E TGLAND

An important feature dUllng the ear was the introduction of mouthto·mouth and external cardiac method of re uscitation. T\\ 0 supple~ents dealing with the subject were published in collaboration with The t. ~d~ew's Ambulance Association and The British Red Cross Society. T~a1Il1l1g in these methods was pressed throughout the year 0 that me~lc~l and other instructors would be able to teach them preparatory to theIr lIlclusion from 1st January, 1963, in First Aid examination . To

4 supplement this in truction training aids we~e us.ed; .they in~l~ded fiUllS, film-strips sectional models and the Norwegian life-sIze mal11k1l1. The e I{ew types of emergency resuscitation haye been well received. The opinion of the Association that external cardiac massa?~ should be practiced by First Aiders was amply supported by the Bntlsh Medical Journal which categorically stated:'-Nor is there any real reason why the same laymen who are taught mouth-to-mouth artificial re piration should not aJ 0 be in tructed in the performance of external cardiac massage." Various authorities and organisations have sought permi sion to repro· duce material from these training pamphlets for their own instructional leaflets or handbooks, as for exampl , in the Home Office Manual of Firemanship and the Ministry of Transport s Ship Captain' Medical Guide. Discussions with the Home Office and the Ministry of H ealth on First Aid resulted in the adoption of the Joint Fir t Aid Manual in place of the Civil Defence First Aid Handbook with a Supplement ( o. 3). The material for this Supplement wa pro ided by the Mini try of Health and it contains a foreword by Mr. D. Renton, T.D., Q.C. M.P., Minister of State for Home Affairs. First Aid Courses to meet Civil Defence requirements now follow the general pattern of the St. John Course and in response to an increasing demand from local authorities succe sful candidates now receive small certificates and plastic wallets as for our standard examinations. "A First Aider in Every Home" was the aim of the Joint ational First Aid Week organised by the St. John Ambulance A ociation, the British Red Cross Society and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. In many places great efforts were made to produce comprehensive programmes which included open-air demon trations of First Aid and Resuscitation, shop window displays, film shows and tra elling exhibitions. The help given by outside organisations wa most encouraging; many made a feature of the Week in their house journals. Through?ut the country the press gave wide pUblicity to the necessity of furtherIng First Aid. It was generally agreed that the Week was worthwhile and served as a useful basis for planning similar events. Sir Harry Sinderson's idea of a "First Aid in the Home" Wall Card was adopted. The card was designed to give basic information for the use ~f the untrained housewife in how to deal correctly with injuries and accIdents. The demand has been most stimulating, its use having gone beyond the home, for example, Chief Constables have arranged for the card to be exhibited in their police stations. Medical Officers of Health and Local Education Authorities are also using it in their clinics and schools. Last December a letter was addressed to large industrial concerns suggesting that, as a means of prevention of accidents and of providing First Aid information should an accident occur, a copy of the card might be given to each employee. The response has been most encouraging; over 70,000 cards were sent out. In raising standards interesting developments have occurred in t1~e competition field. The City of London Centre established a First AId Competition for teams representing the city's organisations and busine~s houses of the City. This was held at Guildhall on 2nd February, 1962, III the presence of the Lady Mayoress. Teams from the City Police, the Post

5 Office and c?I?-m~rcial concerns. competed. This val uable incentive to frst Aid trallung IS much appreclated. lOn 3rd February the final of the Lancashire I~dividual First A,.-id Competitions were held in Manchester. These provIde a patter~ whIch uld with advantage be followed in other countIes. Stre.ss was laid uI?on ~~e individual's ability to diagn.ose a1?-d treat both. ~edl~al and surgIcal cidents and the practice of FIr t Ald. In the elJmmatmg rounds, 250 ~~mpetitors took part, of th~se 24 reache~ t,he finals. The winner of the competition was presented WJth the As~ocIatI.on Troph~. . . Croydon introdl:lced a new. open FHst A.ld. competltl<?n .wIth further attractions for natIOnal Hr t-alders. ~he 01l1l~try of AVIatIOn arranged for a special trophy for Remote Stat.](?ns to mclud~ the Shetlands and Outer Hebrides. At the first competltIOn 20 establIshments took part. The winner was Stornoway aerodrome. .. The As ociation set up a working party to study how best competltIOns could be improved. Tho e taking part included representatiye from all departments and organi ations . nding tea~s ~o the Grand Pno(s Trophy Competition. The tudy contmues and It IS hoped t? publish a n.ew edition of the Competition Manual in ] 963 , embodYIng the workmg party's recommendation. . . . . . The Mini ter of Health mltlated an exammatIOn of the part taken by voluntary bodie in the health and welfare ervice. Two meetin~s, one in February and the other in June, were attended by. representatl"yes of local authorities, hospital ervice and voluntary orgalllsatIOns and IS ued a memorandum to ho pital and local authoritie~, the object being to ensure the fullest pos ible co-operation between the various bodie. An important recommendation i to form local committees of ~ho e concerned to discuss the need of the local health and welfare servIces dependent on voluntary effort. Some As ociation Centres have already taken part in local discussions and we hope that as many as possible will cooperate in this important acti ity. An encouraging development during the year is t~e increasing int~re t taken in First Aid by school and educational establ1shment of all kinds. A pilot scheme was organi ed in London and 19 secondary school ha,.d Preliminary First id COLlf e leading to examinations. The scheme WIll continue in 1963. The arne theme occurs in reports from many Centres and courses were held in Colleges of Further Education, Technical Colleges and Secondary Schools. The National College for the Training of Youth Leaders in l:eicest~r continues to give support to the Association and through its FIrst AId classes many Youth Leaders wjll be introduced to the subject. The Duke ?f Edinburgh's A ward Scheme with which the Association co-operate.s, mcludes First Aid in its programme and has given impetus to FIrst AId activities in schools. The Docks (Training in First Aid) Regulations issued in 1962 are likely to be followed by the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Bill which was introduced in the House of Commons in November 1962. One may as~ume, therefore, there will be regulations covering First Aid training in thIS field also, and no doubt additional courses will be required. R~ports from the Centre give a varied and pleasing picture of activity, p~rhc111arly on their work with youth organisations, including Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Youth Clubs, Police Cadet, etc. The training in emergency resuscitation has enabled Centres to arrange lectures and demonstrations

6 for many types of organisations: Women' Guilds, Church Grou · Women's Institute.s, P3:rents-Teachers' Associations, etc. A large numt has b~~n reached m this way and the excellent training model, "ResusC' Anne,. an~ fir t-cla~s ;5.lms have been of great assi tance.

The Croydon Centre has e tablished schem~ for co-operation with local industry through nominated repre. sentatIves of firms. They now have 68 of these. Lancashire .has been successful in maintaining their position wit regard to CertIficates and Awards, as compared with 1961. This may ~ due to the fact that only four of the towns in the county with a popUlation of over 50,000 are without a Centre. Further an approach wa made tl 14 Chambers of Co~merce regarding First Aid in Industry and six O! the~e have taken actIOJ?-. No new Rural ~epre entative were appointee durmg the year.

7 Instructor's Handbook. The text of this was made available to us by the British Red Cross Society. This book which is clear and well illustrated with sketches, will fill a long felt need. It will be of great assistance to those who are organising courses for First Aid instructors.

Following a conference of Scandinavian anae theti ts a copy of the latest film entitled, The Pul e of Life," dealing with emergency resuscitation was obtained. It i outstanding in it pre entation and appeal. In addition to the copies supplied by Mr. A. S. Laerdal, two additional copies were purcha ed. There ha been a big demand for the loan of these film arising from all part of the country. A all copies have been in con tant circulation , the film ha been seen by audiences running into thousands. Whilst the A ociation has had neither staff nor fund to undertake the distribution of films, the need for instruction in emergency resuscitation has made it very nece ary and increasing commitment. The Vi ual Aids ection at ssociation Headquarters has become widely known. Many reque ts are received from Government industrial, commercial and oversea bodie , as well a voluntary organi ations and our own units for advice on Vi ual id also for training equipment, publications and filmstrip . PUBLICATIO S On the recommendation of the Visual Aid committee, a Visual Aids Exhibition wa staged at the Queen Mary College London on the First Aid Manual. The collection of material for a new edition is in occasion of the ational Dock Labour Board ational Finals on 14th progress. It is unlikely that the new edition will be available before mid-1964.

Their co-operation and help are an inspiration to those concerned with the organisation of competitions. Finally, we thank the competitor who have worked so hard and whose enthusia m has made the competition an out tanding feature of our year's work. OVERSEAS

In Cyprus work continued with the Greek and Turki h Education Department. The Public Service, which included the Electricity Authority, Inaldn Telecommunications Fore try Department, Fire Brigade, Police and Gendarmerie have been most co-operative with the Centre, a have the Education Departments. Classes were conducted al 0 at the Cyprus Mines Corporation and the Chrome Mines. The War Department Police now include First Aid in their residential c?urses. The Army Fire Brigade held joint First Aid demonstrations and dl~~l~ys with the Cyprus Fire Service. The Royal Army Ordinance Corps C~vIhan Clerks also held a COlif e, as did a group of Royal Air Force WIves, followed by the u ual examination. Three residential Lay Lecturers Courses were held for the Police, Gendarmerie and Fire Brigade. . Requests for training were received from Government Departments, mdustdal concerns, secondary schools and scouts. As the doctors have sho~~ a keen interest and desire to co-operate it is hoped that these addItIOnal requests can be met. One thousand, four hundred and thirty~ur a",:ards were gained during 1962, a large proportion being in Adult IrSt Aid, showing an increase of 422 over 1961. Tra~slations of the Emergency Resuscitation Supplements were prep~red I~ Greek and Turkish and published in November. The Preliminary ~lrst AId Manual was translated into Greek and tIllS should be available III 1963. In Malta 24 Adult First Aid Courses were completed. The gift of a

.was much appreciated and this enabled the Centre to give practlcal trammg. This was the first time s~nce 1956 that. there has been no f ull-time St. John Headquar~er . Officer m Ghana and It says much fo r the efficiency of the loc~l orgarusatlO11 that the rate of progress has be n maintained. In the. ~ailwa~s and Harbo:ur~ there .has be~n a great revival in First Aid actlvIty. MISS S. A. N. KissIeh, Cluef Nursmg Officer Ministry of Health took up office 8:s ~ssociation Director .in Ghana in the second p art of th~ year and ~ Trmillng Officer was appomted at the beginning of the year. An extensIve programme has been planned fo r 1963, e p eci aUy in the fields of Home Nursing, H ygiene and Child Welfare and much of the ground work for this has been done. In f!.eny a joint Associati~~ and Brigade Committee ha e been trength· ened ill all areas. Fund ralsmg present an increasing problem but so far the Centre has been able to maintain an adequa te revenue to meet this m~st urgent need. The continued support of the R ailway Police and Pnsons Departmen.ts has been mo t enc~)Uraging and give great hope for the future. Dunng the year 5,360 Certificates and Award were issued a considerable increase on the previous year. ' The igeria Police reported a very successful year a nd Fir t id wards numbered 2,168 being an increase of 415 over 1961. Seventy-one classes in all were held a~d ther~f' were two Lay Lecturer Course. Twenty-five new Lay Lecturer s Certrncates were awarded and 30 certificates were renewed. In Sierra Leone the starting of First Aid Courses in the new industrial area some seven miles from Freetown was discussed and it is hoped that classes will start shortly. A scheme for First Aid W.eek was started and First Aid talks were given to as many people as possIble. The Government asked for a series of First Aid lectures to those attending an Administrative Officers' Course which was arranged. ' The Headquarters Office,r reports that i.t has been possible to organise a full programme of classes ill ~r~etown wIth lectures to the general public as well as classes for the MinIstry of Health Ambulance Drivers and mem?ers of the Freetown Fire Service. In addition to First Aid lectures, a senes of talks were given on the radio both for adults and children on the ~ubject of First Aid and Accident; in the Home. These were ~eU receIv~d .and brought forth numerous enquiries regarding the work of the A.ssoclatlOn. There are hopes for further developments with personnel of FIre and R~s~ue services and Prisons and other Government departments, .In Ma~trltlus courses were held for the Police Force, the Government ~Ire ServIce and the Municipal Fire Brigade. The number of re-examina· tlOn awards showed an increase on 1961 and the support of Government D epartments was encouraging. In Tanganyika Mr. M . N. E. Shaidi, the new Commissioner of police, ~ucceeded Mr. Wilson as Chairman. Funds were raised by a film shoW ill D ar-es-Salaam, organised by members of the Round Table and also by a flag day. Plans are being made for development in 1963. ' In Uganda whilst there have been regular classes and re-examinations, there has. been a decline in the number of certificates awarded. The arrival of Mr. Pilb.eam as ~eadquarters Officer has resulted in both Ministries of Health taking consIderable interest in the work of the Association. The

Headquarters building in ~ampala continues to be valuable in the work of all sections of the Order 111 Uganda; we congratulate the Centre on the fact that by collective efforts the amount outstanding on the loan has been so reduced that it is expected they will be cleared of debt by the middle of

1963.

In Zanzibar the Asso ciation expanded its activities. Training has concentrated on First Aid ourses for members of the Police Force. A course was held for Lay Lecturers. There is a waiting list of persons anxious to join First Aid and Home Nursing classes, an indication of the splendid work of the Centre. Several successful demonstration on First Aid were given at the Red Cross Annual General Mee6ng and for the Zanzibar Women's Association and other simiJar organisations. Ceylon had a successful year and at the Annual General Meeting the remarks of the Hon. Mr. A . P. Jayasuriya, Minister of Health and Chairman of the Centre, indicated how much the Government appreciated the work of st. John. Certificates and Awards issued increa ed as compared with 1961. A generou contribution from the Police Corp of the Brigade made it possible for the Centre to undertake the work of translating the First Aid Manual into Singhalese. This is progressing. Manuals in Tamil are being purchased from India and with these two books training will be greatly facilitated. Hong Kong showed remarkable progress. Certificates and awards issued amounted to 4,274, an increase of 793 as compared with 1961. Fundraising activities-the Annual Ball produced $55,730 and the Annual Flag Day $55 ,639. Classes included personnel from Government Departments, docks, commerce and indu try, including no less than 70 bank clerks from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. One hundred and sixty-five men, 61 women and 27 girls joined the Brigade as a result of the Centre's classes. Malaya reported a successful and eventful year. The Association is now functioning efficiently in all the eleven States of the Federation. 1963 will be the Silver Jubilee year of the Association in the Federation and will be a special event for the State of Perak where it was started in 1938. Arrangements are being made to celebrate the event in Ipoh. The number of classes increased in all States and the total number of certificates and awards issued amounted to 3,739, being an increase of 409 over 1961. Regular classes were held for Lay Lecturers in Penang, Perak, Salangor, Malacca and Kelantan. These resulted in an increase of Lay Lecturers available to help with training. .t: successful Occupational Fir t Aid Clas was started in Selangor. ThIS was the first of its kind to be held in the Federation and most of the large firms supported it. The. Centre in North Borneo provides a good example of close cooperatIOn between all First Aid interests and 1962 was another year of gro.~~. The generosity of business men and the success of money-raising actIvltIes has resulted in ambulances and equipment being provided for ~any .out-stations. In addition, the Centre gives a variety of services, mcl~dll~g a donation for the setting up of a St. John Hospital library ~erMce 111 the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Jesselton; books being provided ~ alay, Chinese and English. A sewing TIlachine was also presented to e same hospital for the Diversive Therapy Department.

12 The Centre has been promised equipment for a blood bank for use in the Duchess of Kent hospital in Sandakan. During the Brunei crisis, St. John provided stretcher-bearers at Labuan airport and carried out other dutie for which their training has fitted them until the army had set up their own first aid centre. The Association and Brigade members were on duty and collected 100 people for tests and grouping for blood transfussions if necessary. Training cla se continued with the help of Lay Lecturer for members of Government service and the public, including lecture for Boy Scouts Girl Guides and various groups of young people. Life aving cla ses wer~ also organised. Singapore has reported a good year; active member hip having in. creased from 1 231 to nearly 3,000. Training wa carried out in the Singapore Polytechnic, Police Negara Singapura Singapore Fire Brigade, Army personnel schools and members of the public. Of the 122 classes, 94 were in First Aid. In Fiji the number of people gaining certificate showed an increase. The St. John Training Officer was actively engaged in extending lecturin2 activities to many primary schools, although handicapped by lack oftrans~ port. It is estimated 120 recruits have joined the Brigade from As oeiation classes. First Aid Week activities included demonstration in Mouth-to. Mouth resuscitation. Window displays were arranged and a radio-talk was given. In the district of Nadi enthusiastic workers rai ed the necessary finance to purchase an ambulance. This has been handed ower to St. John to be run by Brigade members with the help of a day-time dri cr paid by Government. This is the first full-year during which the s ociation was able to have the use of its own accommodation for office stores and lectures. Close co-operation with the local branch of the British Red Cross Society continued throughout the year. Reports from the Caribbean and North Atlantic Centres of the Associa· tion indicate the interest being taken in their work. During the past year our classes have included students factory workers, hotel employees, laundry and dry cleaning employee office staffs chool teachers, air hostesses, oilfield staff and field workers, sugar e tates staff and field worke.rs, students and priests at the Benedictine Abbey (Trini· dad), PresentatIOn College, Grenada and Trinidad, Teachers Training C?l~e~e, JaI?aica, Salvation Army staff, Electricity Commission (closed DIvI~IOn bemg formed), the Prisons Service, Fire Brigade Police, Port Se:v~ces Department, Hotel and Catering School (this is sponsored by the Tr~rudad and Tobago Government), Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Boys' Bngade. The newly-formed Trinidad and Tobago Coastguards, com· m~nded by Cdr. Peyton-Jones, Royal Navy, requested training in First Aid and cl.a~ses are now in progress. Classes were arranged for members of the Bntlsh Commonwealth Legion of Ex-Servicemen in Trinidad, Fourteen men passed the examination. In British Guiana a short course in First Aid was organised for Head Teachers and Assistant Teachers in the interior. In Barbadoes, the course of lectures at the Y.W.C.A. reached a success· f~l c~mclu.si~m, and it is likely that a Division will be registered. A dumb grrl m !nrudad came through with flying colours, gaining special com~endatIOn from the doctor conducting the examination. I feel I should lIke to congratulate her on her achievement. It is hoped that classes in

First Aid and Home. Nursing will become part of the programme of the Assumption College m Tobago. . . .., An intere tir:g. development. was the .1l1troductIOn of FIrst AId Hints ver Radio Tnmdad and RadIO GuardIan. These were broadcast many ~irnes a day before and during St. John Week .. T~ey aroused ver~ c~m siderable interest throughout the Islands and It IS hoped that slmllar arrangement can be made with other radio stations and that the "Hints" will become a regular part of the programme.. . . Lay Lecturers cO~ltinue t<:> render valuabl.e .servlce and It IS ~ost encOUl'aging to see an mcrease m the number wlllmg to under~ake t~s work. 1962 saw the opening of everal new Headquarters and FHst AId posts . In Savanna la Mar Jamaica, a spacious building ideally ituated for its purpose wa declared open b~ general Kirkman ea~ly in. the yea.I. In port Antonio, Jamaica, .E. It 1 hoped to open a FHst AId post m the near future. 0 er 150 men and women have gained certificates, and the building is very nearly completed. Montego Bay, Jamaica, .W., now have their own Headquarter building in the centre of the town. In Arirna, Trinidad Hi Wor hip the Mayor formally opened a building to be used as Headquarter for Corps o. 3. Port Service, Trinidad, have their own Fir t Aid po t in a building belonging to that Government Departmenl. In San ernando, South Trinidad, it is hoped to have the use of the old Health Centre as a temporary Headquarters. In Antigua high hope are entertained that a joint Sl. John/ Red Cros. Headqu~rt~rs will soon become a reality. Barbados have recently acqUlred a bmldmg from the Government. St. John Committee have proved mo t helpful in St. Kitts, Antigua and Grenada. J n St. Kitts, a a result of the work of the Committee, there has been a remarkable enthusiasm aroused among t the public and in the schooL. 11 1S hoped to develop our work in evis and to give further assi tance to Anguilla where there i need for help with lecturers and examiners. Antigua. and Grenada are developing well and progress will be quicker in both place if they had a training centre and more transport. A St. John Committee is well established in the Virgin Islands and an appeal for fund is to be launched for equipment. TRA

LA nONS

The Priory in South Africa have completed the revised translation of the First Aid Manual in Africaans and this has now been published. They have al 0 prepared a tran lation of the Preliminary First Aid Manual in Africaans which they expected to publish in 1963. The Chinese translation of the First Aid Catechism was prepared in Hong Kong and published during the year; also the supplement dealing with resuscitation and work started on translating the Preliminary First Aid Manual. We are grateful to Dr. F. 1. Tseung and all those 'who have contributed so much to our work by making these publications possible . . The First Aid Manual has been translated into Maltese by Dr. Morana m Malta and it is hoped that this will be published in 1963. In Ceylon Work continued on the translation of the First Aid Manual into Sinhalese and as soon as blocks were available it was hoped to publish tlus book. In India work continues in tran lating the latest edition of the First Aid Manual into further Indian languages and in Pakistan there are plans for

CO CLUSIO

It is a privilege to acknowledge on behalf of the As ociation the inspirim devotion of doctors and nurses who lecture and examine in this important work, and those men and women who give up their time to erve as laJ instructors and demonstrators. The increasing calls for help in schools, with youth organisations and in industry are willingly met; without their help the Association could not fulfil its functions. The County Directors, Centre Secretaries and Clas Secretaries have done much to develop the work of the Association and to meet the growing demand for information about First Aid and it training. With our world-wide organisation compri ing of men and women in so many countries who give up their time to fulfil the functions which the Order of St. John has laid upon the Association, I am unabl e to thank each one individually and so I would like to reach as many as possible by this means in saying how greatly their work is appreciated. In conclusion, I should like to express my appreciation of the great assistance given by Mr. D . C. Maclean and Lt.-General Sir Alexander Drummond, the Deputy Directors of the Association, and also to Dr. J. S. McLintock in his advisory capacity as Medical Officer. They join with me in thanking our small permanent staff directed by Colonel Gueritz for a good year's work. PHILIP SOUTHWELL,

A Greek translation of the Preliminary Fir t Aid Manual wa completed ano it was hoped to publish thi in 1963. A Turki h tran lation of the same book was in progress. The Priory of Wales undertook the tran lation of the Preliminary First Aid Manual into Welsh and this wa published in the summer of 1962. The Association wishes to thank the translators of these manuals, who are thus providing very necessary aid to training not only for the St. John Ambulance Association but for other organisation carrying au! the same work whose member wish to have a manual in their own language.

COMMISSIONER-IN-CHIEF'S REPORT This is my first report since it has been my pr!vilege to take. up t~e. tment as Commissioner-in-Chief of the Bngade. I mentIOn thIS appom it gives me the opportunity of thanking my predecess~r, General b~c~use n for his five years of untiring and cea eless devotIOn to .the KiB ~ mda 'This together with his experience and skill, has left an orgamsangaine.first-class , running o.rder and rna d e t h etas k 0 f ta k'mg over, as I tion did in August, a comparatlVe.1y smooth one. . I think it might be appropnate to start my report for 1962 by quotmg from a letter: "I heard you tell the policeman that you were a St. John man so I felt confident when you rendered assistance. Up to t~en I insisted that no one should touch my foot as laymen, however kmd, can often do more harm than good." .. . . This statement epitomises the way m whIch we alID. for t~e pubbc ~o regard the Brigade. The full measure of what was .achieved. III 1962 w~ll be apparent from the detai.ls a~d. cases tre~ted Whl~h ar~ hsted later m the report. In this connectIOn It IS. of partIc~lar satIsfactIOn to note the increasing instances reported of skIlful first aId rende~c:d by our Cadets, often under trying and sometimes dangerous condItIons. I am also impressed by the wa~ the wC?rk C?f the Brigade continu.es. to expand overseas, details of whIch are glVen In the paragraphs descnbmg overseasactivities. . During 1962 we learned with deep regret of the deaths of four Semor Officers who had been staunch supporters of the Brigade for many years. They were:. .. Lady Dunbar-Nasmith, a forme.r Deputy S,:pennten~ent-II~-~hief and to whom further reference is made m the Supenntendent-lll-Chief s report. Major P. G. Darvil-Smith C.B.~., who h~d been Brigade Secretary for 37 years, Commissioner for Buckinghamshlre for 23. years and .latterly County President (Cadets) of Buckinghamshire' a qUlte outstandmg and varied record of Brigade service. Colonel H. M. P. Hewett T.D. a former Commissioner for Northamptonshire for nine years and previously its Deputy Commis ioner. . Lieut.-Colonel A. W. S. Armitage, Commissioner for Leicestershlre ~nd Rutland who was tragically killed in a road accident. He had been domg notable work as Commissioner. We extend our sincere sympathy to their relatives in t~eir sad loss which we, from also having known them, can fully apprecIate. ROYAL OCCASIO S

We were honoured during the year by H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, who yet again held the Cadet Rally, and by H.R.H. The Duchess of Gloucester who was present and gave away the prizes at the Finals of the Brigade First Aid and Nursing Competitions. It is pleasant to report that letters received subsequently said that Their Royal Highnesses were pleased with what they had seen. In addition to these purely Brigade occasions members were, of course, on duty during the visits by Her Majesty The Queen and other members.

The figures for duties during the years are virtually the same as in 1961 but there has ?een a falling off in the number of cases treated and accidents athit~nhd~d. ThIS could be an indication that the accident rate is declining w c IS, of course, very much to be desired. f The above totals d~ not, of course, give the complete picture. Thousands o cases .are dea~t v.:Ith by members off-duty which are never re orted. Such aSSIstance IS. glVen unobtrusively and as a matter of cours: which frequently makes It all the more valuable.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER-IN-CmEF SPECIAL DUTIES

Eighteen requests for air attendant escorts were received and met. This important and growing section of the Brigade's activities is particularly in keeping :vit~ the requirements of moderr: tim~s and the increasing use of thi servIce IS therefore a matter of satIsfactIOn. The reports of these duties always make fascinating reading and may describe escorting a lady paralyzed after a stroke to Johannesburg or taking an eight-year old Arab girl from a London hospital back to Kuwait. This service, of course, is not only from this country and from time to time a seriously ill British seaman or a holiday-maker who has met with an accident has to be fetched from some remote part of the world. When it i remembered that air attendants are normally required at short notIce and may have to go anywhere in the world, it is remarkable that every request for this entirely voluntary sc.rvice was met in 1962. In September the B igade throughout the country assisted the Association in the organisation and running of National First Aid Week involving considerable effort by both staffs and members in counties. Assistance was al 0 provided with the RoSPA Water Safety Campaign in June. The fir t aid cover for the Royal Agricultural Show held in 1962 in Newca tie was, a is generally the case for this how, provided jointly by the Briti 11 Red Cross Society and the Brigade. The severe storms during the preparatory period caused many problems not only for the Show authorities but also for those responsible for first aid cover. In the event the problem were solved and during the whole course of the Show 285 cases were handled. Fir t aid cover was similarly provided in conjunction with the B.R.C.S. in a number of other countie , including Somerset for the Bath and West Show, and in Sussex for the Royal and Counties' Agricultural Show. The Brigade also provided fir t aid cover in Lancashire for the Liverpool and Royal Lancashire Shows, and in Nottingham for the Goose Fair. Two cases of a i tance to notable people may also be of interest. Mr. Stirling Mo was assisted by members of the Brigade in Sussex after his crash at Goodwood and this at some personal risk to the members concerned since the area was soaked with petrol.and there was a distinct danger of fire. In Glouce tershire the Brigade attended Miss Pat Smythe after she wa rendered unconscious by a fall from her horse whilst jumping in the Moreton-in-the-Marsh Agricultural and Horse Show. Train escorts were once again provided for the Yorkshire/Lille Exchange Committee to assist in their annual exchange holiday scheme for English and French schoolchildren visiting France and England respectively. Altogether eight train each carrying several hundred schoolchildren were escorted by members from London, Kent and the West Riding of Yorkshire.

This C<:>nference take pJace every other year .and prOVIdes an excellent opportumty for discussion on the administrat~ve matter.s which are so important in the every-day bu ine of IUnrung the Bngade.

SE lOR OFFICERS

I?uring the year Sir J,ohn Buchanan, K.C.M.G. M.D. CH.B., F.R .C.P., reSIgned af~er 12 years valuable service as Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief for Overseas, s~nce when ,:"e have been fortunate in having the benefit of the helpful advIce and aSSIstance of Dr. P. W. Dill Rus ell C.B. E. on overseas matters. ' The following changes in Commis ioner resulted from re ignation and the de~th of COl<:mel.Armitage to which reference has already been made: .Reszgned:-Bngadier M. L. Hayne, C.B.E., Birmingham; Dr. F. L. Richard, O.B.E., M.B., CH.B., Staffordshire; Brigadier D. H. Knott, D.S.O., C.B.E., M.C., Worcestershire Brigadier H~yne did ?1agnificent w~rk in the Birmingham area for over 12 years and It was WIth deep regret that his resignation owing to illh ealth, h.ad to be accepted. ' Dr. RIchard's resignat~on was ~lso a matter of great regret. He had been a to:ve~ of strength m the Bngade for 40 years including the last 15 as CommISSIOner for Staffordshire.

In the absence of the Surgeon-in-Chief overseas the Deputy Surgeonin-Chief reports as ~01l0:V:. ., "As this report IS bemg complIed, the Surgeon-I~-Clllef, Mr. TaylorYoung, is on a private tour of the F~r East, ~.ustr~ha and ~ew Zealand, but is taking advantage of the oc~a l?n to VISIt Bng~de Umts and make contact with other st. John orgam atIOns and establishments. "Some re-organisation has taken place in the Department but on the whole the year has been one of consolidation. Mr. Ge.orge C.raf~, o~r Senior Staff Officer has again carried out t~e many routm~ dutIes m .h1S usual efficient and unobtrusive manner. His speCial care IS the keepmg of Surgeons' records and the organisation of confe~eI?-ces. In both respects his work has been immaculate. He has now been Jomed by .Headqu~rters Staff Officer Mr. George Kirkham who is well known for his work m the competition field both as a competitor and organiser. We extend to bim a hearty welcome.. . "During the year 173 new Bngade Surgeons were appomted, the number of deletions due to death re~ignations and transfer to the Re erve was 71 the active strength thus being increased by 102. It is noted that the re~ignations have occurred almost entirely at the upper age group, and that most of the newcomer are at the other end of the scale. We are particularly pleased that the st. John Ambulan~e Brigade ~s making such an impact on the younger members of the medIcal profeSSIOn.. . "The Annual Surgeons Conference was held at Harrogate m Apnl under the chairmanship of the Surgeon-in-Chief. Eminent or~hern Surgeons gave talks on External Cardiac Resuscitation and the NatIO?al Accident Service Survey but the basis of the Conference was 'confern~g in a big way'. The interchange of ideas and opinions, as well a dI~ cussion on important matter such as 'The Textbook' and 'Compet~ tions' revealed the active and searching interest of those present. TheIr advice and help will be of the greatest value in enabling us to formulate tbe future policy. . . "The Surgeon-in-Chief and I decided that we should VISIt as. many of the counties as po sible, and our programme for the ye~r .was WIdespread and extensive, embracing Inspections, Conference , Tra11l!-ng Cour es and Regional Finals. We also maintained a close liaison wIth the St. John Ambulance Association the Armed Force, the Priory for Wales and the Commandery in Northern Ireland. We propose to continue the e activities during the coming year and to meet as many Brigade Surgeons as possible. Finally we would like to tender our sincere thanks to all Brigade Surgeons for their sustained support in all directions." I should like to record a particular word of appreciation to the DeP'.lty Surgeon-in-Chief Dr. Scott for his invaluable support and also for takmg charge during th~ latter pa~t of the year while the Surgeon-in-Chief was overseas.

CIVIL DEFE CE

Some progres has been made in rat ing Brigade Fir t Aid Parties to work with (but not to form part of) the Civil Defence Corps under the scheme to which reference wa made in the 1961 report. Good results have been achieved. in C.ornwa.l1, ~ancashire, NorthuI?-~erland, Notting. ham Sussex WarwIckshIre, WIlt hIre and the West RIdmg of Yorkshire although elsewhere the respon e in many cases ha been di appointing. ' The latest figure available of Brigade members actually in the Civil Defence Corps from England and Northern Ireland are 2 525 men and 718 women. The Home Office has continued to allot the Brigade one vacancy on every Senior Officers' Course held at the Civil Defence Staff College totalling about twelve a year. At time there is con iderable compel itio~ in the Brigade for these vacancies but at others we are unable to find candidates to take them up, probably owing to the fact that the length of the course mean absence for a week. With this point in mind a One. Day Civil Defence Course entirely devoted to the Brigade will take place at Sunningdale on 26th January, 1963. Thi has been well upported and an attendance of over a hundred members is expected. In view of the interest in this type of course and the unavoidable disappointment caused by the refusal of some applications , it is hoped to arrange a furthor course later. Progress ha also been made in recruitment for the ational Ho pital Service Reserve, and this is described in the report of the Superintendent. in-Chief.

LEADERSHIP TRAI I G

A generous gift from the Sembal Trust made it possible for the number of leadership training courses in 1962 to be increased to four and in 1963 there will be six. When, therefore, it is remembered that in 1961 there were only three courses the measure of our gratitude to the Sembal Trust for their support can be readily appreciated. The 1962 Courses were held. in the Universities of Leicester, Liverpool and Bristol, and at an hotel 111 Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex ; 44, 43, 54 and 40 delegates attended respectively. The value of these Courses is inestimable and they are a cradle for producing the officers of the future. Equally important, it has been found that not only do they provide the training but also the inspiration to the younger. mem~ers to bec.ome willing to take on the responsibility of leadership. ThIS outcome IS due to the high standard and interest achieved on these courses and in this connection I pay particular tribute to the work of the responsible Officer, the Assistant Commissioner-in-Chief, Lieut.-Colonel Arthur Goring.

EMERGE CIES

CADETS

Reference has already been made to the instances of coolness and efficiency shown by Cadets at accidents and in several cases courage and pe~sonal bravery were also added to those qualities. In addition, and qUIte apa~ from their normal training, Cadets have throughout the year. co~t111ued .to render service to the public in many ways, including helpmg m hospItals (for the over I5-year oIds), shopping for old people,

It is fortunate that in 1962 the Brigade ha not been called on ~o he~p in so many disaster a in the prevjou ~ear. Assista~ce was gIven 111 Mauritius in lv1arch when Hurricane Jen111e struck the Island. In British Guiana during the General Strike in February, there ~a severe rioti~g, looting and firing of business premise , whkh resulted 111 many casualt~es. Few doctors and nur e were available and Ambulance and Nur mg members helped for a week in the ho pita1 to care for the injured.

THE

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

In August a severe typhoon caused wide damage in Hong Kong and Brigade members sheltered and cared for 500 homeless people in the St. John Headquarters. We learned from North Borneo that during the initial stage of the Brunei emergency the Brigade was doing a 24-hour watch at the Labuan Airport, acting as stretcher bearers to the incoming military casualties Brigade members also provided help to the Army for a week with first aid and other duties. More recently the Brigade was helping with relief work in connection with the severe floods and it is of interest that a St. John member for Sandakan helped save a casualty by the mouth-tomouth method of resuscitation.

consequently, to some degree in a state of flux in regard to their general allisation. I wa charged to try and assess the prospects of St. John org k and am glad to say that these were more promising than might ~~:e been expected. It is encouraging to see the Cha~rmanship of the council in Uganda taken by Mr. Kulubya,. an old f!'lend ~f ~t. Jo~n rk and an African elder statesman of hIgh standmg. Slllilarly, m ~Onganyika, Mr. Kahama, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, has :cepted the Chairmanship of the Council, and Dr. Nyerere has agreed ~o be President and told me personally that he would giye his suppor.t to what he considered wc;t the good work St. Joh~ was dom.g. In ~anzibar the possibility of ettmg l:lP a ~t. J ohn Coun~ll on a WIde ~asls of all communities is under consIderatIOn. In Kenya It was encouragmg to hear that in the constitutional. discussions Ministers w~re alive to the. w?rk d~ne by the Voluntary Orgamsation and stated that It would be the mtentIOn to encourage the continuance of this w?rk. In. all .three of the large ~erri tories mentioned a new S1. John CouncIl ConstItutIOn has been negotIated in principle, gi~jng wide.r respon ibilities to the local Councils. There remain only vanous detaIl to clear up. . . . Opportunity was naturally taken to see Bngade umts and to dISCUSS problems on behalf of the Association. The Brigade and Association work can be reported as continuing well and is so ingrained in public services such as Pollce Railways and Fire Services, that it is thought prospects in th~ !uture remain promi ing but d~ring the high pressure period of tranSItIOn to the vanou~ degrees of mdependence we must expect things to go lowly for a whIle. OVERSEAS VISITOR

We were pleased as alway to welcome many overseas Brigade visitors at the St. John functions held during the summer. The countries and territorie represented were :- Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, British Guiana, Cyprus, Ghana, Gibraltar, Grenada, Kenya, Malaya Mauritiu , Monserrat, Nigeria Sierra Leone and Trinidad. At the Cadet Rally in Manchester and at the Brigade Finals Competition, 32 Overseas St. John members had the honour of being presented respectively to H.R.H. The Princess Margarc,t and H.R.H.

This year is the first complete year in office of Col?l:el Benyon as Controller Over eas. He has devoted great energy and abIlIty to his work and I am grateful for all he doe in thi important post. "FLYI G CHRISTI E'

The work of the Brigade in Guernsey' Rescue Launch the "FlYing Christine" and her exploit are widely known. It wa the~'efore, learned with regret that severe damage was caused to her durmg the heavy weather at the end of the year. It is, however, intended that a new and even better launch will be ob. tained to succeed her and it is an indication of the value of the "Flying Christine's" work and reputation that the new has caused donations, many of them anonymous, to be ent from many part of the country towards the cost of her successor.

Finally, I would like to close by thanking all memb.ers of the Br~gade throughout the world for the devoted ~upport they gIVe to the Bn~ade d for all they do for it. The many kmd messages of support re~e~ved an becoming Commissioner-in-Chief emphasised how strong the spint of f:e Brigade is right across the Commonwealth and were a great source of encouragement. . . The period of. change-.over of co~and must mevIt~bly I?ean some pheaval in routme and If the transitlOn has succeeded m bemg smooth ~ is due to the backing of a loyal and hard-working staff. I would also ~artjcular1y thank my colleagues, Marjorie, Countess of BreckD:ock (~he Superintendent-in-Chief), and Mr. Taylor-Young (the Surgeon-ill-Chief) with whose backing and help many paths have been made smooth for the newcomer in office. ROYER DICK,

JOHANNITER - UNFALL- HILFE

This branch of the German Order which corre pond to the Brigade in Germany entered teams for the 1962 Casualties Union Competitions at Esher. Once this was known the Brigade in Surrey were quick to offer hos· pitality and take the opportunity of showing these German isitors some. thing of the Brigade's work including a Di isional In pection. The meetings which resulted were of interest to both sides and pre ented good opportunity to discuss mutual problem. Fortunately, Brigadier Read, the Commissioner, speaks German so wa able to lighten the load of the team's interpreter during these discussions. CO CLUSIO

On August 15th, on the regretted retirement of General Kirkman, I had the honour to be appointed as Commis ioner-in-Chief of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and I am highly conscious of the responsibilities which this involves. It is perhaps right on assuming an appointment, to think over and formulate some specific objects for which to work and the things which I have chosen are the following:First to maintain rigidly our standards in the Brigade. These stand high in the public mind as the quotation at the beginning of this report makes clear. Nothing must be allowed to lower that standard or to reduce the confidence which the public have in the skill and conduct of those who wear Brigade uniform. Secondly, it is essential to look all the time, as it were, at the horizon. By looking ahead we will see the constant need to reinforce Brigade Officers and Members alike by the young members coming forward. It must be a prime object to encourage and train them in taking charge and leading. This does not mean throwing away the knowledge and ex· perience of the older members, but it is for them to ensure that the younger people do come forward and are fit to maintain our standards. A third aim is to reinforce the links with the Association. The Brigade and Association are complementary, of course, as we are well aware, but by forging the closest possible links each Foundation will help the task of the other.

Auxiliary nursing ha bee l 1 regularly carned out III hospItals aild in place such as the Cheshire Home as well as under the Di~trict. urse, and much neighbonrIy care ha been given by me~bers ~o sIck, dlsabl~d and old people in their own home, including help WIt? sIckroom eqUIpment from the Medical Comfort Depots. ~ubstantIal help, too, continues to be given at clinic of many kinds and m the blood transfusion service.

Reports on help given in hospital and to the home-boun~, and assIsta~ce .at clubs and on recreational outings or at summer hohday centres, mdIcate work of immense value in helping to ease the many burdens and restrictions of infirmity.

AN UAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIO ER-I -CHIEF

The Hospital Car Service which is run jointly ,b~ the B.R.C.S., W.V:S. and SJ.A.B. has again had a busy year ~n provldmg ~ transport serVIce for many thousand patients. In appreCiatIOn of their devoted work a s ecial Jetter of thanks to drivers who. h~ve served for ten years and ov~r :as been instituted and has ?een sent JOll1tly by the three headquarters In the past year to over 900 dnver . St. John and Red Cross Welfa.re Services f~r sic.k serviceI?en a.r: d their families in Naval, Military and Au- Force hospItals m the Ulllted Kmgdom and overseas continue to fill a vital need. During my Far East tour early in the year I had the opportunity of visiting Service hospitals in Malaya, Singapore and Hong Kong, nine ir: all. Chief. Welfar.e Offic~r, Miss Woolri ch, S.J.A.B., kindly accompamed me on thIS most mterestmg tour. I would like to pay tribute to the valuable work ,being done by her aJ?-d t~e Service Ho pitals Welfare Department through ItS Welfare Officers m thIS Command as well as el ewhere. At the end of the year 9 Welfare Officer were erving, of whom 19 are Brigade members posted a follows: Headquarters 2, Un~ted Kingdom 10, B.A.O.R. 2, Middle East 3, Far East 1 and Ea t Afnca 1. Unfortunately present numbers are not up to strength and more candidates are needed for this mo t interesting and u efnl work. There have been 37 Dilfor ca e dealt with by the Department during the year. the relatives of very eriou ly ill service patient being; sent to over ea de tination in B. .O.R., Bahrain, France, Malaya, Smgapore and Tokyo. War disabled ex-servi emen continued to receive extensive care from the St. John and Red Cros Ex-Service War Disabled Help Department and in the twelve month ended June 1962 a higher number of applications was dealt with on problem and needs re ulting from disablement on war service, which in many cases were accentuated by increasing age. Out of the 50000 applications, 16,500 received financial aid amounting to £76,000 from Joint Committee funds and the remainder were helped with services of many kind to ease their individual problems. Ranging from friendly isits and personal service for the home-bound or the provision of diversional handicraft and recreation to financial assistance for a multitude of needs, the Department continues to give invaluable help to disabled officers and other ranks and to widows and retired nurses of the Armed Force. The. Department records its thanks to St. John and Red Cross members who by their services throughout the country as administrative officers, visitors and on Committees enable the work to be carried out. The ursing Cadets have again made a splendid contribution in their gift of 220 knitted knee rugs which are greatly appreciated by the pensioners. Through the St. John and Red Cross Hospital Library Department li~rary facilities were provided to 309 Service hospitals in the United Klllgdom and overseas and, in addition, the service was given to 2,558 war disabled ex-service pensioners in their own homes or in civilian establishments. The service was also supplied to 1,090 civilian hospitals under arrangements with the Ministry of Health and Hospital Management Committees on the basis of the capitation fee of 13s. 6d. per occupied bed per annum. Seventeen hospitals in H.M. Prisons were provided with a service and 27 homes run by the Order of St. John and the British Red Cross Society and the Joint Committee.

THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE

The whole ser ice involved an issue of nearly four million books f r the year. The help given in this work by St. John per onnel continuo and tl~ere are ten St. John Cou 1ty Organisers, t,\'o assistant Coun~s Orgarnsers and ome fi e hundred and fifty librarians. Y T~I ING A P CqNFl!RENCES: The wide scope of Brigade work and Its close relatIOnshIp wIth the statutory health and welfare ervice as well as tho.se of other vol:untary ?rganisation , entail con tant revie~ ~nd consultatIOn !l<;>t only wIth outslde authorities bu~ within ~he ilrigade Itself.. Many tramlllg ?onferences have been held III the dIstricts and countIes sev.eral of whIch were attended by the Tr ining Advi er, Miss Duff Grant, m Durham, Hertfordshire London Di trict, Surrey, Cumber. land and Westmorland and Northen~ Ireland, a':1d those. in Derbyshire and Somerset were attended respectIVely by Ml s Harn on and Miss Watson. It ~as. a gr~at pleasure to me t.o be pre ent at the Priory for ~ales Commls lOners and County Supenntendents Conference in Car· diff ar:d ~lso the Northumber1~nd training weekend. At national level my DIstnct and County Supermtendents' Conference was again a most helpful opportunity for discussing current trends and problem, and Miss Duff Grant held a further succe sful day conference for ounty Staff Officers (Training). Valuable liais<;>n has been facilitated not only by representation on statutory comIDlttees and those of fellow organi ation but also by attendance at national, county and local Ie el at conferences convened by other ~odies. T~roughout the country St. John officers and members have ~on~ued to gIV~ I?uc~ practi~al ~ervice to the public and to other orgamsatlOns by provldmg mstructIOn m first aid and nursing.

f!URSINq OFFIC.ERS: ~he Chief Nursing Officer report a further satIsfacto~y mcrease Nursmg Officer appointment. In addition to the State Reglst~red Nursmg. Officers we are fortunate, too, in ha ing the help

of many tramed nurses m other executive appointments as well as One· Star ~lUrses ~n .the Divisions, many of whom were St. John Cadets before entenng trammg. In this. connection it is interesting to note that an aven:ge of some 600 Nursmg Cadets enter hospital training every year. !"Ith the constant need. to ext~nd th~ knowledge and practical nursing skill of memb~rs the Bngade IS partlcularly indebted to the Nursing Office~s for th~Ir most valuable help and to Miss Duff Grant who in her ca:pacI~ of ChIef Nu~sing Officer as well as Training Adviser gives much :VIse ~ldance and stImulus to the development of our nursing services mcludmg the N.H.S.R. A :rery successful national C~)11ference for Nursing Officer was again held Ill. Lond<;>n und~r the chaIrmanship of Miss Duff Grant at which many mterestmg pomts were discussed including the revi ion of the nursmg manual.

INSPECTIONS AND T!ISITS: In the past year I had great plea ure in ~nd~rtaking t:vo extensIve overseas tours, the first included Brigade units m SIX countrIes o~ the Far East and the second was to the Priory in Canada. I would like to record my gratitude for the kind welcome given to. me ever;:where a~d my admiration for the excellent St. John work bemg done m all terntories.

CAL RI PORT OF TIIC COMMIS fO ER-I -ClIlfF

My brief stay in Ceylo!1 ~nabJed me to attend a sf!1art parade as well as the Brigade and AssoclatlOn Annual General Meetmg before going on to Hong Kong where I n:et many officers and members of this active district in pected the nurS1l1g cadet and attended everal St. John social function. The recently instituted St. John dental clinic for poor children is doing out tanding work. In Singapore, where the Brigade is also a fiourishll1g and very busy concern, I attended a fine parade of between two and three thousand members at which the sal ute was taken by the Yaner di Pertaun egara, who with his wife, most kindly entertained me. In North Borneo I visited Jesselton, Sandaken and Labuan and I was greatly impre sed by the enthu ia m and by the progress made in the past few year. Remarkabl.e deve~opment, too, wa evident in the Brigade in Malay3. where I spent SlX hectle days. I wa ba ed on Kuala Lumpur and al 0 vi ited the State of egri Sembilan, Perak and Penang. I attended everal very smart parade , the main one being at Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang, the numbers on parade varying between 600 and 800. In addition to con ultations and most kind entertainment at many social functions my visit included several hospital of which the Service hospitals are mentioned earlier in this report. On my return journey I stopped at Delhi and visited the joint St. John and Red Cros India National Headqual1er and in pected a smart parade of the Delhi Divisions. My autumn vi it to the Priory in Canada centred on Toronto for the celebration dinner of the 50th Anniversary of No.1 ur ing Division and No.5 mbulance Divi ion at which I was proud to be guest of honour and to give congratulations to the Divisions on their fine record of service. The excellent programme arranged for my tour by Priory Headquarters gave me the opportunity of meeting many officers and members of the Order, Association and Brigade, and learning at first hand of the invaluable work being done by St. John in this vast country. Places visited included Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, "whistle stops" on my journey we t at Schreiber (Ontario) and Fort William, then on to Winnipeg. Edmonton. Calgary and Vancouver. Superintendent-in-Chief, Miss MacLaren kindly came to Quebec to meet me and accompanied me on the first part of the tour. In the United Kingdom it was a great pleasure to be present at the successful Cadet Rally at Manche ter. which was honoured by the presence of H.R.H. Prince, Margaret. I was also very glad to undertake the orthern IreJand District Inspection, the Wiltshire County Inspection and to carry out the opening ceremony of the King ton Division' new headquarters. At Inspections in the following counties the Chief Nursing Officer and ?lem~er of my staff accompanied you, General Kirkman or the Surgeonm-Chlef:-Shropshire (Miss Duff Grant), Kent (Lady Braithwaite), Northamptonshire (Mis \\latson) and Glouce tershire and Somerset (Miss Baird). HONOURS Miss M. H. Miller, S.R.

., County Superintendent, Suffolk, received

~he award of the M.B.E., in recognition of her many years' valuable work

m the Brigade.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

CHANGES IN APPOINT.NfENTS: It is with great regret that tbe following County Superintendent ' re ignations have been received:_ Mrs. Grain Cambridgeshire, 9 year' service' Mrs. Dening E.S. & N, Devon, 19 years' service; Lady Biddulph, Herefordshire 4 years' ervice formerly having been Area President for a number of years. To them i e tend very warm thanks and appreciation. With pleasure we have welcomed Mrs. Townsend previou Iy County Staff Officer for Nursing Cadet as County Superintendent for E.S. &N, Devon, and Mrs. Congreve, promoted from Assistant County Superin. tendent to County Superintendent for Hereford hire. CO CLUSION The death of Lady Dunbar- asmith in November wa a great adnes! to her many St. John friends who well remember her e ceptional work for the Brigade. Having been appointed County Pre ident for Plymouth, S.W. Devon and E. Cornwall in February 1940, where he took an active part with the Brigade during that difficult period of inten e air raids, Lady Nasmith came to Headquarters in 1942 as Chid Officer for Nursing Cadets and later that year became Deputy Superintendent-in-Chief, in which office she continued until 1954. For her outstanding service Lady Nasmith was awarded the O.B.E. in 1945 and promoted to .B.E. in 1949, To all my District/County Superintendents and County/Area Staff Officers I would again offer sincere gratitude for the unfailing help and support they give both within their Districts/Countie and to u at Headquarters. I cannot conclude without once again expres ing my unbounded gratitude to all the members of my personal staff for the loyal ervice they have given. I have agreed with them to discontinue the practice of mentioning them by name but I would like to thank them one and all for the wonderful help they have given me. I am indeed fortunate. In extending to you, Sir, my grateful thanks for your constant support and encouragement as well as my gratitude to your staff for their a sistance on matters concerning the Nursing Divisions, I would, too, like to record my deep appreciation of the unfailing help and consideration given to me at all times by your predecessor, General Kirkman. Finally Sir, I would assure you of the very loyal support of myself and all ursing personnel.

RELATIO

An event of major importance took place at St. John's Gate on the 26th November, 1963, when a Declaration was signed by the Lord Prior on behaH of the Venerable Order and the Grand Chancellor on behalf of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta clarifying the relationship of the two Order . The text of the Declaration i given in the illustration in thi Report. It is worthwhile to record the historical circumstance which led to it. In 1540 King Henry VIII onfiscated the properties of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England. Except for a brief revival under Queen Mary I, the 'Langue' or 'Tongue" of England, one of the eight national group under which the Hospitallers were organised, went into irtual abeyance. In 1831 The Grand Priory of England wa revived on the initiative of certain Knights f l. John belonging to the ' Ton gue" of Au ergne, Provence and France, acting a a 'Capitular Commission '. In 1858 after con id era ble argument, the validity of the revi va l wa disavowed by the central headquarter of what is now known as the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knight of Malta . In 1888, the Briti h ranch of the Order received a Royal Charter from Queen Victoria, which gave it an independent status. Since then "The Grand Priory in the Briti h Realm of the Most Venerable Order of the Ho pital of St. John of Jeru alem", a what is generally called "The Order of St. John' wa officially named , ha spread throughout the Commonwealth arrying out its practical humanitarian work through the 'Foundation ", the t. John Ambulance As ociation the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and the t. John Ophthalmic Ho pital at Jerusalem . After 1856 relations between the 'Venerable" and "Sovereign" Order can hardly be said to have exi ted. This situation continued until the occupation of Italy by the Allied Forces in 1944. Then personal contact were e tabli hed between members of the Venerable and Sovereign Orders. These contact led to the sending of an official Mission from St. John's Gate in London to the Palazzo Malta in Rome in 1945. A new spirit of friendship and mutual esteem ha since grown up and ha led to the desire to end pa t contro ersie . The As ociation of Knights of Malta in England has been the intermediary in the most recent negotiations, which have culminated in the present Declaration. This involves no change in the constitutional independence of the two Orders, but recognises their historical links and the common tradition that inspires their humanitarian activities. The Declaration may, however, be taken as a symptom of the oecumenical pirit now ·happily res?lving so many misunder tandings and complements the ~onvention whIch was entered into by the Venerable Order with the Johanniterorden o~ Germany (with it Swiss and other ational A sociations) and the Orders of St. John in the Netherlands and in Sweden.

REPORT OF THE CHAPT ER-GENERAL GRAND PRIOR'

ADVI ORY COUNCIL

A meetin a of the Grand Prior' Advi ory Council was held in June Thi was th~ econd time on which the Council, whi~h is a creation of the 1955 Statutes, had met. To quote the w rd of Hl Royal Highness The Grand Prior who presided at the opening meetin g, the essential purpose of the Council ~ere "to review from time to .t ime the SCOpe and activities of the Order In it everal part and to can Ider fresh ways whereby the Order might contribute within its powers and means to the welfare of the peoples of the Commonwealth and el ewhere". A wide variety of topics was discussed and the occasion afforded a most fruitful means of renewing and strengthening personal ontact between the Executive Officers of the Grand Priory and delega tes from the Priories, most of whom were happily able to remain for the Annual Festival of the Order. AN UAL FE TrV AL OF THE ORDER

The Fe ti al wa held on Saturday, 22nd June. Holy ommunion was celebrated in the Crypt of the Grand Priory Church by the Rt. Rev. W. A. Parker, Bishop of Shrew bury.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENbRAL

REPORT OF THE HOSPITALLER AND HOSPITAL COMMITTEE FOR 1963 including the REPORT OF THE HOSPfTAL SUB-COMMlTT ES The Ho pitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Ho pital have the honour to ubmit their seventy- econd report covering the eighty-first year of the Ho pital for the information of H.R.H. The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. GE ERAL

The year ha been di tingui hed by two official Royal visit to the Hospital of particular intere t and encouragement. A mentioned briefly by the Warden in hi Report, Hi Maje ty King Hus ein of Jordan, an Associate Bailiff Grand Cross of the Order, wa graciou ly pleased to open the Eye-bank on the 16th January, and during hi vi it he spontaneously called for a form and bequeathed his own eye to the bank. This splendid gesture, so characteri tic of the King, i the more courageous on the part of a Mo lem ruler, for Mo lem religiou teaching is particularly trict on all matter relating to the human body. His gesture was followed by a declaration from the Mo lem authoritie that the gift of the eyes after death conformed with the tenet of religiou charity. We are therefore particularly grateful to Hi Maje ty for demon trating his approval and support of our work in such a public and practical manner. Some two months later His Royal Highne The Duke of Glouce ter, Grand Prior of the Order, was able to vi it the hospital, accompanied by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Gloucester, the Pre ident of the Ladies' Linen Guild. It will be remembered that Hi Royal Highness had hoped himself to open the new hospital in October, 1960, but had unavoidably been prevented from travelling to Jordan. On the 15th March, however, Their Royal Highnesse arrived by air in Amman, together with Lord Wakehurst, K.G., the Lord Prior of the Order and the Hospitaller; and on the 18th they motored to Jeru alem where they stayed for two days as the guests of the Warden and Mr . Boa e. In lovely spring weather on the 19th March they carried out a very full inspection of the hospital, and later held an Investiture in the course of which seven persons were invested with the insignia of their respective grades in the Order, an event followed by a reception attended by the members of the Order in Jordan. Their Royal Highnesses were also able to do some sightseeing in Jerusalem and in Bethlehem, and to meet members of the British community at a reception held in the garden of the Consulate-General. Their Royal Highnesses expressed their great appreciation of all they saw at the hospital, saying that the scale of the facilities and the standards of work exceeded their expectations, and were both an inspiration and a source of great satisfaction to them. To everyone connected with the hospital, both British and Jordanian, this visit acted as a lively and happy fillip and-if that were possible-augmented the pre tige of the hospital throughout the Middle East. The Hospitaller, accompanied by Lady Duke-Elder and the Secretary, was present during this visit, and subsequently returned in December to

ST.

JOlIN OPIITJlALMI

HOSPITAL OF JERUSAL M

Jerusalem where he stayed until Janua~y, 19~4. During .t~e second visit.Her Highne s Prince s Muna of Jordan paid an Informal VISIt to the HospItal. Apart from- and even d ur!ng- these highlig~ts, the routine d~ily work of the hospital ha gone on 111 the usual way, In so far as medtcal work with its con tantly recurring new problem and urprises can be considered routine. ach working day throughout the year the out-patient department has tended an average of 270 persons who would otherwise have been without h~lp; the ward .have remained full of thos~ who have been more seriously 111; the operatmg theatres have been stramed to the limit of their capacity; while the Eye-bank has become an effective factor in the relief of blindne . It will be een from the tati tic appended to the Warden's Report that tbe total attendance in the out-patient department have declined since the new hospital wa occu pied. Much of thi decline is due to the ituation of the new ho pital out ide the Old City; there i little doubt that when we were working in the mid t of the City many out-patients came with trivial complaint and even becau e they had nothing better to do, while many per isted in returning with unneces ary frequency; they are now discouraged by the di tance they have to travel. The Warden ha made mention of other rea on which contribute to the decline, and particularly to the small drop in total attendance thi year; none of these reason reflects adver ely on the work of the ho pita!. There seems little doubt that the figure in future \. ill tabilize at around 80,000 per annum. It i more ati factory that the figure thi year record the more erious rather than the trivial type of illne and that tho e for major operation reached the unprecedented level of nearly 6,000. Among the e it is gratifying to see that 85 \ ere operation for corneal grafting. In the Report of la t year it wa noted that the research laboratories, built in the ground of the ho pital before the main building was erected, were recently converted into tv\ 0 Oat inee ample provi ion for laboratory accommodation \ a incorporated in the new building. We have now added a econd torey to thi block, making a combined unit of four flats for the u e of urgeon re earch " orker , and their families, a provi ion which hould en ure that all our staff i gathered together within the ho pital compound, haring all the amenitie that this entails. It is also propo ed to add a recreation room to the Sisters' Home; it is expected that thi will complete our building programme for the forseeable future. We were very happy to learn during the year that the British ConsulGeneral ha acquired the open land immediately to the south of the Warden's hou e us a ite on which to build the new Consulate-General. He will be a very welcome neighbour. RESEARCH

In previous Report the progre s of re earch on infective disease or the eye, particularly trachoma, the di a trous condition 0 prevalent in the Middle East, which i e timated to affect between 300 and 400 million pe.ople throughout the world, has been briefly outlined. The re earch ~OItlated in our ho pital and continued by the Medical Re earch Council 10 West Africa ha now reached a tuge when the prophylactic vaccination of children can rea onably be attempted. With thi end in view the Order sent Profes or Barrie Jones to the Middle Fa t with an epidemiologist to

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-O " BRAL

determine where an investigation of thi type could best be initiated on a re earch ba i . For a project uch a thi several de iderata are required in the community among which the preliminary re earch hould be conducted :I. A proportion of the child population up to ab ut 90 % hould become infected before the age of 5 to 7. 2. A child population up to about 700 hould be available for vaccination allowing for controls (who would not be vaccinated) and also allowing for the high death-rate of young children in the e areas 3. Relative i olation, and at the ame time tability of the populatio~ in village of convenient size. 4. The non-availability of antibiotic drug to the population so that the effect of a vaccine are not artificially vitiated. 5. The population hould be such as not to object on religiou or ocial grounds to the acce of Briti h doctor to recently delivered mother and to infants. 6. The availability of residential accommodation for a team of re earch workers. 7. The availability of laboratory accommodation for immediate investigations and the po ibility of relatively acce ible air transport for the despatch of material requiring complicated viral inve tigation to London. A population which is co-operative and a government who are ympathetic to a project of thi type. No uch inve tigation can be carried out vithout the ble ing and active help of the government and its Ministry of Health. It is obvious that these criteria are not readily met, but after a careful survey including Jordan, Iraq, Iran , and Kuwait, Profe or Barrie Jones concluded that the best opportunities for a preliminary e periment lay in Iran that the villages along the pipelines in orthern Iraq were suitable for certain studies which might be undertaken at a later date, and that Kuwait would be a suitable community from which to attempt the elimination of trachoma when the potentialitie of vaccine and the size and frequency of its dosage had been asse sed. [t is hoped that a start will be made in this programme during 1964. It is interesting to note that, largely due to the activities of our hospital and the excellent work of UNRWA over many years in the refugee camp, there is not now sufficient trachoma in Jordan to make it a rewardingfield for our preliminary research work. HOSPITAL COMM1TTEE We record with deep regret the deaths which took place during the year of the Rt. Hon. The Lord Evans and of Mr. J . E. Coomber. Both had been members of this Committee since 1957 and their 10 will be deeply felt. We were very pleased to welcome as a new member Sir Edwin ChapmanAndrews, K.C.M.O., O.B.E., whose appointment as Honorary Treasurer was approved by the Grand Prior in October, 1963. This post ha hitherto been held by the Receiver-General, but in view of the extra duties which the Honorary Treasurer will shortly undertake and are mentioned later in thi report, he had asked that the post should be made an individual

The Committee reported last year that our finance \\ere cau Ing LIS ome concern. Great effort have been made thi ear to keep our recur· rent expen e as mall as po ible and indeed, econ mie have been hown in what may be termed "hou ekeeping' de pite the fact ~hat th.e co t of living in Jordan continue to rise \",ith the same regulanty as It doe in mo t other countries. nhappily we have been compelled to incur considerable extra expenditure in other direction where uch economies are not po sible. In order to meet new commitment und~r the law of Jordan we have had to make provision in the account thiS year for the first time for more than £3,000 for the payment of re~ire ment oaratuitie to our Jordanian taff; uch a cheme, of cour e . I a very good thing. Moreover, expenditure on maintenance and repairs .to the hospital buildings i now a1 0 beginning to make it elf felt. De plte all our efforts our combined expenditure in Jeru alem and in London has therefore risen from £62,000 in 1962 to £67,000 this year' thi latt~r figure includes a non-recurrent item of £1,600 for equipment and furniture for the two new Rats. To off et this rise in expenditure we have received an additional £ 1,800 of revenue from private patient' fee. But our net expenses have increased; and they are bound to increase again next year, for in view of the rising cost of living in Jordan, we have recently had to introduce new salary scales for the Jordanian staff. These became payable from the 1st October, and their effect will, therefore, not become apparent until next year. Although an expenditure of £67,000 may appear high, yet it is Ie. than

In addltlon, the Committee very much hope that our e pense will con iderably increa e in the years to come a our re earch programme gets under way; this will, indeed, be money well spent and the opportunities will be limited only by the finance available. For the e rea on the Committee believe that the time has now come to prepare a ne\v Appeal for further fund. It will be remembered that a limited but very ucce ful Appeal was made in 1955. The generous response to thi not nly enabled u<:> to build and equip our new ho pital and it ancillary r . idential building, but ha al 0 crved to make good the annual deficit incurred in ucceeding year. But the ho. pital is no longer a imple local charity in Jordan; it will become an e ential support of our re earch campaign, a campaign which might well eventually eliminate the greate t c, u e of blindnes , not only in the Middle Ea t but through ut imm n e area of the world. Much greater i sue are, therefore, at take, and we are confident that ur friend who have helped u 0 generou Iy to tart thi work will \\i h to see it through, and that other from a much \\ ider field \\ ill \\i h to be a sociated \\ ith u .

REPORT FOR 1963 RETROSPE T

It wa a bu y year and a memorable one. The paramount event was the visit in March of T.R .H. the Grand Prior and the Duchess of Glouce ter, who after a tate Vi it to King Hu ein in Amman, pent two day in Jerusalem, residing in the Warden's house at the hospital. For the first time the tandard of the Grand Prior wa to be seen proudly flying from the top of the ho pital tower. The Duke accompanied by the Duches , made a tour of in pection of the ho pital, and thereafter received members of the Order and inve ted new members with the insignia of their rank. The Lord Prior, Lord Wakehur t, and the HospitaIIer, Sir Stewart Duke-Elder, were in attendance on the Grand Prior throughout his visit. Along with them we were able to welcome the ho pital' new Secretary Mr. N. McClintock who wa making his first visit to the ho pita!. During the year \ e had the honour of being vi ited by no Ie s than three Ho pitallers of the Order. Dr. R . Townley Paton, Hospitaller in the United State, wa with u for orne day in May, not nearly as long as we could have wished. Much of his time here was pent as a "busman's holiday," for his high repute and elegant kill at corneal grafting were mer.ciles Iy exploited by us . We hope it will not be long before he comes again. Tn Augu t, Sir Kenneth Fraser Ho pitaiter in Au tralia, paid us a visit en route to hi home in Bri bane. The Warden wa , unfortunately, away at the time and so looks forward to Sir Kenneth' ne t visit to Britain (via Jerusalem). Our own Ho pitaller visited the ho pital twice in the year, and at hi second vi it in December he and Lady Duke-Elder were here for three ~eeks. With many admini trative matter calling for his attention, and In constant clinical demand, hi vi it was not exactly the ideal holiday . Nevertheless, it mu t be recorded that at the Staff dance on Boxing D ay Sir Stewart relaxed to the extent of showing our young nurses how to enjoy a dance without a twi t. Both he and Lady Duke-Elder did yeoman service as waiters at the Staff dinner and fully earned any commendation we might give them as 'a married couple.'

One of our ophthalmic nur es who qualified in 1962 has left to join the Army nursing ervice. It is appropriate to mention here how valuable the cine-projector equipment (a gift from Canada) has proved it elf. The showing of educational nursing and entertainment films has greatly widened the scope of ou; training syllabu . Recruitment of girls as student nur es is still somewhat of a problem. The mo t recent entrants comprise five males and three female. Thi i a matter in which prejudice must be expected to die out very slowly. STATISTICS

A light general fall in the attendance figures i shown in the quinquennial table. Thi may in part be accounted for by a period of political unre t with it attendant curfew re triction on movements, for at such times patient cannot reach the ho pital and work comes to a stand till. But credit should al 0 be given to tho e nursing orderlies whom we have trained and \ bo no\ work in village clinic away from Jerusalem. Not only do they relieve the pre ure on the ho pital but by referring to us ca e in the early tage of di ea e they help considerably in aving many eye. In thi connection it i of intere t that the variou Blind School have noted a Ie ening in the demand for admi ion for very young children. There was a light ri e in the number of operations, that for enile cataract e ceeding the 1 000 mark for the fir t time. For the record it should be aid that the month of July achieved the fanta tic total of 690 operations-more than half the annual total of ten year ago. The lowest monthly total, 290 wa in ebruary.

CHAPTER-G NERAL

THE EYE-BANK In the report for last year mention was made of the official opening of the Eye-bank by H.M. King Hu sein. This event occurred on January 16th, 1963, and so property belon~ to thi report. The work of the bank has made teady progress dUrIng the past year. Not only has the number of corneal grafting operations increa ed nearly threefold, but it has been possible to supply some pre erved c~rneas to surgeons in Amman and Beirut. Of the 85 corneal graft carned out at the hospital during the year 43 were penetrating or full thicknes graft, and the remainder of the lamellar type. Research into the pre ervation of corneas by deep freezing has been started, since work elsewhere ~as shown this field to be one of promi e. An excellent library of colour lldes of various eye conditions is being gradually expanded. This should prove a valuable adjunct in research, teaching, and the field of public relation, particularly among the medical and para-medical professions. ARTHUR BOASE, Warden ,

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION

A NUAL REPORT FOR 1963 THE OBJECT of this Foundation i the instruction of persons in First Aid and kindred ubjects and 1 am glad to report an increase in the number of classes organised and held by Centres 0:rer the, previ?us ye~r, and an increase in the nu.mb~r of people who obtamed FIrst AId CertIficates or assed in re-exammatlOns. p The appalling increase in the number of accidents on the road and in the home make it imperative, if we are to pursue our objective, to take what steps we can to improve and e?courage edu~at~on i.n this sp~ere by the setting-up of new Centres, whIch the AssocIatIOn IS authorIsed to establi h. A proposal to thi end will, we hope, a i t in this development in the areas of large ind ustrial population in the North Midlands and NorthWest of England. A plan of development, as an experiment, but in no way interfering with the pre ent County Director basis of our organisation, is to take place in the North-We t of England. Mr. K. C. Cook, County Director for Lancashire, ha been appointed Regional Director to cover the counties of Lanca hire, Che hire, We tmorland and Cumberland. The plan include the e tabli hment of many new Centre so as to cover as much of the area a po ible. In addition, the Association has been studying the desirability of appointing an experienced First Aid Regional Development Officer to work with and to a i t our existing county organisations. The fir t appointment, on an experimental basi, will be in the North-We t. It is essential that there hould be the close t co-operation between the Association and the Brigade at all levels, for the more trained First-Aiders under the aegi of the As ociation there are, the greater the candidate potential for admi ion to the Brigade. The Mini try of Labour by it recent regulation on First Aid, ha created an obligation for Management in which the Association play an important voluntary part. We welcome on the A ociation Committee Government Tepre entatives and, from what] see and hear, it would seem that in our particular sphere of welfare work there is no indication of any de ire to depart from the vol untary basis. In tills connection 1 would like to refer to the national employers, the Police, the Railway, Electricity and Ga undertakings, the Post Office, the Mining Industry, the Dock Labour Board. They have aU had experience in First Aid for over half a century and provide a large force of trained Fir t-Aider throughout the country. Many of these help the work of the As ociation through it County Director and Centres in their leisure hours, and to these I wi h to pay a particular tribute. An important aspect of the A sociation's training activities has been the provision of training aid e pecially in connection with resuscitation. A number of devices were studied and advice given to the manufacturers. A series of new wall charts were publi hed and a film strip was made for the Association by the National Dock Labour Board. In additio? to the First Aid in the Home Wall Card which has proved popular, It ~as decided to issue a special wall-card covering "First Aid at Sea and In Tnland Waters". This was expected to be publi hed early in 1964,

REPORT OF THE CHAPT R-GENERAL

The Association in co-operation with the <?ther V?luntary Aid Societies gave a i tance to the Admiralty in preparing th.el~· film OJ?- Emergency Resuscitation. Thi film proved an e cellent trall1ll1g medIUm and the Association ordered a number of copies which were in con tant use on hire throughout the country. Various A sociation centre in England and Overseas purcha ed their own copie . Many Centre arranged public. howing and pra.ctical demon trati?ns of Emergency Re uscitation. AudIence c<?vered a wIde ~ange of or~all1sa tions and included members of the MedIcal and Nur ll1g professlOns. Reports from Centres s~ow expan ion in many area '. A an example, Croydon on its 10th Anl1lversary had 253 me.rr:bers mal~~y representlllg local industry as compared with 68 in 1962. Thls enterpr~sll1g Centre has establi hed a mobile lendina- library to help tho e who WI h to follow-up their First Aid cour e by bfurther tudy. It has become a local liaison channel for enquirie and ha obtained recognition from the Local Education Authorities. The Post Office Ambulance Centre which celebrated its 60th Anni· versary in 1962 continued to . eXI?and a~d added 150 branches ~o. its already large total. An intere tIllg Illnovat~on v:a a Po ter CompetltlOn. The Preliminary First Aid Course \Va gIven III the Post Office for the first time and it u e has been very popular. Many Centres reported a very wide variety of organi ations which were helped by the loan of models or by . pecial lectu.res and displ~ys. A good example is the Rugby Centre which dealt v Ith the Techrucal College, Rugby School Cadet Corps, the, Churches, Mo~her, Union, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, Young Farmers and Young Wive Groups. They also helped to man the S1. John tent at the Royal Show and 0[ganised a bus for handicapped persons. Another Centre, Selby, reported that in a special demon tration on Emergency Resuscitation over 1,000 people were taught and, as a result of an appeal, ample funds were provided to allow for the purchase ?f.a Norwegian training model. Harrogate also purchased a model and It IS in constant use in schools, hospitals, village halls, factorie , office , shops and youth clubs. It is encouraging that in addition to approache from industry it has been possible to run courses for school teachers at college of Further Education, Colleges of Technology and Teacher Training Colleges. It has been noticeable how many Centres have been able to interest schools and youth organisations in First Aid. In London the scheme for providing Preliminary First Aid courses in Secondary School has been most successful and during 1963, 76 schools had courses giving a total of o~er 1,200 children trained. Some of the schools come under local EducatIOn Authorities besides the London County Council, and the idea i spreading. It is an example of happy co-operation between the St. John Ambulance Association, the Brigade and the school teachers. Besides the development in connection with schools and teach!ng establishments all Centres report close co-operation with Youth Orgarusations and Youth Clubs. Additional bodies who have had courses or lectures in First Aid are the Bradford Pothole Club, Cave Rescue Organisation, Lifeguards, Nurses Training Schools, Sailing Clubs, Football Referees, the Rural Industries Bureau, Rotary.

Award Scheme aJs? enc<?urages young people to take First Aid courses and gives them an mcentlve to study allied subjects. The Worcester ~ent~e reported that they had been asked by the Ministry of Agriculture, FI hene and Food to give a short intensive course on basic First Aid to forty office workers who travel throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. The Leamington Centre also reporte~ t.h~t they held a ?~e-day cour ~ for Safety O~cers of the Warwickshire DIVISiOn of the Mll1l try of Agnculture. ConSIderable interest was aroused in other counties, a follow-up full course is being arranged so that some of the Safety Officer may obtain First Aid Certificates. It is encouraging to reali e that since the Mouth-to-Mouth method of resuscitation w~s introduced some 18 month ago about 400,000 men, women and chIldren have had instruction in this method. In addition there will be large number who will have obtained some general experience in this method through public demonstrations. Some Centres gave indications of other form of service they were able to render which include co-operation with Home and Road Safety Committees the provi ion of Fir t Aid boxe on the road or at the sea-side, Medical Equipment Services, 'Sitting-in" Services, heJp for the aged and the pro vi ion of escort to the sea, etc. The Association wa repre ented by Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Drummond on a working party formed by the Royal College of Surgeon to prepare for the Convention on Accident Prevention and Life Saving 1963. At the Convention held during Mayan excellent demonstration of First Aid was given by the apprentice of the Royal Army Medical Corps. In accordance with the practice of the Depot the apprentice take the examination of the St. John Ambulance Association and obtain First Aid Certificates a part of their training. The A ociation received a reque t from the Briti h Medical Association to consider an increa e in the fee paid to doctor cond ucting lecture on b.eh~lf of the A soci a tion. The As ociation agreed in principle, subject to SImIlar agreement by the Home Office and the Mini try of Health with regard to Civil Defence and ational Ho pitai Service Reserve Fir t Aid Courses. A survey of the finance of the A sociation wa carried out and it was deci~ed that in order to meet the ever-increa ing gap between expenditure and mcom.e the Headquarter fee (to be rede ignated Regi tration Fee) should be mcrea ed from 1 . 6d. per candidate to 3 . per candidate. This new scale came into force on 1 t September, 1963; its effect, therefore, has not yet become fully apparent. It i hoped, however, that it will enable the Association to relieve the Order of a fair part of the burden of the annual subvention, which it pays to maintain A ociation Headquarters. The ~~sociation was a ked by the Mini try of Health to co-operate in the t~alOtng of the general public in elementary fir t aid and nursing so that m case of emergency families would be enabled to care for themselve and t~eir neighbours until such time a help can be provided from the orgalllsed services. It was appreciated that many people have been trained through the Voluntary Aid Societies but for thi purpose imple training ~f t?e largest possible number of people is essential. Discussion continued unng the year and the help of the Societies wa sought in drafting a pamphlet which would be given to student who attend the course. The

Financially the Government a si ted, particularly in connection \ ith boy and girl . Cyprus. A committee of the As ociation was e tabli hed in Famagusta and also in Nico ia and both Committees have been taking steps to extend the work of the As ociation into all the rural areas within their districts. During the year two model of Re usci-Anne have been widely u ed for demon trations in conjunction with showing of film on Cardiac Resuscitation. During the year arrangement were made for two Cypriot subjects to attend the Ophthalmic Ho pital, Jeru alem, for treatment. In one case \ ith funds raised in Kyrenia and in the otber ca e with the help of Archbishop Makario . There was a mo t intere ting example of the value of fir t aid training when two men, overcome by fume at the bottom of a 60-ft. well, were revived by employee of the Hellenic Mining Company who had passed their first aid e amination only ten day before. First Aid Clas es have been continued at various school and gymnasia throughout the island and at the reque t of the Education Authorities Home ursing classe were arranged for student at the ur e ' Training School; the Greek Youth Council asked for help in pre enting a television programme on accidents in the home, for which demon trations were carried out by members of the Famagu ta Corp. In pite of political troubles classes of instruction continued and full appreciation of the value of Fir t Aid was shown by a number of organi ations and Government Departments. During the year the position in Ghana was maintained and interest in the work of the Association did not diminish one of the factors limiting progress was the need for greater resources. We were glad to hear that just before the end of the year it was possible to provide a car for the Organising Secretary and Training Officer. This will make for greater efficiency and enable them to expand their activities to all parts of the country. It was not possible to hold the Annual First Aid Competitions but it is hoped that these will be held in 1964. Plans exist for organisation and special classe during the coming year to cover hygiene, child welfare, and hygienic handling of food, as the National Council of Ghana Women is taking a keen interest in the activities of the Association. The Nigeria Police reported a successful year with sixty- even Fir t Aid classes being held. There were also four Lay Instructors' Courses, twentyseven persons passed for the first time, and eleven certificates were renewed. These Lay Lecturers are doing good work in developing the Association's training activities. The Hon M. A. O. Olarewaju, Minister of State for Nigerian Police Affairs visited the Southern Police Training College and was shown demonstrations in First Aid by the College First Aid Team. The Nigerian Railways report good progress and that the response for ~ew members to join classes was gratifying; apprentices who enter mdustry are now expected to enrol as members of the Association. During the year a ceremony was held to which members of the police

In .S~erra Leone negotiations with the authorities in the industrial area at Wlllwgton w~re completed but the workmen were unwilling to attend classes ~fter c10smg hour, 4.30 p.m., as a result classes have not been as regula.r III that ~r~a a had been hoped. The Ministry of Social Welfare orgamsed a traJDlng co u r ~ f?r Vol un.t ary Lecturers and the St. John Headqu.arter Officer was InVited to give talks and demonstrations on First Aid to the member . Fu rther a series of lectures on First Aid was given to men who attended the course for Administrative Officers during the m?nth of January and February; thi was uccessful and much apprecIated. In the arne month a talk was given to three hundred tudents of the Bo Government School on t~e. importance of First Aid. The boys were mo .t keen and expre ed a wlllmgness to be taught First Aid. There J a I~ck of ~ay Lecturer in Sierra Leone and this is being attended to WJth partlcular reference to the Police Force. The work of the A ociation in Kenya ha been handicapped by a shortage of Lectu.rer . and. development during the year was less than in the pa. t. Everything 1 bemg done to give the A ociation work greater PUbltClty and to enc?ura~e more people to give active support. In order to meet the pre ent It~a.tlOn a major recon truction of the administration was commenced and It ]s hoped that thi will show improved results in the future. The Suda~ Raih.mys co~tinued to organi e First Aid clas es during the y~ar an~ nmety- IX candl~ate \ ere e amined.

In Hong Kong there wer~ further ,increa e during t~e ear, the nUD?ber of certificates and awards 1 sued bemg 4,742. The certifica~es were gamed by Factory Workers, Teache~s, Po~ice, Bank Guard. , Pn on Staff a,nd members of the general public. This teady gro\ th 1 mo t .encouraglDg and shows how the Centre has been able to reach so many dlfferent parts of the community. Nineteen hundred and sixty-three was an eventful year ~n .Mal~ya with the inauguration of Malaysia in October and the As oCtatlOn .m Perak celebrating its Silver Jubilee in July, when H.H. Sulta~ O! Perak mspected a large parade and opened new exten ion to the ~ssoclatlOn Headquarters building. In the evening there was a ucces ful dmner follo\ ed by a dance for over a thousand guests and high officials, a cheque f?r 4,600 .was handed to His Highness. The number of a~ards and certlficates ga~ned was 5,030 compared with 3,739 for the prevlO~s year. For the fir t time, an Occupational First Aid Course was o~galllse~ and twenty members obtained certificates. A refresher course m nursmg was al 0 held and twenty-five nurses qualified as Lay Lecturers; further such refresher courses are planned. Regular classes were conducted for Lay Lecturers in Penang, Perak, Negri Sembilan, Mala~ca, Kelantan and Sela~gor. This will enable further courses to be organIsed for the rural populatlOns. It is reported that one of our members, while on hi way to Headquarters, saw the body of a girl being carried away by the current of a swollen river, at personal risk he swam to her and .broyght her unconscious body to the bank. He rendered Oral ResuscltatlOn and she was revived. This is the first time in Malaya that one of our members has saved a human life by this method of resuscitation. In Sabah the Association organised a special recruiting dr~ve an~ First Aid week activities throughout the State. Appeal for financIal assistance proved successful. This was particularly important as it enabled the Association to provide funds for the purchase of household goods for

twenty familie who}o t everythi.ng in floods in Tuaran, they were also assisted by a collectIon of clothlOg. In a landslide in Sandakan when two houses were destroyed and seven inhabitants killed, a child was rescued and revived by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After the disa trous floods in Sandakan further funds were given for the purchase of clothing and supplies for the flood victims. There was a succes ful competition and teams from Papar, Labuan, Sandakan and Jes elton competed for the First Aid Challenge Cup presented by the Counte s of Brecknock. Both cups were won by J esselton teams. In Fiji over 1,385 men, women and children were trained and examined by the As ociation. There were seven more classes than in the previous year and there were indications of the developing appreciation of the value of First Aid. Cour e are organi ed for the Armed Forces, the police, ew Zealand ir Force Fiji Airway, Schools, Colleges, Guides and Scout, and the general public. The South Pacific Games held in Suva were a very great occasion and the knowledge of Fir t Aid and ursing, di played to the fourteen territories represented received favourable comment from the injured, the officials and the spectator. The resu citation model toured many areas in Fiji and some 3,800 children mill worker police and army personnel, teacher , dock workers and villager were taught oral re u citation. Plans are now being made for the model to go to outlying i land and remote villages in 1964. Vi ual aids were introduced more and more at the various Association's classe and proved very popular. Some of the charts have been translated into the Fijian and Hindi language and talk were given on the local radio. The Order agreed to pre ent to Fiji a Land Rover to enable the Training Officer to get to more di tant parts of the island, it is hoped that this will arrive in Fiji in the early part of 1964. In Bahamas there \) a little training activity but recruitment has tarted again with the Police and men are undergoing training in First Aid. There was a demonstration in oral re u citation and tudent nurses in the hospital are now taught thi method. Bermuda howed a very con iderable increase in the number of Fir t Aid Certificate and awards gained, the grand total being 602 a compared with 375 in the previous year. Activitie in British Guiana continued in pite of difficult conditions and the number of certificate and awards gained wa greater than in the previous year. There were a good number of both Adult and Preliminary First Aid and ursing cour e and an encouraging number of people took the examination . In Jamaica the South-East Centre reported a very successful and encouraging year with 778 certificates and awards being gained a compared with 510 in the previous year. The certificate were presented at public function by leading member of the community and good support was received on the e occasions from pre , radio and television station . First Aid Courses were arranged for employee of companies, the re ponse w~s excellent and included employees from a Bauxite Company and an 011 Refinery. A are ult of the course a cIo ed divi ion of the Brigade was formed by the Bauxite Company, and there are high hopes of one being formed at the refinery.

The Police Centre continued the training of it own per onnel but also helped out ide by arranging lecture for a cl.a . of secondary and primary chool teachers in mouth-to-mouth re u CItatIOn. Throughout the year training continued for Lay Lecturer in Oral Re uscitation. The model Resu ci-Anne was u ed both at Headquarter and throughout the island. The figures for the year showed an increa e of more than 200 certificates and award compared with the previou year. The Jamaican Prison Department organi ed their Fir t Aid cour e and Lay Lecturer from the pri ons a i ted v ith training for other centres and organi ations. An encouraging number of members took re-e amination in Fir t Aid. In Grenada circulars were ent to many people throughout the island who were considered to be likely to be candidate for membership and the Chairman of the A sociation at the invitation of the Principal of Presentation College addressed the audience on the occa ion of the Annual Speech Day of the College. The response so far ha been fair but more is hoped for. In St. Vincent training continued and .five candidates received their certificates after pas ing the Lay Lecturer examination. This will greatly help the expan ion of training in the future. In Trinidad and Tobago the position was able to be maintained and a good number of First Aid certificates were gained through the year. A special item of interest was the number of candidate who took reexaminations in Advanced Nursing. Lay Lecturers have had another good year of training. Classes were organi ed at a Boy Industrial School and a Mothers' Club took a course in Home Nur ing. As a re ult of training received from the Association, Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade were formed in the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission and also in the Prisons Department. TRA SLATIO S

The Royal National Institute for the Blind has published a translation of the Association's Preliminary Manual of Home Nursing. They have also prepared a translation of the Preliminary Manual of Child Care. This has not yet been published but will appear if there are sufficient orders. We much appreciate the co-operation of the Royal National Institute of the Blind in this matter. 'Vork has proceeded on the Sinhalese translation of the First Aid Manual and blocks were lent to the Centre by the Stores Department. Publication is expected early in 1964. A Zulu translation was duplicated at Pietermaritzburg for local use. A translation of the First Aid Manual was prepared in Malay and it is hoped it will be published in 1964. APPOINTMENTS

Dr. J. S. McLintock, Deputy Principal Medical Officer, resigned his office in October 1963. In this capacity he gave valuable service to the Association and carried a considerable burden during the illness of Dr. White Knox but regretted his inability to take over the post of Principal Medical Officer.

Without their help it would be impo sible for the A sociatio n to provide a comprehensive ervice and to meet the growing need of industry for trained First Aid men and women. I would like to conv y to the Doctor and Nurse, who lectured and examined, and to the Lay In tructors and Demonstrators who hare with them the important work of teaching Fir t Aid and Home Nursing, OUr deep appreciation for their upport and valuable work. We also much appreciate the upport and help of the County Directors Centre Secretarie and Committee and the Cta Secretarie who provid~ the organisation which make the training possible. In so many of the reports we have received both from England and Overseas there i reference to the help given to the Association by men and women in a great variety of ways.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE l"OMMISSJO ER-IN- UJEF'S REPORT ON TIlE BR1GADE AT HOMb

"We live in deeds not years ." (Philip James Bailey) This quotation from a 19th century poet makes, J feel, an appropriate introduction to my report for 1963. In the Brigade it is our service to the public, ~ith it achievements, .succe ses and problems, that matter. The completIOn of one more ~ear In so long a hIstory, is of itself relatively unimportant. What I belIeve we can report, is that our service to the public has be~n maintained, and our p~oblems have been tackled with vigour; sometImes doubtle we have faded, but at least it has not been for lack of energy or enthu iasm on the part of those concerned. As, unfortunately, mu t be expected in an organisation the size of the Brigade, we 10 e each year through death a few of those stalwarts who have done so much for us over the year. Since, however details of their devoted and inval uable ervice have already been record~d in the Review and elsewhel:e, only mention of our ad loss is made here. In 1963 they included: MI Margaret McClaren, Superintendent-in-Chief of Canada' Colonel Sir Jame leeman, a former Chief-Commissioner Overseas ~ Mr. H. Langley Jone Commi ioner and later County President Hert~ fordshire; and Mr. H. J. Wrigglesworth, a former Brigade Secret~ry and afterward Manager of the Stores Department. TRE GTH

A TIO

The many dutie carried out on occa. ions when member. of the Royal family are present are always. a partIcular ource of pnde. One such occasion particularly notable 111 1.963 wa a Roya.l .Garden . ~arty ~t Buckinaham Palace when Her MaJe ty the Queen VI Iled the First Aid Post whilst it wa being et up and pent orne time talkipg to the members on duty. The Brigade wa pre ent in st.rength for 'prJn~e Ale andra's \ edding and a her mother, H.R.H. Pnnee Manna, 1 S:0mmandantin-Chief for Wale Brigade member from Wale a 1 ted London District and other countie involved in the d utie . The severe weather in the early part of the year led to many e tra calls on the Brigade and perhap e pecially in the We t C~u. ntry. These involved taking ambulances th~ough evere ~~ow condilion to. the occupant of car tranded in dnft and al 0 VI ItS to p~ople e pec~ally old people cut off in their hou es. In Somerset .h~lp wa glve~ to ho pltals where owing to roads being blocked taff hV111g some dl tance away were unable to report for duty. A happier a pect of the weather was found on Box Hill in Surrey where during everal weekend a many as three thousand winter port enthusia t gathered to ki. Needle to ay this unusual activity for Surrey neces itated and received ir t Aid cover. A new type of routine duty wher~ winte~ po~t are ~once:n.ed comes from the need to provide cover at Ice katll1g nnks. ThiS actlVlty is responsible for a proportionately higher number of casualtie in relation to most other sports. The Air Attendant Scheme continues to be to the fore, and during 1963 many requests were received and met. The dutie were a alway, .of particular interest and included journeys to or from Am. te:dam Mad.nd, Kuwait Hamburg, Paris and Warsaw as well a withIn the U l11ted Kingd~m. The patients escorted were of many nationalitie, everal did not speak English-just another of the problem to be overcome. A somewhat unexpected feature on one flight wa the insistence of an A~ab husband that his sick wife should have her yashmak put on before bell1g taken off the plane. It might also be mentioned, whil t speaki ng of ai.rcraft, that the Airport Division in Guern ey attended 109 case at the al rport. Attendance at race meetings, whether on the fiat National Hunt or Point-to-Point, tend to be looked on as a matter of routine, a are the duties for the many other sporting events and entertainment of all types. It may, however, be of interest to record in so far as horse racing i concerned, that over 80 % of the larger courses are covered in England,. and including Point-to-Point meetings, well over two thousand ca es (nders and spectators) treated last year. . Tulip time in Lincolnshire might not be thought to be an occasl~n necessitating First Aid, yet during the three weeks when tUlips are m bloom and being picked, seventeen additional weekend First Aid centres have to be set up.

In the Channell land rescue and other work by marine ambulances are con tantly taking place and instance of gallantry by the crews are almo t commonplace. Flying Christine II, the new launch in Guernsey, is being put into commi ion in J964. As in previous year, Agricultural and Sporling Shows called for a large ef\ort i~ counti~. Freque~t1y. these dut!e. were undertakeJ? in conjunction With our Iter organl at1On, the Bntl h Red Cross SOCIety. The Royal how in ] 963 opened at it new and permanent home in Stoneleigh Park, Warwick hire, where the cover was al 0 jointly provided by the B. R.S: .. and our e.'ve . Other event. in. ~ountie ~hich might be briefly mentIOned a they Illustrate the multipliCIty of duties covered by the Brigade were: The Bath and We t how Somerset· Liverpool Show; Three Counties Show at Malvern, for which the cover wa provided by Glouce tershire, Hereford hire and Worce ter hire; The May Fair Herefordshire; The Royal Cornwall how· The Nottingham Goose Fair; The Hull Fair in the East Riding and the County Agricultural Show, orthamptonshire. Sporting event covered included Silver tone by the Brigade in orthampton hire and Buckingham hire and Henley by the Jatter by the Brigade in Buckingham hire and 50-mile Marches sponsored by the Press for the general public in Kent and Cornwall. During these marches 2,000 cases were treated in Kent and 80 and 300 re pectively for the two marches in Cornwall. It i intere ting to note that Sergeant Taylor, aged 54 years, of the Falmouth mbulance and ur ing Divi ion, carried out the econd of the 50-mile marche in Corn\\all, treated ca ualtie on the way but him elf ended up free from bli ter and far from requiring first aid. otable ervice cca ion covered were Navy Week in Plymouth; the Sovereign' Parade at the Royal Mijitary cademy, Sandhurst; and the R.A.F. di play at orth Weald, E ex. The Miner' Gala at Parr in Lanca hire attended by ] 0000 miner was al 0 provided with Fir t id cover a wa the annual Lancashire Wakes Week with it many proce ion. In Surrey e cort \\-ere provided for children being taken from the Lingfield Ho pital chool to their home in Devon. The York hire/ Lille Exchange Committee al 0 \\a again provided with e cort for eight train by London Di trict Kent and the We t Riding of York hir~ for this annual e change cheme for French and Engli h choo1children. From] 9th-21 t J LIly the Brigade in Su sex were in attendance at the Chief Scout' Rally at ock bridge for Scout and Cub and at which 9,000 were pre ent on the Saturday. One hundred and fifty-two cases needed fir t aid attention. The ucce of the BeatIe ha involved the Brigade in many additional duties. Wherever they go the cru h of the enormou crowds invariably result in ca ualtie . In Lanca hire, for example, 157 casualtie were attended and the picture wa much the arne in Cumberland London, Warwick hire, Hamp hire, Leice ter, Bri tol and no doubt in many other places. As the year ended it will be remembered, the Lakonia was lost at sea. Su:vivors were brought back to thi country by ea and air, and the Bngade wa called upon to meet and a i t them. The fog, which unfortynately coincided with their return made the organisation of the e duties especially difficult, ince aircraft \ ere diverted at short notice

1964. Finding the additional money required for the premiums puts yet another strain on County and Divisional finances, but it was considered essential that our member houJd be adeq uately covered against accident while on duty, and assured benefits in keeping with the present cost of living. On the be~t a.dvice, therefore, it was decided that this increased expenditure wa JU tJilable. An e entiaJ need for a ucce ful unit is a uitable H.Q. whether it is at County or Divi ional level. Money is all too often a real obstacle to obtaining and maintaining these. Nonetheless, new Headquarters continue to be obtained, and we are appreciative that in a number of cases help ba come fro~ local authorities, and for Cadet Divisions from the Ministry of EducatIOn. Liaison with the Johanniter-UnfaJl-Hilfe, the Brigade's equivalent in Western Germany, has contin ued and thi Ja t year when their teams were here for the Ca ualtie Union competition, London District were able to offer them ome ho pitality. umerou meetings and outings took place, which eem to have been much enjoyed by both sides. There has also been contact in Germany where one or two Brigade member have been in touch with local Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe units. A somewhat unusual activity which after con ultation at H.Q., involved members in Buckinghamshire and Berk hire, was the making of an entertainment film. rom time to time members appear on Television, in training fil m and on occa ion the Brigade uniform is seen in news and other film. In fact both the Surgeon-in-Chief and his Deputy spoke on i1' t Aid on televi ion. Thi particular film however, wa a full length comedy u ing a Brigade etting. It wa called "A Stitch in Time," and tarred orman Wi dom. Helping to make it proved an intere ting e perience for tho e involved and tbe film company were rna t punctiliou in a king for advice where our work was concerned. They did all they could within a background of broad comedy to en ure that nothing wa included which might damage the reputation of the Brigade. For e ample the need for qualification in Fir t Aid before being allowed to wear Brigade uniform wa several times stre ed. 1 would like to add that not only were the company generous at the time for uch a i tance as tbey received but on the film being relea ed Mrs. John Davi the wife of the chairman of the Rank Organi ation, organised a highly ucce ful "Premiere," the expense of which were borne by tbe Rank Organisation and re ulted in the Brigade benefiting very considerably. We are mo t grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Davi for this further example of their upport for and int re t in the \ ork of St. John. AWARDS A D

It I hoped at some future date that thi problem will be overcome. INSPECTIO SAD ViSITS

Inspections in nineteen counties were car~ied out and vi it to tvyenty other Districts and counties made by SenlOr Officer together WIth a number of other visits to training conference and the like. Keeping touch is one of the problems of a voluntary organisation the size of the Brigade, but as much a po sible is done by mean of these inspections and visits, and as will be seen from the above figures, the majority of counties were all visited in 1963. I would like to stress here how much value we at Headquarter set on these visit, and on be!ng able thereby to see the Brigade as units and individ uals and to gettlllg closer to the work being done in the various counties. ot least encouraging is the welcome so kindly given. Visits from Brigade Headquarters cover a wide variety of events, from formal County Inspection attended by distinguished gue t fr?ID the county to attendance at local conferences, training day, watcblDg competitions and conducting Cadet enrolment ceremonies- the latt.er chiefly by Colonel Goring. They also included in 1963 visit to the Mobtle Column Exercise in Essex which is designed to practice emergen~y measures in a competition setting for a trophy presented by the late ~lr Paul Booth. Such exercises do much to bring emergency schemes to hfe and test them, and I recommend something of this nature to all Districts and counties. It is essential in the Brigade to have plans in each county ready to meet major disasters ranging from floods and explosions to

train cra he, hipwreck or aircraft accidents, and equally important that everyone should be rehear ed as far as possible in the role they wo uld have to play. Another eries of interesting visits were to the ast Midlands Area National Coal Board Camps at Rhyl and Skegness, for employees in their Brigade Divi ion and their Cadets. These weekend camps help greatly in encouraging the work of the Brigade in the e Divisions, and we are gratefu l to ~h.e ational Coal Board for making them possible. Those of us who VI lted the camp are also most appreciative of the hospitality we recei ved . October saw the main celebrations of the Diamond 1 ubilee of the Brigade in Eire to which the Superintendent-in-Chief, myself and the Surgeon-in-Chief who a already mentioned, judged the Otto Lund Competition held at that time, were invited. This was, indeed, a great occasion we \ ere privileged to attend and which allowed u , we like to feel, to cement even further the links between the Brigade in Eire and ourselve . On leaving Eire I pent a few day in Northern Ireland. It was my first visit to the Brigade there and fortunately coincided with the Fe tival of St. 10hn. Pi-ior to the church ervice I carried out an inspection of the units pre ent for the occa ion. Vi it to Ballymena and Belfast gave me the opportunity of meeting a number of officer and members and seeing something of the work the Brigade i doing. I have al 0 had the plea ure of attending two functions in Wales. The first of the e wa the Priory Fe tival at the time of St. 10hn's D ay, when I wa honoured by being invited to peak to Chapter and also to A embly. The other \\a an excellently run Training Weekend at Barry which for me and the Deputy Commis ioner-in-Chief who also attended, was both profitable and enjoyable. We saw much of interest which with the concurrence of the Chief ommi ioner we have passed on to the Brigade el ewhere.

1963 \ a the year for the biennial Pre ident ' Conference, which was held in ehel ea TO\ n Hall in ovember.

The conference wa not only valuable but T believe, lively and enjoyable a lso: certainly we at Headquarters thought so. We are 1110 t grateful to our Pre idents and VicePresidents for their upport to the Brigade and in particular would like to thank tho e who found time to attend the conference for the constructive idea and advice put forward during the di cu ion . . In addition the u ual annual conferences were all held and a always, dl~ much toward providing guidance on the cour e to be followed in Brigade matter.

During the year efforts have been made to empha ise the greater importance of the practical rather than the theoretical ide of the work of the Brigade, in routine training, in examinations and in competitions. The necessity of adequate equipment e pecially for Nur ing Divisions has been stressed. Interest in Resuscitation has continued, and many call have been made on the Department for lecture and demonstrations' my copy of "The Pulse of Life" has been lent to many counties; the benefits of the intensive training in this subject are clear from the large number of cases reported in which the new method has been successfully applied. The Annual Surgeons' Conference was held at Buxton: though the attendance was lower than I could wisb, valuable ideas were forthcoming. During tbe year the policy of visiting counties to meet Brigade Surgeons and members was continued and my Deputy or T visited some nineteen between us. I am particularly grateful to tbose Surgeons who came to these meetings and to all Brigade Surgeons for all their work during the year. I am also indebted to my Deputy, Dr. Scott, for hi ever ready practical help and advice, bis knowledge and experience are invaluable.

CIVIL DEFENCE

In the changing pattern of Civil Defence there remains the difficult problem of maintaining public interest, but it i still the Brigade's policy to upport thi activity of citizenship. The Home Office has continued to allot us vacancies on short Senior Officer ourses at the Civil Defence Staff College, which have been most valuable in building up thi ide of the Brigade' work. In addition, a one-day Cour e at the Civil Defence StafT College, Sunningdale, entirely devoted to the Brigade took place on 26th January, 1963. Despite extremely bad weather, eighty members of the Brigade from all over the country attended an intere ting and instructive day. ADETS

The Annual Rally in 1963 took place at Cheltenham on 13th July. Again we were honoured in having H.R.H . Princess Margaret to take thi ; during the afternoon he inspected the three thousand Cadets on parade and conducted an Enrolment Ceremony. The intere t and vitality of St. John Cadet continue to be a source of encouragement to u all and a ha often been stressed, if an organisation is not to tagnate it need the enthu iastic influence of the young. The help of Cadet to the ick, handicapped or elderly has shown a remarkable degree of voluntary ervice. Moreover, undoubtedly a trong sense of re pon ibility prevail in Cadet Divi ion on which both Officers and Cadet are to be congratulated. Cadets have al 0 been prominent in as i ting ad:J1t member on public duties within the limit imposed by the Brigade. On many other occa ions, during the ordinary course of their day-to-day life they have helped tho e in immediate need. In the field of courage, rescue from drowning, effective fir t aid and presence of mind have frequently been di played uch a , to mention only a few, by Cadet Raymo nd Thomp on of Londonderry, who climbed, at great personal 1'i k to him clr, dmvn a forty-foot clifT to go to the rescue of another boy who had fallen down and uffered severe injuries; by Cadet Sergeant J. Parker or Peterborough \ ho re cued a young girl who had got into diflkultie \vhil t wimming and ub equently applied artificial re piration; and over ea by Cadet Alva de Freita in Grenada who succes fully carried out an almo t identical re cue. To the e are coupled numerOL! case of succe ful fir t aid in emergency, where good training and cool head have been of great value. Cadet activitie are not, ho\ ever, only confined to first aid work. Adventure training and camping have an important place in the Divisional programme and are largely based on:(0) The Brigade Camp at Be hill which wa attended by 1,049 camper between 20th July and 24th August; once more an increase on the previous year. Forty-five Camping Warrants and 4 Quarterrna tering Certificate were i ued- again an appreciable increa e. In addition most countie al 0 run Cadet Camps which are well attended.

In concluding my report for 1962, 1 outlined three aims for which I considered we hould strive, viz:(a) The maintenance of tandards. (b) Reinforcement with young member. (c) lrong link '"\,,ith the A ociation. The re pon e to the e ha everywhere been mo t gratifying. I believe, however that the e aim are till relevant, and I am asking the Brigade to continue to give them it attention. During the year we at Headquarter have taken a a theme for conference and addre ses "Looking Ahead. ' Thi i really a broadening of the econd aim but it importance, I feel, merit mpha i in thi \ ay ince it indicate the outlook e sential for effective carrying out of dutie training, recruiting organi ation, admini tration and recreation- in fact, everything we do and are. Thi need for looking ahead, [am ure i e ential if \ e are to be in line with, or preferably a jump ahead of the tempo and change of modern time. It i only v\lth uch an outlook that the Brigade' future will be en ured and thereby our vital ervic to the community maintained at the level of the tradition and tandard of the pa t. 1 tarted thi report by quoting that we live in deed not year, and I submit the Brigade deeds peak for them elv . I include in the e all aspect of our work although I would e pecially like to draw attention to our welfare work, \ hich i ometi me overlooked by tho e sections of the public who only a ociate u with fir t aid and nur ing. I would like to end by thanking publicly all Officer and Member, both adult and cadet in \ hatever country or capacity they erve, for these deed. Their devoted ervice ha yet again been omething to be wondered at, and the way they are tackling the problem resulting from the stres e of thi day and age i equally to be admired. It i al 0 elfevident that my continuing than k go to the Superintendent-in-Chief and Surgeon-in-Chief who e experience and knowledge are of such great value. Space doe not permit me year by year to refer to everybody but, of Course, the field of my gratitude extend to key member such a the Deputy Commis ioner-in-Chief, Lieut.-Colonel Arthur Goring, A istant Commi sioner-in-Chief, for his leader hip in the Cadet field and King George VI Course, and my Chief Staff Officer who e as i tance ha left me far freer than would otherwise have been po ible for moving about

the country and over ea . I would al 0 like to thank the Editor and Staff of the Rel'iell for the tr uble they take in reporting the Brigade' activities' the Brigade ha hown it appr ciation by increa ing the number of it~ ubscriber to thi e 'cellent magazine and I hope thi trend wilt continue. Finally, as will have been een, it ha been decided to de cribe overseas matters in a eparate chapter. Thi make for ea ier reference to the various items covered by the report, which wa the rea on for the change. At the ame time I want to make clear that although I have de cribed el ewhere the work of the Brigade Over ea the division i purely for editorial rea on . The Brigade i one Brigade wherever it erve and we are all deeply consciou and proud of that fact. ROYER DICK, Commissioner-in-Chie(

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE COMMISSION R-IN- HIEF'S REPORT ON OVERS AS TERRITORIeS GE ERAL

The Brigade ha continued to make progress in almost all Districts Oversea, and it i perhap of particular note that with the advent of Independence in so many countries interest in our work has in no way declined anywhere. It is encouraging al 0 that in many new places greater support is now being given to the Cadet movement. Divisions are being formed in schools and masters and mistresses are giving their help. H EA DQUARTERS OFFICERS

Excellent work continue to be carried out by our Headquarters Officer in Cypru the Caribbean, Nigeria, Sabah and Sierra Leone. The first two have, of course, been facing emergencies in their areas most satisfactorily. This year a tart ha been made in implementing the policy of finding Headquarter Officer from the countrie in which they are to work rather than ending people [rom here. The advantages of this system are obvious and we hope that we shall be able to extend it to many parts of the world in the near future. The fir t of these officer was Mr. David Aguda H.Q. Staff Officer of Uganda who pent orne tv 0 months in England on a British Council bursary, vi iting Headquarter and ob erving our procedures and administrative method . Thi opportunity of getting to know each other was greatly to our advantage and, we hope, al 0 his. We are hoping to extend the sy tem next year with the vi it of Mr. Igbe H.Q. Officer designate for Nigeria. MERGE CIES

(a) CARIBBEA . The year wa notable for deva tating hurricanes in the Caribbean. Thi wa made wor e by the fact that unlike in normal years, the path of the torm followed unexpected directions. Although considerable damage wa done in a number of i lands, much the wor t incident occurred when hurricane "Flora" struck Tobago without warning early one morning in October. The emergency team in Trinidad was quickly alerted and transported to Tobago to tart work. Thi team of twenty-five members was led by Mrs. Davie-Smith, the Headquarters Officer, Mr. A. H. Matthews, Area Commis ioner, and Dr. Crichlow Corp Surgeon. Brigade members in Tobago under the Corp uperintendent, Mr. Alleyne, joined the team and everyone did terling \: ork in setting up Fir t Aid Posts and caring for the people who had 10 t their home. Over 3 000 cases were dealt with by emergency teams. (b) CYPRUS. Miss Irene Checkley, M.B .E., our Headquarters Officer,

and her Red Cros counterpart, Mis Shelagh Pater on, spent a weary and alarming Chri tmas during the initial troubles in the Island, organising relief for refugee, treating the sick and suffering, and tracing the mis ing. Due to their ability, hard work and popularity, the e two young ladies were accepted by all c1asse and all communities. They were thus able to

Independence Celebrations in Zanzibar and Kenya prod uced enormous crowds, particularly in the latter place where it was e timated nearly half a million people assembled at the Stadium in Nairobi alone. St. John teams ably led and directed by the Commissioner were on duty almost continuously for the three days of the celebrations and had to take part in all manner of unusual duties including no Ie s than four case ch~ld birth. In both countries, most appreciative letters of congratulatlOll

The Surgeon-in-Chief paid a privat vi it during the year to Au tralia and New Zealand. On the way he vi ited Hong Kong Singapore and Malaya and during the return journey, Fiji. t each place he wa warmly welcomed and returned full of enthu iasm [or the Oversea Di trict he had vi ited. In February and March 1964 I vi ited the Brigade in the Caribb an area. Chronologically thi vi it was OLit ide the period covered by the 1~63 report, but I feel ince it took place in time for thi report that it w1l1, a in the ca e of our work in Cypru be of greater intere t to mention it now rather than hold it over for another twelve month. This tour took place from mid-January to March and the following place were vi ited: B rmuda Trinidad and Tobago, Briti h Guiana, G:enada, Barbado, t.

number of maIler H.Q. were al 0 vi ited in the i land and the opportunity \ a taken of the vi it to draw attention to St. John work by means of a number of TV. interviews and broadca t a well a through press channel. There are pread through the Caribbean ome 11 000 Brigade memb.ers and it i mo t ati factory to report that the name of ~.! ohn . tands high both for the work done by the Brigade and the tratntng glven to the Police Fire and other public ervice by ociation and Brigade. Virtually'the whole Police Force in the Caribb~an hold St. John ~ciation Certificates, many being members of the Bng~de.

Th~re are promi ing ign of e pan ion, notably ~n the fonnat.lOn of Cadet umts .

The need for uitable Headquarters and the co t of equipment and un!form in Territories where individual are not well off pre ent a con lderable problem but St. John Council and Committee are tackling the e matter. The Brigade has good reason to be proud of. it Caribbe~n arm, if ?ne may put it that way, and I am glad to u e thl opportumt1 of pubhcly congratulating all tho e in that part of the world who are dOIng 0 much. The Superintendent-in-Chief visited briefly Gibraltar and Malta and is away at the time of writing on a tour of Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. CO CLUSIO

We are always trying to think of way here to simplify our administration and so to a sist Oversea Di trict to e pand into rural area and other parts where our teaching may be unknown, but i none the Ie vitally required. I have recently instituted an enquiry through the Over eas Department into methods that might make such progre s ea ier and I am glad to say that not only has some advance been made but many excellent suggestions have been received from overseas. These, however, are steps primarily for the future. I think I can best sum up 1963 by saying that Oversea performance and progress has been encouraging and I would like to record my thank to all Brigade members overseas for making this so . We at Headquarter have seen something of the Brigade's work overseas during our vi its, and few though these may seem in relation to the area covered by the Brigade, they have given us a good picture of what goes on. I feel therefore, in congratulating the Brigade Overseas on its work that I do 0 with firsthand knowledge, since even with those places we regrettably have not so far managed to visit we keep close touch. Finally, I would like to thank Colonel Benyon and his staff in the Over eas Department for all they have done during the year. They require, I know, no thank from me as theirs is a labour of love. Their reward is perhaps in the many expressions of goodwill sent to them through us who have had the actual good fortune to make these overseas visits and tours. ROYER DICK, Commissioner-in-ChieJ.

SUPERINT .; NDENT-IN-CHIEF'S REPORT, 1963 Throughout the pas t year the Nursing Corps and Divisions fully maintained their traditional high ta ndard of service to those in need and I welcome thi opportunity of paying tribute to their valuable and devoted work and of thanking them. Whether the need aro se through accident, emergency or the long-term care required in ca es of illness and di sablement, the nur ing per onnel continued elflessly to meet the many demands made upon them . Much a ttention, too , has been given at every level to the practical training which even for experienced member is vital in keeping method and kill up to date and at a high standard of efficiency. In my la t report 1 referred to the Mini ter of Health' s appeal for the greater u e of voluntary help in hospitals and in Local uthority health and welfare ervice. The development of thi clo er integration of the statutory and voluntary ervice in the Ten Yea r Plan must inevitably be a gradual proce but one in which the Briga de can make an increasing contribution, perhap particula rly in local community care, and it is sati factory to report th a t thi development ha been actively pur ued in some areas.

FIRST AID,

URSI GAD WELFARE. The recorded figures of

voluntary hour of duty undertaken impre ive though these are, give but a partial picture of the ervice rendered. The toll of accidents in the home on the road and at work entail emergency fir t aid action and many uch ca e have been dealt 'v\ ith in the pa t year in addition to attendance at fir t aid public dutie. ur ing member played their part during Chri tma 'v\ ek in meeting urvivor from the liner Lakonia. Much appreciated ervice have been given by nur ing personnel on tran port and e cort journey with invalid and the infirm, including Air Attendant dutie. uxiliary nur ing a i tance continue to be given in ho pital clinic and home f r the old and chronic ick and locally under the Di trict ur e. tra help ha been given to ho pitals at time of special need for in tance during the Intern a tional Paraplegic Games at Stoke Mandeville and el ewhere at time of epidemics. E tensive welfare and neighbourly ervice were provided to ick, di abled and infirm people in their own home, including the provi ion of equipment from Medical Comfort Depot and during the hard 'v inter months many cases of pecial need',: ere cared for. Both individually and in conjunction with exi ting tatutory and voluntary ervice member have given much help to homebound elderly, infirm and handicapped people, and at day centre club recreational outing and holiday centre that provide relaxation for tho e who otherwi e lead adly re tricted live.

NATIO AL HOSPITAL SERVICE RESERVE. Con iderable work continue to be undertaken with and for the ational Ho pital Service Re erve for which, with the B.R.C.S. the Brigade undertake the recruitment and initial training of nur ing au iliarie . The Chief ur ing Officer reports continued progre in enrolment and that 26 500 St. John Auxiliaries were recorded on the Mini try of Health September return, of Whom 21,384 were women and 5 116 men. Of the total number appro imately two-fifth were full Brigade member the remainder being attached to St. John. In addition to auxiliary nur ing ervice in ho pital many members are in the .H .S.R.

I SPECTIO SAD VISITS. It wa a great plea ure to be at the Cadet Rally at Cheltenham, which wa honoured by the pre ence of H.R.H. Prince Margar t. I was very glad to carry out In pcction in the countie of Berk hire, Dor et, the North Riding of York hire, and Devon (Nur ing p ronnel), during which vi it I al 0 attended the Jubilee Celebrations of the Torquay Nur ing Divi ion. The Commi ionerin-Chief and I had a very plea ant vi it to Dublin when we attended the Sir Otto Lund Trophy Competition, and th Southern Ireland Brigade's Diamond Jubilee, and Mi Overend' Golden Jubilee celebration. My visit to Gibraltar and Malta \ ere unfortunately brief but it wa e ' tremely intere ting to learn at first hand of the good work being done and in Malta to in pect an excellent parade. At inspection in the following countie the Chief N ur ing Officer and members of my staff accompanied the Commi ioner-in-Chief or the Surgeon-in-Chief: Bedford hire (Mis Duff Grant), Northumberland and Buckinghamshire (Lady Braithwaite), Cambridge hire and the East Riding of Yorkshire (Miss Wat on), Birmingham and Leice tershire (Mi s Baird). With the Deputy Commi ioner-in-Chief, Mi Watson, attended the opening of the new Stafford hire County Headquarter. The Chief Nursing Officer attended the ational Coal Board Camp for Nursing Member at Rhyl and visited Dublin to judge the Overend Cup Home Nursing Team Test for the S.J.A.B. Southern Ireland.

HONOURS. Mrs. J. Cumming Bell, District Staff Officer Cadet ( ), West Riding of York hire, Miss E. M. Trill, County Staff Officer Cadet (N), Sussex and Miss T. Checkley, Headquarters Officer in Cypru were awarded the M.B.E. in recognition of their excellent ervices.

Once again my most sincere thanks go out to all my District/County

REPORT OF 1 HE CHAP rER-GENERAL

REPORT OF THE ALMONER The Joint Committee of the Order of st. John and the British Red Cro Society publi h annually a report which des~ribes in d.etail the activitie the parent bodie have delegated to the JOint <;:ommittee, the tate of the Committee' finance, and the e tent to whIch the co t of the year' work ha encroached upon the fund, ?riginally £6·i J?1illion \ hich was allocated for the e purpo e by the J 0111t War Orgamsation at the end of the la t war. The late t Report and Statement of Account for 1962/ 63, how that the main item of expenditure, £145,763, wa in re pect of the Committee's primary obligation, the care of the War Di abled. Sub .tantial un: were also spent on the care of nurses and of elderly and sIck ex-ServIcemen \ ho are not nece arily war di abled. The Committee' Ambulance and Hospital Library work within the National Health Service i largely selfupporting. The total net cost of all activitie la t year wa £86,695, and this figure reduced the balance of the Capital Fund to ju t over £3 million. The Joint Committee s programme of work for the war di abled is designed to cover the e timated need of war-pensioners t? the end of their lives, and already over £4,000,000 has been pent mce the termination of the la t war in alleviating the distre s of those physically handicapped becau e of war service. Thi expenditure ha been mainly di bursed by the headquarters and County Officer of the ex-Services War Disabled Help Department, \ hich in the past year received and dealt with some 50,000 applications for help and advice. Of the e, some 16,000 called for financial assi tance and nearly £80000 was expended in meeting needs which lay outside the cope of State a istance. For example, war pensioners have been helped with the cost of motor vehicles for travel to and from work, and with the financial mean to provide homes with those amenities which enable the handicapped to live a more normal life. Financial help has been given to clear out tanding debt and commitments, where undermined health and impaired working capacity have resulted in loss of teady employment. Clothing convale cence, and, in particular, the special needs of old age are among other objects on which help has been provided to ea e the lot of the disabled. For some, war disablement has meant a withdrawal, in part, from society and for these the Joint Committee contributed sub tantial capital sums in the past to build specially designed model Settlements. Examples are those for Paraplegics at Lyme Green, Cheshire, and Kyte in Hertfordshire, the Barrowmore Village Settlement near Chester, and the Settlement for severely disabled ex-Servicemen at orwich. All these institutions, administered by local St. John and Red Cro Committees, are recognised by the Joint Committee and receive financial support when necessary. Brighton Convalescent Hospital for ex-Officers, and Scio House, a residential home for 25 elderly and infirm ex-officers continue to be maintained by the Joint Committee. An extension to the latter of ten single bedded rooms was opened in October last by Earl Mountbatten of Burma. As a tribute to the service of the Nursing Profession in two world wars the Joint Committee maintain two Homes which provide some 60 retired nurses with a permanent home where they may live out the closing years

or their

live in pleasant surroundings. Other elderly nurses, having war service, are given weekly grant to supplement their income. The Joint ommiltee Ho pital Library service continues to provide book for patients in ome 90,000 beds throughout England and Wales. Micro-film book and electric page turner are issued to enable the very severely di abled to enjoy the con olation of reading. The Library service of the Joint Committee i extended free to soldiers, ailors and airmen in Service ho pital to war pen ioners, and to St. John and Red Cross in titution , and the cost of this work is met out of Joint Committee funds. ] n all orne 3i million book are distributed each year. The Ambulance Department in the year ended 30th June, 1963, was respon ible for the tran fer of 32,000 patients for the London County Coun'cil within the National Health Service, involving an aggregate mileage of 440,000 . J n addition, many per on were carried privately, who for one reason or another were not qualified to use the National Health Ambulance Service, and drawings were made upon a Samaritan Fund to meet the cost of ambulance tran port in cases where financial hard hip would otherwi e arise.

E. Edmonds. Vi itor to St. John' Gate and Church in 1963 totalled 1,984, a substantial increa e on the tolal for] 962. It is apparent that St. John's Gate is now securing a d finite place in guide books, which probably account for this increa e. Certainly more and more out ider are discovering our existence. Among di tingui hed vi itor was the Grand Chancellor of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, H. E. Don Enzo di Napoli, Prince of Resuttano who repre ented the Grand Ma ter at the igning of the Declaration of recognition between the Mo t Venerable Order and the Sovereign Order in November at the Gate. He wa accompanied by Dr. Filippo Spada and member of the Briti h sociation. Signed copies of the Declaration itself, both in EngJi h and Italian, are on view in the Library. In the previous July we were honoured by the vi it of Prince Wilhelm Carl of Prussia, Herrenmei ter of the Johanniter-Orden. In spite of numerous interruptions the cataloguing of the many pamphlets, photograph and documents which find their way to the Library has still continued. This and the conducting of visitors around the buildings have been really the main activities of the Library department throughout the year. THER

THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOH

The fe tival of St. John \ hich wa held thi year on Wedne day, 26th June, in Aberdeen commenced with the Celebration of Holy Communion in Gr yfriar Church, followed by the Annual Commemoration Service. The Rev. Dr. L. L. L. Cameron, O.B. ., O.St.J. D.D., J.P., conducted the ervice. At the conclu ion of the morning' proceeding, Member of PrioryChapter were ent rtained to luncheon by the Lord Provo t and Magitrate of Aberdeen. In the afternoon the General A embly and Tnve titure was held in the Town and County Hall. Ov ing to the unavoidable ab ence through illnes of Lieut-Colonel Sir Hugh S. Turn bull, K.C.V.O. K. B. ., Prior of Scotland Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harv y of Dinnet, K . . M.G., the Preceptor of Torphichen, welcomed member and gue t and invested Po tulants with the In ignia of their Grade. Member and guest were entertained to afternoon tea at the conclu ion of the A embly and Inve titure. A Reception and Dance, given by the Lord Provo t and Magistrates of Aberdeen, was held in the Beach Ballroom. Thi proved to be a most enjoyable function and a fitting end to one of our rno t ucce sful Festivals. THE GLASGOW CO lMlTTEE OF THE PRIORY

During the year under review the result of the work of the Gla gow Committee have been most encouraging. The out tanding event of the year was the Official Opening and Dedication of the new St. John Re idential Home in Gla gow on 3rd May, 1963. The Lord Prior of Grand Priory, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Wakehur t, K.G., K.C.M.G., performed the Opening Ceremony, and the Rev. Dr. L. L. L. Cameron, O.B.E., the Service of Dedication. Full upport was given by Members of Priory-Chapter, who attended in their robe and in ignia, and there was an excellent turn-out of member of the Order and a large number of guests at this colourful and important ceremony. The Committee are deeply indebted to the E ecutive Officer and Priory-Chapter for the encouragement and a istance rendered to it since the foundation of the Home. The Home is now fully occupied and the Committee feel that it ha helped to fill a much needed want and rendered a ervice to the community by enabling elderly people to have a comfortable and happy home. In conclusion, may I sincerely thank our St. John Association for their successful efforts in fund-raising and their untiring work on our behalf which has lightened our task. My thanks are also due to all the members of our various Committees for their interest and encouragement. THE EDI BURGH A D SOUTH-EAST COMMITTE OF THE PRIORY

Our Homes at Carberry and Lennox Row have fully justified our hopes of last year, and the current year has been one of progress and success. In 1962 residents in the Homes totalled 612, and the total for 1963 was 950. We are thus operating at our near maximum intake, which is very gratifying and means that the Homes are more or less permanently

filled. There is, therefore, no doubt that we are performing a most neces ary ervice to the people of Edinburgh and the surrounding districts by maintaining these Home. We are al 0 fortunate in having two excellent Committees, one at Carberry under the chairman hip of Mr. Black, and the other at Lennox Row under Mr . Boyd Ander on. Expenditure over income for the year in respect of our two Hospices wa £1,200, and tribute must be paid to the members of the St. John A ociation who succeeded in rai ing thi magnificent sum to meet the defici t. Unfortunately, the drainage y tern at the Home in Lennox Row broke down and the e timated cost of repairs is in the region of £1,200, which um i outwith the power of our organi ation to meet. It is hoped that the Corporation of dinburgh will help us by way of a grant towards defraying part of the co 1. It i indeed a plea ure to note that people no longer resident in the area are till upporling our endeavour. Equally so, it is good to see member of the Ho pice and Hou e Committee finding time to rai e monie in a private capacity, at the same time devoting their energies to the fund-rai ing activitie of the A sociation.

OMMITTEE OF TIlE PRJORY

During the year, the Aberdeen Committee ha had before it proposals for the moderni ing and extending of the St. John ur ing Home (acquired in 1950) and for the providing of a nur ing home for the aged. A full inve tigation a to po ibilitie and cost of this propo al i now proceeding. Although berdeen i well provided with Old People's Homes, the etting up of a nursing home for the aged i a much required service which the berdeen Committee ha di cu ed with the geriatric speciali t in the area. It i hoped that the e di cu ion will prod uce orne definite cherne to a i t the elderly who require nur ing care. The nnual Fe lival of t. John which took place in Aberdeen in June, 1963, wa one of the mo t ucce ful ever held in the north-ea t. It wa well attended and the berdeen Town Council once again entertained the Priory of Scotland. To mark the 400th anniver ary of the Order' break with the pari h of Maryculter in 1563 a pecial Commemoration Service was held in the pari h church at Maryculter, Kincardine hire. Attended by the Chancellor ir Andrew Murray and member of the Aberdeen Committee, the ervice wa conducted by the Rev. Marcu Scott-Ro , S.B.St.J., mini ter of the pari h. During the year two notable promotion were made: Colonel Martin Melvin Cruick hank, C.T. . Hon. Secretary of the Aberdeen Committee, to be a Knight of Grace' and Mr . Alice Ivy Hay of Seaton, former chairman and founder of the riend of St. John, now the St. John Association (Aberdeen Branch), to be a Dame of Grace. Baillie John Moir, M.B.E. was admitted to the Order a a Serving Brother, and the Rev. Marcu -Scott-Ro a a Serving Brother (A i tant-Chaplain). The year under review may be ummed up a one of steady maintenance of past standards and of exploration as to the po ibility of future advancement for the welfare of mankind.

THE ORDER OF ST. JOHN FOU OATlO HOSPITAL-PARK HOM!: THE HOSPITAL OMMITTEE

The St. John Foundation Hospital ha contributed another year of service to the citizen of Glasgow. Throughout the year 1963 the daily bed average was 16.4 while the birth within the Materni ty ection reached the high figure of 202. The operation undertaken \ ithin the theatre reached the record number of 425 an increa e of 52 from the previous year. It mu t give the greate t ati faction to all Con[~ere and those associated with the Priory of Scotland that our FoundatIOn Ho pital is so well regarded and provide 0 nece ary and acceptable a serVlce. Throughout the year it was found expedient and pos ible to undertake extensive improvements, especially in the Maternity Section and contracts have been accepted for the internal renovation following upon the outside work undertaken in 1962. There is little doubt that our Park Home is the premier nursing establi hment in the City. Acknowledgm~nt should be made to the Ladies' Linen Guild for their special donatIOn in cash of £100 which has been used to redecorate and partly refurni h staff quarters. This sum was, as u ual, additional to their. regular .co~ tribution of linen, crockery and household utensils. The L1l1en GuIld IS an ever generous benefactor to the Ho pita!. In common with other ho pitals and nursing home, the overhea.d costs of staff and maintenance constantly ri e. Notwithstanding thiS financial burden, however, it has been found pos ible to maintain an average of ten beds, where the cost of the patient is heavily subsidised by the Order to a degree of approximately £3,000 per annum.

The Linen Guild enjoyed another successful year. Our gift of £100 to the Ho pital wa u ed toward redecorating the stafT quarters, and many items of china, gla and linen were pre ented during the year. Again we mu t thank Sir Hugh Fra er, Bt., for hi much appreciated genero ity in granting u the u e of the re tam-ant in Me srs. Pettigrew & Stephen for our Annual Whi t and Bridge Party. We must al 0 thank the Rt. Hon. The Lord Provo t for the gift of a lovely Christmas tree, and all tho e who donated pre ent to the patient and staff of the Foundation Ho pita!.

the National Coal Board 14 % exclude a fair proportion or N.C.B. clas es held under Local Education Authorities. The teaching of Fir t Aid to school-children, which ha alway been an important objective toward which various approache have been made from time to time \ a carried a tep further a a re ult of a uggestion by a Cardiff City Councillor that all cl:oo~-children hoyld be in tructed in mouth-to-mouth emergency re u cItatIOn. The Pnory arranged a showing of the film "Pulse of Life to the Education Committee, offering to provide in tructors. Eventually the Brigade Training Officer, under the direction of the Chief Surgeon for Wale, had the pleasure of arranging two special two-day cour es in Fir t Aid for chool-children. The Wall Chart for Housewives produced by the S.J.A.A. has enabled the Priory to break new ground in bringing Fir t Aid to the notice of the public. Copies \ ere sent to the Clerks of County and Borough Councils in Wales with variou suggestions for their use through the Education and Public Health Department, follovving a lIcce ful approach to Cardiff City Council "vhich readily adopted the idea of having the Chart displayed in all their clinics. To date about half the Authorities have re ponded by purchasing quantitie for variou purposes. All class secretaries were supplied with a copy to bring to the notice of their memberships, as a handy form of reference in their home , and every division of the Brigade was placed in po se ion of the Chart for publicity purposes in their localities. Speakers at meeting of women' organi ations find the Chart invaluable a a ba is for a talk on elementary First Aid and their audiences are keen to take a copy away with them. Attention was focused on the Association' Fir t Aid manual in Braille through the good offices of the St. John Council for the Rhondda in presenting a copy to the Rhonda Borough Mayor for acceptance on behalf of the blind people of the Borough. At the public pre entation this service for the blind was referred to as a reflection of the Order s wonderful work for the prevention and treatment of eye di ease through the Ophthalmic Hospital and Research Centre in Jerusalem. Little progress has been made in respect of the revision of the First Aid in Coal Mines textbook as the Revision Committee is awaiting a copy of the draft revision of the standard First Aid manual with a view to synchronising the date of production of both textbooks and reducing variations in treatment to the minimum. The Ambulance Committee has provided a useful opportunity for the representatives of the various industries to discuss the problems of recruitment and training of first aiders. Liaison between national industries has facilitated the difficulty generally experienced in getting small numbers of employees trained in isolated places. The possibilities of TV as a medium for First Aid publicity are under consideration, although the only practical outcome of the negotiations so far is the attendance of all the staff at the B.B.C. Welsh Region at First Aid classes specially arrang. ed at their request. New avenues of approach must continue to be explored in furtherance of the aim of the Association to stimulate a deeper awareness of the public's growing need for First Aid knowledge in present-day conditions through the provision of training facilities and the use of attractive instructional aids.

40,407 AMBULA CE HALLS

No review is complete without an expression of gratitude on the part of the Priory for the grants made towards ambulance halls in the coalfield by the South Western Divisional Board, N.C.B., year by year. Reference was made in the last Report to the purchase and conversion of a large public hall at Glynneath; and it is pleasing to record the completion and opening of such a fine Headquarters. In speaking at the opening ceremony the Prior, Lord Aberdare, remarked that it was the largest he had ever visited in the Principality. The Cadet Units at Barry have become the proud possessors of a hall of their own to be known as The New Training and Recreational Centre for Cadet, erected alongside the present Ambulance Hall, at a cost of around £2,000, involving no expense to the Priory. The former Clydach Merthyr Colliery Office has been leased by the N.C.B., South Western Division, to the Graigcefnparc Division for a term of fourteen years from 1st January, 1963; and there is a scheme to acquire a headquarters at Senghenydd, where the Division has been advised to erect a more serviceable hall than the structure they had in mind. A building costing up to £1,700, with funds in hand could attract grant-aid from the N.C.B., the Glamorgan Further Education Committee and a Priory loan. Monies from the Priory N.C.B. fund have been assigned this year to the following schemes in Glamorgan :-Llangeinor (£250), Mardy (£238) in respect of the installation of gas heating, and Fernhill (£70) towards the provision of toilet accommodation. The erection of a new headquarters at Pontyberem in Carmarthenshire is going ahead with the prospect of an official opening in 1964, the draft lease, granted by the Memorial Hall and Institute Trustees for a term of ninety-nine years, being in course of preparation. In Monmouthshire, where a new hall is in course of erection at Cross Keys, the St. John Council allocated the whole of the £500 N.C.B. grant to this scheme, plus a loan from the Council, a further £250 being required to complete the building. The hall at Bedwas is nearing completion: and it is proposed to substitute for the existing premises belonging to the N.C.B. at Tredegar a new hall on land to be leased to the Division by the N.C.B., which is generously making a special contribution of £1,000, thereby matching the £1,000 held in Divisional funds. With N.C.B. grant-aid, the coming year will be as busy as ever. In addition to developments in the area of the coalfield, the St. John Council

ONFERENCES

An exceptionally full training programme started off in February with a one-day conference of Secretaries and Treasurer of all ranks who met in Cardiff to discuss the various aspects of their work, the speakers included the Assi tant Brigade Secretary from London Headquarters, Mr. A. F. N unn. Of outstanding intere t was the weekend conference arranged by the Chief Surgeon for Wale for Brigade Surgeons. Eminent speakers, including the Surgeon-in-Chief of the Brigade, excellent accommodation at Aberdare Hall and the hospitality of the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, himself a county surgeon, in giving a civic welcome to surgeons from Wale and the We t of England at a dinner in the banqueting hall of Cardiff Ca tie, all contributed to the succes of the occasion. Forty young adult member between the ages of 16-25 spent a weekend at St. Athan Boy' Village in May for a King George VI Leadership Training Course planned by the chief Officer Ambulance Cadets who was delighted with the calibre of the young people. An expedition involving map reading in unknown and difficult country wa part of the Saturday afternoon programme. 'How to Teach," admirably dealt with by an expert peaker, wa the main ubject. For the fir t time a large cale e erci e was a feature of the programme of the annual orth Wale Officer's Training Cour e at Rhos-on-Sea. Organi ed by the A i tant Chief Superintendent for Wales with the excellent co-operation of officer and members of the Colwyn Bay Division, a well taged train cra h provided e cellent experience. The second day wa taken up by lecture and a demonstration of First Aid by the Headq uarter Mobile Team et up by direction of the Chief Surgeon under the leadership of the A i tant Chief Surgeon and this is providing a valuable training development. Demand upon the team are numerous and they are prepared to travel anywhere required. The highlight of the South Wales Officer' Course at Barry was the presence of the Commi ioner-in-Chief who addres ed the officers on the fU,ture of the Brigade, and who, with the Deputy Commissioner-in-Chief, w~tnessed "Exerci e Hurricane," a disaster staged at Barry Pier Harbour with the kind assistance of the lifeboat crew and the Barry Yacht Club, who brought the casualties to land. The Deputy Commissioner for Glamorgan organised the event a isted by officers and members of the Ba.rry County Area. To mark the record number of Grand Prior Badges gamed in 1963 a demonstration was staged by A berdare County, Barry

At Whitsuntide a practical Training Camp Cour e at erryside attracted some 26 officer and member over 18 years of age to learn Camp Craft and qualify for the Warrant enabling the po se or to take charue of Cadet Camp. Once again pecial tribute i paid to the Quartermast~r a Lecturer in Cooking and Nutrition at the Cardiff College of Dome tic Art, whose brilliance both in teaching and the provi ion of such excellent menus adds 0 much to the tandard of the e Training Courses. With the grO\ ing intere t in canoeing and sailing, a pecial week's camp was run at Llanstephan, where the Training Officer wa Commandant. Instruction was given by representatives of the Central Council of Physical Recreation and the Ferry ide Yacht Club was mo t generous in taking Brigade members out in their yacht. At the end of the week eleven campers passed the efficiency te t of the British Canoeing Union. Subsequently, at lea t two Division have taken up the port and are making or purchasing their own canoe. Ten Nursing Cadets and two Officer from Ireland were gue t at the Priory Camp also held at Llanstephan in the ground of the Lady President for Carmarthenshire. Some 60 Cadet and Officer from Wales took part. This report cannot close without mention of a mo t u eful and fruitful course at Glan-y-Mor, Barry, for Cadet N.C.O.' organised by County Staff Officer (C) Glamorgan. Not only wa it well attended by Cadet N.C.O.'s from Glamorgan, but also from Breconshire, Carmarthenshire, Cardiff and Swansea. COMPETlTIO S

The guidance of the Brigade is frequently sought by organi ation with less experience in this field. Monmouthshire County Council, for in tance, which has always encouraged the instruction of the public in First Aid, continuing to the present day to waive the attendance fees to students taking First Aid in evening classes, decided in 1963 to stimulate interest by reviving their annual competitions, asking the Priory to undertake this. The co-operation of the Brigade Secretary and County Brigade Officers resulted in record entries. The Monmouth hire Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs also looked to the Priory to tage a competition at their annual county rally. It has become customary for many groups used to running competitions to consult our organisation in respect of tests and adjudicators and the Chief Surgeon for Wales initiated the setting up of a Competition Sub-Committee, with representation of the Association as well as the Brigade, to act in an advisory capacity. One recommendation due to be considered by this Committee is that a Prior's Competition be organised for finalist teams, including the Brigade, on lines similar to the Grand Prior's competition run by the Order in London. It is usual to include on the panel of judges for the Welsh Brigade

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT-I -CHIEF, NURSING CORPS AND DIVISIO MEMBERSHIP

There has been a marked decrease in the Nursing and Cadet membership, this was largely due ~o the r~moval of non-Europ~a.n per onn~l to outlying areas from where It was ~.lfficult to trav:el to Dlvi LOnal m~e.tl?gs. It is hoped that in the near future It may be possible to tart new DIVISIons in these areas. The tendency among Di tricts to form more combined. mbulance and Nursing Divisions has continued and ha proved to be Ideal when there were insufficient nursing or am bul ance members to form eparate Divisions.

ATH

All phases of the work of the hospital again howed a ma:ked. in~rease; small cause for wonder when it is remembered that the hospItal IS Ituated on a main provincial road adjacent to what is p~obably the .largest subeconomic housing complex in the southern hemIsphere. Adjacent areas show the continuing advance of these schemes, important as they are for serving the labour needs of the industrial and commercial activities of the city of Johannesburg. Thus it is that new records for out-patients, admissions and operations, particularly in the Bantu group, continue to be made. The total numbc:r of out-patients of all races attended was 18,827, or 646 more than the figure for 1962. The average of 69 out-patients for all working days ~f the year was quite often exceeded on record days when up to 130 patlents were attended to. Although the actual number of patients admitted decreased by 102 in comparison with 1962, the number of patient-days again shows a record; the bed accommodation being at most times fully occupied.

THE PRIORY IN NEW ZEALAND HIS EXCELLE CY the Prior, Brigadier Sir Bernard Fergus on, G.C.M.G., G .C.V. O. , D.S .O ., wa welcomed to the annual meeting of Priory Chapter held on Friday, 28th June and the Chancellor, in hi welcoming address, told His E cellency that members of the order throughout New Zealand were delighted to have as their Prior a gentleman who ha had a close association in the work of our Venerable Order through the services rendered to New Zealand by His Excellency' father and grandfather. His Excellency, in reply read a mes age from the Lord Prior, the Lord Wakehurst: ' On behalf of the Grand Priory and Chapter-General of the Order of St. John I send to you and all member of the Priory, fraternal greetings and best wi hes on the occa ion of St. John s Day." Continuing, Hi Excellency said, "I have been seven month in ew Zealand and have travelled extensively throughout, and one of the most striking things which has impres ed both my wife and my elf is the enormou amount of time given up by people in this country, eagerly and willingly to the service of their fellow men, women and children. It is good; it is practical; it is Christian. Wherever I go [ am delighted to the Order, its servants of all ages working long hour and eagerly in furthering what we have at heart." His Excellency told the meeting what a great pleasure it was, as Prior of the Venerable Order of St. John in New Zealand, to preside over thi Annual Meeting of Priory Chapter and to meet Confreres who were giving so much voluntary service in the areas which they represented. STA DARDISATION OF ASSOCIATlO ERTIFICATES Since our last report all Association awards issued in New Zealand have now been standardised in the name of Priory Headquarter. Awards are endorsed at Centre level by Centre Secretaries and the signature of the examiner is included on all issued certificates. FIRST AID 1 I DUSTRY Priory Headquarters, through Centres of the St. John Ambulance Association, supported the Department of Labour s Campaign throughout industry on the needs of First Aid equipment and First Aid training in industry. DEYELOPME T AND EXP A SION The past year has been one of considerable development and expansion. The adoption of a training curriculum for Ambulance Driving Officers

has been approved and Priory Headquarters are to undertake the administration of t~e examining board. Pl:io~y Chapter approved the policy that every candldate ucce fully quahfYlng for a irst Aid certificate would be is ued with a pocket-sized printed certificate as evidence of qualificatio~l for men and women employed in all walks of life. The holdll1g of Conferences of the Administrators of both foundations namely, St. John Ambulance Operators, the St. John Ambulance Associa~ tion and the Commissioners in Charge of Brigade Districts enabled the work of our Order to be con idered at National level and from these working conferences our governing body, Priory Chapter was in a position to advi.s~ national policy. ' Modern condlt~on have made it necessary for Priory Headquarters and both foundatlO~ to approach mor~ . ystematically, than in the past, the problem ?f publtc relatlOns and pUb~lClty. We are firmly of the opinion that the publrc must be constantly kept ll1formed of the aims and activities of t~e Orde~ for the ~eason that the St. John Ambulance Brigade depends for Its contmued eXistence on a steady flow of recruits while the St. John AmbL~Jance A sociatiop' gro~ing responsibility in tr~ining members for the Bngade t~~ .publJc and mdustry, requires constant effort to ensure that the facilities that we are able to offer are as widely known as possible. RA D PRIOR'S ADVISORY COU CIL The Priory wa repre ented at the Grand Prior's Advisory Council meeting held at St. John ' Gate on Wednesday, 12th June. The Chief Secretary' report on thi meeting was received by Priory Chapter on the 28th June.

anticipated, our training awards in 1963 did not match the total of 195,000 issued in 1962 which had included 50,000 candidate drawn from the Dominion Government's Special Militia training programme. Nevertheless, candidates passing F.A. or B.N. examination at the various levels in 1963 totalled over 135,000, and, except for 1962, e ceeded the number trained in any previous year. The average number of Canadians trained at various levels by St. John during the past five year i 136,000, In the Brigade we now have 9,840, a mall increase during the year. Across the country all divisions were hard pressed to meet the demands made upon their services by the public, de pite the pecial efforts of,all members. The recruiting of new members for the Bngade, the creatIOn of Divisions in new areas and the expansion of existing Divisions as well as their financial support are matters that are giving concern at all levels, In an effort to spur Brigade recruitment the Priory produced a I-minute filmlet depicting Brigade activities and distributed ome 120 copies with English or French narratives to Television tation acro the coun~ry, A special art-poster was produced and distributed with the same object in mind. During the year another two Divisions- one Ambulance and one Nursing-joined the growing number who have been in exi tence in Canada for 50 years; in May, No.2 Fort Garry Nursing Divi ion and No. 14 Winnipeg (C.P.R.) Ambulance Divisions celebrated Golden Anniversaries. In Quebec in June a regional St. John Congress was he~d in Rimouski, one of the most successful events of this kind ever held tn Canada. The ceremonies at the Church and on the Parade Ground, involving some five hundred members of the Brigade, and the First ~id demonstrations evoked commendations from many sources, and hIgh

praise for the enthusia m and pirit of co-operation so evident in the Lower St. Lawrence group. Early in the year all members of Brigade particularly, but also members of the Order and friend of St. John, shared proudly in the signal honour conferred upon Mi s Margaret Jardine MacLaren, Superintendent-inCbief of Nur ing Divi ion in Canada ince] 946, when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth wa plea ed to create Miss MacLaren a Dame Grand CrosS of the Order. The elevation of Mi s MacLaren to this high grade, unprecedented out ide the United Kingdom , was in gracious recognition of Miss MacLaren's long and outstanding service and unique contribution to the work of S1. John over many years. At a private ceremony in the presence ofelo ~ friend a~d ~enior Member of the Ord~r Miss MacLaren was inve ted wIth the In Igma of her new grade by HJ ExcelJency The Governor General, Prior of the Order at Government House, Ottawa, on 3rd July. A short time later on October 1st the death of Mi s Margaret MacLaren brought sadne to all St. John member in Canada and tributes and expres ions of ympathy were received from countless friends in Canada and many part of the Commonwealth where Miss MacLaren had become widely known through her travels. On 1 t November at Government Hou e Hi Excellency The Prior held an inve titure at which, in the presence of Her xcellency Madame Vanier and 200 invited gue t , 121 member of the Order were received and inve ted at a very impre sive ceremony. Among the eight Knights received and jnve ted \ ere three Lieutenant-Governors, The Hon. Earl Rowe of Ontario The Hon. Henry P. MacKeen of Nova Scotia and the Hon, Robert L.

The Lord Prior also found time to pend a day \ ith Mr. John Mol on Chancellor at the time, at St. Sauveur in the Laurentian Mountain hold a Pre s Conference, call on the Lieutenant-Governor and the Premier of Ontario and hold a small Inve titure. Many member and friend of St. John in Eastern Canada enjoyed meeting the Lord Wakehur t during his short stay. Another rno t welcome vi itor to our hore was the Rt. Hon. Sir Ralph Perring Lord Mayor of London, who at the invitation of certain Mayors in Canada and accompanied by the Lady Mayoress, Sheriffs and Ladie landed in Quebec City on 12th August. During three busy week the Lord Mayor' party topped over at principal cities on a cross-country vi it that ended in Vancouver. n exceedingly tight schedule had been arranged by the host of the Lord Mayor's party and as a consequence the Lord Mayor a Knight of the Order, did not have all of the opportunities he had hoped for to meet member of the Order in the various province .

Altho ugh 1963 wa a difficult year there are ome encouraging features in the Account . The net deficit on the Lncome and E penditure of tbe Central Admini tration shows a reduction of £8,169 to £11,712. The Headquarter' Funds of the A sociation and the Brigade each how an increa e mainly due to Jegacie and intere t being greater than the excess of net expenditure over their r pect}ve block gra.nt from. the income of ~he Post-War Fund (General AlI~catlOn). The capital of thl fund is again ll1 exce s of £1,000000, though It houJd be noted that £500,000 i still acknowledged a a "War Reserve." The measures set out in the memorandum headed "St. John Finances" and approved by Chapter-General in May 1959 have now been in operation for four financial years. The e mea ures have now been well tested by practical experience' they appea r to be achieving their purpo e and no modification or alteration are sugge ted .

Report of the Hospitaller and Hospital Committee for 1963 R EPORT 0

including the THE HOSPITAL SUB-COMMI TEE

The Ho pitaller and the Committee of the Ophthal~lic Hos~ital have the honour to submit their eventy- econd report co en ng the eIghty-fir t year of the Hospital for the information of H,R,H, The rand Prior and the Chapter-Genera I, GE ERAL

The year ha been distinguished by two official R yal ~isits to , the Hospital of particular interest an? enc~urage~ent. As ~entlOned bnefty by the Warden in his Report, Hls Majesty KlOg Hu ~10 of Jordan, an Associate Bailiff Grand Cros of the Order, wa graclou ly pleased to open the Eye-bank on the 16th of January, and during his vi it he spontaneously called for a form and bequ~a~hed his own ,eye ,to the banle This splendid gesture, so charactenstlc of the Kmg, I the more courageous on the part of a Moslem r~ller for Mo lern religiou ,teaching is particularly strict on all matter relatlDg to the huma~ ~ody. HI ge~ture was followed by a declaration from the Moslem autho~lt~es that th,e gift of the eyes after death conformed with the tenets of religIOus chantr W,e are therefore particularly grateful to His Majesty for demonstratmg his approval and support of our work in such a public and practical manner. Some two months later His Royal Highness The Duke oC Glouces~er. Grand Prior of the Order, was able to visit the ho pitai accompamed by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Glouce ter" the Presi~ent of the Ladies' Linen Guild, It will be remembered that HIs Royal Highness had hoped himself to open the new hospital in October, 1960, but had unavoidably been prevented from travelling to Jordan, On ~he ] 5th of March, however, Their Royal Highnesses arrived by air 10 Amman together with LordWakehurst, K,G" the Lord Prior of the Order. and the Hospitaller~ and on the 18th they motored to Jerusalem where they stayed for two days as the guests of the Warde'1 and Mrs, Boase, In lovely spring weather on the 19th of March they carried out a very full inspection of the Hospital, and later held an Investiture i~ the COu!se of which seven persons were invested with the insignia of theIr respective

Their Royal ,Highne?ses expressed their great appreciation of all they saw at the ho pltal, sa?,Jng that t~e scale of the facilities and the standards of work exceeded t~eIr e.xpectallons, and were both an inspiration and a sour~e of great s~t!SfactlOn to the~. To everyone connected with the hOspItal, ~oth Bn~1 hand J ordaDl~n, this visit acted as a lively and happy fillip and- If that were possLble- augmented the prestige of the hospital throughout the Middle East. The Ho pitall~r, acc?mp,a~ied by Lady Duke-Elder and the Secretary, was present durmg thl VI It, and subsequently returned in December t~ !erusalen: where h~ stayed until January, 1964. During the second VISit Her, Highness Ponce Muna of Jordan paid an informal visit to the Hospital. Apart fror,n and even dur~ng-these highlights, the routine daily work o~ th~ Hospital has gone C?n lD the usual way, in so far as medical work ~~Ith Its con, tantly recurrm~ new problems and surprises can be conIdered routine, Each \<\-orking day throughout the year the out-patient department h~ tended an average of 270 person who would otherwise have been wIthout ,help; ~he ward have remained full of those who have b~e~ more ,enou ly, Ill; th,e operating theatres have been strained to the l!mIt of th~lr capacity; whIle the Eye-bank has become an effective factor 10 the rehef of blindness,

It will be een from the , tatistic app~nded to the Warden's R eport t~at the total atte~dance In the out-patient department have declined s~nce ,the new hospItal wa , 0 cupied. Much of this decline is due to the situatIOn of the new hospital outside the Old City~ there is little doubt that wh~n w~ ';Vere work~ng in the mid t of the City many out-patient arne with, lflvlal omplalnt and even becau e they had nothing better to do, while ma,ny per i ted in returning with unnecessary frequency; they are now dl ouraged by the <.1i tance they have to travel. The War,den has ma~e mention of other reasons which contribute to the declIne, and parllcularly to the mall drop in total attendances this year; none of these, reason reflect ad versely on the work of the hospital. There seem httle doubt that the figure in future will stabilise at around 80,000 per a~nurn, It i more ati factory that the figure this year record the,more Sefl?U rather than the trivial type of illne and that those for maJor,operatLO,n ,reached the unprecedented level of nearly 6 000, Among these It IS gratlfymg to ee that 85 were operation for corneal grafting. ~n ~he Report of la t year it was noted that the re earch laboratories bUilt In the ground of the ho pital before the main building was erected' were recently, converte? into two flats ince ample provision for laboratory accommodation was Incorporated in the new building, We have now ~dded a second storey to this block, making a combined unit of four ats .f?r the .use of urgeons, re earch workers, and their families, a P~OV~slOn whlch, should ensure that all our staff is gathered together rt,hm the Hospital compound, shari,ng all the ameniti~s that this entail , t IS also proposed to add a recreation room to the SIsters' Home; it i

expected that this will complete our building programme for the fore· eeable future. th h B " h We were very happy to learn during. the ye.ar at t e ntIs Consul· General has acquired the open land Im~edlalely to the outh of the Warden's house a a ite on which to budd the new Con ulate-General. He will be a very welcome neighbour. RESEARCH

In previou Reports the progress ~f research on . i~fective diseases ?[ the eye, particularly trachoma, the dlsa trou condJtlOn so prevale~t. In the Middle Ea t, which i estimated to affect .between ~OO and 400 mIllion people throughout the world, ha. been bnefiy o~tlliled. The researc~ initiated in our Hospital and contmued by the MedIcal Resear~h Cou?cll in We t Africa has now reached a tage when the ~roph~lactlc ~accl.na. tion of children can reasonably be attempted . WI~h thl end 1~ VIew the Order sent Professor Barrie J one~ to ~he .MIddle ~ a st wlth an epidemiologist to determine wher~ an lllve tIga.tlOn of thl type could best be initiated on a research ba IS. ~or a proJect sych as thIS. seyeral desiderata are required in the commumty among whIch the prehmmary research should be conducted:]. A proportion of the child populatison uP to about 90 % become infected before the ages of to 7 .

hould

A child population up to about 700 should be a vail~ble for vaccina· tion allowing for control (who would not be .vac m~ted) and also allowing for the high death-rate of young chIldren 10 these areas. 3. Relative isolation, and at the same time tability of the popUlation , in villages of convenient size. 4. The non-availability of antibiotic ~ru~sl to t?~ pOdPulation the effects of a vaccine are not artlficla ly VItIate .

and that Ku.w ait would be a suitable community from which to attempt the eliminatIon of trachoma when the potentialities of vaccine and the size and frequency of its dosa ge had been assessed. It is hoped that a start will be m ade in this programme during 1964. It is interesting to note that, largely due to the activities of our Hospital and the excellent work of UNRWA over m any years in the refugee camps, there is not noW sufficient trachoma in Jordan to make it a rewarding field for our preliminary research work. HO PITAL COMMlITEE

We record with deep regret the deaths which took place during the year of the RL Hon. The. Lord E~ans a~d of Mr. J. E. Coomber. Both had been members of thIS Committee smce 1957 and their loss will be deeply felt. We were very plea ed to welcome as a new member Sir Edwin Chapman-Andrews, K.C.M.G. , O.B .E., whose appointment as Honorary Treasurer was appro ved by the Grand Prior in October, 1963. This post has hith~rto b~en held by the Receiver-General, but in view of the extra dutIes which the Honorary Treasurer will shortly undertake and are mentioned later in thi report, he had a ked that the post should be made an individual incumbency; as Recei ver-General Mr. Lewis Whyte will of course rem ain a member of the Committee with overall responsibility for our financial policy. We also welcome Mr. E. Reed of the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers who comes to the Committee in place of the late Mr. Coomber; and Mr. winstead who has been appointed as our Treasurer. Although strictly out ide the chronology of this report we are happy to congratulate Sir Maurice Bridgeman on the Knighthood conferred lI pon him in the ew Year' Honours List of 1964.

Our staff appear to be very happy and are ertainly exceedingly busy. Dr. Boa e, O.B .E ., FR.C.

Hi period of office has been an active and an important pha e in the hi tory of the ho pita], and Dr. Boase has enhanced the prestige of the Order in Jordan, both by his work in the Hospital and together with Mr . Boa e by the many activities outside it inwhich they play an active parl. We hope they will long remain with us. We are glad that the Sub-Warden, Dr. Budeiri, O.B.E., M.D., D.O.M.S ., has completely recovered from hi iUne . He has had another busy and satisfying year. There has been a complete turnover among t the other Surgeons for ~ost of them come to Jerusalem on a yearly basis. We are very sorry mdeed to say goodbye to Dr. Paton, the son of Dr. Townley Paton, who had introduced and established the Eye-bank and who was deservedly so popular with everybody during his time in Jerusalem. His place is taken by Dr. Fjordbotten, a Canad ian Surgeon sponsored by the International Eye·bank in Washington. We welcome al 0 Dr. Rintoul who has been seconded for a year by the Royal Navy. We think that these secondments have great value, for the experience gained by a surgeon in

PROPERTY OF THE ORDER

Dr. Kathleen Kenyon of the British SC~lOol of Archaeo~ogy has now completed her investigation on our .M~nsta~ property wlthlI~ the Old City. It will be remembered that thl IS belle ed to be the slte of the original hospice initiated by Pope Gregory the Great about A.D: 600, where the Order of St. John was founded. Dr. Kenyon foun.d eVld~n~e that this is so and although these excavations do not come st~Ictly WIthin the subject ~atter of a report on t.he acti,;,ities of the hospItal, yet the results are of such interest that theu mentIOn m~y .n?,t be out of plac.e. Dr. Kenyon reports that the lowest levels of he~ 'dIg were quarned. III the Israelite period and were therefore at that tIme undoubtedly outsIde the city of J erusalem. Mo~eover .she found evi~ence to show that the site remained outside the CIty unttl at least la.te III the first cen~ury A.D. These excavations therefore prove conclusIvely tha.t the s~te now occupied by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outsIde . the .CIty walls at the time of Christ, and may have been the authentIc Stte of the Crucifixion. It is gratifying that these excavations on land o~ned by the Order should have led to such a very interesting and satIsfactory conclusion. . . d The Order will now consider the future of the Munstan. It IS propose to create a memorial garden on the part of site neares~ to the road, which will commemorate the association of the area wIth. the Order, and to make the rest of the site available for some useful socIal pu~pose. Towards the end of the year some hopes were raised that a sUItable buyer might be found for the old hospital buildings in Israel, but these have not yet materialised. FINANCE

The Committee reported last year that our finances were causlllg u some concern. Great efforts have been made this year to ~eep hour recurrent expenses as small as possible, and, indeed, e~onomies ttV~ been shown in what may be termed "housekeeping", despIte the fact a

incur consIderable extra expenditure in other directions where such economies are not possible. In order to meet new commitments under tbe law of Jordan we have had to make provision in the accounts this year for th~ .first time, for mo~e than £3,000 for the payment of retirement gratUItIes to our JordanIan staff; uch a scheme of course is a very goo~ thing: ~ore?ver expenditure on maintenan~e and repairs to the HOspltal bUIldIngs IS !low also be~inni~g to make itself felt. Despite a/l our efforts our combmed expendlture In Jerusalem and in London has th~refore ri en from £62,0~0 in 1962 to £67,000 this year; this latter figure wcludes a non-recurrent ltem of £1 600 for equipment and furniture for the two new flat . To off et this ri e in expenditure we have received an additional £1 800 of revenue from private patients' fees. But our net expenses ?av~ increa ed;. ~nd they are bound to increase again next year, f~r m vIew of the n tng cost of living in Jordan, we have recently had to Introduce new alary cales for the Jordanian staff. These became payable from the 1st of October, and their effect will therefore not become apparent until next year. Although an expenditure of £67,000 may appear high, yet it is less than £1,000 per annum per b d, a figure which compares very favourably ~ith t.ha.t of. about ~2,000 per bed ~hich. i . about the average in hospitals \0 Brttam: m makmg the companson It IS to be remembered that the cost of living in Jordan is not far short of that at home and that calculations ~ade on a bed-co. t basis do not take adequate ~ccount of the very can lderable expen e mvolved in the treatment of the immense number of out-patients in Jerusalem. In addition, the Committee very much hopes that our expen es will considerably increase in the years to come as our re earch programme gets under way; th is will, indeed, be money well spent and the opportunities wilt be limited only by the finance available. For these reasons the Committee believes that the time has now come to prepare a new Appeal for further funds . It will be remembered that a limited but yery su ce ful Appeal was made in 1955. The generous resp~nse to thl not only enabled us to build and equip our new ho pital and ItS ancillary re idential buildings but has also served to make good the annual . deficit incurred in ucceeding years. But the hospital is no longer a SImple local charity in Jordan; it will become an essential support .of .our research campaign, a campaign which might well eventually ehmmate the greate t cause of blindness, not only in the Middle East but throughout immen e areas of the world. Much greater issue are therefore at stake, and we are confident that our friends who have helped us a generou ly to start this work will wi h to see it through, and that others from a much wider field will wish to be associated with us. The goal is clear; but the fact are known to very few and a great deal of preliminary work ha to be done before an Appeal can be properly launched. Sir Edwin Chapman-Andrews has volunteered to take charge of this Ap~eal, and the Committee is most grateful to him for offering hi serVIces and for entering upon the task with uch enthusiasm. Nobody c?uld be more suited for this ta k than he, for Sir Edwin has an unnvalled knowledge of the Middle East derived from his career in the Foreign Service and in business. He has already engaged the support

WARDEN'S REPORT FOR 1963 RETRO PECT

lL wa a bu y year and a memorable one. The paramount event Was the vi it in March of T.R.H. The Grand Prior and the Duchess of Glouce ter who after a State Vi it to King Hus ein in Amman spent two days in J eru alem, residing in the Warden's hou e at the hospital Fo~ the first time the standard of. the Grand Prior wa to be seen proudly fiymg from the top of the hospltal tower. The Duke, accompanied by the Duchess, made a tour of in pection of the hospital and thereafter received member of the Order and invested new member with the in ignia of their rank. The Lord Prior, Lord WakehursL and the Ho pitaller Sir Stewart Duke-Elder, were in attendance on the Grand Prior throughout his visit. Along with them we were able to welcome the Order's new Secretary, Mr. N. McClintock, who was making his first isit to the hospital. During the year we had the honour of being i ited by no less than three Hospitallers of the Order. Dr. R . T wnley Paton, Hospitaller in the United States was with us for some days in May, not nearly as long as we could have wished. Much of hi time here wa spent as a "busman's holiday", for his high repute and elegant kill at corneal grafting were mercilessly exploited by u. We hope it will not be long before he comes again. In August Sir Kenneth Fraser Hospitaller in Australia, pa id u a visit en route to his home in Brisbane. The Warden wa unfortunately away at the time and so looks forward to Sir Kenneth' next vi it to Britain (via Jerusalem). Our own Hospitaller vi ited the ho pitat twice in the year, and at his second visit in December he and Lady Duke-Elder were here for three weeks. With many administrative matters calling for his attention, and in constant clinical demand, his vi it was not e actly the ideal holiday. Nevertheless it must be recorded that at the Staff dance on Boxing Day Sir Stewart relaxed to the extent of showing our young nur es how to enjoy a dance without a twist. Both he and Lady Duke-Elder did yeoman service as waiters at the Staff dinner and fully earned any com· mendation we might give them as "a married couple'. Among our many visitors during the year we were pleased to receive Professor and Mrs. Barrie Jones from the Institute of Ophthalmology. London. His coming on a fact-finding mission raised hopes that our laboratory would once more become a functioning research unit. Inciden· tally, those who remember the original research laboratory will be interested to hear that it has been converted and extended into four residential flats. The new hospital, of cour e incorporate excellent laboratory accommodation. One visitor whom we were eagerly expecting was prevented by illness from coming to Jerusalem. It had been hoped that Lady Webb-Johnson would be here at Christmas and that the opportunity would be taken to hold a ceremony of dedication of the triptych which she has so generously donated in memory of her husband, the late Lord Webb-John on, former Hospitaller of the Order. Weare very glad to hear that she is making good progress towards a complete recovery, and we hope this means thai her visit has been only postponed and not cancelled.

REPORT

TAFF

Dr. Kh. Budeiri, O.B.E., Sub-Warden, returned from leave in England on February 11th, quite recovered, we are plea ed to say, from his operation. Dr. David Darby arrived on first appointment on January 18th. To our regret he was unable to stay for a full year and left on ovember 1st. Dr. Tom Kellie fini hed h is year in ebruary and returned to London for hjgher studie. Many a ad mien marked his going, the general sentiment being "Will ye no come back again?" Dr. Alf Fjordbotten, first holder of the Bunker Fellowship in Corneal Surgery of the International ye-bank, arrived from the United States in May to reJjeve Dr. David Paton and upervise the administration of the Jordan Eye-bank. Parting with David Paton wa a sad occasion for all. He had worked selfle ly and un ea ingly for the hospital and was held in the highest esteem by the taff and patients alike. While we congratulate him on hi appointment at the Wilmer Institute of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore, we hope that nostalgia will some day bring him and Janie back to the J eru alem they loved so well. In June we lost Dr. Tim Rank in, who quite understandably decided that the difficulties of educating a family in an alien country indicated a return to Britain. We hear that he has ettled in Perth and wi h him every luck. He was replaced here by Dr. Andrew Rintoul on secondment from the Royal avy for one year. Thu for the econd time ha the avy come to our assistance. It will be re aIled that Surgeon-Captain Dudley Gurd was loaned to u for three ear from 1952 to serve a Warden. ew ground was broken in December when a young lady doctor, Sura El Aish. newly qualified from Damascus, wa taken on as a trainee. In due cour e she will pro eed to Moorfield for the academic side of her ophthalmic training. Of the Nursing j ters, Mi Barbara Elli wa married on May 12th to Mr. Issa Ghatta and after a honeymoon io Ireland returned to Jerusalem and re urn d her dutie at the hospital. Mi s Margaret Vance left in March. and Mr . Mu allam in June. ew appointment were Miss M. Robert in March , Mi E. Wood in May, and Mis M. McMeoami n i 0 June. All of the e en tudent nur e who took the final examination thi year were ucce ful, and were ubsequently awarded their diplomas by the Hospitaller. One of them has gone to the American University Beirut, to do her training in general nur ing: three intend to go to England for the same purpo e. The Jordan Army has absorbed one of the male graduate, a ecood ha gone to the Augu ta Victoria Ho pital for general training. and a third is working in the U.N.R.W.A. clinic. One of our ophthalmic nur e who qualified in 1962 has left to join the Army Nursing Service. It is appropriate to mention here how valuable the cine-projector equi pment (a gift from Canada) has proved itself. The showing of educational, nur jng and entertainment films has greatly widened the scope of ur training syllabus. Recru itment of girls a student nurses is still somewhat of a problem. The most recent entrant compri e five males and three female. This i a matter in which prejudice must be expected to die out very slowly. Dr. Paton demonstrates an eye condition to Hi

In this conne tion it i of intere t that the various Blind School have noted ales ening in the demand for admission for very young children. There wa a light rise in the number of operations, that for senile cataract exceeding the L,OOO mark for the first time. For the. record jt should b~ a id th a t the month of july achieved the fantastic total of 690 operatlOns-more than half the annual total of ten year ago.

Regular meeting were held under the chairman hip of Mrs. MacInnes. Mrs. Haley, formerly Matron of the ho pita!, left Jordan in JUly to everyone's regret, but otherwise membersh ip of the committee remained unchanged. Among its main intere t , the Sewing Guild, with greatly improved attendances, accompli bed much useful work. In recognition of her devoted service to the Guild Mrs . Agnes Albina was inve ted by the Hospitaller with the insignia of a Serving Sister at an informal ceremony in the Warden's house. On the same occa ion the Hospitaller awarded Honorary Members brooches to eight lad ie who have served the Guild for at least three year. The Committee' effort toward Blind Welfare are being increasingly appreciated. Large number from the Blind Schools attended the lecture, informal concert and oci al gathering that were arranged during the year. A picn ic in tbe summer was enjoyed by 150 adults and children, and an even larger number came to the Christmas parties. The courses in First Aid sponsored b y the Committee owe their success entirely to the initiative and indu stry of Mrs. MacInnes. Attended by schoolgirls, member of the Y.W.C.A ., and some of the hospital staff, these courses are deservedly popular and u cessful.

THE EYE-BANK.

In the report for last year mention was made of th e official opening of the Eye-bank by H.M. King Hussein. This event occurred on January 16th, 1963, and so properly belongs to this report. The work of the bank has made steady progress during the p ast year. N o t only has the number of corneal grafting operations increased nearly threefold, but it has been possible to supply some preser ved corneas to surgeons in Amman and Beirut. Of the 85 corneal grafts carried out at tbe hospital during the year 43 were penetrating or full thickness grafts, and the remainder of the lamellar type. Research into the preservation of corneas by deep freezing has been started, since work elsewhere has shown this field to be one of promise. An excellent library of colour slides of various eye conditions is being gradually expanded. This shoul.d prove a valuable adjunct in research, teaching, and the field of public relations, particularly among the medical and para-med ical professions. ARTHUR BOASE,

year three enormous ca es of clothing were received from the Guild in New Zealand. These ca es were examined in May by Lady Freyberg who came to St. John's Gate e pecially for the purpose with the late Lord Freyberg, V.c., and who elected specimens of the gifts to be shown to Her Royal Highne s. It is recorded in the H05pitaller's report that he himself and Lady Duke-Elder pent Christma at the hospital and joined in the festivities there. As usual the e were financed by the Linen Guilds, and we were glad to receive a first-hand report .them from La.dy Duke-Elder at a meeting hortly afterwards. The Splflt of the hospltal staff has always been excellent and we are very pleased to be able to help in this way. The accounts show that the fund is in a healthy condition despite unusually heavy purchase during the year. But there are many other direction in which we hould like to help if our finances allowed. We are by no mean ati fled with our present scale of effort and we hope that our friend will enable us to undertake more in the years to come.

REPORT OF THE LADIES' LINE FOR THE YEAR 1963

ILD

At a meeting held on the 26th of March, H.R.H. The Duchess of Gloucester was kind enough to give the Committee a mo t interesting account of her visit to the hospital from which he had returned only a few days before. Their Royal Highnesses had tuyed for two days with the Warden and Mrs. Boase and had made a thorough in pection of the hospital. They had particularly liked the general impres ion conveyed by the pale pastel colours on the walls and the flooring of marblelike rubbery material; this, combined with the spotle cleanliness of the nurses' uniforms and all the equipment, gave animpres ion of light, quiet and peacefulness. Her Royal Highne was plea ed and inspired by the admirable work the hospital was doing and the great reputation it had in Jordan. It was doing a great deal for British prestige in the Middle East. The Committee met on a number of subsequent occasions during the year and authorised the purchase of linen and other good to meet the requirements of the hospital. In some cases the material only was bought, and the garments were made up in the United Kingdom by parties of voluntary workers; in other cases the manufactured garment was sent direct. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the Linen Guilds of Canada, Australia and New Zealand who have contributed so generously during the year both with donations and with gifts of clothing and other supplies. In particular we remember the Cadets of New Brunswick who sent us an electric hairdrier which is in constant use by the Jordanian nurses and is especially prized by them. Unusually generous donations have been received from Australia; and early in the

THE OBJECT of this Foundation i the instruction of persons in First Aid

and kindred subject and I am glad to report an increase in the number of clas es organi ed and held by Centres over the previous year, and an increase in the number of people who obtained First Aid Certificates or passed in re-examination. The appalling increase in the number of accidents on the road and in the home make it imperative, if we are to pur ue our objective, to take what steps we can to improve and encourage education in this sphere by the setting-up of new Centre , which the Association is authorised to establish. A proposal to thi end will, we hope, a sist in this development in the areas of large industrial population in the North Midlands and NorthWest of England. A plan of development, as an experiment, but in no way interfering with the present County Director basis of our organisation, is to take place in the North-West of England. Mr. K. C. Cook, County Director for Lancashire, has been appointed Regional Director to cover the countie of Lanca hire, Cheshire, Westmorland and Cumberland. The plan includes the e tabli hment of many new Centres so as to cover as much of the area a pos ibl . In addition, the A sociation has been studying the de irability of appointing an experienced First Aid Regional Development Officer to work with and to a si t our existing county organisations. The fir t appointment on an experimental basis, win be in the North-We t. It is essential that there hould be the closest co-operation between the Association and the Brigade at a ll level, for the more trained First-Aiders under the aegis of the A ociation there are, the greater the candidate potential for admi ion to the Brigade. The Mini try of Labour by its recent regulations on First Aid, ha created an obEgation for Management in which the A sociation plays an important voluntary part. We welcome on the Association Committee Government repre entative. and, from what I see and hear, it would eern that in our particular phere of welfare work there is no indication of any de ire to depart from the voluntary basis. In this connection I would like to refer to the national employer, the Police, the Railway, lectricity and Gas undertakings, the Po t Office, tbe Mining Indu try, the Dock Labour Board. They have all had experience in Fir t Aid for over half a century and provide a large force of trained Fir t-Aider throughout the country. Many of these help the work of the Association through its County Directors and Centres in their leisure hour and to these I wi h to pay a particular tribute. An important aspect of the A ociation's training activities has been the provision of training aid e pecially in connection with resuscitation. A number of devices were tudied and advice given to the manufacturers. A series of new wall chart were publi hrd and a film strip was made for the Association by the ational Dock Labour Board. In addition to the First Aid in the Home Wall Card which ha proved popular, it ~vas decided to issue a special wall-card covering "First Aid at Sea and In Inland Waters". This was expected to be published early in 1964.

The Association in co-operation with the other Voluntary Aid Societies gave a sistance to the Admiralty in preparing th.ei~· film o~ Emergency Resuscitation. Thi film proved an excellent trallllllg medlUm and the As ociation order d a number of copie which were in constant use on hire throughout the country. Various Association centres in England and Over eas purchased their own copies. Many Centres arranged public showing and pra.ctical demonstrations of Emergency Resu citation. Audience c?vered a wide :ange of or~anisa tions and included members of the Medical and N ursmg professlOns. Reports from Centres show expan ion in many areas .. As an example, Croydon on it 10th Anniversary h~d 253 mel~ber mal~~y representing local industry as compared with 68 III 1962. This enterpr~ ll1g Centre has established a mobile lending library to help those who WI h to follow-up their First Aid cour es by further study. It has become a local liaison channel for enquiries and has obtained recognition from the Local Education Authorities. The Post Office Ambulance Centre which celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 1962, continued to expand and added 150 branche to its already large total. An interesting innovat~on \~as a Poster Competition. The Preliminary First Aid Course was given III the Post Office for the first time and its use has been very popular. Many Centres reported a very wide variety of organisations which were helped by the loan of models or by special lectures and displays. A good example is the Rugby Centre which dealt with the Technical College, Rugby School Cadet Corp, the Churche , Mo~hers' Union, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, Young Farmers' and Young Wives' Groups. They also helped to man the St. John tent at the Royal Show and 0[ganised a bus for handicapped per ons. Another Centre, Selby, reported that in a special demonstration on Emergency Resuscitation over 1,000 people were taught and, as a result of an appeal, ample funds were provided to allow for the purchase ?f.a Norwegian training model. Harrogate also purcha ed a model and It IS in constant use in schools, hospitals, village halls, factories, offices, shops and youth clubs. It is encouraging that in addition to approaches from industry it has been possible to run courses for school teachers at college of Further Education, Colleges of Technology and Teacher Training Colleges. It has been noticeable how many Centres have been able to interest schools and youth organisations in First Aid. In London the scheme for providing Preliminary First Aid courses in Secondary Schools has been most successful and during 1963, 76 schools had courses giving a total of over 1,200 children trained. Some of the schools come under local Education Authorities besides the London County Council, and the idea is spreading. It is an example of happy co-operation between the St. John Ambulance Association, the Brigade and the school teachers. Besides the development in connection with schools and teac~ing establishments all Centres report close co-operation with Youth Orgallls ations and Youth Clubs. Additional bodies who have had courses or lectures in First Aid are the Bradford Pothole Club, Cave Rescue Organisation, Lifeguards, Nurses Training Schools, Sailing Clubs, Football Referees, the Rural Industries Bureau, Rotary. The Duke of Edinburgh's

Award Scheme als? enc<?urages young people .to take First Aid courses and gives them an lJ1centive to study allied subjects. The Worcester Centre reported that they had been asked by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to give a short intensive course on basic Fir t Aid to forty office worker who travel throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. The Leamington Centre also reported that they held a one-day course for Safety Officers of the Warwickshire Division of the Ministry of Agriculture. Considerable interest was aroused in other counties, a follow-up full course is being arranged so that some of the Safety Officers may obtain First Aid Certificates. It is encouraging to realise that since the Mouth-to-Mouth method of resu citation was introduced some 18 months ago about 400,000 men, women and children have had in truction in this method. In addition there will be large number who will have obtained some general experience in this method through public demon trations. Some Centre gave indications of other forms of service they were able to render which include co-operation with Home and Road Safety Committees, the provision of ir t Aid boxes on the roads or at the sea-side, Medical Equipment Services, "Sitting-in' Services, help for the aged and the provision of e cort to the sea, etc. The A sociation wa reprc ented by Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Drummond 011 a working party formed by the Royal College of Surgeons to prepare for the Convention on Accident Prevention and Life Saving, 1963. At the Convention held during Mayan excellent demonstration of First Aid was given by the apprentice of the Royal Army Medical Corp. In accordance \\lith the practice of the Depot the apprentices take the examination of the St. John Ambulance Association and obtain First Aid Certificates as part of their training. The A sociation received a request from the British Medical Association to consider an increa e in the fees paid to doctor conducting lecture on behalf of the A ociation. The A ociation agreed in principle, subject to similar agreement by the Home Office and the Ministry of Health with regard to Civil Defence and ational Hospital Service Reserve First Aid Courses. A survey of the finances of the ssociation wa carried out and it was decided that in order to meet the ever-increasing gap between expenditure and income the Headquarters fee (to be rede ignated Registration Fee) should be increa ed from 1 . 6d. per candidate to 3s. per candidate. This new scale came into force on 1st September 1963' its effect, therefore, has not yet become fully apparent. It is hoped, however, that it will enable the Association to relieve the Order of a fair part of the burden of the annual subvention, which it pays to maintain Association Headquarters. The Association was asked by the Ministry of Health to co-operate in the training of the g neral public in elementary first aid and nursing so that in case of emergency families would be enabled to care for them elv s and their neighbours until such time as help can be provided from the organised services. It was appreciated that many people have been trained through the Voluntary Aid Societies but for thi purpose simple training of t~e largest possible number of people i essential. Di cus ion continued durmg the year and the help of the Societies was sought in drafting a pamphlet which would be given to students who attend the course. The

courses con ist of nine one-hour se ion, four hour . of ~irst Aid and five hours of Home Nur ing. There would be no CXamll1atlOn at the end of the cour e . F e would be payable to doctor and nur e and also to in tructor and d mon trator . It i e ' pected that thi scheme will come into operation during 1964. The A ociation \ as very glad to welcome Mr. R. F. Herman, the St. John Training Officer for Fiji, who came to ngland with the aid of a British Council bursary. He \Va given a course in all a pect of St. John work' during the summer Mr. D. Aguda, who was to be appointed Headquarters Training Officer for Uganda was given a imilar Course. We are mo t grateful to all those who gave 0 much help in making these visit v orthwhile, e pecially to the Royal Army Med ical Corp who permitted both Mr. Herman and Mr. Aguda to attend the In trLlctors Course at A hvale, covering Fir t Aid and Ca ualty Simulation, the Metropolitan Police, London County Council Fire Brigade, the Post Office, Briti h Railway etc. Reference \ as made in the Report of 1962 to the" Fir t Aid in the Home" Wall Card; by the end of 1963, 104,000 copie had been sold. Interest continued to be maintained in it by 1edical Officer of Health and Local Education Authoritie as well as the general public who saw it at lectures and demonstrations. PUBLICATIO IS

First Aid Manual. It is expected that the new edition will be available not later than the end of 1965. Nursing Manual. The preparation of this book has progressed well and it will be published at the beginning of May 1964, so that it can come into full use in September. Anatomical Atlas. The Atlas was published early in the year and was well received. Among other indications of its value was a request from the Burma Red Cross Society for permission to use it in a Burmese translation. Competition and Casualty Make-up. This book, publi hed during the year under review, has proved to be of assistance to those organising competitions; the new rules were to be introduced at the beginning of 1964. COMPETITIO S

The Working Party formed to examine the question of National First Aid Competitions completed its work during the year and the second edition of the booklet on Competitions was publi hed during 1963. The usual National First Aid Competitions were held during the year. The number of teams comprising younger members was again noted, both in the preliminary and final events. Winning teams of Competitions held under the auspices of the Association were as follows:Competitions for Men: Organisation Police. . . . . . . . . Electricity Supply Ambulance Centre .

C Si~ce the formation of the Centre in Malta in 1907, 10,650 First Aid ~r~dicates have been granted and the figure for 1963 are in accordance WIt the average although they are less than in the previous year. It is

8 reported that there was no response. to the offer of Courses in subjects other than First Aid and Home Nurslllg. In Gibraltar the Centre wa approached by H.M . .

A committee of the A sociat~on was established i~ Famagusta and aloin Nico ia and both Committee have been taklllg steps to extend the work of the Association into all the rural areas within their districts. During the year two l?ode!s of ~esusci-~nne have been wid~ly used for demonstrations in conjUnctIOn wlth hOW111gS of film on Cardlac Resuscitation. During the year arrangements were made for two Cypriot subjects to attend the Oph~halmic ~o pita!, Jerusalem, for tr~atment. In one case with fund raised 111 Kyrema and m the other case wIth the help of Archbishop Makarios. There wa a most interesting example of the value of first aid training when two men, overcome by fu~es at.t~e bottom of a 60-ft. well were revived by employees of the HellenIc Mmll1g Company who had passed their first. aid examin~tion only ten days befor~. First Aid Classes have been contlllued at vanous chools and gymnasIa throughout the island and at the request of the Education A~thor.iti.es, Home Nursing classes were arranged for tudent~ at the N~rses Tral.n~ng School' the Greek Youth Council asked for help m presentlllg a televlSlon progra~e on accidents in the home, for which demo~strations .w.ere carried out by members of the FaD?-agusta Corps. In SPIt~ ~f poiltlcal troubles classes of instruction contmued and full appreCIatIOn of the value of First Aid was shown by a number of organisations and Government Departments. During the year the position in Ghqna. ~as maintained and int~re~t. in the work of the Association did not dlIDlDlsh, one of the factors limitmg progress was the need for greater resources. We were glad to hear that just before the end of the yea~ ~t was possible .to p~ovide a car for the Organising Secretary and Trammg Office.I. Th.ls. ~Ill make for greater efficiency and enable them to expand their actlvItI.es to .all parts ~f. the country. It was not possible to hold the Annual Flrst. Aid Compe.tltl?ns but it is hoped that these will be h~ld in 1964. Plan eXI.st for o~garusatlOn and special classes during the commg yea~ to cover hY~Iene, child welfare, and hygienic handling of food, as the NatIOnal CounCIl of Ghana Women is taking a keen interest in the activities of the Association. The Nigeria Police reported a successful year with ixty-seven First Aid classes being held. There were also four Lay Instructors' Courses, twentyseven persons passed for the first time, and eleven c~rtificates v:ere renewed. These Lay Lecturers are doing good work m dev~lopI~g. the Association's training activities. The Hon M. A. O. OlarewaJu, MI~s.ter of State for Niger:an Police Affairs visited the Southern PolLce Tralll~ng College and was shown demonstrations in First Aid by the College First Aid Team. The Nigerian Railways report good progress and that the response for new members to join classes was gratifying; apprentices who. e~ter industry are now expected to enrol as members of the Assoclatl~n. During the year a ceremony was held to which members of the pollce

9 and ports authori~y were invit~d,. there were First Aid demonstrations which raised considerable publIc mterest. In Sierra Leone negotiations with the authorities in the industrial area t Willington were completed but the workmen were unwilling to attend ~lasses after closing hour, 4.30 p.m., as a re ult .cl.asses have r:ot been as regular in that area a had been hoped. The Mlllistry of SOCIal \Velfare organi ed a training cour e for Voluntary Lecturers and the St. John Headquarters Officer was invited to giv:e talks and demon~trati~ns on First Aid to the members. Further a senes of lectures on FIrst Aid was given to men who attended the course for Administrative Officers during the months of January and February; t~i was successful and much appreciated. In the same month a talk was gIven to three hundred students of the Bo Government School on the importance of First Aid. The boys were most keen and expres ed a willi~gne?s to be taught Firs.t ~id. . There i a lack of Lay Lecturer III SIerra Leone and thIS IS bemg attended to with particular reference to the Police Force. The work of the A ociation in Kenya has been handicapped by a shortage of Lecturer and development during the year was less than in the past. Everything i being done to give th.e Ass~ciation work greater publicity and to encourage more people to give active support. In order to meet the present situation a major reconstruction of the administration was commenced and it is hoped that this will show improved results in the future. The Sudan Railways continued to organi e First Aid classes during the year and ninety-six candi~ate were exami~ed. Mr .. Nasr A~med, t~e First Aid In trLlctor contmued to keep alIve con lderable mterest m First Aid in the Railway and hi help is much appreciated. In Uganda, 1963 wa a bu y perio~ with numerous clas es b~in.g unde.rtaken in First Aid and Home Nursmg both Adult and Prellmlllary, III various parts of the country help given by Lay Lecturers in making this pos ible wa valuable. In order to ensure that there wa an ample supply of Lay Lecturers a large course wa held at the Police Training School where thirty-two policemen and firemen from all over ganda attended. A further c.our e was held for Police Officer plu orne member of the general publIC. There were numerou call for Association cla es from Government Departments including the Fore try Department Public Works, etc. At the Ministry of Work School in Kampala all trainees were instructed in First Aid including Oral Re uscitation and during the Headquarters Officer's safari, Oral Re uscitation was demonstrated to various depots of the Electricity Board throughout the Territory. It i reported that one of the up-country staff who had been present at the H.Q. Officer's demon tration had in fact t\ 0 weeks later performed it on one of his colleague who had become electrocuted, with the re ult that hi life wa saved. Tbis confirm the value of such imple demon tration . It i intere ting that the men in que tion could not under tand either Engli h or Luganda. This shows how much the people are able to grasp even if they cannot read, speak or fully under tand the language u ed by the In tructor. The work done by Mr. Pilbeam while he was acting a Headquarters Officer in Uganda was invaluable. In Aden the activities of the St. John Ambulance Association were in the main concentrated on the Aden State Police Force, the Federal

National Guard and young people wor~ing under the Duke of Edin. bur h's Award Scheme. Succe sful can~ldate from the two f?r~es men· tion~d were pre en ted with their ~ertrficate by the Commls loner of P r t ecial parade. It was declded to pre ent an open challenge cup toO ~~~~~e f~terest in the Association work. The trophy was subsequently won by the Police. . In Mauritius courses in. ~nstru~tion ,were gIven to members o~ the Police Force and the MUlllclpal Flfe Bngade, there was also a course at the Loreto Convent and the Royal College. . . agam ll1creased as I n C e},I071 the number of certificates and, award S' h I t l' compared with 1962. The Centre was prepann~ a 111 a ese ra~s atlOn of h F t Aid Manual and it was hoped that thIS would be published ~arly fn e 19~J. Copies of the Tamil tran la,tion we~e purchased from In~l~ so that there \ ould now be manu,al, 111 sufficIent l~nguages to faCIlItate further traininO' e pansion. A tra111mg model was gtven ~y Headquarters in London and another model was given by a C<?mpany 111 c,:eylon, They were in steady use and a number of, demonstratlOns were given to large · The year was an encouragmg one and the remark of Mr. J. p, au d lences. , , f H ea lth'm d'lcate d Ob eyesek ere , Par liamentary Secretary of. the , Mml try 0 ' t d b h how much the services of the AssociatlOn were apprecla e y t e Government. In Hong Kong there were further increa es during t~e year, the nun:ber of certllcates and awards issued beiI?-g 4,742. The certlfica~es were gamed by Factory Workers, Teachers, Poitce, Bank Guard" Pnson Staffs ~nd members of the general public. This steady growth 1 most ,encouragmg and shows how the Centre has been able to reach so many dIfferent parts of the community. " Nineteen hundred and sixty-three was an eventful year ~n .Mal~ya WIth the inauguration of Malaysia in October and the ASsoCtatlOn ,m Perak celebrating its Silver Jubilee in July, when H.H, Sulta~ o~ Perak mspected a large parade and opened new extensions to the!'- soclatlOn Headquarters building, In the evening there was a success~ul dmner followed by a dance for over a thousand guests and high officlals, a cheque f?r $4,600.was handed to His Highness. The number of a~ards and certificates ga~ned was 5,030 compared with 3,739 for the prevlO~s year. For the first tIme, an Occupational First Aid Course was orgamsed and twenty members obtained certificates. A refresher course in nursing was al 0 held and twenty-five nurses qualified as Lay Lecturers; further such refresher courses are planned. Regular classes were conducted for Lay Lecturers in Penang Perak Negri Sembilan, Malacca, Kelantan and Sela~gor. This will e~able f~rther courses to be organised for the rural populatIOns. It is reported that one of our members, while on his way to Head· quarters saw the body of a girl being carried away by the current of a swollen ~iver, at personal risk he swam to her and .broyght her unconscious body to the bank. He rendered Oral ResuscltatlOn and she was revived. This is the first time in Malaya tha.t o?e of our members has saved a human life by this method of resuscltatlOn. . In Sabah the Association organised a special recruiting dr~ve an~ FIrSt Aid week activities throughout the. State. l\ppeal for finar:cIal assistan~~ proved successful. This was particularly Important as It enabled} Association to provide funds for the purchase of household goods or

twenty families who .lost evcryth~ng in floods in Tuaran, they were also assisted by a collectlOD of clothmg. In a landslide in Sandakan when two houses were destroyed and seven inhabitan~s killed, a chil~ was rescued a.n d revived by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After the dl astrous floods m Sandakan further funds were given for the purchase of clothing and supplies for the flood victims. There was a ucce sful competition and teams from Papar, Labuan, Sandakan and Jesselton competed for the First Aid Challenge Cup presented by the Countess of Brecknock. Both cups were won by J esselton teams. In Fiji over 1,385 men, women and children were trained and examined by the Association. There were seven more cla se than in the previous year and there were indications of the developing appreciation of the value of Fir t Aid . Cour es are organised for the Armed Forces, the police, New Zealand Air Force, Fiji Airways, Schools, Colleges, Guides and Scout, and the general pUblic. The South Pacific Game held in Suva were a very great occasion and the knowledge of First Aid and ursing, displayed to the fourteen territories repre ented, received favourable comment from the injured, the officials and the spectators. The resuscitation model toured many areas in Fiji and some 3,800 children, mill workers police and army personnel, teachers, dock workers and villager were taught oral resuscitation. Plan are now being made for the model to go to outlying i lands and remote villages in 1964. Visual aids were introduced more and more at the various Association's classes, and proved very popular. Some of the charts have been translated into the Fijian and Hindi language and talk were given on the local radio. The Order agreed to pre ent to iji a Land Rover to enable the Training Officer to get to more distant parts of the island, it is hoped that this will arrive in Fiji in the early part of 1964. In Bahamas there was little training activity but recruitment has started again with the Police and men are undergoing training in First Aid. There was a demon tration in oral resuscitation and student nurses in the hospital are now taught thi method. Bermuda showed a very considerable increase in the number of First Aid Certificates and awards gained, the grand total being 602 a compared with 375 in the previous year. Activities in British Guiana continued in spite of difficult conditions and the number of certificates and award gained was greater than in the previous year. There were a good num ber of both Adult and Preliminary First Aid and Nur ing cour e and an encouraging number of people took the examination . In Jamaica the South-East Centre reported a very successful and encouraging year with 778 certificates and award being gained as compared with 510 in the previous year. The certificates were presented at public functions by leading members of the community and good support was received on these occasions from press radio and television stations. First Aid Courses were arranged for employees of companies, the response w~s excellent and included employees from a Bauxite Company and an 011 Refinery. As a re ult of the course a cIo ed divi ion of the Brigade wa formed by the Bauxite Company, and there are high hopes of one being formed at the refinery. Jamaica North-East were very successful in their fund-raising activities and organised public presentations of certificates in

vanou part of the district. The C~ntre has been able to. repl~nish its hurrican tore, they hoped to receIve mor.e regular dona~lOns 111 order to continue to e pand their work, as at the time of the hurncane, work is often hampered by road bei~1g blocked, it. is very impor~ant to ensure that there are Fir t Aid worker 111 a many village as po Ible. The Police Centre continued the training of it own personnel but also helped outsid by arranging lecture for a cl.a . of secondary and primary school teacher in mouth-to-mouth resu cltatlOn. Throughout the year training continued for Lay Lecturer in Oral Resu citation. The model Resusci-Anne was u ed both at Headquarters and throughout the island. The fiaure for the year howed an increase of more than 200 certificates and a~ard compared with the previous year. The Jamaican Prison Department organi ed their Fir t Aid course and Lay Lecturers from the prisons as i ted with training for other centres. an~ of!~anis~tions. An encouraging number of members took re-eXam1l1atlOn 111 FIrst Aid. In Grenada circulars were sent to many people throughout the island who were con idered to be likely to be candidates for membership and the Chairman of the As ociation at the invitation of the Principal of Presentation College addressed the audience on the occa ion of the Annual Speech Day of the College. The response 0 far has been fair but more is hoped for. In St. Vincent training continued and five candidates received their certificate after pas ing the Lay Lecturers examination. This will greatly help the expan ion of training in the future. In Trinidad and Tobago the po ition wa able to be maintained and a good number of First Aid certificate were gained through the year. A special item of interest wa the number of candidates who took reexamination in Advanced Nursing. Lay Lecturers have had another good year of training. Classes were organi ed at a Boy' Indu trial School and a Mothers' Club took a course in Home ur ing. As a re ult of training received from the Association, Divi ions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade were formed in the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission and also in the Prisons Department. TRA SLATlO S

The Royal National Institute for the Blind has published a translation of the Association's Preliminary Manual of Home ursing. They have also prepared a translation of the Preliminary Manual of Child Care. This has not yet been published but will appear if there are sufficient orders. We much appreciate the co-operation of the Royal National Institute of the Blind in this matter. Wark has proceeded on the Sinhalese translation of the First Aid Manual and blocks were lent to the Centre by the Stores Department. Publication is expected early in 1964. A Zulu translation was duplicated at Pietermaritzburg for local use. A translation of the First Aid Manual was prepared in Malay and it is hoped it will be published in 1964. APPOI TME TS

REPORT ON TII

BRIGADE AT HOME

"We live in deed not years." (Philip James Bailey) Thi quota tion from a 19th century poet make , r feel, an appropriate introduction to my report ror 1963. Tn the Brigade it i our service to the public, with it achievement , ucce . e and problems, that matter. The completi n of one more year in 0 long a hi tory, is of it elf relatively unimportant. What J believe we can report, i that OUf service to the public ha been maintained , and our problem have been . tackled with vigour' ometime doubtle we have railed , but at lea t it has not been [or lack of energy or enthu ia m on the part of tho e concerned. A , unfortunately mu t be expected in an organi ation the size of the Brigade, we I e each year through death a few of tho e tal wart who have done 0 much for u over the year. Since, however, details of their devoted and invaluable ervice have already been recorded in the Review and el ewhere only mention of our ad 10 i made here. In 1963 they included: Mi Margaret McClaren Superintendent-in-Chief of Canada; Colonel ir lame leeman , a former Chief-Commissioner Over ea ; Mr. H . Langley lone , ommi ioner and later County Pre ident, Hert[ordshire ; and Mr. H . J . Wriggle worth a former Bri gade Secretary and afterward Man age r of the tore Department. lRL GTfI

The Surgeon-in-Chief reports as follows: Once again there has been an increase in the number of Bri ~a Surgeons. I welcome the number of younger members of the professlOr, while regretting the loss of some of our more experienced colleagues dl ~ to age or transfer to administrative posts ; particularly I regret the los~ c Dr. Stewart as District Surgeon for London , while welcoming his appom ment as P.M.O. to the St. John Ambulance Association, an appointme, • which will maintain the essential links between the Medical Departmen of the Association and Brigade. Mr. G. Craft's resignation due to ~h., increasing pressure of work in the Association was also accepted WIt regret. He has for many years been a tower of strength in keepin~ th Department's records and organising our conferences with an effiCIency for which he is well known throughout the Brigade. In future Mr. C Kirkham will be looking after both these duties and has already show him self more than capable of shouldering this additional load. During the year effort have been made to emphasise the greate importance of the practical rather than the theoretical side of the. ,:"or of the Brigade, in routine training, in examinations and in comp~tl~l ? n, The necessity of adequate equipment especially for Nursing DlVI Slor ha been stressed. Tntere t in Re uscitation has continued, and many call have bee made on the Department for lectures and demonstrations ; my copy (l "The Pulse of Life" ha been lent to many counties; the benefits of t!inten ive training in thi subject are clear from the large numb~r of cas reported in which the new method has been uccessfully applted . The Annu a l Surgeon Conference wa held at Buxton: though .t e atte ndance was lower th a n I could wish, valuable ideas were forthcolTI lr r.

UAL R EPORT OF THE COMMISSIO ER-J -CHIEF

CIVIL DEFE CE

In the changing pattern of Civil Defence there remains the difficult )roblem of maintaining public interest, but it is still the Brigade' policy upport this activity of citizenship. The Home Office has continued to allot us vacancies on short Senior ) fficers Courses at the Civil Defence Staff College, which have been most aluable in building up this si de of the Brigade's work. In addition, a Jne-d ay Course at the Civil Defence Staff College, Sunningdale, entirely devoted to the Brigade, took place on 26th January, 1963. De pite xtremely bad weather, eighty members of the Brigade from all over the ountry attended an interesting and instructive day. CADETS

The Annual R a ll y in 1963 took place at Cheltenham on 13th July. gain we were honoured in having H.R.H. Princess Margaret to take this; during the afternoon she inspected the three thou and Cadet on parade and conducted an Enrolment Ceremony. The interest and vitality of St. John Cadets continue to be a ource of encouragement to us all and as has often been stre sed, if an organisation is not to stagnate it need s the enthusiastic influence of the young. The help of Cadets to the sick, handicapped or elderly ha shown a remarkable degree of voluntary service. Moreover, undoubtedly a trong sense of respon sibility prevail in Cadet Divisions, on which both Officer and . . .adets are to be congratulated. Cadets have also been prominent in sisting adult member on public duties within the limits impo ed by e Brigade. On many other occasions, during the ordinary course of eir day-to-day life, they have helped those in immediate need. In the field of courage, rescues from drowning, effective first aid and presence of mind have frequently been displayed such as, to mention only a few, by Cadet Raymond Thompson of Londonderry, who climbed , at great personal risk to him self, down a forty-foot cliff to go to the re cue of another boy who had fallen down and suffered evere injuries; by Cadet f,ergea nt J. Parker of Peterborough, who re cued a yo ung girl who had r t into difficulties whil st wimming and ub eq uently applied artificial res piration; and overseas by Cadet Alva de Freitas in Grenada who ccessful1y carried out an almost identical re cue. To the e are coupled r umerous cases of uccessful first aid in emergency, where good training () d cool heads have been of great value. Cadet activities are not, however, only confined to fir t aid work. /> dventure training and camping have an important place in the Divisional r ·ogramme and are largely based on :(a) The Brigade Ca mp at Bexhill , which wa atte nd ed by 1,049 camper between 20th Jul y a nd 24th August; once more an increa e on the previous year. Forty-five Camping Warrant and 4 Quartermastering Certificate were i ued- agai n an appreciable increa e. rn addition mo t countie also run Cadet Camps which are well attended. (b) "Commando' type exerci e in whi ch the Bri gade in Birmingham i e pecially prominent. Thi county i in the proce of tarting up a weekend training centre in Snowdonia for thi particular type or activity.
