GRAND PRIORY CHURCH REBUILDING FUND By the end of the year the sum needed to clear the debt on the Church had been reduced to some £7000. STRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS AT ST. JOHN'S GATE It had long been realised in order ~hat visitors to St. John's Gate, particularly on occasions such as Inve tItures, could be comfortably and adequately accommodated, some major structural alterations would have to be made. These were undertaken during 1965 and the results are most pleasing. The Order was greatly indebted to. our late Confrere, Leander McCormick-Goodhart, who generou ly paId the whole co~t of the restoration of the wall of the main stairca e and the new robmg room. FOREIG AFFAIRS A further succes ful Conference between representatives of the Venerable Order the J ohanniterorden with its Swiss and other European Associations and the Orders of St. John in the Netherlands and Sweden, took place at G~neva on 30th May. A small ecretariat has "?een set up and B.aroD Akerhielm, a Member of the Swedish Order in busme s at Geneva, kindly consented to act as Honorary Secretary. Useful contact has been made with a number of the international agencies at Geneva. . There was an event of historical ignificance when the Lord Pnor headed a delegation from the Venerable Order at ~he Celebrations held in Malta to mark the Great Siege of 1565. The VIce-Chancellor of the Sovereign Order led delegation from the .It~lian Grand Priories a.nd from the National Associations of Great Bntam and other countnes. The Deputy Herrenmeister led the delegation from the 10hanniterorden and the Netherlands and Swedish Orders were each represented by membe~s of their Chapters. The succes of this very hi toric occa ion wa due In no small measure to the personal effort of the Gov~r!10r-General, H ..E. Sir Maurice Dorman, G.C.V.O., G.C.M.G. In addItIOn to the officlal delegation a number of Member of the yenerable Order attended under their own arrangements. The proceedmgs cle~rly den:on trated the prevalent ecumenical spirit .and the c<?-operatIOn receIved .from the Archbishop of Malta (MonsIgnor GonZI) was greatly apprecI~ted. . Earlier in the year the Lord Prior had renewed per onal relatlOn~ with the Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, stoppmg at Rome on his way to the Middle Ea t. LIFE

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

REPORT OF THE HOSPITALLER AND HOSPITAL COMMITTEE FOR 1965 including the REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL SUB-COMMITTEES

The Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their seventy-fourth report covering the eighty-third year of the Hospital for the information of H.R.H. The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. GENERAL During the year under review the mo t welcome and plea ant event was the visit paid to the Ho pital on the 6th October by Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra and Mr. Ogilvy who were pa sing through Jordan on their return from a long tour in the Far Ea t. De pite the hortne of her stay in Jerusalem and her many other commitment, Her Royal Highness made an extensive tour of all the department of the Ho pital, met the staff and delighted the patient with her cheerful and happy greeting. To everyone a Royal Vi it such a thi i an immen e tonic, and we are indeed grateful to her for her intere t and for the graciou ne with \ hich it was expressed. RESEARCH Our research to elucidate the variou manife tation<; of trachoma in the Middle East, and particularly to attempt an efTective prophylaxis of the di ease by the immunization of children with a vaccine, is continuing on a greater cale. At pre ent an effective team compo ed of members from the Institute of Ophthalmology in London under Professor Barrie Jone ,the Trachoma Group of the Medical Re earch Council under Dr. Leslie Collier of the Li ter In titute and the Government ofIran under Professor Mofidi of the Department of Public Health Re earch of that hospitable country, is bu ily engaged in the Malayer area of Iran where this blinding di ease j endemically rife. The team, Briti hand Iranian, comprises 11 persons, an ex pen ive project partly financed by our Research Fund. The preliminary arrangement for this work were made in 1964. Early in 1965 an extensive urvey wa carried ut when over 500 young children as yet uninfected with trachoma received two injection of the new vaccine; the results of this are being followed up in the pring of 1966. In this region 90 to 95 % of the children become affected before the age of 2 years. In the autumn of 1965 Profe or Barrie Jone returned to Iran with three other research worker and together with three Iranian workers made an intensive study of the entire population of thi area ,to obtain epidemiological and laboratory data on trachoma and to deVIse more sensitive methods of diagnosis than are now known. Parallel work on these problems is being carried out at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. At the same time three Iranian doctor have been brought t the laboratories of the Institute in London for training in the e new methods; tl~ey e will return to Iran in 1966 to work with our team for the next vacctn

follow-Up. Further research will be guided by our findings then. The vaccines at p~esent u~der trial ~em to be a considerable improvement on those pre~IOusly tned, but the1: results cannot yet be anticipated, whether they modIfy t~e course of the d1sease or eradicate it. However that may be the co-operatIOn between Iranian and British workers is proving to be "ery frUitful and ha produced a harmonious, effective and solid team whic~ i . probably a ':lnique and certainly a highly desirable development in sClentIfic.co-operatlOn betwe~n the West and a Middle Eastern country. Not,only wlll thl allow of c?~tmuous work by the Iranian workers during the Interval between the VIS1t of our team, but it will enable them to continue with it when our experimental studies have ceased. Moreover in thi work on the ba ic nature of trachoma and its treatment we are i~ close touch with the American ARAMCO/Harvard and the Seattle re earch team working re pectively in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, as well as the Trachoma Scientific Committee of the World Health Organisation, both by per onal contact and by sharing information as soon as it is di covered and long before it can be publi hed, so that there has been a spontaI~eou apportionment of problems between the various groups with the aVOIdance of repetitiou work, Thi re earch is undoubtedly at a most intere ting stage and i certainly of major scientific importance; and it could lead to re ult or unu ually great ocial and humanitarian value in the alleviation of the effect of the rno t blinding disease known to man. It would be indeed good if the British team' make home" first. HO PITAL COMMITTEE It i with very deep regret that we have to record the death on the 4th September of Lord Bo om, a Bailiff Grand Cross of the Order and a Member of thi Committee ince 1936. Lord Bossom's devotion to the Order and hi help to the Ho pital Committee over many years were out tanding. He will be particularly remembered for his enthusiasm in ~ringing the new Ho pital into exi tence; as an architect of great distinclI~n he too.k a per onal part in it planning and watched 0 er its building. HI death 1 indeed a ad 10 . With much regret we have had to accept the re ignation of Dr. R. H. Scott, Dr. Scott ha re igned hi po t a Chief Medical Adviser of the She!l Petroleum Company' he ha been ucceeded in that position by Major-General W. H. Hargreave who has kindly agreed to serve on this Committee. We are happy to have his ervice. We are also glad to welcome Lady Wakehurst, D.B.E., who, now that he i living in London, ha agreed to become the Chairman of the Ladies' Guild and to have a eat on the Committee. llOSPITAL STAFF C?ur taff ha again had a very busy and rewarding year. The number of major urgical operation ha equalled the record figure it reached la t year and the number of patient een in the clinic ha greatly increased. For the achievement of the e re ult our thank are due particularly to the Warden, Dr. Boa e, and to Dr. Budeiri. We are proud to record that the ervice which Dr. Boa e ha rendered to the people of the Holy Land, and the great re pect in whi h he i held, were recogni ed in the cour e of the year by Hi Beatitude the Patriach who conferred upon him the honour of a Knight Commander of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. We

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL IN JERUSALEM

would like to congratulate Dr. Budeiri on the completion of 30 years of service to the Ho pital- urely a plendid record, the more so when We remember the vicissitude through which the Ho pital ha passed during this period. But indeed, he has been with us longer than that, for he gave us part-time voluntary service before he joined the permanent staff in 1935. With the exception of the e two talwart the urgical appointments have been filled in accordance with our e tabli hed practice by hort-term secondments or appointment of phthalmologi t from the United King. dom, the Commonwealth and from the Arab State. A list of those who have served during some part of the year i printed el ewhere in this report. The sy tern under which the urgeon from the Force are econded to the Hospital ha worked moothlyand we believe, \\ ith benefit to them as well as to u . We are happy to report thi year another econument to the Ho pital of a urgeon from the Royal Jordanian Army: Captain Wajeeh H. Abdul-Kareem arri ed on September 1st for a six-months' attachment. We are now also welcoming a erie of young urgeon from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London \Vho follow each other by working for a period in Jerusalem after their 3-year re idenc} at Moorfield , thus providing us with a ucce ion of brilliant young men expert in the mo t recent technique in ophthalmology. As in previou years we have had the great plea ure of having with us an American surgeon who, in addition to acting a one of our medical staff, makes himself re pon ible for the Eye-bank e tabli hed in the Hospital by the International Eye-bank. At pre ent thi i being financed from Washington, and it seem po ible that in the future it may be sponsored by the American Society of St. John. The pre ence of the Eye· bank is of great value to the work of the Ho pital and it i to be hoped that in the future our connection \\ ith the U.S.A. \ ,ill be continued through the generosity of our affiliated Society. We recorded last year the pre ence of the fir ' t Arab Vvoman urgeon on the staff, Dr. Sura el Ai h. All we aid in praise of her Ia t year, and more, is true; and it was with regret that we allo\\cd her to leave in September to complete her post-graduate training at Moorfield Eye Ho pital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. We were sorry also to ay goodbye to our Matron. Mi Blewitt joined us in 1958 as Assistant Matron and succeeded Mi Stent a Matron in 1961. She leaves with our be t wishes for happine in her future career. In her place we are very fortunate to have been able to engage Mi sM. 1. Holloway who is no stranger to u , nor to the Arab world. She erved at the Hospital in Watson and Strathearn Houses for two year from 19501952 and she has been Supervi or at the American niver ity Ho pital in Beirut for seven years. She wa delighted to return in October to the Jerusalem that she knows and loves. We are happy al 0 to welcome back Miss Eileen Smith as A sistant Matron and Si ter Tutor, a po t which she has already filled for several years. . We have made one successful innovation. Hitherto each of the Nursmg Sisters in turn has been respon ible for the catering and general housekeeping of the Ho pital for a few months at a time. Thi y tern has never been popular with the Sister who come to lenl alem primarily to nurse patients, nor, understandably, has it been particularly uccessflll. We were therefore happy to grasp the opportunity wh ich aro e early this ye~r of appointing Miss Martin as permanent Catering Officer. Mis MartIn, a French lady whose home is in the Dordogne, ha been cveral years on

the staff of Moorfields Eye Hospital in a rather similar capacity. She has already done much to improve our standards of catering and housekeeping in Jerusalem and to bring down the costs. For many years Miss M. B. MacKellar, the Matron of Moorfields, has been a great friend and support to the Hospital; not only does she aid us in selecting each Nursing Sister and encouraging them to broaden their training and their outlook by a tour of duty in Jerusalem, but she also smoothe our path in nursing problems in a multitude of ways. We are very pleased that she has now agreed to become our Nursing Adviser. She spent a month in Jeru alem early in the year, working personally in every department of the Ho pital and studying its economics. Her report, a most exhaustive job-analysis of our nur ing and domestic arrangements, has been of the greatest value and the recommendations it embodies were brought into effect in November. They have resulted in a more economical and efficient u e of nur ing and domestic staff and a general increase in efficiency.

HOSPITAL FABRIC

Our Hospital ha now been in use for more than five years and we must begin to expect a mounting bill for maintenance and repairs. In anticipation of thi we have approved a re-organi ation of our maintenance staff with the engagement of a full-time painter and a full-time carpenter. There i work-and more-for both of them and already we have found that a con iderable economy ha resulted in comparison with the frequent employment of out ide contractor. We hould like to engage a plumber also when a uitable man can be found. There ha been no new building tbi year but it will be noted from the illustration on the cover that there is now a name-sign on the west wall of the Ho pital facing the ablu Road. Many thou and of pilgrims come down thi road every year on their way into Jerusalem from the airport; our Ho pital i the fir t building of note which they pass and it i right that they hOllld know that it i the Ho pital of St. John. FI A CE

As fore hadowed last year the Appeal for the Ho pital and Research Fund wa launched in May. We need £1 million. It i never ea y to raise money for a charity however worthy, when the cause i so little known to the general public a are re earch on trachoma and our Hospital in Jerusalem' and although we could not have known it when we decided to make thi Appeal, we could not well have chosen a more unfavourable year. The financial difficultie through which the country has been pa sing have hit u hard; neither individual ub criber nor the large indu trial and commercial concern which are often the mo t generou upporters of ~harity in the United Kingdom have been able to subscribe a they would In normal time . However nearly £-1 million had been rai ed by the end of the year. This i not the place to record our thank to individual donor but we cannot let the opporlunity PJ without a pecial word of appreciation of the action of our friend, the Netherland Order of St. John. La t summer they made their own appeal on our behalf and raised over £1,100 for us. SUch action speak more strongly than words of the spirit of charity which

binds the Order of St. John and reache acro the national frontiers of the world today. We mu t record al 0 our admiration of the manner in which Sir Edwin Chapma~-Andre,:" ha led thi many- ided and complex appeal in unu ually dlfficult CIrcumstance. Hi conviction hi faith in the future and the untiring energy and dri e he ha brought to thi ta k have been the admiration of u all and are beyond prai e. We are mo t grateful to him and to hi Committee \ hich ha directed the Appeal. The appeal Fund continue to mount if lowly. It will be a long haul but the money must be ~ound. The plain fact i that at present we only have enough to keep gomg f r a very few year. We do not believe that any member of the Order \\ i he u to \\ ithdraw from the Research Camp~ign or would like t~e Ho pital to clo e it door. For over eighty year It ha tended the blInd people of Jeru alem and the neighbouring land and the work it i doing today i greater than ever before. Moreover the hope held out for the future, if modern medicine can indeed provide a cure for tracho~a,. i 0 brig~t that v"e mu t pare no effort and grudge no expen e to gam It. If a vaccme can be found the Ho pital could become the central focus in a wide immunization programme. That campaign would rank amongst the fine t thing the Order of St. John ha e\er done in all its long hi tory. The benefit to mankind would be incalculable. Turning to detail of the Ho pitaI' Income and E penditure, although th~ ~ccount reveal a rise in expenditure of orne £150 0, yet mo t of thIS I . n?n-recurrent. Our actual e penditure on alarie and hou e-keeping and nnilar expen e has gone up very little. nd we have een thi year a most gratifying increa e in re enue from private patient' fee -from £5,8~0 to £9000. Thi j a reflection of the growing fame of the Ho pital, partI.cularly among t that portion of the population which wi he to have a pn~ate room and to pay a fee. Such people have often learned ""ith surpnse that they can obtain in Jeru alem treatment a good a anything in the Capital of Europe. .. The Trea urer and Accountant of the Order, Mr. D. B. R. Swin tead, paid a vi it of in pection to the Ho pital in ovember. He examined in detail the book-keeping and other financial arrangement with the cooperation of the Superintendent Mr. I a Marogi, and wa abJe to make a numbe.r of .valua~le recommendation and to clear up a number of outstandmg dlfficultle . We are mo t grateful to him and were glad to receive his appreciative comment on the conduct of affair by the Superintendent and his staff. LADlES' COMMITTEES

Mention ha already been made, earlier in thi Report, of the appoin.tment of Lady Wakehur t to be the Chairman of the Ladies' Guild 10 succession to Lady Scarbrough. Lady Scarbrough ha been a Member of the Guild ince 1945 and its very successful Chairman since 1952. Her ervice ha therefore spanned some of the most difficult year in the hi tory of the Ho pital. She aW t~e l?ss of the Old Hospital on the Bethlehem Road, the year of improVIsatIOn and make-shift in Wat on and Strathearn Hou e and the plann~ng ~nd building and finally the occupation and u e of the neW HospItal Itself. We are more grateful than can be ea ily ex pres ed to Lady Scarbrough for her devoted er ice throughout thi time. It was

!he who enlarged the membership and scope of the Guild to meet the gr~ater responsibilities which she foresaw when the new Hospital was built, and she can ~e prou~ of the success the Guild has had in doing so. Lady Wakehur t s appomtment was app~oved by Her Royal Highness, the ~uchess of Gloucester, ~t the begmnmg of the year, and she immed13tely took up her task With zest. Her own account is published with this Report. It will have been noticed that the name of the Guild itself has been changed; the new name "The Ladies' Guild of the Hospital of St. John or !~r.usalem" is th?ught to reflect .more ~l?sely the activities and responslbll1tle ?f t?e GUIld today, for, m addItIon to supplying the linen for tbe Ho pltal. l.t meets a ho t of other needs and requirements and provides many. amellltle and comforts which could not properly be met from a Hospital b.udg~t. It ability. to do this with such generosity is largely due to the Guild In Canada, 111 Australia, and in New Zealand which in recent year have been increa ingly liberal both in cash and i~ material gift . Similarly the Ladies' Hospital Committee in Jerusalem under the director. hip o~ ~r ..McInnes, t~e wife of the Archbishop, and Mrs. Boa~e, I contlnumg It ?ut tandlpg work in helping our Hospital, its nur 109 taff and our patient.

WARDEN'S ANNUAL REPORT 1965 RETROSPECT

Without any doubt the most memorable event of the year was the visit of H.R.H. Princess Alexandra on October 6th. Her Royal Highness made a very comprehen ive tour of the hospital and expressed her interest and great appreciation of all she saw. Both she and her husband endeared them elves to taff and patients alike by their kindness and informal simplicity. We were indeed most fortunate to have been visited by so gracious a lady to whom we tender our thanks and our loyal respects. In April we had the great honour of a visit of inspection by the Crown Prince of Jordan, Prince Hassan, supported by the Prime Minister, the Governor of Jeru alem, and the Lord Mayor of Jerusalem. His Royal Highne recorded hi great intere t in the hospital and the hope that it would continue to pro per. Throughout January we had the pleasure and advantage of having the Ho pitaller and Lady Duke-Elder residing in our midst. It was no surprise to learn that during thi period yet another volume of the incomparable "System of Ophthalmology" came to birth. Nor was it unexpected that the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, His Beatitude Benedictus I, should acknowledge Sir Stewart devotion to the cau e of Jerusalem by investing him with the in ignia of Commander of the Knights of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. In FebnlL ry a tree-planting ceremony took place in the ho pital grounds, and when in the future we see these trees in their prime we will look back and remember with gratitude thi kindly gesture on the part of Mrs. Leila Wi1 on and the ladie of the American Consulate in Jerusalem. The olive tree were a girt from the Municipality to Mr . Wilson to commemorate her stay h reo We feel it i a great compliment that she should have chosen to have them planted in our ho pital During April we had the privilege of an official vi it by Miss MacKellar, the Matron of Moorfield ye Hospital in London. This was no holiday for her but a rno t arduou [our week work that ha led to con iderable reorganization and increa ed efficiency throughout the hospital. We are really rno t grateful to Mi MacKellar [or her help and advice, the fruit of her long and di tingui hed experience a a Matron. ¥/e hope she will not defer a econd i it for too long and that next time her husband will be able to accompany her. In much the arne context we were very pleased to welcome Mr. David Swinstead, Trea urer and Accountant of the Order, on hi econd vi it to the Ho pital. Here again the ten day he spent with u in ovember were fully taken up with a meticulou in pection of our books and records and the general management of the Ho pital. We und rstand that our Ho pital SUperintendent Mr. I a Marogi, came through thi " inqui ition with flying colour. The e vi it of inspection ar of ine timable value to u ; would that they could happen mor frequently. The Lord Prior, Lord Wakehur t, was here for a few day in April, and again in November for a brief one-day visit from Beirut. Indirectly due to hi rapprochement with the German Johanniterorden the Order's parcel of land adjoining Wat on Hou e in the area known as the Muri tan has been loaned on a gentlemen' agreement to the Lutheran church for Use as playground for their chool. It ha a a re ult changed from a

W ARDEN'S REpORT

desolate piece of wa te land to an attractively paved area. The present intention is that the Order's ancient connection with the Muristan (site of the first hospital in Crusader time) will be commemorated by a small memorial garden on this site. The month-long fast of Ramadan commenced thi year on Christmas Eve. In deference to the large number of Mo lems on our taff, to whom any form of jollification during Ramadan would be quite unacceptable, it was decided to hold the annual dinner and dance before Christmas. These festivities on December 18th 10 t nothing in enthu iasm through being somewhat out of season. A good time was had by all. It was with much sadness that we heard of the death in September of Lord Bossom assuredly one of our taunche t supporter. He will be greatly mis ed. To hi on and heir, Sir Clive Bos om, we extend our deepest ympathy. STATISTICS

The table appended to this report give the Return for la t year, and of the preceding four year for compari on. It will be noted that the number admitted to Ho pital increased a did the total atten lances. The reason for this is thought to be the remo al of restriction on travel between Jordan and Syria; there were 1,007 new case registered a having come from Syria and 261 from Saudi Arabia. Thi influx of patient from neighbouring countries account al 0 for the marked ri e of over 400 in cataract operation. The total number of operation i agam ju t over the 6,000 mark. In the report for 1964 it 'Wa aid that thi figure probabl} represented aturation level with our exi ting theatre capacity. La t year's results confirm the expectation. The plain fact i that t\\O theatre are not sufficient. If one could alway have two e perienced quick-working surgeons coping with the day' operdtion Ii t t'Wo theatres might be adequate, but as a very important function f the Ho pital i. to accept and train young surgeons the time factor i all-important, what the expert does in ten minutes may take the t) ro an hour or morc. It i here that a third theatre would make a great difference. From a tructuraJ stand· point this present no difficulty' an adjacent open area need but two walls and a roof. And the cost? Our architect' rough e tJmate is under two thousand pound . There was a significant fall in the number of corneal graft. To a mall extent this is attributable to incapacitation through illne of Dr. Ray, the Eye-bank surgeon, who has the primary responsibility for trying to obtain corneas from local source. In the main, however, it i the, as yet, insuperable antipathy of the public to removing the cornea from decea ed persons which i the chief obstacle to progre s. Generation will pass before this aversion to any form of autopsy di appear from Moslem countries. It may be of interest to compare a few item from the Return of ten years ago with those of the past year. Admissions . . Total operations .

STAFF

No less than twelve different surgeons served on the staff at one time or another during the year. Dr. Harry Caldwell, 'Bunker Fellow' of the International Eye Bank, returned to Kentucky in July, and was replaced by Dr. Ronnie .Ray from Washington. The Royal Air Force has again assisted us: Wmg-Commander A. Morgan completed his six months secondment in February and wa relieved by Squadron-Leader M. Shearer until Augu t when the Royal Navy took over with Surgeon Commander A. Russell. Our lady surgeon, Sura EI Aish, left for London in September, and was replaced by Captain Wajeeh Abdul-Kareem on six month.s' econdment from the Jordan Army. Dr. Terrence Hypher joined us In January for a whole year. In October we lost our "Aussie", Dr. Joe 0 Sullivan, who left for further study in London. Finally, Dr. David Owen, fre h from St. Thomas's Hospital, arrived in December on a year' appointment. There was no change in the personnel of Warden, Sub- Warden (Khalil Budeiri), and the Superintendent (Issa Marogi). For the econd time we had a final year medical student from St. Thomas's working here as a trainee during his ummer vacation. Of the Si ter ,Mi Anne Blewitt who had been Matron for almost four year decided to go in earch of pastures new. She left in October, and is now in South Africa, where we hope she is happily settled. Her successor, Mi Margar t Holloway, i no tranger for she erved in Watson House in 1950-1952. Mi Claire Buxton, Assi tant Matron and Sister Tutor, left in September her po t being filled by Mi s Eileen Smith who thus re umed her original appointment after an interval of eight months at Moorfleld gaining further admini -trative and teaching experience. Sisters Martha Robert, Jean Seath and Elizabeth Wood left during the year and were replaced by ancy Donnelly, Rosetta Clark and Erna Gugerel. A new po t, that of Catering Officer, was filled in April by Miss Georgette Martin. Of the i local nur e \ ho took final examination, five passed. One has remained on the taff a an ophthalmic nur e. Five out of even first year student pa ed the fir t e amination. Twelve nm es passed the Government First Aid exammation. One po t-graduate nur e and two student nur e from the Augu ta Victoria Ho pital pent three months with us gaining ophthalmic experience. TSITORS

It eemed to be a good year for visitor to Jeru alem, and we have pleasant memorie of the many who honoured u by vi iting the hospital. Among the e were Mr .

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION

UAL REPORT, 1965

THE OBJECT of the St. John Ambulance As ociation is the instruction of any nationality in First Aid Nursing, Hygiene, Child Care and kindred SUbjects. Its policy is directed towards the improvement of standards and methods of instruction so that its teaching secures the confidence both of the Medical Profession and the general public. In addition, the As ociation examine and reports on modern practices and technique including visual aid and other new methods of instruction. This requires considerable research. In our work during 1965 we have been fortunate in that we received advice from a considerable number of eminent member of the Medical Profession, experts in their own particular fields, who have greatly assisted us in keeping abreast of the late t developments. At the end of the year under report there were 175 Centres of the Association in England, an increa e of three over the previou year. Reports from these Centres show a con iderable variety of activities and there is a general indication that Re uscitation has caught the public imagination resulting in a demand for pecial demon tration which the Centres have been pleased to provide. In a report of this kind it is not po sible to record in great detail the work of all our Centres. Selection has, therefore, been made to illustrate the overall work of the year. Warwickshire were again respon ible [or St. John Exhibition at the Royal Show which was honoured by a visit of H.R.H. The Duchess of Gloucester. The exhibition this year took "Eye" a it theme covering the activi~ies ?f the Order in this field and including a model of the Ophthalmic HospItal III Jerusalem. Dr. P. J . Miller of Rugby, in conjunction with the Birmingham Eye Hospital, provided further material which wa of great interest and of educative value. I might mention that the A ociation undertook the catering for the Brigade and other Fir t Aid per onnel on duty at the Show, including the British Red Cros Society. From Coventry comes a report of an increase of 260 certificates issued during the year, and help in Brigade recruitment by obtaining 120 new members. This aspect of the Association' work [or the Brigade is a matter of mutual assistance as the Brigade play an important part in providing demonstrators for First Aid classe and allied subjects. In York the Centre celebrated its 75th Anniver ary, and this was publicised by a horseman in the costume of a 13th century Knight of the Order riding through the City each evening. There were celebrations on St. John' Day and a service wa held at St. Helen's Church followed by demonstrations of First Aid in the market square, three resuscitation models being used for instruction. I would like to refer to the Post Office Ambulance Centre, the activities of which have resulted in a far higher proportion of First Aiders than the statutory minimum. This Centre has made great efforts to increase the n.umbe~ of Lay Instructors and 145 new Instructors qualified. A cas~~Jty SImulatIOn outfit has now been supplied to offices where First Aid traJnIDg is given; this adds to the interest and realism of the instruction. As an

illustration o[ the great part which the national bodies play in the country the Post Office Centre now has 150 Branches throughout the United Kingdom. In th~ Ele~tricity. Industry th~ Ambula~ce Centre gained over 1,000 more FIrst Aid certIficate than III the prevIOUS year. In this Nationalised lndu try. the ratio of qu~lified First Aiders of one for every fifteen employee 1 worthy of specIal note and congratulation. Progre s can be mentioned in other nationalised industries and Govern~ent bodies and they have .Jittl.e difficulty in meeting the statutory obligatIons by voluntary effort whIch IS of great encouragement to us in our work. I~ the school of thi countr~ First :\id training is developing rapidly. I might refer to one or two pomt of mtere t. In Lancashire there was a First Aid cour e [or teacher in the previous year and as a result, in the year under report econdary school are now teaching First Aid as a regular or extra-curricular ubject. Similar activitie are reported from the orth Riding of York hire. Tn the Inner London Authority 133 chools have ha~ Basic. First ~id cour e and some schools have progressed to the Adult FIr t AId certifkate. Other have followed their First Aid with Ho~e ur ing and Child Care. W~ would like to ee more young people, partlcul~rly tho e o[ the motor cycling contingent, taking the opportunity of learnmg the rudiment of Fir t Aid in view of the large number of accident there are with the e vehicles. .

It new style and the opportunity it offered for progressive training by the three courses-First Aid Certificate,. Hi~her ~irst Aid Certificate and Certificate of Advanced Knowledge III Fu t AId-were greatly appreciated in a wide sphere. Many welcome? the book as a development towards meeting the modern need for a hIgher tan?ard of First Aid. We are particularly grateful to a large number of act lye ~nd senior members of the Medical Profe ion who gave freely of theIr tIme to ensure that this book gives the best medical advice. We are .indebted to members of the Staff of the Association for the work entaIled and to Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Drummond for the great ervice he gave in our intere t on the Joint Co-ordinatin.g.

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

The South East Centre in Jamaica showed a very considerable increase in the number of First Aid certificate and re-examination awards gained during the year. Candidates for their classes included members of the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Jamaica Defence Force, as well a active Youth Club Organisers, school children and an increa ing number of employees from factories and offices, also student nurses and hospital porters. An appeal to industry brought in request for training from citizen' associations. Certificates were presented at public function and publicity was given to these by pres and radio. The Jamaica South Ea t Centre were joint winners of the Association's Oversea Competition. Jamaica South West made a pecial drive for new members and this is showing results. Fir t Aid posts were operated at variou public functions and the annual flag day collection was nearly trebled. The Association Centre for Jamaica Pri on was able to organi e First Aid classes including one for member of a youth organi ation and three for recently recruited members of the taff. From the e cla se there were some thirty potential recruits for the Brigade. The main feature of the Police Centre wa the con iderable increase in the number of candidates taking Fir t id re-examination. Member also gave considerable help with cour e for other bodie including the Life Guard and Nurse . In Trinidad the figures for training were well maintained, particularly in schools and youth club.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTeR-GENERAL

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE

either at the First Aid post or patrolling the long queues waiting to enter the Palace of Westminster.

COMMISSIONER-IN-CHIEFS REPORT

The State Funeral.-Over 4,000 members from all parts of the United Kingdom and a few from Overseas who happened to be in London staffed seven mobile First Aid teams and 39 First Aid posts, lined the full length of the route and provided cover for the congregation inside St. Paul's Cathedral. In addition to the normal First Aid equipment, 350 stretchers and 700 blanket were in po ition along the route. It may not be realised that for route lining the Metropolitan Police ask for first aid personnel at interval of not more than 15 paces which is the reason so many members are needed for big occasions with large crowds. Bladon Church.-One hundred and five members were required for the Fir t Aid po ts along the route from Long Handborough railway station to the churchyard at Bladon. Thi wa admittedly a omewhat unique occasion. By way of compari on for Trooping the Colour the annual requirement is 750 Ambulance and ur ing member, 10 Surgeons, 12 Nursing Officers, 50 Cadets and 32 ambulance. The number of casualties treated can vary from 30 to 40 to o\er 500 (Coronation year). The big problem is again one of density of crowd which demand a large number of posts as otherwise it is not pos ible rapidly to get to ca ualties and here the radio network used by the Brigade help greatly.

THIS REPORT on the achievement and problem of the Brigade during the year naturally centre on de cribing the service carried out at home and over ea . I feel, however that it i nece ary to tart by reminding the reader that the ervice given by Brigade member are entirely voluntary and are unpaid, indeed, often member have to dip into their own pockets. I reali e that this i , of cour e, well known to tho e clo ely connected with the Order and Foundation. There is, however, uch vvide pread misconception by the general public that tho e 0 regularly een in our uniform doing their fine work on occa ion, public and private, Jarge and small, are being paid for what they do; I feel therefore it i de irable to make the foregoing clear yet again in the very f refront of thi report. or must it be forgotten that Di trict ,Countie and UniL them elve have to carry out extensive acti itie to raise the money nece ary to meet their local expenses on such matter a ambulance, uniforms, radio equipment, and the very tool of their trade such a bandage and other fir t aid items, though we try to upplement their fund to the be t of our ability from national fund rai ing event, to which reference i made later. STRE GTHS A ' D P Bue DUTICS The figure showing the number of men, \ omen and young people who do thi work and the extent of that \,.ork. in the nltcd Kingdom, are shown in the table of strength, and dutie given in Arpendice A, Band C, but I would alway tre that figure are cold things and it is the wealth of goodwill and of devotion to the help of other v..hich i what matters and which no figures can adequately pre ent. onethele s, two concrete facts emerge from the year' tak tic . fir tly, that the Brigade' "Productivity" increa ed by 70,000 hour ' or voluntary service and, secondly, that the decline in member hip or 1,300 was onehalf of the previou year. This, however follow the pattern in recent year whereby call for service increased and membership fell and clearly the e divergent trends cannot be accepted. It wa with thi in mind that a 12-month recruiting drive was started in September and although only three month came within the period under review,it would seem that the fall ha ~ee.n stemmed; in fact the Nursing Cadet figure were very slightly up. Tbl IS indeed encouraging, not only a a tribute to tbe recruiting efTorts but a.1 0 because it testifies that we have omething to offer to meet the growIDg desire amongst many young people to give orne neighbourly service. THE BRIGADE I ACTIO To describe fully the range of activities would take up too much pace and as last year this report described the broad pattern of dutie ,thi t.lIne examples are given to demon trate the dimension of the efTort reqUJred for a number of pecific duties ranging from the malIc t to the largest.

A Major Duty The State Funeral of Sir Winston Churchill: Lying in State-A minimum of 20 members were continuoll lyon duty

Minor Duties At the ther end of the cale are the mUltiplicity of mall, unobtru ive dutie imol ing one or two member. A Youth Club Boxing Tournament, for in tance, will need a couple of member pre ent from the local Division to deal with pectator or maybe competitors. Theatres, cinemas, skating rink and the like throughout the country make imilar demands daily.

l1ir Escort The full duty can entail an ambulance to the airport, a Brigade member to accompany the patient thr ughout the flight and an ambu.lance to meet the aircraft on landing. The ervice meet the needs of patlents whether foreign or Briti h who have to be e corted, after illne or accident, to this country, or ice er a, or journey within the United Kingdom. Language difficultie ha e frequently to be overcome. A typical ca e:Patient: A \ oman ( chizophrenic) to be escorted from the Continent to London Airport enroute to a London ho pita!. Embarkation:

The Flight:

The Air Attendant, who i pecifically qualified as uch on arrival at the over ea airport was met by the hu band and child of the patient who were al 0 to tra el on the plane. The patient re i ted all attempt to get her on board but finally the Brigade Air Attendant, perhap becau e she was a stranger, wa able to ucceed on her own. Surpri ingly after the difficult start the journey proved uneventful. A ~ill be ~ppreciate? th~ ta k of an Air Attendant WIth a dIfficult patIent III the confined space of an aircraft can be an awkward matter.

Disembarkation:

PORT OF THE CHAPTER-G ENERAL

On di embarkati n it wa found that the ho pital to which the patient wa going had no knowledge of her. She on the other hand thought he was going home and a her edation hud now worn off, became difficult to control. E entually the Airport Medical Authorities arranged for h r to be admitted to a mental ho pital.

The Air Attendant: Finally, it may be f intere t to relate that the Air Attendant had left London at 11.30 p.m. on aturday night, arrived at her over ea de tination at 5 a.m. on unda , di embarked at London Airport at 8.30 a.m. and wa ba k at her horne that arternoon. The ne t da , Monday he re umed her normal full-time employment. Thi wa admittedly, a difficult ca e but b no mean unu ual among-t the many 0 er the year, nearly all or \ hicb ha\'e t be arranged at han notice.

Cro\\'d Gatherings It has to be remembered that the e are ften f an unknown q uantit} frequently occurring with little prior warning u h a when teenagers congregate to meet a "Pop" group r" hen a i toriou football team i welcomed home.

TRAI I G

IFORM AND EQUIPMENT

Almost all Countie and a number of Areas have now appointed a Staff Officer (Training) whose efforts have contributed much to raising the tandard at Di i ional level. The Training Week-end or day which are normally held at lea t once a year at County Ie el, are steadily leading to more variety in Di i ional Programme. The Catalogues on Visual Aids in the form of Film and Film Strip i ued by the St. John Ambulance A sociation have al 0 contributed to thi end, but their value i somewhat re tricted by lack of finance. During the year emphasi ha been laid on the need to en ure that the training of ex-Cadet when they join the Adult Divi ions i more closely de eloped from that in the Cadet Di ision . a it ha been found that routine training in the former often uffer in comparison v. ith the more varied programme in the Cadet Di i ion \\ ith their em pha i on Pro· ficienc Badge. Thi point i highly rele ant to our Recruiting Drive. Leadership Training ha again benefited from the generou grant of the King George VI Memorial Fund and Sembal Tru t \. hich enabled six Leader hip Cour e to be held in 1965. The e took place at Harrogate, Leice ter, Exeter ewca tle-upon-T ne, '0/e teliff-upon-Sea and Blackpool. The a erage attendance at each wa 0 er 50, many of whom hould in due course reach high rank in the Brigade. The Training Cour e in the leader hip of Cadet \\a again held at ottingham ni er ity in September. It \\a attended by 457 Brigade member Ambulance and ur ing, from all over the country. The Major Study thi :) ear 'Opportunitie for Ser ice ' \"\Ia opened with a most original addre s by a 25-year old London Barri ter, Mr. Anthony Steen, who de cribed the birth and purpo e of his "1964 Ta k Force Ltd." through which old people in need are given voluntary help by young people. This v. a followed by Di cu ion Group \ ho reported their findings in open e ion . A IBLL • CE AGEN II::.S

During the year the local authoritie in urrey, Jer ey and 0 ford hire took over by agreement the ambulance entice \ hich had pre iou ly been operated by the Brigade as an agency ervice . From the early day of the Health Service the Brigade had played a large part in tarting ambulance services and had prior to that long been pioneers in the ambulance field. Progres and expan ion reached the stage where generally full-time operational staff and control are required not fitting ea ily into the overall pattern of a voluntary organi ation. Clo e contact of cour e i maintained in all countie ¥vith the full-time paid ambulance service and the Brigade does all it can to a i t and upplement the e a may be de ired. Gi ing up the agencies doe not les en the importance of the Brigade' ambulance work; on the contrary quite apart from the ordinary need for ambulances at public duties there is a wide field which the Health Ser ice of necessity, is unable to cover and helping to fill thi gap wi1l enhance rather than lessen the value of the work St. John ambulance can do. There is 0 large a, what might be termed, 'Good Samaritan' field in which to help tho e of limited means, that such work i ery much in line with the ideal of the Order and the reputation of the Brigade.

The Brig~de's uniform and its eq~ipment is kept constantly under review. Too SWeepI?g and frequent alte~atlOns a,re clearly not possible or, for that matter, de lrab~e but. the followlllg modIfications have been authorised or are under con lderatlOn:Ambulance members: ~etter material and modernization in cut for Jacket and trousers. An improved design cap with a black backing to the badge. Improved water bottle. Nur ing members: A n~w in~oor. cap has been approved. Further coz:slderatlOn IS being given to a new type of ulllform hat, lightweight coat and coat overall. User trial A number of items have also been issued for "u er trial " in Ambulance Divisions and these include: A black gaberdine to replace the greatcoat and optional mackintosh' new type of polyvinyl haversack which will hold the new personal first aid kit and the new maIler waterbottle.

The list of Order and Brigade Award and Jubilee Certificates is given in Appendix D. These again will help to show that the service provided by Brigade member extend beyond ju t rendering first aid or home nursing. When the need ari es danger or difficulties are taken a 0 bstac1es to be overcome, 0 that assistance can be got in the hortest pos ible time to a casualty . Increasingly in training we are bringing in the elements of endurance and practical difficultie , not for them elves but because often courage and presence of mind are needed to get to the ca ualty at all 0 as to render first aid. Under "Award" mention hould a1 0 be made of the unusual appreciation accorded to the Brigade in Market Harborough by the Urban District Council of that town. In the word of the official Council Resolution : "That the Market Harborough Urban Di trict Council, d now confer the DISTI GUISHED CITIZE SHIP OF M RKET HARBORO GH of which the CITIZE SHIP CUP i the ymbol upon the MARKET HARBORO GH DIVISIO 0 THE ST.

This was most gratifying and omething of which the Brigade a a whole can be proud. Co-operation with local authoritie is both important and close, and public acknowledgment uch a thi greatly encourage members in their work for the community. COMPETITIO S

SURGEON-IN-CHIEF'S DEPARTMENT

The Surgeon-in-Chief reports as follows:It was with great regret that Brigade Surgeons learned of Mr. TaylorYoung' resignation a Surgeon-in-Chief in October 1965, and on their behalf, a well as my own, I would like to take the opportunity of thanking him most incerely for his efforts and leadership during his term of office. The Commis ioner-in-Chief did me the honour of nominating me to fill the vacancy and my appointment as Surgeon-in-Chief was confirmed by the Grand Prior as from 12th October, 1965.

Technical Training During the year continued efforts were made to improve the practical side of our training without detriment to theoretical requirements, and our work in that direction has been done with the close co-operation and agreement of the Principal Medical Officer of the A sociation with whom we maintain the mo t cordial of relations. Close contact ha also been maintained with the British Red Cross Society, particularly regarding Casualty Simulation Courses. It is the hope of my Department that every Division will be competent to deal with this mo t valuable aspect of Fir t Aid Training and that Cadet Divisions will be able to participate in the neces ary training. During the year instruction and lectures have been given to outside bodie who ha e invited the a i tance of the Department, e.g. District Nurse Midwive Society of Radiographers etc. This continues to be a regular feature of our work. Annual Report from Di trict and County Surgeons indicate a sustained and atisfactory degree of technical efficiency throughout the Brigade. Notwith tanding the number of Brigade Surgeon, there are a few areas which have orne difficulty in meeting medical requirements. This throws an additional burden on County Surgeons who, nevertheless, invariably ri e to the occa ion. Every effort i being made to rectify these isolated ituation and scheme are being con idered to overcome the difficultie of "Re-exarntnation " and "Lecture ", where nece ary. Surgeons' Conference The Annual Surgeons' Conference wa again held at Nottingham Univer ity in September. Thi venue has proved highly acceptable because of facilitie comfort and co t, and experience has confirmed that Nottingham i an ideal centre [rom the point of view of di tance and acce ibility. The fir t day of the Conference wa devoted to a u eful frank and free di cu ion of the econd edition of the Joint Fir, t Aid Manual. The quality of the di cu sion wa uch a to confirm the profound knowledge, experience and enthu ia m of the participant . In thi re pect it should be noted that there are now over 2 436 active Brigade Surgeons, mostly uniformed, and that as far a I have been able to a certain, there i no other comparable body of sLlch ize in the world. The second day wa devoted to the part Brigade members could play in the Social Services, and the following panel of di tingui hed speaker gave their view :"The Care of Physically and Mentally Handicapped Children"Dr. Denni G.

A Conference of our County .H.S .R.

The Shotley Bridge General Hospital , Durham, team were the winners of the 1965 Minister's Cup Competition. The team of six plus the reserves included five St. John Nursing Auxiliaries . It will be remembered that a St. John team from Shotley Bridge won the Cu p in 1961 CADETS

For the first time the weather wa completely unkind to st. John Cadets on the day of their Annual Rally held at Bemrose chool, Derby, which because of the heavy rain had to take place in side. In at least one respect, however, this pro ved an advantage, since the unavoidably congested conditions gave the Cadets the opportunity of seeing their Commandantin-Chief, H.R.H. The Princess Margaret Counte s of Snowdon, at closer quarters than would otherwi e have been the ca e. Her Royal Highne s conducted the enrolment ceremony for 58 Cadets and pre ented Grand Prior Badges to 62.

The local st. John Cadets had a ked their Commandant-in-Chief to be allowed to attend on this occa ion and in consequence it was arranged for 200 living in the neighbourhood to line the route. It might be added that 63 adult members were on duty, providing first aid cover during the ceremony and had to attend to no Ie s than 140 casualtie - cau ed by what must have been the only really hot day of ummer. Cade~ have again , d~ring .the year demonstrated their courage and respon Ible outlook. TheIr actIOns included efficacious early resuscitation whereby a child' life wa saved, al 0 many other acts of value to the community . not the lea t of which have been the help and encouragement they have gIven to old people. It may be of interest to quote the following extract from Su ex County Orders which exemplifies the attitude of these young member and the end to which their training is directed:"On the 25th July 1965, Cadet Sergeant Valerie Curwen (just 15 years of age) of the Ha ting Nur ing Cadet Division wa on the roster for du~y at t~~ Ha ling Beacb Hut.

The warmth with which one was welcomed was omething not to be forgotten and I was greatly impre sed by the keenne , enthu iasm and high standard of the many facets of Brigade life that I aw.

LUSIO

The year under review ha been one which, apart from the normal WIde pread and onerou duties performed by the Brigade, has presented special problem and even burden . The particular matter I have in mind have been, firstly, the two major activitie mentioned earlier which have broken fre h ground on the fundrai ing ide. The ec nd ha been the launching and activation of Recruiting Year, to which i' linked the far from incon iderable work involved in the pr d uction of the Brigade film. . Finally, the main feature in the latter part of 1965, has been the llltroduetion of the new ir t id Manual- the joint production of the St. John Ambulance A ciation the St. Andrew' A ociation and the Briti h Red r ociety. The book, of COLlr e, particularly concerns the Brigade as the large tingle body involved in regard to the direct application of Fir t id to the general public. It will be appreciated that the range f the b ok i n w wider than hitherto and over and above that required by the individual wi hing to qualify to tatutory Fir t Aid Standard. In thi re pect it d al WIth certain a pect of Fir t id which are more parti ularl required to m et the need of specifi~ i.ndu tries or hazard· and which would, therefore, not normally come \ Ithm the phere of the t. John Ambulance Brigade. Having thi in mind, the As ociation, working \\ ith the Brigade i also producing a book onfined ~o the knowledge required to reach ~tatut ry certificate tandJrd and whl.ch wo~lld be complementary to the Joint Fir t id Manual, the latter covenng a It doe the wider field. My rno t grateful thank go to the uperintend nt-in-Chief, the DeI?uty Commi ioner-inhief and to all Head of Department who have gIven me Llch admirable upport through a difficult year. I would also like to record my gratitude to the Headq uarter Staff who .have done so muc~ t.o as i t me per onally and the Brigade a hole hlch a I well know It lS their aim to er e. Thi year there ha e been a number of changes and inn<:> ation , the re ult of which will not be immediately '~pparent but I belle e we may hope oon to gather the h.1[ e ' t in a forward looking Brigad rno mg ahead with the time .

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

ALMONER'S REPORT

REPORT OF THE LmRARIAN

past year ha been notable for the transfer of the Joint Committee's Ambulance Department to the Greater London Council. The Order and the Briti h Red Cro s Society had operated an Ambulance Service for over 40 years, and during thi time much pioneer work was done, and a gap in the social ervices of the nation wa filled efficiently and effectively. As however, respon ibility for the pro i ion of ambulance ervices was entrusted by the National Health Service Act, 1946, to County Councils and County Borough Council, he Joint Committee wa under no obligation to continue the activitie of the Ambulance Department. After careful con ideration of all the circumstance affecting the future of this department the Joint Committee reached the conclu ion that the then London County Council should be invited to take over and operate the ambulance depot, staff and vehicle , and operate them a part of it own ambulance ervice. The decision to relinquish a greatly valued activity, and one that was by tradition a sociated with the Order and the ociet, wa not lightly taken nor was it taken without regret. I reported last year the Committee' plan to clo e and di po e of Bramshott Lodge, and to change the function of Queen Alexandra House, Folke tone, from that of a Re t-Break Home to that of a re idential institution for retired nur e . Thi project ha now been ati factorily completed, and a renovated and moderni ed Queen Alexandra House was opened by the Mayor of olke tone in the pre ence of the Lord Prior in October, 1965 a a home for the retired nur e who had been living at Bram hott Lodge. Throughout the year the Joint Committee, the Order and the Society have been considering how best to achieve permanent office accommodation in Grosvenor Cre cent. The Parent Bodie and the Committee are now proceeding with a plan which will atisfy the Joint Committee's requirements for office and library pace at a very reasonable co t. The necessary interim moves to allow the variou hou e in the Cre cent to be renovated in turn have now started, and the Committee's Secretariat ha already moved to new offices. During the whole of this busy period the normal work of the Joint Committee has proceeded, and during the year ended the 30th June, 1965, some £180,000 was spent on assistance to the war disabled and to service and ex-service men. The Ex-Services War Di abled Help Department dealt with 59,000 cases, an increase of 9,000 on the previ u year, and in 14,700 of these financial help was given. The Library continues to give an admirable service to over 100,000 Hospital beds, including orne 4,000 in Service Hospitals over ea .

s brought to notice during the year include the "Medical History of Malta," by Paul Cas ar, published by the Wellcome Historical Medical Library in London. The author has delved deeply into the archives - largely unpublished- of the Royal Malta Library, and the Medical and Health Department, and has supplemented them with frequent extracts from journal diaries and letters of visitors to the island through the centurie , thus showing the medical history of Malta as a vital force in the general hi tory of the island. Needless to say, Dr. Cassar makes more than ju t a passing reference to the Order of St. John, for it was under its rule from 1530 to 1798 that medical organization in Malta probably reached its peak. Moreover as the Order' records have been preserved intact the author has been able to pre ent an extraordinarily comprehensive and vivid picture of the administration of an early hospital and the medical care available there. This is a subject which has hitherto attracted the attention of few hi torian .

PUBLICATIO

While the celebration for the fourth centenary of the Great Siege were actually taking place in Malta it was fitting that there appeared in September a "Bibliography of the Great Siege of Malta 1565-1965' , compiled by J 0 eph Galea. a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Such an out tanding event in history has inevitably been recorded in a variety of publication ranging from eye-witne account to epic poetry, and Mr. Galea has endeavoured to upply a much needed up-to-date and authoritative bibliography of the ubject. Another publication concerning the Siege, which appeared al 0 during the fourth centenary celebration \Va Claire Engel'. "Le Grand Siege Malte". I

The following other work acquired by the Department, which merit indeed pecial attention are:- "Oliver Starkey,' a paper by D. F. Corco of the In titute of Hi torical Re earch, University of London; "The French in Malta" and "Dutch Coin and Malte e Countermark " (pamphlet) by V. F. Denaro; , Malta and the Czar 1697-1802" by Andrew P. Vel1a; 'Malte et Ru sie, by M. J. Rouet-de Journel. Vi itor to St. John' Gate and Church during 1965 totalled 2210, an increa e of over 400 on la t year's total. Tour of the Gate continue to be exceedingly popular, e pecially those arranged for group on Saturday afternoon. It is till nece sary, therefore, to book well in advance especially for tour during the ummer month. Thi warning cannot be over-empha ized. Sixty- ix different group were hown round the building during the year ten more than la t year and it i intere ting to note that many of the e were from organization which were in no \: ay connected with the Order and it Foundation.

Amongst the many acce ion to the Department wa Mr. C. H. C. Pirie-Gordon' gift for the new tamp ection, thi being a set of Malte e stamps commemorating the Great Siege.

THE PRIORY OF SCOTLAND IT IS unnece sary to cover, in detail the activities of the several Committees of the Priory as individual statements are presented in the Annual Report. I would underline, however, the need recogni ed by the Priory-Council and C~apter.to take stock of the e activitie and to consider, first, if they dovetaIl effiCIently and adequately into the changing pattern and trend of modern Ii ving and social conditions; whether as a Priory and individually a, Confreres we are contributing in service and leadership to the maximum of our capacity; to what avenues of service to the Community could, and should the Priory be directing it thought, and finally, what steps should be taken to enlist to the Order in Scotland the enthusiasm, the idealism, the loyalty and dedication of youth. The Order south of the border, is known through the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. The Badge and the uniform is honoured and recogni ed. Tn Scotland we are unable because of an early agreement to undertake thi nature of activity and con equently we have committed our el e to meet in 0 far a our fund permit, the needs of fragile, elderly per on . Priory ha every eaU5e to be proud of its Foundation at Edinburgh, Gla g w Aberdeen and Lo, iemouth, but seriou thought must be given to the future. Priory can aJ 0 be proud of it association with the other pioneering and voluntary agencie in meeting the need of the lonely and fragile and elderly, but what hape hould thi provision and our Nursing Home take in the future? Our judgement of the Community need asse sed some year ago \\ ac:;, and has been, fully justified but thought fiU t be given as to \; hether, III the near future illlilar a e ment would be warranted.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL THE GLASGOW COMMITTEE OF THE PRIORY

The results of the Gla gow Committee have been most encouraging. The st. John Re idential Home is fulfilling a much needed and long-felt want, being occupied to capacity and maintaining a high standard of comfort and efficiency, and what i even more important, the contentment of the resident. The traditional Chri tma Party, attended by the Chairman, Mr. A. Law on and members of the Hou e and Ladie ' Committees gave much plea ure and enjoyment to the re ident . Mis MacFarlane devote a great deal of her time and energie to the Home, and for thi we are indeed grateful to her. During the year a number of handsome donation have been received from among others the Sir John Richardson Trust and the Cargill Tru t. The Committee is mo t grateful to the e Tru t and to the other generou donors also to the Vice-Chairman Office-Bearer and Member of the Committee and to st. John A ociation who by their interest and enthuiasm have made thi a very ucce ful year. THE ED! B RGH A D SO TH- AST COMMITTEE OF THE PRIORY

In the modern Welfare State the opportunitie to be of ~er ice to one' neighbour have not been reduced, the effort are merely re-directed. The problem of caring for old people remain a important a it ha ever been. 1965 ha been a year \i hen improvement to the Ho pice at Carberry and Lennox Row ha e been carried out, including fire escape in tailed at Lennox Rowand the kitchen in both Homes moderni ed. This work involved both Committee in a tremendou amount of per onal effort and to the Chairmen and the members I would voice my most grateful thanks. It must al 0 be remem be red that a the work wa . carried out, it interferred with the day to day working of our m t excellent Warden and Matron who have ~uffered the inconvenience cau ed b th willingly and pleasantly. The untiring efforts of the St. John A sociation in rai ing fund ha resulted in a degree of stability enabling u to look forward with confidence to a future extension of activitie . Over the year co ts have been kept at an extremely low level, de pite the nece ity thi year to rai e ur charge moderately. It is with regret that I have to announce Mr. F. C. B. Black' retirement as Chairman of the Ho pice Committee, but Major Watt has once again kindly agreed to act as chairman. It will be of intere t to Confrere to know that a team from the Edinburgh City Police won the Grand Prior' Trophy competition of the St. John Ambulance A sociation thi being the premier award for ir t Aid in Britain, and the first time it ha been won by amen' team from Scotland.

COMMITTEE OF TH ' PRIORY

Once again our main preoccupation has been the continuance of the running of the St. John Nursing Home and the plan for it po sible improvement, particularly an enlargement. The exploratory mea ures that were authorised last year and the drawing up of plans escalated the co t to £30,000, which was thought by the Priory to be beyond the reach of our resource. After a con iderable number of meeting the Priory gave

PRIORIE

AND COMMAND ERIES

its consent to further exploratory measures by the Committee in Aberdeen including any promises of contributions in advance. When this informatio~ ~a~ forthcoming Priory would then reconsider the position. For the prehmmary survey, sketch plans were prepared by the Architect with a view to po ible incorporation into a brochure. T.he fina~cial position of th~ St. John Nursing Home again caused anXIety. Wlth. regret. fees were IDcreased during the year. However, the occupancy ratIO dUrIng January reached 90.14 % which shows that there is a vital need for the continuance of this Nursing Home in Aberdeen. T.he ?<-ray equipment is being fully used, but, owing to the costs of reeqUlppmg, the returns have been lower than expected. Much gratitude is due to Dr. David Levack and hi asi tant, Mr . Mackie, for their untiring efforts. T. JOH

HOSPICE, SKERRYBRAE

The Annual Report for 1964 outlined the plans approved for the use of the St. John Hospice at Skerry brae as a Conference Centre for Youth when it wa not required or fully occupied by the elderly in need of con vale cence or holiday. Throughout the summer and autumn months the scheme for dual use wa lIcce ful. From January to September 206 people, 58 adults and 226 y ung people including two group of German students were acc0!TImodated at the Ho pice which compare very favourably with prevlOu figure. The number of old people catered for has increased, as aloha the facilitie given to young people. It is hoped that thi link with all kind of group in the North-Ea t will increase and that the contact with over ea tudents will grow. It will take time for the demand for accommodation to build up to 100 \ occu pancy, but there i a definite need to be met. Even with this improveme'1t in the occupancy ration, the lack of demand for accommodation in the winter month i accounted for by the transport difficulties and ha neces itated placing the Hospice, temporarily, on a "care and maintenance" ba i . It i hoped to make arrangements to overcome thi di ability in the future. GLASGOW ST. JOH

The St. John Foundation Ho pital ha contributed another year of ervice to the citizen of Gla gow. Throughout J 965 the daily bed average wa 13.6. Birth in the maternity ection reached the figure of 140. Operation performed reached a total number of 433. It mu t give sati faction to all Confrere and tho e a sociated with the Priory of Scotland that our Foundation Hospital i 0 well regarded and provides 0 necessary a service. Accommodation and the charge levied compare favourably with tho e of other in titution . During the year con iderable renovation and modernisation was undertaken in the kitchen and staff quarter and the provision of more office accommodation. The upkeep of the exterior, the need for interior decoration and the maintenance of up-to-date facilitie for patients, worthy of the premier nursing e tabli hment in the City, constitute a heavy but neces ary annual financial burden.

Under a revi ion of certain clau e of the Priory Regulation approved by H.R.H. the Grand Prior on the 16th September, 1965, the con titution was brought more into line with the Grand Priory tructure. The tanding Committee formerly known a the Ambul ance Committee and having upervision over the A ociation and Brigade Foundation i renamed the Association Committee' while the Brigade Committee ha been accorded equality of status both Standing Committee reporting to the Council. With an Association Committee that i widely repre entati e of all sections of the community, indu trial and cultural, thi change provide for a greater concentration by the As ociation to prO\.ide instruction of persons in First Aid and allied su bjects . With the object of promoting the maximum co-operation between Association and Brigade Commi ion rs are now ad\ i ed from Priory House of all classe formed on their territorie v hich enable them to offer tudent an opportunity of keeping their knowled ge LIp to date and putting their training into practice through j ining the Brigade.

Over the whole Principality the total of cla es examined or re-examined during 1965 decreased by 88 to 1 182 and the total award gained in the e classes dropped by 673 to 16,042. Not reflected in the figure but none the less important is the volume of service rendered in respon e to the con tant demand for talks and demonstration on Fir t Aid and particularly the subject of emergency resuscitation from schools, public how , exhibitions and voluntary organi ations. Good use is made of the film and models and thanks are due to the Brigade for providing peaker on frequent occasions.

The Brigade Headquarter taffin Wale, like their colleague in - ngland, ha e kept under con tant consideration the problem, ver the whole country, of declining member hip. On the n ur ing ide, where the decrea -e has been particularly noticeable, the change in ocial habib und ubtedly has a bearing. Women now work after marriage 0 with III re limited hours ofleisure they are Ie inclined to re pond to the claim of oluntary service however rewarding. With the object of temming thi5 downward trend the Brigade launched a nation-wide Recruiting Drive and Wale went into action on the 1st September. The Priory purchased a copy of the new Brigade documentary film entitled 'A Way of Life" for howing all round the c untie . This film is a very attractive pre entation of the Brigade and, a well as having a strong potential recruiting influence, hould timulate enthu ia m

The number of invalid requi ite and sickroom comfort i ued during the year from the 41 Depot increa ed by 343 to a total of 1,577 and this despite the closing of two inactive Depot at Blaenau Ffestiniog in Merioneth and Abercrave in Brecon hire. The majority of the e depot are maintained by Brigade unit in the counties of Brecon hire (9), Cardigan hire (2) Carmarthen hire (1), Denbigh hire Ea t (5), Denbigh hire We t (2), Flint hire (I), Glamorgan (6), Montgomery hire (2), Pembrokeshire (6), Borough of Merthyr Tydfil (4), Borough of ewport (2) and Borough of Rhondda (1). A small hire charge is still made in about 50 % of the Depots and in many cases a grant is received from the local health authority toward the co t of replenishment of tock. The Trelewi Depot (Caerphilly County Area) ha the di tinction thi year of having i lied the highe t n umber of article viz. 271, and it i ea y to appreciate that a con iderable amount of service i invol ed not only in the i ue and return but al 0 the clean ing of every item. A Depot at Priory House maintained b. the Prior Headquarter taff dealt with the i ue of 2,095 article during the year ended 31 t December, 1965, as compared with 2,737 in the pre iou year. Ab ut half of the e borrowers received the equipment on free i ue, according to their means, to cover the co t of which the CardifT Public Health Department makes a grant to the Priory .

It is not surprising to find that the ale of textboob and other publications increa ed by 1,069 to a total of J J, J 27 a the S ond ~ dition of the Fir t Aid Manual which became a\ ailable in the autumn timulated interest and a greater number of per on qualified in ir t Aid than u ual.

The sales of Brigade uniform were down on the previou year but there was a greater demand for urgical equipment and training mod I.,. From the pUblicity angle, the di play tand at no fewer than 25 exhibition were a great ucce s and in orne ca e there were ati factory results also from an economic point of view. ST. J H

Three points were emphasi ed in my report last year. The Special Appeal for £100,000 show 50% of the target achieved. ~urther ~mounts will be coming in from the Northern and Western countIes, but It would appear that we shall be s0!'ll:e 2~ % short the target which means we must continue our fund ral mg In the comIng years. With regard to the st. John Councils, it i most encouraging that they have been so ready to upport the Appeal and everywhere there is evi~ence of a re-awakening of the Council in support of the Order and Bngade and thi i omething we must continue to foster. I have triven to make Priory House a more fitting place as Headquarter of the Order and its Foundation in Wale and I hope that the result of my effort will be appreciated by everyone. A personal welcome is extended to all members of the Order, the Association and Brigade to call at any time they happen to be in Cardiff to view the improvements. What have T et my elf for the forthcoming year? It will be k~o:vn th~t I am taking 0 er a Chief Commi sioner ~or Wales and COI?bInlllg thIS office with that of the Principal Secretary hip and thu re umlllg a system in force for 40 year from 191 . . ' . . Thi being Brigade Recruiting Year not only In .the PnncIP.alIty of Wale but throughout the country, it will be my major task to lllcrease the trength of the Brigade in which I know I can call upon the support of the countie and area. The growing pre ure up n our training a~d in ~ru~tional ~esources t? give eITect to the increasing demand for Fir t Aid 111 trucbon m~ke It e ential to develop A ' ociation activitie on a more adequate basI.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

concurrently with Priory Council and Chapter; a procedure which was initiated to avoid travelling long di tance to attend meeting which were frequently of short duration. A condition have evolved a policy has been adopted of convening meeting of Priory Council and Chapter at Centres away from the headquarters in J ohanne burg. In con equence the attendance of local member has been a sured without the nece sity of tra veiling. An Investiture of ixty-five Postulant was conducted at Durban on 9th September in the pre ence of a large and interested audience. The Prior Brigadier C. M. Hoffe presided. At the close of the 1939-45 war the Priory conceived the idea of e tablishing a hospital as a permanent war memorial' the project was in pired by the age-old and traditional a sociation of the Order in the fight against Eye disease. Since the hospital opened in December, 1951, work has rapidly increa ed and each year new record have been e tabIi hed. The ward have remained full and the number of patient attending the clinics has provided adequate evidence of the significance of thi work and an encouragement to the Priory in it unique position of maintaining, together with Jerusalem the only hospitals of St. John which are devoted exclusively to combating the ravage of eye disea e. I record deep and incere thanks to the Chairman and Members of the xecuti e Committee, the 1edical uperintendent and Staff, as well as the medical practitioner, for their loyal and devoted er ice. The Stella Londt re idence for elderly people at Port ,Ii7abeth wac;; originally to deal with tuberculotic patient. A this need \ a met subsequently by Government organi ations, the re idence was con erted for the use of the elderly. Thi charitable work could not have been undertaken had it not been for the generou donation by our late Confrere William Edward Londt. I am grateful to the Chairman and hi committee for their work and devotion to the cau e of elderly people. The Director of Ambulance and Chief Commissioner ha referreo in detail to the activitie of the A ociation and Brigade and to the vi its during the year of the Commis ioner-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Royer Dick, and of the Deputy Director-General, Sir Iexander Drummond . [ am sure visits by senior members of the Order overseas have a beneficial effect upon our work, together with the advantage of acquainting such persons with the nature of the problem experienced in the Republic. I take this opportunity of expres ing my gratitude to the xecutive Officers of the Priory, the Chairman and Member of the Priory Committees for the work done during the year and expre the hope that they will continue to render valuable a si tance with the arne enthu ia m and service as formerly.

The response to determined effort during 1965 to increa e the number of subscribers and advertisements wa di appointing. Centre however, responded to the appeal for news of local activities but regular monthly contributions are essential. It is by the nature and standard of the editorial that the significance of a publication i determined . Without a teady flow of news items from Centres and District iti difficult to fulfil the purpose of "The Call" as the mouthpiece of St. John in South Africa. Although the financial position for 1965 reflects an increa se in expenditure over income, taking into account the sub tantial increa e in the cost of printing, it is gratifying that the deficit i considerably Ie than antici pated.

HENRY L. PATERSON, Chancellor.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE PRIORY OF CANADA AN extremely pleasant highlight of our activities in Canada in 1965 was provided by the visit of the Commissioner-in-Chief. From St. John's Newfoundland, and to Victoria, Briti h Columbia, Rear Admiral Roye; Dick conducted inspections, gave press and television interviews, attended dozens of functions and called upon the Prime Minister, Provincial Premiers and Civic Officials. During the almost 30 days of his tour the Commissioner-in-Chief completed an exhau ting itinerary, spoke to innumerable Brigade Divisions, answered hundreds of que tion , gave the benefit of his advice whenever and wherever it was sought, and, in a very positive and enduring way added to the tature of the St. John Ambulance Brigade throughout Canada. Perhap the piece de re istance of this tour was the Annual In pection carried out at Drummondville, Quebec at \\hich over 1 500 members of Quebec Ambulance, Nursing and Cadet Divi ion participated. Thi was one of the most outstanding inspection of Brigade per onnel ever held in Canada. During the year St. John administrative juri diction over the Yukon Territory was transferred to our Alberta Council in view of the better communication existing between the e two areas . Another ignificant administrative change involved the tepping down of Commi ioner L. H. Nicholson from the office of Chief Commi ioner. The re ignation of Commissioner Nicholson, long a valued member of the Priory Executive and the honoured head of the Brigade, which had made fine progress under his extremely capable direction leave all of us with a deep sense of loss. I feel we were singularly fortunate however, to find in Col. 1. Redmond Roche, O.B.E. E.D., Q.C., Judge, Court of Se sions Montreal, and, successively, President and Provincial Commi ioner for St. John in Quebec, a proven and energetic successor. Personally, I am honoured to have Col. Roche on the Executive in his new capacity and confidently look forward to the continued progress of the Brigade under his direction. I am also very pleased that in 1965 we were ucce ful in inducing . to join National Headquarters Miss Margaret Hunter, C.D., Reg. Staff as our new Chief Nursing Officer and anticipate with confidence a renewed and growing interest in St. John Home Nur ing Training as a result of her planning and efforts. Of material a i tance in thi will be the new Home Nursing manual, "Patient Care in the Home," publi hed late in the year. To the authors of thi book, M. Christine Living ton, B.S., Reg. N., and M. Pearl Stiver B.S., Reg. N., and to Mi Evelyn A. Pepper, R.R.C., Reg. N., Nursing Consultant, Emergency Health Services, who prepared the section on Care under mergency Condition , the Order in Canada is deeply grateful. We are a1 0 deeply indebted to Miss Mary Acland, Reg. N., who, during the interval when National Headquarters was without a Nursing Con ultant, so capably handled the responsibilities of this office. On October 28th and 29th His Excellency, the Prior, held inve titures at Government House at which, in the presence of Her Excellency Madame Vanier and over 400 guests, 150 members of the Order were received and invested during most impressive ceremonies. Supplemental provincial ceremonies were held in Toronto by the Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, former Governor General and Prior of the Order in Canada, in Victoria, British

PRIORIES AND COMMANDERIES

Columbia, by Major General The Hon. G. R. Pearkes, V.c., LieutenantGovernor, and in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, by The Hon R. L. Hanbidge, Lieutenant-Governor, at which were invested many members of the Order who had found it impossible to attend at Government House in Ottawa. Although 1965 saw no advance in numbers trained in First Aid, Home Nursing and Child Care- ome 130,000 passed examinations in these subjects- there were several significant advances made in a number of areas. In some provinces inclusion of St. John First Aid in school curricula is establi hed' in others good progress to this same end is being made. The agreement between the Boy Scouts of Canada and st. John whereby Fir t Aid training is carried out in stages is working well and a similar plan with the Girl Guide will soon be operating. In the Ottawa Federal Di trict an Emergency Squad, highly trained and equipped with motor boat, underwater gear, re cue tools, skis, snowshoes, lifelines and emergency oxygen has been formed by an Ambulance Division on a 24-hour ervice ba i . In Montreal o. 444 Ambulance Division is 2-way radio equipped and in a recent di a ter 60 miles outside the City, 10 Brigademember-manned radio equipped cars were on the scene promptly. In ew Brun wick in 1965, St. John trained all Industrial Safety Inspectors establi hed by the province legislation setting up the Industrial Safety code. It i hoped that during 1966 a Cadet Provincial Travel Exchange will be in tituted involving 104 Cadets from British Columbia to Newfoundland and all provinces in between. This exchange will be supported by the Centennial Commission and if successful will be continued and expanded in 1967. Other Centennial project on which planning progressed during the year incluGe the colour film and history of the work of the Order in Canada, Fir t Aid coverage of the World Fair, Centennial Caravans and Train , and many local project . A. A. CRAWLEY, Chancellor.

COMMANDERY OF ARDS REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1965 THE out tanding event of the year was the In tallation, a Knight Commander of Hi Excellency the Governor of Northern Ireland (Lord Er kine' of Rerrick, G.B. E.) in ucces ion to the Lord Prior who as Governor had held the Office of Knight Commander throughout his Governor hip. . ' .

The Festival of St. John was not observed this year by any Church Service owing to various circumstances preventing the usual arrangements For similar reasons it was not po ible to hold a theatrical or cinem~ benefit performance, and the principal social occasion was a very Success. ful Ball, held by kind permi ion of the Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of Belfa t, Councillor Sir William Jenkins, J.P., at the City Hall on Friday, 5th March. The Ball was honoured by the pre ence of Their Excellencies The Governor and Lady Er kine, and by the Lord Mayor and Lady Jenkin, and was fortunate in attracting a trong and dis· tinguised attendance, resulting in a con iderable accretion to the funds of the Commandery. The very deep gratitude of the Order in Northern Ireland is due to the Lord Mayor for hi continuing and enthu iastic interest in it work a repeatedly indicated, not least, by hi permitting the Ball to be held in the City Hall. The Commandery i mo t grateful also to the Ladie Committee on who e effective arrangement the uccess of the occa ion depended. Eighteen appointment to and promotion within the Order were made in 1965, orne fifteen being new admi ion in the Grade of Serving Brother or Serving Si ter, with two promotion to the Grade of Officer. In addition, the Lieutenant wa promoted to Knight of Grace. The practical work of the Order ha continued with ub tantial uccess, in both As ociation and Brigade. Certificate i ued by the former number some 3,242, including 1 652 Adult Fir t Aid 514 Adult Nur ing, 666 Preliminary Fir t Aid, and 225 Preliminary ur ing. The Brigade now has 115 Divi ions (19 Ambulance, 43 ur ing, 6 combined, 12 Ambulance Cadet and 35 Nur ing Cadet), with a total per onnel of 2 862 (452 engaged in Ambulance activity, ] ,030 in ur ing 276 in Ambulance Cadet units, and 1,104 in Nur ing Cadets). Approximately 60,000 hour of public duties were performed, and the Di trict' twel e am bul ances covered 49,375 mile on duty, carrying 6,161 patients. It is with great regret that the A ociation ha lost the ervice of Mr. H. Boyce as Secretary, on his retirement. Mr. Boyce, an Officer of the Order, has held the appointment of Secretary for orne fi e year and has been active in the work of the Order for thirty-six year having joined it early in 1930.

The Po t-War Fund (Special Allocation) finances the Order's share of the cost of the welfare work in Service Ho pital undertaken by the Service Hospitals Welfare and V.A.D. Department, Order of st. John and British Red Cros Society. The cost of till work i met from interest from and proceeds of sale of inve tments. Provi ion ha been made in the Accounts for the accruing co t of gratuitie payable to welfare officers upon retirement.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

There are set out below notes on certain items appearing in the Accounts. BALANCE SHEET Grand Priory Church Rebuilding Fund During the year under review the target of £20,000 for which the Grand Prior appealed in 1961 wa reached and by year end contributions totalled nearly £20 500 (including estimated value of annual covenants). This has been a mo t gratifying achievement and the loan from the General Fund has been substantially reduced to £7,566. It i hoped that further progress will be made during the pre ent year toward the repayment of the loan.

included in the Accounts and has been compensated by an increase of £3,000 in the grant from the Post-War Fund. CONCLUDING COMMENTS

St. John Ophthalmic Hospital and Research Fund Jerusalem The new Appeal for the Ho pital and a sociated research was officially launched in May 1965 and by 30 September 1965 amounted to over £200,000, including promi e . The total actually received to that date was £112,884. This has been an encouraging re ponse to the Appeal in the difficult circumstances of the time and it i hoped to increase materially the Fund during the pre ent year. The fir t annual in talment of £25,000 of the grant by the Order of £100,000 to the Appeal wa paid during the year. 3.

Investments A number of inve tment change were made during the year yielding a net profit of £20,252 of which £13,594 appertained to the General Fund. The policy of retaining on hort term depo it a ub tantial proportion of money available for inve tment wa continued during the year in the uncertain investment conditions which prevailed. The market value of investments at 30 September 1965, v. a £ Ill , 09 Ie than co t, the greater part of the depreciation ari ing from redeemable ecurities, which hould ultimately be recovered. 4.

Properties The modernisation of the admini trati e office and provl lOn of adequate services at St. John' Gate for ceremonie and meetings has been completed. The further expenditure of £33 373 during the year increases the Balance Sheet figure to £94,766.

INCOME AND EXPENDITURE

Income from Investments and Deposits The overall income of £98,670 compares with £87,570 for the previous year, the increase being due mainly to higher rates of interest and the full use of the proceeds of the sale of the old Hospital in Jeru alem (Israel). 2.

St. John Ophthalmic Hospital and Research Fund, Jerusalem Expenditure in connection with the Appeal is the major cause of the increased cost £8,152 in the London office expen e during the year. 3.

The following figures, which are adjusted by the elimination of certain non-recurring items, show the trend of expenditure: 1960 £ 136,867

St. John Ambulance Brigade The cost of rented accommodation at 7, Gro venor Crescent has been increased from March 1962 consequent upon the financial arrangements attending the Grosvenor Crescent project. The additional co t has been

1962 £ 169,890

1963 £ 178,118

1964 £ 181,441

1965

£ 201,989

The increase last year of over £20,000 was the largest in recent years and to the extent of about two-thirds was due to salaries, pensions and related payments. Salarie for the current year have been increased by 5 % to take account of the rise in the cost of living; thus expenditure for the current year will be still higher. egotiation with the freeholder and other lessees in Grosvenor Crescent have continued for an e tended time but an agreement has been provisionally reached under which the leases of Nos. 8 and 10 will be realised and be replaced by a 99-year lease of Nos. 1 and 2. The capital outlay involved will re ult in a mall 10 s of interest and the increased rental will add to the cost of annual outgoings. The Order and the two foundations concerned will, however, have security of tenure on terms which seem fair and ati factory. The cope for economies is limited, so the ability to keep income and expenditure in balance in conformity with the principles set out in the memorandum entitled t. John Finance, approved by Chapter-General in March; 959 and reaffirmed in 1964 depend on an increa e in the main source of income. Income from inve tment wa buoyant in 1965 and no further 'improvement can be expected in the current year. The Stores Department was adver ely affected by the changeover to the new Fir t Aid Manual last year and it also incurred preliminary expense in connection with the new publication. The pro pect for the current year are much better. Although the Balance Sheet total of over £2-1- million seems an impres ive figure the pre ent re ource are fully committed to the future support of the Order, the A ociation the Brigade and the contributions to the Hospital and associated research.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

Report of the Hospitaller and Hospital Committee for 1965 including the REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL SUB-COMMITTEES

The Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Ho pital have the honour to submit their seventy-fourth report covering the eighty-third year of the Hospital for the information of H .R.H. The Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. GENERAL

During the year under review the most welcome and plea ant event was the visit paid to the Hospital on the 6th October by Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra and Mr. Ogilvy who were pa ing through Jordan on their return from a long tour in the Far East. De pite the hortness of her stay in Jerusalem and her many other commitment, Her Royal Highness made an extensive tour of all the department of the Ho pital, met the staff and delighted the patients with her cheerful and happy greetings. To everyone a Royal Visit such as this is an immense tonic, and we are indeed grateful to her for her interest and for the graciousne with which it was expressed. RESEARCH

Our research to elucidate the various manifestations of trachoma in the Middle East, and particularly to attempt an effective prophylaxis of the disease by the immunization of children with a vaccine, is continuing on a greater scale. At present an effective team compo ed of members from the Institute of Ophthalmology in London under Professor Barrie Jones, the Trachoma Group of the Medical Research Council under Dr. Leslie Collier of the Lister Institute, and the Government of Iran under Professor Mofidi of the Department of Public Health Research of that hospitable country, is busily engaged in the Malayer area of Iran where this blinding disease is endemically rife. The team, British and Iranian, comprises 11 persons, an expensive project partly financed by our Research Fund. The preliminary arrangements for this work were made in 1964. Early in 1965 an extensive survey was carried out when over 500 young children as yet uninfected with trachoma received two injections of the new vaccine; ~he results of this are being followed up in the spring of 1966. In this regIOn 90 to 95 % of the children become affected before the age of 2 years. In the

REpORT

autumn of 1965 Professor Barrie Jones returned to Iran with three other research workers and together with three Iranian workers made an intensive study of the entire population of this area to obtain epidemiological and laboratory data on trachoma and to devise more sensitive methods of diagnosis than are now known. Parallel work on these problems is being carried out at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. At the same time three Iranian doctors have been brought to the laboratories of the Institute in London for training in these new methods; they will return to Iran in 1966 to work with our team for the next vaccine follow-up. Further research will be guided by our findings then. The vaccines at present under trial seem to be a considerable improvement on those previously tried, but the~r results cannot yet be anticipated, whether they modify the course of disease or eradicate it. However that may be, the co-operation between Iranian and British workers is proving to be very fruitful and ha produced a harmonious, effective and solid team which is probably a unique and certainly a highly desirable development in scientific co-operation between the West and a Middle Eastern country. ot only will this allow of continuous work by the Iranian workers during the intervals between the visits of our team, but it will enable them to continue with it when our experimental studies have ceased. Moreover, in this work on the ba ic nature of trachoma and its treatment we are in close touch with the American ARAMCO/Harvard and the Seattle research teams working re pectively in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, as well as the Trachoma Scientific Committee of the World Health Organisation, both by personal contacts and by sharing information as soon as it is discovered and long before it can be published, so that there has been a spontaneous apportionment of problems between the various groups with the avoidance of repetitious work. This research is undoubtedly at a most intere ting stage and is certainly of major scientific importance; and it could lead to results of unusually great social and humanitarian value in tbe alleviation of the effects of the most blinding disease known to man. It would be indeed good if the British team "makes home" first. HOSPITAL COMMITTEE

It is with very deep regret that we have to record the death on the 4th September of Lord Bo om, a Bailiff Grand Cro s of the Order and a Member of thi Committee since 1936. Lord Bo som's devotion to the Order and his help to the Ho pital Committee over many years were outstanding. He will be particularly remembered for hi enthusia m in bringing the new Hospital into existence; a an architect of great di tinction he took a personal part in it planning and watched over its building. His death is indeed a sad 10 . With much regret we have had to accept the r ignation of Dr. R. H. Scott. Dr. Scott has r igned hi po t a Chief Medical Advi er of the Shell Petroleum Company; he has been ucceeded in that position by Major-General W. H. Hargreave who ha kindly agreed to serve on thls Committee. We are happy to have his ervices. We are also glad to welcome Lady Wakehurst, D.B.E. who, now that she is living in London, ha agreed to become the Chairman of the Ladies' Guild and to have a seat on the Committee.

OPHTHALMI

HOSPITAL

HOSPITAL STAFF

Our staff has again had a very bu y and rewarding year. The number of major surgical operations hac:; equalled the record figure it reached last year and the number of patients een in the clinic ha greatly increased. For the achievement of the e re ult our thank are due particularly to the Warden, Dr. Boa e, and to Dr. Budeiri. We are proud to record that the ervice which Dr. Boa e ha rendercd to the people of the Holy Land, and the great re pect in which he i held, were recognic:;ed in the cour e of the year by Hi Beatitude the Patriarch who conferred upon him the honour of a Knight Commander of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. We wou ld like to congratulate Dr. Budeiri on the completion of 30 year of service to the Hospital- urely a plendid record the more 0 when we remember the vicissitude through which the Ho pital ha passed during thi period. But indeed, he ha been with u longer than that, for he gave LIS part-time voluntary ervice before he joined the permanent taff in ] 935. With the exception of the e two talwarts the urgical appointments have been filled in accordance with our e tabli hed practice by hort-term secondment or appointment of ophthalmologi t from the nited King· dom, the Commonwealth and from the Arab State. A Ii t of those who have served during some part of the year i printed el ewhere in this report. The ystem under which the surgeon from the Forces are seconded to the Hospital has worked moothly and, we believe, with benefit to them as well as to u . We are happy to report thi year another econdment to the Hospital of a surgeon from the Royal 10rdanian Army: Captain Wajeeh H. Abdul-Kareem arrived on eptem ber I st for a six-months' attachment. We are now also welcormng a eries of young urgeons from Moorfield Eye Ho pital in London who follow each other by working for a period in Jerusalem after their 3-year re idency at M oorfields, thus providing us with a ucce sion of brilliant young men expert in the rno t recent techniques in ophthalmology. As in previous years we have had the great plea ure of having with us an American urgeon who, in addition to acting a onc of our medical staff, makes him elf responsible for the =ye-bank e tabli hed in the Hospital by the International ye-bank. At pre ent thi . i being financed from Washington, and it eem possible that in the future it may be sponsored by the American Society of Sl. John. The pre, ence of the Eyebank is of great value to the work of the Hospital and it i to be hoped that in the future our connection with the U.S.A. will be continued through the generosity of our amliated Society. We recorded last year the presence of the fir t Arab woman urgeon on the staff, Dr. Sura el Aish. All we said in prai e of her la t year, and more, is true; and it was with regret that we allowed her to leave lI1 September to complete her post-graduate training at Moorfields "ye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. We were sorry also to say goodbye to our Matron. Miss Blewitt join~d us in 1958 as Assistant Matron and succeeded Miss tent a Matron tn 1961. She leaves with our best wishes for happines in her future career. In her place we are very fortunate to have been able to engage Miss M. J. Holloway who is no stranger to us, nor to the Arab world. he served at the Hospital in Watson and Strathearn Houses for two years from 195~1952 and she has been Supervisor at the American Univer ity Ho pital tn

Beirut for seven years. She was delighted to return in October to the Jerusalem that ~he know~ and loves. We are ~appy also to we1com.e back Miss Eileen SmIth as ASSIstant Matron and Sister Tutor, a post whIch she bas already filled for several years. We have made one succe ful innovation. Hitherto each of the Nursing Sister in turn has been responsible for the catering and general housekeeping of the Hospital ~or a few months at a time. This s,YsteI? has never been popular with the SIsters who come to Jerusalem pnmanly to nurse patients nor, understandably, has it been particularly successful. We were therefor~ happy to gra p the opportunity which arose early this year of appointing Mis Martin as permanent Catering Officer. Miss Martin, a French lady whose home is in the Dordogne, has been several years on the staff of Moorfield ye Hospital in a rather similar capacity. She has already done much to improve our tandards of catering and housekeeping in Jeru alem and to bring down the costs. For many years Mi s M. B. MacKellar, t~e Matron of Moorfields? has been a great friend and u pport to the HospItal; not only does she aId ~s in selecting each Nur ing iter and encouraging them to broaden theIr training and their outlook .by a tour of ~ uty in J~rusalem, but she also smoothes our path in nursing problems 111 a multItude of ways. We are very pleased that she has now agreed to become our ~ursing Advis~r. She spent a month in lerusalem early in th.e y~ar, workm.g personally In every department of the Hospital and studYing ItS econorr.l1cs. Her report, a rno t exhaustive job-analy is of our nur 109 and dome tIC arrangements, ba been of the greatest val ue and the recommendati?ns it embodies ~ere brought into effect in ovember. They have re ulted In a more ~conomlc~l and efficient u e of nursing and dome tic staff and a general Increase III efficiency. HOSPITAL FABRI

Our Ho. pital ha now been in use for more than five ye<1: rs and we.IT.lUst begin to expect a mounting bill for maint~na.nce and repal~ . In antiCIpation of thi we have approved a re-orgaOl atlOn of our ma.lOtenance staff 'rrith the engagement of a full-time painter and a full-tIme carpenter. There i \ ork- and m re- for both of them and already we have found that a con iderable economy has re ulted in com pari on with the frequent employment of out Ide contractors. We hould like to engage a plumber also when a uitable man can be found.

John. FINAN E.

As foreshadowed la t year the Appeal for the Ho pital and Resear~h Fund wa. launched in May. We need £ 1 million. It is. neve: ea y to ral e money for a charity, however w rthy, when the cau e IS so httle kn~wn ~o the general public as are re carch on trachoma and our Ho ~ltal III Jerusalem; and although we could not have known it when we deCIded to

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

make this Appeal, we could not well have chosen a more unfavourabl year. T?e financial dit?cult~es ~h~ough which. the country has been passin: have hIt us hard; neIther mdlvldual subscnbers nor the large industrial and ~OIJ?mercial ~oncer~s which are often the most generous supporters of ~hanty m t~e Umted Kmgdom have been able to subscribe as they would m normal times. J:Io,wever nearly £t million had been rai ed by the end of the year. This IS not the place to record our thank to individual donors but we cannot let the opportunity pass without a special word of appreciation of the action of o.ur friends, the Netherlands Order of St. John. La t summer they ma~e theIr own appeal on our behalf and raised over £1,100 for us. S~ch actIOn speak more strongly than words of the pirit of charity which bmds the Orders of St. John and reaches across the national frontiers of the world today. We must record also our admiration of the manner in which Sir Edwin Chapma~-Andre~s has led this many-sided and complex appeal in un. usually .d~fficult circumstan~es. His conviction, hi faith in the future, and the untInng energy and drIve he ha brouoht to this ta k have been the admirati~m of us ~ll and ~re beyond prai e~ We are most grateful to him and to hIS CommIttee whIch has directed the Appeal. The appeal Fund continues to mount~ if lowly. It will be a long haul, but the money must be .found. The plam fact i that at pre ent we only have enough to keep gOIllg for a very few years. We do not believe that any member of the Order wishe us to withdraw from the Research Camp~ign or would like t~e Ho pital to clo e it doors. For over eighty years It has tended the blmd people of Jeru alem and the neighbouring lands and the work it is doing today is greater than ever before. Moreover the hope held out for the future, if modern medicine can indeed provide a cure for tracho~a,. is so brig~t that we mu 1 pare no effort and grudge no expense to gam It. If a vaccme can be found the Ho pital could become the central focus in a wide i:nmunization programme. That campaign would rank amongst the fine t thmgs the Order of St. John ha ever done in all its long history. The benefit to mankind would be incalculable. Turning to details of ~he .Hospital' Income and Expenditure, although th~ ~ccounts reveal a rIse In expenditure of some £15,000, yet most of this IS. n<;m-recurrent. Our actual expenditure on salaries and hou e-keeping and SImilar ~xI?ens~s has gO.ne up very little. And we have een this year a most gratIfYIng mcrease III revenue from private patients' fees-from £5,8~0 to £9,000. This is a reflection of the growing fame of the Hospital, partI.cularly amongst that portion of the population which wishe to have a pn~ate room and to pay a fee. Such people have often learned with surpnse that they can obtain in Jerusalem treatment a good as anything in the Capitals of Europe. The Treasurer and Accountant of the Order, Mr. D. B. R. Swin tead, paid a visit of inspection to the Hospital in November. He examined in detail .the book-keepin.g and other financial arrangement with the cooperatIOn of the SuperIntendent, Mr. Issa Marogi, and was able to make a numb~r of .valua~le recommendations and to clear up a number of outs.tandl~g dlfficu~tIe.s. We are most grateful to him and were glad to receIve hIS appreCIative comments on the conduct of affairs by the Superintendent and his staff.

LADIES' COMMITTEES

Mention has already been made, earlier in this Report, of the appointment of Lady Wakehurst to be the Chairman of the Ladies' Guild in succession to Lady Scarbrough. Lady Scarbrough has been a Member of the Guild since 1945 and its very successful Chairman since 1952. Her service has therefore spanned some of the most difficult years in the history of the Hospital. She saw the loss of the Old Hospital on the Bethlehem Road, the years of improvisation and make-shift in Watson and Strathearn Houses, and the planning ~nd building and finally the occupation and .use of the new Hospital Itself. We are more grateful than can be easily expressed to Lady Scarbrough for her devoted service throughout this time. It was she who enlarged the membership and scope of the Guild to meet the greater re ponsibilities which she foresaw when. the new H.ospit~l was built and she can be proud of the success the Guild has had ill domg so. L~dy Wakehurst's appointment was approved by Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Glouce ter, at the beginning of the year, and she immediately took up her task with zest. Her own account is published with this Report. It will have been noticed that the name of the Guild itself has been changed; the new name "The Ladies' Guild of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem" is thought to reflect more closely the activities and responsibilities of the Guild today, for, in addition to supplying the linen for the Hospital it meets a host of other needs and requirements and provides many amenities and comforts which could not properly be met from a Hospital budget. Its ability to do thi~ with s~ch generosity is large~y d~e to the Guilds in Canada, in AustralIa, and m New Zealand, which ill recent years have been increasingly liberal both in cash and in material gifts. Similarly, the Ladies' Hospital Committee in Jerusl!lem, under the director hip of Mrs. McInnes, the wife of. the A:chbishop, an~ M~s. Boase, i continuing its out tanding work m helpmg our J:Iospital, ItS nursing staff and our patient . This maintenance of interest m our work by Briti h and Arab ladies in Jerusalem is a very satisfying acknowledgement of the appreciation in which it is held. THANKS

So many contributions have been received this ,Year it;! ans~er .t~ our Appeal that it will be no longer possible to pu1?hsh a list of mdlvIdual subscriber with this Report as has been done ill the past. Our t~anks have been sent to each one of them individually and ha e been published in the National Press. But, nevertheless, there are some contributors whose generosity is so outstanding that we wish to name them here. We already owe much more than we can say to the Recei~er-Ge~eral of the Order for the wisdom with which he guides our finanCIal affaIrs; to th~se services he has now added a personal subscription of almost emb.arras mg generosity. To Sir George and Lady Wilkinson we are equally mdebted. Colonel J. F. E. Pye and Miss E. J. F. Smith, both great benefactors ?f the Association and the Brigade, the one in Somerset and the other ill Sussex have extended their generosity to the Hospital too, as has the Hon. Denis Berry. One particular supporter in the Middle East must be

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

mentioned here with gratitude; Kamel Abdul Rahman gave a cheque for £5,000 at the beginning of the year and ha promised more. We are most grateful to those members of the A sociation and the Brigade in England who helped us by the sale of Christma cards; a special card was pro. duced and was sold throughout the country in aid of the Hospital. We must also mention the Tru tees of the Istanbul and Smyrna Hospital Fund, whose vision and generosity have been such an encouragement to us. Finally, we are again greatly indebted to the Iranian Petroleum Company and the Iranian Oil Consortium for continuing their magnificent contributions to our work which they have now given for some years. Our friends and colleagues in the Priories overseas have helped us as before with their personal subscription and in a number of other ways. We should also like to express our particular thanks to our many friends in Jordan; to members of the Government and to those in Govern. ment service who smooth our path in a multitude of way ; to the Municipality of Jerusalem to whom we are indebted for a ub cription to the Appeal in addition to invaluable help in the day-to-day affair of the Hospital; and to innumerable good friends in every walk of life.

WARDEN'S ANNUAL REPORT 1965 RETROSPECT

;.: I

Without any doubt the most memorable event of the year was the visit of H.R.H. Princes Alexandra on October 6th. Her Royal Highness made a very comprehensive tour of the hospital and expressed her interest and great appreciation of all she saw. Both she and her husband endeared them elve to staff and patients alike by their kindness and informal simplicity. \Ve were indeed most fortunate to have been visited by so gracious a lady to whom we tender our thanks and our loyal respects. In April we had the great honour of a visit of inspection by the Crown Prince of Jordan, Prince Hassan, supported by the Prime Minister, the Governor of Jeru alem, and the Lord Mayor of Jerusalem. His Royal Highne recorded hi great intere t in the ho pital and the hope that it would continue to prosper. Throughout January we had the pleasure and advantage of having the Ho pitaller and Lady Duke-Elder re iding in our midst. It was no surprise ta learn that during thi period yet another volume of the incomparable "Sy tern of Ophthalmology" came to birth. Nor was it unexpected that the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, His Beatitude Benedictus I, should ackno\\ledgc Sir tewart's de\ otion to the cau e of Jerusalem by investing him with the in ignia of Commander of the Knight of the Order of the Holy epu1chre. In February a tree-planting ceremony took place in the hospital grounds, and \\ hen in the future \ 'e see the e tree in their prime we will look back and remember with gratitude thi kindly ge ture on the part of Mrs. Leila Wil on and the ladie of the American Con ulate in Jerusalem. The olive tree \\ere a gift from the :t\lunicipality to Mr . \Vil on to commemorate her tal here. \Ve feel it i, a great compliment that he hould have chosen ta have them planted in our ho pital During pril we had the pri\ ilege of an official vi it by Mi s MacKellar, the 1atron of Moorfield Eye Ho pital in London. This was no holiday far her but a mo. t arduou four week work that ha led to considerable reorganization and mcrea ed efficienc throughout the ho pital. \Ve are really mo t gmt ful to 1i s MacKellar for her help and advice, the fruit of her long and di tingui hed experience a a Matron. We hope he will not defer a econd \ i it for too long, and that n xt time her husband will be able to accompany her. In much the arne context \\e were \ery plea ed to welcome Mr. David Swin tead, Trea urer and Ac ountant of the Order, on his econd vi it to the Ho pi tal. Here again the ten da he pent with us in November were full) taken up ""ith ~1 meticulou in pection of our book and record and the general management of the Ho pital. \Ve under tand that our Ho pital Superintendent, Mr. 1 a Nlarogi, carne through thi inqui ition with flying colour. The e i its of inspection are of inestimable alue to us; would that they could happ n more frequently. .' The Lord Prior, Lord Wakehur t, wa here for a few day III Apnl, and again in November for a brief one-day \'i it from Beirut. Indirectly due to his rapprochement v.ith the German 10hanniterorden the Or~er' parcel of land adjoining \Vat on Hou e in the area known a the Mun tan ha been loaned on a gentlemen' agreement t the Lutheran church for U e a playground f r their chool.

The month-long fa t of Ramadan commenced this year on Christmas Eve. In deference to the large number of Mo lems on our staff, to whom ~ny form ?f jollification during Ram~dan would be quite unacceptable, It was dec.l~e? to hold the annual dlllner and dance before Christmas.

STATISTICS

The table appended to thi report give the Return for la t year, and of the preceding four years for com pari on. It will be noted that the number admitted to Hospital increased a did the total attendance. The reason for this is thought to be the remo al of re triction on travel between Jordan and Syria; there were 1 007 new case regi tered a having come fr~m Syri~, and 26~ from Saudi Arabia. Thi influx of patient from nelghbounng countne accounts also for the marked ri e of o\er 400 in cataract operations. The total number of operation i again ju t over the 6,000 mark. In the report for 1964 it wa aid that thi figure probably represented saturation level v-. ith our exi ting theatre capacity. La t year's results confirm the expectation. The plain fact i that two theatre are not sufficient. If .one ~ould alway ha\e t\\ 0 experienced quick-working surgeons COplllg WIth the day's operation list tv-.o theatre might be adequa~e, but as a very important function of the Ho pital i to accept and t~alll you1?g surgeons the time factor i all-important; \\ hat the expert does m ten mmutes may take the tyro an hour or more. It i here that a third theatre would make a great difference. From a tructural tandpoint this presents no difficulty; an adjacent open area need but two wails and a roof. And the cost? Our architect' rough e tlmate i under two rhc u-und p o unds. _11ere was a ignificant fall in the number of corneal graft. To a small extent this is attributable to incapacitation through lllne of Dr. Ray, the ~ye-bank surgeon, who has the primary re ponsibility for trying to ?btam corneas from local sources. In the main, hO\ ever, it is the, as yet, lllsuperable antipathy of the public to removing the cornea from deceased persons ~hich is. the chief ob tac1e to progress. Generation will pass before thIS aversIOn to any form of autop )- disappear from Moslem countrie .

No less than twelve different surgeons served on the staff at one time or another during the year. Dr. Harry Caldwell, 'Bunker Fellow' of the International Eye-bank, returned to Kentucky in July, and was replaced by Dr. Ronnie Ray from Washington. The Royal Air Force has again assisted u : Wing-Commander A. Morgan completed his six months econdment in February and was relieved by Squadron-Leader M. Shearer until August when the Royal Navy took over with Surgeon Commander A. Russell. Our lady surgeon, Sura El Aish, left for London in September, and was replaced by Captain Wajeeh Abdul-Kareem on six months'secondment from the Jordan Army. Dr. Terrence Hypher joined us in January for a whole year. In October we lost our "Aussie", Dr. Joe O'Sullivan, who left for further study in London. Finally, Dr. David Owen, fresh from St. Thomas's Hospital, arrived in December on a year' appointment. There was no change in the personnel of Warden, Sub-\Varden (Khalil Budeiri) and the Superintendent (Issa Marogi). For the second time we had a final year medical student from St. Thomas's working here as a trainee during his summer vacation. Of the Si ters Mis Anne Blewitt who had been Matron for almost four years decided to go in earch of pastures new. She left in October, and is now in South Africa, where we hope she is happily settled. Her successor, Miss Margaret Holloway is no stranger for she served in Watson House in 1950-1952. Mis Claire Buxton, Assistant Matron and Sister Tutor, left in September, her po t being filled by Mi Eileen Smith who thus re umed her original appointment after an interval of eight months at Moorfields gaining further admini trative and teaching experience. Sisters Martha Roberts Jean Seath and Elizabeth Wood left during the year and were replaced by ancy Donnelly, Rosetta Clark and Erna Gugerel. A new po 1. that of Catering Officer was filled in April by Miss Georgette Martin. Of the six local nurses who took final examination, fi e passed. One has remained on the taff as an ophthalmic nur e. Five out of seven first year student pa ed the fir t examination. Twel e nurses passed the Government Fir t Aid examination.

REPOR 00 the achievement and problem of the Brigade during the year naturally centre on de cribing the service carried out at home and o er ea . 1 feel, however, tha it i nece ary to tart by reminding the reader that the en. ice given by Brigade member are entirely voluntary and are unpaid, indeed, orten member have to dip into their own pockets. [ reali e that thi i, of cour e well known to tho e closely connected with the Order and Foundati n . There j , however, uch widespread mi conception by the general public that tho e 0 regularly een in our uniform doing their nne w rk on occa ion, public and private large and mall, are being paid for what they do; r feel therefore it i de irable to make the r regoing clear yet again in the very forefroot of thi report. Nor mu t it b f rg ttcn that Di<,trict~, Countie and oit them elves have to carry out exlen i e acti\ itie to rai e the money nece ary to meet their local e\pen e_ on uch matter. a ambulance, uniform, radio equipment, and the \ery to h of their trade uch a bandage and other fir t aid item though we try to u pplement thei r fund to the be t of our ability from national fund raiing event t which reference i rnade later.

On di embarkation it wa found that the hospital to which the patient wa going had no knowledge of her.

Eventually the Airport Medical uthoritie arranged for her to be admitted to a mental ho pital.

inally, it may be of intere t to relate that the Air ttendant had left London at 11.30 p.m. on Saturday night, arri\ed at her mersea de tination at 5 a.m. on unda), di embarked at London Airport al .30 a.m. and wa back at her home that afteronday. he re umed her noon.

Imo tall COLlntie and a number of Area have now appointed a Staff Onker (Training), who e eITort ha e co ntributed much to raising the tandard at Divi ional Ie el.
