935- 6, though the amounts actually remitted are shown on pp. 23 to 26. The olive harvest from the Upper Field amounted to 193 roils which produced 42 rotls of oil (one rotl = 6·31lbs.) valued at £) 8s. In concluding this Report your Committee would express to the Ho pital Staff its special appreciation of their work during a year of xc ptional difficulty, one half of which was overshadowed by the rab trike coupled with a state of unrest which existed during the whole twelve months and is not yet assuaged. To both Surgical and Nursing taff and to all helpers in and about the Hospital the Committee on b half of the Ord r gives the thanks that are due for steady devotion to duty and for cheerful acquiesence in discomfort and danger when maintaining the prestige of the Hospital and of the Order by carrying on for the b n fit of their masters the poor and sick.

P.S.-Since the above Report was 'written your Committee has learned with the greatest satisfaction that Lady Strathearn has been kind enough to undertake the duties of Hon. Treasnrer in Jerusalem in succession to Lady Watson. No more competent successor could have been found for such onerous work. .

The Warden's Report for the year 1936. The year under review was marred by a long period of civil disturbance; the general strike having been maintained throughout the six " 11ot- ea 011 months (23th pril to 12th October). In ordinary circumstance~ , the e are the busiest month in the Out-patient Department. It woulu rve no purpose to comment here on what occurred during that time or ha taken place later. uffice it to say that the momentous deci ion of the Royal ommi sion is awaited with anxiety. 0 possible olution can ati fy all parties; but at least one and all will learn whither Palestine is going. aturally the vent of the year led to a gTeat diminution in the amount of the work accompli hed. There was a great falling off in the number of fellahin treated-e pecially tho e from the di tant villages; and there wa a marked increase in the number of Army and Air Force per onnel. The ummel' \-vork was also complicated by the absence of the \\'arden on home leave; the Registrar was also incapacitated for rno t of the time. The numb r of new patients seen during 1936 was 14,327 and the total con ultations 75,100. The number of patients admitted to Hospital wa 679 and the number of operations performed 2,068. This total includes 509 intra-ocnlar operation, of which 153 were for cataract. There were 8,18 operation for the relief of trichiasis: most of these eyelid operations were done on Out-Pati nts. During all operations local anzesthe. ia i preferred, but for various rea on a general ance thetic was admini tered in 292 case. The average duration of stay in Ho pital was 1"1 days. CIa sifi d according to religion, of the new cases 10,677 were Moslems; 2,970 were hri tian , and 680 were Jews. Of the total consultations, G1,956 were l\Ioslems; 11 ,0 78 were hristians, and 2,06G were Jews. It is of intere. t to note the attendance of Jews in the Out-Patient pepartment. In 1927 they amounted to 20 per cent of the Out-Patients; 111 1935 they formed ju t under 6 per cent of the attendances and in the year under review the J ewish attendance fell to the minimum of 2'7)~e~- cent. This is no~ surprising when one reflects on the ever-increasing faCIlItIes for the medIcal care of the Jewish people now at work in Jerusalem; but also it is a sad reminder of the steady progress of segregatIon between the two races- Arab and Jew-which goes on slowly and relen tlessl y. . The ~ncidence of Trachoma amongst the new patients was 93·4. This IS the hIghest recorded hitherto in the Hospital. In 1935 it was 92 per cent. It was pointed out then that in the more backward village of P alestine practically all the inhabitants beyond the age of infancy have acquired trachoma; in the larger towns it is much less. This increasing incidence JJ

is no doubt the result of the cycle of severe epidemics of acute conju?~ti vitis. In Palestine this is probably the usual method of acqU1nng trachoma. Although trachoma here ranks as one of the lesser cau es 01 blindnes , it is a disease which, if left untreated, may lead to much impairment of vision and economic di ability. Fortunat ly one notes an increasing desire on the part of th~ fellahm to attend for t.r.eatJ?ent, especially for their children. They realIze that the pre ence of ~lllS c~lsease may be a bar to the education and future cmployment of theIr chIldrcn. Of the 14,327 new cases, 1,442 were" blind" in onc eye (10. pe~ ~ent) ; 437 were" blind" in both (3 per cent), and the numbcr of 111clIVIdu<l:l who were" blind" in one or both eyes was 1,879 (13'1 pcr cent). As 111 previous reports, the term" blind" includes not only t~e tot.ally, but also the economically "blind": this latter cat gory. mcludes those whose vision does not come up to the standard of V1 IOn reckon d. a the ability to count fingers at a dist.ance of one metrc. The followmg table shows the incidence of " blindness" since 1919 : -

Owing to the disturbances in Palestine an~ the decreased .numbers attending, the statistics for 1936 are not qUlte comparable WIth those . . of the preceding years. Owing to the general strike there was a marked reductIon 111 the number of fellahin attending from the more distant (and hen~e often more backward) villages: the percentage of local people atten~l11g :vas gr~at~r and this may account in part for the satisfc:ctory reductlOr: m ~he 111Cldence of " blindness". However, as will be pomted out later m thIS report, the epidemic of acute conjunctivitis was comparatively mild, following a winter of more abundant rainfall. To return to a consideration of the cause of the" hlindness " in the 2,316 eyes recorded, the following table is appended : -

Deducting from this list the cases of cataract-which can usually be cured by operation-there remains a total of 1,961 irremediably blind eyes. It will be noted that 1,638 (70'7 per cent) of these eyes were blinded as a rcsult, direct or indirect, of acute conjunctivitis. Under the heading of ccondary Glaucoma" are included only those cases which it is reasonable to believe might have been cured by timely surgical intervention. During the year there were recorded 195 cases of recent injury to the eye. Of the e 47 were occupational or industrial. As a proof of the pugnacity of the Palestinian there were 72 injuries to the eyes by blows (there were four "kicks") sustained during quarrelling. Only nine admitted that their injurie were got through the disturbances, but this is obviou ly an understatement. As a re ult of a welcome break in the cycle of drought, there was a marked reduction in the incidence of the annual epidemic of acute conjunctivitis. This was fortunate for the peasants as, owing to the general strike, extending over the summer months (and the months of the seasonal epidemic) their access to treatment centres was greatly restricted. The total number of case of acute conjunctivitis treated in the OutPatien.t D partment, including the Annexe, was 3,340--compared with 7,780 m 1935-and of these, 600 (17'9 per cent) were complicated with ulceration, as compared with 1,657 (21'2 per cent) in 1935; and 99 (16'5 per cent) went on to perforation of the eye-ball, as compared with 807 (48'7 per cent) in thc very severe epidemic of 1935. In the Annexe Clinic-where infants and young children only are treated-there were 1,144 new cases of acute conjunctivitis (compared with 4,602 cases in 1935): of the new cases of acute conjunctivitis 123 (10'6 per cent) were complicated with ulceration and 24 (19'5 per cent) went on to perforation. Comparing these figures with the statistics for the previous year, one realizes how mild was the epidemic of. 1936; e.l? in 1935 there were 988 cases (21·4 per cent) complicated WIth ulceratIOn and 449 (45 per cent) went on to perforation. In 1935 the total attendances at the Annexe clinic were 24,275; last year there were only 8,380 in this cbildren's section. The majority of these cases are accommodated in the Annexe but feed themselves. However, as many o~ these pati~nts are extremely poor, there are always a number ?f genumely necessItous cases and frequently children are left stranded m the Annexe-although someone invariably turns up later to claim them . lC

REPORT

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

The number of free meals given was 36 (in the previous year there were 288). In the fain Out-Patient Department nearly one thou and patients were tested for glasses and 728 prescriptions were given: the remainder -owing to the presence of irregular a tigmatism or other conditionsshowed insufficient visual improvement to warrant a prescription. Amongst the cases examined were Army and Air Force personnel (120 and 44 respectively) ; Transjordan Frontier Force, 20; British (including officials), 142. There were 287 Palestinian Government officials and employees; 28 British Police, and 107 Monks and Nuns (European). In the X-ray Department thirty photographs were taken: of these eight were with the Potter-Bucky apparatus for the elucidation of sinus disease, new growths, etc. The Sweet's apparatus was used for the localization of foreign bodies (intra-ocular) in twenty-tvvo case. Of the e foreign bodies only two were ferrous and these were succe fully removed by the Giant Magnet. In the work of this depart.ment we arc again much indebted to the skilled help of Dr. \V. E. Thompson, the Honorary Radiologist. The plaques of radium w ~re used as much a_ time permitted; the cases treated included malignant disease of the eye-lids, va.rioll · olh r tumours and a number of cases of pring catarrh. Mo t of the e were benefited and in some an apparent cure was record ed, but the lap. e of some years is essential before one can be sure of the non-recurrence of these growths. Owing to the unsettled state of the country and the shorta.ge of taff, the Ophthalmic clinics of the Department of Health were not vi ited ; but from their returns it is seen that the ophthalmia pid mic throughout Palestine was very mild. One Government Medical Officer (Dr. F. Abla) attended the Ho pital for a first course in clinical ophthalmology; and three Government nurses-Edibeh Khouri, Laurence Mitri, and Naifeh Najjar-attended for a First Course of four months' training in Ophthalmic nur ing. Two Government medical officers-Dr. S. Bisharra and Dr. K. Iikhailreturned for a " Refresher" Course; as did also two Government nur e -Marie Karam and Zoe Deda. The Ladies' Linen Guild of the Order has continued to fulfil all our requirements. It is with deep regret that we have to record the passing of Lady Watson on the last day and almost on the last hour of the year under review. The accident which ultimately led to her death was sustained whilst on her way to the Hospital for her weekly supervision of the linen room. Those who knew her best miss her mo t. The latter years of her life devoted as they were to a self-imposed ta k and carried through with an almost incredible tenacity will remain for them as an imperishable memory. Lastly, my best thanks are due to all the Staff and especially to the Sub-Warden (Dr. Wren) for their maintenance of the traditions of the Hospital during a year of exceptional strain.

Report

COnlI11ittee for

1936.

The year H)36 has been an eventful one in many ways, some of which have touched the Ladies' Linen Guild. On the lamented death of his late Majesty King George V a letter of re pectful condolence wa ent from the Committee to their President, Her 1aje ty Queen 1ary, from whom a gracious reply was received. Your Committee was naturally plea ed at the honour conferred by our overeign Head, on the Warden, ir John Strathearn, and congratulate Lady trathearn, to whom they owe many thanks for her kind supcrvi ion and all thc work she does for the Linen Guild in Jerusal m. \f\'e have to rcport with regret the resignation from the Committee of Lady Huntcr-\Ve ton, owing to her leaving London. To take her place the name of Viscountess Elibank was submitted to H.l\I. Queen Mary, who has been graciously pleased to approve. Your Committee deeply regrets the death of Lady \ ¥atson who for so many years took charge of the Linen Room in the Hospital. ince 1916 Lady \¥atson never failed to give one day in the week to her work in the Linen Room, in addition to organizing working partics for the Hospital in Jerusalem. vVe much hope that Lady Strathearn will take her place, and carryon this good work. As before we continue to get help from Canada, and l\liss Attrill has sent direct to the Hospital a gift of books for the Staff.

\Ne are receiving help from some of the Brigade Nursing Divisions and Nursing Cadets. These latter have undertaken to make some children's garments to be sent to the Hospital for the use of the little children accompanying their parents, who come a patient of the Hospi tal and are very poor. Six more bedside lockers were asked for and are being supplied out of the funds. Surplus money is being placed on deposit. H.M. Queen Mary has again sent four more Cot Covers made by her Majesty's ov,rn hands. These are much treasured. We now have twelve of these in the Hospital, in constant use. Among other numerous gifts may be mentioned the Corridor Cape, so kindly given by usannah, Duche of Grafton. These capes supply a great need and are most highly appreciated and a great boon to the isters whose work takes them across the open courts of the Ho pital. One is apt to forget that Jerusalem is over 2,000 feet above sea-level, and is bitterly cold in the winter months. Viscountess Hereford has sent 26 plendid Blanket and the Marchione s of ormanby, 12 Pillows. Boxes of Eye hades ha eben sent by the Cadets from York City, also by the t. Patrick ur ing Di ision, and 7 dozen from 1iss L. Overend, 0~ dozen from Ii Mooring ldriri.ge, 5 dozen from Miss L. Godes, and 30 knitted Eye Bandage from Ir. . H. Vasey. Two dozen Pillow Cases and 1 pair fine heets were sent by the late Mrs. Melville \Vills. Lady Plender has sent 1 dozen Pillow Ca e, heet, Du ters, pron, , Bath Towels, and a Tahle Cloth, irs. Thorne, Table apkin and 72 yards of Cretonne; Miss Evelegh, a Bedspread, 5 Pillow a e , 2 Table Cloths, and Tapes; Mrs. Upton-Prior, 12 Pillow Cases, 12 Dusters, and 12 Huck Towels; Miss Le Cocq, 7 grey hawl ; 1\1r.. Hickman forgan, 20 pairs of Sheets; Lady Margaret MacRae, 6 "J1attre. . over, and 2 pairs Cot Sheets; Viscountess Elibank, 2"1 Huck Tow Is; Lady Hunter Weston, 4 pairs Cot Sheets; Miss \Ve t, o. 26 Divi ion, 3 pairs Bed Stockings, and 1 Shawl and the Littlehampton adets, Operation Stockings. Mr. Guy R epton has again sent us £5 for the purchase of any requirements, and we have supplied from our funds : 240 yards Unbleached Calico. 2 dozen Badges for Sisters' Caps. 1 Roll Striped Twill for Men's Coats. 1 Roll Red Striped Twill. 1 Roll Black and Grey Striped Twill. 1 Roll Striped Twill for Men's Aprons. 2 Rolls White Calico. 9 Surgeon's Overalls and 8 Flags. In conclusion your Committee would thank all those who e support makes the work of the Linen Guild so beneficial to the unending stream of patients who throng our Hospital in the Holy Land.
