The Chapter-General has to announce, with the deepest regret, the resignation on account of ill health of H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, K.G., K.T., K.P., G.M.B., P.C., etc., from his office of Grand Prior. His Royal Highness joined the Order as a Knight of Justice in 1881, becoming Honorary Bailiff in 1888 and Bailiff of Egle in 1894. In 1910 he was appointed Grand Prior by His Majesty King George V. On hearing of His Royal Highness's decision, ChapterGeneral unanimously passed the following resolution at their meeting on 17th February, 1939 :" Chapter-General, having received a message from the Grand Prior that His Royal Highness feels obliged, owing to ill health, to resign from his Office as Grand Prior of the Order in the British Realm, desire to place on record their high appreciation of his devoted services over a period of 29 years, during which, under his watchful guidance and inspiration, a remarkable expansion has taken place in the Order's work for humanity; and to express on behalf of the Order and its establishments and foundations, at Home and throughout the Empire, their profound regret that circumstances have necessitated this step."

His Majesty The Sovereign Head of the Order has been graciously pleased to appoint H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester, K.G., K.T., G.C.M.G., G.C .V.O., P.C., etc., Bailiff Grand Cross, as the successor to H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught.

The Annual Festival of the Order was held on the 24th June, in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell.. . Holy Communion was celebrated In the Chapel of St. J ohn. the Almoner, in the ancient.crypt, by the R ev. Prebendary L. J. PerCIval, K.c .v.o., the Precentor of the Order, at 8.30 a.m. The annual Commemoration Service was held at 2.30 p.m., members of Chapter-General, headed by the hoir of His lajesty's Chapels Royal and the Clergy, walking in proces ion from the Chancery of t. John's Gate to the Church. The ervice was conducted by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival, and the sermon was preached by the Right Rev. The Bishop of Lincoln, a ub-Prelate of the Order. . During the service the Earl of Clarendon was Installed as Chancellor of the Order, in succes ion to Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-\Veston, who had re igned from that office. The Annual General As embly of 1embers and A sociates of the Order was held after the service in the Chapter Hall at t. John's Gate, the Earl of carbrough, the ub-Prior, presiding. The Sub-Prior said : " Before commencing the business of the General As embly I ask you to approve the passing of a sincere vote of condolence with Her Majesty The Queen in the great loss she has sustained in the loss of her mother, the late Countess of trathmore and Kinghorne, a Dame of the Order, and also with her father the Earl of trathmore." The vote was carried unanimously, the members upstanding. The Sub-Prior continued : ({ I regret to have to report that much to his disappointment His Royal Highness our Grand Prior i unable to be present with us to-day, as although in fairly good health, his doctor begs hin1 not to take part in any functions calculated to be of an exhausting nature. We also greatly miss in his customary official capacity Sir Aylmer Hunter-\Veston . Early this year he felt obliged to relinqui h the office of Chancellor owing to having ceased to be a Member of Parliament and consequently spending the greater part of the year at his home in Scotland. He has held office since 1924, greatly to the advantage of the Order, in the interests of which no member could have given more loyal and devoted service, interests which, moreover, his presence with us to-day indicates will in no way be diminished in future. " In his place the Grand Prior has appointed the Earl of Clarendon to succeed him, with the approval of His 1ajesty, and, as you will have observed, he was duly installed in our Church this afternoon. V"le heartily welcome him as one well versed in the administration of the Order,

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GEl ERAL

especially as Commander of our Commandery in oulhern Africa when he was Governor-General there. 'vVe trust he may be able to effectively combine the duties with those of the High Office of tate to which he has recently been appointed. I will now call on the Executive Officers t.o report to you on t.he year's work beginning with the ecretary-Genera1." Major-General ir Percival \Vilkin on, ecretary-General and Director of the Ambulance Department, Colonel J. T. \Voolrych Perowne, Hospitaller, Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, Major- neral ir John Duncan, Chief Commis ioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade at. Hom , and Colonel J. L. leeman, hief omm]' ioner t. John Ambulan Brigade Overseas, gave accounts of the work of their r pect.ive departments during the past year. The Sub-Prior said : " Confreres, I am ure you will recognize from the tat. ment 'ou have just listened to and from the 1937 report of bapter- n r<ll about to be issued that the year under review ha been of p cial inl r t, recording as it does the Jubilee Celebrations of the rigade, the crowning vent of which were the wonderful support given by their Majest i during the many engrossing preoccupations of the oronation pel iod , including an Investiture by the King at Buckingham Palace, and a r vi w of the Brigade by the Queen in Hyde Parle All will, I think, agree that the reports j II t gi \' n by i 11 E.' cu t iv Officers are most heartening and repre ent all-rounel progr . in our work. 'vVe congratulate the ecretary-General on hi good r covenT from the illness that laid him low last autumn, and imilar congratulat.ion ar due to our Librarian, who was very unvvell la t wint r, an 1 who i' 011 again with us to-day, al 0 to Captain Calm ac, our 'h i f mbulance Secretary, who has made a good recO\"ery from a rec nt eriou illne . Our Hospitaller, as he has graphically told us, ha lal I . returned from one of his flying visits to Palestine, and i to be congratulated on having largely cleared up difficulties which were holding up an early tart on the expansion of our Hospital in Jerusalem. Our Chief Commis ioner of the Brigade at Home concluded hi tatcment by saying it was a year when great demands were made on th ir services, and I may add on his own too, for to-day he controls voluntarily and most efficiently a body of close on 85,000 members- practically ?ouble that of the strength of the Brigade a few years ago. They had mdeed an arduous year, including the public duties rendered at the Coronation, which were admirably organized by Captain Goodley, ommissioner of the London District, whose name we are delighted to note was included in the recent Birthday Honours. " Our Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas has spoken of hi recent very interesting tour in East Africa. He is a remarkable ambassador for the Order, and I think I might add, indirectly for the Empire as wel1. I would just like to read you an extract from a letter which I received from Lord Baden-Powell a few days ago : " t I have lately come back from Africa, and have also toured fairly extensively round about the Empire in the last few years, and as a member of the Order of St . John I would like just to let you know what

PROMOTIONS , ADMISSIONS, ETC.

a lot of good is being done for Ambulance work by the tours that have been made by your Overseas Commissioner, Sleeman. " I have come upon the effects of his work in many places far afield, and I should like you to know that he certainly does pull his weight and give extraordinary fine energetic service to the cause.' " " We could not have better testimony of the value of his work overseas. He had the good fortune of being assisted last winter by one of our members, Mrs. Copland-Griffiths, who on her own initiative volunteered to visit ingapore and Burmah in place of our Lady Superintendent-inChief, whose health prevented her undertaking the journey. \Ve are grateful to Mrs. Copland-Griffiths for her fine example of personal service on behalf of our Order. To sum up, I trust and I feel that this Assembly will agree with me that we have good reason to congratulate our Executive Officers and their efficient and most capable staffs on the year's work. " There is one more matter connected with admini tration and finance I should like to refer to. "The Centenary Appeal Fund you may remember was started in 1931 for the purpose of extending our offices at the Gate. By its means we have already acquired the remainder of the leases on our freehold sites which we intend to use for the purpose on the opposite side of the road. vVe shall therefore be in a position shortly to commence buildingplans have been prepared, and you can get a rough idea of the effect on the part fronting t. John's Square by the photograph of the proposed elevation there which will replace the present rather squalid building. " Now what was greatly needed in 1931 has been much intensified since by the recent rapid growth of our work, and to-day we are terribly congested, and only carryon under considerable discomfort. " At the m~ment, however, after defraying the cost of buying out leases we have m hand only some £19,000, and we cannot vi ualize starting on the work until we can be sure of another £10,000 at least. Member have been very generous in their contributions, but seeing that the Order ~akes no appeal t~ the public I venture to suggest that if they can mfluence c:ny of theIr friends to help in this much-needed work ChapterGenera~ will be m.ost grateful, and personally I very much hope to live to see It accomplIshed. ." And now, on behalf of all present, I beg to offer to the Bishop of Lm~oln, Sub-Prelate of our Order, our very sincere thanks for undertakmg to address us to-day, and to our Precentor, Prebendary Percival, for the trouble he has taken in the arranaements he has made for our Services." b

LIFE-SAVING AWARDS. Awards for gallantry in saving or attempting to save life have been ma~e by t~e Chapter-General to the following persons who endangered theIr own lIves on behalf of their fellows :_

AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVI l G MEDAL I

Alexander Robert Gall, A sistant

BRO ZE.

choolmaster, Liverpool.

On the 24th March Mr. Gall was doing physical exercises in the playground with a class of some fifty boys when a chimpanzee escaped from the neighbouring zoo and attacked the class. Two boys were severely bitten and clawed, whereupon Mr. Gall closed with the animal, shouting to the cla s to run for safety inside the school. This they all succeeded in doing, while the animal dragged ~lr. Gall about the playground, biting and clawing him, and rendering him unconscious. Eventually the animal left him and he was removed indoors and a do tor sent for. The doctor found he had been severely bitten on the left side of the neck, and on the left knee and thigh. He spent an hour stitching up the wounds, after which :\Ir. Gall was removed to his home. His injuries necessitated two visits per diem from the doctor for a fortnight. . . A curious coincidence is that lr. Gall had a previous struggle with this partlCular animal, who escaped about a year ago, so that he knew the strength and ferocity of the creature, which could not be recaptureu and eventually had to be shoL AWARDED A CERTIFICATE OF HONO R.

Henry Robertson Smith, Ambulance Attendant, New ouill \Yale '. H. R. Smith, mine ambulance man, was summoned to an old ulsusecl mine where Richard Williams lay on a ledge on the 150 ft. level, 500 feet from the bottom of the mine, with a broken leg. Smith was lowered in a bosun's chair and tied hun up and got him to the surface. Richard 'Yilliams says that Smith definitely risked his life, basmg this statemcnt on the following facts : That putting on the splint and tying him on to the chair was a difJiClllt job in the confined place. That all the woodwork at the 150 ft. level was roHen and dangerous. That a fall would have meant a sheer drop of 500 feet. That the timber at the mouth of the mine was also rotten and thcre might well have been a fall. That there was no method of signalling and that ' l11ith might have been lowered past the 150 ft. level into foul air. AWARDED A CE RTIFI CATE OF HONoeR.

Pte. H. Millard, Newport High Ambulance Brigade.

trect Railway Di\"i ion,

t. John

On the 14th July, 1937, on the occasion of the visit of Their Majesties the I(ing and Queen to Iewport, Pte. H. Millard, with other members of the ' 1. J ohn Ambulance Brigade, was on duty at the junction of Cardiff Road and ommercial Street, Newport. As a motor car was swiftly approaching the junction a small boy ran out in front of it. The driver immediately slowed down, but was so close to the child that an accident seemed unavoidable. Pte. Millard dashed across the front of the car, snatching up the child as he did so. The witnesses state that if it had not been for Pte. Millard's quick and levelheaded action the child would have lost his life, and that Pte. Millard undoubtedly risked his own life in saving the child. SERVICE

The followin o- i extracted from the nnual Rep rt of the Committee : THE Ho pitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital ha,·e the honour to submit their Forty- eventh Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and it s u bscri bers. The photographs of His l\1aje ty The I ing and Her ?-Ilaj ty The Queen which Their :M ajestie graciously con ented to ign with thei r autographs were duly despatched to Jerusalem early in the ear, an d were unveiled by His Excellency The High ommi ioner, ir Harold lacMichael, at a ceremony held in the Hospital on 11th pril, 1038. The portraits, which are excellent liken esse of Their i\1aje tic, arc hung in the same hall as those of Queen ictoria, Edward VII and Que n Alexandra, King George V and Queen lIfary, and H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, Grand Prior. All these portrait of the Ro al Family aUract the special interest of visitors and of the thousands of patient who pa 5 through the hall. The Committee met regularly, as usual, once a quarter. It ha uffercd a severe loss through the death, at the end of December, of l\Ir. II. E. Garl , to whose family it extends its deepest sympathy. It also wishes to record its deep sympathy with ir Edward KnappFisher on his prolonged illness, together with it sincere congratulations on the honour (c.v.o.) conferred upon him by His l\1ajesty The King in the New Year. It also records with keen satisfaction the award to olonel . Monckton Copeman, T.D., F.R.S., etc., of the Gold Medal for 1937 by th e I~ternational Faculty of Sciences for his noteworthy contributions t o SCIence. Dr. K . M. Budeiri, the Registrar, was unfortunate enough to incur a serious illness which precluded him from duty for several month. During his absence your Committee approved the temporary appointment of Dr. Hamadeh. Dr. Budeiri was sufficiently recovered by the autumn to resume duty. Miss Simpson, Secretary to the Hospital, resigned in January, and her place has not yet been filled . Mr. C. F. Wolfe, of the Government Treasury in Jerusalem, has voluntarily rendered most valuable service to the Hospital by assisting the Warden in the administration of the accounts and in other ways. Your

Committee gladly records its appreciation of Mr. Wolfe's services in this regard. . . Your Committee learnt With deep regret of the tragIC death of Sister G. 1. R. Starke, who was drowned while sailing on the ea of Galilee on 28th February, 1938. Her body was brought to Jeru alem, where she was buried, in the pre ence of the \Varden and many friends, in the Protestant Cemetery. As a Nursing iter 1\liss tarke had rendered mo t valuable service to the Hospital ince her appointment in 1935, and her loss ha been greatly felt. Your ommittee has extended to her family in ew Zealand and to the \Varden and Staff of the Hospital its deep sympathy at her early and tragic death, and in the loss thus sustained by all who knew her. Miss tarke's place has since been taken by Miss L D. Millman, a wellqualified Nur ing ister, who has had several years' experience at Moorfields. Miss 1illman took up her duties on 17th March. The Tablet to Commemorate the visit to the Hospital in 1928 of H.R.H. The Princess Royal, which was completed in Malta under the personal supervision of the hevalier cicluna, M.B.E., K.ST.J., has been temporarily retained in 1\Ialta. Conditions in Palestine were unfortunately not sufficiently propitiou for its despatch to Jerusalem before the end of the year. A smaller tablet recording the fact that Lady Strickland, D.B.E., D.ST.J., was the donor of the tablet, has also been executed in Malta. The two tablets will be forwarded in due cour e to Jerusalem, and will be placed in a suitable position in the Ho pita!. Another tablet ha been approved by hapter-General also for execution with a view to it being placed in the Ho pita!. This is to commemorate the visit of His Grace the pre ent Archbi hop of Canterbury to Palestine il: 1931, the first vi .it of an ~rchbishop of anterbury to the Holy Land smce that of BaldWIn, who dIed at the iege of Acre in 1190. Hi Grace has agreed to the design and the wording of the tablet, which it is hoped may :te. completed and de patched to Jerusalem early in the New Year. It 1 . mtended tha~ the Arms both of Hi Grace the Archbishop and of Baldwm, together WIth the Arms of the Order, will appear on the tablet of which the inscription will be as follows : ' THIS TABLET I PLACED BY THE CHAPTER-GENERAL OF THE VENERABLE ORDER OF THE HOSPITAL OF ST.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE EH.AL

As has now become customary, a celebration of the Holy Omml11110n was held in t.he subterranean Church of Mar Hanna ( t. John) Prodromos in the Muristan on St. John' ay. Archdeacon tewart was the Celebrant and there was a full attendance of member of the Order and their friends. Thanks are due to the Acting Orthodox Patriarch for his permis ion to u e this Church for the Order's Annual ervice. Although, as stated in last year's Report, the appeal for fund for the new block for paying patient, sanctioned by H.R.H. The Grand Prior, was closed at the end of 1937, further contribution ha\'e ince been received, and the total collected up to 31 t Dec mb r, 1 '38, is £10,886 15s. 5d. To this may be added a further um of £2,000, arri cl forward from a previous appeal, a promi e of £500 toward equipmen t of wards from the Ladies Linen Guild and two special donations amoun ting to £185-making a total of about £13,500. Owing to pressure of official bu ines, t.he Honorary Architect in Jerusalem, Mr. Percy Winter, O.ST.J., was reluctantly compelled t o discontinue his work in connection with the plans for the new building. After consultation with the \Varden and lr. Keith Roach, C.B.E., K.ST.J. , the District Commissioner for Jerusalem, your ommittee appointed Mr. Benjamin Chaikin, F.R.I.B.A., as the architect for this project . Mr. Chaikin has produced plans which, after careful crutin by th e Building Sub-Committee, have been approved with certain modification by the Hospital Committee. These plan provide accommodation for paying patients, quarters for re ident Hou e urgeon and nUL e , and a physio-therapy Department. There will also be provided a boiler hou e, and storage and laundry rooms. These latter have for long been urgentl ' required, and the present occasion afforded an opportunity of pro\·iding them at a much lower figure than if they had been built independently. The estimated cost of the new block is £13,500. Thi i higher than wa originally anticipated, the reason for the increa e being mainly due to the change of site. The site finally selected, which adjoin the main Hospital building on the south side, is undoubtedly better than either of the two alternative sites considered previously, but the steep slope on which the new block is to stand involves heavier expenditure in foundations and in other respects. Moreover the estimate of £13,500 is for building alone, with certain accessories, and doe not include Architect's and Quantity Surveyor's fees or the salary of a Clerk of the \Vork , nor does it allow for any equipment or furniture. It is calculated that the total cost, including these items, will not fall short of £22,000, so that a further sum of £8,500 is required if the new block is to be completed as planned, and adequately equipped. Your Committee has given very serious consideration to this matter, and has come to the conclusion that to lower the cost by reducing the accommodation would be most undesirable and in the end uneconomical. Some reduction of cost could be made by omitting, temporarily or permanently, certain parts of the plans; but not more than £3,000 could thus be saved, and the omissions in question would seriously affect the efficiency of the Hospital as a whole. If added later on, as undoubtedly will have to be the case, the eventual outlay will be considerably greater than the saving now made by their omission. Your Committee is therefore of opinion that, however difficult it may be to raise the balance of

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM Cant.

£8,500, it would not be. justified in beginning work un~il the whole sum is collected or promIsed. The Government of Palestme, to whom an appeal for assistance has been made, is prepared to give the matter sympathetic consideration, but up to the end of the year no assurance of a grant had been received. Indeed, it is very doubtful if the Palestine Government will be in a position, owing to the present financial stringency, to approve any substantial grant in the coming fiscal year. Nevertheless your Committee is confident that the money will be raised in due course, and that those who have supported the Hospital so generously in the past will agree that the object in view is worthy of a supreme effort on the part of all concerned. But in any case the building could hardly be begun until political conditions, which have affected Palestine so adversely in recent years, and especially in 1938, improve considerably. It is clear, therefore, that until your Committee can be assured of the deficit being covered and of the situation in Palestine showing definite signs of improvement, the projected building cannot be begun. While reaching this deci ion with the greatest regret, the Committee believes that those who read this Report will agree with the view expressed, and that to begin building, either before the total amount is assured or before there is a prospect of peace in the Holy Land, would be to court disaster. !he J:Iospi~aller paid a short but very full vi it to Jerusalem in April. HIS mam obJect was to confer on the spot with the Warden and the Architect regarding the plans of the new block. The ~onferences, at which Lord Lytto~, who happened to be in Palestine at the same time, was able to lend h1s valuable as istance, resulted in plans being amended and despatched to London, which with minor adjustments have been approved by the Committee. \.\1hile in Jerusalem the Hospi taller visited VI a tson House and Strathearn J:!0use, to which reference is made in a later paragraph, and found both m excellent order. The disturbed condition of the country unfortunately precluded him from visiting, in the company of the Warden the Ophthalmic Clinics maintained by the Government Department of Health and sta~ed .by nurses trained at the Hospital. On 11th Apnl H1s Excellency The High Commissioner invested four Officer Members of the Order. The gentlemen invested were: Captain R. Murray, .the Black Watch; Lt. The Hon. C. H. T. Cumming Bruce, Seaforth HIghlanders; Mr. C. N. Johns, Department of Antiquities' Dr. ]. W. ~. Harkness, O:B.E., Department of Health. The ceremony took place m the Out-PatIent Hall of the Hospital in the presence of about 150 la~ies and gentlemen, many of them Members of the Order. In the unavOldable absence of the Bishop in Jerusalem, a Sub-Prelate of the Order, Arch~eacon Stewart acted as Chaplain. After the InvestIture. the Hos.pitall~r i~vited His Excellency to unveil the autogr~phed portraIts of The1r MaJestIes, and an autographed portrait of ~er MaJesty, Queen Mary, the latter presented by the Ladies' Linen GUIld. His Excellency then pro.ceeded to tl~e Annexe where he was invited by the Earl of Ly~ton to unve11 the two sh1elds of Field-Marshal The Viscount Allenby and FIeld-Marshal The Viscount Plumer, both Knights of Justice of the Order.

REPORT OF THE

HAPTER- TE ERAL

The Warden and Lady Strathearn then entertained the company to tea in the Annexe. The contemplated exchange of one plot of land for another adjacent to the Hospital was carried out during the ummer, tl:anks largely ~o t.he interest and a si tance rendered by 1r. KeIth-Roach, Dlstnct ommi sioner of Jeru alem, and his principal Arab As istant, Nessuhi Bey Beydoun. In this connection your ommittee wi hes ~o place on record its keen appreciation of the support 0 con i tently gIven to the Hospital and to all that pertains to the Order, both in Pale tine and in England, by Mr. Keith-Roach. It wi he at the same time to convey to him its congratulations on hi e cape from injury on the three separate occa ions on which attempts have recently been made on his life. In view of the di turbance and the con equent dang r to lif and limb, an in urance policy has been taken out on a three month' basis, renewable as desired, on behalf of all member of the Ho pital taff. The in urance of the building again t fire, which had been cover d for many years, and which i now not con idered nece ary, ha been discontinued. The furniture and equipm nt of the Ho pital remain full y insured, but the risk of damage by fire to the building, which are entir ly of stone or concrete, is thought to be negligible. The sum of £200 was received from the High ommi . ion r b t he \Varden, being part of the Haim Marco Bes 0 beque t " for the b ne fit and assistance of the poor in Palestine". The mone wa utilized In extending ophthalmic work among the poor during the ea onal epidemic of acute conjunctivitis by the employment of an additional doctor and subordinate staff, and in the ext en ion of the provi ion of fr c meal to those out-patients whose nutrition wa 0 Iowa to pr judice r cm·er). Your Committee would again express it thank to th vcr a Commanderies of the Order for their valued recoa-nition of the work done in the Holy Land so intimately connected \\Tith the foundation of the Order of the Ho pital of t. John of ]eru al m. From ~ \\' Zealand the Hospitaller, 1\1r. C. J. Tunk, M.B.E., het. tran mitt d £52 15s. lld. He reports: "In Auckland we had a mu ter (on t. John Day) of 443 of the Brigade- the largest we have had." The ommandery in Southern Africa, through 1r. T. H. Wat rmayer, the Hospitaller, has contributed £74 3s.-a pronounced increase compared with 1937, which is to be attributed to the interest in the work the Hospital i doing, now that it has become better known. The ommandery of anada, whose contribution arrived too late to appear in the accounts for the current financial year, has transmitted through the Hospitaller, Lieut.- oloncI Raymond M. Gorssline, D.S.O., ~. 510.14, or the equivalent in sterling £109 9s. 8d. The Deputy Ho pitaller in Queensland, Captain E. R. G. Pike, has collected £5--the first official remission from Au tralia in support of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Jerusalem. Lady trathearn, our Honorary Treasurer in Jerusalem, is responsble for an increased ubscription list, totalling £253 8s. 5d. She is again to be heartily congratulated on her most successful eHorts to stimulate financial support to combat Ophthalmia in Palestine. Since the last Report the following have been appointed as Deputy Hospitallers in Australia :-

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM. Cant.

Victoria: C. L. Brind, C.ST.]. S. Tasmania: C. L. Colvin, O.ST.]. N. Tasmania: Mrs. K. M. Robson, S.S.ST.]. The only State to which a Deputy Hospitaller is still to be appointed is New South Wales. The comparative Table of Hospital Statistics shows very clearly how the work of the Ho pital has been curtailed owing to the unsettled state of the country. The Ladies Linen Guild i unflagging in its efforts to find the Hospital in every kind of domestic equipment and 0 save your Committee from a heavy financial burden which otherwise it would have to carry. At the end of the year under review, the Hospitaller received a letter from the Honorary Secretary of the Guild, promi ing the sum of £500 towards furnishing the wards of the Paying Patients Block. This munificent gift, which signalizes in a very special way the support so consistently offered by the Ladies Linen Guild over a long period of years, is keenly appreciated by your Committee, and has been most gratefully accepted. In addition to many and variou routine supplies the Hospital has received this year, through the affiliated Ladies Linen Guild of Canada, six white metal bed-side lockers to match those already given previously, which are such a fe2.ture in our wards. Your ommittee is ever ready to acknowledge its gratitude to the help it receives from the Ladies Linen Guild, and now an extra tribute is due to its anadian subsidiary. The thanks of your ommittee are also due to the following for their gifts received during the year under review :- to the Acting Lady Di trict uperintendent of the Natal Di trict, for forwarding a box of various Ho pital and domestic requirements collected by the Durban Nursing and Cadet Nursing Divisions (European and non-European)-to Colonel C.

From the above it will be seen that the total number of m mb r of the Brigade, including Cadets, is 89,7 J5. From reports I have received from ommi ioner., I find that ther has been an increase in the work of the Brigade in ever dir clion, but particularly in connection with A.R.P. I am glad to be able to r port that all members of the Brigade have met the e increa ed demand on their services with loyalty and energy. WORK OF THE BRIGADE FOR 193 . Cases of accident and sudden illness, 752,748; an increase of 63,923 compared 'with last year's figures. Brigade operated motor ambulances carried 149,905 ca es 1,414,059 miles (increases, 26,546 and 2,522 respectively). Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and Welfare Centres by Officers and members of Nursing Divisions in 1938 were 37,93G, an increase of 4,429 compared with 1937. First Aid work on the highways continues to be efficiently carried out, and there are now 1,742 Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts established on main roads, an increase of 358 over those for 1937. 21,955 road accidents received treatment (increase, 2,639), and the injured were transported 99,049 miles (decrease, 90,664 miles). A. great deal of most excellent work is being carried out by members who attend and undertake duty at Beach Huts during the summer months. Twenty-six of these Huts have been erected and are manned by the Brigade. The Medical Comforts Depots are a boon to all needy as is proved by

Cant.

the large number of sick room requisites dealt with during the year by the ninety-four Medical Comforts Depots established by tbe Brigade. I must thank all ranks for the loyal manner in which they met all calls during the crisis in September. For the casualty services the Brigade was by far the most valuable body of First Aid personnel in the country. Public Authorities throughout the country had commenced training volunteers in First Aid, but in few cases were they fully trained, and therefore the Authorities had largely to depend on our trained personnel. Demands were made by the Public Authorities on the Brigade as to what personnel it could provide for the Casualty Services. In thi connection, the following letter was received from Sir Samuel Hoare, Home ecretary:"Dear ir John Duncan, " I should like to express to you my deep appreciation of the help that the t. John Ambulance Association gave us during the recent difficult weeks. (( By putting your organization and your personnel so freely at the di po a1 of the Home Office and of the local authorities, you gave us a reas urance that if the need had arisen, a First Aid system would have been brought wiftly into existence. Yours truly, (Sgd.) AMUEL HOARE." After the crisi a further demand was made on the services of the Brigade, to provide an Ambulance Unit to accompany the British Legion to zecho lavakia. The Detachment had to be ready at two days' notice, and a time was hort it was decided to call for volunteers from I o. 1 Di trict .• large number answered the call, and from these a Detachment of thirty men was selected and placed under the command of Assistant ommis ioner aptain A. C. \\Thite Knox, M.C., whilst two other Surgeons of the Brigade accompanied the etachment, which assembled at Olympia. The Detachment was completely fitted out by the tores Department at t. J obn's Gate. The Brigade was also approached to supply a Detachment of Nursing personnel to follow the Ambulance Detachment had the British Legion proceeded; this Detachment had been selected and was ready to proceed when the British Legion contingent was sent back and dispersed to their home. NATIONAL SERVICE. The t. John Ambulance Brigade has been recognized by His Iaje ty' Government as a part of the National Service cherne, and reference i made to the Brigade in the Government list issued in connection with Fir t Aid casualties services. Thou ands of applications for enrolment for National Service have been received and dealt with. RESERVES. Royal Naval A ~txiliary Sick Be1;th Reserve. This. Reserv.e. ha~ been kept at full strength with a long waiting list. A partIal mobIlIzatIOn was ordered when the Navy was mobilized during the September crisis.

In his Annual Report to the Diredor-General of the Na\7, the Inspecting Medical Officer states : (1) Re Inspections: "The re ervi ts were mart and well di ciplinec1, and their drill, first aid, and team-work were exccllent." (2) Re Mobilization during cri i: "On 28th eptember, calling-up notices were issued to 739 reservi t , and of these 705 actually arrivcd at their destination , the remainder having been stopped n route or by the general announcement that no further reservists were to join. My Inspections followed closely upon the recent crisi whcn many had mobilized for the first time, and some again after twenty year. I was struck with the cheerful spirit with which they had all gone through, and their admiration of the organization for dealing with such a va, t reserve. I had no complaint and the general impre ion carried awa was one of keennes, loyalty, and co-operation. I consider thc R.N.A.S.B .R. to be an efficient, patriotic, enthu ia tic unit, and that wc are greatly indebted to the hief ommi ioner and all Offi cr of thc Brigade for their unceasing co-operation and energy which wa' c p ciall marked during the recent emergency."

S 092 Grade II Instructors' Certificates, 37,196 Rank and File A.R.P. 'ertificates, 38,520 General Public Certificates, total, 86,072. This large reserve of anti-gas instructors and train cd personnel is a most valuablc as ct to the country. That such excellent results have been obtained i largely due to the energy of Dr. W. C. Bentall, my anti-gas Staff Officer, and those who have worked under him. In addition, the following number of Brigade members have attended a Government chool and obtained an Instructors' Certificate:-

I am extremely thankful to my Headquarter and to the Commissioners and their staffs for having so loyally and energetically carried out all demands made upon them in connection with First Aid and Anti-Gas training. My reference to A.R.P. would be very incomplete without again recording the wonderful help rendered by ir. and Mrs. john Maxwell and Mr. joe Grossman. Two new A.R.P. films were made and presented during the year, and these films have been shown in cinemas alJ over the country, thus rendering a volume of help not only to the Brigade but to the nation by appealing for A.R.P. volunteers. Up to the 31st December, 1938, the Brigade had issued 142 Local Anti-Gas Instructors' Certificates, 5,122 Grade I Instructors' Certificates,

HEADQUARTERS BUILDINGS. During the year a considerable number of buildings for Headquarters have been secured. The lack of headquarters is a pressing need and one of our greatest difficulties, for it is most disrouraging to a unit to be unsuitably housed. I wish to thank those who by their enterprise and per istence in collecting funds have been able to secure suitable headquarter for their units. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT. I wish to ex pres my appreciation for the increased support which our unit are receiving from the Municipal Authorities. It is a great encouragement t.o our work to receive this acknowledgment of our work for the public. In conn ction wit.h our work on A.R.P., our enior Officers have been brought. much in contact with 1edical Officers of Health. I am glad to report t.hat our relations with the e officials have generally been excellent.

It is with great pleasure that I have to report the completion in April, 1938, of a most successful tour of eylon, Malaya, and Burma by The Hon. Mrs. Copland-Griffiths, C.ST.J. Some indication of the remarkably fine effort made by Mrs. CoplandGriffiths on this tour is afforded by the following list of the places vi ited : Singapore, Malacca, Tampin, Seremban, Kuala Lumpur, ungei, iput, Penang (in Malaya), Rangoon, Mandalay, Moulmein, Bassein (in Burma), Colombo, Badulla, Galle, Kandy (in Ceylon), and Bombay (India). The position regarding the Brigade Overseas in Ceylon has been that for many years the Ceylon Police has represented the only Brigade members-fortunately with an outstanding appreciation of the need for ambulance service and with admirable efficiency.

the Lady uperintcndent-in-Chief, Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., D.ST.J., paid an official visit to eylon a!ld did her utmo~t to arou~e interest. in nursing servicc, but Ceylon rcmamed from 1915 wIt.hout a smgle Nur mg Divi ion until my official visit in 1937. Meanwhile a most disastrous epidemic of malaria had decimated the population and many hundreds had died who c lives could have been saved had we posse sed a sufficiency of Ambulance and Nursing Divi ions. It was clear that the necessity could brook no further delay, and with the valuable help of the InspectorGeneral of Police- Po N. Banks, Esq., c.sT.J.- l was able to succeed in starting toward training a European Nursing Division. At ingapore, too, I had found the need most urgent, for this most vital strategical entre had, at the time of my visit, not a single ambulance or nursing division. Herc al. 0 I succeeded in tirring up pll blic interest, being largely helped by Dr. J. . \\rcb tcr, O.B.E., C.ST.J., who had fought valiantly in our intere ts for 0 many years. In urma al 0 I had found, in 1937, but one Ambulance Division and not a ingle 1 Tur ing Division in the whole country. In all tropical countrie nch a the c three it i notoriously difficult to stimulat.e intere t owing to the extreme heat, and although it was clearlye senLial that omething hould be done in the matter of ambulance service, the task \ya indeed formidable. Further, with the whole of the Empire to covcr it wa clearly impossible for me to remain until ambulancc cfficicncy had b en attained. On my return to England I therefore hoped that the Lady llpcrintendent-in-Chief \vould find it po ible to proceed to eylon, l\Ialaya, and Burma where her experience and great keenne s would have proved of enormous value. Most unfortunately he \Va unable to do this-acting upon medical advice- but providentially the Hon. Ir. opland-Griffiths consented to perform that most difficult task; defraying her own expen es and carrying out a full programme with con picuous ability as the Representative of the Lady uperintendent-in- hi f. A full report of 1\Ir. opland-Griffith' remarkably fine inspectional tour has been printed and i sued. All that it is nece sary for me to add is that the vi its we had both paid to Ceylon, Ialaya, and Burma proved singularly opportune for the riots in Burma made a heavy call upon the services of the members of the newly-formed Ambulance and Nur ing Divisions, while the crisis of eptember, 1938, made it clear that ambulance servi.ce was an e sential to a civilized country. In tropical countries partIcularly it may be said that every trained ambulance worker treats at least seven injuries a year, while the mortality rate in extreme heat being great, it is not far-fetched to say that they save a life every year. Therefore the fact that these tours resulted in a great increase in strength must remain a source of great comfort to those who performed them and to those others who were mainly re pon ible for the formation of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. It is but ju t to Mrs. Lancelot Dent's fine record to add that-prevented as she had been from proceeding to Ceylon, Malaya, and Burma on account o.f the climate-she yet succeeded in completing a tour of the West IndIes where she did much to stimulate interest in our work as a consequence of which I am hopeful that Divisions of the Brigade Overseas may eventuate.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

TOUR OF EAST AFRICA, MALTA, GIBRALTAR, ADEN, THE SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS AND ST. HELENA BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER. Leaving England in December, 1937, I paid my third official vi it to Gibraltar where I found great progress had been made. Next came the first official visit by a Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas to Malta for although I had touched there twice during the pa t fou~ yeaI~s and performed duty there, it had not been a. lengthy st':lY' H ere III thIS ancient home of our Order I found a most satIsfactory splnt of ambulance service, while the formations proved most efficient. I received the utmost kindness from H .E. The Governor, Lieut. -Colonel A. J. Gatt, O.B.E., M.C., K.ST.J., and from all our many supporters there. Then came my third official visit to Aden, where steady progress i being made largely due to the support of H .E. The Governor and the untiring cfforts of the Hon. Secretary of the Branch of the As ociatio~, T\~r. A. Bh~t.t, B.A. On arrival at fombasa I was met by the Dlstnct upenntendent of the Kenya District of the Brigade Over eas--R. C. A. Cavendi. h, E q ., C.ST.J., who is also the Commissioner of Police. lr. Cavcndish take the greatest interest in our work and he ~ad arranged the whole of my tour in East Africa with the utmost effiCIency. Both at Mombasa and Nairobi I was to witness the high standard of ambulancc work on the part of the Kenya Police and the employees of th~ ~ailways and H arbour, while the international situation made my VlSIt so opportune that I found the greatest interest being shown in our work by the Indian, Arab, and African population also. As a consequence I wa~ able to f~rm .a branch of the Association at Mombasa, and a CommIttee at Nalrobl, while-thanks largely to Mrs. Cavendi h-this vi it help~d toward the formation of the first Nursing Divi ion of the Brigade III all East Africa; one formed, for the most part, from among the wives of Kenya Police Officers. From H .E. The Governor downwards I was offered the most generous hospitality, and H.E.'s interest in our w?rk proved ~ost valuable. As in Ceylon and Zanzibar the greatest credit must be gl\'cn to the Police in Kenya, for it has been the fi~1e e~a~ple set by them in ambulance service which has now resulted III thIS Illcreased Illtere t in our work. Later I was to fly back to Nairobi from Dar-es- alaam at t he invitation of the Kenya Government, in order to advise upon A.R:P. measures-a fine compliment to the Order. My last duty before leavmg Kenya was to visit the survivors of the Abyssinian refugees now comfortably established at Isiolo, although there are only some 6,000 of the 14,000 who started the flight. . I was next to visit Uganda, where I found the Uganda PolIce, under Captain E. G. Fish, and the employ~es of the Railways and Harbours very efficient in their ambulance dutIes. Here also H.E. The Governor was taking a great interest in our work, and thanks very largely to Dr. W. H. Kauntze, C.M.G., and the Hon. Mr. H. R. Hone, a Branch of the Association was formed at Entebbe, and several classes started for European, Indian, Arab, Goan, and Africa.n. De.fraying as I was from my private purse the whole expenses of thIS ~fficlal tour ~n land, I felt justified in wedging in a big-game photographIC tour of thIS wonderl~nd of game; being so extremely fortunate as to see no less. than 82 h?n, t housands of elephant, and almost every other kind of Afncan game lIfe.

In addition I addressed the House of Parliament of Buganda, stressing the need for an expansion of ambulance service throughout Uganda-an address which was warmly received by the African Chiefs present. I was now to have the unique experience and most difficult of all tasks, namely, visiting a Colony in which no form of ambulance service has ever been introduced-Tanganyika. Crossing the Victoria Nyanza I commenced my visit to Mwanza. From here down to the coast I was to do my best to establish branches of the Association and to direct interest towards the formation of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. It was a task done in great heat with people for the most part quite unfamiliar with the benefits of such service, but I was received most warmly by European, Indian, Goan, Arab, and African, and especially by the Medical Officers, so that one feels that certain of the seed sown will bear fruit in course of time. At the capital-Dar-es-Salaam-I succeeded in forming a committee and establishing a branch of the Association, while I was fortunate in getting the Commissioner of Police, Major F. A. B. Iicoll, O.B.E., to promise to introduce our Brigade system into his fine Police Force-always the first and best step to take in ambulance pioneering effort in tropical countries. At Tanga also I succeeded in forming a Branch and starting First Aid classes. H aving later flown back to Nairobi, and attended further meetings there, my next pleasant duty was to visit Zanzibar, where I received the utmost kindness from H.E. The British Resident, J. Hathorn Hall, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C., and our Division Superintendent, A. 1. Sheringham, Esq., O.ST.J., who has been mainly responsible for the very smart and efficient body of Zanzibar Police who are also members of the Brigade. 1y return journey was made via the outh African Ports at each of which (Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town) I held a conferencc with our splendid helpers. I found that very great and valuable progress had been made in our establishments in South Africa since my visit, and the presentation of the Mandate in 1936, a large part of the credit for which belongs to our Commandery Commissioner there, and the Commandery Staff Officer who had accompanied me from Durban to Cape Town-Mr. A. M. Anderson, O.ST.J. There still remained another place to visit, and here again I was able to break new ground, for at St. Helena, thanks largely to H.E. The Governor, the Hon. H. G. P. Pilling, C.M.G., I was able to form a committee and to plant the seeds of ambulance and nursing thought. . I arrived back in England in May, 1938, after one of the most interesting, If actually the most tiring, tour of all those paid during the past four years. It is one thing to meet people familiar with the necessity for ambulance servi~e, or to inspect efficient Divisions under equally efficient Officers, and qUIte another to try and persuade those unfamiliar with am"?ulance service of its necessity, for during the whole Tour of East Afnca, the only places in which our Divisions existed had been Nairobi, Kampala, a.nd Zanzibar-spots in an ocean of humanity and in a country I?arts of which are unhealthy or which contain dangerous ariimal or reptile hfe. The total tour was 26,133 miles; making 169,445 miles of travel on St. John service since 1935, having visited South Africa, Rhodesia,

Australia, New Zealand, Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, India, Bum1a, Ceylon, Singapore, Penang, Hong Kong, Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, Zanzibar, and t. Helena. Following Mrs. Copland-Griffiths' great success on her tour, I was very pleased to recommend her appointment as Assistant Lady uperintendentin-Chief of the N ur ing Divisions of the Brigade Over eas, and this appointment was made in July, 1938. Mrs. Copland-Griffiths again left England in December, 1938, for an extensive tour of India, and advance report received from her indicate that she has been most enthu iastically received, and ha been able to do he i much towards encouraging the formation of Nursing Divi ion. accompanied by Iiss Mavrojani, who is acting as Honorary ecr tary, and I would express my sincere thanks to the e ladie. for having at their own expense undertaken this arduou duty, the result of which I have every confidence will be outstanding. RESIGNATION OF LADY SUPERINTE DE. T-IN-CIIIEF. I regret very much that in November, 1938, Irs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.J., D.ST.J., found that she could no longer continue as Lad upenntendent-in-Chief and Chapter-General wa reluctantly compelled to accept her resignation. Mrs. Lancelot Dent had been Lady uperintendent-inChief of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Over ea ince 1921, and during the seventeen years during which she held that rank, ha performed invaluable service for the Brigade Oversea. 1Ir. Dent ha vi ited Canada, South Africa, outhern Rhode ia, India, Ceylon, and the \\'e t Indies, and the contacts she has made and the example he ha set ha proved of great value following her tours. Mr. Dent will also be remembered for the kindly hospitality and help which he placed at the disposal of overseas members visiting this country, particularly during the Centenary Celebrations of the Order in 1931, and the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in 1937, and I know I speak for all members of the Brigade Overseas in expressing my own personal regrets that her service \-vith the Brigade Overseas has ended. PUBLIC DUTY. The Brigade Overseas has performed meritorious service in all parts of the Empire during the year. Many cases of outstanding duty have been reported, including that done during the riots in R angoon, The Voortrekker Centenary Celebrations in South Africa, Bush Fires in Australia, and among the Chinese Refugees in Hong Kong. The total number of cases treated during the year on Public Duty was nearly 120,000. OVERSEAS VISITORS. We were pleased to welcome over 50 overseas visitors to t. John's Gate during the year. It was found possible to attach many of these to Divisions of the Brigade at Home, during their stay, and others were given letters of introduction to enable them to pay visits to units in various parts of the country. I feel that such contacts between the overseas and home members are of the utmost value, and I should like here to record my appreciation of the generous welcome always accorded overseas visitors by Officers and Members of the Brigade at Home.

With regard to the work in each country : AUSTRALIA. In the New South Wales District the Brigade continues to progress. For the purpose of more efficient administration, it has been found necessary to divide the Divisions in Sydney into Corps, and during 1938, the 1 t, 2nd, and 3rd Sydney Corps were registered. The Brigade performed Public Duty at all the functions held in connection with the 150th Anniver ary of New outh 'Vales. In the outh Australia District the Brigade continues to be active, as indicated by the fact that during the year 5,200 cases were treated on Public Duty. Outstanding events were the inspections of the Brigade by Hi Excellency ir 'Vinston Dugan, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O., K.ST.J., at a special parade at Go,-ernment H ouse, and on the occasion of the annual inspection of the District. In addition, His Excellency was present with Lady ugan on the occasion of the annual Church Parade, when over 300 members we're pre ent. The first adet Camp to be held by the South Australia District was held in December, and proved most successful. In the IVes/ern A 1lstralt'a District the Perth Nursing Division celebrated tIle silver jubilee of its formation. In Tas11lan£a the Launce ton. Tursing Division was formed, taking the place of the Launce ton and Devonport ursing, which had become moribund. BURi-fA. ~he Hon. Mr . Copland-Griffiths visited Burma from 8th February until 10th March, and travelled about the country, visiting Rangoon, landalay, Ioulmein, Bas ein, and many other place. During her stay, she was ~ble to do much to encourage the formation of Nursing Divisions of the Bngade, as she found the First Aid and Home ursing teaching was sI?r~ading in all directions, following my visit there in 1937. Since these VISIt , the growth of the Brigade in Burma-under the leadership of The Hon. lr. J u tice Ba - has been nothing short of remarkable. At the beginning of 1938, there was but 1 Ambulance Division in existence, but uch was the keenne sand intere t of those responsible that by the end of the year, 18 new Divi ions had been formed, bringing the total to 9 Ambulance and 10 Nursing Divisions. The members of these Divisions quickly had to undergo the ordeal of perfor!l1 in g public service on a large scale, for they were called out for duty 111 July, 1938, during the riots in Rangoon, and they are to be congratulated on the way in which they maintained the traditions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. They did work of extreme value and per.formed First Aid and Rescue work during the riots and the' fires whIch follo~ed, often carrying out their duties in extremely difficult and dangerous CIrcumstances. The Chapter-General of the Order has recognized these services by the award of Votes of Thanks on Vellum to the Burma District of the Brigade Overseas. BERMUDA. T,he ~amilton Division has maintained its position, and there has been a slight 111crease in the number of cases treated on Public Duty.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

CANADA. The Brigade within the Commandery in Canada continues to make steady progress, as shown by the formation of 7 new Divisions during the year. A feature of the Public Duty performed by the Brigade is that at the V\ eek-end ski-ing in the Laurentian Mountain, where the six First Aid Posts established will shortly be increased. During the year His Excellency the Governor-General inspected the \Vinnipeg Corps. ~ly last visit to Canada was in 1929, when I in pected ambulance and nursing divisions of the Brigade Overseas, and vi ited Victoria and Vancouver in British Columbia, Calgary, Banff, Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto. My host on that occasion was Brigadier-General ir Henry Pellatt, and it is with deep regret that I learnt of his death, for he had done much to further the work of the Order. CEYLO . The Hon . Mrs. Copland-Griffiths vi ited Ceylon in l\larch and during her stay visited many places on the Island, and was able to be of great help to those interested in First Aid and Home Nur ing. I am happy to ay that two Nursing Divisions have since been regi teredo The e are the first Nursing Divisions to be formed in Ceylon since the original Nur ing Division became defunct in 1915. It is with regret that I have to announce that during 193 the Assi tant Commissioner in charge of the Ceylon Di trict-Profe or F. O.'B. Ellison-left Ceylon on retirement. His place has been taken by Dr. D. D. S. Outschoorn, one who has consi tently rendered mo t valuable service. The Ceylon Police Corps again added to its strength, and it members have attended to numerous cases of accident and sudden illness. CYPRUS. Although there are as yet no Divisions among the civilian population in Cyprus, the Cyprus Police Division continues to do much u eful work. The membership has increased this year to 83. GIBRALTAR. I am pleased to be able to report that since my three visits to Gibraltar there has been an awakened interest in First Aid and Home Nursing, as a result of which 2 Nursing Divisions have been formed and there is every hope that Ambulance Divisions may be registered shortly. The Nursing Divisions were called out for duty during" black out" exercises designed to test the efficiency of the A.R.P. arrangements. HONG KONG. Those who serve the Brigade in Hong Kong deserve the highest praise for the magnificent work they have done during most anxious and strenuous days. In addition to their normal work in Hong Kong and the New Territories, their work has been enormously increased by the tremendous influx of refugees into British Territory and Hong Kong

itself. Some of their work has been carried out under trying conditions, including danger from Bombing Raids near the frontier. The Brigade has also been extremely active in training its personnel in A.R.P. and in lecturing and demonstrating to the general public. The heavy calls made upon our members has demanded a large increase in strength, and proof of the value of our work and the appreciation of the residents in Hong Kong is to be found in the fact that this response has been most generous. No part of the Brigade can have been tested more highly during the past three years than that at Hong Kong, and my gratitude and appreciation goe out to the Commis ioner, Mr. Alfred Morris, C.ST.J., and the Lady District Officer, Mrs. R. Langley, O.ST.J., and all their Officers and other ranks who have served so splendidly and so well in the direct relief of suffering and in bringing comfort and hope to despairing refugees. As one who was privileged to witness some of this work, and as one who visited Canton in the earlier stages of the J apanese- ino conflict, I can perhaps appreciate better than most the excellence of these services. INDIA. By the formation of 27 new Divisions (19 Ambulance and 8 Nursing) India has tak n a big step forward since my visit in 1937. An intere ting anniver ary in 1938 was the Silver Jubilee of the Parsi Nursing Divi ion in Bombay. In connection with this anniversary a Health Exhibition was organized and was opened by Lady \Viles, wife of ir Gilbert \Vile, s i, t ant ommis ioner of the No. 3 District of the Brigade. During the 9 days of the Exhibition it was visited by over 50,000 visitors from Bombay and suburbs. I wa glad to ee that the All-India Competitions were held this year. They took place at T ew Delhi where a record number of 99 teamsrepre entin a 500 competitors- took part; some from as far away as Karachi and alcutta. The trophies and prizes were presented by His Excellency The Viceroy, and the competitions were also visited by His Excellency The Commander-in-Chief. Public Duty was performed during the visit to Lahore of Their Excellencies The iceroy and the Marchioness of Linlithgow on 27th October. KEr VA.

My tour of Kenya was very extensive and proved most encouraging, for although there were no Ambulance or ursing Divisions of the Brigade in existence, apart from the Kenya Police Division, I found there was a growing interest in First Aid and A.R.P. work. I pent from 5th to 27th February touring Kenya and later, at the request of His Excellency The Governor, I paid a return vi it to discuss A.R.P. problems. I am glad to say that the first Nursing Division ever to be formed in Kenya has been regi tered at Nairobi. The Kenya Police Division continues to grow in strength, and its members are well maintaining the keenness and efficiency which has cO.me to be expected of them. During my tour, I visited the camp at IS1Olo for Ethiopian Refugees, among whom the Kenya Police have done excellent work, without which large numbers of refugees would never have reached safety_

Among the duties performed was that in connection wi lh the flooding in the Esk Valley district, when members of the apier Di\' i~ion helped in the rescue of stranded airmen- tran porting them o\'er 9 mile of rough and boggy country-and also in the rescue and relief work among the inhabitants of the stricken area. A census of the duty being performed at sport grounds throughout New Zealand on aturday, 25th June, revealed that 853 member 'were on duty, who treated 1,726 cases. SOUTH AFRICA. The work of the Brigade within the Commandery in Southern Africa maintains its very high standard, and has increased its strength by the formation of 15 Adult and 11 Cadet Divi ion during the year. The Brigade performed splendid work on the occa ion of the Centenary Celebrations of the Voortrekkers, which took place from 12th-19th December. Over 70 members of the Brigade (mostly drawn from the South African Railways and Harbours District) were on duty for the whole of the period of the Celebrations, and during that time treated nearly 1,500 cases, of which 45 had to be transported to hospital. Many letters of appreciation of the work performed, and the high standard of efficiency and conduct of the members have been received. The Brigade has also been called in to assist in the removal of patients from the Somerset West Hospital to the new Groote Schuur Hospital at Capetown.

SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE ORDER. THE PRIORY FOR WALES.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal ecretary and Commissioner for \Vales. The report I have the honour t.o submit .on the ye~r 1938, reflects the anxieties of a critical period in natIonal afialfs shared m no small measure by Ambulance Organizations.

PRIORY FOR WALES.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

As the year closed the V.A.D. cherne, which has nevcr been very popular among Brigade personnel in Wale, showed definite prospects of development in Monmouth hire and wansea, a special appeal having been made to Nursing Units to encourage enrolment. These pos ibilitie materialized, however, just after the \Var Office instruction wa issued suspending further enrolment of Immobile Nursing M mbers. One new Detachment was regi tered in the Rhondda (Glamorgan 26<1), bringing the number of t. John Detachment to 9 Female and 1 1\Iale, with a combined strength of 221 women and 29 men. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS.

The Chemical \Varfare Protection ub-CommiLt e, on which every Centre of the Priory is represented, met monthly, keeping in touch with the Government cherne, during the difficult tage of it volution ; and on the ba is of the Home Office Circular 703,189/ 19, dated 2 th Augu, t, 1938, a memorandum was addr,e sed to the Authoritie off ring to und rtake, in conjunction with the Briti h Red ro ociety, the training of the Casualty Service volunteers. No official recognition wa conceded however; and the only cour e open to the Priory wa to urge Brigade Ieanwhilc, personnel to offer their services to the Local Authorities. instructional classes for Brigade lember, outside organization, employees of works and shops continued on a voluntary ba is, which reflects the greatest credit upon the Grade I In trudOL, who q ualiflcd at no little sacrifice of time and money.

years the Priory was granted the free use of the Hutments at Nells Point, Barry Island, by the Glamorgan Territorial Army and Air Force Association; and following the week commencing 30th July, when the accommodation was occupied by V.A.D. and Nursing Members under the capable leadership of Lady County uperintendent Mrs. . B. Turner and Lady County Officer MISS E.

BRIGADE ACTIVITIES.

COMPETITIONS.

The total number of cases of accident and sidm ' treatcd by Brigadc members, according to returns rendered to Priory HOll e, which invariably fall short of the actual figures, was 56,954, of whom 4,581 were removed to home or hospital, while 1,816 represent road accident. Eight Roadside First Aid Huts and 85 First Aid Posts are maintained by Brigade nit. On the _ ursing side the demand for the attendance of nur ing memb r for voluntary assistance at homes and institutions increa e , 582 such duties being recorded last year. It happens not infrequently that thi hospital service has been the means of causing members to make prof ssional nursing their career. One Nursing Division, for instance, at Llanelly, has supplied no fewer than 34 members to the Profes ion. Ambulance duties were carried out on a large scale jointly by t. John and Red Cross Members in Cardiff in connection with the Royal Agricultural Show and the Royal National Eisteddfod.

. The m~st important feature of the year in this connection was the mauguratlOn of the \\Tel h Brigade Final Competitions for Cadet Team, held. on .the 26t~ February. The cont~sts were arranged in two age groups, the Jumor ectI?n (12 to 16 year) bemg judged on the Preliminary Textbooks, and semors (16- 18) on the official handbooks each Centre of the Priory being invited to enter one team in each secti~n. Three new cups pr~ ented for these events brought the number of trophies vested in the Pnory for anual competition to 140, ' valued at and insured for £2,656 7s. 6d. The teams successful in the first Cadet Finals were : Llanelly Nur ing : .Junior Girls, Lady Lewis Cup. Pontyberem: . en:or Boys,. Capt. L. Twiston Davies Cup. Clydach and Dl tnct: JUl1lor Boys, Mrs. L. Twiston Davies Cup. In the Vlelsh Brigade Final Competitions for senior teams the " Llandinam hield was won by the Clydach and District Ambu'lance Tea~, and the " Arthur Griffiths Memorial Cup by the Builth Wells Nursmg Teams, both of Brecknockshire. The" Harry -yvebb Cup, competed for by three selected teams from each of the RaIlway Compa~ies operating in . V\ ales, was won by the Brynmawr Team (London, MIdland, and Scottish Railway Co.). II

BRIGADE CAMPS.·

The annual holiday and instructional camp inaugurated in 1936, with grant aid from King George's Jubilee Trust, has become a source of considerable attraction to the Cadets; and it is earnestly hoped that funds will be afforded to enable camping facilities to be continued. As in former

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

The Priory was entrusted as usual with the organization of the Ambulance Competitions which figure prominently in the programme of the Royal National Eisteddfod of \Vales. An innovation which attracted considerable interest was a competition open to ambulance teams in possession of A.R.P. certificates, in which Cardiff City Divi ional team was successful. The \Velsh National Competition, instituted by the Priory in 1935, for employees of Road Transport Undertakings, was held under out ide auspices, in view of a departure from the rule whereby all team member are required to be in possession of recognized First Aid Certificates. There are difficulties in the way of arranging instruction for teams of road tran port workers; but a further attempt is being made, with the support of the principal Undertakings, to induce the men to put th mseh e in possession of First Aid knowledge. A1IBULA CE HALLS.

In my last year's report, I was able to announce a grant of £5,000 (subsequently increased to £5,300) from the Commissioner for pecial Areas Fund towards the erection of Ambulance Halls; and it i of interest to record that at the end of 1938,61 Brigade Units are in possession of their own Headquarters, 26 Divisions having benefited by grants not exceeding 50 per cent of the cost of the scheme up to a limit of £275 plus 50 per cent of architects' and solicitors' fees. In order to enable Units to take advantage of the opportunity of grantaid within the time limit imposed, advances at a nominal 1 per cent,. ere made from Priory funds, for repayment within varying pcriods of years. At the 31st December a sum of nearly £2,000 is due to be repaid on Ambulance Hall loans, but without exception Divi ions arc honouring their obligations, and in many cases making repayments in advance of agreed dates. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

With the opening of 34 new Depots during the year, there are 86 working under the Priory, by means of which a total number of 9,439 articles were issued, an increase of 1,823 on 1937. This welcome expan ion of a valued service has been rendered possible by the Grant from the Special Areas Fund, successfully negotiated by the South vVales and Monmouthshire Council of Social Service through its Health ervices Committee and particularly the honorary services of Mr. James Walton, who interviewed Officers-in-Cha.rge and Depot Committees in the various localities, exercising infinite tact in arranging for the adoption of the conditions of the grant. Great credit is due to the Brigade personnel for the readiness with which they have undertaken the onerous duties involved in the maintenance of Depots, comprising attendance at definite hours daily for the issue of articles, responsibility for the return of equipment, the carrying out of proper cleansing and disinfection; and the keeping of accounts and records.

Cont.

being 18,761 and 312,994 respectively, an increase of 520 cases and 10 754 miles on the figures for 1937. The number of ambulances was increased last year to 21 by the opening of a new Station at Clydach-on-Tawe in August, for a trial period of twelve months; and the encouraging measure of support from companies and employees in the locality augurs well fo~ the pe~anence of the tation. Towards the end of the year the Pnory acqurred an ambulancc service formerly operated in the Glanam.man dist~ict for a number of years by a local proprietor, all the subscnbers havmg transferred their support to the Priory scheme. Two new ambulances were added to the fleet, while general improvement in connection with construction and equipment carried out on cars already in commission added to the reputedly high standard of efficiency. A further grant of £1,000 made towards capital expenditure by ~he Central ommittee of the Miners' Welfare Fund on the recommendahon of the Joint Committee for 10nmouthshire and South Wales is gratefully recorded. The stations are rendering a co-ordinated day and night service and high tribut.cs of prai c are frequently received in re~pect o.f the co~fort of the cars and the friendly efficiency of the whole-hme dnvers qualified in First Aid who man them. \VELSH HOME SERVICE AMBULA CE COMMITTEE.

MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The issue of the 39th edition of First Aid to the InJ'Hred, and the rush for ambulance instruction stimulated by the September crisis, contributed to a record year in the sale of First Aid textbooks, which rose from a total of 4,024 in 1937 to 10,556 in 1938, while 4,740 A.R.P. handbooks were sold. Extended payment terms are now allov:red to Brigade l!nits on or~ers for uniform; and although a sum fluctuatmg around £300 IS outsta~dmg, there is no reason to anticipate that the repayments will not be contmued with customary diligence. . A stand at the Grey Friars Hall, Cardiff, allotted to the Pnory by the Promotors of the South Wales Engineering Exhibition, attracted a number of new customers for first aid outfits and dressings, the sale of which increases annually.

I am pleased to record the appointment of Mr. Rhys Llewellyn, The CQurt, St. Fagans, as Trustee in place of the late Mr. Charles Keen; and

" I shall take every opportunity of doing what I can to further the interests of the Order, and I regard it as a great privilege to be in a position to contribute something towards its work. " The Order is of great antiquity, and in my travels I have been much impressed with the work it is doing and the way it has adapted itself to modern conditions of service. " r know of the care, thought, and attention given to the Order by my predecessor, Lord Clarendon; I hope to serve you in the same way, and I shall be proud if I can find that I have been able to follow in the footsteps of my predecessor." Immediately previous to the Commandery Chapter meeting, the Knight Commander invested a number of new members of the Order.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

The activities of the St. John Ambulance Association and Brigade, as shown by the reports of the Director of Ambulance and ommandery Commissioner, have made excellent progre during the year. The Commandery Chapter gladly expresses its appreciation and thanks to all those who have laboured so wholeheartedly" Pro Utilitate Hominum " especially to the many Brigade members who acquitted themselves in such a praiseworthy manner during the period of the Voortrekker entenary Celebrations. The Commandery Chapter expresses its grateful thank to t.he nion Government for invaluable assistance received through the Department. of Public Health, the Department of Defence, and the . . Railway Administration, to Colonel E. H. Cluver, ecretary for Public Health, and Colonel A. J. van der Spuy, Director of Iedical ervice, for t.heir personal interest in our work; and to the General},Ianager of Railways, Mr. T. H. \Vatermeyer, for his very valuable assistance in connection with the production of our Afrikaans textbooks. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION. A perusal of the summary of the awards issued during the year under review shows that most Centres of the Association have con iderably improved on the previous year's figures, with the result that the current year shows another record of progress, which is extremely gratifying. The total awards issued numbered 8,977- 1,246, or 16·07 per cent, above the total awards for the previous year, and 9·12 per cent of the latter figure shows the approximate increase in Brigade re-examination. There is a slight decrease in this year's figure for dult and Preliminary Home Nursing Certificates, but there is an increase of 170 in the issue of Adult First Aid and 314 in Preliminary Fir t Aid ertificates. The initial awards for the current year are 344 ahead of the preceding yearan increase of 6·95 per cent, thus bringing the grand total 0 f awards issued in this country to a creditable figure of 101,565. To those who have laboured so assiduously in our in tructional work and especially to all Officers of Centres and Centre Committees, I expre s my cordial thanks and appreciation. The eighth annual meeting of the Ambulance Committee was held in the City Hall, Durban, on 30th September, 1938, when I pre ided over a representative attendance of delegates from Centres of the Association and Districts of the Brigade throughout South Africa. Centres were advised that The Most Reverend Dr. J. R. Darbyshire, Lord Archbishop of Capetown, had extended his Patronage to the St. John Ambulance Association within the Commandery. The original St. John poster has been brought up to date and, depicting the South African Brigade Uniform, these posters are now available, in both official languages, for Association and Brigade purposes. The Afrikaans translation of the latest (39th) edition of the official textbook, "First Aid to the Injured," has been in circulation for some months; it has been greatly welcomed by Afrikaans-speaking members, and should materially help to increase our membership during the ensuing year. His Excellency The Knight Commander very graciously contributed a Foreword to this valuable addition to our instructional books; His

Excellency has also contributed a Foreword to the Preliminary First Aid Manual, which is in course of translation. The Home Nursing Manual is in process of translation into Afrikaans and it is hoped. to fo~ow in due course with the Junior Nursing Manual. ' The usual Flrst Aid Course now includes instruction on the treatment of persons suffering from gas poisoning, and the preventive measures to be adopted by the personnel in rendering First Aid to such cases. ST. JOR. AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. " His Excellency has directed me to inform you that he has read the report in connection with First Aid duties rendered by members of the Bngade at the Voortrekker Centenary Celebrations at Voortrekker Hoogte, Blood River, and along the route of the Ossewa Trek with much interest and ~shes to congratula~e the members of the Brigade on the valuable seTVlce rendered, sometImes under difficult conditions. \Vill you kindly have this expression of His Excellency's appreciation conveyed to those concerned? " o runs the well-merited tribute paid by The Knight Commander His Excellency ir ~atrick Duncan, G.C.M.G., R.C., LL.D., K.ST.J., to th~ member. of th.e Bngade who, t~r?ughout all provinces of the Union, gave theIr serVlces so ably and wIllmgly for this historic occasion. Throughout the entire route of the Ossewa Trek which covered many thou and of miles from the Jan van Riebeek Statue at the entrance to Capet.own, the Mother City of the Union, through the Cape Province, Orange Fre~ tate, and the Transvaal, to the Voortrekker 10nument, near Pretona; from the Transvaal to Blood River Monument in Natal t. John men and women were at hand to render whatever' assistanc~ mi~ht be required. Every member on duty was bilingual, and those domg dut at the Monument Camps at Pretoria and Blood River were almost entirely from the S.A.R. & H. District. The Commissioner Mr. T. H .. \Yatermeyer, in circulating various reports received, and tributes paId, says :" \"\'hen it is considered that service was also rendered at the towns and villages through which the Trek wagons passed in their diverse routes from ~petown to ~reto~ia~ something of the magnitude of the duty can be realIzed. Certamly It IS the lc:rgest organized service the Brigade has ~ver undertaken m South Afnca, and in thousands of homes where prevw'lisly the work of St. John Ambulance was unknown it will now be ~poken of alld remembered with gratitude. All ranks carried out their duties m a rr:-an?~r in keeping with the high traditions of the Order, and to every mdIVIdual meI?ber I desire to express my very high appreciation and thanks for serVIce cheerfully and efficiently rendered often under the most trying conditions." , I fully endorse Mr. Watermeyer's words of praise, and gladly express my warmest commendation and thanks to all concerned for these outstanding services rendered" Pro Utilitate Hominum " . At the Voortrekker Monument Camp 71 members-all ranks-52 Ambulance and 19 Nursing, did continuous duty for over a weeksome .of them for 20 hours per day-many using their private cars, and aIded by local Brigade members; and it must be remembered that

many of these members came from all points of the campa s-irom Capetown, Kimberley, Mafeking, Upington, Port Elizabeth, Ea t London, and Durban. It was impossible to keep a record of cases treated in the field, but 1 360 were recorded at the main station and Fir t Aid po t . , Acting District uperintendent J. A.

" Dingaan's Day, 16th December, brought thousands more to celebrate this historic occasion (over 40,000 in camp); the heat wa even more intense and the dust from wagons and car made it rna t uncomfortable. " Over 500 cases treated this day-l,465 ca es altogcth r; there wa splendid co-operation throughout. The ex pres ions of gratitude from th many sufferers, as well as others, showed how greatly the, t. John mbulance Brigade had been appreciated during this period. I am certain that our work will live in the memorie of those privileged to take part. The field work was new to most of our members, but everyone carried out their duties cheerfully and most efficiently. " Two St. John Motor Ambulance (Ladysmith and Vryheid Divi ion) did strenuous duty throughout and made over 100 trip ." The high standard of service rendered by our member during thi historic occasion is typical of the service which they, and all other members of the Brigade, perform year by year within the Commandery. We were considerably heartened by a brief vi it from the hief ommissioner of the Brigade Overseas, olonel James L. 1 eman, C.B. C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., K.ST.J., on his way to England from an Inspectional Tour around the East Coast of Africa. The Chief Commissioner arrived in Durban on 26th April, 1938, suffering from serious ear trouble following on a chill, but this did not deter him from making every possible contact with our members at Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town. At Durban he was met by the Staff Officer, Mr. Alex. M. Anderson, who accompanied him to Cape Town. At each point the Chief Commissioner was given a very cordial welcome by many who had met him on his 1935 Visitation Tour. On the evening of his arrival here, the Capetown Centre gave a dinner in honour of Colonel Sleeman, when the Vice-President, Mrs. J. E. Conradie, cordially welcomed him on behalf of the members of the Order, the Association, and Brigade. During the evening we listened to a most interesting description of the Chief Commissioner's recent activities in the interests of the Order and we were all very glad to know that, when

Following the Inspection, which ended WIth a larch Past , His Excellency-who was accompanied by Her Excellency Lady Duncan, D.ST.J., Lady uperintendent-in-Chief. of the Nur~ing Division and Lieut.- olonel F. \V. P. Cluver, Deputy Dlrector of MedIcal ervices-complimented the parade and thanked the members for the valuable voluntary services. Hi Excellency similarly inspected the combined Town and Railway ivi ions in th Pretoria area at the Caledonian ports Ground on 6th Decemb r, 1938. His Excellency was accompanied by the Lady uperintendent-in- hief, Lady Duncan, D.ST.J., ir \Villiam Clark, G.C.M.G., K.C.S.I., K. T.J. (Lieutenant), and the Director of Medical Services, Colonel A. J. van der puy, all of whom took a keen interest in the various tests performed. Her Excellency Lady Duncan, D.ST.J., Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, conducted the Annual Inspection of the Nursing and Nursing Cadet Divi ion of the e.G.H. and .A.R. & H. Districts in the Cape Peninsula on 29th ugu t, 193 , in the new Drill Hall. In spit~ ~f. a heavy rainstorm, there was practically a full muster of all DIvIslO.ns, and. Her Excell nc cordially congratulated all concerned on the high effiCIency shown, a also on a practical demonstration of an A.R.P. First Aid Room taged by member of the Peninsula Railway Nursing Division: The combin d Inspection of all Divisions on the Reef was carned out by olonel A. J. van der puy, Director of Medical ervices, on the pacious grounds of the \Vitwatersrand University at Johannesburg on 10th D cember,1938. oloncI van der Spuy complimented the parade on the high standard of efficiency shown. The Inspection, which was viewed by a large and repre entative gathering of the public, conclud~d with a very fine March Pa t to music provided by the band of the Impenal Light Hor e. Accompanied by Major L. Blumberg, representing the Director of Medical ervices, I in. pected the combined Ambulance Divisions of the e.G.H. Di trict and Cape \ Vestern (Railway) Sub-District, at the new Drill Hall on 18th November, 1938. There was an excellent attendance and the variou tests attained a hio-h standard. The Reports on the Inspections conducted by the respective Officers in the outlying districts show that a high degree of efficiency is being maintained and much valuable work done. Our Nursing Divi ion members continue their attendance for training in Military Hospital Administration at the Military Hospital, Roberts Heights, Pretoria, at the rate of five per month. This valuable privilege is eagerly sought after and there is usually a considerable waiting list for months ahead, as also for the Refresher Course of fifteen days. One of our members reached the creditably high standard of 98 per cent in the examination for the special certificate at the conclusion of the Course. To the Director of Medical Services, the Officer Commanding at the J

Military Hospital, and the Matron and Staff, I express my very cordial thanks for the valuable facilities provided, the instruction provided, and the many kindnesses shown to our nurses. I have also to express my sincere thanks to the Matron and taff at each of the various Hospitals throughout the country where our Nursing Division members are privileged to attend for additional in truction. Here I must specially mention, and tender my warmest thanks to, some fifty of our local Nursing Division members who so promptly and ably answered the urgent call from the Groote chuur Ho pital during the recent epidemic amongst the Nursing Staff there. Most of those who attended did so after their day's work, some working through the night. The highest praise was given to this out tanding service. Lieut.-Colonel A. Gordon Forbes, M.C., Assistant ommis ioner of the e.G.H. District, resigned owing to pressure of work, and I am very glad to welcome, in his place, Mr. \V. F. eary, late A istant Commissioner, Cape \Vestern (S.A.R. & H.) ub-Di trict, who i a ured of loyal support from everyone in the e.G.H. District. It is with very great regret that I received the resignation of ir Henry Chapman, C.B.E., Commissioner of the Rhodesia Di trict, \ ho left on 23rd November, 1938, to take up residence in England. Sir Henry Chapman's work for the sociation and Brigade in Rhode ia will long be remembered with wann appreciation. To Mr. W. J. K. Skillicorn, who has taken over the dutie of Commissioner, I express a hearty welcome. Mr. killicom held the office of Assistant Commissioner in the S.A.R. & H. District previou to his transfer, and is now taking a keen practical interest in all branches of the work in Rhodesia, while Mrs. Skillicorn has been good enough to take over the Bulawayo Nursing Division as Lady Divisional uperintendent. The personnel of the Brigade is rapidly increa ing, and many new Divisions have been formed in the Transvaal, S.A.R. & H., Natal, and e.G.H. Districts. Towards the close of the year the first A.R.P. examination, under the Syllabus and Rules approved by the Departments of Public Health and Defence, was held for members of the Peninsula N ur ing Division at Cape Town, where the e.G.H. District have a large class undergoing A.R.P . instruction. There is every evidence of a big push" in A.R.P. training during the ensuing year. A.R.P. Certificates at 31st December, 1938, were 51 Grade I, 10 Grade II, 11 Grade III. The usual high standard was maintained at the Brigade Annual Competitions for the Selborne " Shield and Alpheus Williams" (Individual) Trophy; the Hewat " Shield, and Florence Thompson" (Individual) Trophy, and the Lady Price" Trophy for Invalid Cookery, which were held in the Ambulance Hall, Durban, on 1st October, 1938. Owing to the serious indisposition of Sir Charles G. Smith, K.C.M.G., K.ST.J., President of the Natal Coastal Centre, who was to have presented the trophies, Mrs. Stanley Copley, wife of the Assistant Commissioner, very kindly presented the awards to successful competitors.

On 14th September, 1938, the Legi lature pa ed an Act known a " The Order of t. John and the New Zealand Red ros ociety Incorporation Act, 1938". This Act tran ferred the whole of the a et then held by the " I ew Zealand Branch of the Brit.i h Red [OS oc~ety and the Order of St. John " to the Joint CouncIl. The ct provIded for the setting up of a "Great vVar Funds Administ~ative Committe~" of the Council to administer these funds.

To attain this object a small committee was entruste.d to draw up a Schedule of Detailed Activities of the Order and of the oClety. The Schedule was adopted by both bodies. The Act provided that " Nothing in this Constitution or Rules shall affect the status of either the Order or the Society, or their respective duties or privileges, and the work or objects of the Corporation shall be carried out in such manner as to preserve the individuality of the Order and the SocietY:' r~sp~ctively, a.nd so as not to interfere with their corporate powers and lImltatIons, or WIth their present activities."

DISTRICT NURSING SERVICE. Activities have been sustained in Auckland, \Vellington, and Dunedin. The Order had planned a very wide extension of this ervice, but in view of the proposals of the Government in its National Health ecurity reports, the Order has not engaged in the furtherance of the proposed development. ORGANIZATION FOR NATIO AL SECURITY. The Army Department has various committees at work, two of which, the Medical Committee and the Emergency Precautions Committee, the Order is specially interested in. (a) The A1edical Committee is engaged in drawing up Regulation for Voluntary Aid Detachments, basing it organization on that of the V.A.D. Council in England. Statute 2 (b) of the Order tates that one of the Objects of the Order is " The rendering of aid to the sick and \vounded in war, and the promotion of such permanent organization during time of peace as may be at once available in time of emergency, including the provision of Technical Reserves for the 1edical ervice of the Forces of the Crown ". The term " V. A. D. " is being used very loosely in thi Dominion, and should be confined to military affairs only. Every member of a V.A.D. must be registered by the Army Authoritie and is i sued a number and a badge. The Nursing ub- ommittee has drawn up its proposed Regulations, but these have not been relea ed for publication. (b) The Emergency Precautions Committee, unlike the Iedical omrnittee, will not be under Military, but under Mayoral control. The Chairman of the Dominion Committee is the Minister of Internal ffairs, the Hon. Mr. Parry, who has issued to the Mayors of all the principal towns of the Dominion a draft copy of the proposals to meet emergency conditions, such as those arising from earthquakes, epidemics, or air-raid. The St. John Ambulance Brigade has an important place assigned to it in these arrangements. The Army accepts responsibility for the training of selected civilian personnel in anti-gas defence, and for the supply of the necessary technical equipment. All other measures are outside its province. In an emergency, Air Raid Precautions will be controlled by the ivil Authorities. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. The Chief Commissioner, Colonel Barclay, reports as follows : ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1938. This year has been one of progress for the Brigade in New Zealand. The membership now totals 5,173 against 4,693 for the year 1937. Twentyfour new Divisions (6 Ambulance, 6 Nursing, 9 Cadet Ambulance, and 3 Cadet Nursing) have been registered. The Annual Reports from Corps and Divisions throughout New Zealand, show that the number of services performed during the year was 85,775, against 71,882 for 1937 and 68,267 for 1936. The cases of First Aid attended to on Public Duty totalled 32,380, against 29,691 for the previous year.

The number of cases of " First Aid attended to NOT on Public Duty" totalled 42,485, against 32,285 for the preceding year. The removal or transport work in which members of the Brigade assisted amounted to 9,146 cases, the figures for 1937 being 8,068. During the year members attended regularly at Ambulance Stations, and when calls came through, went out as drivers or assistants on the motor ambulances. From the records kept by Divisions it is shown that there was a total attendance of 8,939, and that the time put in amounted to 44,401 hours. The excellent service rendered by the members of the Nursing Divisions in the hri tchurch Corps is deserving of special mention. Duringworking hour , when the men are otherwise engaged, the members of these Divisions attend at the Ambulance tation, and go out as assistants on the motor ambulances. .T?~ number of Ho~pital Attendances by members of the Nursing Dl.Vl lOns was 450, agamst 278 for the previous year, and" Cases nursed pnvately by members of Nursing Divisions" gave a total of 1,314, the figures for 1937 being 1,020. .Th~ Cadet work has proceeded satisfactorily, although in several Dlstnct the advance has not been up to expectations, but it is anticipated that 1939 will show a decided change for the better. The need still exists for the services of young men and women who would be willing to act as officers or instructor in our Cadet Divisions. The total number of Cadet Proficiency Certificates issued during the year shows an increase of 207; three Districts have shown an advance on the previous year's figures, while two Districts have fallen back. The number of Grand Prior's Cadet Badges issued during the year amounted to fifty, which represents a wonderful advance. With a view to improving the administration, the Divisions on the \Vest Coast of the South Island have been formed into a Sub-District called the" Westland Sub-District" of the Canterbury District. ' There have been a considerable number of changes amongst the officers of the Brigade, and I again regret having to report the death of a number who have in the past rendered yeoman service for St. John. Included in the number were Captain Joseph Ernest Bone, S.B.ST.]., a former Assistant Commi.ssioner of the Otago District, and at one time the Secretary of the Dunedm Centre; Mr. A. G. Foster, a Divisional Superintendent on the Reserve; and Dr. E. Teichelmann, of Hokitika, a former Divisional Surgeon, ~nd an Hon. Associate of the Order. Colonel C. H.

During 1938 the ervice Medal of the Order was issued to 26 member, while 16 members received Bars for additional service. During the pa t four year, 84 ervice Medals and 73 Bars have been awarded to the Brigade in the Dominion.

During the year the Chief Commissioner inspected the Brigade in the new Ambulance tation in Dunedin, when there was an excellent turn-out of all ranks. He also held an inspection at Christchurch, when 538 members were on parade. On both occasions he was much pleased with the appearance and equipment of all ranks. The new motor ambulance which was built for the Brigade at Oamaru, and which contains the most up-to-date fittings, was dedicated at the local t. John Ambulance tation on the 15th August, by the Ven. Archdeacon Rus ell, Assistant Chaplain of the Order. There was a large attendance, including the 1ayor of Oamaru, the hairman of the \Vaitaki Hospital Board and \Vaitaki County Council, and others, and the service was impre sively carried out. 10 e attention has been given to the arrangements for mobilization in ca e of emergency. Every endeavour is being made to further perfect the scheme, and test mobilizations have been carried out. It i anticipated that during the year 1939 there will be considerable ext~nsion of Brigade activity. It has been hoped that the new year under reVIew would have seen Divi ions established in a number of additional localit.ies, but the failure of the ssociation to pave the way by the e tabhshment of clas es hampered the proposed extensions. Committees ?f entr~s h?-ve now been made aware of the urgent necessity of organizing 111 new dl tncl , and the re ult is awaited with confidence. In conclu ion, I de ire to extend my thanks to the members of the Brigade for their work during the pa t year. The members of the medical profe ion are again de erving of special recognition for their services. It i al 0 desir d to thank the Press, Police, Automobile Associations, Fire B.ri~ade , Hospit~l, Transport, and Education Boards, Municipal authontIe, ports offiCIals, and others for their co-operation and assistance.

It is gratifying to be able to report that the Parades for Di\'ine en'ice, held by the Brigade in commemoration of t. John's Day, w re greater in number in 1938 than in any previous year. uch ervice were held at 22 different places. l\Iembers of the Commandery and representative of the Association were present at many of the e Parades. The Brigade participated in the opening of the new Ambulance building in Dunedin, at which His Excellency the Governor-General presided, on the 29th August last. The new premises v;ill provide accommodation for all the activities of the Order, and will enable the work to be further developed. The erection of an Ambulance tation in Hamilton will a1 0 afford much needed accommodation. Competitions took place during the year at Auckland, Huntly, Hamilton, Wellington, \Vanganui, Christchurch, and Dunedin. adet Competitions were held at Auckland, \\'eUington, and hristchurch. Keen interest was manifested and a high standard of work was shO\VTI. The Otago District is deserving of credit for the work which was done in the establishing of highway patrols and First Aid posts in connection with the Ranfurly Shield football match, which was played at Invercargill on 30th July last. An excellent scheme of patrol wa carried out and First Aid posts were established on the highway. Appreciation of the work has been expressed by the Automobile Association, Government Transport Service, Police, City Council Traffic, and other. Some words of praise are due to the members of the apier Ambulance and Nursing Divisions for the services rendered by them in connection with the disastrous floods which occurred in the Esk Valley at the end of April last. Under very adverse conditions our members carried out work which is deserving of the highest commendation. During last winter, classes of instruction in Air Raid Precautions and Anti-gas Training were carried out in Dunedin with very satisfactory results. As a result of these classes 14 members of the Brigade qualified for the Grade 1 or 2 Certificates. Lectures have also been delivered in several other Centres.

In addition to the good work in Quebec, there has been noted a great desire in all parts of Canada, and particularly in the four ~Testern Provinces, for a knowledge of First Aid. This may be ac~ounted. for partly by the recent war scare, but the increase this year IS certamly not entirely due to this cause. .. ..

In looking back over the last few years it is interesting to note there has been a steady increase in the number of Provincial Branches and Special Centres which show an increase over the previous year. .In 1935 there were thirteen Centres showing a decrease, compared wIth the previous year, and seven showin& an incre~se. . In 1936 there. were eleven minuses and eight pluses; m 1937 SIX mmuses and thlrteen pluses; in 1938 four minuses and sixteen pluses: Our total issue of all awards was 37,808, an mcrease of some 12,323 over the previous year. Nearly 10,000 of the total examinations passed were for the higher awards. Instructors' Certificates were issued to 47 candidates , who successfully passed the required examinations.

General progress in all branches of Association work is reported from Alberta. There has been an increasing interest in First Aid by industry, especially in the mines, and the Workmen's Compensation Board is co-operating in a marked degree. As large areas of the Province are without medical care, and have not the facilities or qualified personnel for emergency treatment, an effort i being made to reach these areas through the school teachers, in the hope that eventually all the people in the outlying districts will have a little knowledge of nursing and First Aid. The Deputy Minister of Education is co-operating with the Association, by including in the summer school courses at the niversity of Alberta First Aid and Home Tur ing classes. Di cu ion is under way with the Provincial Government regarding the establi hment of First Aid Posts on the major Alberta highways, and it is hoped that support will be obtained for this proposal. BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The work of the Association continues to make steady and substantial progres in this Province. Reports were received from 69 communities, in several of which no regular Centres have been organized, as compared with 49 la t year. ix new Centres were organized during the year. Fir t id stations are established at several points in the Province under the joint auspices of the t. John Ambulance Association and the Canadian Red Cross ociety, in conjunction with the Provincial Police. In addition to the three stations previously established two new ones were opened at Yahk and Boston Bar. It is intended to extend this service as financial circumstances will permit, and as suitable persons, who are capable and willing to take charge of new stations where required, can be found and given the necessary training. MA ITOBA.

During the year Centres were established at Flin Flon and The Pas, and have been very active in the work, as have also the older Centres. Men in all the large mines in the north are now being trained, while in the most active one (The Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company) 1,700 men are all expected to qualify for the certificate within the next year or two. Mr. H. E. Sellers generously offered to finance the teaching of complete First Aid courses in the two Normal Schools of the Province, and needless to say the Department of Education and the students enthusiastically accepted. This will have a far-reaching effect in the Province as many teachers will be in rural sections. The University of Manitoba has seventy girls enrolled in the Home Nursing course, and many of them also will become teachers and spread knowledge of the work in other communities.

The Boy couts and Trail Ran ger, I.O.D .E. Chapters and variou church groups are taking training, and it is hoped to how increased results in thi Province another year. JOVA SCOTIA.

There has been an increased interest in Fir t id in all parts of the Province and many more award ha\'e been i ued. Grants were paid to thirteen school teacher for in tructing Junior Classes in their school, and it is expected that thi policy \\ ill be continued but revised to meet present conditions. First Aid Posts were established at everal point, and at the l\O\'a Scotia Provincial Exhibition 256 cases were treated, many of a minor nature. Conferences have been held with the Department of Highways and the Canadian Red Cross ociety with a view to e tabli hing Highway First Aid Posts. Personnel for one i now being trained, and two other are planned. The difficulty is to obtain uitable per onn 1 in the special locations where accidents most frequently occur. The Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation is continuing training and the hard rock mines are becoming interested. It is hoped to establish a Division of the t. John mbulance Brigade in Halifax in the near future. ONTARIO.

In the year under review training in First Aid and Home ur ing was conducted in more communities in the territory of our juri diction and more persons were trained than ever before. The number of industrial and mining companies to give their employees the benefit of Fir t id training was largely increased. \Vork among the women of the Province, both in Charity Classes and through the \Vomen's In titute, was expanded. Home Nursing requires more attention. Our First Aid service on the highways has come to be a growing proportion of our activities. It should be extended, particularly in the northern part of the province, and a second ambulance should be added. It is the policy to base the work of this Association on wide public membership and support. Our membership yet needs broad expansion. Summarizing, despite some adverse factors, and although inevitably much remained that wanted doing, the year 1938 was succe sful, and at the close the affairs of the Branch were generally satisfactory. At the commencement of 1938 there were 30 Highway First Aid Posts in operation on Ontario Highways. During the year it was found expedient to discontinue 6 thereof, and during 1938 there were added new Posts to the number of 19, making a total of 43 Posts in operation at 31st December, 1938.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

and on the same date, at Dunbarton, our First-Aiders saved a person who had suffered a fractured skull and internal inju:ies. . It was felt that, better to acquaint motorist. wlth the 10catlOns and facilities of these First Aid Posts, igns should be lllsta~led ~n the .houlders of the highways, similar to the Government road dlrectlOnal sign, not only at the Posts but one mile distant. This wa done at all Post, at a cost of about $900'00. . , . An experimental innovation this year was the placmg of a Firs.t AId Post, in a specially designed hut, on. the co~ge ted bottle-neck porbon of Highway No. 11 near Richmond Hill. Thl ~o t wa~ op~ned 10th July and closed 10th September, 1938, during whIch penod It was manned from Saturday noon to Sunday midnight each w~,-,k-end ar:d a1 ~ on holidays by two trained First-.Aider. who were pal? for theIr serVIces. (This was the only Post where Flrst AId per onnel rec~lved pay.) lthou~h at a carefully selected site on one of the I?ost.h~a~lly travelled roads III t.he Province, it happened that only 17 mlllor lll)UneS occurred for tre:l.tment.

COMMANDERY IN CANADA.

A First Aid Post was established at Christopher Lake, the first one to be established in the Province, and it is hoped that others will be opened shortly. . In April a meeting of the Saskatoon Branch of the CanadIan Manufacturers' Association requested that the Saskatchewan \Vorkmen's Compensation Board undertake a campaign of Accident Prevention in askatchewan plants. This should help to extend the work considerably in the future, as also the fact that the Provincial 1inister of Education is favourable to the extension of a knowledge of First Aid in all the public and high schools. Of great assistance in bringing this about would be the teaching of First Aid in all Normal Schools. (3)

The year 1938 saw an extremely large increas~ in the number of r:irst. Aiders trained in the Province of Quebec, particularly am~ng J ~lll.or . A very special effort was made to introduce the ~bject ~f Fir t ld lI:t.o the schools, with the result that over 7,700 pupIl receIved the JUlll?r Certificate of the Association. \Vhile the large t increa e took pIa e III this group, Senior Certificates and higher award also showed a healthy improvement over last year's figures. . An All-Quebec Safety Conference was held in 1~38,. and dunng t.he third day of its three-day sessions the Quebec ProvmClal.Bran~h of the Association played an important part and the alue of Fir t Aid to the Community was further emphasize~. . . During 1939 it is hoped that Flrst AId WIll be added to the sc~ool curriculum, and all Centres have been urged to approach the vanous schools, seminaries, etc., with this end in view. SASKATCHEW AN.

The year 1938 may we~ b~ rega~ded as ~me of the banner years of th.is Provincial Branch since ItS mceptIon, an mcrease of 625 bemg shown m our total results. . In Moose Jaw student nurses from the Gener~l a?d Pro.v~dence Hospltal were instructed in Home Nursing and First AId m addItion to a number of industrial and other classes. Saskatoon has the distinction of being the first city in Canada to have First Aid instruction a part of the regular class work of. G~ade VIII pupils, the instruction being undertaken by the School Prmclpals, who themselves qualified last year. . . An innovation this year was the mstructIon of a small cl.ass at the School for the Deaf in First Aid for the boys and Home N ursmg for the girls, as was a class held for Playground and .Paddling Po.ol sup~rvis~rs. It is possible that next year only those holding the CertIficate III FIrst Aid will be granted positions of this kind.

SPECIAL CENTRES.

The various Special Centres have continued to do very effective work and in many cases ha,"e shown a substantial increase over previous years. (4)

TROPHY COMPETITIONS.

There were 130 teams entered in the Dominion Competitions and examined by the Director of Ambulance in 1938, entries for the Mary Otter trophy ha,-ing been eliminated prior to his visit. The l\Iontizambert Trophy, representing the Dominion Championship in Fir t Aid (men), was awarded to the C.P.R. '\ indsor Street Station Office, Iontreal, Quebec, and the Dominion Championship in First Aid (women) went to the Bell Telephone Company, Executive Team, Montreal, Quebec. The Lady Drummond Cup for Home Nursing was again won by the No.7 Nursing Division, St. ].A.B.O., Saskatoon, Sask. The Mountgarret Trophy (Captain's Test) was awarded to Mr. John Barringer, of the British Columbia Electric Motormen and Conductors Team No.1, Vancouver, B.C. (5) LOCAL COMPETITIONS. l\Iany of the Provincial Branches and Special Centres combined to hold local and company competitions which stimulate and maintain keen interest in First Aid.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Five new Ambulance Divisions have been formed, 2 in Vancouver and one each in Fort Frances, London, and Ottawa, and 3 Nursing Divisions, in Victoria, Calgary, and Quebec. The Commandery Commis ioner in pected all Di\'i ion during the year and was pafticularly pleased with the several Corps. The Brigade as a whole, and particularly in the larger centre, has had a good public duty record during the pre ent year. Even the i olated Di\'i ions, such as Owen ound, Peterboro, oni ton, Timmins, and Fort Frances have rendered useful service to the public. Particularly de erving of special mention is this new Division in Fort Frances, which wa commended by the Town Council for its good work during the recent fire in that part of the Country. During the year several courses in Air Raid Precautions training have been held, namely in \Yinnipeg, where twenty Instructor' Certificates have already been is ued and a second course i in progres , in Ottawa, where thirty- ix have recently been examined for the Instructors' Certificates, and in jIontreal and Toronto, where cour e are still in progress. This A.R.P. training i confined to Brigade per onnel, in order that Instructors may be available if and when required.

lIO l'IL\1

The photograph of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen which Their 1ajest.ies graciously consented to sign with their autograph were duly despatched to Jerusalem early in the year, and were unveiled by His Excellency The High Commissioner, Sir Harold l\Iac:\Iichael, at a ceremony held in the Hospital on 11th April, 1938. The portrait. , which are excellent likenesses of Their Majesties, are hung in the same hall as those of Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, King George V and Queen 'Iary, and H.R.H. The Duke of onnaught, Grand Prior. All these portraits of the Royal Family attract the pecial interest of vi itors and of the thousands of patients who pass through the hall. COMMITTEE.

The ommittee met regularly, as usual, once a quarter. It has suffered a severe 10 through the death, at the end of December, of Mr. H. E. Garle, to who e family it extends its deepest sympathy. It also wi hes to record its deep sympathy with Sir Edward KnappFi her on hi prolonged illness, together with its sincere congratulations on the honour (c.v.o.) conferred upon him by His tJ:ajesty The King in the New Year. It. al 0 record with keen satisfaction the award to Colonel S. Monckton opeman, T.D., F.R.S., etc., of the Gold Medal for 1937 by the International Faculty of ciences for his noteworthy contributions to science. HOSPITAL PERSONNEL.

THE HOSPITAL AS IT IS ATPRESE T SHOWING ITS GROWTH FROM I TS SMALL BEGINNI NG .

Dr. K. M. Budeiri, the Registrar, was unfortunate enough to incur a serious illness which precluded him from duty for several months. During his absence your Committee approved the temporary appointment of Dr. Hamadeh. Dr. Budeiri was sufficiently recovered by the autumn to resume duty. Miss Simpson, ecretary to the Hospital, resigned in J anuary, and her place has not yet been filled . Mr. C. F. Wolfe, of the Government Treasury in J erusalem, has voluntarily rendered most valuable service to the Hospital by assisting the Warden in the administration of the accounts and in other ways. Your Committee gladly records its appreciation of Mr. Wolfe's services in this regard. The Certificates earned by the seven Palestinian Nurses, scheduled in last year's R eport, have now been all presented.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.

REPORT.

Your Committee learnt with deep regret of the tragic death of Sister G. 1. R. Starke, who was drowned while sailing on the ea of Galilee on 28th February, 1938. There occurred on that day a .s~orm of exceptional violence, and the boat in which l\Ii.s tarke wa smlmg was capsized. Every effort was made by her compa:r:uon to rescu~ l~er, but. the height of the waves and the strength of the wmd ma~e t~1 Impo Ible. Her body \vas brought to Jerusalem, where he wa buned, m the pre ence of the Warden and many friend, in the Protestant emete~y . As a ursing ister Miss tarke had rendered most valuable erVIce to the Hospital since her appointment in 1935, and ~er .los ha be n greatly felt. Your Committee has extended to her famIly m ew Zealand and to the ""Varden and taft of the Hospital its deep sympathy at h r early and tragic death, and in the loss thu u tained by ,:11 who kne:v her. Miss Starke's place has since been taken by ~h 1. D. ,MIllma~, a wellqualified Nursing iter, who has had. several year expenence at Moorfields. Miss Millman took up her dutIes on 17th March. rc

LEAVE . The Warden, Sub-Warden, and btron took lea\'e at yarying intcn'alduring the spring and summer. They all vi ited t. John's Gatc, and conferred with the Hospitaller and the Honorary ecrclary on maHeL connected with the Hospital. . . The vVarden attended an important meetinO' of the BUlldl11g . ll~ Committee on 29th eptember, but, owing to hi ' dcparture ady 111 October, was precluded from attending the quartcrly m tin~ of thc Hospital Committee. . . Late in December the :i.\Iatron was glVcn'pecml lea\' to rclnrn to England to attend a special course of in truction in .. R.P. for trained urses with a view to obtaining the Home O[flCC crh1}calc. TABLETS. The Tablet to Commemorate the vi it to the Ho pital in 1928 of H.R.H. The Princess Royal, which wa completed in Malta under the personal supervision of the Chevalie.r. cic.luna, M.~.E., K.ST.J., ha been temporarily retained in Malta. C~ndItIOns m Palestme were unfortunately not sufficiently propitious for Its despatch to J erusa]em before the end of the year. A smaller tablet recording the fact that Lady Strickland, D.B.E., D.ST.J., was the donor of the tablet, has al 0 been executed in Malta. The two tablets will be forwarded in due cour e to Jerusalem, and will be placed in a suitable position in the Ho pital. . Another tablet has been approved by Chapter-General also for executIOn with a view to its being placed in the Hospital. This is to commemor~te the visit of His Grace the present Archbishop of Canterbury to Palestme in 1931 the first visit of an Archbishop of Canterbury to the Holy Land since that of Baldwin, who died at the siege of Acre in 1190. His Grace has agreed to the design and the wording of the tablet, which it is hoped may be completed and despatched to J er~sa]em early in th~ New Year. It is intended that the Arms both of HIS Grace the ArchbIshop and of Baldwin, together with the Arms of the Order, will appear on the tablet, of which the inscription will be as follows : -

THIS TABLET IS PLACED BY THE CHAPTER-GENERAL OF THE VENERABLE ORDER OF THE HOSPITAL OF ST. JOH~ OF JERUSALEM TO COMMEMORATE THE VISIT TO THE HOLY LAND IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1931 OF THE MOST REVERE D COSMO GORDON LAJG 97TH ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY PRELATE OF THE ORDER. THE LAST OF HIS PREDECESSORS TO MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE WAS ARCHBISHOP BALDWI WHO DIED AT THE SIEGE OF ACRE IN 1190 A.D . R egarding the de ign and workmanship of these tablets, your Committee gladly acknowledges the voluntary assistance given by Chevalier H. P. cicluna, M.B.E., K.ST.J., Librarian of the Royal Library in Malta. T. J OHN'S DAY ERVICE. As has now become customary, a celebration of the Holy Communion wa held in the subterranean hurch of ~Iar Hanna (St. John) Prodromo in the 1\1uristan on t. John's D ay. Archdeacon Stewart was the Celcbrant and there was a full attendance of members of the Order and their friend. Thank are due to the Acting Orthodox P atriarch for his permission to u e this Church for the Order's Annual ervice. PAYIXG PATIENTS BLOCK. lthough, a' tated in la t year' Report, the appeal for funds for the n w block, sanctioned by H.R.H. The Grand Prior, was closed at the end of 1037, further contribution have ince been received, and the total collected up to 31st December, 1938, is £10,886 15s. 5d. To this may be addcd a further sum of £2,000, carried forward from a previous appeal, a promi c of £500 towards equipment of wards from the Ladies Linen Guild and two special donations amounting to £185-making a total of about £13,500. The Income and Expenditure Account on p. 29 only covers the period ending 30th eptember, 1938. Owing to pressure of official business, the Honorary Architect in J erusalem, 11r. Percy ""Vinter, O.ST.J., was reluctantly compelled to di continue hi work in connection with the plans for the new building. After consultation with the ""Varden and 1\1r. Keith Roach, C.B.E., K.ST.J., the District Commi ioner for J eru alem, your Committee appointed 1\1r. Benjamin Chaikin, F.R.I.B.A., as the architect for this project. ~Ir. Chaikin has produced plan \'\'hich, after careful scrutiny by the Building ub-Committee, have been approved with certain modifications by the Hospital Committee. These plans provide accommodation for paying patients, quarters for resident House urge on and nurses, and a physio-therapy Department. There will also be provided a boiler house, and ~torage and laundry rooms. The e latter have for long been urgently reqUIred, and the present occasion afforded an opportunity of providing them at a much lower figure than if they had been built independently. !~e estimated cost of the new block is £13,500. This is higher than was ongmally anticipated, the reason for the increase being mainly due to the c?ange .of. site. The site finally selected, which adjoins the main HospItal bUIldmg on the south side, is undoubtedly better than either

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.

R EPORT.

of the two alternative sites considered previou ly, but the steep lope on which the new block is to stand involves heavier expenditure in foundations and in other respects. Moreover the estimate of £13,500 is for building alone, with certain acce orie, and does not include Architect' and Quantity urveyor's fees or the salary of a lerk of the \Vorks, nor does it allow for any equipment or furniture. It is calculated that the total cost, including the e items, will not fall short of £22,000, so that a further sum of £8,500 is required if the new block i to be completed as planned, and adequately equipped. Your Committee has given very seriou consideration to thi maUer, and has come to the conclu ion that to lower the co t by reducing the accommodation would be most un de irable and in the nd uneconomical. Some reduction of cost could be made by omittin a, temporarily or permanently, certain parts of the plans; but not more than £3, 00 could thus be saved, and the omi ions in que tion would eriou I affect the efficiency of the Hospital as a whole. If added later on, a. undoubtedly will have to be the case, the eventual outlay will be con iderabl ' greater than the saving now made by their omi sion. Your ommittee i therefore of opinion that, however difficult it may be to rai e the balance of £8,500, it would not be ju tified in beginning work until t1le whole sum is collected or promised. The Government of Pale tine, to whom an appeal for a sistance has been made, is prepar d to gi,- the matter sympathetic consideration, but up to the end of the year no a uran of a grant had been received. Indeed, it i very doubtful if the Palestine Government will be in a po ition, owing to the pr ent financial stringency, to approve any substantial grant in the coming fi cal -ear. Nevertheless your Committee is confident that the mone will b rai cd in due course, and that those who have upported the lIo pital . 0 generously in the past will agree that the object in view i worthy of a supreme effort on the part of all concerned. But in any ca_ the building could hardly be begun until political condition, which have affected Palestine so adversely in recent years, and especially in 193 , improve considerably. It is clear, therefore, that until your Committee can be a ' ured of the deficit being covered and of the situation in Pale tine howing definite signs of improvement, the projected building cannot be b gun. \Vhile reaching this decision with the greate t regret, the Committ e believe that those who read this R eport will agree with the view expressed, and that to begin building, either before the total amount i assured or before there is a prospect of peace in the Holy Land, would be to court disaster.

VISIT OF HOSPITALLER TO JERUSALEM.

•

The Hospitaller paid a short but very full visit to Jerusalem in April. His main obj ct was to confer on the spot with the Warden and the Architect regarding the plans of the new block. The conferences, at which Lord Lytton, who happened to be in Palestine at the same time, was able to lend his valuable assistance, resulted in plan being amended and de patched to London, which with minor adju tments have been approved by the ommittee. \Yhile in Jeru alem the Ho pitaller vi ited \iVatson House and trathearn Hou e, to which ref rence is made in a later paragraph, and found both in excellent order. The disturbed condition of the country unfortunately precluded him from visiting, in the company of the vVarden, the Ophthalmic Clinic maintained by the Government Department of Health and taffed by nurses trained at the Hospital. Lord Lytton also vi ited ypru, ,,,,here the Governor drew his attention to the « Princess Royal Charitable Fund for combating eye disease in the I land. Your Committee, on hi motion, recommended, and ChapterG neral approved, a donation from the Order to this fund of £10 lOs. JJ

INVESTITURE.

On 11th April Hi Excellency The High Commissioner invested four Officer :Member of the Order. The gentlemen invested were: Captain R. Murray, the Black \Yatch; Lt. The Hon. C. H. T. Cumming Bruce, eaforth Highlander; Ir. . N. Johns, Department of Antiquities; Dr. J. \Y. P. Harknes , O.B.E., Department of Health. The ceremony took place in the Out-Patient Hall of the Hospital in the presence of about 150 ladies and gentlemen, many of them I embers of the Order. In the unavoidable absence of the Bishop in Jeru. alem, a Sub-Prelate of the Order, Archdeacon tewart acted as Chaplain. After the Inve titure th IIospitaller invited His Excellency to unveil the autographed portraits of Their Majestie , and an autographed portrait of Her l\Iajesty, Queen Mary, the latter presented by the Ladies' Linen Guild. Hi Excellency then proceeded to the Annexe where he was invited by the Earl of Lytton to unveil the two shields of Field-Marshal The Viscount Allenby and Field-Mar hal The Viscount Plumer, both Knights of Justice of the Order. The Warden and Lady trathearn then entertained the company to tea in the Annexe.

ANNEXE.

Certain improvements to the Annexe are also being taken in hand. Plans have been prepared and are now being considered for the erection of a veranda on the roof, adjoining the caretaker's flat, with open arche on two sides, which will serve as an open-air room for the caretaker and his wife. The accommodation at present provided has for long been regarded as too cramped, and the addition will serve a useful purpose. It is also proposed to surround the Annexe with a stout iron fence, with a gate on one side facing the road. Funds sufficient, it is hoped, for these purposes have been earmarked for some time, and it is intended to carry them out, wholly or in part, in the near future.

EXCHANGE OF LAND.

The contemplated exchange of one plot of land for another adjacent to

~he Hospital was carried out during the summer, thanks largely to the

mtere~t . and as istance rendered by Jilr. Keith-Roach, District CommlsslOner of Jerusalem, and his principal Arab Assistant, Nessuhi Bey B~ydoun. In this connection your Committee wishes to place on recor~ Its keen appreciation of the support so consistently given to the HospItal and to all that pertains to the Order, both in Palestine and in Engl~nd~ by Mr. Keith-Roach . It wi hes at the same time to convey to hIm Its congratulations on his e cape from injury on the three

contributed £74 3s.-a pronounced increase compared with 1937, which is to be attributed to the interest in the work the Hospital is doing, now that it has become better known. The Commandery of C3.nada, whose contribution arrived too late to appear in the accounts for the current financial year, has transmitted through the Hospitaller, Lieut.-Colonel Raymond M. Gors line, D.S.O., O.ST.J., 510.14, or the equivalent in terling £109 9s. 8d. The Deputy Hospitaller in Queensland, Captain E. R. G. Pike, has collected £5-t.he first official remission from Australia in upport of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Jerusalem. Lady Strathearn, our Hon.

The furniture and eqmpment of the Ho pital remam fully insured but the ri k of damage by fire to the building, which are entir ly of ston~ or concrete, is thought to be negligible. HAIM MARCO BESSO BEQUEST. The sum of £200 was received from the High ommi ioner by t.he Warden, being part of the Haim Marco Be so beque t " for th~ ?ene~l and assistance of the poor in Palestine". Th~ money was uhlI~ed 1.n extending ophthalmic work among the poor dunng the .s~asonal epIdemIc of acute conjunctivitis by the employment of an addillonal doctor and subordinate staff, and in the extension of the provision of frce meal to those out-patients whose nutrition wa so low as to prejudic recovery. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OVERSEAS. Your Committee would again express its thanks to the Over ea Commanderies of the Order for their valued recognition of the work done in the Holy Land so intimately connected with the foundation of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of J erusalem. From New Zea!and the Hospitaller, Mr. C. J. Tunks, M.B.E., K.ST.J., has transmItted £52 l5s. lld.

LADIES LINE GUILD. . The Ladies Linen Guild is unflagging in its efforts to find the Hospital 111 every kind of domestic equipment and so save your Committee from a heavy financial burden which otherwise it would have to carry. At the end of the year under review, the Hospitaller received a letter from the Honorary ecretary of the Guild, promising the sum of £500 towards f~rni hing the wards of the Paying Patients Block. This munificent gIft, which signalizes in a very pecial way the support so consistently offered by the Ladies Linen Guild over a long period of years, is keenly appreciated by your Committee, and ha been most gratefully accepted. Ir: addit~on to many and various routine supplies the Hospital has rec~lved thIS year, through the affiliated Ladies Linen Guild of Canada, SL'X wh~te metal bed-side lockers to match those already given previously, whIch are such a feature in our wards.

The year under review witnessed an intensification of the civil disorders throughout Palestine. This is strikingly illustrated by the casualty list; wherea in 1937 the total casualties numbered 240, in 1938 there was a startling increase to over 3,700 victims of whom about 2,000 were killed and over 1,700 were wounded. It is obvious that the military operations and the severe traffic restrictions would greatly interfere with the normal flow of patients to the Hospital. In 1937 the restrictions had the curious effect of greatly reducing the number of peasants attending whilst at the same time leading to a marked increase, relative and actual, in the number of town people attending from not only the J erusalem area, but from Jaffa and Haifa. But in 1938 the restrictions and the danger of travel led to a further diminution of ordinary traffic culminating at the beginnina of ovember, when the military order requiring the po e ion of an identit.y card and a travel pa s came into force, in a virtual ce alion. By fortl1itou circum tance this period of quietness in the Hospital work occurred during a y ar when, at one time or another, the three memb rs of the surgical taff as well as the Matron were absent either on home leave or ick. Ordinarily this would have led to a serious and unjl1 tifiable di location of the work; but with the exception of a period of three month in the early ummer (when only one surgeon was a ailable for duty) all the patient who came to the Ho pital received adequate attention. Further, a the result of a welcome and unexpected donation from the Trustee of the Be 0 Bequest we were enabled to obtain the ervice of a surgeon a locum tenens throughout the seasonal epidemic of acute conjunctivitis in the mid and late summer. The number of new patients seen during 1938 was 14,115 and the total con ultation 79,019. The number of patients admitted to Hospital was 766 and the number of operations performed 1,814; this total includes 374 intra-ocular operations, of which 188 were for cataract. There were 672 operation for the relief of trichia is; most of the e eyelid operation were done on out-patients. During most operations local ana:sthesia i preferred, but for yarious reason a general ana:sthetic was administered in ~5~ case. Th~ average duration of stay in Hospital was 14· 6 days. T~lIS lS ~nduly hIgh, but wa mainly occasioned by the difficulty of dl chargmg patients when, for military reasons, traffic was suspended. ClaSSIfied according to religion, of the new cases 10,584 were Moslems; 3,191 were Christians and 340 were Jews. Of the total consultations 64,884 .wer~ 10slef!1s; 1.2,847 were Christians and 1,288 were Jews. Cons.ldermg. the m~en Ity of. the Arab-Jewi h antagonism the number of J eWIsh patIent~ still attendmg ~he Hospital is remarkable; the more so when one consIders the great dIfficulty experienced in getting Jewish workmen ~o come to the Hospital to effect repairs, etc. Owing to the lack of skIlled ~rab workmen these repairs and alterations have to be left undone until normal conditions are re-established. The incidence .of. trachoma amongst the new patients was ~7' 67 p~r cent. ThIS IS very low although rather higher than last year; m 1936 I~ was 93 ·4 per cent. Unfortunately and as stated in last year's report t~IS betterment is t~ be expla~ed as the result of the temporary change m the type of patient attendmg the Hospital. The prolonged

civil strife has cut us off, to a large extent, from the densc Arab population of the numerous villages of the plains a well as tho e of t.he Hebron, Nablus and Jenin areas; the e rabs are almo t 100 per cent trachomatous, and their places in our out-patient department have been taken by the much Ie s heavily infectcd inhabitants of the J eru alem area. It it recognized that trachoma i a ocial dia c a ociated with a backward civilization and impoverished livin a condition and 0 the apparent improvement in the incidence of trachoma i no more than a restatement of the well-known fact that trachoma i Ie common among t the town people than amongst the pea ant . \"hil ton thc subject of trachoma it i of interest to note that the recent wave of therapeutic optimi m that has arisen as the result of the u e of the ulphaniJamide<; in t.h t.rcat.ment of the hcemolytic streptococcal infections, etc., has reached our 'pecialit.y also. The use of the e ulphonamide preparation in the treatmcnt of trachoma is being tried out in our clinic. '0 far we have been agreeabl surprised at the marked and rapid impro\Temcnt (both 'ubjective and objective) that has taken place after a comparativcly hort period of treatment. Amongst our patients thi eem to be mo -t marked in th mixed infection trachomas; orne of the e ca e , not oriou. h' re i tant to all the recognized forms of local treatment, have improy ci mark dl) under sulphonamide administration. Its value rna lie in the pccdy eradication of the accompanying mixed infection (tr ptococcal and staphylococcal) that accompany mo t ca e of trachoma in Pale Line. Even this is a great ga~n although it has yet to b prO\'cc1 t.hat t.hes preparation have any permanent curati,Te effect on an uncomplicatcd virus infection of the conjunctiva. Of the 14,115 new cases 1,2cJ:l were « blind" in one ye (8' pcr cent) ; 336 were « blind" in both (2' 1 per cent); and t.he number of indi\Oidual" who were « blind" in one or both eye wa 1,377 (11'2 pcr c nt). A in previous reports the term" blind" include not only thc tota11 ' but also the economically blind; this latter category includes tho ~e who c vi ion does not come up to the admittedly low tandard of vi ion r ckonecl a' 1h ability to count fingers at a distance of one metre. The following tablc shows the incidence of this degree of « blindnes. " since Hl20 : -

Once again it has to be admitted that owing to the disturbances and the temporary influx of out-patients of a higher social scale these figures are not quite comparable with those of the preceding years. However, and apart from this, there has been some improvement owing to the lessened severity of the seasonal epidemics of acute conjunctivitis which has resulted from the wettcr winters. To return to a consideration of the causes of « blindness" in the 1 913 eyes recorded, the following table is appended : '

I?edu.cting from this list the ca es of cataract (359)-the blindness whIch 1 almost always curable by operation-there remains a total of 1 ,55~ irremediably blin~ eyes. ~t \~ill be noted that 1,156 (59 per cent) were blm.ded a a result, direct or mdIrect, of acute conjunctivitis. l nder !he. headmg" econdary glaucoma" are included only tho e cases which :t IS rea .onable to believe might have been cured by timely surgical mterventIOn. Of the 104 recorded ca e of injury resulting in blindness 38 were under the headin a " occupational or indu trial"; the remainder were due.mainly to injuries sustained during quarrelling. !he ram of. the wet ~ea~on, 1937- 1938, were above the average, and ~hlS co.upled WIth a low mCldence in the infectious diseases rate resulted m a mIld e.aso~al epidemic of acute conjunctivitis. The total number of cases of thIS dIsease treated in the Out-Patient Department, includng the Annexe, was 3,477 a compared with 6,785 in 1937. Of the 3477 case: o.f acute conjunctiviti 2 6 (8· 3 per cent) were complicated ~vith ulceratIOn; the 'percentage rate of this complication in 1936 was 18 ~er c~n~,. and ill 1935 (the year of the very evere epidemic of acute conJ unctIvltI ) was 21 per cent. The number of cases of ulceration that went on to ~erforation of the eyeball was 78, a ratio of 27 per cent as co~par~d WIth 36 per cent last year, and 49 per cent in the severe epIdemIC of 1935. In the ~nnexe clinic-where the acute conjunctivitis of infants and young chll~ren onl:y receives attention-there were 1,624 cases a corr:pare<:i ,:",~th 3,394 m 1937 and 4,602 in 1935. Of the new cases of acute conJunctIvItIs amongst infants and young children 87 (5 per cent) were co:np~icc:ted with ulcera!ion .and 23 (26 per cent) went on to perforatIO~, m the severe epIdemIC of 1935 the ratio of perforations to ulceratIons was 45 per cent. The two factors at work to account for the low incidence in 1938 were the great preponderance of town people attending and the fact that locally and throughout Palestine the epidemic of this year was fortunately

a mild one. This is further illustrated from the statement t.hat the number of parenteral injections (raw mi~) given ~a only 52; thIS form of t.reatment we use in all severe cases In otherwise healthy and well noun h~d children. It may be of intere t to observe her.e that ophthalmIa neonatorum (any acute conjunctivitis arising d~lnng the fir t ~hree weeks of life) i so rare among t the. rab of Pale tIne a to be practically unknovvTI. In the Hospital economy the cloi ters of the nnexe erve a a " madafeh" (an Arab gue thou e) for the ~helter ?f out-patien.t who have come from distant villages; the parents of chIldren a.tten.dmg the Annexe clinic also make a temporary lodging there. Ordmanly the e inmates are responsible for their own maintena?~e and are. not fed fr?m the Hospital unle s they are "ery poor and debilItated. Thl ear, OWIng to the traffic restrictions, some who were able to get th-:ough could not always arrange their own food. supply. F~I~t~nately 1111 year we w~re able to make good this deficIency by utIlIzmg part of the donatIOn received from the Trustee of the Be 0 Beque t. The total number of . free meals given was 3,098. In the main Out-Patient Department over 1,300 patlents \~cre tc ted for refractive errors and 819 prescriptions .for glas e ':Terc &IVCn; ~he remainder either owing to the presence of Irregular a tigmati (\\'hl~h is very common in trachomatous countrie ) or to other condltIO~1 .dId not show sufficient visual improvement to warrant a pre cnptIOn. Amongst the cases examined were Army and !tir Force pcr onncl .(1. I.") and 34 respectively); Trans-Jordan F ron her F orcc, .1 ~; B n tl h (including Government officials), 168. T~~re wer~ 2 6 Palc ,tIman 70YCrnment officials and employees; 21 Bnhsh PolIce, and 60 monk. and nuns (European). In the X-ray Department 30 photographs were taken. Of thes 13 showed intra-ocular foreign bodie which were localized by thc we t apparatus. Four proved to be ferrous and wcre succc fully cxtracted by the Giant Magnet. . . R adium therapy was used In the treatment of :1 ca e of pnnrr Catarrh 4 cases of basal celJed carcinoma of the eyelid, and 2 ca es of epitheli~ma of the limbus of the eyeba~l. It is obvi?us that th~ form of treatment is time absorbing and reqUlre much lulled attentIOn; and it is capable of considerable extension which we hop~ to ~e able ~o do when the long-promised physio-therapy department IS bUllt, eqUlpp.d and staffed. Meanwhile, in ray therapy work as well as elsewhere In the Hospital, we continue to be indebted to the skilled. hclp and advice of our Honorary Radiologist, Dr. vv. E. Thompson; It gIves me much pleasure to place on record my high appreciatio? ?f his services. . Owing to the civil strife and the traffic res~~Ichons the ophthalmIc clinics of the Department of Health were not VISIted. Two Governm~nt trained and certificated nurses (Zahiyeh Fawal and Ashkheh Ohannessian Halaby) attended the prescr~bed course of. ophthalmic nursing.. T~e~e nurses, after one year's satIsfactory serVIce at an ophtha~mlc. clImc supervised by the Hospital, will be eligible for the OphthalmIc DIploma of the Order. No Government medical officer was able to attend, but two Church Missionary Society doctors (Dr. and Mrs. \Vest,. of Es Salt) received a short course in ophthalmic treatment and operahve work.

:r:

During the past year, when for various reasons we have been unable to fill the vacant post of Secretary to the Hospital, Mr. C. F . \Volfe, Assistant Treasurer to the Government of Palestine, volunteered, in his spare time, to take entire charge of the financial side of the Hospital including the drawing up and presentation of the monthly financial statements, etc. The medical staff have been relieved of an uncongenial and irksome ta k; but for Mr. \ ;Volfe it has obviously been a labour of love. \Vc are all much indebted to him. For the first time in the history of the Hospital we have to record the death of a member of the British staff. Sister G. 1. R. Starke, whilst on local leave, was accidentally drowned in the Sea of Galilee. Bv her tragic death her colleagues were deprived of the companionship-of a blithe and joyou pirit; and the Hospital and the Order suffered the loss of an excellent servant who had won and retained the respect and devotion of the patients under her charge. La Oy, my best thanks are accorded to all the members of the staff for thcir service during nerve racking times; but especially to the ub-\Varden, Dr. \Vren; no one could wish for a more loval or more helpful colleague. ~ ( igned) JOH...

Report

Committee for

1938.

The past year has seen an increased interest in the work of the Lin~n Guild, and during all the difficult times in Palestine it has been a r hef to the "Varden and Lady Strathearn to know that their requirements in the way of linen and other domestic necessities for the Ho pital are . . being steadily supplied by the Linen Guild. The outstanding event of the year has been the maugurabon of the Ladies' Linen Guild of the Commandery in Canada which, with H.M. Queen Mary's sanction, has been affiliated to the Headq~art~rs' Linen Guild. Our Canadian colleagues have already proved theIr WIll to help on the good work for the Hospital by collecting the substantial sum of £50 which has been expended on supplying six more of the stainless steel bedside lockers which have been so much admired in our wards. They have the Badge of the Order attached and a label below states the names of the donors-in this case" The Ladies' Linen Guild of the Commandery in Canada." We extend a very hearty welcome to our new Overseas Linen Guild fellow-workers. H.M. Queen Mary has again shown her real personal interest in the Guild by sending a written message to Lady Tweedsmuir, the President of the Canadian Branch of our Guild, expressing her satisfaction at the

formation of a Canadian branch, and also by the gift of four more cotcovers made by Her Majesty which are so highly prized in the Hospital. A further sum of money has been added to our Deposit Account and your Committee now finds itself in the happy position of being able to carry out its ambition of offering to furnish and equip the new wards for Paying Patients in the new Block which is waiting to be built. Your Committee, therefore, has written to the Hospitaller of the Order asking him to accept the sum of £500 from the Linen Guild for this purpose, and a grateful and most appreciative letter has been received from him acknowledging and accepting what he terms our "magnificent grant in aid n. mong the special gifts this year the Duchess of utherland has again provided four dozen strong pillow-cases; the Marchioness of Normanby, 50 yards of brown Hes ian; the Lady Plender, kitchen cloths, towels, and dusters; the Yiscountess Hereford, 180 yards of white calico; the Dowager Duchess of Grafton, 12 yards heavy ca ement cloth; Lady Mulleneux-Grayson, towels for theatre and Annexe; Mrs. Upton Prior, towels and pillO\v-cases; the Hon. Lady Henn-Collins, 12 coloured bathtowels; the Countess of Lindsay, 100 yards of mattress ticking; ]\Irs. Hickman Morgan, rolls of material; the Viscountess Elibank, 12 caps [or Pale tinian nurses and Miss Ie Coq, her annual gift of shawl. There have al 0 been gifts of eye-shades, shawls, material, and money from many other member, including Mrs. Graham, Miss Byrne, Mrs. Thorne, 1r. Bartholomew and the Harrow Nur ing Division. The complete list of requirements submitted (including the above) i given below, every item of which has been sent to J erusalem. In conclu ion, your Committee would again thank all those whose continued support enable it to upply our Hospital with everything necessary for the carrying on of the work in which it is engaged in the Holy Land. I should like to add a personal word of thanks to Mrs. \i oolrych Perowne for all she has done, especially during the last two year , when I was not well, to relieve me and help in every possible way. Her work as Hon. ecretary has been no sinecure and the success of the Linen Guild owes much to her efforts. 17th January, 1939.

PROPERTIES OF THE ORDER.

R eport on the

Properties of the Order in the Old City of J erllsalem. (1) T he Mur i ta n . The site which is known by the name of "Muristan" -a PersianTurkish word meaning Hospital, and first given to this site, it is said, by Saladin-occupies an area to the south-east of the hurch of the Holy Sepulchre, and is separated from it by a narrow street known as Haret el Dabbaghan or Street of the Tanners. It is bounded on the outh by David Street, on the west by Christian Street, and on the east by the Suq al Lahhamin or " Malcuisinat " of medieval times. It was within these boundaries, on the ruins, it may be, of a hostel built by Charlemagne, that the pious merchants of Amalfi in 1048 erected their two hospices for the protection and care of pilgrims, one for men and another for women, thus founding the Order of the Hospitallers. During the period of the Latin Kingdom of the Crusaders from 1099 to 1187, the site was covered with the buildings of the Hospitallers. It may thus be said to have been the cradle of the Order. Little now remains of the buildings except the foundations, some of which have been excavated and are visible to-day. Part of the site was presented in 18G9 by the Sultan to the then Crown Prince of Prussia (afterwards the Emperor Frederick of Germany), while the remainder was taken over eady in the present century by the Greek Convent of the Holy epulchre, and is now built over with shops. In 1925 the Order purchased, with the strong moral support of the Palestine Government and largely owing to the efforts of 1\1r. KeithRoach, C.B.E., K.ST.J., then District Commissioner of Jerusalem, and of the Warden, part of the site from the German Religious Order to whom it belonged, at a cost of about £2,600. Later, a smaller strip was also purchased for about £1,000 from the Germans and the Greek Orthodox Church, so as to round off the property of the Order. Unfortunately sufficient funds have not as yet been forthcoming to make practical use of this historic site. It is suggested that a " Hospitium" might one day be built here, with an approach from David Street on the south side, through an existing arch in the old market. The Hospitium, for which sketch plans have been prepared, would include accommodation for members of the Order and their friends visiting Jerusalem, with a Refectory, Library, Common Room, and Chapel. Such a building, designed on traditional lines in keeping with its character and with its position in the Holy City, would be a worthy memorial of the Order and of its historic connection with the site from which it originally sprang. The site is at present empty, except for an old and rather unsightly hovel, but it is surrounded by a wall, part of which has had to be rebuilt

during the year at a cost to the Order of £50. Investigations are proceeding with a view to obtaining a few original stones of the Crusaders' period for transfer to the Commanderies in Southern Africa, New Zealand, and Canada, to be utilized in those Dominions in connection with any headquarters that it may be proposed to erect.

(2) 'Vat on House. This building on the south side of David Street was bought by the late Lady \Vatson, a Dame of Grace of the Order, and occupied by her for many years. It has a fine view on one side over the Muristan site and of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and on the other of the Dome of the Rock and the l\lount of Olives. Ten years before her death she made over the house to ~he Order, retaining only her life tenancy, in memory of her husband, SIr Charles \Vatson, as a memorial to whom a finely inscribed plaque was placed by the Order on one of the walls. Lady \Vatson, who died on the last day of 1936, lamented by all who knew her, and \~hos~ work on behalf of the Order and especially of the Ophthalmic Hosp~tal 1 too well kno\~ to need repetition here, expressed the wish that It should be used eIther as accommodation for the Medical Staff or Nursing isters of the Hospital, or as a Dispensary to be administered by the Order for those suffering from eye disease. The house.is situated too far from the Hospital to be used suitably as accommO?aLlOn for Nur ing isters, or indeed for any of the Staff of th~ ~osp~tal, all of whom must necessarily reside either in the Hospital bmldmg Itself, or as near as possible to it. The first alternative was therefore regarded as impracticable, and the second alternative with s?me modification, was adopted by Chapter-General. As the acco~oda ~lOn for an eye-clinic would not require more than two or three rooms It was considered best to utilize the rest of the building as a Baby Welfar~ Centre to be administered. by the Department of Health. The Department had long been anxlOUS to transfer the existing Centre from its present quarters, and a mutually sati factory arrangement has been made b~tween the Order and the Palestine Government, whereby the latter will pay a rent of £150 a ye.a~ to the Order for the temporary lease of \iV~tson H~~sc. The Eye-ClImc ha been equipped by the Order, but i bemg provislO.n~ly administered by the Department of Health. The Eye-ClImc at \V~tson House should prove beneficial to the many poor.o.f all ages suffenng fr0IIl: eye disease in the Old City; and by prov~dmg treatment nearer theIr homes to those living within the walls It WIll to some extent relieve the congestion of out-patients at the Ophthalmic Hospital. The Baby \Velfare Centre, so ably conducted by the Dep~rtment of Health, has already proved of immense value to the c~mmumty, and by its transfer to the premi es at Watson House it WIll undoubtedly be able to offer better facilities than heretofore. (3) Strathearn House. This. house, which adjoins Watson House, was purchased by the ?rder m 1~34 for £1,500 as a training school to provide accommodation ~r Arab. gIrlS from the vill.ages, with a view to their instruction under U~ auspIces. of the Warde.n the el:mentary rules of First Aid, Hygiene, me Nursmg, and SamtatlOn, WIth the ultimate object of stamping

out preventable blindness in Palestine. The experiment proved successful, but in April, 1036, on the conclusion of its second session, the school was closed. "The Warden reported that he found the strain on the staff, combined with the work in the Hospital, too great and recommended reluctantly that the experiment under its present auspices should be given up" (Report for 1936, page 8). The wall along the street front fell down in the year 1937 and had to be rebuilt with an improved entrance at a cost of £80. Neither the general situation in Palestine nor the continued pressure on the Hospital Staff appears to justify the resumption of the scheme at present, and the building has therefore been reconditioned and leased to the Palestine Government as a billet for British Police at a rental of £150 a year. The name" Strathearn " has been given to this house by Chapter-General in honour of the present Warden of the Hospital and in recognition of his services to the Order during a period of over 20 years.

STRUCTION.

The total number of certificates issued in England, Ireland, and \Yale shows an increase of 25,360 on last year's total, as follows : First Aid (Male) First Aid (Female) Home Jursing (Male) Home Nursing (Female) Home Hygiene ( Iale) Home Hygiene (Female) Sanitation Cookery Priory for Wales

The abnormal increase is due in part to the Factorie Act or 1937, whereby every factory employing more than fifty per ons i reC} uired to provide and maintain a First Aid Box under the charge of a r spon ible person trained in First Aid. A further cau e for the increa"c will be found in the response to the Government's appeal for yoluntcers under its Air Raid Precautions Scheme. In this latter connection, Go\'ernment classes have again been noticeable in large numbers, while it ha al-o been satisfactory to observe that a number of large firm , such as elfridge, l\Iarks and Spencers, Boots' Stores, and the like have been prominent in the organization of classes for their employees. According to returns so far received from Centres overseas, and taking an average in the case of those Centres which have not yet sent in returns, the number of certificates issued overseas is as follows : 1938.

During the year it was decided to alter the style of the Certificates. Previously these were signed by Surgeon Instructors and Examiners and, in the case of Centres, by the President and Centre Secretary in addition. In place of these signatures those of the Director of Ambulance and the Chief Secretary now appear.

As a temporary measure it was decided during the year that three lectures per week in anyone subject may be held provided they take place on alternate as distinct from successive days; the regulatIon that no two courses of instruction be held or attended concurrently was also withdrawn temporarily. OVERSEAS CLASSES.

Priority of mention amongst the overseas classes must be those of }lalaya, where the expansion of the activities of the Association are due almost entirely to the efforts of the Chairman of the Centre, Dr. J. . \Vebster, O.13.E. Consequent on the tour of the Chief Commissioner of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, to Ea t Africa, a beginning has been made in Tanganyika-c?mmitt.ees having been formed in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanga, and Mwanza, WIth a VIew to the subsequent formation of a Centre of the Association in Tanganyika. Classes for Goans and Indians have been held in Uganda and a committee has been set up in Entebbe. There has been an increase of activity also in Kenya. The vi it of the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief of the St. J ohn Ambulance Brigade O\'erseas to Jamaica has also revived interest there. There is an increase of activity in Trinidad and also in British Honduras and the Bahama Islands. It would be invidious to pick out for special mention any of the existing overseas Centres, for all of them appear to have had a busy year. The activities of the A ociation within the Commanderies in Canada, New Zealand, and outhern Africa are mentioned in the Reports submitted by the respective Directors of Ambulance at pages 26-30. REVISION OF THE FIRST AID TEXTBOOK.

The revision of the First Aid Textbook was completed during the:> ear and published in January. It has met with a very favourable reception. The revision of publications dependent on the First Aid Textbook has also been completed or is in progress. FIRST AID COMPETITIO

MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

With the opening of 34 new Depots during the year, there are 86 working under the Priory, by means of which a total number of 9,439 articles were issued, an increase of 1,823 on 1937. This welcome expan ion of a valued service has been rendered possible by the Grant from the Special Areas Fund, successfully negotiated by the South \Vales and ~10nmouthshire Council of Social Service through its Health en'ices Committee and particularly the honorary services of Mr. James \Valton, who interviewed Officers-in-Charge and Depot Committees in the various localities, exercising infinite tact in arranging for the adoption of the conditions of the grant. Great credit is due to the Brigade personnel for the readiness with which they have undertaken the onerous duties involved

in the maintenance of Depots, comprising attendance at definite hours daily for the issue of articles, responsibility for the return of equipment, the carrying out of proper cleansing and disinfection; and the keeping of accounts and records. MOTOR AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

This Department has undertaken the removal of 140,783 cases, involving a total mileage of 2,275,929 during the twenty years' service completed in 1938, the number of cases carried and miles travelled in the past year being 18,761 and 312,994 respectively, an increase of 520 cases and 10,754 mile on the figures for 1937. The number of ambulances was increased last year to 21 by the opening of a new tation at Clydach-on-Tawe in August, for a trial period of twelve months; and the encouraging measure of support from companie and employees in the locality augurs well for the permanence of the tation. Towards the end of the year the Priory acquired an ambulance service formerly operated in the Glanamman district for a number of year b' a local proprietor, all the subscribers having transferred their support to the Priory scheme. Two new ambulances were added to the fleet, while general improvements in connection with construction and equipment carried out on cars already in commission added to the reputedly high standard of efficiency. A further grant of £1,000 made towards capital expenditure by the Central Committee of the Miners' \Velfare Fund on the recommendation of the Joint ommittee for Monmouth hire and South \i\Tales is gratefully recorded. The stations are rendering a co-ordinated day and night service and high tribute of prai e are frequently received in respect of the comfort of the cars and the friendly efficiency of the whole-time dri\'ers qualified in First Aid who man them.

The is ue of the 39th edition of First A id to the InJ'ured, and the rush for ambulance instruction stimulated by the September cri is, contributed to a record year in the sale of First Aid textbooks, which rose from a total of 4,024 in 1937 to 10,556 in 1938, while 4,740 A.R.P. handbooks were sold. Ext~nded payment terms are now allowed to Brigade Units on orders for umform; and although a sum fluctuating around £300 is outstanding,

there is no reason to anticipate that the repayments will not be continued with customary diligence. A stand at the Grey Friar Hall, Cardiff, allotted to the Priory by the Promoters of the outh '\"ales Engineering Exhibition, attracted a number of new customers for first aid outfits and dres ings, the ale of which increases annually. THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The following is extracted from the Report of the ommandery:ST. JOH l AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION. A perusal of the summary of the awards is ued during the year under review shows that most Centres of the A sociation have con iderabh' improved on the preyious year's figures, with the result that the currenvl year shows another record of progre ,which is extremely gratifyin a . The total awards i sued numbered 8,977- 1,2-16, or 16'07 per cent, above the total awards for the previous year, and 9'12 p r cent of th e latter figure shows the approximate increase in Brigade re-examination. There is a slight decrease in thi year's figure for Adult and Preliminan' Home Nursing Certificates, but there is an increase of 170 in the i_ ue Adult First Aid and 314 in Preliminary Fir t Aidertificate. The initial awards for the current year are 344 ahead of the preceding year-· an increase of 6'95 per cent, thus bringing the grand total of award issued in this country to a creditable figure of 101,565. To those who have laboured so as iduou ly in our in tructional work and especially to all Officers of Centre and Centre Committee, I expre 5 my cordial thanks and appreciation. The eighth annual meeting of the Ambulance Committee \\'Ll held in the City Hall, Durban, on 30th eptember, 1938, \vhen I pre ided over a representative attendance of delegates from Centres of the A sociation and Districts of the Brigade throughout outh Africa. Centres w~re advi. ed that The 10st Reverend Dr. J. R. Darby. hire, Lord ArchbIshop of Capetown, had extended hi Patronage to the St. John Ambulance Association within the Commanderv. The original St. J ohn poster has been brought up to date and, depicting the South African Brigade Uniform, these po ters are now available, in both official languages, for Association and Briaade purpo e . The Afrikaans translation of the latest (39th) edition of the official textbook, "First Aid to the Injured," has been in circulation for some months; it has been greatly welcomed by Afrikaans-speaking member, and should materially help to increase our membership during the ensuing year. His Excellency The Knight Commander very graciously contributed a Foreword to this valuable addition to our instructional books; His Excellency has also contributed a Foreword to the Preliminary First. id :JIanual, which is in course of translation. The Home Nursing Manual is in process of translation into Afrikaans, and it is hoped to follow in due course with the Junior Nursing Manual. The usual First Aid Course now includes instruction on the treatment of persons suffering from gas poisoning, and the preventive measures to be adopted by the personnel in rendering First Aid to such cases.

Peter Fraser, invited the Order to conduct First Aid classes in all the Primary and Secondary chools of the Dominion. rrangements were made through the Education Department, the Education Boards, and the Headmasters of the econdary cho01, to carry out this important work. The instruction is based on the textbook A Preli111,i1wry Course of First Aid to the Injured, and teachers throughout the Dominion have expres ed their gratitude for the help given. Through the generosity of the Knight-Commander, Sir R. Heaton Rhodes, the Head of every school in New Zealand was presented with a copy of the textbook. Nearly 2,500 Schools were communicated with. The Education and Health Departments have recognized the Agreement entered into with the Tew Zealand Red Cross Society, that the instruction of First Aid and Home Nursing to the public is the exclusive work of the Order of t.

The Annual l\leeting of the Commandery-Chapter, followed by an Investiture, was held at Government House, Ottawa, on 25th l\Iay, when His Excellency the Knight-Commander presided. A letter of sympathy was sent by the Knight-Commander to the owaaer uche of Devonshire, expressing the sympathy of the Commander), in her bereavement, and their appreciation of the great service rendered to the work of the Order in Canada by the late Duke of Devon hire. GENERAL.

The work generally has shown a marked increase during the year, an increase that may be considered abnormal, and in a way rather difficult to explain. However, much of the increa e is due to the acti,"ities in the Province of Quebec, where through the energetic \ ork of the ecretary of the Provincial Branch, First Aid has been introduced into the Frenchspeaking schools to such an extent that it might be con idered almost a compulsory subject. The 7,876 Junior Certificates issued in thi Province account for over half the increase for the year. In addition to the good work in Quebec, there has been noted a great desire in all parts of Canada, and particularly in the four \Ye tern Provinces, for a knowledge of First Aid. This may be accounted for partly by the recent war scare, but the increase this year is certainly not entirely due to this cause. In industry, the great benefits derived from First Aid trainin a are so apparent that our work has been correspondingly increa ed, and i.n many companies the one hundred per cent standard is aimed at where previously only a few key-men have been trained, i.e. Hollinger, Lake S~o:e, and Pamo,:r Gold Mines in Northern Ontario; Hudson Bay Mmmg and Smeltmg Co., Flin Flon, Manitoba; Consolidated Mining and Smelting Companies in Trail and Kimberley, British Columbia; and companies such as British Columbia Electric Motormen and Conductors, Bell Telephone Company, and all the Police bodies. Many other companies might be mentioned where each year a considerable number of men are trained, and where the ultimate aim is the one hundred per cent standard. The Hospitaller and Almoner's Report shows that during the year ~585 · 00 was subscribed to the work of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Jerusalem by fifty-six members and friends of the Order in Canada. The Linen Guild in Canada, of which Her Excellency The Lady Tweedsmuir is President, has, with H.M. Queen Mary's sanction, been

BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

INSPECTIO S OVERSEAS. Touy Of Ceylon, f1.1alaya, and Blmna, by The Hon. f1.1rs. CoplandGriffiths.

It is with great pleasure that I have to report the completion in April, 1938, of a most succes ful tour of Ceylon, l\Ialaya, and Burma by The Hon. Irs. Copland-Griffiths, C.ST.J. Some indication of the remarkably fine effort made by 1\1rs. CoplandGriffiths on this tour is afforded by the following Ii t of the place vi ited : ingapore, Ialacca, Tampin, Seremban, Kuala Lumpur, ungei, iput, Penang (in lalaya), Rangoon, Mandalay, Moulmein, Ba ein (in Burma), Colombo, Badulla, Galle, Kandy (in Ceylon), and Bomba (India). The position regarding the Brigade OYer eas in ylon 11a been that for many years the Ceylon Police has represented the only Brigade members-fortunately with an outstanding appreciation of the need for ambulance service and with admirable efficiency. On two occasion the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, Irs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R. C., D.ST.J. ,_ paid an official visit to Ceylon and did her utmo t to arou_e intere t in nursing service, but Ceylon remained from 1915 without a ingle Tur ing Division until my official visit in 1937. l\Ieanwhile a mo t di a trou epidemic of malaria had decimated the population and many hundred had died whose lives could have been saved had we po e ed a ufficienc of Ambulance and Nursing Division. It was clear that the nece ity could brook no further delay, and with the valuable help of the In pectorGeneral of Police-Po N . Banks, E q., C. T.J.-l "va able to ucceed in starting towards training a European ur ing Di vi -ion. At Singapore, too, I had found the need mo t urgent, for thi mo t vital strategical Centre had, at the time of my vi it, not a ingle ambulance or nursing division. Here also I succeeded in stirring up pll blic inter t , being largely helped by Dr. J. S. \Vebster, O.B.E., C.ST.J., who had fought valiantly in our interests for so many year. In Burma also I had found, in 1937, but one Ambulance Divi ion and not a single Nursing Division in the whole country. In all tropical countries such as these three it is notoriou ly difficult to stimulate interest owing to the extreme heat, and alth ough it wa clearly essential that something should be done in the matter of ambulance service, the task was indeed formidable. Further, with the whole of the Empire to cover it was clearly impossible for me to remain until ambulance efficiency had been attained. On my return to England I therefore hoped that the Lady Superintendent-in- hief would find it possible to proceed to Ceylon, Malaya, and Burma where her experience and great keenness would have proved of enormous value. Most unfortunately she was unable to do this-acting upon medical advice- but providentially the Hon. Mrs. Copland-Griffiths consented to perform that most difficult task; defraying her own expenses and carrying out a full programme with conspicuous ability as the Representative of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief. A full report of Mrs. Copland-Griffiths' remarkably fine inspectional tour has been printed and issued. All that it is necessary for me to add is that the visits we had both paid to Ceylon, Malaya, and Burma proved singularly opportune for the riots in Burma made a heavy call upon T

the services of the members of the newly-formed Ambulance and Nursing Divisions, while the crisis of September, 1938, made it clear t~at ambulan.ce service was an essential to a civilized country. In tropIcal countnes particularly it may be said that e:rery trained c:mbulanc.e worker treats at lea t seven injuries a year, while the mortahty rate m. extreme heat being great, it is not far-fetched to say that they sav.e a hfe ~very year. There(ore the fact that these tours resulted in a great mcrease. m strength must remain a source of great comfort to those who perforrr:ed them and to those others who were mainly responsible for the formatlOn of Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. It is but ju t to :\Irs. Lancelot Dent's fine record to add that-prevented as she had been from proceeding to Ceylon, Malaya: and Burma on account of the climate- she yet succeeded in completmg a tour of the \Vest Indies where she did much to stimulate interest in our work as a consequence of which I am hopeful that Divisions of the Brigade Overseas may eventuate.

T OllY oj East Africa, ~IIalia, Gibraltar, Aden, the South African P orts aJld t. H elena by the Chief Comnl,issioJler. Leaving England in December, 1937, I paid my third official visit to Gibraltar where I found great progress had been made. Next came the fir t official vi it by a Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas to :M alta for although I had touched there twice during the past fou~ yea~s and performed duty there, it had not been a. lengthy st,:~. Here m thIS ancient home of our Order I found a most satIsfactory spmt of ambulance service, while the formations proved most efficient. I received the utmost kindne from H.E. The Governor, ir Charle Bonham-Carter, R.C.B., C.M.G., D. .0 ., LL.D., K. T.J. , Lieut.-Colonel A. J. Gatt, O.B.E., M ..C., K.ST.J., and from all our many supporters th~re . . Then came my third official visit to Aden, where steady progress IS bemg made largely due to the support of H.E. The Governor and the untiring efforts of the Hon. ecretary of the Branch of the Associatior:, r..!r. A. Bh~tt, B.A. On arrival at Iombasa I was met by the Dlstnct Supermtendent of the Kenya Di trict of the Brigade Overseas-R. C. A. Cavendi~h, Esq., C.ST.J., who is also the Commissioner of Police. Mr. CavendIsh takes the greatest interest in our work and he ~ad arranged the whole of my tour in East Africa with the utmost effiCIency. Both at Mombasa and _ airobi I was to witness the high standard of ambulance work on the part of the Kenya Police and the employees of th~ ~ailways and Harbours, while the international situation made my VISIt so opportune that I found the greatest interest being shown in our work by the Indian, Arab, and African population also. As a consequence I wa~ able to fO.rm .a branch of the Association at Mombasa, and a CommIttee at NaIrobI, while-thanks largely to Mrs. Cavendish- this vi it. help~d towards the formation of the fir t Nursing Division of the Bngade m all East Africa; one formed, for the most part, from among the wives of Kenya Police Officers. From H.E. The Governor downwards I was offered the most generous hospitality, and H.E.'s interest in our w?rk proved ~ost valuable. As in Ceylon and Zanzibar the greatest credIt must be glyen to the Police in Kenya, for it has been the fine example set by them

in ambulance service which has now resulted in this increased interest in our work. Later I was to fly back to Nairobi from Dar-es-Salaam at the invitation of the Kenya Government, in order to advise upon A.R.P. measures-a fine compliment to the Order. My last duty before leaving Kenya was to visit the survivors of the Abyssinian refugee now comfortably established at Isiolo, although there are only some 6,000 of the 14,000 who started the flight. I was next to visit Uganda, where I found the Uganda Police, under Captain E. G. Fish, and the employees of the Railways and Harbours very efficient in their ambulance duties. Here al 0 H.E. The Go\' rnor was taking a great interest in our work, and thanks very larg ly to Dr. W. H. Kauntze, C.M.G., and the Hon . Mr. H. R. Hone, a Branch of the Association was formed at Entebbe, and several cla se started for European, Indian, Arab, Goan, and African. Defraying as I was from my private purse the whole expenses of this official tour on land, I felt justified in yvedging in a big-game photographic tour of thi wonderland of game; being so extremely fortunate as to see no Ie s than 82 lion, thousands of elephant, and almost every other kind of African game life. In addition I addressed the House of Parliament of Buganda, stressing the need for an expansion of ambulance service throughout Uganda-an address which was warmly received by the African hi f present. I was now to have the unique experience and most difficult of all La ks, namely, visiting a Colony in which no form of ambulance ervice has ever been introduced-Tanganyika. Cros ing the Victoria 'anza I commenced my visit to Mwanza. From here down to the coa t I wa to do my best to establish branches of the Association and to direct interest towards the formation of Ambulance and ur ing Divi ions. It was a task done in great heat with people for the most part quite unfamiliar with the benefits of such service, but I was recei,'ed rno t "varmly by European, Indian, Goan, Arab, and African, and e pecially by the Medical Officers, so that one feels that certain of the seed sown will bear fruit in course of time. At the capital-Dar-e - alaarn-I succeeded in forming a committee and establishing a branch of the A ociation, while I was fortunate in getting the Commissioner of Police, -;\lajor F. . B. Nicoll, O.B.E., to promise to introduce our Brigade system into his fine Police Force-always the first and best step to take in ambulance pioneering effort in tropical countries. At Tanga also I succeed d in forming a Branch and starting First Aid classes. Having later flown back to Nairobi, and attended further mcetings there, my next pleasant duty was to visit Zanzibar, where I received the utmost kindness from H.E. The British Resident, J. Hathorn Hall, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C., and our Divisional Superintendent, A. 1. heringham, Esq., O.ST.]., who has been mainly responsible for the very smart and efficient body of Zanzibar Police who are also members of the Brigade. My return journey was made via the South African Ports at each of which (Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town) I held a conference with our splendid helpers. I found that very great and valuable progress had been made in our establishments in South Africa since my visit, and the presentation of the Mandate in 1936, a large part of the credit for which belongs to our Commandery Commissioner T

there, and the Commandery Staff Officer who had accompanied me from Durban to Cape Town-Mr. A. M. Anderson, O.ST.]. There still remained another place to visit, and here again I was able to break new ground, for at St. Helena, thanks largely to H.E. The Governor, the Hon. H. G. P. Pilling, C.M.G., I was able to form a committee and to plant the seeds of ambulance and nursing thought. I arrived back in England in May, 1938, after one of the most interesting, if actually the most tiring, tour of all those paid during the past four years. It is one thing to meet people familiar with the necessity for ambulance service, or to inspect efficient Divisions under equally efficient Officers, and quite another to try and persuade those unfamiliar with ambulance service of its necessity, for during the whole Tour of East Africa, the only places in which our Divisions existed had been I airobi, Kampala, and Zanzibar-spots in an ocean of humanity and in a country parts of which are unhealthy or which contain dangerous animal or reptile life. The total tour was 26,133 miles; making 169,445 miles of travel on t. John service since 1935, having visited South Africa, Rhodesia, Au tralia, lew Zealand, Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, India, Burma, Ceylon, ingaporc, Pcnang, Hong Kong, Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, Zanzibar, and t. Helena. Following l\Ir . Copland-Griffiths' great success on her tour, I was very plcascd to recommend her appointment as Assistant Lady Superintendentin-Chief of the Nur ing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, and this appointment was made in July, 1938. :\Irs. opland-Griffiths again left England in December, 1938, for an exten ive tour of India, and advance reports received from her indicate that she ha been most enthu iastically received, and has been able to do much tmvards encouraging the formation of Nursing Divisions. She is accompanicd by Ii l\Iavrojani, who is acting as Honorary Secretary, and I would express my sincere thanks to these ladies for havin rr at their own expcnse undertaken thi arduous duty, the results of which I have every confidence will be outstanding. RESIG ATIO OF LADY SUPERI TENDEr T-IN-CHIEF. I regret very much that in November, 1938, Mrs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., D.ST.] ., found that he could no longer continue as Lady Superintendent-in-Chief and Chapter-General was reluctantly compelled to accept her resignation. Mrs. Lancelot Dent had been Lady Superintendent-inChief of the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas since 1921, and during the seventeen years during which she held that rank, has performed invaluable service for the Brigade Overseas. ]vIrs. D ent has visited Canada, outh Africa, Southern Rhodesia, India, Ceylon, and the vVest Indies, and the contacts she has made and the example she has set has proved of great value following her tours. Mrs. Dent will also be r~membered for the kindly hospitality and help which she placed at the disposal of overseas members visiting this country, particularly during the Centenary Celebrations of the Order in 1931, and the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in 1937, and I know I speak for all members of the Brigade Overseas in expressing my own personal regrets that her service with the Brigade Overseas has ended.

she was able to do much to encourage the formation of ursing Divisions of the Brigade, as she found the First Aid and Home Nursing teaching was spreading in all directions, following my visit there in 1937. Since these visits, t.he growt.h of the Brigade in Burma-under the leadership of The Hon. 1\1r. Justice Ba U-has been nothing short of remarkable. At the beginning of 1938, there was but 1 Ambulance Division in existence, but. uch was the keenness and interest of those responsible that by the end of the year, 18 new Divisions had been formed, bringing the total to 9 Ambulance and 10 Nursing Divisions. The members of t.hese Divisions quickly had to undergo the ordeal of performing public service on a large scale, for they were called out for duty in July, 1938, during the riots in Rangoon, and they are to be congratulated on the way in which they maintained the traditions of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. They did work of extreme value, and performed Fir t Aid and Re cue work during the riots and the fires which followed, often carrying out their duties in extremely difficult and dangerous circumstances. The Chapter-General of the Order has recognized the e servic by the award of Votes of Thanks on Vellum to the Burma Di triet of the Brigade Overseas. CA ADA. The Brirrade within the Commandery in Canada continues to make steady progre ,as shown by the formation of 7 new Divisions during the year. A feature of the Public Duty performed by the Brigade is that at the week-end ki-ing in the Laurentian Mountains, where the six First Aid Po. t e tabli hed will hortly be increa ed. During t.he year His Excellency the GO\'ernor-General inspected the \\,innipeg orp. :Jly la t vi. it to Canada was in 1929, when I inspected ambulance and nur ing divi ions of the Brigade Overseas, and visited Victoria and Vancouver in Briti h olumbia, Calgary, Banff, Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto. l\Iy ho t on that occa ion was Brigadier-General Sir Henry Pellatt, and it i with deep regret that I learnt of hi death, for he had done much to further the \vork of the Order. CEYLON. The Hon. Irs. Copland-Griffiths visited Ceylon in March and during her stay visited many places on the Island, and was able to be of great help to tho e interested in First Aid and Home ursing. I am happy to say that two Nul' ing Divi ions have since been registered. These are the fil~St. ~ur ing Divisions to. be formed in Ceylon since the original Nursing DlvlslOn became defunct 111 1915. It i with regret that I have to announce that during 1938 the Assistant Commi sioner in charge of the Ceylon District-Professor F. O.'B. Ellison- left Ceylon on retirement. His place has been taken by Dr. D. D. . OutschoOTI1, one who has consistently rendered most valuable service. The Ceylon Police Corps again added to its strength, and its members have attended to numerous ca es of accident and sudden illness.

CYPRUS. Although there are as yet no Divisions among the civilian population in Cyprus, the Cyprus Police Divi ion continues to do much useful work. The membership has increased this year to 83. GIBRALTAR. I am pleased to be able to report that since my three vi its to Gibraltar there has been an awakened intere t in First Aid and Home Nur ing, as a result of which 2 ur ing Divisions have been formed and there i ever hope that Ambulance Divisions may be registered shortly.

Those who serve the Brigade in Hong Kong de erve the highe t praise for the magnificent work they have done during mo t anxious and strenuous days. In addition to their normal work in Hong Kong and the ew Territories, their work has been enormou ly increased by the tremendous influx of refugee into British Territory and Hong I\ong itself. Some of their work has been carried out under trying condition, including danger from Bombing Raids near the frontier. The Brigade has also been extremely active in training ils per.onnel in A.R.P. and in lecturing and demonstrating to the general public. The heavy calls made upon our member has demanded a large increa e in strength, and proof of the value of our work and the appreciation of the residents in Hong Kong is to be found in the fact that thi re ponse habeen most generous. No part of the Brigade can have been tested more highly during the past three years than that at Hong Kong, and my gratitude and appreciation goes out to the Commis ioner, 1\1r. Alfred 10rri. , C.ST.J. , and the Lady District Officer, Mrs. R. Langley, a.ST.J., and all their Offic rs and other ranks who have served so splendidly and so well in the direct relief of suffering and in bringing comfort and hope to de pairing refugees. As one who was privileged to witness some of this work, and a one who visited Canton in the earlier stages of the J apanese- ino conflict, I can perhaps appreciate better than most the excellence of these services. INDIA. By the formation of 27 new Divisions (19 Ambulance and 8 ur ing) India has taken a big step forward since my visi~ in 1937.. . An interesting anniversary in 1938 was the SlIver JubIlee of the Parsl Nursing Division in Bombay. In connection with this an~ivers~ry a Health Exhibition was organized and was opened by Lady \'hles, WIfe of Sir Gilbert \Viles, Assistant Commissioner of the No. 3 District of the Brigade. During the 9 days of the Exhibition it was visited by over 50,000 visitors from Bombay and suburbs. I was glad to see that the All-India Competitions were held this year. They took place at New Delhi where a record number of 99 teamsrepresenting 500 competitors-took part; some from as far away ~s Karachi and Calcutta. The trophies and prizes were presented by HIS

Excellency The Viceroy, and the competitions were also visited by His Excellency The Commander-in-Chief. Public Duty was performed during the visit to Lahore of Their Excellencies The Viceroy and the Marchioness of Linlithgow on 27th October. KENYA. My tour of Kenya was very extensive and proved most encouraging, for. alth~ugh. there were no Ambulance or Nursing Divisions of the Bngade m eXIstence, apart from the Kenya Police Division, I found there was a growing interest in First Aid and A.R.P. work. 1 spent from 5th to 27th February touring Kenya and later, at the request of His Excellency The Gov rnor, 1 paid a return visit to discuss A.R.P. problems. I am glad to say that the first Nursing Division ever to be formed in Kenya has been registered at Nairobi. The Kenya Police Division continues to grow in strength, and its members are well maintaining the keenness and efficiency which has cO.me to be e~pe~ted of them. During my tour, 1 visited the camp at I 1010 for EthIOpIan Refugees, among whom the Kenya Police have done excellent work, without which large numbers of refugees would never have reached safety. MALAYA. Malaya, like Burma, has been the scene of a remarkable revival in ambulance acti\·ity. ~Vhen I vi~ite~ 1alaya in 1937, 1 found that in this vitally strategic po~nt of the EmpIre, the.re were no Ambulance or Nursing Divisions of the Bngade at all, and.1 dId my best to arouse enthusiasm. My visit was followed by one thIS year by Mrs. Copland-Griffiths, who travelled in ral~ya .rrom. 5t? January to ~th February, and performed magnificent sernce I~ bnr:g~~g to the notIce of many hundreds of people the need for ur mg Dl\'1 lOns. I am glad to say that as a result of these visits and the out tanding work of Dr. J. S. Webster, O.B.E., C.ST.J., 16 Divisions were formed in 193~, an~ there is now a membership of over 500, most of whom are already m umform, and all of whom are reported as showing great enthusiasm. MALTA. I.was pleased to be able to spend from 10th to 19th January at Malta dunng my tour, and to find the members of the Malta District keen and efficient. ince then 3 new Divisions have been added to the strength. NEW ZEALAND. The Brigad~ in N e\~ Zealan~ has again had a year of steady expansion, and. has carned out ItS mamfold duties with its usual high efficiency. D~n~g the year, 14 Adult and 12 Cadet Divisions have been registered bnngmg the t~tal of Di~isions within the Commandery to 168 Adult and 114 Cadet, a hIghly credItable strength, and one reflecting great credit on the C~mmandery Commissioner-Lt.-Colonel G. Barclay, O.B.E., K.ST.J.and hIS Officers and Members. .

rough and boggy country-and also in the rescue and relief work among the inhabitants of the stricken area. A census of the duty being performed at sports grounds throughout New Zealand on Saturday, 25th June, revealed that 853 members were on duty, who treated 1,726 cases. SOUTH AFRICA.

Captain A. N. Cahusac, M.e., Staff Officer to the Chief Commissioner.

The work of the Brigade within the Commandery in outhem Africa maintains its very high standard, and has increased its strength by the formation of 15 Adult and 11 Cadet Divisions during the ear. The Brigade performed splendid work on the occasion of the Centenary Celebrations of the Voortrekkers, which took place from 12th-19th December. Over 70 members of the Brigade (mostly drawn from the South African Railways and Harbours Di trict) were on duty for the whole of the period of the Celebrations, and during that time treated nearly 1,500 cases, of which 45 had to be transported to ho pital. Many letters of appreciation of the work performed, and the high tandard of efficiency and conduct of the members have been received. The Brigade has also been called in to assist in the removal of patient from the Somerset West Hospital to the new Groote chuur Hospital at Capetown. As stated elsewhere in this report, I visited the oastal ities of outh Africa in 1938; I found the utmost efficiency in exi tence. UGANDA.

Here, as in Kenya, I found on my tour of this year, that there are no Divisions of the Brigade, apart from the Uganda Police Division, which i performing splendid service. I found, however, that there is a growing interest in First Aid and Home N ur ing, and I was able to encourage the teaching of these subjects. ZANZIBAR.

The Zanzibar Police Division has reported many cases where members of the Division have performed excellent First Aid work dUling the year. I was very struck during my visit with the high ambulance efficiency of this fine Police Division. In conclusion, I should like to convey to all Officers and Members of the Brigade Overseas, my sincere appreciation of the loyal services performed during the year, and to offer them my congratulations on a record of work and progress which shows they are performing invaluable service to the communities of the British Commonwealth of Nations, at such a most important and critical time.

in charge of the

outh Wales District,

reports : During the past year, which was one of the most strenuous since the Brigade was founded, the members have been called upon to do a tremendous amount of voluntary work, which I am pleased to say was ably carried out by all ranks. For the part played by the Brigade during the 150th Anniversary Celebrations a very appreciative letter was received from the late Sir J. M. Dunningham, Minister in charge of the Celebrations Committee. The duties in connection with the celebrations are given under a separate heading in this report. For the information of those who do not know the activities of the Brigade, let me briefly outline some of them : 1. Staffing Casualty Rooms on Beaches and Pleasure Resorts. 2. Attendance at ports Grounds, Picture Shows, Skating Rinks, etc. 3. Attendance at all general Public Functions, and State Processions in the City. -!. Training in Air Raid Precautions. In addition to the abo\'e, the members of the Brigade undertake duties in the Casualty Departments of the ydney and Royal Prince Alfred Hospitals, whilst the ~ Tursing Divi ions this year commenced duties on Occupational Therapy at the I<.oyal • Torth hore and Prince Henry Hospitals and at Cannonbury, Darling Point. The presence of our members on all big occasions is undoubtedly a safeguard to the general public, and many lives must be saved annually. A great deal of organizatIon IS necessary to en ure the attendance from 200 to 300 members for duty each week-end and on PublIc Hohdays with the necessary First Aid requirements. It has been estimated that oyer a million casualties have been attended since 1902, when the Brigade was first formed in Kew South \Vales. I must express agalO my appreciation to the Officers and members for their ever ready as'1 tance and for the great amount of work performed by them during 1938. The strength of the Brigade at the end of December, 1938, was : 15 District taff 9 orps taff Divisional Surgeons 39 Divisional Superintendents 30 32 Ambulance Officers . );: on-Commissioned Officers 100 773 Privates . 998 Nllrsing Divisions. Corps Staff 3 Divisional Surgeons 2 Divisional Superintendents (\Vomen) 22 Ambulance Officers (" Tomen) 27 Ambulance Sisters 4-!3 523 Cadet Divisions. Cadet Surgeons 15 15 Cadet Superintendents Cadet Officers . 7 Cadet JC.O.'s . 12 321 Cadets

370 Grand Total

1,89 1

All members of the Brigade are V.A.D.s, and in case of rational Emergency would be placed at the disposal of the Commonwealth Department of Defence. As regards the male members (1,000), all have been trained on R.A.M.C. methods, which includes Drill, Discipline, First Aid, Hygiene, anitation, and Air Raids Precautions. There are ~ufficient fully trained men to form 2 Field Ambulances, a Casualty Clearing StatIon, and a Hygiene Section for services in any part of the Commonwealth.

At the 'taJf School it is our first duty to teach young officers Brigade Duties, and as far as is possible WIthout actual practice to send them away ready to take up any Dn:islonal appuwtment suitable t.o their rank, and experience which they may be selected to fill. \\'hat we have aimed at. in thi re pect i to give them a sound foundat.ion upon which they can bmld after they leave and eventually acquire t.hose many and , 'aried attainment which are essential to Brigade efficiency. Every graduat of the chool, hanng acqull d a theoretical knmdedrre of Brigade dut.ies, should, from gracluatlOn onward, t.urn his thought. t.o the practical application of It. omparatively speaking, It. IS quite an easy matter to ama s a certam amount. of knuwledge at. pracllc. The errors they may have committed when carrying uut school routine ha\'e had no more erious eiIect than to subject their work to cnt.icisms by the Instructional 'laff, but when they leave and ha,'e to perform these duties in a practical manner the result of a mi take may be considerable. Therciore, we t.ress the fact to each and every canLlitlate that as officerand non-commi sioned officer of the Brigade they cannot aiIord to make the slightest error. During the forthcoming year it is my intention to introduce Anti-Gas Drill and Air Itaid Precautions IeLhods as part of t.he chool curriculum.

It is also intended to establish an .C.O. training unit in each of the Corps. These units are to be maintained as permanent recruiting centres, where recruits can be trained in First Aid and Home ursin g in combination with other es:;ential Divisional routine. The period devoted to recruit training in these centres will count as the required Brigade probation and every recruit drafted from this unit to a Division will be attached to that Division's strength without delay. In concluding his report District Officer Kubig specially draws attention to the added interest and support given to him and the staff by all Superintendents and mbulance Officers of the Brigade. These officers, by permitting graduates of the School to display their newly-acquired knowledge, stimulated the application of that knowledge and fostered a desire for improvement among the junior members which had a marked effect during the last Annual Inspection. It is the earnest desire of the Instructional Staff that every Private in the District should hold the qualifications of a Corporal or Sergeant, this indeed would be the ideal standard of efficiency, and a goal to be aimed at. . The examination results for the year were as follows: - upenntendents, -!; Ambulance Officers, 1; Sergeants, -!; Corporal, 12; Ambulance Sisters, 13 (Squad Drill). My sincere thanks are tendered to Mr. Kubig, for the great pro arc s he ha made in assisting the Brigade to higher efficiency, and to the exammers Di ·trict Officer K. Hayton and S. L. Parsons, for their contmued help. AIR RAID PRECAUTIO ·S.

Members of each Division have attended courses of lectures m Air Raid Precautions. Some have qualified as Instructors in the work, and have given excellent service in training their own members, and also in inst ru ctmg large clas es under the National Emergency Scheme. Many are assisting the St. J ohn Ambulance "\ssociation in providmg instructors in First Aid and Home Iursing.

I must, however, record my warm appreciation of the work carried out by. the Cadet Officers through the Metropolitan Area. Although of course matters have lmproved, we must not rest on our oars but ever seek to make progress in all branches. This only can be achieved by the happy co-operation of all concerned in the true St. John spirit. . Badge Sectioll.-The uperintendents have met regularly ?urmg the year and arranged a system of appointments of Inst:uctor~ an? Exa~lllers and a c?mp.lete record of same, also a uniform method of lmpartmg lllstruchon and exaffilnatIOns by only qualified and approved persons. ports.- very successful Sports afternoon was held in December at Bronte.

The outstandmg one bemg for the" Thomas Cup" open to both the Ambulance and ursing Cadet Division.s, and was won by the Cadet Ambulance Division of Auburn for the second year m succession. This competition is extended ove~ h~o Satu.rdays, the ~e~ond held at Canterbury Racecourse when a very interestmg lmprovlsed competIhon was h~ld, some 20 squads taking part. This resulted in Marrickvi.lle Ambu~ance Squad commg first and North Sydney Tu rsing adets second. ThIS was wltnessed by a large attendance of the public, including the Assistant Commissior:er,.Dr. \V. Vickers, and Mrs. Vickers, Mrs. John Maund, and other members of the DIstnct Staff.

YOLUNTARY AID DETACH;\!E~TS.

The Annual Parade of all Voluntary Aid Detachments belonging to the t. John Ambulance Brigade and the Red Cross Society was conducted by =-.lajor-General R. M. Downes, C.M.G ., V.D., Director-General of the Commonwealth :'lllitary Forces on Saturday afternoon 9th April, 193 , in the Grounds next to Government Hou se. The Bondi Beach Concert Band under if. A. H. Baile rendered the musical part. of the programme. General DO'wnes noted with pleasure the improved marching and deportmen l of the parade and paid a high tribute to the obvious result of our chool of Instruchon, and incidentally to District Officer W. Kubig who is responsible for it. The General conveyed to the parade his great satisfaction at their enthuslasm, loyalty, and self sacrificing service for their country. I SPECTION OF DIVISIO s. All Ambulance, ursing, and Cadet Divisions were officially inspected during the year: that the work of the members of the Divisions is recognized by the Civic Authorities and sporting bodies is borne out by demands for public duties being continuously received and by the excellent reports received from the Inspect.ing Officers. In the ewcastle District the activities of the Brigade have shown marked improvement, so much so that an application has been received to form a Corps of the Brigade to be known as " The Greater City of ewcastle Corps" of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The reports of the Country Inspections carried out by District Superintendent A. S. Wilkinson, at Bulli-\¥oonona, Lithgow, Portland, and Adamstown shows enthusiasm and efficiency. It was not possible to send an Inspecting Officer this year to Broken Hill, therefore the Inspection of the Division had to be carried out locally, but I am more than satisfied that the Division is thoroughly efficient and a great asset to this great mining District. I am greatly indebted to ex-Sergeant W. Campbell for placing his car at the disposal of the District Superintendent. As usual the Nursing and Cadet Divisions were inspected by the Lady District Superintendent, Mrs. J. W. Maund, and the Lady District Officers Dr. Frances McKay and Mrs. J. E. Henson, and they are to be complimented for their unselfish labours and practical interest on behalf of the Nursing Divisions. I wish to thank the following Inspecting Officers who devoted so much time to this

THE

AJ.IB LANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

A nnttal Inspection.-Although placed at the rear of the Parade, the Cadets were very prominent in their smart uniforms because of their skill in marching. Three members of the Ashfield Tursing Division received the Grand Prior's Award, which I think is an outstanding record in any Division in the British Empire. Church Parades, Field Day, pecial Commemoration Days.-The Cadets took part in these days, and acquit.ted themselves very creditably. Social Functions.-Every Division has held very successful social functions of a high standard. In conclusion, I would like t.o expre s on behalf of the Cadet Superintendents our appreciation of the work done by our Commi sioner, Dr. Hugh R. G. Poate, and the District Staff, who have given us loyal support throughout the year. On my own behalf, I would like to thank all adet Superintendents for their assistance during the year. Finally, let me say that in the work of our Cadet Superintendents, we see ground for courage, hope, and faith, but we must not blink our eyes to t.he stern fact that they need constant encouragement, support, assistance, and relief. \Ve would not. expect them to be equipped with patience which would nelt.her admit defeat nor countenance despair, so I trust the good work they are doing will be mult.iplied in th e future through ever closer co-operation bet.ween the District ' taff, Corps and Divisional uperintendents. STORES DEPARTMENT. It was decided during March to build up a Stores Department for the use of Brigade Divisions. Stocks include equipment, furnishings for uniforms, Drugs, Bandages, and Dressings, etc. These are not for sale to t.he general pu blic. TURSING DIVISIONS. The Lady District Superintendent, Mrs. J olm Maund, report.s that every ~ursing Division was officially inspected, the majority by herself, and found that t.he standard of efficiency and discipline had been well maint.ained. However, in several Divisions minor adjustments were found necessary. All the Tursing Divisions worked magni.ficently during the 150th Anniversary Celebrations, and are to be congratulated. It is very gratifying to report the formation of new .l. 'ursing Divisions at Epping, Ryde, and Parramatta. Mrs. Maund desires to record her thanks to Lady District Officers :\Irs. J . E. Henson and Dr. Frances McKay for their valuable help t.hroughout aery busy year. RESIGNATION OF LADY SUPERINTE'DENT-IN-CHIEF. The Nursing Divisions learned with much regret of the resignat.ion of ~Irs . Lancelot Dent, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas, which had been received and accepted by the Grand Prior. Mrs. Dent always warmly welcomed Brigade members from Over eas, which was evident during the Centenary Celebrations of t.he Order of t . John and the JubIlee of the St. John Ambulance Brigade when large numbers attended from t.he various Dominions. PARRA~1ATTA'S CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS. The 100th Anniversary Celebrations to commemorate the founding of the Town of Parramatta-situated 15 miles from Sydney-was celebrated for t.en days, from 27th October, until 5th November, 1938.

STREET, K.C.M .G.

The ew South 'Wales District records with profound regret the decease of The Honourable, The Lieut-Governor Sir Philip Street, K.C.M.G., Knight of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, which occurred on lIth September, 193 . He was President of the St. John Ambulance Associat.ion from 1925-1935, aI1:d took a very keen interest in all matters connected wit.h the Order of St. John III New out.h \Vales. To Lady Street our sincere sympathy is extended. In concluding this report I wish to tender my t.hanks to all members of the District Staff 'who have throughout an arduous year given me their most able and generous services, and to all Corps and Divisional Officers for their loyal support and to the rank and file for their unselfish labours and self sacrifice throughout a most strenuous year.

AUSTRALIA.-South Australia District. -Dr. . L. Dawkins, O.B .E ., Commissioner in charge of the outh Au~tralia Di trict, r port :-

M.B.,

During the year Brigade activities have been fully maintained, ~,134 aalhenn )S, such as Race Meetings, Agricultural Shows, ricket and Football ?llat.ches, Beach Carnivals, etc., were attended. The total number of Brigade attendances on dut.y thereat was 5,300 and the total number of casualties treated were 6,167. All Units have been inspected by myseU, or Senior Stall Officers on my behalf, during the year. Such inspections have b~en mainly devoted to practical illustr~tions of First Aid and Ambulance duty and disclosed a very good standard of effiCiency. The keenness shown by personnel is very satisfactory and the turnout i' generally good, though drill is capable of improvement. This is practically unavoidable. Owing to the scattered nature of some Country Centres and consequent 100 fT distances to be travelled, it is not always possible for members to be pr sent at t.he Annual Inspection of their OVv"TI, or of another Unit. . On 3rd April the Brigade marched to Government House and were lDspected and addressed by His Excellency The Governor, Sir \Vinston Duo-an, K:C.~!'G., C.B . , D.S.O. (Knight of Grace). This was done as a gesture of welcome tu IllS Excellency and Lady Dugan (Commander Sister of the Order of t. John) who had just returned from leave in England. A Brigade Church Parade was helJ in the Town Hall, 1\delaide, on 26th June. The Governor, Lady Dugan, and many distlDguished citizens were present and the total attendance of Officers, other Ranks, and Cadets was approximately 3UU. Interested citizens packed the building. The Annual Brigade Inspection by His Excellency the Governor, took place on the Parade Ground, Adelaide, on 27th Tovember. His Excellency subsequently gave a short address and complimented the members of the Brigade on the guod work that they are doing. During their residence in South Australia His Excellency and Lady Dugan have shown great interest in the Brigade and grven most kindly assistance, and their departure in 1939 will bring with it sincere regreLs for our loss and at the same time our best wishes for their future happiness. The First Cadet Camp was held at Seacliff from the 26th December until 2nd January, under the supervision of Dr. E. A. H. Russell, in whose hands is the administration of Cadets. Dr. Russell put in a considerable amount of work t.o ensure a success. His efforts were well supported by Corps Officer R. MacLachlan and it is largely due to his mastery of details and administration that the Camp was so successful. Its educational side was never lost sight of. I desire to record my thanks to the Railway Band, which on all public occasior:s has always turned out with the Brigade most readily and it is proposed that thiS Band be recognized officially. Members of the Band have expressed their willingness to become attached to us, as many are First Aiders. An increase of 50 members has occurred during the year. A new Nursing Division and a Nursing Cadet Division have been established. . I desire to express my deep sense of appreciation to all my Officers for their splendid assistance in maintaining a high standard of efficiency, a~d t<:> all Memb.ers of the Brigade, whose loyalty to the Order and myself have malDtallled the high tradition for service for which the Order of St. John stands in the Dominions.

M.D.,

The Brigade in Victoria District has fulfilled all public requirements. Included in the many duties were Anzac Day Procession; Labour Day Procession; Race leetings at. the Victorian Racing Club; Football and Cricket Matches; Charity Carnivals; Beach Patrols and Motor-cycle Race Meetings, and Motor-cycle Patrol dut.ies. The Annual Inspection was held at Government House, Melbourne, when H s Excel~ency th~ Governor, Lord Huntingfield, K.C.M.G., Knight of Grace, and Lady Huntmgfield mspected and addressed the Parade. Long Service Medals were presented to Divisional Superintendent L. Gunn; Ambulance Officer P. McLean ; Divisional Superint.endent H. J. 'Willmott; Cpl. J. M. Bean; Pte. L. Bean; and Pte. A. Chapman. 2nd Bar Divisional Superintendent E. R. Hatch. The Sir Charles Connisbere Divisional Proficiency Trophy was competed for and won for the third time in succession by Caulfield Division. The holding of this competition has aroused keen int.erest as the examination is comprehensive, embracing all the various aspects of ambulance work. During t.he year a great interest has been taken in A.R.P. instruction, and it is desired to place on record t.he excellent work done in this connection by Major James Chapman and Captain A. Christie, O.B.E., of Army Headquarters' Staff, Melbourne, who were the pnncipal instructors. \Ve have now upwards of 100 1st class A.R.P. Instruct.ors who gained their certificates through the Defence Department. At the time of thIS report being fonvarded, Victoria experienced the worst Bush Fires in history and the work of the Brigade in this connection has been of outstanding merit. A newspaper cutting is enclosed herewith which gives some idea of the many duties oLher than First Aid performed by members . The Motor-cycle Patrol were found to be most useful for this particular disaster as they were able to move from place t.o place whenever required to do so. Dunng t.he year, t.he \Villiamstovffi Division's new headquarters, costing approXimately £950, were opened by the Mayor of \Villiamstown, and it is gratifying to see they are now permanently established.

AUSTRALIA.-TVestern Australia Distrz"ct.-Dr. H. G. Tymms, Commissioner in charge of the Western Australia District, reports : That t.he st.rength of the Brigade in the District increased during the period from 879 to 9-16, and efiiciency was well maintained. One new ~mbula~ce Division was formed, consisting of lembers of the City of r~rth ud Llf~ Savmg Club, and I am hopeful that other Surf Life Saving Clubs Will follow t.helr example and combine their activities for the benefit of the Community. One new Kursing Division was established in connection with the Young ""omen's Christian Association at Perth. The st.rength of the Brigade in this District is now : 10 District Staff, 38 Divisional S~rg.eons, 34 Divisional Superintendents, 42 Ambulance Officers, 45 on-Com~lssloned Officers, and 777 Ambulance Sisters and Privates, a total of 946, an mc~ease of 77 on the figures for the previous year. The District Staff was increased dunng the year by the appointment of Dr. A. B. Webster, of Kalgoorlie, as District Surgeon attached to the Eastern Goldfields Sub-District. District Sergeant A. F. Seymour.was promoted to the rank of District Officer on the 18th March, 1938. The DIst.nct of Western Australia comprises one-third of the area of Australia but contains a population of only 460,000 scattered over a vast portion of th~ State. The proport.ion of fully-trained Ambulance Brigade Members is approximately 1 to e:rery 500 persons, which is very gratifying. Dunng. the period under review 1,903 cases were attended by Members on public duty, whIlst 1,747 cases were attended by Members not on public duty. The first St.ate-wide Competition for Members of the Ambulance Divisions took pl,:ce on the 6th ovember, 1938, when 16 teams participated. The contests compnsed a team test (four men), a two men test, and oral examinations for the other two members of each team. The work was of a very high standard, and the result wa~ as foll?"\:~: Collie Railway Division (1), Margaret River Division (2), York Railway DIVISion (3).

In recommending District Officer (Dr. J. R. Donaldson) to succeed me, I feel sure he will worthily maintain the traditions of the Brigade, in which desire he will doubtless receive the same encouragement and loyal support as has been accorded to me. I n conclusion, may I express my best thanks for the kind thought that prompted the Divisions to present me with a tangible token of their goodwill on the occasion of the first Annual Competition. To the District Staff I also wish to say how grateful I have been for their valuable assistance. I will retire certain in the knowledge

Fray, on behalf of District

The IIamillon ~ '0. 1 Division have met for practice lectures, etc., on 43 occasions during this year. The average attendance was 16· . There has been a slight Illcrease III cases attended on Public Duty over 1937 all of which happened on the sports field (football matches, school sports, etc.), and several cases off duty have been attended. The Division has not increased in number in spite of much advertising for new candidales; III fact the Association advertised a class to start and not a single appltcailOl1 was received. :\ class of coloured girls was form.ed and eight or nine passed, it was hoped that they " 'o uld form the nucleus for a Division of Girl Cadets but this has not materialized. This class, by the way, was instructed by District ~ urse Miss )Jash whose efforts then and SlOce havc been very praiseworthy. She is at present attempting to bring another clas up to standard for an examination. To realize the work of this nurse and others engaged in this work (Di trict ~ur ing) you must know that her District covers perhaps ten or more mlles of country roads and to get about they must cycle or walk. The hours of their work is unlimited and to throw in further time to teach first aid i really marvellous and certainly desiring of note. I regrel \'e ry much t.hat on the occasion of the visit of Irs. Dent, the Lady Superinlendenl·in·Chlef, Brigade O\'erseas, I was unable to meet her. The early arrival and very short stay in this port of the boat caused this disappointment. I had arranged that she should inspect our books, etc., so as to be able to carry back home. a f,avo urable rerort of a struggling Division in one of the oldest outposts of the I:'. mplre, but alas It was not to be. I feel sure that such a visit to this Colony from some official who might be able to speak at a public meeting would have a wonderful eflect. I Ieel that I ought to rcport that 'w hile the Division is neither increasing nor decreasmg, men and women are awaking to the fa ct that it is a useful subject to know; a class of J 5 pollce constable have volunteered and are now in action. l'nfortunaiely, the rules of Brigade Ovcrseas prevent their joining the Division. .\ class of ladies, members of the Independent Order of Daughters of the Empire have sough l information and will soon commence studies so that in this respect we are not dormant. I regret to say. that the Cadet Division ha practically faded out, only two boys belOg left. An elfort to awaken interest here is at present being made, and I hope to be able to report new lOteresis next time.

The Corps has increased from 132 members in 1912 to 2,260 111 193. Every policeman who has a sufficient knowledge of English is required to obtain a FIr t Aid Certificate. Th!( number of Certificate Holders increases yearly as Police become more proficient in English. 372 members of the Force hold the en'ice ~Ieclals, having completed 10 years' efficient service in the Corps, 10- members hold the first Bar to the Service Iedal, having completed 15 years' efflCl n t. service in the Corps, 17 members hold the second Bar to the Service ~redal, ha\'lng completed 20 years' efficient service, and 1 member holds the third Bar to th ServIce Medal, having completed 25 years' efficient service in the Corps. In the year 1937 there were 526 cases of homicide and attempted homicide, 1,618 cases of grievous hurt, and 2,4 0 cases of hurt with dangerou weapons committed in the Island. In cases brought to Police Stations of assault. and accident, in which bones are fractured and wounds caused, there can be no question but that the cleaning of the wound, the stoppage of bleeding, or the application of splints before a long journey is undertaken, must cause great relief to the patient and prove of value in the subsequent treatment. Strides have been made during the year in holding instructional courses for "i1lage Headmen; as many as 17 courses have been held at 13 cent.res. Artificial respiration and the treatment of injuries form an mt.egral and mo t important part of these courses. Honours.-It is gratifying to note that His Majesty the King, the Sovereign Head of the Order of St. John, has approved the following promot.IOn, admissions, and attachment into the Order : -

of a large port.ion (2 per cent) of the members of the Ceylon Police Corps. Mr. Jackson is in possession of the First Bar to the Service Medal and counts 16 years' efficient service in the Brigade. Inspector S. de LaHarpe.-From February, 1929, to July, 1933, Inspector de LaHarpe was in charge of the Depot Police.

Since that date he ha taken a mo~t active inter~st in the work of the Ceylon Police Corps of the St. John Ambulance BrIgade by holdlllg courses of lectures for new candidates and refresher courses each year and re-examining Certificate holders annually. In 1937 Dr. de Vos personally re-examined 97 members of the Corps in Colombo. . Dr. de Vos has never spared himself in his keenness to do all in his power to Improve the st.andard of First Aid in the Ceylon Police. Captain 'V. J.

l~dical. O~cers t~roughout the Island have been most helpful in taking Classes FIrst AId, III holdlllg Refresher Courses, and in holding annual re-examinations. The b~unt of this work. falls on the Police Surgeon (Dr. S. de Vos) in Colombo. So~e Idea of the work lllvolved may be gathered from the fact that this year the Pollce Surgeon has held Courses of instruction for 188 members of the Force to enable them to ~ain the First Aid Certificate on first appointment, has put 600 members of the l:< orce through Refresher Courses and re-examined 521 men who hold First Aid Certificates. This work is entirely outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Police Surgeon. This year the re-exa~ination of members became too great an undertaking for the PO.lIce Surgeon unaIded, and Dr. C. vVeeraperumal, Assistant Police Suraeon very kllldly assisted with this work. To him our grateful thanks are due. 0 , D.r. S. de Vos will be relinquishing duties as Police Surgeon on 1st October, 1938, havlllg been appointed in June, 1935. During this 3 years and 3 months Dr. de Vos has conducted courses of training resulting in 7 Officers, 36 Sub-Inspectors, and 711 Constables earning their First Aid Certificates.

The Ceylon Police Corps will rcmember most gratcfully the excellcnt services rendered by Dr. de Yo to the Order as Police urgeon in olombo. . Professor F. O'B. Ellison, lII.D., who has for eleven years performed the dutIes of Assi tant Commissioner, t.] ohn Ambulance Brigade, retired from eylon at the end of ] uly, 1938. The Acting Inspector-General of Police add res eel the following letter to Professor Ellison on his departure from Ceylon : " In view of your impending departure from Ceylon I am wrillng on behalf of the Ceylon Police in general and the members of our orps of the, t. John ,\mbulance Brigade in particular to express to you our most grateful appreciaLlOn for all you have done for us as Assistant Commissioner of the Brigade in eylon. " You took over the duties of Assistant Commi sioner in 1927 , and with the cxccption of 192 and 1933, when you were away from thc Island, you havc evcry year done everything in your power to assist u in arranging First Aid lasscs, re-examinations, Annual om petitions, and Inspection by His Excellency the Governor or hIS representative. " It is probable that we alone are fully aware of all you have done for the Order of St. ] ohn in Ceylon, and it is for this reason that we would wish you to reallze how greatly your efforts have been appreciated. " We are particularly grateful for your help at the nnual om petition which necessitate two long and strenuous afternoons' work, and for your rna t instructl\ c criticism which has helped considerably to improve the standard of Firt Aid work. " You will always carry with you the best wishes of the eylon Pollcc for your health, happiness, and prosperity wherever you may bc " The thanks of the Force are also due to Dr. \V . E. de ilva, _\cltng Director of Iedical and Sanitary Services, and :'Iedical Officers in the Provll1ces who ha \·c throughout the year prepared members of the Force for First AHI ExaminaLions an I held Refresher courses to enable other member to qualify as .. crlll.. len L ". Lady Abrahams, Lady District Superintendent, reports:The year ending on 31st December, 193 ,has been chiefly one of preparatory work The Division in Colombo was registered in 1937, but thiS was the only rcgl tere I Division when I was appointed Acting Lady uperintendcnt JI1 ~Iarch, 1935 ThIS Division was r egistered under the name" 1st Colombo Division ". It has sub-;equenLly been shown that there was a Nur ing Division in Colombo during thc Great \'·ar, which was registered under that name. I am taking the necessary steps to get the name of the existing Division altered to .. 2nd Colombo Diviion ". There arc 25 active members of this Division, including the officer. There are two other Divisions which have bcen registered dunng the year, the 1st Badulla and the 1st Galle. The Badulla Divi IOn numbers -12 member, and the Galle Division, 35. In ] affna there are 12 prospective members of a Division who have passed their First Aid examination and are expecting to pass their Home. -ursing exanunation shortly. In Nugegoda, a suburb of Colombo, classes have recen lly been slarted, also in Tangalle. A second Division is also forming in Badulla. In this last-mentioned place there are 27 girls at St. rsula's onvent School who have pas ed their First Aid examination and who expect to pass their Home ursing examination, and will then form a Cadet Division.· Vve therefore have 122 registered members of Divisions in thc Island and about 60 prospective members of future Divisions in haining. This excludes the 27 prospective Cadet members. I am very limited in my opportunities for extensive expansion. I have a working arrangement with the Red Cross whereby I do not seek to start our Divisions in those places where they are established. This excludes Colombo, where there is room for us both. Work is carried on here under considerable difficulties. People are continually either going on leave or being transferred. The Ceylonese members will not as yet do any duties in the streets, and are shy about appearing on parade. Quite a large number of the more enlightened are willing to do duty in hospital, but the hospitals in the out-stations are not enthusiastic about having them. Owing to the fact mentioned above, that this has been a qualifying year, I have not much to report about actual work done, or parades held. I think, on the whole, considering the

REPORTS FROM DO~lI::-<IO~S.

difficulties under which we work, that the progress has been satisfactory. Considerable interest has been aroused in our work and I have had a fair number of contrib utions towards our funds by Ceylonese. The medical men all over the Island have been most helpful and have done devoted duty. rearly all of them have lectured and examined without asking for any fee. I should particularly like to bring to your notice the really magnificent work done by the Acting Lady Superintendent of the 1st Badulla Division, :'1rs. Pickering. She is a plantcr's wife, not in very affluent circumstances. She has to motor a good many miles to attend classes and look after her Division. She has gathered round her a set of women who have been inspired by her to be really keen about their work. Her organization has been excellent and her devotion to her duty exemplary. She is admired by the medical authorities in her district and has raised a very efficient DiviSIOn. I think I can close my report by saying that during the past year we have managed to make th Nursing Divisions a permanent part of Ceylon life, and I am confident that 1D an international crisis, they would be ready to render real service to the country.

uperintendent of the Cyprus

The Govcrnment of Cyprus \Va again good enough to vote £50 towards First Aid instructIOn and equipment for the Police in 1938. This provision has rendered possible the purchase of a considerable amount of First Aid materials for the Division. On thc 31st December, 193 ,we had distributed among the various Police Stations of the olony -17 Furley pattern stretchers and -1 fitted hampers, sets of splints, etc. There is also at Headquarters in Xico ia a wheeled stretcher which is taken by the Police to race meetincrs and other similar functions. 1\ further sum of £50 has been included in the Police Estimates for 1939. This \\·111 enable u to provide the Division with more equipment. The existence of Fir t \i 1 matcnals m sufficient quantities is viewed as conducive to a high standard of cfficlCncy and a policy of providing the Di\'ision with such commodities will be pursued. The total membership of the Divi ion increased during the year from 70 to 83. Of these, 79 members went through a refresher course of lectures and drills during the year. At thc annual re-examination there were four absentees. Twenty failed to pass the annual re-examination. In the year under re\'iew there were 42 members of the Cyprus Police Division of the Bngade is ued with Badges after three years' " efficient service". A total of -13 Officers, ergeants, and Constables received a course of lectures and mstruction during the first half of the year and, on conclusion, took the examination to qualify for the First .\id ertificate. Twenty-five passed the examination and they wtll be automatically enrolled in the Division. This will swell the members to 10 , 5 of them having since been discharged from the Force. In the current year additional officers and men will take lectures to try to qualify for the certificate. A number of instances of good First Aid \vork by the Police have been reported during the year. A few of these cases are quoted here : . (a) In three cases of drowning members of the Police First id Division rendered FIrst Aid by applymg artificial re piration successfully. The doctors who attended to the patients later expressed their high appreciation of the work performed by the Police. (~) The leg of a man suffered a compound fracture as a result of a motor car aCCident. Thc Policeman who hurried to the scene attended to the injured passenger pr~mpUy and effectively. In the doctor's view the injuries sustained by the man were se.nous enough to prove fatal, but by the timely and proper action taken by the First Alder on the spot, his life had been aved. (c) A man fell off his bicycle and suffered concussion of the brain. The Police Who .arrived on the scene rendered him the necessary Fir t Aid and removed him to hospItal. The doctor who attended to this patient spoke in congratulatory terms of the performance of the Police in this case. The Force is greatly indebted to Dr. Cuff for his very valuable as istance and the trouble he has taken over examinations and instruction. They are also most grateful

to the Director of Medical Services for the willing and ready support he has extended to them at all times. The thanks of the Force are also due to the Medical Officers who have sacrificed a great part of their leisure to give lectures to and instruct t.he Police in First Aid.

charge of the Hong

It would be very difficult to describe adequately the work of the Brigade for 193 and the earlier part of 1939, for owing to the intensive recruitment necessary for A.R.P. Voluntary Aid expansion, the refugee influx, and the frontier crisis when Brigade members assisted on both sides of the border with relief work, in addition to the ordinary activities of the Brigade, the demands upon Brigade personnel have been particularly heavy, and the Headquarters Staff which has had to cope with almost incessant calls, have found it almost impossible to deal with the ordinary routine work. Recruitment.-Recruitment necessary for A.R.P. expansion was excellent and it is only due to the doubt of being able to financially equip each man with uniform and full equipment that the strength of the Brigade does not run into several thousands. Also many prospective candidates were turned away because their occupations prohibited their being called upon in an emergency, although 1D peace time these would make admirable First Aiders for their particular work. This did not exclude them from attending lectures. Others were members of Ambulance Units from Canton, whilst. others again were rejected as not being of the type suitable for a Brigade member. Service.-The response to service has been outstanding. On the memorable Sunday of the European Crisis, so many men were required for military and naval purposes, by the evening every man had responded to t.he emergency call. During military manreuvres 50 men were required, 150 turned up, so t.he surplu were sent to assist with relief work in the ew Territories where they found plenty to do at Shataukok and Sheung Shui in rendering First Aid to wounded soltl1ers and sick refugees who were coming through in great numbers. Men and nurses assisted at the various refugee camps, and later at Shum hun Casino which was converted into a hospital. Some of our St. ] ohn nurses had the unenviable experience of ] apanese bombing at Shurn Chun where SIghts were gruesome. The Y.W.C.A. Division did trojan service in assisting the doctors, and remaining until every wounded or sick person was evacuated . During the week-ends Brigade men and nurses accompanied by their Divisional Surgeons visited outlying villages near the frontier where thousands of refugees were encamped. Medical attention was given where necessary and vaccination was carried out. Special credit must be given to the members of the Transport Division who n ot only provided lorries, drove ambulances, but sacrificed many days' pay in order to transport the wounded and sick to hospital. They also assisted in transportin g street sleepers to the camps. Nurses assisted at the ew Territories Maternity Centres where scores of refugee mothers were cared for. This was in addition to ordinary Brigade activities. Street Sleepers.-A census was taken. Members were on duty at the shelters in the evenings, from midnight till the early hours of the morning. Anti Cholera Inoculations.- urses assisted the Medical Department at the various Government Centres. "Street Stations" under the supervision of Brigade doctors and trained nurses were set up. More than 60,000 persons were inoculated by the Brigade trained staff. Vaccination.-Schools, factories, offices, etc., were visited by request for the purpose of vaccination. Lectures.-Each member is required to pass annually an examination in A.R.P. in addition to First Aid and Home Nursing (for nurses) in order to become efficient. Many members have qualified for A.R.P. lecturers (Voluntary Aid Course). Corps Superintendent Chak Tai Kwong, A.R.P. Gr. I, L.A.G.C., has done magnificent work not only in arranging for A.R.P. lectures but in conducting tutorial classes on Saturday afternoons for lecturers. Our Hall has been occupied almost each evening. The General Public Classes for A.R.P. usually being crowded, also First Aid lectures.

OBITUARY.

It is with very deep regret that we have to record the death of 11rs. Watson, Superintendent of the Victoria ursing Division. Mrs. Watson was invalided home early in 1938, but we all hoped that she would return to us restored to health and strength, but it was not to be. She was loved by everyone who knew her, and our loss is very great. To ~Ir. \\'atson who is carrying on St. ] ohn work in London we tender our deep sympathy. GRATEFUL THA TKS.

Before concluding this rather brief and congested report the Brigade would like to express t.o His Excellency t.he Governor grateful thanks for his invaluable assistance, t.aci, and sympathy often at a time when sorely needed. To the Hon. Dr. Selwyn Clarke, Director of Iedical Services, we are indebted for his tireless energy in endeavouring to secure a Government subsidy for the necessary expansion of the Brigade. Professor Gerrard, our Assistant Commissioner, had the responsibility of supplying lecturers and examiners for First Aid and Home ursing, and for arranging tce various competitions. . He rarely missed a Staff meeting, no matter how busy he was or what functIons he had to attend, he always found time to attend so that he could keep in touch with Brigade matters. \Ve wish him a very deserved holiday in the Old Country. To several Staff Officers who unstint.edly gave their services both the Commissioner and the Hon. Secretary owe very sincere thanks, for it is due to them that many urgent calls were quickly responded to, and lives saved. May I appeal to all officers for similar assistance.

I DIA.- ir Ernest Burdon, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., I.C.S., Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, reports : The year 1938 has been a year of considerable activity and progress. 39 new Brigade Divisions were raised during the year, bringing the strength to 107 Ambulance Divisions, 29 Tursing Divisions, and 36 Cadet Divisions, a total of 172 Divisions. The membership rose from 4,014 to 5,152. Two new Districts, for Bihar and the Delhi Province, were constituted during the year and another comprising the province of Sind was under formation when the year closed. The Hon. Mrs. Copland-Griffiths' Visit.-Following the visit of Colonel Sleeman, Chief Commissioner, St. ] ohn Ambulance Brigade Overseas, which did much to stimulate the work of Brigade Divisions, the visit of the Hon. Mrs. Copland-Griffiths, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Overseas, will, it is hoped, go a long way towards the organization and formation of more Nursing

Divisions in this country. ]\.Irs. Copland-Griffiths, who brings a special message of encouragement from Her Majesty the Queen Empress, addressed to the ursi ng Divisions in India, is making an extensive tour of the country, visiting over 30 places in the course of -! months inspecting the work of the Nursing Divisions where they exist and helping in the formation of Divisions at other places. he is accompanied by her Staff Officer, Miss Mavrojani. The following is the text of the message graciously sent by Her ~lajesty the Queen Empress to the Brigade in India : " As Queen Empress and Commandant-in-Chief of the ... Tur ing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, I send my best wishes to our member in India and assure them of my continued interest in all that they are doing to aid the sick and injured. I hope to hear of the formation of many new Divisions m the cilies of the Indian Empire, and of the furtherance of this great voluntary w ork for the relief of human suffering and the saving of life ." From the reports received so far 1\1rs. Copland-Griffiths' visit has been welcomed and promises material success. Arriving in Bombay at the end of Tovember she had, by the end of the year, inspected the Nursing Divi ions at Bombay, Karachi, Quetta, Lahore, Amritsar, and Rawalpindi. At all the places visited she addressed large gatherings of men and women, explaining the work of the Order and suggestlI1g possibilities of extension. Public Duties.-Among the outstanding duties performed by the Brigade Divi Ions in India was the organization of public duty by Xo. VII District ( ' nited Provmce ) during the Kumbh fair at Hardwar from 25th larch to 17th Apnl. Four First .\Icl Posts were organized at Hardwar, at (1) Railway Station, (2) Police tation, (3) Har Ki Pauri, and (4) Esplanade, and squads from the Allahabad, Bareilly, awnpore, and Etawah Divisions were on duty at these places, to render First J\id 10 accidents which are numerous in such a large gathering. On important bathing days t.he squad were on duty for all the 2-! hours, one squad relievi ng another after hours' duty. They also rendered help to the victims of a railway accident which was respon lble for 6 deaths on the spot and injuries to 2 persons.

Such services were held at 22 different places, viz. Auckland, Point Chevalter, \Vhangarei, Hamilton, Gisborne, 1. ~apier, Masterton Wellington, l Iawera, \Yanganui, :'larion, Taihape, elson, Wakefield, Blenheim, Chn::.ichurch, H.anglOra, Lyttelton, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. ),lembers of the ommandery and representatives of the Association were present at many of these parade. The. Brigade participated in the opening of the new ambulance building in Dunedin, at which HIS Excellency the Governor-General presided, on the 29th August last. The new premises will proVIde accommodation for all the activities of the Order and WIll enable the work to be further developed. The erection of an ambulance station III Hamilton wIll also afford much needed accommodation. Oml?etItJon~ took place during the year a~ Auckland, Huntly, Hamilton, 'Vellington, \\ anganuI, hn~tchurch, and DunedIll. Cadet competitions were held at Auckland, \\T llington, and Christchurch. Keen interest was manifested and a high standard of work was shown. The Otago Distnct is deserving of credit for the work which was done in the est.ablishing of highway patrols and Fir t Aid posts in connection with the Ranfurly hieid football match which was played at Invercargill on 30th July last. An excellent scheme of patrol was carried out and First Aid posts were established on the h!g~way. Appreciation of the work has been expressed by the Automobile ASSOCIatIOn, Government Transport Service, Police, City Council Traffic, and others. S~)I?e words of praise are due to members of the ~apier Ambulance and Xursing DIvlsions for the services rendered by them in connection with the disastrous floods w.h~ch occurred in the Esk Valley at the end of April last. Under very adverse condItIOns our members carried out work which is deserving of the highest commendatIOn. During last winter classes of instruction in Air Raid Precautions and Anti-Gas Training were carried out in Dunedin with very satisfactory results . As a result of these classes 14 members of the Brigade qualified for the Grade I or II certificates. Lectures have also been delivered in several other centres. During the year the Chief Commissioner inspected the Brigade in the new ambulance station in Dunedin, when there was an excellent turn-out of all ranks. He also held ~n inspection at Christchurch when 53 members were on parade. On both occaSIOns he was much pleased with the appearance and equipment of all ranks. Th~ new motor ambulance which was built for the Brigade at Oamaru, and which con~aIlls the most up-to-date fittings, was dedicated at the local St. John Ambu lance statIOn on the 15th August, by the Ven. Archdeacon Russell, Assistant Chaplain of t.he Order. There was a large attendance, including the Mayor of Oamaru, the chairmen of .the vVaitaki Hospital Board and vVaitaki County Council, and others, and the serVIce was impressively carried out.

Acting District Superintendent J. A. Kriste, the Officer in charge, states : " The m mbers worked hard t.hroughout the week, in trying weather conditions, and for long hours, but they were always cheerful, loyal, and conscientious, and I honestly cannot find words to adequately express my gratitude to the members for the manner in which they carried out their duties. They fully deserve the highest praise that can be given." Again, at Blood River lIIonument Camp in Natal, over a week of strenuous duty \\'as put in by 23 Ambulance and 21 ursing Division members of all ranks, under District Superintendent J. II. II. Chamberlain who, in his report, states, inter alia, that a severe storm raged during the evening of the first day. This was followed by inten e heat the next day. "Dingaan's Day, 16th December, brought thousands more to celebrate tbis historic occasion (over 40,000 in ca mp) ; t.he beat was even more intense and the dust from wa gons and cars made it most uncomfortable. " Ovcr 500 cases treated this day-1,46S cases altogether; there was splendid co-opcrationt t.hroughout. The expressions of gratitude from the many sufferers as well as others showed how greatly the St. John Ambulance Brigade had been appreciated during this period. I am certain that our work will live in the memories of t.ho e privileged to take part. The field work was new to most of our members, but e\'ery one carried out their duties cheerfully and most efficiently. ., Two 't. John ::'lotor Ambulance (Ladysmith and Vryheid Divisions) did stren uou· duty throughout and made over 100 trips."

Close attent.ion has been given to t.he arrangements for mobilizat.ion in cases of emergency. Every endeavour is being made t.o further perfect. t.he schemes, and test mobilizations have been carried out. It is anticipated that during the year 1939 t.here will be a considerable ext.ension of Brigade act.ivity. It had been hoped t.hat t.he year under review would have seen Divisions established in a number of additional localitles, but. t.he failure of t.he ssociation to pave the way by t.he establishment of classes hampered t.he proposed extensions. Committees of Centres have now been made aware of the urgent necessity of organizing in new districts, and the result is awaited with confidence .. In conclusion I desire to extend my thanks t.o the members of the Bngade for their work during the past year. The members of the medical profession are acyaill deserving of special recognition for their services. It is also desired t.o thank t.he Press, Police, utomobile Associations, Fire Brigades, I [ospital, Transport. and Education Boards, Iunicipal Authorit.ies, Sports Officials, and others for their co-operation and assistance.

" So runs the well-merited tribute paid by The Knight Commander, lIis Excelle!1 l.;y Sir Patrick Duncan, G.C.~LG., K.C., L.L.D., K.ST.]., to the members of the Bri~,HI' who, throughout all Provinces of the nion, gave t.helr services so ably and willtnglr on this historic occasion. Throughout the entire route of the Ossewa Trek which coverecl many thousand,; of miles from the Yan van Riebeck Statue at the entrance to ape Town, the ::'.Iollter City of the Union, through the Cape Province, Orange Free St.at.e, and t.he Tran:)\ aal, to the Voortrekker Ionument near Pret.oria; from the Transvaal to Blood Ener Monument in atal, St. John men and women were at hand t.o render whalev 'r assistance might be required . Every member on duty was bilingual, and those doing duty at the ?Ionument Camps at Pretoria and Blood River were almost entirely from the ' ..A.I<.. & II. District. The Commissioner, II. T. II. "\Yat.ermeyer, III circulating vanous report:> received, and tributes paid, says : " vVhen it is considered that service was also rendered at the t.owns and nllages through which the Trek wagons passed in their diverse routes from Cape Town to Pretoria, something of the magnitude of the duty can be realized. ertainly it is t.he largest organized service the Brigade has ever undertaken in Sou th Africa, and III thousands of homes where previously the work of St. John Ambliiallce was lInkno wn it will now be spoken of and 1 emembered with gl atitude. " All ranks carried out their duties in a manner in keeping with the high t.radition ' of the Order, and to every individual member I desire to exprc:;s my very high appreciation and thanks for service cheerfully and efficiently rendered, often under the most trying conditions." I fully endorse Mr. Watermeyer's words of praise, and gladly express my warmest. commendation and thanks to all concerned for these outstanding 5ervices rendered Pro Utilitate Hominum. At the Voortrekker Monument Camp 71 members- all ranks-52 Ambulance and 19 Nursing, did continuous duty for over a week-some of t.hem for 20 hours per day-many using their private cars and aided by local Brigade members; and it must be remembered that many of these members came from all points of the compass-from Cape Town, Kimberley, Mafeking, Upington, Port Elizabeth, East London, and Durban. It was impossible to keep a record of cases treated in the field, but 1,360 were recorded at the main station and First Aid posts. 1

.\ Iew extracts from many glowing tributes received were : " Bolh the public and the Thledical Officer-in-Charge expressed great appreciation for the work done. The ?Iedical Officer frankly told me that if it had not been for tbe \'oluntary work performed by the Ambulance Units (at tbe VoortTekker Camp, Pretoria) it could casily have resulted in the worst state of chaos and amost deplorable condition from the visitor:;' point of view." \V. HECKROODT (Assistant Commissioner), East.ern Transvaal Sub-District. " On behalf of the Department, I ·w ish to thank the members of the Brigade very cordIally for the sen·ices t.hey rendered at the Old Cemetery, Pretoria, on the 16th December, when wreat.hs were placed on the gra\'es of the late Commandant Generals A. \V .

Th~ hIgh standard of service rendered by our members during this historic occasion IS typIcal of the service which they, and all other members of the Brigade, perform year by year within the Commandery.

Accompanied by Major L. Blumberg, representing the Director of :\ledical erVlces, I inspected the combined Ambulance Divisions of the .G.H. District and Cape Western (Railway) Sub-District at the new Drill Hall on 18th ·ovember, 193 '. There was an excellent attendance and the various tests attained a high standard. The reports of the Inspections conducted by the respective Officers m the outlying districts show that a high degree of efficiency is being maintamed and much valuable work done. .. Our ursing Division members continue t.heir attendance for training in li~it.ary Hospital Administration at the :i\1ilitary Hospital, Roberts Heights, Pret.ona, <:t the rate of 5 per month. This valuable privilege is eagerly so ught after and there IS usually a considerable waiting list for months ahead, as also for the H.efresher Course of 15 days. One of our members reached the creditably high standard of 98 per cent in the examination for the special certificate at the conclusion of the course. To the Director of tIedical Services, the Officer Commanding at the Military Hospital, and the Matron and Staff, I express my very cordial thanks for the valuable facilities provided, the instruction provided, and the many kindnesses shown to our nurses .

I have also t.o express my sincere thanks to the Matron and Staff at each of the various hospitals t.hroughout the count.ry where our Nursing Division members are privileged to attend for addit.ional instruction.

Sub-District, who 1S assured of loyal support from everyone in the C.G.H. District. It was wit.h very great regret that I received the resignation of Sir Henry Chapman, C.B . E., omnllSSlQner of RhodeSia District, who left on 23rd November, 193 , to t.ake up resldence 111 England. lr Henry Chapman's work for the Association and Brigade in Rhodesia will long be remembered wit.h warm appreciation.

The personnel of the Brigade is rapidly increasing and many new Divisions have been formed III the Transvaal, .A.R. & H., Natal, and C.G.H. Districts. Towards t.he close of the year the first A.R.P. examination, under the Syllabus and Eule approved by the Departments of Public Health and Defence, was held for members of t.he Peninsula rTursing Division at Cape Town where the C.G.H. District have a large class undergoing A.R.P. instruction. There is every evidence of a big" push" in A.R.P. training during the ensuing year. A.RP. certificat.es at 31st December, 193 , were 51 Grade I, 10 Grade II, 11 Grade III. The usual high standard was maintained at the Brigade Annual Competitions for the " elborne" hield and .. Alpheus \Villiams (Individual) Trophy; thc .. Hewat " Shield and" Florence Thompson (Individual) Trophy, and the" Lady Price Trophy for Invalid Cookery, which were held in the Ambulance Hall, Durban, on 1st October, 193'.

The strength of the Police Ambulance DIVision at the close of the year was -11 including 15 Africans. ompared with 1937, thi total represents a decrease of ~), due to the separation of the Police and Prison Departments and to \'anous retirements and resignations. Formerly all prison officer who were 111 possesslOn of the certificate were counted as members of till .\mbulance Dl\ ISlon. IllS regretted that it was only found possible for the police to attend one series of lectures. The r~sult was disappointing, only two members succeeded in passll1g th ' Ir re-examin atwn tests. Although the results of the examinations ha\'e becn unsati ' factorv, elementary First Aid instruction at the police training school has made great stride:'. Th~ instru~tion ~as been considerably extended and greatly helpetl by a publication entItled Ftrst Azd Illustrated, by the late Dr. II. T. H. BuLl. Thi " publication i!'i printed in English, Luganda, and }~iswahili, and profusely illuslraled. It is true that some of the illustrations do not conform exactly with those of the "t, John Handbook, but nevertheless the value of the book to the Afncan cannot be denied. The Division, as in former years, provided First Aid squads at all the important functions and rendered assistance to the public on numerous OCC,l. IOns. Dr. J . P. 1\Iitchell, O.B.E., l\Iedical SuperinLenJent, ::.rulago, reports that it was only possible to hold one male class during the year. The class commenced sometime in March and was continuous for practically six monLhs. Eighty candid~te attended and at the examination held in December, -15 pas cd for the ertincate, 20 for Voucher, 1 for Iedallion, and 3 for Labels. The strength of the ilIulago br~nch at the end of 1937 was 90. Casualties during the year amounteJ to ! 7. \Ylth those who were successful in the December examinatIOn, the strength at the close of the y~ar was 118. This branch provided First Aid squads at all the prominent athletIc meetmgs, and rendered very useful assistance. It al 0 rendered a' istance in 21 road accident cases. Dr. R. Y. Stones, O.B.E., C.1\I.S. Hospital, Tamirembe, reports that the number of certificate holders at his hospital was 18 at the close of the year; of these, t\\'o hold the medallion and five re-qualified for the voucher. The decrease is due to discharges and transfers. Only one class was held and the results revealed an increase of 6 certificate holders. At the re-examination vouchers and 2 medallions were obtained. Dr. J. P. Mitchell of Mulago kindly delivered a series of lectures to a \Vomen's Class. Thirteen attended and 8 presented themselves for the subsequent examinatIOn and were successful in obtaining the certificate. A series of lecture~ were d~livered to the employees of the Kenya-Uganda Railways at Tororo. The Semor MedIcal Officer of the Eastern Province conducted the subsequent examination. Eight candidates were examined. The results are not yet known. The tot~l strength of ce~tificate holders in the District at the close of the year under reVIew was 175, an mcrease of 24 since the 31st December 1937 . The distribution is as follows : '

Annual R e port of the Chief C0 111111i Slone r 31st J.larch, 1030. THE DIRECTOR OF AMBULANCE, ORDER OF T. JOH . IR,

I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the year ending 31st December, 1938. I am glad to report a sub tantial increase not only in the trength of the Brigade, but also in the number of new Unit. The actual increases of new Divi ions and personnel compared with 1937 are as follows : New Units (Divisions and ecliolZs) . 1938. 1937. 77 5 Ambulance 41 73 ursing . 25 adet Ambulance 30 27 19 Cadet Nursing

From the above it will be seen that there i an increase of 1 D new Division, and of 5,326 personnel after allowing for di charges. The following table shows the strength of the Brigade on 31 t December, 1938 : Adult Units. JUen. TVomen. Total. England (including Northern Ireland) Wales Eire

From the above it will be seen that the total number of members of the Brigade, including Cadets, is 89,745. From reports I have received from Commissioners, I find that there has been an increase in the work of the Brigade in every direction, but

particularly in connection with A.R.P. I am glad to be able to report th~t all members of the Brigade have met these increased demands on theIr services with loyalty and energy. WORK OF THE BRICADE ~ases of accident and sudde? illness, 7~2 , 748, an FOR 1938. mcrease of 63,925 compared wIth last year s figures. Brigade operated motor ambulances c,:rried 149,905 cases 1,414,059 miles (increases, 26,546 and 2,522 respectIvely). Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and Welfare Centres by officers and members of Nursing Divisions in 1938 were 37,936, an increase of . ' 4,429 compared with 1937. First Aid work on the highways continues to be effiCIently carned out, and there are now 1,742 Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts established on main roads, an increase of 358 over those for 1937. 24,955 road accident received treatment (increase, 2,639), and the injured were tran ported 99,049 miles (decrease, 90,664 miles). A great deal of most excellent work is being carried out by members \ ho attend and undertake duty at Beach Huts during the summer months. Twenty-six of these Huts have been erected and are manned by the Brigade. . The Medical Comforts Depots are a boon to all needy as IS proved by the large number of sick-room requisi~es dealt with d.uring the year by the D1 Medical Comfort Depots establIshed by the Bngade. I must thank all rank for the loyal manner in which they met all call during the cri is in eptember. For the casualty services the Brigade wa by far the mo t valuable body of First Aid personnel in the co~t:y. Public uthorities throughout the country had commenced trammg ,"olunte rs in Fir t Aid, but in few cases were they fully trained, and, therefore, the Authorities had largely to depend on our trained personnel. Demand w re made by the Public Authorities on the Brigade as to what personnel it could provide for the Casualty ~ervices. . In this connection, the following letter was receIved from SIr Samuel Hoare, Home ecretary:" Dear ir John Duncan, "I hould like to express to you my deep appreciation of the help that the t. John Ambulance A sociation gave us during the recent difficult weeks. " By putting your organization and your personnel so freely at the disposal of the Home Office and of the local authorities, you gave us a reassurance that if the need had arisen, a First Aid system would have been brought swiftly into existence. "Yours truly, iglled) SAMUEL HOARE." After the cri i a further demand was made on the services of the Brigade, to provide an Ambulance Unit to accompany the British Legion to Czechoslovakia. The Detachment had to be ready at two days' notice, and as time was short it was decided to call for volunteers from No . 1 District. A large number answered the call, and from these a Detachment of thirty men was selected and placed under the command of Assistant Commissioner Captain A. C. \tVhite Knox, M.C., whilst two other Surgeons of the Brigade accompanied the Detachment, which assembled at Olympia.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

The Detachment was completely fitted out by the Stores Department at St. John's Gate. The Brigade was also approached to supply a Detachment of Nursing personnel to follow the Ambulance Detachment had the British Legion proceeded, this Detachment had been selected and was ready to proceed when the British Legion contingent was sent back and dispersed to their homes.

Courses held by the Brigade during the year. Up to date 3 courses for L.A.G.C. Instructors and 23 courses for Grade I Instructors have been arranged by my staff at Headquarters. The Commissioners have had a volume of work imposed upon them. I am extremely thankful to my Headquarters and to the Commissioners and their staffs for having ~o loyally and energetically carried out all demands made upon them In connection with First Aid and Anti-Gas training. My reference to A.R.P. would be very incomplete without again recording the wonderful help rendered by Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell and Mr. Joe Grossman. Two new A.R.P. films were r.nad~ and presented during the year, and these films have been shown In CInemas all. over the country, thus rendering a volume of help not only to the Bngade but to the Nation by appealing for A.R.P . volunteers. Up to the 31st December, 1938, the Brigade had issue~ 14~ Local Anti-Gas Instructors' certificates, 5,122 Grade I Instructors certificates, 5 092 Grade II Instructors' certificates, 37,196 Rank and File A.R.P. c~rtificates, 38,520 General Public certificates, total, 86,072. This large reserve of anti-gas instructors and trained personnel is a most valuable asset to the country. That such excellent results have been obtained is largely due to the energy of Dr. \V. C. Bentall, my anti-gas Staff Officer, and those who have worked under him. In addition, the following number of Brigade members have attended a Government chool and obtained an Instructors' certificate : -

The St. John Ambulance Brigade has been recognized by His :l\Iajesty's Government as a part of the National ervice Scheme, and reference i made to the Brigade in the Government list issued in connection with First Aid casualties service . Thousands of applications for enrolment for National Service have been received and dealt with. NATIONAL

Royal aval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve. Thi Reserve has been kept at full strength with a long waiting li t. A partial mobilization was ordered when the Navy was mobilized during the September crisis. In his Annual Report to the Director-General of the Navy, the Inspecting Medical Officer states : (1) Re Inspections.-" The re ervists were smart and well disciplined, and their Drill, First Aid, and Team vVork were excellent." (~) Re Mo~ilization During Cri~is.-" On 28th eptember, calling up notIces were Issued to 739 reserVIsts, and of these 705 actually arrived at their destinations, the remainder having been stopped on route or by the gen~ral announcement that no further reservists were to join. My ~r:spectIons followe~ closely upon the recent crisi when many had mobilIzed for the first tIme, and some again after 20 year. I was struck with. th~ cheerful spirit ~th :-vhich they had all gone through, and their admIratIOn of the orgamzatIon for dealing with such a vast reserve. I had no complaints and the general impression carried away was one of keenness, loyalty, and co-operation. I consider the R.N.A .. B.R. to be an effi~ient, pat::io~ic, enthusiastic unit and that we are greatly indebted to the ChI~f CommISSIOner an~ all Officers o~ the Brigade for their unceasing co-operatIOn and energy whIch was espeCIally marked during the recent emergency."

In conncction with our work on A.R.P. our Senior Officers have been brought much in contact with Medical Officers of Health. I am glad to report that our r lations with these officials have generally been excellent. HEAD Iy thank are due to Dr. N. Corbet-Fletcher, Surgeon-inST~UF~~TERS hief, for his loyal support, for the number of inspections he has carried ou t and for his general inspiration which has done so much to rai 'e the tandard of efficiency of the Brigade. I wish particularly to convey my thanks to Lady Perrott, R.R.C. , Lady uperintendent-in-Chief, for her most loyal support during a very strenuou year; he has never spared herself and has shown the greatest energy and initiative in her effort to increase the efficiency of the Nursing Divi ion . 1\ly thank are also due to all my staff who, during an exceptionally difficult year, have never pared themselves.

This has been a mo t exacting year to the Commissioner, CONOLUSION . their stans, surgeons, officers, and other ranks. I wi h to convey to them my thanks for the loyal and self-sacrificing manner in which they have an wered the additional demands on their service . They hould feel proud that before any emergency had ari en they had set such a fine example of National Service.

MUNICIPAL SUPPORT.

Report of the Surgeon-in -Chief. To THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my report for the twelve months ending 31st December, 1938. This is based partly on the observations of my Staff and myself, and partly on the helpful reports with which the Surgeon-in-Chief for the Priory and the District and County urgeons throughout England, Eire, and Northern Ireland have favoured me. Unlike the two previous years, 1938 has been chiefly occupied with routine duties . My letter of welcome to each newly-appointed surgeon continues in many instances to elicit courteous replies which foretell enthusiasm and efficiency. Throughout the year I have kept in constant touch with my District and County urgeons either by interviews and correspondence or by circular letters, which I sent whenever I had anything of interest to communicate to them. MEDICAL From the attached Analysis of Medical trength you will STRENCTH. note that the total is higher than in any previous year, although as the result of many resignations consequent on change of address, there is not the striking increase to which I referred in my last report. On 31st December, therefore, there were 2,524 urgeons on the roll in England, vVales, and Ireland; and of these 2,449 were serving in the technical and 75 in the executive section of the Brigade. WEEK-END The success of the Surgeons' \Veek-end Conference in 1937 CONFERENCE . was such that I felt justified in asking your permission to hold a similar gathering this year. This duly took place at the \Vharncliffe Rooms, Marylebone, on 15th and 16th October; and, in spite of the political tension then prevailing, it attracted no less than 118 urgeon, who were drawn from all parts of England, \Vales, and Ireland, and from all ranks of both technical and executive sections of the Brigade. Indeed, this Conference proved even more popular and succc sful than its predecessor; and at its close everyone voted that it must become an ann ual event. In your unavoidable absence I read your letter of welcomE' and encouragement, which was much appreciated. Last year the lectures were given mainly by Headquarter's Staff, whereas this year they were shared by experts from several Districts; and they were followed, as previously, by discussions which served to clear away dif-ficulties and uncertainties . A new feature this year was a practical demonstration of modem methods of transport for spinal cases. This was excellently carried out by two squads from the New Cross Division, No.1 (Prince of Wales's) District, under the direction of Assistant Commissioner Dr .A. C. White Knox, and proved most helpful. On t he Saturday evening we held our Surgeons' Dinner, at which we welcomed the ladies and certain lay colleagues who represented the executive section. We had as our guest of honour Sir Herbert Creedy, G.C .B., K.C.V.O., the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for War, who

REPORT OF THE SURGEON-IN-CHIEF.

in his speech paid high tribute to the Brigade and its Surgeons for their voluntary services to the civil population and t~ the State. . We closed the General Conference with a meetmg, for the thIrd year in succession, of the District and County Surgeons with whom I discussed certain administrative problems. Other matters of interest to us surgeons were also considered, but no outstanding matter was placed before me and no definite resolution was formulated. The Surgeon-in-Chief for the Priory reported that in the autumn he convened the Second Conference of Surgeons in Wales, and that he presided over a representative gathe:in~ in C<l:rdiff at :which some us.eful and progressive work was done. SlIDllarly, m Dublm and a~ vanous centres in England the District and County S,urgeons. s~lzed the opportunity to collect their surgeons together and, m certam mstances, to report the results and findings of the 1937 Week-end Conference. In this way I am gratified to know that Briga?e Surge~ns are making personal contacts which ensure better acquamtan~esh~p and better performance of their self-imposed and voluntary obhgatlOns. Iy County Surgeons reported that this year in all the preliminary competitioI'l:s leading to the Dewar ar:d Perrott Finals there was more than the usual mterest shovm by competmg teams, and that in certain Areas, Counties, and Districts the results were very close. Beyond doubt this is a good omen, because experie!lce s?ows t~at individuals who take part in these contests develop theIr skill ~s frrst aiders much more rapidly than do tho e who are content wIth the ordinary methods of training. Further, the invidious ep'it.het of " pot hunters" is no longer applied to the members of competItlOn teams as it used to be before this fact was recognized. This year Brigade Finals were held on 13th May, at the vVharncliffe Rooms, larylebone, as usual, and were noteworthy in that for the first time the individual tests were all realistically staged. This is a further step foIV\ ard, since nothing in the presentation of the tests was left to the imagination of the competitors, .altho~gh the team. te~ts have been so staged year after year since 1923, ill whIch year a begmnmg was made with improvised material. Two other unusual incidents occurred. First, to our great regret an elderly actor sustained a simple fracture of the collar-bon~ at t?e dress rehearsal of the Dewar Team Test, and I had to render frrst aId; and secondly, a dead heat resulted for the ChaIn:ers Team Tr~p~y, and for the first time I was called upon to set and Judge the decIding test. As in previous years we selected for all the tests .settings which ~ere essentially practical and typical of emergences whIch the competitors might conceivably have to handle in actual circumstances. For the Dewar the team test presented father and son, the former being injured as he jumped from the window of an inn to the assistance of his son, who was caught in the branches of an oak tree; and in the Perrott the teams had to treat a painter who fell through the greenhouse attached to a country house. Incidentally, we took this test from a setting actually erected at Elstree; and on the day of our visit the painter did fall and injure himself, though not so seriously as in our team test. The individual tests included accidents to a mischievous pageboy in a dentists' surgery, to a cinema manager in his office, and to a porter in the ballroom of a hotel. FINAL

COMPET ITIONS .

THE

T. JOH

For the realistic staging of these team and individual i.e t we were once again very much in the debt of the Associated Briti h Picture Corporation, Ltd., and more particularly of our good friends, MessL. Claren~e ~lder and Joe Gro man, who gave-freely and, indeed, enthusIastically-of their time and service to the preparation and actual presentation of the various accidents. At the several Inspections, for which we were detailed during thi year, the Assistant urgeon-in- hief and I have always made a point of seeking out the urgeons of all ranks on parade and of making their acquaintance. For thi reason, it is unfortunate that so many Di~isional urgeons do not realize that they have a definite place at InspectIons and that, where practical work i d monstrated they can materially assist the Inspecting Officers, especially when they are not members of the medical profe ion. . J?r. Bent.all adopted the same course with the urgeons in hi' man r VISIts to dlfferent parts of the country with reference to our A.R.P. .cheme and was sub equently able to give me u eful, first-hand informah.o? about the state .of local medical affairs. By curious cbance, the VISItS of both of us thIS year were mainly to Nos. II and IV District . imilarly, my Secretary, finding ~im elf on busines in Belfa t during Oc~ober and November, was authonzed by you to use hi spare time on B~lg~de matters. Mr. Milburn was very cordially recei\'ed by i.he ommISSIOner, 1r. I an Fraser, and the A istant ommi ion r, ir Dlldle McCorkell, :who invited him to visit a number of Divi ion and to peak at a gathenng of Nursing Divisions in Belfa t. He return d home much impressed ~y the ~e~nness and efficiency of our colleague and al 0 enabled me to acqUIre an mhmate knowledge of medical affairs to-day in J orthern Ireland, for which I am duly grateful. VISITS FROM

HEADQUARTERS.

From all parts my County urgeons r ported that the instruction of the Divisions has been excellent during a difficult year consequent on the claims of A.R.P. which ha ncroached on the no:-mal training in Fir~t. ~id and. Home Nursing. Iy anxiety, therefore, IS for the 320 or so DIVISIOns whIch have no officially appointed Surgeons and so must rely on casual help for their technical instruction. During-and since-the September crisis the County A.R.P. authorities have called upon the Brigade everywhere to arrange first aid lectures for their personnel. This has involved a considerable amount of extra work both for the Divisional Surgeon who gave the lectures and also for the lay members who, under his supervision, conducted the practical instruction of innumerable classes. 'These results were obtained only by the ready response of the Divi ional Surgeons, whose efforts are only too often taken for granted. To them, the:efo~e,. I tender the grateful thanks of the Brigade; and, as a token of thelr willmgness to serve, I record the gallantry and devotion to duty of one of them as follows :At the Markham Colliery Disas~e~ .on 10th May, Divisional Surgeon J. B. McKay, of the Bolsover DIVISIOn, North Derbyshire Area, was among those who went to the rescue of the 40 casualties and remained on duty until he himself was so badly affected by gas that he had to be removed to hospital and did not fully recover his health for three months.

INSTRUOTION OF DIVISIONS.

REPORT OF TIlE

AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

URGEON-IN-CIIIEF.

From the reports I learn that the number of County urgeons, who this year conducted the re-examination of DIVISIONS. all (or practically all) units within their commands, is increa ing. This is as it should be and is strictly in accord with Brigade Regulations; but if such ideal for any reason be impossible of attainment, then the ounty urgeons should be given the power to control the re-examinations and to arrange for an interchange of the Divisional urgeons for this purpose. Re-examination by i.he urgeon to the unit was this year less common though it was still far too frequent in certain Areas; and the fact that the urgeon to the unit knows his own members is not evidence of their ability to apply their knowledge in strange circumstances. RE-EXAMINATION

During the year it was my privilege to submit to you ten reports of first aid efficiently rendered by members of the Brigade in difficult circum tances in the home, in the factory, and on the road. All were duly approved by you and fully deserved the lett r of commendation which you always send to individuals responsible for exceptional \\ ork of this character. A I learned of some of the e by chance and called for the reports, I cannot help feeling that many similar cases are missed each year because the participants regard their actions merely as duty accomplished. Per onally, I hold that all out tanding cases should be recorded in the a-e Reports column of The Gazette if only as an appreciation of the work done by our rank and file. To this nd I have this year issued an instruction to my County urgeon a king that they shall immediately send me fully detailed reports of all occurrence in which conspicuou or meritorious service of any kind has been rendered. In conclusion, I am satisfied that the great majority of CONCLUSION . urgeons are giving fully and freely of their services in the advancement of the objects of the Brigade and that the few, who are not so keen, would quickly acquire a like enthusiasm if they realized the wonderful results which have been achieved in the 51 years of its history. Finally, I place on record my deep appreciation of the whole-hearted assistance which during this year I have had from all ranks of Surgeons, from Headquarter taff in the persons of rajor P. G. Darvil- mith and 1r. H. J. \Vrigglesworth, and also from my personal Staff.

MERITORIOUS FIRST-AID .

I have the honour to submit my report for the year endjng 31st December, 1938. This camp was again held at Rossall School under the BRICADE CAMP. able superintendence of Mrs. Tweedale. The number attending constituted a record. The instruction given covered the same wide field as in the previous year and all officers and members who sat for the examinations in A.R.P. and Cookery succeeded in obtaining their certificates. I again attended the camp for the week-end and was highly gratified by all the arrangements made by Mrs. Tweedale to whom the very best thanks of the Brigade are due in this connection. On the first unday in camp a Drumhead Service was held on the foreshore at Fleetwood, and on 5th August the camp was inspected by Colonel C. J. Trimble, C.B., C.M.G., V.D., T.D., L.R.C.P., before whom demonstrations were given including one of a gas attack with subsequent treatment of patients . CIRL CUIDE During the summer of this year 53 Girl Guide camps were CAMPS . attended by Brigade members. Officers and members of the \\ est Ham Nursing Division No.1 District again undertook duty each week-end at the permanent Girl Guide camping-ground at Chigvvell Row. Two members were in attendance every aturday to Sunday from 22nd May to 18th September. The Lewisham Nursing Division undertook a similar duty throughout the summer at a new permanent Girl Guide camping ground at Cudham, in Kent. o C Two camps were organized by Bolsover Colliery during the THEft AMPS. summer both of which were attended by Brigade members. At t.he Ingham Old Hall boys' camp help was requested for the fortnight 14th to 28th August, and this duty was undertaken by a member from N ottinghamshire. School Journeys organized by the L.e.e. Some of these journeys took the form of a camp in Oxford and I was asked to supply a member for thjs camp for periods from 6th May to July 15th and from 26th August to 23rd September. This duty was divided into fortnightly periods and these were covered by six members from No. I District and one member from Hampshire. The arrangement proved entirely satisfactory in every respect and I am assured that similar help will be asked for again. Many expressions of gratitude have been received for the help given at the various camps attended. During the year I inspected the following Nursing Divisions INSPECTlDN8. in No. 1 District: Gopsall Street Institute, Haggerston, East London, Shoreditch, Toynbee Hall with the East London Girl Cadet Division.

LANCE BRIGADE.

In the County of Bristol-Bristol 1 and Bristol 2, Clifton, Fishponds with the Bristol Girl Cadets. In the County of ' Vorcestershire the Nursing Divisions of Droitwich, Kidderminster, Malvern, Malvern ' Veils, and 'Vorcester, with the 1alvern Girl Cadets. In the County of North, East, and Mid Devon at Exeter on the occasion of the County Parade, the Nursing Divisions of Barnstaple, Bradninch, Braunton, City of Exeter, Combe Martin, Gittisham, Heavitree, Kingsbridge, Newton Abbot, Paignton, and Torquay, with the Barnstaple, City of Exeter, Combe Martin, Newton Abbot, Paignton, and Torquay Girl Cadet Divisions. I also attended the Inspection and Cathedral ervice of the \ Viltshire units when the inspecting officer was the Earl of Pembroke. Mrs. Falwasser, Lady District uperint ndent No.8 Di trict, inspected on my behalf the Dorset Nursing Divisions at the combined County Inspection. The following Nur ing Divi ions paraded: Park tone, Poole, Portland, haftesbury, and 'Veymouth, with Parkstone, Portland, and ' Veymouth Girl Cadet Divisions. My Staff Officer, Lady Forester, inspected on my behalf the Birmingham Nursing Corps. Divisions on parade were Bartley Green, Bournville, Central, City Gas, Edgbaston, Erdington, Fort Dunlop, Hand worth, I.e.I. (\Vitton), Moseley, Nelson, Newhall Centenary, Pharmacy, Po t Office, Small Heath, Smethwick, parkhill, \Vinchester Hou e, and the Bourneville Girl Cadets. And in hropshire the Burford ur mg Division. For the first time the Perrott hield was won b a Dorset BRICADE FIHALS . . ~ team, nameIy Weymouth. 0 ut of a maXimum of ;)15 marks they gained 441. This team also won the halmers Trophy and the Elli. Cup. Hampstead won the Corbet Fletcher Trophy, and the Mountgarret Cup for Bed-making was won by Ipswich Air Duties. \Ve were honoured by the presence of H.R.H. the Duchess of Gloucester, our Assistant Commandant-in-Chief, who most graciously pre ented the trophies and prizes. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Miss K. H. Jones, Principal Matron Q.A.I.M.N.S., to Miss M. S. Cochrane, R.R.C., iatron of Charing ros Hospital, and to Miss e. Alexander, Sister Tutor, Middlesex Hospital, who so kindly consented to judge the nursing sections of the competitions for us . I should like to record my very grateful thanks to Mrs. Falwasser, Chief Steward, and Mrs. Birkbeck, Assistant Chief Steward, and to all those who so ably assisted them on this occasion. It is only right that I should pay a debt of gratitude to the HOSPITALS. Matrons of the great London hospitals as well as those of the hospitals in the provinces who have so ungrudgingly assisted our members to obtain invaluable opportunities of improving, by actual practice, that nursing knowledge which the Brigade has been able to impart to them by instruction and exercises. The Matrons themselves have been generous in acknowledging the real help which they receive from our trained members who undertake hospital duties but I feel that the efforts of these members are more than rewarded by the benefits which they themselves derive from their practical experience.

Each hospital attendance represents at least two hours' work and in most cases considerably longer; indeed many of the attendances represent a whole day's work.. . In addition to the above hospItal dutIes a large num.ber of m~mbers took their V.A.D. training at Military and Naval HospItals durmg the year. Members have continued to make regular attendances at WELFARE various Welfare Centres, Dispensaries, Medical Comforts CENTRES, ETC. Depots, and Clinics. Their work in this connection has been much appreciated. Many members have undertaken duty in connection with ambulance transport, Road Huts, Beach Huts., in addition t? the ~egular demand on the nursing personnel of the Bngade for publIc dutIes all over the country. All demands for these services have been adequately and efficiently met. . . Certain Nur ing Divisions continue to afford nursmg ~ervice to the sick poor in their own homes. This s~rvice is much. apprecIa~ed by ~h?se whose circumstances would otherwIse not permIt of theIr obtammg trained attention. Twenty-four V.A.D. officers attended a course of inst~ction WINTERBOURNE at the Anti-Gas \ ing of the Small Arms School, WmterCUNNER. bourne Gunner. This course involved residence in Salisbury for a week and whole day attendance at the School. . At the end of the course an examination was held WIth the result that three officers gained Distinguished, 10 Qualified I, and 7 Qualified I~. vVhilst the instruction was given free these officers had to pay theIr own travelling and hotel expenses in order to attend the course. The demands on the services of the Nursing Divisions were SEPTEMBER immensely increased as a result of the Sep~ember crisis CRISIS. and although that crisis passed over hap~ily the .s~~rt which it gave to more intensive preparations to meet pOSSIble hostill~les has resulted in constantly increasing work for the whole of the nursmg service. Immediate recourse was made to that service to provide instruction for A.R.P. volunteers. The large influx of volunteers for First Aid and Home Nursing and the abnormal number of cl.asses w~ich resulted ~ade big demand on the nursing personnel for aSSIstance m demonstratlOns, bandaging instruction, and the like. Lar~~ ~umbers of. ~he volunteers have since been attached to the Nursing DIVlSlOns as Auxiliary membe:s. \Vhen the arrangements were made for the British Legion to polIce Czechoslavia it was at the last moment decided that it would be necessary for the Legion to be accompanied by a nursing detachme~t .to consist of five trained nurses, 16 Ambulance Sisters, and 3 cooks.

In this year more particularly does this hold good having regard to the exceptional demand on the nursing personnel which I have mentioned.

There were a record number on parade, namely, 4,200. l!lag Day.-Xo. 1 District held t.he usual Flag Day collection on 23rd July, and thIS year t.he amount. collected was indeed a record sum-£6,263. Association .Cla.sses both in First Aid and Home ursing were held throughout th.e y.ear at DIstnct Headquarters, and I wish to record my grateful thanks to the D1stnct Officers who acted as Secretaries, the Surgeons, Examiners and all others who assisted with the instruction, all of whom gave their services entirely voluntarily . Chllrch Parades at the Priory Clwrch.-There were t.wo Area Church Parades at the I riory Church, Clerkenwell, in 1938. In March, orthern Area and in October Southern. In addition t.here was a service for all the Officers of TO. 1 District at t.his Church in December, 193 . Officcrs' Annual Dinner.-On 3rc1 December, 193 , the Officers of this District held theIr "\nnuai Dinner at the Hotel Great Central, which was a bigger success than ever, and we were honoured by many members of t.he Order. From .the foregoing it wIll be nottced that a very great number of new divisions and sectlOns have been formed dunng the year, more than in anyone previous year. -:r: he g:reater demand for the knowledge of First Aid, owing to the international SItuatIOn, and the additional number of classes being conducted throughout the Dlstnct ha:::; acc.ounted for t.hlS. :\"0 parllcular functions, like the past year, took t.he services of the members of . -0. 1 District, but. during the crisis in eptember, their services were well in demand fittll1g gas mash and training for the evacuation of the hospit.als, etc. In addition: a n~mber of me~nbers from Ambulance Divisions, I Tursing Divisions, in charge ot ASSIstant ommlssloner apt.

EXTRACTS FROlll REPORTS. FROM LADY DISTRICT SUPERI:-l"TE DENT, }Iiss A. 1\1. vValker. " The many classes of instruction in First id and Home Kursin cr have led to an unusual in~rease of membership of existing Nursing Divisions, as well~s the formation of new UDltS. The creation of Auxiliary Reserves in connection with Air Raid P~e~<l:utions, has given greater responsibility to the Officers of many of the Nursing DlvlslOns, S~)I11e of whom have, by their energy and efficiency, done much to enhance the reputatIon of the Brigade in their various Boroucrhs. " There have been many calls for Public Duties, in°cludin cr a number in Children's playgrounds during the summer holidays, and all have b~en met with the usual response, even at uncomfortably short notice. " At the begi.nning of November, I began to receive requests from the Women's Voluntary ServIces for A.R.P. for lecturers to give courses of 4 or 6 lectures of one hour each, mainly to members of Women and Girls' Clubs. " Once again, I wish to pay warm tribute to all Officers and Iembers of Nursing

Inspections.-On 16th June, I carried out the Annual Inspection of the County. In the afternoon I inspected the Headquarters and Transport Department, while in the evening, accompanied by the Lord layor and the Sheriff of Brislol, I carried out the Inspection of the two Corps, 7 0 Officers and members, includmg Cadels being on parade, this being a record number.

After the March Past, the Lady Mayoress presented Service r.ledals and Bars, after which a short A.R.P. Demonstration was given. I congratulated the County on the record attendance, and the smartness of the members, and the Lord Mayor in the course of a short address said; "I thank you on behalf of the City of Bristol for the very noble service you are rendering to your fellow citizens, to your city and to your country." Insp ection of Nursing Divisions.-The Nursing Divisions were inspected by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, on Saturday, 19th March, 193 , at the Central Clinic, Bristol.

Three intensive courses ·w ere held in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce for the training of auxiliary personnel, these courses being conducted by members of the County holding the C.A.G.S. certificate. I a~ proud to note that the practice of holding courses under the joint auspices of the Bngade and Chambers of Commerce, which I initiated in Bristol in 1937, has been so WIdely followed throughout the country and that the Home Office n ow recommends i 1s adoption. During the year, 1,9 9 A.R.P. Certificates were issued and 614 persons trained by the Bngade olTered their services to the Medical Officer of Health as members of the Bristol A.H..P.

Steady progress in nti-Gas training has been maintained throughout the yearand there is now a sufficient complement of Grade 1 and 2 Instructors for Brigade work. The great increase in work, due to the demands of Local uthorities for First Aid and Home ursing training under A.R.P. has thrown a considerable strain on the County Organization. J\Iany members of the Ambulance and ursing Divisions have given up all their spare time, and travelled long distances in every sort of inclement weather, to act as demonstrators at Association Classes. There has been close co-operation with the A.R.P. and B.R.C.S. Authorities. Liaison Officers in different areas have been appointed, and they have performed their duties most efficiently, under difficult conditions. In connection with this special work, invaluable service has been rendered by the following Officers:Lady County Officer Miss Faber. County Officer H. J. Lewis. Corps Officer Ball (Cheltenham), who has been in sole charge of all the County A .R.P. Equipment-which is stored in Ambulance Headquarters, Cheltenham.

20th] allllary, J 939. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULA TCE BRIGADE. SIR, I beg to present my report for the year ended 31st December, 193 . I am pleased to report that a new Division at l\Ielksham and Chippenham ha\'c been formed and also a Cadet Division at Salisbury. A combined County Inspection was arranged this year for the first time and was held in the Cathedral Close at Salisbury, preceded by a special service in the Cat.hedral. The Earl of Pembroke and Lady Perrott were the Inspecting Officers and 'were very pleased with the smartness of the Parade. l\Iany members of the Order attended and a large number of the inhabitants of Salisbury were interested spectators. The County Competition was held at Trowbridge and the Swindon Division were successful for the third year running and represented the County at Oxford. The Swindon Ambulance and Nursing Divisions have again done much admirable home nursing at the request of the local doctors, and the Medical Comforts Depot is still very well patronized. Air Raid Precautions continue to make headway and there are very few members of the Brigade in Wiltshire who have not received their certificat.e and wear the armlet. This serves a useful purpose in bringing home to people the fact that the Brigade are prepared and qualified to do their part in the scheme. I n conclusion I wish to thank my staff, the Divisional Officers and other ranks, or the loyalty and help they give me on every occasion. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. R. TOWERZEY, County Commissioner for Wiltshire.

ompared with 1937 , this is an increase of 1 Unit and of 51 Personnel. First Aid was rendered by members of Ambulance and Tursing Divisions to 1,422 persons. COJIIPctltlOlls.-The County ompetitior:s were held at ?tewart.by o~ 20th March, 1938, by Jewel permission of the London Bnck Company, with the followmg results : Tie Fletton Division and Bedford Town Divi ion. 3rd Luton Division, 4th Electrolux DIvLlon, and -th t.eeple laydon. The Ingall Cup for Individual Efficiency was won by L\mbulance Officer G. "'. Hill. County urge~)l~ Dickenson judged th.e Team Test, and Drs ~lt.Coan, Fildes, and Dockrell, t.he IndivIdual and Dual Practrcal Tests. COlllltv Fill/d.-In conjunction with t.he B.RC.S., a Flag Day was held in Bedford andurrollndmg ditrict. on 4t.h June, and the proceeds shared equally between the Brigade and 'oc lety.

IJlSpcctlOIIS - Thi year rea Inspect.lOns 'w ere held instead of a County Inspection. On 2·Hh September, t.he Turvey Division and Lavendon Divisions, with Carlton Section were mspected at Turvey by County Officer \Y. T. Knight, accompanied by County urgeon II. 'V. Round. It was a very smart parade foll?wed by a most realist.ic ell ·play. .\fterward , t.he Turvey Ambulance Hall was offiCIally opened. On 2-th September, t.he Bedford To,,' n Division, Bedford Cadets, and Bedford ElectriCIty \Yorks Division were inspected by :'Iajor-General S . G. Loch, President • "orthern .\rea, and myself, accompanied by the:\Iayor of Bedford. Everything was 'atlsfactory, and all ranks combined in a good demonstration. On 2nd October, the urgeon-in-Chief inspected all Luton Units at the Skefco Works, accompamed by myself, Count.y Officer 'Yo T. Knight, Cou:rty O~cer 'V. H. \\'eatherhead, and County urgeon H. \V. Round. After a close mspectlOn, teams were put t.hrough pract.ical work. The Surgeon in Chief then addressed all ranks . On 9th Oct.ober, I inspect.ed the Fletton, Farcet, and Yaxley, and Eye Green Divi Ions of the L.B.C. Corps at Fletton. All ranks were well equipped and showed a high standard of efficiency.

.1.R.P.-Last. ::'I Iay, at the request of the Local Authority, I accepted the post of FIr t .-\Id ommandant for the Borough of Bedford, since when I have been acti,-ely engaged in orgamzing the training of the male First Aid Volunteers, also Anti-Gas TraininO' for \Yardens. In the eptember crisi , I was requested by the :'I.O.H. to create; force of st.retcher-bearers for the Emergency Hospital Scheme. Using the Bedford Town Divi ion as a nucleus, I was able to raise 150 in four days, and had mstructed t.hem in their duties. For this, the Brigade received the thanks of the Town Council. At Luton, County Officer 'Veatherhead, assisted by Superintendent English and Supenntendent later has also been energetic in organizing and training the Casualties Services and t.he general pu blic. Captain . G. Ingall, County A.RP. Officer, has represented the Brigade on County and other Committees and has given considerable assistance in the training and examination of the general public in Anti-Gas. Corps Officer G. Parsons deserves special mention. He has assist.ed me at all times with parades, anti-gas lectures, as demonstrator to our urgeons at First Aid Classes, Public Duty, also on Refresher Courses t.o the County Police, the Borough Police, and our own Divisions. Public Dllty.-This important part of our work has not been neglected. All Divisions had their share. On the roads, at theatres, cinemas, public demonstrations su ch as Empire Air Day, their work has gone on. I wish to express my grateful thanks to our Surgeons for their valuable help in First Aid Training and re-examinations, and to all ranks for their loyal support. I realize that becau e of the shortage of skilled Instructors, many of our competent

ST. JOH)< A)IBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for 193 . The strength of the ounty has increased and the number of public duties performed have been more numerous. The following new Divisions have been registered : Birstall Ambulance Division. Bradgate Ambulance Division (from ection). Gipsy Lane Ambulance Division. Cosby Ambulance Section. Aylestone Cadet Divi ion. and the strength of the County at 31 st December was : Units.

This shows an increase of 5 Units and 153 personnel. Public Duties.-Many and varied are the duties carried out. As in most Countie-, the opportunities are definitely increasing and this naturally tends to increase the interest of the Units. Local authorities have learned to turn with confidence to the Brigade for assistance and many unrecorded services rendered privately by individual members prove that the prestige of the Order is faithfully maintained. Cases Attended.-The treatment of 25,874 casualties and 920 voluntary aLtendances at Hospitals and Clinics are recorded, with a further 256 attendances at l\Iedic':lI Comforts' Depots. That the Hospital staffs appreciate the help of our members IS evident from the letters of thanks received by the Officers of the Divisions. Alotor Ambulance Transpo1't.-Con siderable progress has been made during 193 . Further modern ambulances have been acquired by Leicester Centre, Hinckley and Church Gresley. This service is maintained by a loyal and efficient staff. Inspections.-The Ambulance and Tursing Units in North Leicester hire travelled to l\Ielton Mowbray for their annual Church Parade and combined Inspection on 27th June. Divine Service was attended at the Parish Church in the morning, when the Area President, Rev. A . J. Ison preached his farewell service, prior to leaving the District, much to everyone's sorrow. I personally took the Inspection, held in the Park in the afternoon, accompanied by Lady County Superintendent Miss G. E . Partridge, County Surgeon N. Macleod, County Officer A. E. Atkins, Lady County Officer Mrs . G. E. Fargher. Major D . L. G. Carleton-Smith and A. S. Turner, Esq., County and City A.R.P.

I have the honour to submit my ,\nnual Heport for the Counties of orthampton and Huntingdon for the year ended 31st December, 1938. The total strength of the 78 Divisions and Sections, comprising the Torthamptonshire nit (.\mbulance 37, ursing 28, Cadet 13) is I, 61 member, an increase of 2-l2 during the year, which is very gratifying. The recorded cases attended by the Ambulance Divisions were 5,79-1 and 2,781 by the Tur ing Divisions. 1,126 members were succesful in passlOg their re-examination, and I am pleased to notIce an increased 1l1teresL Laken in the work by the Divisional urgeons. Cordial relations exist between Ambulance and Tursing Officers. Their close working together is very helpful. The \tVellingborough Headquarters I\mbulance Division has mo\ ed into new quarters, and also the Irthlingborough Divi -ion. The e Dn'isions now have commodious and convenient premises for their work Your Commissioner has been honoureel wIth the Enighlhood of the Order, Corps Officer E. J. Hayward of the Torthampton orps has rece1\et! recognitIOn of his work for the Brigade and the Association, and has been admitted as a Serving Brother. New Divisions.-\Ve are pleased tu welcome .\mbulance and • TurslOg I i,'islOlh at Brackley, and a Tursing Section at Oundle. The BozeaL Spdion of the \\'elhngborough Corps has been strengthened and is now a DiVIsion. • -ew Englanu and Stanground Sections of the Peterborough Corps have alsu been raIsed to the status of Divisions and the Cadet Divisions of this Corps arc growIng rapidly, thank" to the enthusiasm of the Officers in charge. Cadet Di,isions have been furmed at 1<oth\\'('l1 (Kettering Corps), and further increases are anticipated in the ncar future. Inspections.-The four Corps of the County C\mbulance and • TIll'sing) were inspected separately. I personally inspected the Kettering Corps' at Burton Latimer, the Wellingborough Corps at \\'ollaston, antI the Peterborough Corps aL OundJe, assisted by the County Officers and Lady DistriL.l • uperintcncient :'Ilrs \\T. llan'ey Reeves, A.R.R.C., D.ST.].

The general turn-out of all ranks wa pleasing and there was a marked improvement in smartness on Parade. The Divisional record s were again inspected on separate elates by ounty Officer F. Holgate Smith, M.B.E., to whom I am grateful for this service. Divisional Secretaries are to be complimented on their work; it must, however, be pointed out that not sufficient care is always exercised in the preparation of B.F. 5 to agree with the figures on B.F. 1, A & . A Thanksgiving Service, organized by the Lord Lieutenant of the Counly. The Marquess of Exeter, K.G., was held in Peterborough Cathedral soon after the" crisis" of last September, and a very large number of members of the Brigade attended . Public duties at Sports fixtures, football matches, thcatres, etc., are a popular feature of the work, and are much appreciated. The two" Huts" in \\'icksteed Park, Kettering, provide those on duty with instructional and practical opporLunities. Three hundred and sixty injuries were treated by the men during the season and 214 by the nurses. The Nursing Divisions of the County have done very good work in assisting at Hospitals and Clinics-996 attendances being recorded during the year. The number of first-aid cases treated by the Divisions generally is 8,575, but I am of opinion that this does not represent the actual number, owing to records not being kept in all cases, and the total is considerably in excess of above figures. I am pleased to record the smart assistance given in the rescue of two men overcome in a sewer at Northampton, by Ambulance Officer H. Bland and Driver W .

Increase 2 5 3 Cases treated during 1938 : -52,495 . Road First Aid Service.-This Department of Brigade work in this District progresses steadily, and in practically every part of Lancashire where there is heavy traffic, or danger spots on the road , there will be found Brigade members during week-ends and holiday periods ready to assist in case of need. There are now 47 Roadside First Aid Huts, 42 First Aid Posts, and 382 Roadside Boxes, as against 4 1 Huts, 35 Posts, and 365 Boxes, in the year 1937. Road accidents treated amounted to 1,-!63. Much good work underlies these figures, and the fine spirit animating those who ~arry out this side of our work, cannot be too highly commended, as this duty lI1volves long hours and much sacrifice of leisure. Public Duties.-This term covers a very wide range of public service, and in Lancashire, no function of any size is to be fo und without our members being in attendance.

134

THE

ST.

J OHl

From the great football matches, where there may be anything from 20,000 to 80,000 spectators, to the small gathering of a few hundred, the range of service extends, and if a full list of all public duties carried out in the year could be given, it would reveal how great an amount of help has been given to the general public at sports meetings, football matches, speedway tracks, theat.res, cinemas, public meetings, processions, etc. As in previous reports, I have mentioned many of the principal dut.ies carried out annually by the various Corps and Divisions, it will be sufficient to say that these ha"e been performed in 193 with the same thoroughness as in ot.her years. The Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston Corps, working in large centres of population, naturally have greater demand made upon their members, but centre::; such as Accrington, Blackburn, Burnley, Nelson, Padiham, Ellesmere, IIaslingden . Oldham, Rochdale, ' Vigan, and 'Yarringt.on, are called upon to pcrform a very large amount of duty during the year. Royal Lancashire AgriCllltllYal Society's Show.-This show is held each year in a different city or town in the County, and in 193 was in Livcrpool, where the orps members treated 106 cases. Reviews and Inspectiol1s.-All Divi ions have been inspected dunng t.he year, and I am satisfied that a good standard in general is being maint.ained I may mention some of the larger Inspections of Corps and combined Unit.s : South-Ea st Lancashire Review and InspectiolL.-Thi was hcld at H.ochdale. on 28th t.Iay, when the Inspecting Officer was t.he ~urgeon-in-ChieI. Dr. orbcl Fletcher, who reviewed a parade of 2,218, of whom 96-1 were members of • -ursinO' and GIrl Cadet Divisions, and 1,25-1 of Ambulance and Boy Cadet ulllls . Owing to inclement weather, the parade hac1 t.o be separated and housed in two halls in the town, where they were addressed by the Inspecting Officcr, whose repor t concluded with the words" All is well with our cause 1U EasL LancashIre". The parade was in char ge of As. istant. Commls ioner Colonel C. H. '. Redmon cl, T.D., l\!.B., assisted by Assist.ant CommissIOners R. Clegg. :'I!.R.C.S, 'Yo II.

PoHcr, assisted by Corps Officer Tewns and Hodkinson, and Divisional Superintendent A. 'Varren. P,'eston Corps.-Colonel Trimble inspected t.he Nursing and Cadets Di"i ions of Preston Corps on the 2-lth May, assisted by Assist.ant CommIssioner \Y. II. Gastall , County Surgeon J. l\IacKenzie, and District Officer G. B. Horrocks, when 127 members were on parade. A week previously, the Preston Corps had the privilege of fonU!n~ a Guarcl of Honour, composed of twelve Nursing members, for their :'Iajesties the Kll1g and Queen on the occasion of their Visit to Preston. Manchester and Salford Corps.-On 2nd July, this Corps was inspected in Belle Vue Stadium, Manchester, by the Assistant Chief Commissioner, Colonel G . 1\ . ::\Ioore, C.l\1.G., D.S.O., M.D. , when 600 members paraded under the charge of Corps Superintendent W. E . .r aylor. Liverpool Corps.-On 10th September, I inspected the Liverpool orps, at the West Lancashire Training Ground, Aigburt.h, when I was assisted by Assist.ant Commissioner Colonel G . C. E. Simpson, O.B.E., T.D., F.R.C.S., and County Surgeon W. Murray Cairns, C.B.E., M.D. The Deputy Lord Mayor of Liverpool was present and a considerable number of leading citizens, and a very excellent Air Raid Precautions display was given by members of the Corps. I made a detailed inspection of the Ambulance, Jursing, and Cadet Divisions, and am glad to report that I found a very good standard prevailing in all respects . Uniform was in good order and correct, with very few exceptions, and pouch contents, in the main, conformed to Regulations, and in this connection, I have only one criticism to make, which is that there was a tendency to add extra equipment to the contents of the pouch, in some cases. I do not consider this a serious fault, arising as it does from zeal. The March Past was well done, and the performance of First Aid was good, and

from this year's inspection, it is evident that the standard is even higher than in 1937, when I had the honour to report a very considerable improvement in all respect.s. The parade was under the command of Corps Superintendent Colonel D. C. L eyland Ort.on, T.D., L.R .C.P., ]\f.R.C.S., assist.ed by his Corps Officers. Cadet Camp.-This year, the Camp was held at St. Annes-on-Sea, from 23rd to 30th July, when some 90 attended.

The total strength including the County St.aff is 432, which is a d crease of l ~~ on the previous year. A new ursing Division at 'Windermere has been formed, and t.hu the 3 ,\mbulance Divisions in Westmorland have now an assocIated Xursing Division and 111 all cases harmonious working takes place between them. The Divisions in 'Yest Cumberland continue to have a hard time through the lack of employment and young fellows joining the Divisions who are so unfortunate as to become out of work, are movetl to training centres; though this is all to the good for the men themseh'es, it leaves gaps in the trained personnel, which are hard to fill and there is no tloubt that small Divisions, however efficient, do not assist enthusia m either in the ranks or ou t of it. The Superintendents have made splendid efforts to keep up the numbers and have succeeded to a large extent; when more prosperous times arrive, these Divisions will thrive again . Dr. J . Lamberton, the energetic Medical Officer of the Carlisle Divisions, has joined the County Staff as Assistant Count.y Commissioner at. my invit.at.ion, but has not left his Divisions in the lurch. The call upon the Divisions continues unabated; no less than 2,344, cases were attended too and the mileage of the Ambulances was just over 13,000 miles. There has been little hospital work performed but one Division gave 11 4 attendances at a Municipal Clinic for Maternity and Child Welfare. The West Cumberland Divisions of Arlecdon and Fritzington, Cleator Moor and Whitehaven supply 32 men for the M.H.R and Kendal Divisions contribute to the V.A.D's, the Ambulance Division, wit.h 8 mobile and 18 immobile, and t.he Tursing Division with 15 immobile members. Anti-Gas training h as been or is being given to all the Divisions in the Area, and t h ere a r e 19 Grade 1 I nstructors, 4 of whom qualified at the Home Office Civilian Gas School, S Grade 2 Instru ctors and 193 members have taken their certificates; the A.R.P. Gas Schools have taken away the need for the instruction of the Public, which was supplied in so large a measur e in the previous years under the auspices of the Brigade.

D ISTRICT .

In the vVest.morland Competition for the" Sladen" Shield, the Tebay L.M.S. Railway team was successful, whilst the J unior Trophy fell to the Ambulance Cadet.s of Ambleside. In the Counties Nursing Competitions, the" Collinson" Bowl was won by the Ulverston Division, and the" Cockill" Cup jointly by Ambulance Sisters H. R Haven and I. IaUinson both of the Keswick Nursing Division. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. BARON COCKILL, Lieut.-Col.

There are no events of special importance to be recorded. An increased amount of Public Duty has been carried out, but the main activities have necessarily been in connection with A .R.P. training. In view of the amount of work entailed in this direction, it might have been anticipated that the increase in full membership of the Brigade would have been larger than was the case up to the end of the year. There is, however, the satisfaction of knowing that the work done has been of great value to several Local Authorities in the development of their casualty services.

Inspections. -On 12t.h June, Dr. \V. C. Bentall, O.B.E., Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief inspecled the Divisions of the East Riding at Malton. From the report received, the days' proceedings were very satisfactory. This is the first time the Area inspection has been carried out by an Ofncer from Headquarters. On 23rd June, Sir Arthur Atkinson, K.B.E. , J.P., inspected the Hull Corps and Beverley Divisio n in the Hymers College grounds. A very satisfactory report regarding the work and turn-out of all on parade was received from the inspecting officer. Church Parades.-The u sual Church Parades have been held, and all were well attended. Hospital and Clinic Duties.-A considerable increase in these duties is shown by the Annual ret.urns and thc 1\lat.rons' reports are of excellent work done. In fact the ::'Ilatrons arc prepared to accept our Nurses as a Reserve 1.0 supplement their staff 1ll casc of emergency, which should be adequate proof of " efficiency maintained ". jl,Icdlcal COlllfoyts' Depol.-This branch of work is steadily increasing, and continues as a boon to the necessitous poor, who are never lacking in their expression of appreciat.ion. Road Dllty.-This import.ant branch of our work has been well maintained during the year as thc following figures will show and our thanks are due to all who have helped in any way. .Again we have t.o place on record our indebtedness to Mr. and ::\lrs. F. Bilton for present.ation of another l{oad Ilut, situate at \Yinestaed, and which although only opened lat.c In the season, has already done good service. T\\'o nc\\' Beach Huts have been III u sc at Filey during the season and, here also, good sen·ic.e is reporled. The amount of work done is bcst expressed in the figures quoted below. Ca es irea t.cd 183 Hours of duty done 15,675 :'IIiles patrolled 9,940 Beach Hut. Duly ' ases irea ted 6-15 Hours of duty done 2,700 .111' Ra ids PrccalltiO}ls. -This branch of our work has increased very considerably and it is p leasmg t.o report that the majority of our members now hold an A.R.P. Certificate. Our Brigade Inslructors have had a busy year, but have done good work 111 thiS part.icular branch of our activities. In the September crisis, the organization of thc .\rea was subjected to the test, and we were able to report to the various ::'Iledlcal Officers that the Brigade units in t.heir Area were at their disposal. This oifer of scrncc was readily accepted and has received the favourable comment of all concerned. COlllpclitiolls.-The many competit.ions held eluring the year have had a stimulating eiIect t.o our work and the enthusiasm maintained. ROlltinc. -Thc year's work shows steady progress in every branch, and judging Irom the volume of activities at the end of the year it is evident that the year before us IS going to rcquire cven furlher effort and sacrifice, but from results achieved in the past all thc members of this Area can be relied upon to do their best when the occasion demands. 'Vhilst this is in appearance a forecast it can equally be said of the past year, during which every member has maintained the traditions of the Brigade. Thanhs.-In conclusion, I give below a note prepared by the County Commissioner for this report and which he prepared before his recent indisposition. " I wish in conclusion to sincerely thank the members of the Medical profession for their keen int.erest and help at all times, the Police of Hull and the East Riding for t.heir co-operation, the Press for their willingness to publish our notes, all Corps and Divisional Officers and members for their loyalty and lastly, but by no means least, all the members of my County staff who have worked so consistently throughout the year, and especially during my illness in Tovember and December." " W.T.A." On behalf of thc County Commissioner, I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours faithfully, G. EDWARDS, S.B.S.J. County Officer, East Riding of Yorkshire.

Competitions.-In the County Competitions, held in February, l\IIddle brough Central Ambulance Division won the Yorkshire Bronze Shield and I C.I. (BIllinrrharn) Division the F. VV. Gibbon Bowl, whilst Stockton and Thornaby .I. 'urswg were highest in the Ladies of Yorkshire Cup. In the TO. \,1 District Finals, the I.C.I. team secured the GIbbon Bo\\ I and Stockton and Thornaby Kursing the Burdon Challenge Cup, the latter thus quahfyin n to compete in the Finals in London. The Robert Anderson Cup for the most efficient Ambulance Di\'i ion was awarded to Whitby, this being the first time it has come into the 'orth Eiding. Interest in competition work is fostered in two or three Divisions by Divlsional or local competi1..ions, for which trophies have been generously provided by friends . A .R. P.-The organization of Classes and their instruction and examination, ha:-. entailed considerable work for the County Starr, and the C.A.G.S. and Grade 1 and 2 Instructors have been in constant demand throughout the ounty. Twenty-four Grade I, 39 Grade 2, and 377 A.H..P. and G.P.C. Certificates have been awarded . ominations for Easinwold A.R.P. School are of course limited, but when granted candidates to the full number have easily been obtained, and I pecial, I First, and 1 Second Class Certificates have been awarded. Some of the larger local works have arranged for the training of their employees. and the services of the Brigade have been in frequent demand for instruct.ion and examination. County Officer J. Pearson was honoured by an invitation to act as First Aid Commandant for the County Borough of Middlesbrough, and his work has been highly appreciated by the M.O.H. and the A.R.P. Committee of t.he ounci!. Owing to the fact that the North Riding Area embraces 6 Divisions in Co. Durham . I am called on to represent the Brigade on both County committees, and a good deal of time is thus occupied. V.A .D.-There are 29 men (12 mobile) and 45 women (6 mobile) enrolled in V.A. Detachments. R.N.A.S.B.R.-Sixteen men are enrolled in t.his Reserve. Public Duties.- The readiness shown by all ranks to meet calls of all kinds is very marked, and the Police, organizers of functions and others constantly show 1..heir appreciation of the services rendered. Thanks.-In a comparatively small area where the engaging of clerical assistance is .h.ardly justified, ev~n if financially feasible, the new duties and responsibilities ansmg from the pecullar needs of the time fall heavily on the County Staff, and I cannot speak too highly of the help I receive from my colleagues, particularly from my County Officer. Amongst the other Officers and the Rank and File, there exists the same spirit of readiness to give willing service when and wherever asked for, and it is indeed a pleasure, as well as an honour, teJ be associated with them in the work of the Brigade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRED. P. WILSON, County Commissioner, Commander (Brother) of the Order.

VII District in th e Brigade Finals gaining fourth place. The new Ross-on-Wye Headquarters w ere practically complete at the end of the year. Attendances by Nursing Sisters at the Hereford shire General Hospital have s hown a very large increase. I personally inspected and re-examined all Divisions, and am satisfied that an efficient standard is being maintained. I have inspected all Ambulances. They are b eing constantly used , and are b eing well looked after. 504 cases have been rem oved and 44 road a ccidents dealt with. Public duties have increased and Road Patrols have been well maintained during the summer months. There is a r eal spirit of enthusiasm right through the county, and I am looking forward to further expansion in the near future. In conclusion, I must express my appreciation and admiration for my County staff. ~at has been achieved in this county is very largely due to their great enthusiasm and capacity for hard work. I am very grateful to them for all they have done. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, IAN W. MACGREGOR .

Road Service.-There were 3,935 road accidents attended and the motor ambulances travelled 3..J.,7 8 miles in connection with these cases. Forty Roadside First Aid Stalions are manned, and there are ]20 First Aid Cabinets maintained on the highway in various parts of the three counties. Beach Servlce.-The 12 Beach IIuts continue of much importance in dealing with the seaside ca ualties during the holiday season. Turs/lZ U Divlszons.-Officers and Members of Nursing Divisions have proved a great asset to the work of the Brigade, and their devoted service during the year is beyond all praise. They treated 3,95 cases; turned out with the motor ambulanc s on 4,632 occasions and made 5,3..J.6 voluntary attendances at local hospitals. I cannot express sufficiently in writing my high appreciation of the devoted services rendered to the Brigade by the Lady District Superintendent, Mrs. C. Falwasser, C.ST.]., and I would be failing in my duty if I did not record that the efnciency of the. 'ursing personnel is largely due to her untiring energies, and sel£sacrifice on theIr behalf.

JOH

to the District Staff and Officers of Members of the various Divisions concerned, for all they did to make the Competitions so uccessful. Review.-On the invitation of the Herne Bay Council the Di trict held its Review and Church Parade in this popular seaside resort. You, ir, very kindly inspected the Parade, and all ranks were inspired by the fact they were inspected by their Chief Commissioner, and also by the kindly words you addre sed to them. It was a great parade of over 3,500 members of the District, many of whom had pleasant memories of the parade held in the same town some ten year prcviou ly. Inspections.-The Annual Revie'ws and hurch Parades are nol allowed to count for efficiency, and every Divi ion has to be inspected annually in its own home . Inspections have been carried out by one of the A sistan t om mIssio ners, Lady District Superintendent, or other member of the District, and with very few exceptions nothing but praise has been recorded for the admirable way ' uperintendents turned out their parades; the efficiency of the members, and last but not least, the excellent way in which ecretaries, Treasurer, and 'torekeepers carried out the duties of their respective departments. Police and l\lunicipal A uthorities.-The a istance so readily given at all hmes has done a very great deal to ensure the present value of the Brigadc to the community. \ Vithout their help it would be impo sible to carryon in the same cxtended sphere, as it is the privilege and honour of the Brigade to do to-day. On behal f of all ranks I desire to record my very grateful thanks to Pollce and :'Iuniclpal Authorities in the Counties of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and the hannel I ·lands .

Conclusion.-r. or must it be forgotten that all sorts of help i ' unos tentaliously given by those who assist in the organization, clerical work, flag clays, and other collections, social events, and subscribers, without which the Bri gade could noL properly function; to these silent workers I take this opportunity of saying "Thank you ". As the years roll by I am more than cver grateful for the extrem ly efficient way in which my staff carry out their duties, for their loyalLy 1.0 myself, and for theIr most valuable help in carrying out my own duties a Commissioner. I am proud of my District. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. A. RICHARDS, Commissioner, No . YIII Dislrict, Knight of Grace, Order of S1.. John.

There are 24 Ambulance Divisions, 11 ursing Divisions, 10 Cadct .\mbulance Divisions and 5 Cadet Iursing Divi ions. They show an increase lO personnel of 49 , and of one ursing Division over the previous year. Honours and Awards.-The following have had the honour of bcing admitted ; Serving Sister Lady County Superintendent ::'Iiss Helen GryIIs. Serving Brothers Superintendent J ory, Illogan Division, Superintendent Heard and Ambulance Officer flIills, Launceston. The Vote of Thanks on Vellum of the Grand Pri"or and the hapter-General were awarded to the t. Ives, Camborne, and Redruth Division for their distinguished service at the wreck of the S.S. Alba at t. Iycs in J anuary, 1938. Ten Service l\Iedals, three first and one second Bar to thc en'icc :\fcdal were awarded. Competitions.-The following County Compet.itions were held : AMBULANCE.

In the IX District Competitions, Redruth won the District hield, and they also won the Symon Eccles Cup in the Brigade Finals in Lond on, being placed second. The entries for competitions were much better than in past years, much keenness being shown. There is still room for improvement. I always impress on officers the great training and educational value of competitions, quite apart from whether their team wins or loses. First Aid.-This was rendered on 15,304 occasions, and of itself speaks for the enormous value of the Brigade to the community-of the suffering relieved and of lives possibly saved. This service is particularly valuable in di stricts where there is no resident doctor. Transport.-There are 15 Ambulances under Brigade control. During the year, they have carried 3,777 cases, and covered a di stance of 64,665 miles. This is an increase of 493 patients and 9,708 miles over last year, and considering that the work

DISTRICT.

239

is done practically entirely by Voluntary drivers and often entail~ long distance~ and considerable absence from home, speaks volumes for the enthUSiasm of our dnver~. I would like specially t.o thank them, and those employers of labour who allow their employees time off to carryon their ambulance duties without los~ of. wages: am very pleased to see that on 206 occasions the me~bers of .1 ,urslD.g DlvlslOns accompanied the Ambulance when conveying female pabent.s-thls IS as It should be, but I feel that more use should be made of the nurses in accompanying female cases. Road CaSlfaltzes.-This year, 296 accidents were attended, entailing a mileage of 4 ,362 miles. This is, I am sorry t.o say, an increase over last y~ar of 23 c<l:ses ar: d 1,0-7 mIles. To deal with these road accidents we have establIshed 34 Flrst AId Posts and 13 Roadside Aid Boxes. ThiS has become a very important part of Brigade \Vork, as th~ ~m.bulance frequently arrives before the medical man, and in cases where severe lDJunes have occurred t.h members will have to make rapid decisions as to the best method of treatment. It IS in t.hese cases that I feel s ure that men trained by First Aid Competitions will render the best service, and it also show~ the necessity of .all members of a Brigade belOO' up to standard, as they may be reqUIred to act on theu own, away from their Orficers . P1Ibilc DlItlcs .-.\ll important shows-athletic gatherings and football matches were atlendetl. In most of the important seaside resorts, members have been on duty on the beach. Lljlboals. - ,:\ll ornish Divisions are linked up with a Division, ~r:d. ar~ availa~le if required Especially good 'w ork has been done by the St. Ives DlvlSlOn lD assoclat.ion with the Lifeboat stationed there. A nnllal hlSpcCtlO)1S alld Re-eramirzatlOns.-These give a percentage of 72 and 75 for men, and 76 and 69 for 'Nomen. Church Paradc -The Annual Church Parade was held at Launceston, when over 700 members attended-the church being unable to hold them all. I inspected the parad , and was vcry pleased WIth the general smartness. A parade was also held at illadron hurch , whi ch church was founded by the Order and "vas well attended by member from th \Vest of the County. anon Jennings of ?Iadron is a Sub-Chaplain of t.he Order. XllIsiILt; DI1.'isiO )1s . -'Cnder the s upervision of my Lady County Superintendent ~fI.!:i IT e len GrylIs, they are domg excellent work. I would like to thank those local volunt.ary hospitals who ha\'e allowed members of the ~ursing Divisions to attend for trainIng. This is a most valuable practical training for the nurses and one that desen-es every enco uragement.

THE Co . ' TY O;\I;\IISSIONER, COUNTY OF COR ' \\' ALL.

I have much pIca ure in submitting to you my report on the ' ursing Divisions and Cadet Xursing Divisions of ornwall for 193 . It has been a very busy year for most of us . In 7 Divisions the Xurses are a ked to accompany the men in the Ambulance when there is a female patient, and in one Divi ion, the men n ever take a female patient without a l' urse to accompany them . In one Division a 'N'urse went with a female patient in the Ambulance to London , and in about three weeks ' time the same Nurse was asked to 0'0 to London and bring the patient home by train, and when they arrived back sa fely the Doctor complimented the Nurse on the very efficient way in which she had carried out all her duties. In Divisions, the · urses have been very helpful in the various local Hospitals, they have made 5 1 attendances, and have been on duty for 8 separate we~ks . t o help during the summer holiday . I have received letters of thanks, and apprecla tlOn of the most efficient way in which the Nurses carried out their work, from the Hospital ommittees. In A.R.P., we have one C. .G.S., three L.A.G.C., and several Grade 1 Instructors, and they have all spent a lot of their time in teaching the public as well.as our own personnel. One Division started and arranged the lectures for the CounCillors of the town; and all the Divisions have been helping the women volunteers in their several districts with the practical part of the First Aid lectures. This year, the Royal Cornwall Show was held at Helston for 2 days. The Helston ursing Division arranged a casualty tent, and were helped on the days by

2 other Divisions. (One day to their surprise they were visit.ed by Major DarvilSmith, who told them he thought the equipment of the tent was just. right, the only complaint he had to make was that he had taken some time to find the tent.) The Falmouth Division own a Beach Hut and two Turses are present on the beach every afternoon, during the summer months they attended to 139 cases t.his year. In tvvo Divisions a Medical Comforts Depot is maintained, which is a very great boon to the people of the districts concerned. I hope before long other Divisions \;" ill follow suit, but most of them find it very difficult to have sufficient room to store the medical comforts. One Division supplied 196 Comforts t.o sick people this year. All the Divisions turn out for Public Dut.y when they are asked, and two Divisions were given donations from the Carnival Committees in appreciation for their services. The Cadet ursing Divisions are all improving, and most of the adels are very keen indeed. HELE

Cadet Divisions.-'\'here theyexi t they are mo t enthusiast.ic, and Dl\i ions would be well advised to start them, as they impart useful knowledge to the boy and girls, besides acting as a nursery to the enior DiviSIOns. The mam difficulty is t.o find suitable leaders who understand young people. ;,1y thanks are due to::.rr . Townsend (late County uperintendent) for presenting a shield for competitions amongst the Nursing Cadets. Air Raid Precautions.-A great deal of work has been done by my ount.y Officer, E. O. Samuil, in arranging and carrying out gas instruction aSSIsted by our two C.A.G.S. Instructors. I would also like to thank our Grade I Inslructors for the many classes they have held under the Local Authorities. I have been appointed County Commandant and Ambulance Officer for th e Casualty Service of the County- and in t.hat position have received the fullest support from Divisions in organizing the Aid Posts, First Aid Part.les, and th e Ambulance Service. l\Ir. E. O. Samuil reports as follows : SIR,

I beg to submit my report on A.R.P. work in the County for 193 . There has been a satisfactory revival of interest taken in the work during the year, this has been more particularly marked in the later months. I am glad to report. we were able to take advantage of the offer of two vacancies at Falfield and filled t.hem With a Bngade member and a member of the -ursing Division. Both gained a first-clas pas, and since have been doing very efficient work in their respective areas. ' IX members have also gained the L.A.G.C. Certificates, t.hree of whom belong to the Kursing Division. Lectures have been well attended, with the resulting increase in t.he number of members qualified, also there has been quit.e a large increase in the number of auxiliary members. The Lecturers have done very good work among the General Public. I am very pleased to'report a very keen interest among the .l -ursing Divisions, and I wish to thank the Lady Officers and the Tursing isters for the very efficient help they have rendered during the year. It is pleasing to find that numbers who have taken the examinations as auxiliary members are taking the First Aid examinations, and among the ladies the Home Nursing Examination, and so working to become fully qualified members of the Brigade. The coming year promises to be a very busy one, and will no doubt mean a further increase in the number of those who wish for qualification under t. John's. I would remind Officers and members of Brigade and Tursing Divisions to keep up to date in their training and to remember that yearly re-examination is essential. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, E. O. Al\IUIL, County Officer, A.R.P. The following certificates have been issued to date : A ,nbulance Divisions.

The Government's Co-ordinated Area for Defence extends far beyond the latter city (with its nearly a quarter million population) into W est Devon and Eastern Cornwall. Therefore, the strategic importance of thi Command has meant much activity in Anti-Gas training long before the A.R.P. Act cau ed WIder and general public interest. It may be claimed that the Brigade wa an" advance guard" in Civil Passive Defence; and I rejoice in all the happy and effectl\:e relationships with H.::'I. Services, e pecially the uperintendent and ~ laff of the H.oyal :i\aval Anti-Gas School of the Plymouth ommand. The generous faCIlitIes they have placed at the Brigade's di posal have been greatly appreciated. During the year two more Officers were trained and subsequently qualified as Instructors at the Civilian Anti-Gas chool at Falfield, Gloucestershire; and many Brigade Officers and members engaged in the Royal Dockyards have been appointcd to responsible duties in the well-developed Passive Defence ervice of those establI~h ments. A large percentage of Brigade personnel ha enrolled in the various Defence Casualty Services of the Local Authorities in my" ounty ", and in tbe Septembcr crisis hurried arrangements were made for these to play their part. \ ' ..-\.D.s were also ready for the call and duties were undertaken in halls where mass l1ttmg of civilian respirators was being carried out. omprehcnsive plan wcre ready for immediate staffing of a ::'Iilitary FamilIes Hospital had the regular personnel been rushed away for sterner tasks. The Brigade has actively co-operated in A.R.P. exercises, and among the offiual tributes received I will quote from one: "The exercise was, I belle\'e, a marked success, due in no small measure to the excellent co-operation from yourself and your organization. . . . I would like to pay a special tribute to the efficiency of your personnel which made a deep impression on those who watched them at work . . . . " Brigade personnel have co-operated with the Royal Xavy, the ,\rmy, and the Royal Air Force in public Anti-Gas demonstration work. At the close of the year, A.R.P. qualifications were as follows, but there was a very great deal more instructional activity ahead : Civilian Anti-Gas School Instructors 3 Civilian Anti-Gas School (Equivalent) Instructor 1 Grade I Instructors . <:10 Grade II Instructors 6 Holders of Anti-Gas Certificates 295 L~sses.-The death of Lady 1\Iounstephen, of Devonport, meant the loss of a very graclOus encourager of ursing Services. I regret to report the passing of Lady Divisional Superintendent 1\1rs. :;\1. Lawrence of the Plymouth Co-operative ursing Division. he was an Officer who was held in high regard for her long and devoted service. The Unit is continuing in effectiveness under the capable leadership of Mrs. Lawrence's successor, llr . D. G. Kerswill. County Officer T. D. Perkins, after about 28 years' Brigade service, has retired. H~ play~d an impor~ant part in pioneer work in this District, and will be particularly mIsse~ m the outlymg Ambulance Divisions.

Outstanding Public D uty.-In addition to thousands of ordinary public duties, the following events of a special character-so worthy of note-were staffed: His Majesty's birthday celebrations parade; visit of H.M.

Everyone connected with the Show spoke very highly of the Ambulance arrangements and your Officials and Attendants are to be congratulated on their various duties . . . . " Among other encouraging testimonials for public duty received during the year was one from the Admiral Commanding the Port of Plymouth. I feel, however, that I must. spccially eulogize all the unnoticed but extremely valuable work done by those \\' ])0 care for the children's outings; obscure teams and sports gatherings, who scn'e day and night in the Ambulance tations, and accompany invalids or crippled lIttle ones with rare devotion. :M embers of the Brigade in this" County" were associated with two emergencies of more than local int.erest. They took off from the rescue ship the injured Keeper of the Eddystone after that series of dramatic attempts to release from the stormbounc1llghthou 'e which thrilled the nation. The other occasion WetS at the destructive fire at. Buckland Abbey, when the world-famous Drake's Drum was in peril; in fact for a time the Drum was under Ambulance men's oversight! COIJlPllitiolls.-The ounty Ambulance Championship trophy (" Coronation Cup ") was won by the ::'Iillbay Railway Divi ion.

I cannot state that, among the men, competition work i taken up so generally a ' It ought to be, but. the huge amount of public and ambulance duty for the comparatJ\'cly fe\\" , t.he call for A.RI'. training, and all the extra time being worked at the Xa\'al establIshmcnt' in tbis district combine to militate against competition nthu , laSl11. Despite these factors, I \.vish every Division in city, town, and countryide could JOclude ompetitive Flr ' t Aid in their regular curriculum. I hope, also, the .\mbulance Cadets will revive their ounty Contest. I am gratLlied to report the gift of a hand ome trophy to encourage nur ing proficlCncy from the Lady ::'layoress of Plymouth who was in office last year PIT.. , olamon :t.cphen ). il/spectioll .- During the year my taft Officers and I, between us, undertook all the annual inspectIOns. In nearly evcry case the parades and work done-also recorJ · w re satl'dactory. Financially, the Brigade Divisions under my charge are deeply JOdebted to local ommlUces recognized by the t. John Ambulance .\ <; 'oclation for theIr upport. orne are happily provided with headquarters from the same source. Xl(}SlIIg Persol/Jlel.-.\ I have submitted the detailed and encouraging annual report of Lady ounty uperintendent Mrs. Balsdon, there is no need for me here to enlarge on the 'elf-sacrifice and efficiency of the Lady Officers (professional and lay) ancl ' i.-ter. on idering their numerical strength (about 200 including probationers) it amaze me what they accompli h in normal ambulance duty, voluntary aid, ho, pital a sistance, and in Civil Defence training. The fine example of their Lady aunty uperintendent, who devotes her life to the work of the Order, cannot fail but to inspire thi ounty's:i\ur ing Service. Cadets - .\t Tavi tock, where t. John Ambulance activities are a credit to a small town, an excellent adet Division for boys ha been r ecruited. Furthermore, the year closed with prospects of a large adet mbulance Unit at the Sutton High ·chool. In my next report I hope also to record a new Division at Stonehouse. 1Jnfortunately, a a" set-off ", the Friary Cadet Ambulance Unit is in what I trust only suspended animation. I welcomc the altrui m which prompts the Girl Cadets to add to their ordinary Brigade work much toil for poor and sick children . Their gifts are not only fine specimens of \ hat clever young fingers can do, but are striking evidence of how the girl have caught the spirit of our Order: "Pro Utili tate Hominum." l\ly thanks are due to the Superintendent of the Plymouth City Fire Brigade for granting facilities in his modern Central Station for Cadets to be professionally taught and examined in elementary fire-fighting, Appreciation.-The foregoing record of an arduous year's work is only possible because of the loyal and efficient co-operation of my Staff Officers, and of all ranks I am privileged to command. My heartfelt gratitude is tendered to everyone of them, also to the Medical Officers under Lieut.-Colonel J. P . Stephens vVard , who is such a tower of strength as my County Surgeon. I am not unmindful of our Brigade's indebtedness to Civic Heads and other fl.

PLY !O"L"TH.

28th FebYHayy, 1939. THE COUNTY CO;\IMISSIONER, COU TTY OF PLYMOUTH, SOUTH-\YEST DEVO IR,

, AND EAST CORNWALL.

I have the honour to submit my report for the Nursing and Cadet Kursing Divisions of this County for the year ended December, 193 . The demands made upon the Divisions has increased again thi year, and in a brief composite report it is difficult to give an adequate statement of the achieyements of the individual ursing Divisions, who by their many sacrifices have maintained the great tradition of the Order in this part of the country, and responded so readily and loyally to the overv,rhelming demands, at times, made upon them. 2,973 Public Duties have been staffed by the Tur es, an increa e of 23'2 on the previous year. The nature of these duties were various, including the visl of Her ylajesty Queen Iary, when every available ... Turse was required for staffing the route of procession, Special Posts, and :\Iobile Aid Posts. Other dutie requiring considerable personnel were Tavy 'W eek, Boy Scouts Jamboree and Rally, Bath and \ Vest Show, Devonport Hospital Carnival \Veek, altash Pageant Fete and Fair, Sheep Dog Trials, etc. Equally important from a First id point of view are the considerable number of Children's Sports and School Treats which have been staffed, Turses accompanying the parties by rail or road and being responsible for First Aid treatment in case of accident or sudden illness at the outing. A great many letters have been received during the year from the organizers of these events, expressing appreciation for help given when neces ary, but even more for the feeling of security the presence of our Nurses has given, even when their services have not been required . Guide Camp.-A Ranger member of the Ford Tursing Divi ion undertook Guide Camp duty at Harford Bridge. A.R.P. Displays.-During Navy \ Veek, when special .RP. Di plays were arranged by the staff of the Anti-Gas School R .... Barracks, Devonport, to educate the civilian in this important subject, specially selected Officers and members of the ~ursing Divisions who have qualified as Grade I Instructor were privileged to assist the Taval Staff. It proved a very popular attraction at Tavy \Yeek, and the variety of questions the members were asked after each display proved that the audiences had given close attention to the demonstrations. Similar displays were given in connection with the Army at Horne at the Royal Citadel and the Empire Air Display at Mount Batten Sea Plane Base. The same members co-operated with the Medical and A.RP. Officers in charge of the arrangemen ts. A.R.P. Instruction.-Courses have been arranged throughout the year and Brigade members have gained Certificates and Vouchers for requalifying in this subject. I nstruction has also been given to the A.R.P. Volunteers in the City and ounty Schemes, and for classes in business premises, boarding schools and other privately arranged classes. Specially selected Officers and members have successfully passed the examination for Grade I Instructors, and a very high standard has been attained. First Aid Post at Plymouth H oe.-This was kindly provided by the City Corporation for u se during the season, and the Brigade Pennon was flown daily from the middle of J uly t o September. 143 persons received First Aid treatment for major or minor injuries; happily the minor injuries predominated, but there were some patients who h ad to be r emoved t o h ospitals or their homes by ambu lance .

TO doubt owing to the great historic associations of Plymouth Hoe, and the fact that ocean liners are frequently arriving at the port, Brigade members from overseas often call when they see the Brigade Pennon, and the contact made with the horne and overseas members help us to realize how vast the activities of the Brigade are throughout the world, and how wonderful the Order of St. John, of which it forms a part and in which we are privileged to be members. Hospital Duties.-Attendances at hospital have been a regular part of Divisional and V.A.D. duties, and we are deeply indebted to the matrons of voluntary hospitals for opportunities afforded for experience in Wards. Appreciation has also been received from the matrons for the efficient help given by St. J ohn nurses, especially in time of emergency and sickness among hospital staff. 270 attendances have been made, including the entire staffing of one of the smaller hospitals on the occasion of the Matrons' hri tmas Dinner and Dance to staff. During the crisis, emergency arrangements were completed at very short notice for St. John Trained urses in po. session also of C.B. f., and other members of the Brigade to staff the Military FamilLes Hospital during the period between the regular staff being mobilized, and the ick Berth Reserve and Mobile .A.D.s arriving. Fortunately the situation eased, and the e arrangements were not put into operation, but had they been nece sary the arrangements were complete in every detail and the members awaiting immediate call. o I tJLOPcedic Clim:c Duties continue satisfactorily, and appreciation has been expr s ed by the Clinic Secretary for the very valuable assistance given by our members. Crippled alld In valid Children attending the two open-air schools are daily conveyed to and from the schools by a specially constructed ambulance, accompanied by a nurse. This duty makes very severe demands upon the members owing to the early morning duty, but it is very definitely one of the finest pieces of work they do, and although the chIldren are not sound in health and limb, they are some of the jolliest and happie t children in the city, and need as much supervision en route as any normal school children. COlllpctltio/ls.-Hesuits of the County Competition, 193 : Gale hield herwell "Nursing Division. aroline Beckly up Plymouth Co-operative Tursing Division oronatlOn H.ose 130wl herwell I ursing Division. Dorothy \Yard 13 d-making up herwell Tursing Division. During the presentation of the above awards, the Lady Mayoress (?llrs. Solomon St phens) expressed her admiration of the work of the nurses and stated she would lIke to add a furlher trophy for competition. This has been received, and is a hallenge Trophy in the form of a very beautiful Cup of unusual design. It is suitably inscnbed to commemorate the year of office as Lady :\Iayoress, and inscribed with the oat of Arms of the City of Plymouth. It will be known as the " ~Iary Stephens" hallenge Trophy and will be competed for in the 1939 contests for the first time. ursing adets have shown great efficiency in competition work, and the result of the adet ounty Competition in December resulted as follows:Davey hampionship Cup. Sherwell Cadet ursing Division. Runners-up Ford Cadet ursing Division. 3rd place. Friary Cadet Nursing Division. Hastings Cup for Bed-making Sherwell Cadet Nursing Division. Voluntary A id Detachments of the Order of St. john.- early all Officers and members of the Tursing Divisions of the Brigade are also enrolled members of one of the Voluntary Aid Detachments. The Annual County Controllers and \Var Office Inspections took place at the Royal Sailors' Rest, Devonport, on 3 1st ovember. All Detachments sati~fied the requirements of the Inspection Officers and continuance of the Detachments was recommended. Six Detachments were inspected by the County Controller, Brig.-General \ V. F. S. Edwards, whose inspection was immediately followed by RA. LC. Officers, and tests in First Aid, Home Nursing, and many other snbjects included in the training of a V. .D. were then carried out. Forty Ambulance Cadets acted as patients, and Stretcher Squads supplied by the Devonport Ambulance Division transported the patients to beds in a temporary hospital arranged in the Hall. very pleasing feature of t his Inspection was the large number of Probationer V. .D.s present on Parade: many have gained a First Aid Certificate and are under instruction in Home Tursing and Anti-Gas measures. They showed keenness and enthu iasm and are looking forwar d to gaining

the other certificate which will enable them to be enrolled a ursing members in one or other of the Detachment. Nursing Cadets.-These Divisions are continuing to produce an excellent type of Cadet, keen, efficient, and an..xious to be of service in the community. Proof of this was again given at Christmas when hospitals, children's association dealin a with sick children, and other institution received Christ rna parcels from the ~ ~J[sing Cadets of cosy, dainty garments, doll, and knitted counterpane, which the adets had been busily making in the months before the festive sea on. win~ to the clearance of a thickly populated part of the city, and the transfer of families to a new housing estate, the Devonport Cadet Nur ing Di\'i ion has cea ed to eXIst. This is a matter of regret as the Cadets showed great promi e, but an endeavour i:-: being made to trace them and get them attached to other Divisions. Obitllary.-During the year we have suffered a very con iderable loss in the passing of Lady 1\Iounstephen, the Divisional President of the Devonport 1 Tursing Dlvi ion, a~d.l\:'Irs. 1\1. Lawrence, Lady Superintendent of the Plymouth o-operati\'e Kursing DiviSlOn. Both these ladies by their gracious manner and efficient ser"ice had a great influence among the members of the Brigade in thi County. I wish to thank all the Officer and members of the 1 ' ursing DiVisions wh o ha\'e so loyally carried out my instructions, often at considerable inconvenience to themselves, but by so doing have maintained an excellent report of sen'lce anel usefulness.

A .R.P.-The European cri is in eptember last threw a great responsibility on our or~anization, as it was then found that very few A.R.P. volunteers, apart from BnO'ade m~mbers, were fully trai~e? . 1\.Iany Local Authorities who previously had not re~ogDlz~d t~e necessIty for IllitIatIllg and supporting A.R.P. Classes, turned to us III their dIfficulty, and gave us practically carte blanche to do everything necessary to meet the emergency. The emergency produced a large number of volunteers of both sexes who had had no training but were willing to help. In some of the larger centres of the County, A.R.P. First Aid or Home Nursing Classes have been running every night of the week. Some of these classes have numbered one hundred candidates, and it has been difficult to find accommodation and Instructors for all the trainees. The Ai~ Rai? 'W ardens and Special Constables have in many cases asked us to arrc: n.ge FIrst AId Classes f<;>r them, and in this connection I wish to pay tribute to the untIrIllg work and enthUSIasm of the Honorary Secretaries of the local branches of the. St. J oh? A~bulance A~soci,~.tion. The Chi.e~ Secretary, too, has given us his willing assI~tance III thIS matter, .Ill spIte of the addItIonal straIll placed on his department. SIX members of the Bngade have obtained C.A.G.S. Certificates at Falfield, and many others have been successful in obtaining Grade 1 Certificates through attendinO' our London courses arranged by the Chief Commissioner. In this connection I wish to emp~asize the part played by our Brigade Surgeons, 3 having attended the Falfield AntI-Gas School, and 18 others hold the Grade 1 Instructors' Certificate.

THE

J OH~

AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

Taking into consideration the number of First Aid and A.R.P. Classes carried out under the regis of the Brigade, to which the general public has been admitted, I feel there has been a lack of initiative in obtaining personnel for our Auxiliary Reserve . In view of the demands made upon our Organization for staffing First Aid posts, and supplying l\Iobile and First Aid parties, it is very necessary that our reserve should be considerably strengthened without further delay; men over military age and not in reserved occupations are especially required for this purpose. County Inspection.-On 27th July the County was honoured by the visit of the Chief Commissioner and Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, who in pected the .\mbulance and Kursing Divisions drawn from Torth, East, and l\Iid Devon. About 1,000 members of the Brigade paraded for this event on the Exeter ity Football Ground, which was kindly lent to us for the occasion. Both :'Ilajor-General Sir John Duncan and Lady Perrott expressed themselves as being sati fled with the inspection, and commented favourably on the organization of the Parade. The Chief Commissioner wrote the following day saying: "I thought the Parade yesterday was a great success, and the turnout excellent." 'We have to thank the Mayor of Exeter and the Exeter Branch of the Association for their hospitality and co-operation, and I should like to pay tribute to the valuable help given by Mr. Harold Rowe, the Chairman, and 1\1r. Rayner, the ecretary of the Exeter local Association. Another name which must be mentioned in connection with the Inspectio n is that of the Chief Constable of Exeter, 1\1r. F. T. Tarry, O.B.E. The traffic co ntrol , entrance to the ground, and escort for the Chief om missioner were all carned a u t by the Police under the supervision of Mr. Tarry. Obituary . -The Kewton Abbot Corps has sustained another 10 s through the death of its Corps Superintendent, Major E. \V. Greenslade. Thi Officer enrolled in the Brigade in January, 1903, and apart from \Yar Service in India had been an efficient member ever since that date. He was a Serving Brother of the Order, and Widely esteemed in the County. Braunton has lost the services of their Brigade Surgeon, Doctor J. . G. Dickenson, who died in the autumn. He haLl given valuable assistance to the Brigade III Korth Devon , and the Braunton Divisions especially regret the loss of hiS influence and prestige. The death of Corporal vVestern, the Torquay Divisional Secretary, i \ery much r egretted. Appoinimenis.-Corps Officer A. W. Latimer (S.B.ST.] .)was promoted to County Officer vice County Officer J . J. Pepperell (S.B.ST.].). The latter reSigned on reachlll g the age-limit, after many years of devoted service in the Brigade. In December County Officer David Jones (S.B.ST.]) was transferred from i\Ierthyr Tydfil County to Devon, and has been attached to the Mid Devon Area taff. Lady Corps Superintendent Miss F. K. vVood and Lady Divisional uperintendent Miss D. "Whitehead have been promoted to Lady County Officer. The latter will supervise the ursing Divisions in ~lid Devon, and the former those in Exeter, North and East Devon. Major E. E. Lightwood, R.A.M.C . (T.A.), has been appointed County Surgeon in the East Devon Area. Mr. A. C. Taylor, of Paignton, has kindly undertaken publicity duties for the County, and will supply the Gazette and First Aid with items of interest concerning our activities in Devon. Progress.-New Ambulance Divisions have been registered in Bradninch and Okehampton (Mid Devon), Colyton, and Cullompton (East Devon) and a Nursing Division in Bradninch. Ambulance Cadet Divisions have been registered in Gittisham, Honiton, and Ottery St. Mary (East Devon), Ilfracombe, and Lynton, and Lynmouth ( Torth Devon) and Paignton (Mid Devon), while a Nursing Cadet Division has been registered in Combe Martin (North Devon). There are now 16 Ambulance Cadet Divisions in the County, and it is felt that the time has come to appoint a Superior Officer to supervise and inspect these Divisions. Corps Officer A. Wheatley has resigned, and the Totnes Corps has been disbanded. Appreciation.-I cannot close this Report without thanking my Assistant County Commissioners, the Lady County Superintendent, the A.R.P. Staff Officer, County Officers, Corps and Divisional Officers, and the Rank and File of the Brigade for their willing assistance and co-operation, without which it would have been impossible to maintain the present efficient state of the units in the County. I also desire to thank the Honorary Secretaries of the Local Associations, and the

HIEF O;\I;llISSIO:-.rER, THE 'T. JOHN A;\IBUL,.\NCE BRIGADE.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the East Devon Area for the year ending 31st December, 193 . The year has been a satisfactory one of steady progress. An excellent spirit of co-operation exists among all Divisions in the Area. Informal meelings of Officers have been held at Sidmouth, when various problems have been discussed. The SIr Garbull I\:nott Cup was competed for this year at Sidmouth, and not at Exmouth, as It was decided that the competition should be held each year in a chfIerent town. Great interest was shown, the Bastin Hall was filled to capacity. The attendance of the County Commissioner and :'I1rs. Vick was much appreciated. AppOl1ltlJlel1ts.-)'Iajor E. E. Lightwood, R.A.M.C. (T.D.), has been promoted to ounty urgeon Vlce Dr. Trevor Preece, who resigned on account of pressure of profesional duties, and by reason of residing outside the Area. lowe a debt of gratitude to the latter for advice and services freely given. Co-operatlOll, R ed Cross.-There is co-operation between the two Societies in Beach Hut and A .R.P. Duties. ExpaJ/sIOH.-Every opportunity is looked for. Kew Divisions have been registered at olyton and Cullompton. Preliminary investigations have been made at \Vhimple, fIculme, Culmslock, and Topsham. Corps Officer E. A. Bowden, M.B.E., is keeping in touch WIth the Exeter Air Port at Clyst Honiton in view of possible developments. Cadets.-As mentioned in my last report, interest was being shown in the Cadet movement . Exmouth have been re-formed, new Divisions have been registered at Gittlsham , Honiton, OtteI')T St. l'.lary, and registrations are pending at Axminster and Budlelgh al terton. A .R .P .-Co-operation exists with the Local Authorities, and reliance on the S .J. .E. during the September crisis was a marked feature. The A .R.P. film was shown throughout the Area during Tovember. A.R.P. (Anti-Gas) instruction has interfered somewhat with ordinary First Aid training.

Divisional Reports. Axmillster.- plendid work has been done by this Di\'ision. The old "\mbulance will be replaced by a new one early in the new year, due principally to the genera 'ity of Captain Nuttall, Knight of Grace of the Order, and President of the local ,\5 ociation. BlIdleigh Salterton.-Useful work has been done in staffing the Beach Hut and attendance at football matches, etc. There is every pro pect that with the appointment of a Superintendent and with reorganization, the DiviSIOn will oon reach full strength and pull its proper weight in the .Area. Colytoll.-A small but efficient division. It is hoped funds will soon be accumulated to put the men into uniform. Exmo1lth Towl1.-The Ambulance service of the town is carried out by tlli' clivi ion, and it is done in an efficient manner. The local authorities afford it support ,\ new Division, embracing the new outlying districts, is in cour e of forma Lion Gala, football, lifeboat duties have been carried out, as well as regular allendances at the Beach Hut. Honiton.-This Division has been handicapped by the absence of the upenndendent, necessitated by a promotion in his employment. 'ergeant lIall t, with the aid of a small committee, have maintained the Division in an efficlCnt tate. It has been decided to form a local branch of the Association. This should widen the interest in the town and strengthen the Division materially. OUery St. llJary.-Under uperintendent Prince good progress has be n made, and a Cadet Division formed. Football and carnlval duties have been carned out. Seaton and Beer.-Strength has been maintained, and the Beach Ilut regularly staffed in conjunction with the Red Cross. When the new Hospital is built at some distance from the town, an .\mbulance service will become imperative. Subscriptions to an Ambulance fund have already been received. Sidmouth.-Excellent work has been done, but the need for own lIeadquarters has become apparent if the work is to progre s. teps are being taken \\'lth this end in view. Cliff rescue work is carried out. In addition to rescuing visitors from perilous positions at considerable risk, Sergeant lIart and I rivate yril Iri'h ha\ e rescued animals. This has earned them the il ver Iedal of Societies concerned. The prestige of the Brigade has been enhanced among the public, especially the anm1allovcrs . Cullompton.-Although only formed this year, a motor ambulance has been obtained and many serious accidents dealt with. everal men are in uniform. 'Vith experience this should develop into an important Division and the key to development in this part of the Area. Appreciation.-In conclusion I wish to draw attention to the assistance of the Police, Local Authorities, and Press, and express my appreciation of the loyalty and support given me by my staff and all ranks. ERNEST J. 1\IOORS, S.B.ST .]., Assistant County Commissioner. TORTH DEVON AREA.

The progress of previous years has been well maintained with an incr~ase of st~ength of personnel and a further increase in t.he number of A.RP. Certdi.c<:ttes Issued. This work is being done well and intelligently, and the Sep~ember cnSlS found all per. onnel prepared t.o do ~heir duty in any ~al?~city. Interest m the Cadet movement is shown by the regIstratIOn of t.wo new DlvlSIOns, Ilfracombe and Lynton, both of which are flourishing. . , Ifarllstapie. The present strength is 31, ~nd an ir:crease IS expected, followmg a senes of Assoclat.ion lectures now complet.ed m the nelghbourhood. . . fe w II adquarters were obtain d and put into use last summ~r: .A large bUIldmg was put at the dIsposal of and altered to suit. the needs of t.~1e DlvlSIon by t~e !ow.n Council, t.he local Association supplying furniture and eqUIpment. The bUIldmg IS near t.h entre of the town and contains lecture rooms, stores, and garage. It was offiCIally opened by His \\'orship the layor in Oct.ober, when ~h~ Brigade and .\ssociatiol1 Jlags were flown, gifts f t.he Assistant Cou~ty .CommlssIOn~r and the :.\1ayor.

The usual (luties have bcen maintamed and, in addition, members attend the local cinemas each evening. Iembers have been attached t.o 12 local As~ociat~on Courses In Firs t AId t.o as. 1St the Lecturer. These lectures have been held m a nng of villages round the t.own in each of which it is hoped to enrol members and establish First .Aid Posts . •\ total of 373 patients were removed by motor ambulance, mileage being 4,953, One case had to be removed at short notice to Lincoln by road, and as the whole Journey could not be undertaken, arrangements were made with Brigade Headquarters [or an ambulance t.o complete the j.ourney, from London.

The Diyi ion is support.ed wholeheartedly by the Association, and is ably assisted in their work by the medical profession, to whom all thanks are du~. Bidefol'd. -This Division has maintained its progress of t~e prevIOus ye~r a~d the numbcrs are increasing. All public duties have been carned out conscientiously, while the scope of this work is rapidly widening. The number of cases attended shows an increase on last year, as also does the number of cases removed by mot~r ambulance. The new motor ambulance was dedicated early during the year and thlS vehicle ha proved of immense value, being fitted with the latest impro:rements, . Fir t Aid la ses have been well attended, and all members are now lD possesSlOn of A.R.I'. ertificat.es. Lectures in .1 .P. have been held in the neighbourhood with supplementary First Aid instruction. The First Aid Hut at Westward lIo has again been staffed by members throughout the summer, and the volume of work done increased greatly. . There is no doubt that this Division has improved enormously dunng the last few years, under the capable leadership of Superintendent Hockaday, and now ranks

252

THE

JOIIN

AMB LAN E BRIGADE.

with the other public services of the town. The A sociation is in a very sound position, and materially assists the Division in the carrying out of its increasing duties. Brallnion.-This Divi ion shows a record of sound work done willingly and keenly under conditions which should be improved in the ncar fut.ure. The numbers have not increased and consequently, more work has fallen upon individual members, but the Cadet Division should shortly provide the seniors with trained recruits, and enable a more even di tribution of duties. It is with deep regret that the untimely death of the Divisional Surgeon is recorded . This was a great loss to the Division, for Dr. Dickenson showed the greatest interest in the work and gave up a very great deal of his time to the Division, in fact it may be said that he turned up at nearly every pract.ice, and was at all times available to help and advice, as well as practical assistance. A.R.P. Lectures were well attended by members and t.he general public, no less than 46 Certificates being awarded, including 2 Grade 1 and 1 Grade 2 ertificat s. Duty at the orth Devon Aerodrome was again undertaken throughout. the summ r and when conditions made flying possible. The formation of the 1vil Air Guard has increased the instructional work of the Aerodrome, and consequently the hours of duty for members have also increased. The Hut at Croyde Bay has again been staffed and maintained during the summ r by members, and an increased number of cases attended. l\Iembers have co-operated with the bathing patrol, and every effort made to prevent tragic occurrences, happily with complete success. Combe 111 artin.-The past year shows an increase in serV1ce rendered to the publiC and members have answered all calls without delay. The motor ambulance has got. away promptly under all conditions-even at midnight-a good record 'w hen it is taken into account that many members ltve at some distance from the garage and most are employed several miles from home. Promptness and efficiency has certamly marked the services of both individuals and motor ambulance. All sporting events in the town and neighbourhood have been attended, e\'en the point-to-point races of the Exmoor Foxhounds out. on Exmoor, and members ha\ not hesitated to use their own private cars so that t.here should be no d lay 111 responding to a call. Classes in A.R.P. were held in the spring and 11 Cerl1ficat.es of vanous grad. obtained. The Divisional uperintendent, S. E . Passmore, attended the Hom Office course at the Anti-Gas School at Falfield, and gained a Fir t la s erllficat. As a result, he has been lecturing practically every night during the winter, often many miles away from the town. About two-thirds of the members attended the Annual Inspection at Exeter: this being in the middle of the season, many of these attended at great inconven1ence , while for others it was quite impossible to attend. Three members resigned, having left the district, and one new member was obtained. The Division now looks to the Cadet Division to bring Ils numbers back to normal. During the crisis, all members were in great demand, and a temporary scheme devised, which will undoubtedly now be enlarged upon in case of future neces 1ty. The Divisional Surgeon is welcomed back to duty after his long and serious illness in the autumn. Ilf1'acombe.-The past year has been a progressive one in all respects. During the year, 211 public duties were attended (an increase of 12 over last year) and 137 cases treated. The strength of the Division remains unchanged, as 5 members left and 5 new members were obtained as the result of an Association class. The First Aid Hut at vVoolacombe was staffed continuously from \Vhitsun to the middle of September, two members being on duty every Thursday and Saturday afternoon, and all day on Sunday. Duties at this Hut are shared bet.ween members of the B.R.C.S. and the Division, and the most happy co-operation exists between members of the two organizations. 106 cases were treated by the Division at this Hut: most of these were minor injuries, but t.here were several which necessitated removal to hospital. All football matches, both Rugby and Association, were attended by at least one member, and at the more important matches, t.wo members were on duty. In addition, two members were on duty during Hospital Carnival week, and on t.he evening of the procession, members patrolled the streets along the route and dealt

with several minor injuries. Several gymkhanas and fUes have been attended at the request of the organizers, and during t.he season members did nightly duty at the Alexandra Theatre, t.hese services being much appreciated. The Division ent.ered a t.eam for t.he Lady Forrest.er Cup Competition and were placed first., wit.h a margin of 30 points over the second t.eam. This is the second time that the Division has won the cup, having competed for it only 5 times. The cups present.ed by Dr. Boone and others provide keen compet.ition, and t.he efficiency of the Division is t.hus enhanced. The A .RP. class held early in t.he year resulted in 100 per cent passes at the subsequent examination. The t.hanks of the Division are due to Superintendent Passmore (t.he Instructor) for his help and generosity in foregoing his travelling expenses. At the request of t.he l\1.0.H., the Division have undertaken the instruction of A.H.. P. J\uxiliary St.retcher Squads, and the enthusiasm shown at these classes ensure t.he greater publicity of our work and organization. Practices wit.h the Teil-Robertson stretcher were again held during June at Hlllsborough, but. no call has yet. been made upon its services. The DiviSlOn attended t.he Annual Inspection at Exeter in July, and 28 members and adets \V re present; several members were unavoidably absent owing to their inabll1ty to leave work on that day. Throughout. the year no public dut.y has gone unfulfilled even during the month of August, ",ben the resources of the few members available were taxed to the utmost. Thanks are due to Dr. Boone for his untiring enthusiasm, for the success of the D1\'lSlOn 15 due Jll no small measure to his self-sacrificing efforts and personal interest in ils ",elIar , wiule Jll\'aluable help has been given to t.he Superintendent by A / Sgt. ' ut hffe and Corporal lIarris. Superintendent Rogers is to be congratulated on his excellent work with a small but. keenly efficient. Division. L \'llioH ami LyJlJllollih.-Dunng the year members were called upon for assistance -19 times: for invaltd transport 26 times, for road accident.s 6 times, for other aCClden ts 3 times; the remaining occurrences were attendances at Hospital and mlllOr lllJuncs where lhe ambulance was not required. The number of road accidents \\ as th lowest on record. As far as practicable, every football match was attended, but the number of men a\'atlable on aturday afternoons is so limited that this duty is difficult to arrange. For th arne rea on, help had to be obtained from t.he Barnstaple Division for the Easler aturday Mot.or Trial. DunnO' the year the l\lotor ambulance travelled 815 miles. This is far below an average year's work, and may be largely accounted for by the small number of road accidents . The Bedford ambulance is giving very satisfactory service, while the Dodge was agaJll kept at Lynmouth during the holiday season for emergency work. Every call \Va promptly answered, and all t.hanks are due to members' employers for t.helr co-operat.ion and help. The .l\.H.P. cIa s wa fairly well attended, 18 Cert.ificates being awarded. This can be regarded a very grat.ifying, but the crisis brought to light the fact that many more men and women will be needed, and it i hoped that these will be forthcoming next spring, when classes in First id and A.R.P. will again be held. Thi small Divi ion is doing great. work under difficult conditions, and is to be congratulated upon the way all its duties are carried out. ol(th JIoLtoll.-This Division is still expanding, due largely to the efforts of Dr. 'ash, the acting Superint.endent. Association classes have been well attended and there is every llldication that the membership will be further increased. The Division has answered all calls made upon it, and the number of public duties fulfilled shows an increa e on last year. The Motor Ambulance also shows increased working, members of the Division being responsible for servicing the vehicle as well as staffing it when out on dut.y. Close co-operation between the Division and public bodies, especially the Fire Brigade, is a feature which is an example to other organizations. Interest in A.R.P. has been maintained, all members holding Certi£icates in this branch of our work. It has been a pleasure to watch this Division develop from a small number of hard-working enthusiasts to a larger united body doing excellent service in the district, and enlarging the scope of its work as conditions demand. Cadets.-Two new Divisions were registered at the beginning of the year, one at Ilfracombe and the other at Lynton. Reports from both these Divisions show that the formation of these units filled a long felt want, and all the effort made to start

25-1

THE

them is well repaid by the enthu iasm shown by the member. Ilfracombe sent a team to Barnstaple to compete in the North Devon Area Cadet ompetition in February, shortly after regi tration, and had the sati faction of being placed third in competition with more experienced cadets. This competition was won by Barnstaple, the runners-up being Braunton, a Division formed the previou year. Barnstaple cadets have provided the senior Division with a number of trained recruits during the year, thus proving the value of cadet Divi ions to our organization. In Combe rartin the Division ha attracted a number of recruits, while some of the older boy transferred to the senior Division on becoming eligible for admission . The appointment of a Cadet Officer is contemplat.ed in order to deal with the increasing number of boys coming into the Division . In Braunton, too, the value of the Cadet Division ha hown itself by the t.ransfer of members to the senior Divi ion, and wherever this occurs, these trained newcomers prove of the greatest value to beginners in First Aid as well a ' filling the gaps due to Brigade members leaving the district. I am proud to report that the Cadet movement in Xorth Devon is going ahead and proving of immense value to the Brigade. A iy Raid PYecalitions.-In this Area 164 members hold certificate, including 15 Grade 1 Certificates, and members have been co-operating \\·It.h publIc bodies and other organizations in helping to train their personnel. It has been a very busy year for all holders of Grade 1 and 2 Certificates, especially at the time of the eptember crisis, and during the following month, their services beIng 10 great demand throughout 'orth Devon. It is a great pit.y that greater co-operatIOn between the County Council representatives and our trained per onnel is not permitted so that a comprehensive scheme for the rea could be laid down and \\"orked for the benefit of the communit.y in the event of national catastrophe. For our part, this co-operation has been offered, and is still being offered, but ha met with bttle re pon'e up to the present. A rea Staff.-I must thank my Staff for their help and upport during lhe year. The extra burden laid upon us by the neces ity for inlen 'ive A .R.P. training has been largely borne by the staff, who have willingly given up a very great d al of time to this important work. Especially do I thank County Officer Latimer for his devotion to the"e extra duties; in spite of ill-health he has been a tower of strength, and throughout the year he has travelled many miles, gi\'ing A.I{.P. lectures, examining cla "ses, and visiting Divisions in order to advise and assist them . Dr. Saunders, my County Surgeon, has also had an exlrem ly busy year \"lSitlOg Divisions and giving A.R.P. lectures, in addition to hiS usual County Surgeon's duties. I am sorry to report that County Officer Pepperill retired during the year, and I thank him, not only for the very good work he has done in the past for our organization, but also for volunteering his services in any capacity while in retIrement, an offer I shall certainly accept. ly best thanks are due to all Officers and other ranks under my command for their loyal co-operation and enthusiastic work throughout the year; to the local authoritie for the continued help and interest, and to Associations for the loyal support they continue to give to Divisions at all times.

E. '''ood and ::'Iiss D. vVhitehead has given these Officers scope of which they have taken full advantage. I cannot speak too highly of their enthu iasm and keenness. Lady 'orps Officer ::'Irs. Harris and Xursing Officer l\Iiss Guppy have been promoted to the po ition of Lady Corps Superintendent and Lady Corps Officer respectively. \\'e had a County Inspec tion at Exeter on 2-Hh July, when we had the honour of beIng 10 pected by the Chief om missioner and the Lady uperintendent-in-Chief. All the Division sho\'v'ed their appreciation of this important event by turning out in full streno-th. The ounty ompetitions for the" Perrott" Shield took place at Barnstaple on 19th ::.rarch , when Barnstaple Xursing Division was placed first and Paignton Xur ·jng DJ\'lsion ~econd. The Individual Cup also went to Barnstaple. The Di "trict ompetitions were held at Falmouth on 23rd April, when Barnstaple came second and Paignton third. The" Gray" up ompetition for Tovice teams was held at Kingsbridge on 26th Xovember, when Torquay Nursing Division was placed first and Exeter Kur~jng Division second.

Dunng the year 1,660 ca es were treated, 79 Hospital and Clinic attendances were made, and 717 Ambulance duties carried out. These services made a heavy call on the members of the ~ur ing Divi ions, but when the crisis came in September last the Bngade responded nobly to the additional responsibilities thrown upon it. All over the County our trained personnel undertook the instruction of the general public in Air Haid I recautions and First Aid, while at the same time carrying out their regular duties. Lady Divisional upcrintendent Mrs. Knott, of Barnstaple, attended the Military Anti-Ga Course at \Vinterbourne Gunner, and was successful in obtaining her Grade 1 erti.ficate. She has since obtained her L.A.G.C. Out of the total personnel of 262, 134 belong to Voluntary Aid Detachments, 5 being i\Iobile and 129 Immobile. The former belong to our smallest Divisions, and I shou ld like to congratulate them. I wish to thank all my Ofncers and Brigade members for their loyal support and untiring work throughout the year.

COUNTY OF DORSET. 22, ABBOTSBURY ROAD, WEYMOUTH. 29th April, 1939. THE CHIEF Co IMISSIONER, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my Annua JReport for the year ending 31st December, 1938 : There are in the County : 8 Ambulance Divisions. 5 Nursing Divisions. 6 Cadet Divisions (3 Girls, 3 Boys). The personnel being262 l\len 116 Women 126 Cadets (-i Boys, 73 Girls) giving a total of 50-i, an increase of over 100 on last year. Cadet Divisions are now 1 more than last year, and there i every reason to expect further progress in numbers and Divisions in the future; bot.h girls and boys are taking a very keen interest in the work and proving themselves very efficient., and the girls have done well in their examinations in various subjects for t.heir Certificates . The Annual Inspection took place in the Playing Ground of \\'eymouth ollege, kindly lent by the Headmaster; and the Territorial Drill Hall was placed at t.he disposal of the Brigade for tea by the courtesy of Lieut.-Col. Symes, the ommanding Officer. To both of these gentlemen, I should like to tender my mo t sincere thanks. The Inspection of the Men was carried out by myself, and the \Yomen by Mrs. Falwasser, Lady Superintendent of TO. III District, who repre ented the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief; and satisfaction was expressed with the state of the Parade. lajor Colin Forbes, County Officer, was in charge of the Parade. I am ...-ery grateful for work he has done, and his efficient conduct of competitions, and sincere thanks are tendered to him and my other County Officers. A march through the town took place, accompanied by Captain Richard s ' Band, and sincere thanks are tendered to him and his musicians for their unfailing WIllingness to help at Brigade functions . Cases attended and R emovals.Cases attended 3,703 Cases removed 05 Mileage ,693 These figures show an increase of work as compared with last year. Shaftesbury and Dorchester both have their own Ambulances which are affiliated under the joint Councils, in other centres Ambulances are owned by the 1I1unicipal authorities, the transport being chiefly carried out by members of the Brigade. Satisfactory work has been carried out with A.R.P. and there is a sufficiency of Grade 1 and Grade 2 Instructors to meet all needs, and thanks are due to County Officer Cox, Divisional Superintendent O'Hara and Dr. Laura Maule Horne and others for time given to Lectures and Examinations. The Weymouth ursing Division were successful in winning the Perrott Shield and other trophies in the Brigade Final, and this is the third successive year they have qualified for the Finals; and I take this opportunity of specially thanking Dr. Cooper, the Weymouth Divisional Surgeon, for his great and efficient work as an Instructor. I cannot conclude this Report without a reference to Councillor Bert Biles, for his untiring energy in collecting Funds for the new \Veymouth Headquarters, and to Mr. Fanner, the Weymouth Divisional Superintendent, for efficiency and help. The building is nearing completion and will be officially opened in the near future. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. H.

This shows a slight increase on t.he pre, ious year, and I am pleased to be able to report the possibility of the format.ion of 'everal n w DI\'lswns "ery shortl '. Divisional Illspectiolls.-I have inspected personally all ])1\ ISIOIlS, and am sali ... fiL'd with their efficiency and keenness. Church PaJ'ade.-The first Count.y hurch Parade was held on t.he lst :'ITa y, 19:~8, when the Inspecting Officer was \V. C. Benlall, Esq., O.B.E , .\sslslan L Surgeon 111 Chief. Seventy-five per cent of t.he County strength were un pamde, alld ()\ er :2()() members from adjacent counties. Dr. Clouclesley :miLh, Commissioncr for Suffolk, and Lieut.-Col. J. L. Hamilton, ilI.C., T.D., iI!.D., ommissioner for Essex, came ()\'er too, and their presence was mo t welcome. County Officer Ingall, of Bed ford, rendereel me very great service on parade, of which I was most. appreciati\'c The inspecli<ln was follo,Yed by tea, and then a service in Ely Catheelral, by the kind permission of the Dean and Chapter, which was greatly appreciat.ed by those aLtending, and [ wou~d like. to place on record my t.hanks for this privilege. The supporL ()f I )i\'isi() ll~ outslde thls County from places as far apart as llitchm, lacton, and orwidl and others was of tremendous help in increa~lng the int.erest. in the Bngadc and Its work . :r .rany prominent people in the Count.y, includll1g the ::'I1ayor of Cambridge, werc also present. A .R.P.-Training in this branch of our work continucs t.o occupy all Di"isio/1s , and I am pleased to ~e able to record the fact that in many insLanc s, til Brigade has been of great aSSIstance to the local authorilles. There arc aL present in t.he County: 2 C.A.G.S. Instructors, 1 L.A.G.C ., 6 Grade 1 Instructor and 6 Gradc ~ Instructors. The e Instructors could be used more often if all local aUlhonties \\ ' to a?preciat~ the fact that Grade 1 Inst.ruct.ors arc recognized by thc Home Oftice to gIve certalll courses, such as thc Yoluntary Aiel Course t.o t.he general public. Septembe1' Cn·sis.-This put a great strain on the County, but the respon c wa,; most encouragmg and all calls made upon units were rcsponded to willingly and immediatel y. T1'ansport Duties carried out by two Divisions of the County, show an increase over la.st year, the number of cases moved being 297 anel the mileage amounting to 22,700 mIles. Dewar Cup.-The County was represented by the l\Iarch ;\.mbulance Division in ~he Dewar Cup Comp~ti~ion, and although they did not receive any of the awards, It was extremely grahfymg that the County was rcpresented. I have the satisfaction of being able to record a very great increase in the int.erest taken in the Bri.gade and its work in Uw ounty, .with a corresponding increa e in the amount of pubhc support. ThIS IS veTy encouraglllg to member. of the Brigade in the County. I have to thank a~l officers and ranks of the Brigade in this County for their loyalty and co-operatlOn, but would remark that a little smart.er attent.ion t.o routine correspondence, etc., would be helpful. My report would not be complete without some mention of the mao-nificent work which has been carried out during the last twelve months by Divisional S~lperint.endent. A"

Publi C Dutzes.- There has been a considerable increase in the number of First .\'iel duties undcrt.aken at ports meetings and on various public occasions.

THE CHIEF CO~IMISSIONER, ST. JOHN A 1BULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my second annual report. since the Count\' of _ orfolk became a separate administrat.ive unit. of the Brigade. . The crisis of last September bas had the effect. of calling tl1 attentIOn of th public of Torfolk t.o the import.ance of mbulance work and an innca. eel number of volunteers are attending lect ures in all Di\'isional Di. tricb. Members continue to be in demand for publIc dut.ies. On the occasion of the visit of their 1ajesties the King and Queen t.o i\orwich 111 Oct.obcr, 161 Olhcers and men reported for duty in t.he st.reets. Half-yearly Count.y conferences for Officers have been held at ~henngham and Swaffham. Ambulance vehicles continue to render valuable sen'ice In conjunction WIth local hospitals. The strength of the Brigade in T orfolk is the hIghest on record, comprizcd of 29 units. A new Division has been formed at Diss, one is in process of formation at Reepham, also a Jursing Division at Sennowe Park. All Divisions in both city and Count.y, continue to w ork in harmony \\ ith rcpr _ sentatives of the British Red Cross Scciet.y. Th~ first Cathedral Service for the Brigade eyer held in i\orIolk will take place at N oTWlch on Sunday, 11 th June, followed by t.he annual inspect.ion.

There has been a steady increase t.o recorel, and the year has been one of exceptional activit.y in all dcpart.ments. COIllP{'fifiolls.-The following compet.it.ions were hcld : Suffolk Eliminating Competition. ~·o. 10 District Competition. The winners of t.he _·0. 10 District Compet.ition (:'larch ':'lens' and 1st Air Duties Xursc!'> Di\'islllOS) attended the Bngade Finals in London, and were successful in obtainlDg 10th and 4t.h places respcct.ively. Thc standard of work at thcse ompetit.ions was wcll up to the mark, in fact, it 'was said that nc\ er has more effiLiency been exhibited at these Competitions. The activ1ty and resources of thc Brigade were severely tested in September last , and it. is as well to say that. all ranks rose to the occa ion. I ha\ c pi aSllrc in reporting on the formation of the Silver Band in the Ipswich Corps Thc band consists of 26 instrument.alists, many of whom are musicians of rcpute. Their playing has bcen pleasing, and has given satisfaction on all occasions. Threc COlH;erts haye alrcady been rcndcrcd, and rout.e marches and Church Parades aU nded . In the fl)rmation of t.he Band a big financial responsibility was incurred, and a Band Formation Committee was formed. The . il\'cr instruments have cost £175, and individual subscriptions amounted to ~ 125 Thc Ip\\'Jch Corps It elf is bC1l1g held responsible for uniforms, and the Band for mu:-.ic. The Sl!\'cr Band has bccn combined with the old Bugle Band to form a Band Division, antI these bands have functioncd t.ogether on various occasion. Therc is no eloubt that t.he existence of such a Band in the Brigade, stimulates the enthusiasm of the members. In Ipswich it has been founel t.hat lack of space has severely handicapped the work of the .\ ssociat.ion and Brigade. In t.hc early part of 1939, an appeal will be launched by t.he :'Iayor of Ip wich for funds to cnable alterations or ext.en ions to be made. Thc matter 1S an urgcnt. one, and must be faced immediately. 'Ve are in the hands of t.hc public, as upon their response will depend our future acti,·ities. The _\nnu al inspection of t.he Ipswich Corps and the First Aid Duties Division was held by olonel Eills on Christchurch Park on the 17th of eptember, 1938. The followlDg is a brief account of t.his Inspection, the success of which was, no doubt, 1l1flucnced by thc prcsence of t.he Silvcr Band. Colonel . i\1. Ellis, c';'I!.G., A.~I.S., attended t.he review, t.he parade being under the command of Lieut.-Col. i-Ialcolm 1\IcEwan, D.F.C., T.D., and there was a march from thc .\mbulance Hall t.o t.he Park, led by the Brigade's new Silver Band, which, under Bandmaster Lidford, made a first. appearance. At t.hc I ark, :'Iajor A. Cloudesley mith (Commissioner for Suffolk), received Colonel Ellis, also t.he ':'layor of Ipswich (1\Ir. George ndenvood), and the l\Iayoress (':'lrs. enderwood), and Dr. Hunt.er (Medical Officer of Health). In reviewing the unit.s, Colonel Elli asked questions of individual members on matters of First Aid, and t.hcn prcsented Long en'ice :i \Iedals, Bars, and \Varrants, to various Officers and member, aftcrwards taking the salute from the base. Eight Units present included 3 Companies of Men, 3 of Nurses, 1 of boy Cadets, and 1 of girl Cadet.s. "I should like to congrat.ulat.e you," said Colonel Ellis, "on your general appearance, uniforllls, equipment, and steadiness on parade." Air Raid Precauiions.-A complet.e reorganization of A.R.P. was necessary. An A.R.P. Staff Officer (Dr. Philpott) wa appointed at the beginning of the year, and due to the considerable work im'olved, an Assistant was appointed (Corps Officer W. C. Mayhew).

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIO ER. 66, GREAT STRAND STREET, DUBLIN. 6th March, 1939. THE CHIEF OMMISSIONER, THE ST. JOlIN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report for the year 1938. The strength of the Brigade in Southern Ireland is as follows : ] 3 Ambulance Divisions 587 11 ~ursing Divisions 269 24 I

adet Ambulance Division adet Nursing Division

37 39

26 Grand Total 932 Thi!) total includes the following new registered Divisions : 1Iammond Lane Foundry l\mbulance Division. Dublm Port ;\l111ing Ambulance Division. The demands upon the Bngade's services during the past year surpassed that of prcvious ycar , and it IS \\"ith pleasure I am able to state that these were adequately fulfilled The Brigade supplie the personnel for the Invalid Transport Service of the J oi n t om m i liee of the Ord er of t. John and British Red Cross Society . Female patl nis are aLcompanied by ,\mbulance Sisters, who, when not in attendance give a slstance by sewing for the tores and \Velfare Departments. Thc work of the \\'elfare Department still continues to flourish under the superVlS10n of Lady DblnLt nicer :'Iiss G . :\1. Barrington and her Committee. Thanks to the wholehearted efforts of this group of workers, together with a substantial grant and co-opcration of the Public lIealth Department, the wonderful output of this Dcpartmcnt ha:; Jl1creased for the pa t year. During the year 73,617 dinners were sen'ed at the cost of { 1.963 17s . 9d., and 52,681 pints of soup were taken home. In the DJl1ll1 .~ Hoom ' for four month before and hvo months after confinement, u p\' ard of 300 womcn received a daily dinner free, food parcels at the time of confincmen t, chemises for her elf and a bundle of baby clothes. ThiS \\'elfare 'work has received recognition, time and again from the Lord Mayor and ;\luni clpal :'ledical Officer of Health. The distnbution of new and secondhand garment from the Central \ Vorkroom is still under the capable control of J.\Ir . J. 'V. Heney. 4,518 garments were distributed to the "cry poor through recognized channels. This work is worthy of the highest appreciatIOn . The tore Department dealt with 151 requisition!) for Medical to res on behalf of Ambulance Di\'i Ion', ~ur ing Division, and the Huts. The value of Stores issued free was {-19 lIs. I d. A Jumble ale was organized for the benefit of Invalid Requisites and tores Departments by Ambulance ister Mrs. C. Campbell, which realized the sum of £16 9s . Id . The Dublin Depot loaned out 732 Invalid Requisites during the year, and the Bray Dcpot under the supervision of Lady uperintendent l\Iiss L. chroeder greatly helped to supply thc public's need in that district. Brigade l\lcmbers were on duty at the pring how and Horse Show of the Royal Dublin ocicty. At the First. Aid Hut in O'Connell treet, 827 cases were treated by the day Orderly and 6-+2 by the night Orderlies. In the Hut at Phoenix Park Football Grounds, and the seaside Huts at i\Ierrion, Killiney, and Bray, considerable services were rendered to the public during the respecti ve seasons. ontingents of Officers, Ambulance l\Ien, and isters were on duty at the Irish Motor Racing Grand Prix, Dublin" 100 " and various Pilgrimages to Lourdes. The Annual Competitions for Nursing Divisions were held in the Brigade Hall, on Saturday 9th April. Lady District Ofiicer 1iss Overend was in charge. The results were as follows : Irish TVomen's Challenge Cllp.- Harcourt ' ur ing Division. Novices' Challenge Cup.~City of Dublin ' ursing Divi ion.

The Overend Cup for Invalid Transport was won by ity of Dublin ,\mbulance Division. The Annual Review wa held in Lord Iveagh's Gardens on aturda)" 18th June, when Major T. J. 1\IcKinney, the head of the Army ~Iedical ervice, mspected the Parade, which com prized 5-11 of all ranks. I had the honour to present on behalf of the Grand Prior of the reIer, Insignia of Serving Brother to Superintendent J. . Smurthwaite and en ice :'Iedals. \Ye demonstrated to the public by means of a bogus air attack, hO\ a family occupymg a gas-proof room could be made immune from danger. Through the Irish entre of the St. John Ambulance Association, 322 adult and preliminary First Aid Certificates were gained and 1 1 adult and prclimmary Home Nursing Certificates. A responsible factor in this increase was the cri·j in, eptember, which acted as an incentive to the public to make a study of thesc subjects. A ir Raid Precautions. Early in the year Major ean 0' ullivan of thc Army, ga\'c a Refresher Course of Lectures in the Brigade Hall, and one day at the urragh to our Grade I and Grade 2 Instructors. It is gratifyin a to report that. there ar now 68 Grade 1 and 39 Grade 2 Cerhficate holders. Over 50 per cent of the personnel hold A.R.P. Certificates. In truction i proceeding continuously, and I have no doubt that before long all the members of my District will havc qualified 111 .\ 1 .P. .\n A.R.P. Auxiliary Reserve is to be registered shortly. A Course of lectures in .:'Ililitary Sanitation was delivered by aptain J. Bre n, A.M.S., to Brigade members holding A.R.P. Certificate There was a good attendance throughout the course, and out of the 9-1 who sat for eXam1l1atlOn, '0 gained Certiiica tes. I acknowledge with gratitude the invaluable help and co-operation given us by t.he Department of Defence, and the Army over a number of years. In December, a Red Cross Bill was passed by the Dail, providing for the setting up of a Kational Red Cross Society for Eire. \Ye do not yet know how far thiS may afT ct us, but believe and venture to hope, we may be consulted before anything i done which would affect our work. The Annual Appeal realized a total of £1,306 Is. lld. This shows an increa e of £129, over the previous year, and is due largely to the organiz1l1g skIll of :'Ie rs. J. P. 1\1acKamara, Reginald H. Keatinge, O.B.E., J. L. Keogh, and :\1iss G. ;\1. Barrington. Lady District Superintendent 1\1iss E. F. Blandford and members of Nursing Divisions attended the Camp at Rossall in August. In my last report, reference was made to 0ur Unit in Cork, and my hopes that its strength would increase have been fulfilled. So promising are the prospects of expansion in the south of Ireland, that I have had Superintendent A. L. Downes promoted to my District Staff. The work of the Cork Divisions ha been excellent, possessing as they do, enthusiastic and efficient Officers, with keen men and women. This report would not be complete if I omitted to mention the kind and gratifying tribute paid to me by past and present members of the Brigade, in the unveiling of a portrait of myself, which now hangs in our Brigade Hall. This gesture of gooel-will has touched me very deeply. Finally, I must pay tribute to my hard-working and loyal staff, whose splendid ser vices, self-sacrifice, and good work, have been worthy of the best traditions of the Brigade. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN LUMSDEN, Knight of Justice of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, Commissioner Irish District.

It is with very deep regret that I have to record the death of :Uiss Beatnx \Yh it.aker, whose services to the St. John Ambulance Brigade were invaluable, and her 10' t o both the Association and the Brigade will be very eriously felt. ~Il ~S \\'hllaker's efforts in the formation of classes were untiring, and a great deal of the s uccess of the Brigade in Northern Ireland is due to her unceasing energy and tirele ' devotIOn. The Annual St. ] ohn Ambulance Competitions were held in Belfas t on t.he 21 s t :'Iay, 1938, 38 teams competing. \ 'iscount Craigavon, The Prime l\linister of :.'-Jorthern Ireland, presented the awards as follows : Senior M en (Belfast Challenge CuP) . -1, Broadstone G . .

A considerable number of classes of instruction in A.RP. were held. 33 Grade 1, 66 Grade 2, and 2,100 rank and file Certificates were iss ued. Both Dr. R. W. 1. Strain (my District Surgeon) and myself and many of my Divisional Superintendents spent much time touring the District for lectures upon Air Raid Precautions; but I am happy to report that our ordinary S.] .A .B. work has in no way suffered in consequence, and for this I have to thank the splendid loyalty and support of all ranks of the Brigade in my District. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, IAN FRASER, Commissioner. St. ] ohn Ambulance Brigade, Northern Ireland Dist.rict

The September crisis revealed a lamentably inadequate a ualty Service in the country's Air Raid Precautions, in con equence of which, training in First Aid was accelerated to an extent that heavily taxed the capacity of the Association Department. The results of the numerous classes initiated in Government Departments, under Local Authoritie and among private individuals, in connection with the sub equent A.R.P. drive, will have a more marked effect upon the figures for the year 1939, but the number of Classes examined durinO' 193 [0 e by 48 to 1,027; and the following comparative tables show an increase of 1,5 5 in the number of students who attended courses and 1,031 more award gained than in 1937 : -

Th~ e possI~ilibes materialized, however, ju t after the \Var Office mstrucbon was Issued u pending further enrolment of Immobile Nursing l\Iembers.

The total number of ca es of accident and ickne treated by Brigade members according to returns rendered to Priory Hou e, which in,"ariabl fall short of the actual figure wa 56,93-1, of whom 4,:- 1 were remo," d to home or hospital, v,hile 1,816 repre ent road accident. Eight Roadside First Aid Huts and 85 Fir t Aid Po t are maintained by Bri aade Units. On the Nursing ide, the demand for the attendance of nUL ing members for voluntary a si tance at home and in titution . incrca ' e , 582 such duties being recorded la t year. It happen not infrequently that this hospital ervice has been the mean of cau ing members to make professional nursing their career. One ur ing Divi ion, for in tanc , at Llanelly, ha supplied no fewer than 34 member to th profeion. Ambulance duties were carried out on a large cale jointly b r t. John and B.R.C.S. member in Cardiff in connection with th H.oyal ....\U"ricultural how and the Royal National Ei teddfod. J

BRIGADE CAMPS.

The annual holiday and instructional camp inaugurated in 193G with grant aid from King George's Jubilee Tru t ha become a ource of considerable attraction to the Cadets; and it i earne tly hop d that fund. will be afforded to enable camping facilities to be continued. A in former years, the Priory was granted the free u e of the Hutment. at Nells Point, Barry I land, by the Glamorgan Territorial rmy and Air Force Association; and following the week commencing 30th July, when the accommodation was occupied by V.A.D. and ~ ur ing member under the capable leadership of Lady County uperintendent Mr. . B. Turner and Lady County Officer Mi s E. Gravenor as ommandant and Assistant Commandant respectively, about 100 Girl adet and 20 Boy Cadets enjoyed a camping holiday by the sea in three uccessive weeks, when Corps Secretary L. Powell and Corps Inspector of tores J. J. Hughes discharged the onerous duties of Commandant and A i tant respectively in a most satisfactory manner. BRIGADE INSPE CTIONS.

With the exception of 22 Units, arrangements were made for the inspection of every Division during the year. I am much indebted to the Assistant Commissioner for Wales, Mr. A. G. E. J. Fudge, for the readiness with which he has devoted many Saturday afternoons to this work; and to Lady Lewis, O . B.E., Assistant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for Wales, for undertaking the inspection of the Nursing contingents on numerous occasions. The value of the 1938 inspections from a spectacular point of view

The medical a pect of Brigade \Vork is re~eivin.g due coTnsideration ; and the onference over which the urgeon-m-Chief for \\ ales, Dr. D. Rocyn Jone, .B.E., J.P., pre ided on the 18th eptember was attended by a repre entative gathering?f urgeons. from all parts .of \Vales, who di 'cu ed ,"ariou points affectmg the effiCIency of the Bngade member. COMPETITIOXS.

The mo t important feature of th.e year in t~i~ connection "vas the inauguration of the \Yel h Brigade Fmal CompetitIOn for Ca.det Teams, helel on the 2Gth February. The contents were arranged m ~w~ age group, the junior ection (12 to 16 year ) bei~g judged on the Prehmmary Textbooks, and enior (lG - l) on the offiCIal Handboo~ , each Centre of th Priory bing in,"ited to enter one team in each sectIOn. ~hree new cup pre ented [or the e event ?~ought the number of trop~les vested in the Priory f r annual competitIOn to 140, valued at .and msured for {2,63(5 '7 .

In the \Y l 'h Brigade Final ompetition for s~ni~r teams, the " Llandinam" hi ld wa won by the Clydach and DI tnct ~mbul<:nce team, and the" Arthur Griffith Memorial" up by the BUllth \\ ells ~ur ing t am , both of Brecknock hire. Th "Harr ' \ \ Tebb " Cup, competed for by three selected teams from each of the Railwa ompanie operating in. \Yales~ was won by the Brynmawf t am, London, -:\1idland, a~d coth h ~aIl:vay Co. The I rior wa~' ntru ted a u ual WIth the orgamzatlOn of the Ambulance ompetition which figure prominently in the programme of the Royal Xational Ei . teddfod of \Yale. . , .. An innovation which attracted con Iderable mtere t was a competitIOn open to ambulance team in po e ion of A.R.P. certificates, in which ardiff i ty Divi ional team wa . ~cce. fu.l. .._ Th \Yel h ational CompehtIOn 111 tItuted by the Pnory m 1~3 ::> for employees of Road Tran port Undertaking was held under outsIde au pice in view of a departure from the rule ."vhere~y all ~eam ~ember are required to be in pos e ion of re~og~l1zed F:r t AId certificates. There are difficultie in the way of arrangmg 111 truchon for teams of road tran port worker ; but a further attempt i being made with the upport of the principal Undertaking to induce the men to put themselve in po se ion of First Aid knowledge. AMBULANCE HALLS.

In my la t year's report I wa able to announce. a. grant of £5,0~0 ( ubsequently increased to £5,300) from the Commis lOner for . p~cIal Areas Fund toward the erection of Ambulance Halls ; and It I of

interest to record that at the end of 1938 61 Brigade lJnits are in po e sion of their own headquarters, 26 Divisions having benefited by grants not exceeding 50 per cent of the co t of the cherne up to a limit of £275 plus 50 per cent of architects' and solicitors' fees. In order to enable nits to take advantage of the opportunity of grant-aid within the time limit impo ed, advance at a nominal 1 per cent were made from Priory funds for repayment within varying periods of years . At the 31 t December a urn of nearly £2,000 i due to be repaid on Ambulance Hall loans, but without exception Divi ions are honouring their obligations and in many cases making repayments in advance of agreed dates. IEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS. \Vith the opening of 3-1 new Depot during the year, there are v.orking under the Priory, by mean of which a total numb r of 9,-i39 article were i ued, an increa e of 1, 23 on 1937. Thi welcome expan ion of a valued ervice has been rendered pos ible by the Grant from the Special Areas Fund successfully negotiated by the ollth \Yale and Monmouthshire Council of ocial rvice through it Health , n'ice Committee and particularly the honorary service of 1\1r. J arne \Yalton, who interviewed Officers-in-Charge and Depot Committee in the variou localities, exerci ing infinite tact in arranging for the adoption of th conditions of the grant. Great credit is due to the Brigad per:onnel for the readine with which they have undertaken the on rou duti ' involved in the maintenance of Depot, compri ing attendance at definit hours daily for the issue of article, re pon ibility for the return of equipment, the carrying out of proper clean ing and di infection; and the keeping of accounts and record. MOTOR AMBULA CE TRANSPORT ER\'ICE. This Department has undertaken the removal of 140,7 3 ca e in\-oh-ing a total mileage of 2,275,929 during the 20 year' ervice completed in 1938, the number of cases carried and miles tra\'elled in the pa t year being 18,761 and 312,994 respectively, an increa e of 520 ca e and 10,731 miles on the figures for 1937. The number of ambulances was increased last year to 21 by the opening of a new Station at Clydach-on-Tawe in Augu t for a trial period of 12 months; and the encouraging measure of support from companies and employees in the locality augurs well for the permanence of the tation. Towards the end of the year the Priory acquired an ambulance ervice formerly operated in the Glanamman district for a number of ear by a local proprietor, all the subscribers having transferred their support to the Priory scheme. Two new ambulances were added to the fleet, while general improvements in connection with construction and equipment carried out on cars already in commission added to the reputedly high standard of efficiency. A further grant of £1,000 made towards capital expenditure by the Central Committee of the Miners' Welfare Fund on the recommendation of the Joint Committee for Monmouthshire and South Wales is gratefully recorded.

The tations are rendering a co-ordinated day and night service and high tributes of praise are frequently received in respect of the comfort of the cars and the friendly efficiency of the whole-time drivers qualified in Fir t id who man them. \VELSH HOME SERVICE AMBULA 'CE COMMITTEE. In contra t to the Service provided by the Priory, the fourteen ambulances working under the H .. A. Committee for Wales, equally representative of the Order of St. John and British Red Cross Society, are run on a voluntary basis, which has proved quite satisfactory in many agricultural areas. The cars are controlled by local Units of one or other Ambulance Organization; and those stationed at Abergavenny, bery twyth, Drecon, Builth, Conway, Holyhead, Wrexham, and Usk are in charge of t. John Divi ion, to whom all credit is due for the work involved in the removal of 2,567 cases, covering 36,614 miles during 193 . STORES DEPARTMENT. The is ue of the 39th edition of First Aid to the Injured, and the nlsh for ambulance instruction stimulated by the eptember crisis, contributed to a record year in the sale of First Aid textbooks, which rose from a total of 4,02·1 in 1937 to 10,55 6 in 1938, while 4,740 A.R.P. handbooks were sold. Extended pa ment term are now allowed to Brigade nits on orders for uniform; and although a sum fluctuating around £300 is outstanding, there i no rea on to anticipate that the repayments will not be continued wi th cu tomary diligence. A stand at the Grey Friars Hall, Cardiff, allotted to the Priory by the Promoters of the outh \Yales Engineering Exhibition, attracted a number of new customers for first aid outfits and dressings, the sale of which increa es annually. APPOINTMENTS. I am pleased to record the appointment of Mr. Rhys Llewellyn, The Court, t. Fagans, as Trustee in place of the late ~1r. Charles Keen; and Ir. Daniel Daniel, Commis ioner for Pembrokeshire, was appointed to ucceed the late Sir Henry Philipps, Bart., as Commander of Slebech. ANNUAL MEETI rGS. A message of encouragement from the Prior, H.R.H. The Duke of Kent, wa read at meetings of Chapter and General Assembly held in the National ~Iu eum of \Vales, Cardiff, on the 4th July, when members of the Priory had the privilege of welcoming the Ho pitaller of the Order, Colonel J. T. \I\TooIrych Perowne, V.D., T.D., who gave an interesting account of the work of the Order's Hospital in Jerusalem. At the cIo e of the meetings, members attended the dedication and unveiling of an altar screen to the honoured memory of Mr. Hugh Murray Ingledew, first Honorary Solicitor to the Priory, at St. John's Church, Cardiff.
