REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

THE REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL FOR THE YEAR 1964 The Chapter-General has the honour to submit to Members and Associates of the Order its Report for the year 1964: A NUAL FESTIVAL OF THE ORDER The Festival was held on Saturday, 27th June. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Crypt of the Grand Priory Church by the Rt. Rev. K. E. N. Lamplugh, Bishop of Southampton. The General Assembly was held in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House by kind permission of The Right Hon. The Lord Mayor, Sir James Harman, G.B. E., T.D. The Commemoration Service was as is customary, held in the afternoon in St. Paul' Cathedral the sermon being preached by the Bishop of Southampton. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs attended in State. RE EPTIO OF KNIGHTS On the 21 t October His Royal Highness The Grand Prior held a Reception and Investiture of Knights at St. James's Palace. Fifty-eight Knight were invested. ORDER SERVICE AT WORCESTER A rno t impre ive Order Service wa held at Worcester Cathedral on Sunday 11 th October. It was arranged by the St. John Council for Worce ter and urrounding co untie participated. The Lord Prior, Executive Officers and a delegation of Members of Chapter-General attended and the Lord Lieutenant, President of the St. John Council for Worce ter, wa al 0 pre ent; the Cathedral being full. Following the Service there wa a March Past of units of the St. John Ambulance Brigade- the alute being taken by the Lord Prior. A Service of a maller kind, though not without its interest, was held at the Church of St. Mary, Sompting in Su sex, on the 5th JUly. The purpo e of the ervice wa to commemorate the tran fer to the Order of the Advow on of the Benefice of this Parish, which had been previously held by the Knight Ho pitaller in the Nliddle Age. FOREIG AFFAIRS It will be recalled that over the la t few year meetings have been held between repre entative of the Venerable Order and of the Johanniterorden of Germany with it S, iss A ociation, and the Order of st. John in the Netherland and weden which have culminated in the Signature of a "Convention of Allia nce" between the e Order directed towards the promotion of clo er a ociation between them and a prospect of cooperation in active work. A further conference between representatives of these Order wa held at the Castle of Bubikon in Switzerland on the 26th September, the Lord Prior, Bailiff of Egle and Secretary-General being pre ent on behalf of the Venerable Order. Matter of common intere t to the Order were di cu ed, including the po ibility of e tabIi hing closer contact with the International bodie concerned with humanitarian work which are e tabli hed in Geneva and it wa decided that, with thi end in view, another meeting hould be held in 1965 with

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

the venue in Geneva. A small Secretariat was established. Baron Helmuth von Graffenried, Knight Commander of the Swiss Association was elected Chairman of the Conference in place of the late Baron de StUrJer his predecessor in that office who had played a leading part in the bringing together of the Orders. OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT

Over the pa t decade the Order ha been primarily concerned with the encouragement and development of the work of the As ociation and the Brigade in Commonwealth countries. One mean of doing so ha been the appointment of St. John Headquart~r Officer an~ such Officers. w~re working during 1964 in the West Indies, Uganda Slerre Leone, Nlgena , Sabah and Cypru . Another mean has been the establi hment of St. John Councils and during the year under review tep were taken towards the establishment of two new Councils in Zambia and Malawi re pectively. A new aspect in the Overseas sphere i the need to mo~ify . the truct~re and organization of St. John work to meet the new con tl,tut1On.al r~qulr~ ments of countrie achieving Independence. The Order s poliCY m thl respect has been to foster a wider degree of local autonomy. o.n. the part of Councils and envolve on them greater control over the actlvltle of the Foundation. It i most gratifying that the general experience i that the Independent Governments of the Over ea Territorie welcome and encourage the good work of the Foundations which indeed provide ~ va luable reinforcement of local health and social ervice in tho e countne . CYPRUS

One especial venture in the Over ea field was the action taken in partnership with the British Red Cro s Society to e tablish a Commi Lon for the relief of distress caused by internal trouble. Immediately before Christmas 1963 fighting broke out bet\': een the Greek and Turkish communities in Nico ia and quickly spread throughout the island . So intermingled are the two comm unitie that the country quickly came to resemble a patchwork quilt of eparate population group . o movement was possible between the different group, and normal trade and the distribution of food stuff and other neces itie of life came to a standstill . Serious shortages quickly made them elve felt and it became evident that relief must be organized by some independent out ide body who e members were not personally involved in the di pute, and who might therefore, be allowed to move freely throughout the country. The International Committee of the Red Cross were unable to undertake thi duty and so a British Red Cross and St. John Relief Commi sion was formed on the 10th February. Volunteers from the Order and from the British Red Cros Society quickly responded to the call and within a few days some 18 or 20 per ons had been flown to Cyprus. There they were formed into a headquarters organisation and seven mobile teams under the control of Mr. J. . G . Coles, a County Staff Officer of the Brigade from Oxfordshire, and a sumed control of all relief measures in the island . The whole operation wa controlled from London by a committee under the chairman hip of Sir Patrick Renison, K .C.M.G. , Vice-Chairman of the British Red Cros Society and a Knight of the Order.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

The membe.rs of this Commission are ~es~rving. of the highest praise. Tn the follow.mg fiv.e months the CommIss1On gamed a reputation for acc~~ate and ImpartIal assessment of relief requirements, for devoted and untmng duty, f?r great patience under mounting difficulties and on more than one OCCaSI?n for fear~ess ac~ion in the face of danger: But from .Apnl ?nwards It was mcreasingly difficult for the Commission to ~perate Impartially, and both the Order and the Red Cross became ~nx1Ous . that the duty they ~ad assumed should be undertaken by some mternat10nal bo~y of the hIghest status an d authority which would be better. able to withstand the pressures from which the Commission was .uffe:Ing. It finally became evident that only the United Nations Organisat10n Itself could fill the need, and on the 26th June the Commission handed over its respon ibilities to them. GRA 0 PRIORY CHURCH RE-BUILDING FUND

1t is gratifying to note. that the target of £20,000, set by the second Appeal for the Gran.d Pnory Church Re-building Fund, has now been reached . There remaInS , however, £7.900 to be raised to clear the debt on the Church . OBITUARIES

It is with regret that the death i~ recorded of Major Alastair Urquhart, D.S.O. , who had held the ExecutIve Officer of Director of Ceremonies from 1957 having previously served for many years as Assistant Director of Ceremonie . Colonel Philip Catt was appointed to succeed Major Urquhart as Director of Ceremonies. .The death al 0 occurred in November 1964 of Major-General J. M. Kirkman, C.B ., C.B . E. , who had held the office of Commission-in-Chief of the Brigade from 1956 until ill-health forced hi retirement in 1962. LIFE SAVI G AWARDS

Life Sal'ing Medals in Bronze Life Saving Medal in Bronze were awarded to Mr. James K. Eshun (Fir t ~id Dre er) and Mr. IssakaWangara (Section Foreman) of the AshantI. Go.Jdneld Corporation, Ghana, in recognition of the part they played In cIrcum tance of great danger in rescuing a party of minen, who had been trapped by a fall of the roof in the mine where they were working. Certificate of Honour A Certificate of Honour wa awarded to Constable George Ogilvie Wynd of the Canadian Pacific Railway Police, who at great personal risk endeavoured un uccessfully to save a woman who had thrown herself from the quay into Montreal harbour.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

REPORT OF THE HOSPITALLER AND HOSPITAL COMMITTEE FOR 1964 including the REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL SUB-COMMITTEES

The Hospitaller and the Committee of the Opht~almic H.ospital have the honour to submit their seventy-third report covenng the elghty~ econd year of the Hospital for the information of H.R.H. The Grand Pnor and the Chapter-General. GE ERAL

A year of peace and prosperity in Jordan ha b.een a year of increasingly heavy work and of achievement at ~he Ho pltal. We have also been exceptionally bu y in London prepanng for the Appeal for new fund which was mentioned briefly in our Report for 1963 . . Last year we had to report a mall drop in the number of pat.l~nt attendances at the Hospital; and we predicted that the e would tablh e around 80,000 per year in future. But thi pred.iction ha . b~en utterly confounded by figures of 105,000 this year. 0 I~gle cOnVlllClll!? rea on is forthcoming to explain thi great increa e. It 1 per~ap at.t nbutable chiefly to the rising tandard of living in the Arab cOLl.n tne , \ hlch allo:-vs people to pay more attention to their he.al~h and permlt thel~ more ea Ily to make the journey to Jerusalem. But It I rea onable. to .believe t,hat the growing fame of the Ho pi.tal ha . omething to do :Vlth lt. Certalllly :-ve have noticed this year an lllcrea lng number of patient. from. countne other than Jordan; 282 came from Syria 166 from audl ArabIa and 113 from Iraq. . Another thermometer which is urel y ignificant i the record of appltcations for admis ion. These have more than doubled in the Ja t. three years. Here is proof, if any were needed , of the value of our Ho pltal to the Arab countrie . The number of admissions ha also lightly increa ed, but we are of course, limited by the number of bed s avail ~ble; . and the . number ~f operations has exceeded 6,000 for the fir t time In our hi. tory . Thl represents about 23 operations on each working day and 1. an effort only exceeded by such vast ophthalmic ho. pitals a Moorfields m London. Great credit is due to the Warden and hi S staff who e effort have made this possible. RESEARCH

By the end of the year plan~ were far adyanced for the trial of the trachoma vaccine in Iran, a project to be carned out by. staff partly from the Medical Research Council and partly from the Institute of Ophthalmology of the University of London, with t~e enthusiasti~ supp<?r~ of.the Iranian Government. In the expenses of thIS the Order IS partIClpatlllg. The population among which the research team is to work is being surveyed by a team of experts from the I rani~n ~inistry of HeaJt~ under Professor Mofidi of the Department of EpIdemiology and Para It<?log~, living quarters and laboratories are being provided, and everythlllg 1

ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL OF JERUSALEM

bein~ prep~red so that our research work can start in April 1965. As mentIOned III our Report of last year, it is hoped that as a result we will be able to make ~)Ur hospital the centre of an anti-trachoma campaign throug~out the Mlddle E~st. In. preparation for this we are now proposing to fU~llIsh our laboratones wlth the required apparatus, while Dr. A. Tarazl, f:om the Augusta Victoria Hospital, is acting as our honorary pathologlst. HOSPITAL COMMITTEE

We are happy to record the appointment to the Committee of Professor Sir ~h~rles Dodds, M.V.O., F ..R .S., the President of the Royal College of ~hyslclans. Professor ~odds Joined us in May and we are very glad llldeed that the CommIttee has the benefit of his wisdom and experience. HOSPLT AL STAFF

Our thank are once again due to our staa-in Jerusalem who so cheerfully tackle uch a formidable programme of work. That they are able to achieve so much and yet to retain their enthusia m and good humour~nd their health- is due in no small part to the inspiring example which IS set by our Warden , Dr. Boase. He himself works longer hours than anyone and seem able to meet an exhausting programme for months on end without ill effect. He is surely guided by the maxim: "il n y a d'autre bonheur que de donner de son mieux." Indeed the tone of our Hospital ha been largely et in recent years by Dr. and Mrs. Boase. It is a tone of hard work and enthu ia m, of sati faction in the knowledge of duty well done and of determination to give of one's best to people who are so tragically in need of help . Our sympathy goes out to Dr. Budeiri who suffered a great loss in the death of hi iter in December. He has had another busy year rendered more difficult by hi anxiety on her behalf. A u ual there have been many change amongst the other surgical staff, mo t of whom corne to Jerusalem for a period of one year or less' these have been detailed in the Warden s Report. We are particularly happy that the Services continue to second officers to u . they make very happy member of our community and no better field for the practice of the surgery of the eye could be found for them. The international nature of our staff has been exemplified during the past year by the acqui ition of an Australian surgeon and an American, the latter sent under the au pice of the Wa hington Eye-bank. Most interesting of all is the pre ence of the fir t Arab woman doctor on the staff; she is al 0 the fir t of her sex to become an ophthalmic surgeon in Jordan, and a very capable urgeon, as well a a very delightful person, he i . Our Matron, Mi Blewitt, enjoyed a long holiday in Canada during the summer and returned refreshed to her dutie in Jeru alem. The Sisters of the staff are till mainly maintained by appointments from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, and we are again greatly indebted to that hospital and it Matron , Mi MacKellar for their interest in our hospital and the heJp they give it in this vital way. Under this British staff the Arab nur es and the Nursing School have had another flourishing year. It will be noticed that the Ii t of taff members printed earlier in this Report record the names of more A i tant Surgeons and Nur ing Si ters

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL OF JERUSALEM

than in previous years. This arrangement has been adopted in order ~hat a proper record should be made of all tho~e who have served the Hosp~tal, some of whom, who arrived or who left III the course of the year, mIg~t otherwise pass unmentioned. Although m.ore names are. shown than.m previous years yet the numbers at the HospItal at anyone time has rem amed the same. PROPERTY OF THE ORDER

We have to record thi year the ale of the Old Hospital on the Bethlehem Road in Israel. . h' Members of the Order may feel ad that the Order has p~rted WIth t ~ property which was our home in Jerllsalem from 1882 untIl 1948,. b~t It was right that we should do so. We have r:ot ?een able to u e the budding at any time ince the partition of Pale tme !n .1948~ when they were left immediately on the Israeli ide of the ArmIstIce Lme; for a number. of reasons we could not even accept rents from the quatter \~ho occupIed them. This position appeared unlikely to alter 0 lo~g a relatIOn between Israel and the Arab States were unchal1:ged, and It. was ~rong t?at 'Y-!e should allow a con iderable sum of capItal to be tied up llldefimtely 1ll this way. When the Israeli Government made a very rea onable offer for the property earlier this year we were therefor~ happy to conclude the sale. The proceeds were owed to the Order, \ hlch orne year ago ga.ve an interest-free loan to the Ho pital and R~search Fund on the ecunty of this property; this debt has been repaId, and the Order ha been generous enough to transmit the full urn back to our Fund a a contribution towards the new Appeal. FI A C[

Despite every care our expenses have again ris~n lightly thi ye~r. Our bills for food electricity and water, and for maintenance and repaIr of the Hospital fabric increased by a gro s amount of £2,700' . and the additional cost of the new alary scales for Jordanian taff which were adopted on the 1 t October, 1963 amounted to a further £ 1,600. "The. e increases were only partially off et by a number o~ small economle In other recurrent items. Indeed we can see now that III the fou~ ~ull year since we occupied the new Hospital our expenses have been rlsmg at an average rate of £2 500 or 4 % per year. . . . We hope it will be agreed that in the light of the t.ea?dY n mg co t of living from which Jordan is in no way exempt thiS 1 a very m~dest incre~se. But nevertheless it is one we cannot affo~d for our expenditure on the Hospital alone is already mo:e than our Income. M~reover . the Research Campaign, with the hopes It now hold out of pu.ttmg us In a position to make a real advance in the con~rol of trachoma III the not so distant future, urgently demands our attentIOn. . . The Appeal which we have decided to launch m May 1965 IS therefore very necessary. We calculate tha~ we need £ 1 million in order to ens.ure the financial security of the HospItal for the next few yea~ , to give the Research Campaign the sinews it needs, and to be able. Without delay to make use of the trachoma vaccine, when it becomes avaIlable, for a great: immunization campaign in the Middle East. But when we decided to launch the Appeal we could not have foreseen

how very unfavourable conditions would be in 1965 for raising money for chanty,. howeve~ worthy the cause. Indeed we could hardly have struck a more dlfficul~ tIme. But we must go on, for it is unthinkable that this g~eat enterpnse of ours should be allowed to flag. We have many good ffIends all over the world and we ask them all to help us to raise the ~oney we ne~d. We are striving to bring the gift of sight to millions.

In addItIOn to providing necessities such as linen and nurses' uniforms and ~l?thing for indigent patients, they allow the hospital to provid~ amenItIes such as are not easily included in the official budget, and thus add greatly to the spirit of our institution. These Sub-committees include the Linen Guild in London under the Presidency of H.R.H.

WARDEN'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1964 RETROSPECT

Fortune smiled on Jordan in 1964 and even the farmers had to ~dmit that it was an exceptionally good year ~.ith an abov~ average ramfal~. The year opened auspiciously with the VIS1~ to Jordan III Ja~uarYf of :IS Holiness the Pope; it closed somewhat ommously to the nOlse 0 sa r~~ rattling, and bursts of machine gun-fire ~m M,ount Scopus. Among t man di nit aries to receive the Pope on hIS arnval f~om Amman at the Da;asc~s Gate was our Hospitaller who braved the bitter weather .and ~e frightening pressure of the crowds to be present at the recep~ohn. B l~ Stewart concluded his visit and returned to London on January t . . u time flies in Jeru alem and it did not eern a year before yve .were welcommg him and Lady Duke-Elder back again ir.. December, thiS tu:n e for a longer stay by way of a recuperative re t. Some folk have stra~ge Ideas ofhw~a~.a recuperative rest should be. We can only hope t~at SIr Stewart a IS when he ot back to London; for he did not have It here. . . The L~rd Prior paid a most welcome visit. to the h~spltal ~n July. During his stay Lord Wakehur~t ~el~ a receptlO? at :vhlc~ he Illve ted Mrs. Barbara Ghattas with the mSlgma of a S~rvIllg SI te~ III ~he Ord~r. We congratulate one of our old Si ter on thiS honour, likewl e on t e birth of Tewfiq in ovember. H . I Sir Edwin Chapman-Andrews, Honorary ~rea urer of t~e 0 pI~a Committee spent a few days with us early III the year. ThiS gave h~m the opport~nity to familiarise him elf a befits a zealou ~re~ ~er, wli~ the internal working and financial ma~~g~ment of the h.o pita. e wou assure him that his promised retur~ :'lSlt I eagerly a.walted. In October the Sovereign and MIlItary Order (KnIghts of Malta) c~me to Jerusalem on prilgrimage, and a very fine spectacle they pre ~nt~ ~s the rocessed in mantles and regalia from Jaffa Gate to t e o . y Se;ul~hre. Is it too pious a hope that one day the ,(enerable Ord~r bwIlI undertake a similar pilgrimage? The Hospital was highly honoyre y a courtesy visit on the part of the Grand Hospitaller of the Sovereign Order Carl Wolfgang Graf von Ballestrem. l' There were many visitors to the Hospital during the year. Au t~.la was well represented by Mr. and ~rs. A . G. Hall from Melbourne, 1 s Jean Hussey from South AustralIa, Dr. and Mr . Selwyn- el on from . Sydney all members of the Order, and others. It w;s also a pleasure to receive a visit from Mr. and Mr . Keith Kane of the American Society of St. John. . It is to us always disappointing that of the lar~~ numbers ?f tour~sts and pilgrims who come from Britain so very few VI It the f:Iospltal. W en asked why this should be so some have replied that they dId not ~now. o~ the existence of the Hospital, or that it had any re!ll0te c~nnec~lOn Wit Britain and they have been surprised to learn of It rela~lOn hlp to t~e familia~ Ambulance and Brigade. We have even been mistaken for t . e Danish consulate because of the similarity of the two tla~s. Howeve~, III future we should not be exposed to these humiJiations~ for. It h~s n<;>w een decided that the Hospital is to be identified by havIllg ItS tItle m lar!?e letters on the side of the building adjacent to the ~ablu .Road (~~e mal~ entry road from the airport). This should at least g~ve. a hmt to VISitors 0 "English spoken here." But not everyone from Bntall~ passes by, and of those who did visit us we were very pleased to receive Barone s Lady

There seemed to be a steady stream of doctors coming and going during the year, .so t?at at one time or another ten different surgeons worked at the HospItal m 1964. Dr. Alf Fjordbotten holder of the Bunker Fellowship of. the International Eye-bank, left o~ May 1st. He is now settled in the UnIted State whe.re wewish hi~ ev~ry success. He was succeeded by Dr. Harry Caldwell III July, the mtenm three months being filled by Dr. Andrew Ferry, both of them Americans. The latter will be remembered fqr the ir:structive contributions he made to our clinical meetings. Early m the year we were fortunate in having Dr. Peter Watson seconded to u [rom Moorfields for three months. Though we tried to persuade h~m ~o stay on this was not to be; the problems of educating a young famtly In Jordan are really forbidding. Dr. Joe O'Sullivan, from Syd.ney, .S.~. j?ined us on May 25th. Quite apart from his professional attnbutes he IS umque as a member of the staff; he is a bachelor, a heaven ent gift to harassed hostesses. Dr. Andrew Rintoul left on June 19th to return to hi po t with the Royal Navy at Ha lar. The Navy has regained a very competent urgeon; we have 10 tone. Our pioneering Arab lady doctor, Sura el Aish is still with us and will be until she leave in September 1965 to take up a British Council scholarhip in London . Thi well deserved award will take her to Moorfields and the In titute o[ Ophthalmology in London where she will be working for the Diploma in phthalmology. To our sub-Warden, Dr. Khalil Budeiri, we extend our sympathy for the 10 s he ha ustained through the tragic death of his sister. Of the nur ing iter, two returned to Moorfields Eye Hospital and one became a full-time Jeru alem hou ewife. In their places we welcome three other from London. Our Matron, Mi s Ann Blewitt, spent a sabbatical leave of three month in Canada where she was able to establish contact with the ladie o[ the Linen Guild through the kindness of Mrs. Willis 'Connor. Three o[ the four student nurse who took the 1964 final examination pa ed; two 0 f them have a lread y go ne to Sa ud i Ara bia where their training should be of immense benefit to the many afflicted with eye di ea e in that country. Second-year tudents of general nursing at the Augu ta Victoria Ho pital in Jerusalem were each given one month's experience in ophthalmic nur ing at our hospital. Not only is this cooperation of con iderable advantage to the nurses in broadening the base of their training, but by introducing them to an unwonted aspect of nursing we hope that an occa ional one will feel the calt of St. John. We have continued to afford a three-month' course in practical ophthalmic nur ing to nur ing orderlies from UNRWA and from the Save the Children organization. One of the former was sent here from the Lebanon. Encouraging report have been received on their subsequent work in outlying clinic . Our enior theatre nur ing orderly, Ha an Abu Teen, was sent to London in October to receive practical in truction in the giving of anae thetics. He has r turned to u full of knowledge and enthu iasro. We would like to thank Dr. S. G. Shippard con ulting anae thetist to

Moorfields Eye Hospital, for his invaluable help in teaching him and for . being so kind to him while in London. Fresh ground was broken in ,the sun:uner by acceptlllg a final-year medical student from St. Thomas s Hospital, Londo.n, f~r undergr~?ua~e study in ophthalmology. It is gratifying that the U~lVe~slty: au.t hontles In England recognize St. John as an acceptable teaching lllstltutIOn for the purpose. The experiment was a success, so much so that other stud~nts have already applied and are being encouraged by the Dean of the medical school to do so . LADIES' JERUSALEM SUB-COMMITTEE

The honorary secretary, Mrs. A. J. Boa e, has contributed the following report. . . "The committee continues to work under the chamnanshlp o~ Mr.s. MacInnes and met nine times during 1964. There was an alteratIOn III membership owing to the regretted departure of Mr . Maitla~d and Mrs. Hamilton, who were replaced by Mr . Pullar and Mrs . ¥(Il~on whose husbands are, respectively, the Consul -General of Gre~t Bntam and the United States. The committee concerned it elf mainly wlth : (a) The recruitment of student nurses. This i still a difficult problem and one that will not be solved quickly. Despite many requests that the educational standard should be lowered the committee fully supported the Matron in her in i tence on quality rather than quantity where prospective candidate were concerned. (b) Sewing Guild. The bi-monthly meetings have been very well attended and a great deal of invaluable work for the ho pital carried out. (c) First Aid. In spite of her many commitments Mrs. Mad.nnes ~a able to organize a cou rse at the Y. W. C. A. All the elg.ht glr.l passed the examination and obtained the Government First Aid certificate. (d) 'Blind" Welfare. This work continue to e pand and to be increasingly appreciated by nearly 200 blind men, women and children living in the vicinity of Jerusalem and even as far ~orth as Nablus. Informal talks and concert were greatly enjoyed throughout the year, while the ummer picnic and Chri tmas parties saw record attendances.' STATISTICS

The quinquennial table shows some variation from other year. The fact that the number of surgical operations passed the 6,000 mark for the first time in our history is perhaps of interest. It is evident, however t~at we have really reached saturation point in this respect and fiu~tuatIOn round the present figures is to be expected in the future. There IS a real need for another operating theatre, for with only two theatres cases tend to be held up in a bottle-neck . ACK OWLEDGME TS

On this matter of wants and needs it behoves me to express our deep gratitude to the Californian branch of the American Society of St. John,

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1964 PROGRESS has been maintained during the year. It i intere ting to note the greater increase in the number of classes organized although the number of certificates gained ha not increased proportionately. This is some indication of the ability of our Centres to meet new needs in the community, whether arising from recent legi lation with regard to First Aid in Offices and Shops, or from increased interest among t the public. An encouraging feature in reports from Centre \Va the frequent reference to co-operation with other oganization in a variety of way , and in particular the close working between the S1. John Ambulance Brigade and Centres of the A ociation whether through a si tance by the provi ion of exp rienced in tructors for clas e , or by help on Flag Days, and in other fund raj ing activitie . Where thi e j t and the As ociation and the Brigade hare the ame premi es the re ult are more efficient service and greater benefit to tho e whom we all eek to help. A further element v hich appear in 0 many report is the teady demand for in truction and demon tration in Emergency Re u citation. This has provided not only the opportunity of bringing to many thou and a knowledge of how to save life, but al 0 introducing them to the \ ork of the Order of S1. John in thi and other field of activity. The ociation has been able to help Scout and Guide , Youth Club Women' In titute, Church Societie ,Student ur es, ub-Aqua Club among t a wide range of organi ation . The Association i now repre ented by a County Director in 27 Counties and we much appreciate all that they do to en ure th a t the Order and its Foundation can develop their variou function in balanced and proper proportion. The work done by the County Director in maintaining an efficient training orga ni zation i of imme n e value and makes increasingly pos ible the achievement of our o bj ect f e tabli hing Centres to cover aU part of the country. The value of Centre in providing a stimulus for the tudy of fir t aid and life a ving technique and facilitie for training has been proved by re ult , a nd I am therefore glad to report that at the end of 1964 we now have a total of 181 entre in ngland. The experiment in the North We t of ngland ha proved rno l ucce ful and has fully justified itself. The Regional Director, Mr. K . C. Cook ha established a very effective organi zation and , with the help of even Assistant Director each dealing \ ith their re pective area , the work of the Association has gone steadily forward. They have been abl e to form new Centres during the year and other are nea ring completion with inaugural meetings planned for early 1965. The succes" of their work is apparent in the intere t which ha been aroused and the support which has been received from Head of Departments of Local Government Service and leaders of other organi ations . As an example, in a borough with a population of ome 100,000 people, the following had agreed to join the Committee:"The Chief Education Officer, the Principa l of the College of urther Education, the Headmaster of a Secondary School , who is al 0 ecretary of the School Masters' Association , the Medical OOlcer of Health, the Chief Officers of Police, Fire, Ambulance, Civil Defence and Public

' FIrst AId tr~mmg In schools In the London area continues well. One hundred and nIneteen courses were organised in 1964. Of these 114 were cond~c.ted for the London County Council Education Authority and the remal.nmg. five \or other County Councils. Whilst the majority ~f classes were In . FIr t Ald, some schools have also had courses in Home Nursing and ChIld Care. The help and co-opera~ion received from members of London District, St. John Am~ula~ce B.ngade,. who act as instructors for these classes, has been out tandtng; 1D particular I would mention the work done by ~~ . .A. A. W. Weston, a. District Staff Officer. He co-ordinates this tralDJOg programme ~nd . glv~S many hours instruction at other schools on Emergency Resu cltatJOn, rncluding Benenden, where this trainino- has been greatly welcomed. 0 Man~ .

It 1 partIcularly encouraging that a a result of these courses In schoo~s . t.h ere have been enquirie regarding the po ibility of forming Cadet DIVI Ion of the Brigade. An intere ting development was the formation of a First Aid class at the Pontefract Paraplegic Centre of the Yorkshire Division of the National Coal Board.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

two new members of the City Fire Brigade also gained their certific~tes. A campaign is planned for 1965 to encourage members of the public to take First Aid courses. The Assistant Director-General visited Gibraltar in October and was able to meet members of the St. John Council and the Association Committee , as well as members of the Brigade. His report covered all aspect of the work of St. John. The Malta Centre reported a considerable increase in the number of First Aid Certificates gained in the year which is larg~ly due t.o cooperation with the Malta Civil Defence Corps; a further lI1crea e m the number of volunteers trained is expected for 1965. Other cour e are held for the Army Fire Service and R.A.F. per onnel. Di cus ions took place regarding the introduction of ~i.r t Aid in t?e sy~labu of Go~ernment schools and the scheme i recelvmg the con IderatlOn of the DIrector of Education.

In . M alal:vi . the main activity during the year was directed towards keepm~ eXl~tmg classes going. These were generally confined to the ~al~w] PoiI?e an~ Malawi Railways but there was also an active class wJt~ln the Fire Bngade of the Air Service Authority at Chileka Airport. ThIS latter class was presented with Certificat~s by Colonel Benyon, Contro,uer ~verseas, St. John Ambulance Bngade, when he visited !'1alawl dUfing May 1964. During the Malawi Independence celebrations 111 July 1964 the Centre organized six First Aid teams, consisting of four me~ and a leader to each. These teams attended all the various events whIch t~ok pl~ce between the 4th and 7th July, and although the fact of not havl.ng Bngade status precluded them from wearing uniforms they were unIformally dressed and wore Association arm bands. In. Zambia the Centre continued with its training activities and one speCIal aspe~t was the need for sufficient trained personnel to give help on the occaslO~ of the Independence celebrations in October. Apart from the Fl.ag. Day 111 July, no othe~ special activities were undertaken by the A soclatlOn. The Flag Day raised a record amount in Lusaka and was ati factory in Ndola. In Kenya training continued and the President the Minister for Social ervices and the Minist~r . for J:Iealth gave the Centre their support and encouragement. Fund-ralsmg stIll presents a serious problem. The Centre wa fortunate in having a most successful Flag Day but work is still re tricted by the availability of funds. In Tan::ania course were provided for essential services such as Port taff, Fire Brigade and Post Office, and instruction was given in many cho?1 . The w~rk ~one by lay-lecturer was most helpful in making this po lble. The hIghlight of the year was an exhibition that lasted a week and volunteer put in many hours training for this event. Demonstrations in re u citation wcre given in four languages using 'Resusci-Anne". Many thou and attended the exhibition and on the last day over 23 000 were e timated to be present. ' In Ghana a full programme in teaching and trainino- in First Aid was carried out with the encouraging result that there were ~lmost 300 awards more than in 1963, with a total of 1,069. [n the organisations where ir t Aid training had already been introduced, activities continued and new ground was broken \\ith the extension of training in the following ne" fields:Y. W.C.A. (Ghana); Ghanaian Italian Petroleum Company; Salvation Army Tema; ccra Polytechnic ; R. T. Bri coe (Motors)' A. J. Seward ( 0 metic Factory).

Jn igeria the Police ran 61 First Aid c1asse and 1,844 candidates gained certificate or re-e amination award. A number of Lay Lecturers certificate were renewed during the year and the standard of efficiency wa maintained. The help given by the lay lecturers was most valuable. The igerian Railway Corporation had a rno t successful year and 700 candidate were ucce ful in obtaining their certificates. As part of a pecial recruiting drive they had two cour es for lay lecturers and 25 candidate qualified for their certificate. There were a number of special ceremonie [or the presentation of Certificate all over the districts and effort were made to increa e their activitie in relation to other voluntary organi ation .

Police Force are now qualified First Aiders. The land rover presented to tbe Centre by the Order has proved of very great practical benefit and the frequency of visits to outlying settlements has been doubled. It was of particular use during the severe floods in March when 1,590 persons were transported in three days . On the occasion of the Silver Jubilee Celebrations, the work of the Association was brought to the notice of the public by means of radio, press, public displays and demonstrations. Visits were planned to factories , schools and organisations, explaining to them what the Association did. I would wish to express our appreciation of the work done by officers of the Centre and also by the Training Officer, Mr. R. F. Herman, in achieving these results.

The Centre in the Federation of J\Ja/aya had a mo t succe . sful year. and 3 556 candidates were ucce sful in obtaining First Aid Certlficate \ Ith a t~tal of 6 611 who gained either Certificate o~ o~her award , c.ompared with 5 630 in the previous year. More organJ atlOns and firm .are recognizing the value of having .traine~ First Aid. personnel on theIr . taff. Ten thousand copies of the FIrst AId Manual m . Malay were p~blI hed during the year and these Vvere greatly \ elcomed In Malaya and mother parts of Malaysia. In Sabah Branches were re- tarted in Keningau and B aufort and there \ ere courses in Fi[st Aid and ur ing in both place . ne.\ . !ltre had been et up in Kudat and training ha . ta[ted. Fund-r~I Il1g \\ a encouraged reaching a total of $24,000 of whIch $5,000 v,a given to L~buan toward the cost of a joint St. John-Red Cross Hut. Mr .

In Hong Kong 243 classes were held duri~g t~e year re ulting in 5, 61 candidates obtaining certificates or re-examinatIOn a~ ard , a compared with 4,743 in the previous year. A number of pecl~~ ceremonJe were held for the presentation of certificates and the po ItlOn held by tho e who presented the certificates is some indication ?f bot~ the l.mportance attached to the work of the Association and the vanety of ItS actiVItIes. The Commissioner of Labour is hoping to encourage 1,000 factory worker each year to join First Aid classes. At the Flag Day and the Annual Ball a total of $144,000 was raised. The Centre in Fiji continues to make teady progre and a t tal of 1 126 candidates were successful at examinations. Of the e, the bulk obtained adult or preliminary certificates. rn. addi~ion ~o the ~ full cour ~s, there were talks, displays and demonstratIOn Jl1 FI~ t Aid and .

In the Solomon Islands, 64 recruits received lectures in First Aid, given by a Fijian Trained Assistant Medical Officer from the Government Medical Services. Thirty-one men attended refresher courses but no examinations were held. It is hoped that further periods of instruction will be given in 1965 and that it will then be possible to conduct examinations for certificates. An enquiry for the First Aid Manual in French was received from the Community Educational Training Centre operated by the South Pacific Commi sion of tbe United Nations Trusteeship Council. Students from .many of the South Pacific Islands including Tahiti come to the Centre for a year's course which includes First Aid and Home Nursing. Training in the e subject is undertaken by the Fiji Centre on behalf of the Fiji Government. The Fir t Aid Manual in Frencb is used by those students who do not know Engli h Fijian or Hindustani.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE COMMISSIONER-IN-CHIEF'S REPORT The greater publicity now being given to first aid and health in general has led to an ever widening realisation of the scope of the Brigade's work and this has inevitably led to extensive calls on our services. These calls have been met everywhere with vigour and enthusiasm and I think we can claim that in 1964 much has been done. This does not mean that we do not have our problems or failings. I would like, therefore, to emphasise that in reporting where things have gone well I am not complacent about our shortcomings. STRE GTHS A D PUBLIC DUTIES

Detailed statistics of Brigade strengths are given in Appendices A and B which show that the number of members has increased overseas by 900 but fallen at home by something over 2,000, chiefly in Cadets. Although any decrease is a matter of concern, it was relatively small and less than in the previou year, which suggests that measures already put into effect to rever e the recent downward trend are beginning to produce re ults. In further support of these measures I intend the twelve-month period beginning September 1965 to be a Brigade Recruiting Year. Brigade H.Q. and Counties will, I know, gladly accept the extra work involved and T confidently expect their efforts will attract sufficient new member to en ure that any increa ed calls there may be on our services in the year ahead can be met without putting increased strain on present members, willing though they always are to shoulder extra loads. The total of ervice recorded for the Brigade at horne were:DUTIES (hours): England PubliC Dutle Tran port Dutie scort Dutie Ho pltal Dutie ur mg Aid . Other Duties . Total . On Public Duty.

The significant feature from these totals is the increase yet again in the number of cases treated, which over the year amounted to 50,000 (12 %) more than in 1963. Whether this was due to a greater incidence of cases or the wider realisation of our work as suggested above, is not easy to determine. The figures, however, speak for themselves in so far as expansion in this part of our service is concerned and show that an average of over 1,200 cases were treated daily. It has been cu tomary in the past to show here only the totals for

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

England and Northern Ireland since. Wales, as.a Priory, publish~s its own reports. It is evidently of greater mterest to gIVe the complete plctu.re for the Brigade at home and, with the conc.urrence of ~he Chlef CommIssioner for Wales, the figures for Wales are mcluded thIS year. THE BRlGADE IN ACTION

The duties which go to make up the above totals cover the whole field of First Aid, Nursing and Welfare. One of the most imp?rt~nt aspects of our work however is the day to day treatment of casualtles m the streets, home or factory by members who happen to be on the spot at the time of an accident. Prompt attention on these occasions freg. ue~tly prevent~ a minor injury, that might otherwise be neglected, develop~ng mt~ somethmg worse, or, where the injury is of a serious nature qUlck actlOn can do much to alleviate pain and as ist ub equent treatment by a doctor. Actions of this nature tend to be taken a a matter of course by our members and often are not reported, thu a vast volume of service goe unrecorded. Nor must it be forgotten how frequently effective fir t aid may result in saving day or week on the sick list with co.nse9.uent 1<;> of pay to the individual and loss of output to the o~ganl atLOn. whlch employs him or her. These are points often not sufficlently realLsed by employers and employees alike. . The broad pattern of duties is much the same th~oughout the Bngade and generally similar from year to year although m .some place .there are special requirements based on the nature and practIces of a particular area. For example: cliff rescues in mountain area marine \,: ork round the coasts and the many State function in London. It may, therefore, be more interesting to iUu trate this year the multiplicity and range of services rather than describing in detail pecific duties. The following are in consequence listed as a cro -section:Disasters:

Stemming from major accidents on Land, ea or in the Air. Help has included fir t aid, nur ing and relief measures for the home1es due to flood uch as at Darwen in Lancashire and in Fiji in 1964, and for survivors of overseas di a ter returning to this country. Emergency scheme are maintained at all levels so that action when required i put into effect in the shortest possible time.

National and County Shows: Road Safety: State and Public Occasions:

The "Royal Show" in Warwickshire and similar shows in other counties. Patrols and First Aid Post on major road Opening of Parliament, Trooping the Colour, Royal Garden Partie Lord Mayor' Show, Wake Week (Lanca hire), Carnivals Election Night gatherings in Trafalgar Square.

Nursing and Welfare:

Help :- In the home and hospitals; with outing and at recreational holiday centres for the elderly, disabled and young invalids (much is done in thi field by ambulance crews, often in their spare time, in transporting the aged and infirm to the seaside, etc.), at nurseries and creches and many types of clinics including chiropody clinics for old people .

First Aid and Nursing training for other organisations and especially youth organisations. The Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and training for Duke of Edinburgh's Awards might be specifically mentioned. Association and Rugby Football, Cricket, Swimming, Boxing, Tennis (nearly 1,000 casualties are attended each year during the Wimbledon Championships), Polo, Athletics, Rowing, 50-mile Marches for the general public organised by Newspapers. All categories of horse, car, motor cycle, greyhound a nd cycle racing. Associated events such as gymkhanas and motor cycle scrambles. Over 80 % of the larger horse race courses in England, it might be mentioned, are covered. Theatres, cinemas, circuses, zoos, exhibitions, (2,500 casualties are attended annually at the Earl's Court Stadium exhibitions alone), "Pop Group" concerts and the reception of these groups during their travel when large crowds invariably gather. avy Weeks, Sovereign's Parade R.M.A., Sandhurst· R.A.F. flying displays.

An obviou reminder which may perhap nonetheless be worth including i that \,: here porting events are concerned the First Aid cover is to meet the pos ible need of both competitor and spectators. It is from the latter that the majority of ca ualties come since wherever there are crowds the need for our service ari e whether it be for minor accidents or sudden iUne . A number of dutie are undertaken in conjunction with the British Red Cro ociety and J would like here to say how much we value and enjoy co-operating with their members on these occasions. TRAI ING

During the pa t year effort have been directed towards improvi?g the organi ation of Adult Divisional Training Programmes with a :'lew ~o providing more variety and a general increa e in the standard of FIr ~ Aid with an eye on the younger member. Many of the recently appomted County and Area Training Officers have contributed to progress here, but much remain to be done. Most Counties have held Training Conferences or weekend \ ith the e ends in view. The Mobile Training Units in Buckinghamshire and Susse are extending the cope of their work. Two other Counties plan to organise sim~lar teams which have a mo t stimulating effect on the standard of teachmg generally. I congratulate tho e Counties \ ho have already adopted this activity and would like to ee it extended to many more.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

Once again, thanks to the generosity of the Sembal Trust, six ~ing George VI Memorial Leadership Training Courses were held at Readmg, Dudley Westc1iff, Blackpool, Harrogate and Northern Ireland. The averag; attendance at each Course has been maintained at 50, all between the ages of 18 and 25 thus helping to produce a further 300 potential Young Leaders. . .. Two films have been made available on loan to Counties for trammg purposes. They are: "The Pulse of Lif~, ' which deals wit~ mouth-tomouth resuscitation, and "Disaster," which covers the plannmg and coordination between the organisations involved in rescue operations after a major incident. In September another very succe sful Brigade Training Course in Leadership of Cadets was held at Nottingham and a re~ord number . of 490 Ambulance and Nursing Members, attended. The mam theme studIed was 'Human Relations, ' and the important matter of relation hips within the Brigade, that is between Staff Officers and Division and between Adult and Cadet Divi ions. were discu ed.

Fund Raising Fund raising is an essential responsibility at all levels since the financing of our work so largely depends on the efforts of the Brigade, its friends and supporters both locally and centrally. Our members gladly give their time and skill but the equipment they use has to be paid for: for example, it is rarely realised by someone who has been helped that before the first aider goes on duty again the haversack must be reloaded and one triangular bandage alone now costs 1s. 4d. Other expenses which have to be met include ambulances, uniforms, premises and their maintenance costs, telephone and postage, and so on. The contributions received on flag days and from collections in cinemas help very considerably towards meeting these costs and I would therefore particularly like to record the thanks of the Brigade for the assistance we get in this way and especially to Associated British Cinemas Ltd. and The Rank Organisation Ltd. for the facilities and help they give us over collections in cinemas. A central fund raising activity I should mention was the Royal Preview of the musical, "High Spirits," in aid of Brigade funds and which H.R.H. Prince s Marina graciou ly honoured with her presence. I would like to express my appreciation to the Honourable Geoffrey Russell of Messrs. Linnit & Dunfee Ltd. who offered us the preview, to the Savoy Theatre and the organi ers and many supporters who did so much to make the occa ion a ucce . I would also like to thank Lady Joan Newman for all he did during the year a Chairman of the Appeals Committee, both \-\ith the ' High Spirits" preview and the other fund raising work she undertook on behalf of the Brigade.

ITEMS OF I TEREST

Recruiting Recruiting is something constantly in mind so as to en ure an adequate flow of new members in order to keep pace with normal wastage and increased calls on the Brigade ervices. A ha been mentioned earlier, I intend that, tarting from 1st September, 1965, there hould be an intensive recruiting drive at home. New measure already taken, however, are the formation of recruiting team in orne Countie and the giving to one member in each Divi ion the re pon ibility for co-ordinating recruiting. Schools are generally proud of their ol.d boy . and ~irl ~ctivitie an.d we are therefore suggesting that chool wIth UnIt mIght mclude their former pupils or alternatively encourage them to form their own divi ion. The reduction of CCF numbers at public chool ha also led to increase in those taking up first aid and we would like to hear of more chool forming St. John Ambulance Brigade Divi ion. They would find thi not only a de~irable medium for teaching ubject obviou ly of value to young people in the years ahead of them but al 0 a way of inculcating the voluntary spirit and a sense of public service. It is sometim~s. aid tha~ chool curriculum is already too crowded to aUO\ of any additIOn. If thl be so, substitution may be the answer ince is not the knowledge and practice of First Aid and Home Nursing of more importance than, ay, carpentry classes. Boundary Revisions The Greater London Act and boundary reVISIOn elsewhere in the Country have had some repercu ions on the Brigade. Territorial change can have a greater effect on the Brigade than might perhaps be expected. For example: a Division located in a town near the "border' may be responsible for duties well inside "the boundary". A change putting the town into the next county thus disrupt existing contacts with local authorities or other organisations and may raise problems in re-allocating duties. In the event such adjustments as have so far been nece ary were made amicably and the Brigade's intere ts were invariably put fir t by Divisions and Counties involved . I would like to pay particular tribute to this.

Uniform A problem not generally realised arise from the need that our members hould be in uniform and the cost factor that is involved. Uniform gives them the nece ary authority for access and free movement when on duty and makes them ea ily recognisable when needed. Moreover, it is our pride that the uniform, ambulance and nursing alike, identifies the individual to any of the public a omeone in whom they can place their confidence if accident, injury or iUne s arise. This identification is, of cour e particularly important on public occasions and we like to feel that our uniform ha over the years come to be a part of a way of life and the general public, we think, derives satisfaction and security from eeing our member pre ent. Uniform are, however, expensive and impose not only another financial burden but al 0 re trict the extent to which changes in line with modern usage can be made. The policy is to keep uniform practical and treamline it as and when pos ible. For e ample, trousers are now made for wear without braces so a to be more suitable as part of shirt sleeve order and a warmer hirt is available for Ambulance Cadets. AWARDS

The Ii t of Order and Brigade Awards and Jubilee Certificates is given in Appendix C. The former yet again indicate that gallantry skill and cool head in an emergency e ist in plenty in the Brigade when needed both at home and over ea . I am also delighted to record that a well a the awards made by the Order to member of the Cypru Relief Commi ion Mr. J. F. G. Coles,

The Finals of the Brigade First Aid and Nursing Competition were held at the Central Hall, Westminster, on 4th July. It wa a privilege and pleasure to have with us the Lord Prior who since he wa good enough to be present throughout the day, was able to see a good deal of the tests before presenting the awards to the winners . We were al 0 very pleased that the Mayor and Mayoress of We tminster were able to attend. This was the first year in which greater emphasis wa placed on the individual tests, which undoubtedly provide a more realistic approach and therefore greater training value which is, after all the principal object of competition. An innovation this year was to take some of the Cadets on a sight-seeing tour of London which helped to ease the ten ion while they were waiting to undergo their te t and al 0 it i hoped made their visit to the capital more enjoyable. Winners in each Section were:Dewar Shield for Ambulance Teams Perrott Shield for Nursing Teams . . White Knox Competition for Ambulance Cadet Teams. . . . . . . . Dunbar Nasmith Competition for Nursing Cadet Teams .

It i time that tribute should be paid in this report to the Judge for all they do in connection with these competition, not only in the Final but in the earlier rounds. They are a vital part of the organi ation and on them depends the success and value to be derived from thi part of our training. Judging i a responsible and intere ting activity but nonethele tiring and time consuming and we are therefore grateful and appreciative to our Surgeons and Nursing Officer who are all bu y people yet as i t us so will.ingly and generously. I am al 0 most grateful to the many other officIals who do so much to ensure that competition run moothly. The Otto Lund Trophy competed for annually by the Brigade in Northern Ireland and Eire was won thi year by Northern Ireland. The Deputy Surgeon-in-Chief and Miss O. M. Davies, S. R.N. (Area ur ing Officer, Hertfordshire), were the Judges and the Deputy Commi ioner~ in-Chief also went to Belfast for the event. The Annual Competition between Guernsey and Jer ey wa won b Guernsey and judged by the Deputy Surgeon-in-Chief and Mi D. ursing Officer, Dar et). Dr. Scott wa Sunderland, S.R.N. (County al.so asked t.o judge at Messrs. Fison's Fertilizers Ltd .

INSPECTIONS AND VISTTS

As. in previous years Inspections and Visit have helped greatly in keepmg touch between Headquarters and all section of the Brigade. Headquarters' conferences also play their part in this and are de cribed later in this report as are tours and visits overseas. Inspections in addition

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

to helping liaison within the Brigade provide a good opportunity for Counties to draw attention to their work locally and thus attract support in a number of ways. Such functions attended by the majority of members in the County also help to show them the strength and solidarity of the organisation to which they belong-something which may perhaps not always be realized by the small unit working on its own in an outlying area. The Colours of the Brigade are a proud feature at many inspections and the standard of Colour Parties throughout is admirable. This was the case in Wiltshire in 1964 where the County received its first Colour through the generosity of the Surgeon-in-Chief, one of its former Commi sioners. In Surrey the ceremony of "Transferring the Colour" was excellently performed as a part of the programme for their inspection. The ceremony temming from Surrey's custom of lodging their Colour in different parts of the County for specific periods has resulted in a tradtional procedure being developed. It is sometimes asked why we have Colours in the Brigade and it may, therefore, be of interest to quote from an Address by H.M. Lord Lieutenant of and in the County of Warwickshire when presenting a new Colour to Birmingham in 1963. He said, "May this Colour, which I have had the honour of presenting to your Brigade today, serve to inspire all ranks to further efforts in the cause of the relief of suffering and service to humanity." Thi expre e admirably the reason we have our Colours ; they are the traditional emblem reminding us all of the devotion of our forebears, the Knights of st. John and thereby set the standard we have to live up to now and for the future. Other visits which may be briefly mentioned include the camps of the Ea t Midland Area of the National Coal Board for their Brigade Member at Rhyl and Skegness, several of which I and a number of other Headq uarter Officers had the pleasure of attending; competitions throughout the United Kingdom; and the launching of Flying Christine II in Guern ey. rn addition many Headquarters Officers enjoyed visits to ocial and other gatherings in Counties. Visits to training days or conference are particularly u eful occasions for Headquarters Officers to attend 0 a to learn of the problems in Counties and even more important to hear their idea and suggestions. Visiting Officers also have the opportunity of offering their help and advice and telling the County of Brigade policy intention . CONFERENCES

The cu tornary meeting of the Brigade Committee, Women's Advisory Committee, Cadet Advi ory Committee, Surgeons, Nursing Officers and ecretarie all took place during the year. These, as always, were Df the greate t value, certainly to us at Headquarter and I believe al 0 to Countie . J n addition Brigade representatives attended many outside Conference at all level throughout the Brigade. These help greatly in keeping us in touch with Government Departments and the other Voluntary Organisations and enable us to ensure that First Aid and Home Nur ing a pect of the matters under discussion receive due weighting. Two other Conference during the year were the combined Commisioner and Superintendent (N) Conference and that for Public Relations Officer. The former which takes place every four year or so, was through the courte y of the London County Council held at the County

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Hall, Westminster, and attended by 80 Commissioners and Superintendents (N), including the Commissioners from South Australia, Sabah and Zanzibar. The P.R.O.'s conference had not been held for orne years but the ever increasing need for publicity suggested that this should be revived; 41 delegate attended. Both conferences produced intere ting and lively discussion and numerous good ideas were forthcoming that will be of wide benefit in the months ahead. SE lOR OFFIC RS

Changes in Commissioners:Dorset: Major R . W. Humphreys succeeded Dr. E. J. Gordon Wallace. Hampshire: Captain H. P. Hender on C.B.E. , D.S .O. , R.N., ucceeded Colonel W. P. S. Curti, O.B.E. , D.L. Kent: Brigadier J. V. Davidson-Houston M.B.E. ucceeded MajorGeneral G. Brunskill C.B., M.C., D.L. To the new Commi ioner I extend a warm welcome and my gratitude for their willingness to take over the re pon ibility of thi office. We are indeed fortunate in having them to ucceed. I would al 0 like to welcome Lady Moyra Browne as Deputy Superintendent-in-Chief. he brings to the appointment her already con iderable e perience of the Brigade and the technical qualifications of a State Enrolled ur e. The changes in Commi sioner re ulted from the former Commi ioner feeling the time had come for them to retire, influenced in the ca e of General Brunskill and Colonel Curtis by their increa ing ill-health. It is of course, right, as in any organisation that the Brigade' nior officer should change from time to time and for other officer with new idea to come forward. onetbele s it i alway a matter of regret \\ hen talwarts who have done 0 much hand over the reins of office and J \\ould, therefore, like to record here my personal gratitude, which I kno\\ will be echoed in their Countie , for their loyal and devoted service. Unfortunately the improvement in health for which we all hoped for General Brunskill and Colonel Curti did not materialize and to our orro\\ and of their Counties they have both ince died. We uffered a number of other losses through death and although these mo tly V\ ere offic r on the retired list it in no way lessened our adne at their pa ing r our regret that we hould no longer have their upport. They incl uded:Major-General J. M. Kirkman C.B ., C.B.E. Commi ioner-in-Chief 1956-1962; Captain J. L. Johns R. ., former Commi ioner Cumberland and Westmorland; Captain W. C. C.

All will be greatly mis ed and if in thi report 1 d no more than remember a few of them by name, it i only beca u e detail of \ hat they had done over the years have already been publi hed in the Rel'iell' and elsewhere. I am sure, however, that Member would wi h me to make particular mention of our former Commissioner-in-Chief, General Ki rkman, who is remembered with affection and gratitude by so many at home and overseas. During the five and a half years he wa Commi joner-in-Chief he gave himself unstintingly to the Brigade and wa alway inten ely proud of it and of the devoted service of its mem ber .

NURSING CORPS AND DIVISIONS

The Superintendent-in-Chief reports as follows:It is with pleasure I record the continued devoted and fine service of the Nursing Corps and .Div~sions during the past year in meeting the ~nany ~~mands upon theIr s~Ill and so-called leisure time. In many areas, III addItIOn ~~ t~e ~ul1y qualIfied members, much valuable work is being done by auxilianes In tasks that do not require first aid and nursing skills and I hope the recruitment of auxiliaries as well as full members may develop and enable us to expand our help to the community. . First Aid, .Nu:sin~ and Welfare. The analysis of voluntary duty hours gIves some IndIcatIOn of the range of service undertaken, but cannot denote the degree of help whether it be on first aid duty at public occasions or at the beach F.A ..huts (which had a busy summer) or' nursing assistance for homebound patients, at hospitals, clinics and homes for the elderly and infirm needing permanent care. Much escort work has been done with invalids as well as on group outings and holidays for handicapped and elder~y. persor:-s, for. whom, too,. ~any welfare facilities are provided by the DIVl Ions In theIr own localItIes. The latter include visiting and helping the homebound, in which the cadets also give able assistance equipment from medical comforts depots, and assistance at centres and club for the elderly and disabled. Valuable help has been given by members and auxiliaries in the activitie of the Joint Committee St. John and R~d Cro Ex-Services War Disabled Help Department in caring for tho e 111 need through their disablement; and also with the library amenitie provided through the Hospital Library Department. In these and other way the Divi ion both individually and in co-operation with Local Authority and with other voluntary organisations schemes, have made a valuable contribution to the happiness and welfare of many thou ands. The prompt help readily offered in this country was no less forthcoming during the emergency in Cyprus when joint st. John and British Red Cro team were called for to serve in the villages where there was pecial hard hip. Thi operation i described elsewhere but I would expre pecial appreciation to the officers and members (N) who volunteered for thi important task. Hospital Car Service. Thi service, jointly run by the British Red Cross Society, the Women' Voluntary Service and the st. John Ambulance Brigade, conti n ue to provide very essential transport for patients to ho pital and clinics. No prai e i too high for the drivers who voluntarily undertake thi work and the county and area organisers upon whose efficient admini tration the succe of the cherne rests. Sen ice Hospitals Welfare Department. At Naval Military and Air Force Ho pitals in the United Kingdom and overseas St. John and Red Cross Welfare Officer continue their valuable work in caring for the welfare and recreational need of ick ervicemen. Twelve new officers trained during 1964 and at the end of the year the trength totalled 74, of whom only 20 were member of the Brigade. I would like to ee more. The two St. John Welfare Officer stationed with the British Military Hospital in Dhekelia had patient of many nationalities and also did a lot of work \\ ith the civilian population during the emergency in Cyprus.

and hospitals in Benghazi, Tripoli, Malta and Cyprus. In the Far East, books, magazines and stores have been sent to Sick Quarters in Borneo and the Chief Welfare Officer, at the request of the Army Director of Medical Service, visited units in Labaun, Brunei and Kuching. Ca ualties are evacuated to Singapore so there is no resident Welfare Officer in Borneo at present. Welfare Officers in Hong Kong and Singapore were delighted to see the Commis ioner-in-Chief when he visited Service Hospitals during his tour of the Far Ea t towards the end of the year. Welfare Officers are also respon ible for caring for relatives visiting very seriously ill ervicemen and women under the Government "Dilfor" Scheme, and those attending funerals at Government expen e in North West Europe. These numbered 90 la t year and numerou requests were dealt with for flower to be placed on grave. During the year a factual survey of dutie carried out by Welfare Officer wa made by the Mini try of Defence. The findings of thi survey confirm that it i an e ential service and one mo t ati factorily carried out by personnel out ide the Service structure. I was delighted to have the opportunity of meeting many of the \Velfare Officer at the ucces ful conference held in the summer. Royal Naval V.A.D. Reserve. Member of this Re erve continue to undertake training periods at R.N. Ho pital in Ha lar and Plymouth and occasionally in Malta. The total of Re erve member stand at 69, of which 13 are members of the Brigade. Again I would like to see more. Training and Conferences. The wide scope of Brigade activities demands constant training not only in the primary subjects of practical fir t aid and nursing but aloin a sociated topic, in admini tration and not lea t in being trained in the art of how to teach other . The latter ha particular importance for officers and member who not only in truct \\ ithin the Brigade but undertake much u eful work in giving talk and practical demonstrations to the public, to other voluntary bodie, and to trainee for the National Hospital Service Re erve. In addition to the many hour devoted to training \ ithin the Divi ion . and by the mobile training units it is ati factory that many \\ ell attended training days and weekend courses have been held throughout the counties. I was delighted myself to attend the West Riding of York hire Conference and the Cumberland and We tmorland training day. The Commissioners and District/County Superintendent' Conference wa a valuable opportunity of interchanging view for future development, a too was the Secretaries' Conference on administrative que tion which was attended by Miss Harrison. The Chief ursing Officer wa pre ent at the .H.S.R. Conference at Harrogate and the Surgeon' Conference, and Miss Watson attended training cour e in the Priory for \Vale and Northern Ireland. The close co-operation that is so essential with tatutory and ther authorities on health and welfare question entails repre entation throughout the counties and from headquarter on numerou committee and attendance at many conferences on matters of mutual concern such a the National Old People's Welfare Conference at Torq uay attended b) Mrs. Cavendish. In thanking the e representative I would like to exprl,; particular appreciation to the Chief ursing Officer for her con tant representation of the Brigade nur ing intere ts in many pherc.

In reporting a very satisfactory increase in the number of State Registered Nurse who have been appointed Nursing Officers in the past year, the Chief Nursing Officer e presses her thanks to all the Nursing Officers for their upport and devotion to our work. I join with her in gratitude to them and other members of the nursing profession who generously give their killed help in training and other ways. It is a source of satisfaction that the Brigade for its part, continues to make a substantial contribution from it members and ex-cadets to the entry for nurse training and that many of tho e who qualify as S.R. . subsequently take up appointments a St. John Nursing Officers. nfortunately there are still a certain number of counties with vacancies for County and Area ur ing Officers and it is to be hoped that these appointment may be filled in the coming year.

Inspections alld Visits. With you, Sir, I was present at the successful Cadet Rally at Chiche ter which was honoured by the presence of H.R.H. Prince Margaret.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Changes ill Appointments. During the year the Brigade s~ffered a sad loss in the death of Lady Fuller, M.B.E., County Supenntendent for Wiltshire who had given outstanding service particularly in the interests and development of the Nursing and Nursing Cadet. Divisio.ns since 19?1 , having for the previous four years been County VIce-PresIdent Nursmg Cadets. With regret I report the resignation of the following County ,Supe~in tendents :- Dr. Ainscow, Cumberland and Westmorland, 44 years serVIce; Lady Starmer, Durham, 28 ye.ars' service (23 in a ,Presi~ent!al cap~cit.y) ; Mrs. Smellie Essex, who havmg fulfilled 47 years service IS contmumg her excellent' work for the Brigade in the capacity of Divisional Superintendent of the Stanway Ambulance and Nursing Division. At Headquarters I was sorry to receive the resignation of Miss Baird wh?, initially as a Service Hospital Welfare Officer, then as County Supertnt~ndent , Oxfordshire and finally as a Headquarters Staff Officer, had given 22 years' valued service. To them all I extend very grateful thank for their admirable service to the Brigade. I welcome the following in their appointments as County Superintendents :- The Countess of Carlisle, Cumberland and We tmorland ; Mrs. Train, Essex; Miss Sturmer Wiltshire. Early in the year I was very glad to welcome Lady Moyra Brow,:e on her appointment as one of my Staff Officer and on her return to Bngade work after several years absence through family commitment. It is with particular pleasure that I report her appointment toward the end of the year as Deputy Superintendent-in-Chief, i~ whi~h cap~city her .St. John knowledge and experience and other qualJficatlOn Will be of lmmen e help to me.

Thanks to them our Flag fiies a high a ever. As always, my gratitude to my taff i unbounded. It i difficult year after year to find words to express the value of their work and I can only say to them, one and all, from the bottom of my heart, "Thank ou ." Once again, Sir, too, I would like to thank you and your taff for your understanding and help throughout the year, which has been 0 largely responsible for the excellent relationship that exists between the Ambulance and Nursing side of the Brigade.

Close contact has also been maintained with the British Red Cross Society in the organisation of courses in Casualty Simulation with the help of Casualties Union. It is intended that these courses will be followed up in Counties and Areas by further instruction in this subject so that ultimately every Division will have the benefit of a trained casualty. My Deputy or I visited the Competitions held at Regional level in all Regions but one. As a result of our observations, a circular was sent to every County giving a number of ideas which might assist in the running of these Competitions. Our visits gave us the opportunity of meeting many doctors acting as judges. Several counties, including the Commandery of Ards, invited me to visit them to meet Brigade Surgeons; such personal contact is invaluable and I would wish that all counties would endeavour to arrange day meetings of surgeons which either I or my Deputy would be delighted to attend. A very uccessful Surgeon's Conference was held at Nottingham Univer ity; the Saturday was spent in short talks by selected Brigade peakers discussing various aspects of Brigade training and examinations and on Sunday a London Fire Brigade Officer, the Medical Officer of a football club and a doctor from the Birmingham Accident Hospital gave their views on the work of the Brigade. The advantages of meeting at a univer ity were considered to outweigh the disadvantage of the clash of the date with summer holidays. During the year the Brigade has availed itself of a generous offer of beds and equipment from surplus and redundant stock in hospitals. Divi ion needing the e items receive them free of cost. In spite, however, of the large upply we have already received there are many more Divi ion till short of training equipment. May I, therefore, mention that we are alway most grateful to receive any equipment of this type no longer required : it i invaluable to our training. Continued in truction in re uscitation has been given to District Nur e Midwive and other groups throughout England, and the film, "Pul e of Life,' i till in teady demand. A complete revi ion of the record cards of Brigade Surgeon has been completed and a number of error found and corrected. A personal letter of thank and Chri tma greeting has been sent together WIth some notes of general intere t to all Surgeon in the Brigade at Home. To them must go my be t thank for all their work in the field; at Headquarters, my Deputy Dr. cott, and my Staff Officer Mr. Kirk~am , are ~lways. available: rno t willingly with advice and assistance and WIthout theIr contmuous help the Department could not cover the volume of work it does .

The Surgeon-in-Chief reports as follows: During 1964 increased efforts have been made to improve the practical side of our training. As part of this and resulting from close co-operation with the Principal Medical Officer of the Association it is hoped to be able to revise and improve our present methods of re-examination and to extend instruction on practical rather than theoretical methods of first aid.

Co-operation between the Brigade and the Civil Defence CO.rps ~~s continued throughout the year and members have taken part m CIVlI Defence e erci e in many parts of the country. On 25th April 1964, a further One-day Course entirely devote~ to the Brigade was held at the Civil Defence Staff College at Sunnmgdale: 74 member from all parts of the United Kingdom attended. 1 am rno t grateful to the Commandant and his Staff ~t Sun~ingdale for the trouble they took to provide u with such excellent III tructlon and in looking after our comforts during the day.

The 1964 Cadet Rally was held at Chiche t .r on ~2th july . nce again H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Commandant-m-Chlef of.Ambulance and Nursing Cadets honoured us with her pre enc~. We are mdeed fortunate in the interest that Her Royal Highne take In St. John Cadet and the time she devote to them. During the afternoon Her Royal Highne in pected a parade of ~,500 Cadets and conducted an Enrolment Ceremony for 61 Cadet. An mnovation wa a di play by the Sus ex County Band, followed by a tableau , . given by Cadet of the Brighton a r e a . . As alway there have been torie. of hero) m and re ource, uch cl when Cadet Hugh William of Menoneth mad~ ~ c~)Urageou effort to save a friend from drowning, and Cadet Tony SClglJanl of Hanley ucce fully rescued an 8 year-old non-swimm~r from a lake. There wa al 0 Cadet Corporal Martin Harvey of ~ellll1gton S~mer ~t, who ~arne? .a Letter of Commendation for the efficient manner In ~hlch he gave ~Ir t Aid to a boy who had been seriously injured after failing on to orne Iron railings and might have died if it had not been for adet Corporal .

They are al. 0 very much to the fore in the welfare field where they help old people I~ ~~elr homes with housework, decorating, shopping and other useful actIvIlJes. Naturally, Cadets may quite often arrive first at the cene of treet

accidents and the training they have been given has again and again demonstrated its value in the help they have been able to give in those vitally important minutes when a casualty is first found. This volume of work quietly and willingly carried out in all Divisions makes clear that Cadets are learning in the Brigade to be responsible young citizens and are developing a sense of public service which must be of value to the future of the country. To give two further examples:In Somerset four Cadet Divisions held a competition to see which Division could first raise the £250 necessary to obtain a guide dog for a blind person; in the event all four Divisions succeeded in raising the sum and thus the lot of four blind people was made easier. In Norfolk a partially paralysed girl is through her afflictions losing the use of her fingers and has become unable to manipulate her record player. Cadets have raised locally sufficient money to provide her with a tape recorder with controls she can manage and so she still is able to listen to the music in which she finds consolation. We undoubtedly owe a debt of gratitude to the Officers who give up their leisure to training and helping St. John Cadets acquire this fine pirit and outlook and of which we all have every reason to be proud. Other Cadet activities included continued participation in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme where 4 Gold, 1 Silver and 16 Bronze Awards have been gained. Camping was also prominent throughout the country during the ummer and 1,060 campers attended the Brigade Camp at Bexhill so admirably run by Mrs. Rose. During the year 26 Camping Warrants and 10 Quartermastering Certificates were issued. OVERSEAS GE ERAL

Brief comment on overseas strengths arising from Appendix 'A' were included earlier in this report and showed that the overall increase has not b en a ub tantial as in the past few years. This has been due to a variety of circumstances which will be readily appreciated, as one or two territories have gone through difficult times in 1964. On the other hand, it is particularly encouraging to note the growing expansion and enthusiasm in a number of smaller areas, amongst which might be mentioned Fiji and the Leeward and Windward Isles. A Division has also been formed ror the first time in the Turks and Caicos Islands. EMERGE CIES

Cyprus

The sending of St. John and Red Cross teams to Cyprus at the end of J 963 to carry out relief work was briefly described in last year's repo~t. These member formed into a Relief Commission under the leadershIp of Mr. J. F. G'. Cole, continued to operate until June 1964 when the United Nations Force in Cyprus and the International Committee ?f ~he Red Cross assumed responsibility for their work and the ComrrusslOn wa withdrawn. Teams of two (generally one St. John and one Red Cross member) visited hundred of villages taking medical care, welfare services and food to the inhabitant. Their work was onerous and at times dangerous but they had the sati faction of knowing they had brought comfort to many people in need at a mo t difficult time in the island's history.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Zanzibar During the serious political troubles in the early part of the year, members of the Brigade under the leadership of the Commissioner, Mr. K. A. Pascoe, M.B.E., helped the Red Cross in relief work amongst the thousands of detainees. The Commissioner and other officers have now left the island and for the moment the Brigade is not able to continue its work. The Association is managing to carryon to some extent and we shall hope, therefore, in due course to see the Brigade again becoming established. PUBLIC DUTIES

Zambia-Malawi First Aid coverage on a large scale was arranged for the Independen~e Celebrations in Zambia and to a smaller extent in Malawi. The CommIssioner in Zambia has reported that the arrangements were very successful but in spite of large crowds casualtie were comparatively few. lvIalta The Brigade in Malta also took an active part in Independence Celebrations, not only in performing Public Duties, but also by providing uniformed members for some of the "floats" in the Independence Pageant in the city of Valetta and the Grand Harbour. During the year Brigade members have as usual been most helpful and hospitable to St. John visitors from all over the world. We are mo t grateful for all the arrangements the Commissioner makes to give our members uch a pleasant welcome and to look after them so well. West Indies The Brigade wa on duty in most i lands during Prince Philip's recent tour. In St. Lucia a "Mock Hurricane" demonstration was taged and His Royal Highness took the Salute at a March Past afterward and spoke to a number of members. Fiji

Eight hundred members of the Brigade were on parade when the Colour, given by London District with whom Fiji is affiliated, was dedicated and then presented by H.E. The Governor. Earlier eriou flood had led to graver responsibility and saw the Brigade doing plendid relief work. TOURS

In February and March I visited the Brigade in the Caribbean Area ' a description of this tour being included in the 1963 Report. In December I began a further exten ive tour which covered vi it to Hong Kong, Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, Malaya Kenya, Mauritiu and South Africa. Sarawak is one of the very few places in the Commonwealth where there is neither Association nor Brigade, but during the day 1 wa there I was able to draw attention to our availability if needed. St. John flourishes in all the other countrie I had the plea ure of visiting and I regret that space in this report does not permit me to describe all that I was privileged to see or to enlarge on the unforgettable warmth and friendliness of the welcome given everywhere; fuller account have, however, been published in the Reviel\. Altogether not many hort of 10,000 members of the Brigade were inspected on parade and many Headquarters were visited and meetings of St. John Council attended. There were five major parades, that is of over 1,000 and many mailer ones.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

!he ~outh A~rican part o~ my journey was originally planned as a bnef pnvate hOh.day. The Pn~r, on hearing of this, most kindly asked me to do a tour .Ill the RepublIc when I was given the chance of visiting most of the mam places around which Brigade units are concentrated and had the great pleasure of meeting a large number of Officers and Members. In Cape Town, for instance, there were present in the Headquarters several representatives from each of the 53 Divisions in the Di s trict- Europ~an, Colour~d, Malay and Bantu. As it was the height of the South Af~lcan season It was not practicable to hold formal parades and the only umt I actually saw, therefore, was a Bantu Railway Division at East London. However, I saw quite enough in the way of Guards of Honour at many places an~ in my talks w.ith Members to be impressed by the smartness and efficIency of the Bngade in South Africa. Apart from my own warm welcome I received innumerable messages of friendship to the Brigade everywhere . . In March the Superintendent-in-Chief visited Ghana, Nigeria and SIerra Leone wher~, as mentioned in he~ own report, she saw something of the fine work bell1g done by St. John In those countries. An important visit also during the year was that made in May at the di recti on of the Order by Colonel Benyon, Controller Overseas to Central frica ,,:,ith th.e object of discu~sing the new Constitutions consequent on the dl olutlOn of the FederatIOn. As a result, new Councils have been formed in Mala wi and Zambia, whilst the Commandery now operates in Rhodesia only. Although these visits were on behalf of the Order rather than the Brigade, Colonel Benyon was able to see quite a lot of the training of Brigade Members in Rhodesia and Zambia and to talk over method and point of interest in all three countries.

I believe it will be agreed that in the pa t year much ha yet again been achieved. That thi was so ha been due to the in pired ervice of our members at Home and Over eas and L record here my per onal gratitud e to them for their work, perseverance and enthu ia m. 1 have everal time. herein spoken of the Brigade in action. Where action is implied be it on the battlefield or in the factory succes or failure depend in the end on the skill and devotion of tho e phy ically doing the job.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

REPORT OF THE ALMONER Joint Committee of the Order of st. John and the British Red Cross Society Annual Report describes in ~etail the activities the parent ~odi~s have deleo-a ted to the Joint CommIttee, the state of the CommIttee s finances, a~d the extent to which the cost of the year's work has encroached upon the fund, originally £61- million, which was allocated for these purposes by the Joint War Organisation at the end of the last war. The Report and Statement of Account for 1963-64 show that the gro~s expenditure of the Committee amounted to about £442,500 and that thIS sum was met mainly from the income received by Departments, £236,300. Interest and dividends on investment, with donations and legacies, provided a further £120,000, and the balance of £86,460 reduced the General Fund to £2,848,388 at the 30th June, 1964. The Committee s service to the War Disabled, entirely free, and at a cost of £124 ,500 , more than accounted for the Committee' deficit for the year. During the year 50,000 application for help were received and dealt with and of the e over 15 000 required financial help at a cost of nearly £80000. As in the pa t, the Joint Committee was helped by other Charities con~erned with E -Servicemen, and the Committee's funds were relieved to the extent of £11,000 by these organisations. The Joint Committee s help to the War Disabled covers a very wide field, but a noticeable feature throughout the year as in the past, ha been the steady demand for assistance to enable the war wounded to achieve mobility. In many ca e help toward the purchase of a car has enabled the war pensioner to continue in gainful employment. In other ca es the loan of a motor propelled tricycle has had the same effect and in 1963- 64 t~e Committee had on loan to Di ability Pensioners some 135 of these trIcycle. In all this work the Joint Committee works in close as ociation with the Ministry of Pensions and National [n urance and it is therefore particularly gratifying to be able to reproduce the following quotation from the Ministry s report on War Pen ioner for the year 1963:"The links with voluntary bodies many of which were forged in the early days of the Welfare Service, grow ever tronger and Welfare Officer all over the country pay tribute to the co-operation and help they receive . One such organisation with which the War Pensioner Welfare Service is closely associated and almost all of who e clients are al 0 beneficiarie . of this Ministry is the Joint Committee CSt. John and Red Cro ). Extenslve use has been made of the Joint Committee facilities and there were many instances during the year when Welfare Officer enlisted their generous help on behalf of war pensioner . "It sometimes requires considerable courage a well as imagination to provide financial support of the kind that may be needed to enable a pensioner to turn the corner when there i no certainty of a succe ful outcome. The Joint Committee s realistic approach and prompt action in such cases is always an inspiration . . . . ' One hundred and five elderly nurses received regular allowance towards their nursing home fees and household expense and thi help goes some way towards relieving the very real hardship suffered by many nurses, who throughout their professional life had little chance ofproviding for their old age. The Hospital and Medical Services Department of the Joint Committee makes its own contribution to the welfare of nurse by maintaining THE

ST.

JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

Ernest Burdon House at Bournemouth and Bramshott Lodge, near Hindhead, as residential homes for retired nurses. The work necessary for the conversion of Queen Alexandra House, Folkestone, into a home for those nurses at present at Bramshott Lodge is proceeding well, and it is hoped that the residents may move there in the late summer of 1965. The other homes under the control of this Department, Brighton Convalescent Hospital, and Scio House, both primarily for elderly ex-officers, have continued to provide good accommodation for convalescent and infirm officers, together with skilled nursing and medical attention. The Libary Department has maintained very much the same level of activity as in previous years. Nearly 95,000 beds in Civilian Hospitals have been provided with a Library Service, and nearly 11,000 in Service Hospitals. In all, some three and a half million books were distributed to patients in hospital last year. In what may be the last full operating year of the Ambulance Department before transfer to the London County Council, over 37,500 patients were carried within the National Health Service, and the total mileage amounted to 450,000. During the past year the Joint Committee's X-ray Section was discontinued. The office accommodation problems besetting the Order and the Red Cross Society in Grosvenor Crescent are also faced by the Joint Committee, who are the lease-holders of four of the houses concerned. Officers of the Joint Committee are taking a full part in drawing up the plans for the future. GERALD CREASY, Almoner.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN following new publications have been brought to notice during the pa t year:The Order of Malta and its Relations with Poland in Historic Times, by Pawel Czerwin ki, published by the Polish Research Institute in London. ]t i rather unfortunate that this book is available only in Polish, as it contains undoubtedly much valuable and fresh material on a subject which ha barely been touched upon in the past. A Shorf History of the Order of St. John, by Gaston Tonna-Barthet, a publication of the Malta Cultural Institute. This little book has been compiled to provide a bird' eye view of the principal.eve~ts in. th~ history of the Order and to iUu trate all its Grand Masters. It IS prImarIly mtended for tho e person who would like to have a general idea of the whole busine of the Order in a few pages. Etude Illuslree sur I'Bistoire de /'Ordre Souverain Militaire Hospitaler de Sf. Jean de Jerusalem, dit de Rhodes, dit de Malle, by G. F. de Thierry, publi bed in Mexico. This is a well-presented book, consisting mainly of illu trations. The major alterations to the buildings, which. ,:"ere started ir:- the summer did not interrupt in any way the flow of Vlsltors to the. Llb.rary a~d Mu eum. Saturday tours continued as usual despite certall1 dlfficu~tles caused by the recon truction work. Fifty-six different group, mall11y divisions of the Brigade were shown round during the year. The number of visitors for 1964 totalled 1,805.

THE

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

As a result of the improvements effected at the Gate the Rhodian armour presented by Sir George Wilkinson in 1960 has at last been given a home. Two wall-cases in the new robing-room on the ground floor were specially installed to accommodate it. Each item was cleaned and restored, and it is hoped that their display will stimulate fresh interest. There have been the usual numerou and varied accessions to the department. Amongst them special mention should be made of the Commemorative Medal of Queen Mary Tudor. This was yet another of Sir Harry Luke's generous gifts. A medal commemorating the Catholic Association's annual pilgrimage to Lourdes was presented by Colonel P. Catt. The latest series of gold and silver coins struck by the Grand Master of the Sovereign and Military Order of Malta in 1963 was purchased by the Order for the Museum. In November the department acquired an interesting portrait of a late sixteenth century dignitary, wearing the eight-pointed cross of the Order and bearing the arms of a Prince of Wales. Thi was the bequest of the late Mr. Walter ThorntonSmith and it is now on view in the We t Tower. Other donors to whom the thank of Chapter-General have been conveyed are:Sir Gerald Creasy, Surgeon Lieut.-Commander J. R. Lawrence-Owen, G. F. de Thierry, Esq. G. S. Sanders, E q. The Lady Robins F. J. d'Almeida, Esq. H. Pirie-Gordon Esq., Mr . Ewart, Miss K. F. Jones, Dame Claudina Eastwall-Naijna, Miss M. Harrison Mrs. K. StevensonBrown and Miss J. Stovold. RICHARD WILLIAMS Librarian.

THE PRIORY OF SCOTLAND

outstanding event in 1964 was the Installation of Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey of Dinnet, K.C.M.G., as Prior of the Priory of Scotland. It was a unique occasion. Priory met within Glasgow Cathedral on the 26th April and none will forget this date and the event, because of its historic significance and the presence of The Rt. Hon. The Lord Wakehurst, K.G., K.C.M.G., Lord Prior in the British Realm. The preceding evening, acknowledgment was made to the outstanding tenure of office of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Hugh S. Turnbull, K.C.V.O., K.B.E., the retiring Prior, when Priory entertained him to dinner and made a presentation to him of a suitably inscribed salver. Although news of the death of the Marquis of Aberdeen came to us a few days after the conclusion of 1964, it is fitting that I should pay tribute to him in this report. Accompanied by Executive Officers of the Priory, I attended the obsequies at Haddo House on the 11th January. I can pay no more worthy tribute than to add it was one of the privileges of myself and all who accompanied me, that we were enabled to join a company who sincerely, reverently and lovingly bade farewell to one who nobly upheld the highest traditions of Christian chivalry. It is unnecessary to cover the activities in detail of the several Committees of the Priory as individual reports are later presented. I should like, nevertheless, to refer to developments within Glasgow, Aberdeen and Moray. The Hospice at Langside is so successful that there is an increa ing waiting list for admission, and, within this largest of the cities of Scotland, I hope it may be possible still further to extend the work of the Order in meeting the needs of fragile elderly people, who for various rea ons are unable to maintain a home of their own. The Order, south of the Border, is known and recognised through the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. In Scotland, we are unable to undertake this nature of Activity, owing to an early agreement, but we are becoming rapidly and happily acknO\ ledged in respect of the extension of our charitable work among elderly people. In my report to Priory last year I referred to developments contemplated at our ur ing Home \ ithin the City of Aberdeen. egotiations proceeded throughout the whole of 1964 but it is unlikely that any detailed statement of future development can be made before St. John's Day of this year. There i reference in thi report to the developments taking place at the St. John Ho pice, Los iemouth. The proposed developments to the use of the Ho pice beyond the original proposals have not been undertaken v\ ithout much thought. It i the belief of Priory that extensions to the facilitie offered at thi delightful Hospice should be extended in the winter month to youth and other organisation. This could be done without prejudice to the need of old people. As the area to be served will extend beyond the bound of Moray hire, Priory agreed to widen the geographical cope of the Committee, the Moray Committee, therefore, i being di banded and a new Committee will undertake the upervision of thi Ho pice. It will be the de ire of all Confreres that acknowledgment hould be made of the loyal work and generou benefaction of the Member of the Moray Committee, it Hou e Committee and particularly it E ecutive fficer. Early in 1964, Mr. P. H. Drabble re igned a Priory-Secretary. It was the unanimou deci ion of Priory-Council and Chapter that Mr . G. T. THE

Robertson, O.StJ. , should be appointed in his stead, this decision received immediate support and approval from all Confreres. THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOH

A record number of Members and guests attended the various ceremonies of the Festival of St. John which was held in Glasgow on Friday, 26th June. The Commemoration Service, conducted by the Prelate of the Priory of Scotland, the Very Rev. Dr. Nevile Davidson, assisted by the Rev. P. H. R. Mackay the Rev. Dr. L. L. L. Cameron, and the Rev. R.

The General As embly followed by an Inve titure by the Prior of Scotland Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey of Dinnet, K.C.M .G. wa held in the afternoon in the Banqueting Hall of the City Chamber. In the evening Sir Malcolm and the Lady Muriel Barclay-Harvey received guest at an informal party: a delightful finish to a mo t ucc ful Festival. THE GLASGOW COMMITTEE OF THE PRIORY

The result of the work of the Glasgow Committee have been very encouraging. The St. John Residential Home continue to keep up it high standard of comfort. It is fully occupied and there i a waiting Ii t for admission. It is with deep regret that the Committee recei ed the re ignation of Lady Boyd, Chairman of the Ladie ' Committee Mi Campbell Mr . Pomphrey and Mr. eville (all member of the Committee ince it. inception), whose enthusia tic work ha been of great value. Mr. Andre\\ La\ son was appointed Vice-Chairman, Mr. A. Thorn on and Mr. J. P. Weston \ ere appointed member and the Committee i fortunate in having co-opted such able and con cientiou worker. Dr. Lewis L. L. Cameron Almoner for the Priory i ited the Lang ide Home in ovember and complimented the Committee on the appointments of the Home and the efficient manner in v hich it \Va maintained. The Committee are again grateful to the Gla gow Branch of the t. John As ociation for their plendid endeavours in fund rai ing and untiflng work on our behalf. Thanks are al 0 due to all Member of our vario LI Committees for their interest and encouragement throughout the year. THE EDII B RGH A D SOUTH- A T OF THE PRIORY

fMITTEE

The progre sand Sllccess of our two Home at Carberry and Lennox Row has, this year, exceeded even our 010 t optimi tic hope. ot only have the total number of resident/weeks increased to 1 060 in our two Homes (the fir t time ever over the thousand mark), but even more gratifying our deficit ha been the least on record . We have been fortunate in receiving intimation of a legacy of between

PRIORIES AND COMMAND ERIES

£8,000-£9,000, through the generosity of the late Mrs. Robertson of 25, Easter Drylaw Drive, Edinburgh. For many years one of the major problems with which we have been faced has been the question of the transporting of residents to and from the Hospice at Carberry. Now each Member of the Hospice Committee is to organise this during their duty week. It is w~th regret ~hat we report that the negotiations with Edinburgh CorporatlOn regardmg a part payment of the cost of repair of the drains at Lennox Row have not yet come to fruition. With grateful thanks we acknowledge the work of the St. John Association and in particular to the Chairman who, by his enthusiasm, has given the necessary incentive in raising money for the maintenance and improvement of the Homes. Without their efforts none of the successes mentioned could have been attained. It is, therefore, with regret that the resignation of Major Watt has been accepted. He is to be succeeded by Brigadier Buchanan Dunlop to whom we wish all success in the future. Once again, I pay tribute to the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Hospice and the House for their excellent efforts during the past year which has been, without question, a milestone in the history of the Edinburgh Committee. THE ABERDEE

COMMITTEE OF THE PRIORY

The sole concern of the Aberdeen Committee has been the St. John N ur ing Home and its possible enlargement. At the beginning of the year the Chancellor sanctioned exploratory measures being taken in regard to the additional accommodation envisaged and its estimated cost. In January 1964 the Aberdeen Committee lost the valued services of Colonel Martin M. Cruickshank, C.LE., when he resigned from the Honorary Secretary hip, the office he had held since 1955. For some time Colonel Cruickshank had suffered from indifferent health but his sudden death in October 1964 came as a great shock to his colleagues who e affection and respect for him was deep and sincere. Mr. Fenton Wyness undertook the duties of Honorary Secretary until a permanent arrangement could be made for a successor and the Committee are most grateful for his e ceptional efficiency and attention to the duties involved. Mr. John McP. Mutch, C.A. was appointed Honorary Secretary of the t. John Committee in Aberdeen in succe sion to Colonel Cruickshank. The financial po ition of the St. John Nursing Home has caused anxiety throughout the year. Due to mounting cost and salary increases, it became nece ary to tran fer £4000 to offset the Nursing Home overdraft. nIt April, J 964, the Committee reluctantly decided to increa e the N ur ing Home fees in the hope that, by the end of the financial year thing might break even. The X-ray equipment, which ha erved the Nur ing Home for many year had to be replaced at the co t of ju t over £10,000. The Home now po e e one of the mo t up-to-date X-ray Departments in the country and i working to capacity . THE

PRIORIES AND COMMANDERIES

not meet the normal commercial charges. It has been found that the demand for such accommodation extended only over the summer months and throughout the major part of the year the excellent facilities were beinu maintained at substantial cost and negligible reward. Accordingly, Prio;y agreed to add to the equipment and to make such a~justmen~s as would yield the premises suitable for conference needs ill the wmter months without di turbance to the facility for the elderly. The alteration adaptation and refurnishing ha now been comple~ed. Conferences of young people, university and other approved orgamsations, have already made bookings for weekend, midweek and weekly facilities. Conference leaders have been enthusiastic in their praise of the excellence and suitability of the premises. In view of the extended area to be erved by the Hospice it ha been decided to form a new Committee on a wider regional basis. Thi opportunity is taken to e press the thank of Priory to the Members of the Moray Committee and the Members of the House Committee for the generous thought and benefaction they have given to the Ho pice over the past period. Special acknowledgment mu t be made to Colonel Souter, the Chairman of the Moray Committee, Mr. W. D. G. Chalmers, the Hon. Secretary, and Mr. J . B. Brown, the Hon. Trea urer, Up~)ll whose shoulders the main burden of administration fell, and to Mls Brown of Dipple and the many ladie who organi ed a considerable money-raising activity.

Her interest in, and great generosity to the Guild will be sadly missed. We had a most successful and happy evening at the House of Fraser for the Annual Whist and Bridge Party, and our sincere thanks go to Lord Fraser for his generosity. We all congratulate Lord Fraser of Allander on his promotion to the Peerage. During the year the hospital has been supplied with linen glass and china. The £100 donation we gave was used to redecorate staff'rooms and buying bedside lamps and rugs. Our thanks are due to the Rt. Honourable The Lord Provost for a lovely Christmas tree and to all those who gave gifts to the patients and staff.

THE ORDER OF ST. JOH

DATlO

MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOT DEPARTMENT

During 1964, stocks at the existing Depots have been maintained and replacements made where necessary. As previously reported, a few of our m.aUer Depots have been inactive for some time and the depot at Torphlchen has closed down. This is due to staffing difficulties and the fact that there has been very little demand for sickroom requisites which are now being supplied under the National Health Act. Priory takes this opportunity of recording its grateful thanks to the voluntary workers who give so much of their valuable time and energies in maintaining the various Depots.

HOSPITAL-PARK HOME

The St. John Foundation Hospital has contributed another year of service to the citizen of Glasgow. Throughout the year 1964 the daily bed average was 14.5, while the births within the Maternity ection reached the figure of 198. Operations performed reached a total number of 424. It is a source of great sati faction to all Confrere and those associated with the Priory of Scotland, that our Foundation Ho pital i so well regarded and provides so neces ary and acceptable a ervice. Throughout the year, while the normal work of maintenance \ a ustained, the Committee's policy to consolidate their finance in order to be able to tackle considerable improvement to the kitchen and taff accommodation was implemented. Although e timates indicate that the cost may exceed £1,000 it is the intention of the Committee that the e departments should be completely moderni ed. There is little doubt that our Park Home is the premier Nursing e tabli hment in the City and there is every reason to believe that its ervices will be in ever-increa ing demand. The Committee are yielding still more accommodation to the care of the fragile elderly with a corresponding demand upon charitable funds. The Committee would desire to acknowledge with gratitude the work of the Ladies' Linen Guild in regulating the supply and contribution of linen, crockery and household utensils. The overhead costs of staff and maintenance constantly ri e. Notwithstanding this, it has been found possible to maintain an average of ten heavily subsidised beds at a cost of approximately £3,000 per annum. THE U

At the Annual General Meeting held in the Banqueting Hall in the City Chamber, by the courtesy of the Lord Provost and Magistrates, Mrs. Robert on and Mr. Harris were re-elected Honorary Secretary and Honorary Trea urer respectively, and we are most grateful to them for all their work during the past year.

THE ST. JOHN ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND (Aberdeen Branch) It gives me great pleasure to report another very successful year In Aberdeen. We received several legacies totalling £1,119, which brought our income to the magnificent total of £1,900. In September the Aberdeen and County Floral Group staged a demonstration in our hall and in conjunction with thi we held a small Garden Party. This effort raised £205 and we are most grateful to the Group for their generosity in handing over the entire proceeds to us. Our Gift Centre had one of its most prosperous sea ons and thanks to this our income increa ed this year. We are most grateful to the people of Aberdeen for their growing interest in our "Shop". Patients' fees have been subsidi ed in the St. John Nur ing Home to the extent of £306 and we hould very much like to see an increase in this direction. Our Ballater Branch ha been active as ever and I append a short report from the Chairman, Lady Paget:"As Chairman of the Ballater Branch it give me very great plea ure to report the continuance of our band of workers here in supplying garment , etc., for the Gift Centre in Aberdeen, and in con equence we were able to end in money and goods amounting to £104 10 ." In conclusion, I thank everyone who has made my ta k a Chairman o plea ant, e pecially the member of my Committee.

E BRIGADl:.

During 1964 the membership of the Brigade fell by only 23 to a total of 11,533. This is a distinct improvement on recent year which have shown an increasing annual loss since 1958. To help sustain this upward trend plans are being laid for a Brigade recruiting year to commence in September ] 965 with the target of a 15 % increase to provide for the ever-growing demand upon Brigade services. The comparative table below reveals a reduction of 28 in the number of Divisions due to the removal of inactive units from the regi ter and the amalgamation of certain ambulance and nursing divi ions into combined units . The number of Corps, reduced from 36 to 22, reflect a change in administration only.

BRIGADE ACTiVITiES

The Cro.ss Keys hall erect~d with the help of a grant in 1963, was officially opened lJ1 June by the ChIef Commissioner for Wales. A Carmarthenshire scheme which had benefited by grant aid was brought to fulfilment by the formal opening of the Pontyberem Ambulance Hall by the President of the St. John Council on the 12th September. North Wales figures in this report through the opening of a fine divisional headquarters at Wrexham. Here acknowledgment can be made of the generous help of the Hospital Management Committee whose Group Secretary negotiated the gift of a free site. It is not without significance that the Commissioner for East Denbighshire had succeeded in encouraging all the nursing personnel in his county to enrol in the N.H.S.R. and every nursing division maintains a team to compete in the Minister's Cup N.H.S.R. Competitions. The cost of this excellent hall was borne entirely by the Wrexham Ambulance Division and the building is being vested in the Priory Trustees. Another North Wales project is a new hall to be erected at Llangollen on a site to be placed at the disposal of the Ambulance Division by the local Council.

The table below gives first place to the time devoted by Brigade member to their organi ed public duties and services and it is most revealing to see a total of 152,013 hours spent rendering skilled ervice in an entirely voluntary capacity. Thi record of time does not take into account the hours each member has to spend in attendance at lecture and practices for the requisite annual requalification. In the next group of figures one reads that 18,737 cases were treated off public duty and thi indicates the extent of the unofficial calls St. John members can expect to receive from friends and neighbours. It is very heartening to see that cadet spent 37,319 hours in u eful ervices and there is no doubt that member hip of the St. John Cadet movement i providing a fertile field [or recruitment into the nur ing profession 64 cadet having left the Brigade in 1964 for this purpo e.

The Priory records with gratitude a continuance of the financial upport received from the South Western Divisional Board, N . . B., totalling £27000 from 1951, which has grant-aided the erection of thirty-six new balls and fifty-seven renovations. The 1964 grant of £ 1,500 \\ a a igned to schemes in Glarnorgan and Monmouthshire. In Glamorgan £500 was allocated to Senghenydd where a tart ha been made on the erection of a new headquarters and a further grant of £250 was made towards the Glynneath Ambulance Hall. In Monmouthshire the sum of £750 was given toward the erection o[ a hall at Bedwas which it is hoped will be completed early in 1965. Another project nearing completion is the Tredegar Ambulance Hall.

Quoting from the Training Officer's report, proper instruction and practice in Fir t Aid are impossible without casualties; and genuine ca ualtie cannot be upplied to order. Therefore, the art of the acting patient, or "ca ualty imulation," has been one of the main themes of training e ion up and down the country, and notably at the North and South Wales autumn Training Courses, which were exceedingly fortunate in having the Surgeon-in-Chief, Mr. H. S. Taylor-Young, a i ted by a team from London. By popular consent these Courses were once again open to adult members of the Brigade as well as to officer, and a a re ult it is hoped that eventually every Division will have trained ca ualtie for use in instruction, in practice and examinations a well a competition. At both these Cour es an accident was staged typifying a pile-up of vehicles on a motorway. Members attending acted a the ca ualtie , and it wa their performance, rather than the first aid rendered, which came under the judge eyes for later comment and di cu ion. A new enrolment ceremony for admission of members and the promotion of cadet into the Adult Brigade was demonstrated at the Cour e . "Nursing Divi ions- The Way Ahead" wa the subject of a day conference for County/Area Officers (Nursing) held in Cardiff in May. The Chief Superintendent for Wales, presided, and the principal speakers were Mis Muriel Wat on, O.B.E., Principal Administrative Officer for London Headquarter, and Mr . S. E. Mathias, S.R.N., the County Nursing Officer, Montgomery hire. A econd King George VI Leadership Course made possible by a grant from that fund wa held at St. Athan Boys' Village. Young members of the Brigade from fifteen Countie jAreas attended. Mr. J. D. Gibson, Principal of the Briti h Railways School of Transport, gave excellent talks and demonstrations on "How to Teach"; and on the Saturday afternoon all engaged in a map-reading expedition in the Brecon Beacons. In November many of them met for a Leadership Cour eRe-union in Cardiff when they were addressed by the Principal Secretary on the

importance he attached to the part they could play in the Brigade. Two outside conferences, one arranged by the Youth Department of the Council of Churches in Wales, and the other by the South-East Wales Regional Standing Conference of Voluntary Youth Organisations were attended by a strong contingent of teenagers, all of whom spoke in glowing terms of their experiences and in June one young Divisional Superintendent (Nursing) was selected to join a youth party visiting Russia . The total number of appointments of County/Area Training Officers rose during the year to seven. It is hoped that an increasing number of local training sessions will be held with a higher standard of fir t aid resulting and that similar appointments will follow everywhere. An excellent Training Day for Cadet Leaders and N .CO.s was organised by Monmouthshire. Glamorgan ran a weekend re idential course, attended not only by Cadets from that County but from neighbouring ones. Swansea County held its second annual Training Day which wa so successful that it has been decided to hold it in bigger premi es next year, and to invite adult members and member of the British Red Cro Society. The Priory Cadet Camp was held on a beautiful site overlooking the bay at Newport, Pembrokeshire, the Commandant being County Staff Officer (Cadets) J. P. Harries. The Camp was followed by Rhondda County using the same site and equipment. The Principal Secretary visited the later camp and was very impressed by all he saw. He hope that officers and adult members will qualify themselves by attending Training Camps, to take their own cadet to camp 0 that every cadet in Wales who wishes to camp shall not be denied the opportunity.

Thi year practical expression was given to a long felt desire to have ome of the ceremonial occasions arranged outside Cardiff. A most succe ful Review and Commemoration Service was held at Bangor on Sunday, 3rd May. The Lord Lieutenant (Sir Michael Duff) and the Mayor of Bangor jointly took the salute at the March Past of 779 Brigade member this being followed by a Service in Bangor Cathedral attended by over 900 people. The Bi hop of Bangor preached the sermon and the Ie on wa read by the Prior. Eighteen members of the Chapter wearing robe walked into the Cathedral in proce sion supported by the Bangor City Council. The Chief Commi sioner would wish to have recorded his gratitude to the Deputy Commi sioner and the Director of Ceremonie for their able a i tance in the organi ation of the functions. The Chief Commi ioner conducted al 0 the Gwent County Area Review, on the arne day opening the Crosskeys Ambulance Hall. The Montgomery hire County Review wa carried out by himself with the Chief Superintendent for Wales. Accompanied by the County Superintendent (N) for Monmouthshire, Mi E. Kinsey, the Chief Commissioner reviewed the Barry County Area and in reviewing the Silurian County Area and the L1ynfi Valley Corp of Bridgend County he was accompanied by the Principal Secretary. The Chief Surgeon for Wales conducted reviews in the Carmarthenshire County, the Aberavon County Area and Aberdare County, the latter being associated as usual with a church service. The A si tant Chief Commissioner with the Assistant Chief Superintendent, Mr . W. R.

NATIONAL HOSPITAL SERVICE RESERVE

In November 1964 the N.H.S.R. reached its fifteenth birthday. From the inception of thi Reserve which comes under the control of the Ministry of Health and is admini tered by the Regional Hospital Boards Wales has given substantial support in the recruitment and training of the Nursing Auxiliary section of the Reserve. The Mini try's late t halfyearly return for 30th September, 1964, shows that toward a peacetime target of 6,750 the contribution of the Brigade in Wales at pre ent stands at 3 808 along ide 2,657 recruited and trained under the auspice of the B.R.C.S. This well su tained effort ha not been without benefit to the Brigade for many cla se and even divi ion have been founded on the result of recruiting drives sponsored by the hospital management committees. Notwith tanding the purpose of the .H.S.R. in relation to Civil Defence the main theme of the campaign i the peacetime value of the training provided in first aid and horne nur ing ; and the grants obtainable from the Ministry relieve the two Voluntary Organisation entirely of financial burden in respect of N.H.S.R. commitment. Each year there is a highly intere ting eries of competition within the ho pital group then at area, regional, semi-final and final levels . The 1964 winners of the Welsh Hospital Board final conte t "a a team based on Llanelly Ho pital composed equally of St. John and Red Cros nursing auxiliaries. Competing uccessfully in the semi-final they won the privilege of competing for the Mini ter' Cup in London where they gained third place. The Welsh Ho pita) Board has added a further competitive event which has become an annual feature at the Royal ational Eisteddfod, the Aberdare General Ho pital team being ucce ful in the 1964 Eisteddfod held in Swansea. In areas where call upon the Brigade for public duties are Ie numerou, the link with a local hospital provided by the Re erve on an optional basis can have a revitali ing effect upon a divi ion . A onc member of an East Denbighshire division put it, "There cea ed to be a dull moment in our Division after joining the .H .S. R ." MEDICAL COMFORTS D POTS

The Staffing of 43 Depots, from which medical requl lte and ick room comforts are i sued on a loan basis, continues to provide a u eful channel for Brigade service in the alleviation of suffering. A the number and location of these Depots remains the same as tho e recorded in the 1963 Report the detailed county return i not repeated here. Rho ( ast Denbighshire) Depot heads the list in re pect of the highest number of articles issued from anyone Depot during the pa t year, viz ., 253 , and under Brigade county grouping the Borough of Merthyr Tydfil top the list for the highest average number of i ue per depot within a county. At Newport (Mon.) a second Depot ha been opened at the new headquarters and an announcement of the daily hour of opening appear in the local newspaper every Monday. The Depot at Priory House dealt with the issue of 2,737 articles. The equipment is usually taken out for a period of up to one month and renewals are arranged subsequently as required. It is not surprising to find that the average duration of the loan period on the free i sue ub-

indicate that during the year the Organisation was kept busy with its u ual service to the public, such as First Aid Stations, public duties at all sporting events, transport of the sick and injured and the many other services which are naturally expected from St. John. Members of St. John rendered valuable assistance at a number of road and railway accidents and other disa ters which took place during the year. The tandard of the Brigade throughout South Africa is still being maintained at a very high level and in all Centres and Districts I have noticed a pirit o[ enthu iasm. I wish to pay special tribute to the South frican Railway and Harbours Command who are a real credit to the Brigade as a whole.

GOLDE CO CLUSIO

In my first year of office I most humbly ofTer my service to the Order and members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Wale. I have set my elf three targets for the en uing year. Firstly, to put our finances on a sound footing. To t~i ~nd 1 have launched our great appeal for £100000. With the expiratIOn of the Post-war Fund accumulated during the la t war it i vital that \ e a k the public-Local Government, Indu try and Individu al -. to give u the money to maintain the service we give to the communIty. A great man once said. "Give u the tools and we will fini h the j b.' The sa~e applies today in re pect of our t. John Ambulance Brigade in Wales but in our case the tool are money. Secondly, I am etting out to build up our St. John Council throughout the Principality. These Council are as important to u ' a the T . . A.F. Associations of Counties are to the Territorial Army. We cannot expect the support we need unle s we have the intere .t and backing of the community represented on our St. ] ohn Counctl by members of Local Government, Indu try, Education Youth Movement and other bodies. Thirdly, I have tried at little ex pen e to give our Headq uarter ~~ the Priory a more dignified look. All must forgive me for my long mIlitary background but I have always been brought up to believe that a good unit is a proud unit. I hope very much that everyone will approve my alteration and agree

FERENCE

The Annual Ambulance Conference which wa held at Kimberley from the 14th to 18th October, was an outstanding success. A number of very important matters were discussed, but what was far more important, the Conference gave members who had assembled from all over the Republic and South West Africa a chance of meeting each other in the true pirit of St. John. It was a coincidence that one of the first meetings of the newly formed Commandery of the Order was held in Kimberley on 4th October, 1930, and it was at that meeting of the Commandery that it wa decided that the Chief Commi sioner should hold an annual Ambulance Conference at one of the Centre. It was also intere ting to place on record at this Conference that perhaps one of the most heroic efforts made by the Nursing and Ambulance Division in South Africa took place during the Spanish Influenza Epidemic in October 1918 at Kimberley . The Kimberley Centre were our hosts. I take thi opportunity of thanking the Chairman and Directors of de Beers Con olidated Mine and the Mayor of the City of Kimberley for their very fine reception which they gave. I was privileged to see the competition of the de Beer Con olidated Mines Native Underground First Aid Team.

The provision of Headquarter for leader hip, training and the educational side of our programme is vital to our growth, and we are mo t grateful to the public-spirited citizen of New Zealand, who, recognizing the value of our work have 0 generou ly ubscribed money and many hours of voluntary labour in the building of our hall . . I believe that with the rapid growth in population we mu t contmually plan to provide hall in new hou ing area, in other word, we mu t plan

HIS EXCELLE CY THE PRIOR

to take First Aid to the people as the people will not travel long journeys to come to us. In conclusion, I would refer Confreres to our Chaplain's report in which he says: "One cannot ask for God's blessing on one's work and then appear to carryon as if he did not exist. The Chaplain's interest and presence at a business meeting is a testimony that our prayers and our work are all of a piece."

His Excellency the Prior in addressing Priory Chapter, said :-"Member of our Most Venerable Order, members of the St. John Ambulance As ociation and members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade throughout New Zealand will hare with Confreres today their sense of sadness in the sudden passing of our revered and loved Chancellor.

Department, Order of St. John and British Red Cro Society. The cost of this work i met from interest from and proceed of ale of inve tments. There are et out below note on certain item appearing in the Accounts. BALANCE SHEET I.

Gral7d Priory Church Rebuilding Fund

The re ponse to the Grand Prior s Appeal launched in Autumn 1961 had attained by 30 September, 1964, the sum of over £17,000 (including e timated value of annual covenant ). In the year under review a further £2,324 wa applied in partial repayment of the loan by the General Fund reducing it to £11,435.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

St. John Ophthalmic Hospital and Research Fund, Jerusalem The Hospital building in Israel was sold in May 1964 for the net sum of £99,432. On 30 June, 1964, the interest free loan of £100,000 from the Post-War Fund was repaid. At the meeting in July, 1964, Chapter-General resolved that a grant of £100,000 be made to the New Appea~, the sum being payable in four annual instalment of £25,000. (The first mstalment wa made in November 1964).

CONCLUDING COMMENTS

90 2.

Il11'estments Several change in investments, mostly in the hare of British industrial and commercial companies were made during the year. The net profit from the sales amounted to £50,814 of which £22,209 belong to the General Fund. The only major change in investment policy durin~ the year was to place on short-term loan a large~' amount of~he money available for inve tment. Thi policy of greater cautlOn wa motivated by the m~ny uncertainties which were in evidence toward the close of the accountmg year. The sum of £175,000 was accordingly retained on ter.nporary deposit with Local Authorities. The overall market value of the mve tments wa £1,456,212 compared with a co t of £1,477995. 4.

St. John's Gate Work of a major nature at st. John' Gate wa tarted duri~g the ~ear and the urn of £7 244 wa spent by the end of the accountmg perlOd. This sum, together with further urn due in the current year~ and amounting in all to about £40,000 is being capitalized and appears In the Balance Sheet a an addition to the book value of the property.

The following figures, which are adjusted by the elimination of certain non-recurring items, show the trend of expenditure: 1959

£ 134,47J

1960 £ 136,867

1961 £ 156,915

1962 £ 169,890

1963 £ 178,118

1964 £ 181,216

There is once again nothing in sight which is likely to halt the growth of expenditure, but income has been improved substantially by the restoration of the surplus from the Stores Department to its former level and by the increase of the Association's examination registration fees. A Committee was set up at the beginning of 1964 for the purpose of making a public appeal for £1,000,000 to provide for the continued upkeep of the Hospital and the expansion of research. This is the largest appeal in time of peace ever undertaken by the Order. If successful, it will assure, for very many years to come, the continuation of the outstanding work being done by the Hospital and will enable full advantage to be taken of the opportunities now imminent for alleviating and overcoming the disease of trachoma. The Order will continue to contribute the basic sum of £15,000 per annum and there is every reason to believe that the additional £5,000 paid for the past three years can be consolidated so as to make an aggregate sum of £20,000 per annum. In general, the state of the Order's finances is more satisfactory than for several year. Nevertheless, present resources are fully committed to the future support of the Order, the Association, the Brigade and the contributions to the Hospital and associated research. LEWIS G. WHYTE, Receiver-General

That the Knights who should make their profession In it should adorn their Knighthood with a true Charity, the mother and solid foundation of all virtues, with hospital service, and a sincere attachment to the Faith, and being employed in these various functions, should only seek to distinguish themselves by a course of virtue. Soldiers of Jesus Christ are designed only to fight for His Glory, to maintain His worship, to love, reverence and preserve ju tice, to favour, support and defend such as are oppressed, without neglecting the duties oj holy hospital service.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

RESEARCH By the end of the year plans were far advanced for the trial of the

trachom~ vaccine in Iran, a ~roject to be carried out by staff partly from the MedIcal Rese~rch .Council and par~ly from the Institute of Ophthalmol~gy of the Ulllversity of London, wIth the enthusiastic support of the IranIan Gov~rnment. In t~e expenses of this the Order is participating.

Report of the Hospitaller and Hospital Committee for 1964 including the REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL SUB-COMMITTEES

The Hospitaller and the Committee of the Opht~almic H.ospital have the honour to submit their seventy-third report covenng the elghty~second year of the Hospital for the information of H .R.H . The Grand Pnor and the Chapter-General. GE ERAL A year of peace and prosperity in Jordan has b.een a year of increasingly heavy work and of achievement at ~he Hospital. We have also been exceptionally busy in LO.n don. prepanng for the Appeal for new funds which was mentioned bnefly m our Report for 1963 . . Last year we had to report a small d.rop in the number of pat~~nt attendances at the Hospital; and we predl~ted th~t ~he e would stablltse around 80,000 per year in future . But this predictIOn ha . b~en utterly confounded by figures of 105 000 this year. 0 si~gle convmclll~ rea on is forthcoming to explain this w~at ~ncrea e. It 1 per~ap at.t nbutable chiefly to the rising standard of hVlllg m the Arab cou.ntne which allo:",s people to pay more attention to their he~l~h and permits the~ more eastly to make the journey to Jerusalem. But It 1. rea onable. to .belteve t.h at the growing fame of the Hospi.tal ha . somethlllg to do :Vlth It. Certamly :",e have noticed this year an mcrea lng number of patlent~ from. countnes other than Jordan; 282 came from Syria 166 from Saudi Arabia and 113 from Iraq. . . . . . Another thermometer which IS surely slgmficant 1 the. record of applications for admission. These have more than doubled m the last. three years. Here is proof, if any were needed, of the value of our Ho pltal to the Arab countries. The number of admissions has also slightly increased, but we are, of course, limited by the number of beds avail~ble;. and the . number ~f operations has exceeded 6,000 for the first t~me m our hI. tory. ThIS represents about 23 operations on each workmg day, and 1.S an effort only exceeded by such vast ophthalmic ho~pitals as Moorfield m London. Great credit is due to the Warden and hi staff whose efforts have made this possible.

The populatIOn among whIch the research team is to work is being surveyed by a tea~ of experts from the Iranian Ministry of Health under ~r?fessor Mofidl of the Depa~tment of .Epidemiology and Parasitology, hv~ng quarters and laboratones are bemg provided, and everything is bemg prepared so that our research work can start in April 1965. As mentioned in our Report of last year, it is hoped that as a result we will be able to make ~:)Ur hospital the centr~ of an anti-trachoma campaign through.out the MIddle E~st. In. preparatIOn for this we are now proposing to furnIsh our laboratones wIth the required apparatus, while Dr. A. Tarazi, from the Augusta Victoria Hospital, is acting as our honorary pathologist. HOSPIT AL COMMITTEE We are happy to record the appointment to the Committee of Professor Sir Charles Dodds, M.V.O., F.R.S., the President of the Royal College of Physicians. Professor Dodds joined us in May and we are very glad indeed that the Committee has the benefit of his wisdom and experience. HOSPITAL STAFF Our thank are once again due to our staff in Jerusalem who so cheerfully tackle such a formidable programme of work. That they are able to achieve so much and yet to retain their enthusiasm and good humour~nd their health- i due in no small part to the inspiring example which IS set by our Warden, Dr. Boase. He himself works longer hours than anyone and seems able to meet an exhausting programme for months on end without ill effect. He i surely guided by the maxim: "il n'y a d'autre bonheur que de donner de son mieux." Indeed the tone of our Hospital has been largely set in recent years by Dr. and Mrs. Boase. It is a tone of hard work and enthu iasm, of satisfaction in the knowledge of duty well done, and of determination to give of one's best to people who are so tragically in need of help. Our sympathy goes out to Dr. Budeiri who suffered a great loss in the death of his sister in December. He has had another busy year rendered more difficult by his anxiety on her behalf. As usual there have been many changes amongst the other surgical staff, most of whom come to Jerusalem for a period of one year or less; these have been detailed in the Warden's Report. We are particularly happy that the Services continue to second officers to us; they make very happy members of our community and no better field for the practice of the surgery of the eye could be found for them. The international nature of our staff has been exemplified during the past year by the acquisition of an Australian urgeon and an American, the !atter sent under the auspices of the Washington Eye-bank. Most interestIng of all is the presence of the fir t Arab woman doctor on the staff; she

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

is also the first of her sex to become an ophthalmic surgeon in Jordan, and a very capable surgeon, as well as a very delightful person, she is . Our Matron, Miss Blewitt, enjoyed a long holiday in Canada during the summer and returned refreshed to her duties in Jerusalem. The Sisters of the staff are still mainly maintained by appointments from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, and we are again greatly indebted to that hospital and its Matron, Miss MacKellar, for their interest in our hospital and the help they give it in this vital way. Under this British staff the Arab nurses and the Nursing School have had another flourishing year. It will be noticed that the list of staff members printed earlier in this Report records the names of more Assistant Surgeons and Nursing Sisters than in previous years. This arrangement has been adopted in order that a proper record should be made of all those who have served the Hospital, some of whom, who arrived or who left in the course of the year, might otherwise pass unmentioned. Although more names are shown than in previous years yet the numbers at the Hospital at anyone time has remained the same.

on the Hospital alone is already more than our income. Moreover the Res~~rch Campaign, with the hopes it now holds out of putting us in a pOSitIOn to make a real advance m the control of trachoma in the not so distant future, urgently demands our attention. The Appeal which we have decided to launch in May 1965 is therefore very necessary. We calculate that we need £1 million in order to ensure the financial security. of the .Hospi~al for the next few years, to give the Research Campaign the smews. It needs, ~nd to be able without delay to ~ake u.se ~f the trac~om~ vaccme, when It becomes available, for a great ImmUnIZatIOn campaign III the Middle East. But when we decided to launch the Appeal we could not have foreseen how very unfavourable conditions would be in 1965 for raising money for chanty . howeve~ worthy the cause. Indeed we could hardly have struck a more difficult time. But we must go on, for it is unthinkable that this g~eat enterprise of ours should be allowed to flag. We have many good f[lends all over the world and we ask them all to help us to raise the ~oney we ne~d. We are striving to bring the gift of sight to millions. This IS a work whlch must appeal to every member of our Order. It is a cause which all must be proud to help.

PROPERTY OF THE ORDER We have to record this year the sale of the Old Ho pital on the Bethlehem Road in Israel. Members of the Order may feel sad that the Order has parted with this property which was our home in Jerusalem from 1882 until 1948, but it was right that we should do so . We have not been able to use the buildings at any time since the partition of Palestine in 1948 when they were left immediately on the Israeli side of the Armistice Line ; for a number of reasons we could not even accept rent from the squatter who occupied them. This position appeared unlikely to alter so long as relations between Israel and the Arab States were unchanged and it was wrong that we should allow a considerable sum of capital to be tied up indefinitely in this way. When the Israeli Government made a very rea onable offer for the property earlier this year we were therefore happy to conclude the sale. The proceeds were owed to the Order, which orne years ago gave an interest-free loan to the Hospital and Research Fund on the ecurity of this property; this debt has been repaid , and the Order ha been generous enough to transmit the full sum back to our Fund as a contribution towards the new Appeal. FINA CE Despite every care our expenses have again ri sen slightly this year. Our bills for food , electricity and water, and for maintenance and repairs of the Hospital fabric increased by a gross amount of £2,700; and the additional cost of the new salary scales for Jordanian staff which were adopted on the 1st October, 1963, amounted to a further £1 ,600. These increases were only partially offset by a number of small economies in other recurrent items. Indeed we can see now that in the four full years since we occupied the new Hospital our expenses have been rising at an average rate of £2,500 or 4 % per year. We hope it will be agreed that in the light of the teadily rising cost of living, from which Jordan is in no way exempt, this is a very modest increase. But nevertheless it is one we cannot afford , for our expenditure

LADIES' SUB-COMMITTEES The interest taken in the Hospital and the help given to it by the various La~ie Sub-committees have increased considerably in the year under review · the value of this practical interest and encouragement and the immen e contribution their efforts make to the comfort and happiness of our nu.r .ing staff a~d . patients , .h.ave been stressed in previous Reports. In additIOn to provIdmg necessities such as linen and nurses' uniforms, and ~l?thing for indigent patients, they allow the hospital to provide amemtles uch as are not easily included in the official budget, and thus add greatly to the spirit of our institution. These Sub-committees include the Linen Guild in London under the Presidency of H.R.H. The Duchess of 910uce ter and the Chairmanship of Lady Scarbrough, the Linen Guild of Ca nada, Au tralia and ew Zealand and, last but not least, the Ladie ' Sub-committee in Jerusalem. THE JERUSALEM LADIES' SUB-COMMITTEE Under the enthu ia tic presidency of Mrs. MacInnes, the wife of the Archbi hop in Jeru alem and the indefatigable and able secretaryship of Mr . Boase, this Sub-committee continued its invaluable work which the Warden has noted in his Report. The Hospital Committee record their appreci ation of the continued interest shown by these ladies, and their thank for the work they devote to increasing the efficiency of the Hospital and the happiness of the patients. THA KS . Our warm thanks are due to those many private people and organisatIOns who have helped us financially over the past year; we hope that during 1965, when our Appeal for £1 million will be launched, this kindne and enthusiasm will be continued and increased. To the American Society of St. John we extend our thanks for the effort it i making on our behalf, and to the International Eye-bank in

WARDEN'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1964

STEWART DUKE-ELDER, Hospitaller.

RETROSPECT

Fortune smiled on Jordan in 1964 and even the farmers had to admit that it was an exceptionally good year with an above average rainfall. The year opened auspiciously with the visit to Jordan in January of His Holiness the Pope; it closed somewhat ominously to the noise of sabrerattling, and bursts of machine gun-fire on Mount Scopus. Among the many dignitaries to receive the Pope on his arrival from Amman at the Damascus Gate was our Hospitaller who braved the bitter weather and the frightening pressure of the crowds to be present at the reception. Sir Stewart concluded his visit and returned to London on January 5th. But time flies in Jerusalem and it did not seem a year before we were welcoming him and Lady Duke-Elder back again in December, this time for a longer stay by way of a recuperative rest. Some folk have strange ideas of what a recuperative rest should be. We can only hope that Sir Stewart had his when he got back to London· for he did not have it here. The Lord Prior paid a most welcome visit to the hospital in July . During his stay Lord Wakehurst held a reception at which he invested Mrs. Barbara Ghattas with the insignia of a Serving Sister in the Order. We congratulate one of our old Sisters on this honour, likewise on the birth of Tewfiq in November. Sir Edwin Chapman-Andrews, Honorary Treasurer of the Hospital Committee, spent a few days with us early in the year. This gave him the opportunity to familiarise himself, as befits a zealous treasurer, with the internal working and financial management of the hospital. We would assure him that his promised return visit is eagerly awaited. In October the Sovereign and Military Order (Knights of Malta) came to Jerusalem on prilgrimage, and a very fine spectacle they presented as they processed in mantles and regalia from Jaffa Gate to the Holy Sepulchre. Is it too pious a hope that one day the Venerable Order will undertake a similar pilgrimage? The Hospital was highly honoured by a courtesy vi it on the part of the Grand Hospitaller of the Sovereign Order, Carl Wolfgang Graf von Ballestrem. There were many visitors to the Hospital during the year. Australia was well represented by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hall from Melbourne, Miss Jean Hu ey from South Australia, Dr. and Mrs. Selwyn-Nelson from Sydney, all members of the Order, and others. It was also a pleasure to receive a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Keith Kane of the American Society of St. John. It is to us always di appointing that of the large numbers of tourists and pilgrims who come from Britain so very few vi it the Hospital. When asked why this should be so some have replied that they did not know of the existence of the Hospital, or that it had any remote connection with Britain, and they have been surprised to learn of its relationship to the familiar Ambulance and Brigade. We have even been mistaken for the Danish consulate because of the similarity of the two flags. However, in future we should not be expo ed to these humiliations, for it has now been decided that the Hospital is to be identified by having its title in large letters on the side of the building adjacent to the Nablus Road (the main entry road from the airport). Thi should at least give a hint to vi itors of "English spoken here. ' But not everyone from Britain passes by and of those who did vi it us we were very pleased to receive Barone s Lady

There seemed to be a steady stream of doctors coming and going during the year, so that at one time or another ten different urgeon worked at the Hospital in 1964. Dr. Alf Fjordbotten, holder of the Bunker Fellowship of the International Eye-bank left on May 1st. He i now settled in the United States where we wish him every succe . He wa ucceeded by Dr. Harry Caldwell in July, the interim three month being filled by Dr. Andrew Ferry both of them American. The latter will be remembered for the instructive contributions he made to our clinical meeting. Early in the year we were fortunate in having Dr. Peter Watson seconded to us from Moorfields for three month. Though we tried to per uade him to tay on thi wa not to be; the problem of educati ng a young family in Jordan are really forbidding. Dr. Joe 0' ullivan from Sydney, N.S.W., joined u on May 25th . Quite apart from hi profe ional attributes he is unique as a member of the taff; he i a bachelor, a heaven sent gift to haras ed ho te ses . Dr. Andrew Rintoul left on June 19th to return to hi po t with the Royal avy at Ha lar. The avy ha regained a very competent urgeon; we have 10 tone. Our pioneering Arab lady doctor, ura el Ai h, i till \ ith u and will be until she leave in September 1965 to take up a Briti h Council cholarship in London.

Of the nursing si ters, two returned to Moorfield Eye Ho pital and one became a full-time Jerusalem hou ewife. In their place we welcome three others from London. Our Matron Mi nn Blewitt, pent a abbatical leave of three months in Canada where he'v\a able to e tabli h contact with the ladies of the Linen Guild through the kindne of Mr . Willi O 'Connor. Three of the four student nur es who took the 1964 final e amination passed; two of them have already gone to Saudi Arabia where their training should be of immen e benefit to the many amicted with eye diseases in that country.

One of the former wa sent here from the Lebanon. Encouraging reports have been received on their sub equent work in outlying clinics.

REPORT

Moorfields Eye Hospital, for his invaluable help in teaching him and for being so kind to him while in London. Fresh ground was broken in the summer by accepting a final-year medical student from St. Thomas's Hospital, London, for undergraduate study in ophthalmology. It is gratifying that the University authorities in England recognize St. John as an acceptable teaching institution for the purpose. The experiment was a success, so much so that other students have already applied and are being encouraged by the Dean of the medical school to do so. LADIES' JERUSALEM SUB-COMMITTEE

The honorary secretary, Mrs . A. J. Boase, has contributed the following report. "The committee continues to work under the chairmanship of Mrs. Mad nnes , and met nine times during 1964. There was an alteration in membership owing to the regretted departure of Mrs. Maitland and Mrs. Hamilton, who were replaced by Mrs. Pullar and Mrs. Wilson whose husbands are, respectively, the Consuls-General of Great Britain and the United States. The committee concerned itself mainly with:(a) The recruitment of student nurses. This is still a difficult problem and one that will not be solved quickly. Despite many requests that the educational standard should be lowered the committee fully upported the Matron in her insistence on quality rather than quantity where pro pective candidates were concerned. (b) Sewing Guild. The bi-monthly meetings have been very well attended and a great deal of invaluable work for the hospital carried out. (c) First Aid. In pite of her many commitments Mrs. MacInnes was able to organize a course at the y.W.C.A. All the eight girls pa ed the examination and obtained the Government First Aid certificate. (d) 'Blind" Welfare. This work continues to expand and to be increa ingly appreciated by nearly 200 blind men, women and children living in the vicinity of Jerusalem and even as far north a ablus. Informal talks and concerts were greatly enjoyed throughout the year, while the summer picnic and Christmas parties aw record attendances." TATISTICS

The quinquennial table shows some variation from other years. The fact that the num ber of surgical operation pa ed the 6000 mark for the first time in our hi tory i perhap of interest. It i evident, however, that we have really reached saturation point in this respect, and fluctuation round the pre ent figure i to be e pected in the future. There is a real need for another operating theatre for with only two theatres cases tend to be held up in a bottle-neck . A K OWLEDGME TS

On thi matter of want and needs it behove me to express our deep gratitude to the Californian branch of the American Society of St. John,

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

and in particular to Dr. Upjohn of California, for its great generosity. in presenting us with the very latest model of the Haag-Streit corneal microscope. The gift of this expensive instrument has gone a long way to facilitate work in the out-patient clinic. The Staff Christmas dinner and dance were held on 28th December and were as heretofore a great success. At such times we are always very conscious of the many ladies on the different Linen Guilds in Britain and the Commonwealth whose gen~rosity makes these celebrations possible, and to them we can only offer III return a heartfelt "Thank you."

subscribed for the purpose in Canada. They will replace toys supplied in 1960, some of which are quite beyond further repair. Three new members have joined the Committee, and we are happy to welcome them to it. The Marchioness of Zetland and Lady George joined during the year, and at the last meeting of the Committee, held in October, it was proposed and unanimously agreed that Lady Wakehurst, the wife of the Lord Prior, should be invited to join us. We are happy that Lady Wakehurst has accepted this invitation. We are also very happy to be able to congratulate her on the award of the D.B.E. in the New Year Honours List, 1965.

Our friends both at home and abroad have been especially generou with their gifts thi year. From Canada a stream of parcel ha gone direct to the Hospital , and they have sent many contribution in ca h also. Our Australian friends have excelled themselve , and ew Zealand has again sent u packing cases of most welcome knitted good and other clothing and stores for the use of the patients; a selection from this large and valuable consignment was made by Lady Freyberg and wa shown to the Committee in October. We are most grateful for all these gift. A I reported la t year there are a number of directions in which we would like to help the Ho pital more, and we are now better able to do so. We have heard from Lady Duke-Elder, who was at the Ho pital for Christmas, how much the Christmas festivities are appreciated. In addition to the patients, the Hospital staff is now over 100 strong and it is quite an undertaking to decorate the Hospital and to make all the arrangements for a Christmas party for such large numbers. But it is particularly fitting that the whole of our Hospital community should celebrate Christmas together in Jerusalem, and we think our member would like to know that their contributions help to make this possible. The Hospital is now more than four years old and we mu t expect that much of the equipment which was supplied when it wa new will soon be in need of replacement. Indeed this year, in addition to normal purchases of linen and other needs, we have decided to send a number of new toys for the Children's Ward; these have been bought with money especially

The greater publicity now being given to first aid and health in general ha led to an ever widening reali ation of the cope of the Brigade's work and thi ha inevitably led to exten lve calls on our services. These calls have been met everywhere with vigour and enthusiasm and I think we can c1ai m that in 1964 111 uch ha been done. Thi doe not mean that we do not have our problems or failings. I ""au ld like, therefore to empha i e that in reporting where thing have gone well r am not complacent about our hortcoming. TRE GTHS A
