That the Knights who should make their profession in it should adorn their Knighthood with a true Charity, the mother and solid foundation of all virtues, with hospital service, and a sincere attachment to the Faith, and being employed in these various functions, should only seek to distinguish themselves by a course of virtue. Soldiers of Jesus Christ are designed only to fight for Hls glory, to maintain His worship, to love, reverence and preserve justice, to favour, support and defend sl1ch as are oppressed, without neglecting the duties of holy hospital service.

The ITo pitaller and the ommittee of the Ophthalmic Hospital ha\'e the honour to suhmit their sixtieth annual report for the information of H. H.. H. '1 he Grand Prior and the Chapter-General. TIlE C01IMITTEE.

It is with very great regret that the death is reported of Brigadier \\'ilEam Brac1ley )0. ett Barne, .B.E., D . . 0., the Secretary"General of the Order, and a memher of the Hospital Committee. ILH.. H. The Grand Prior has approved the appointment of ~ ir Hugh Dow, G.C.I.E., E .... I., to be a member of the Ophthalmic Ho pital Committ 'C as from (lth ~ Tovcmber, 10.")1, for the remainder of the triennial period which commenced on ,t. John's Day, 24th J un , 1951. THE HOSPITAL STAFF.

I t is with regret that the Committee has to report the resignation of the \\'arden, Dr. Torman 1anson, C.B.E., M.B., D.O.III . . , as from 30th June, EJ.:i2. The \ \'arden informed the Hospitaller that, owing to the '>train of serving in th ::\Iiddlc Ea t for 21 years, of which 16 years were ..,pent in the _pn-ice of the Order, he felt that he could not go through ,1l1other very strenuous epidemic season. The Committee realize that the \\'arden 11a ' _crved the Orcler during the most difficult years in the IIospital' hi tory. He received puhlic recognition for his ervices when His Lat lajc ty conferred on him the honour of .B .E . in the Jew 'ear's Honour of 1940. It i with very great regret that the ommittee accepted the \Varden's resignation, and it is the hope of the Committee that, when he ha been relieved of his heavy burden o£ anxiety and work, he will be completely restored to health. The Committee wi hes to put on record it deep appreciation of the devoted service Dr. Norman 1an on has given to the Order, to Britain, and to hundreds of thou ands o£ uf£er rs in the Middle East. Dr. Elia Doany returned to England in October, 19.')1, to attend Moorfields for advanced ophthalmological studies. The Committee has t o report with regret the resignation of the Matron, Miss M. D . Millman, M.B .E., as from 1 )th August, 1951. Miss Millman nrst joined the British nursing staff of the Hospital in 1938 anc1 succeeded Miss A. C. G. Hayes a Matron in 1946. Mi s Millman's tenure of orflCl! covered one of the 1110 t critical periods in the history of the H ospital. After the termination of the Mandate. she remained at

For her servi,ces Mi ~ Millman wa awarded the M.B.E. in June, 1051. The CommIttee WI h to take this opportunity to express to, Miss Ellman their ,deep gratitude for her service to the Order, and to \VI h her every ucce I~ the future. In eptember, 1951, Miss, D.

for by the lessees. On the future of the building on the Bethlehem road depends the whole policy of the Orcler in regard to maintaining its hospital in Jerusalem. It is felt that a clinic should be maintained in the Old City for historical and traditional reason, and that possibly a new and up-to-date ho pital might be built elsewhere outside the Old City wall, the acces ibility of which would be to the advantage of both patient and staff. The whole matter is being investigated by ChapterGeneral.

THE SITUATION

PALE TL E.

There has been no geographical change of the armi tice lin wh~ch was fixed at the cessation of fighting b tween I fa I and J orclan. 1 hc old hospital building on th Bethl h.em roa~ till remain on the I ra 1 side of the line and are con equently macce slhle to th ,\rabs who form the great majority of the Order' ,rat,ient. \\'ats,on an~l trath am Houses, two of the Order's propertIe m the Old Cltv adJac .nt to th Muristan the site of the original ho pice, are on th , \rab lde of thr, line and 'are still heing used as an out-patient' clinic; while the third property, pafford House, which w~ kin.elly lent to tlle ?rd r hy Mrs. Vester, is still being u ed as the In-patIent departm nt wlth ahout fifteen beds and an operating theatre. It i po ibl, how \' r, that Mrs, Vester may wish pafford Hou e to revert to u e a a Bahy Hom organized by her for an America~ ,c~arity, in w~j h. cas tll r :vould be no in-patient department or facIlItIes for operatmg m. thc Old ~Ly. \Vatson and Strathearn House are not by any mans ldca.lly eqUlpp 'd for the amount of work carried out. During the y ar 1!),->1, H7,()()() patients attended for treatment, \vhic~ i a record numher in th ~ hi t~ry of the hospital. The Hospital ommIttee hav had,und r .consld ratlOl1 the possibility of building an extension ~n the, l\Iuflstar: It , ~ul., after seeking the 'advice of the Order's archItect m the ~hcldle I'.-a t, and that of other members of the Order who are conver ant with the Old itv , it was decided it would be inadvisable to recommend to hapter-Gen eral the building of such an extension, as at the most only a smal~ ho, pitnl would be feasible and it is generally considered that the Old CIty IS not a suitable situation for a hospital, as ambulances and other tran~po~t cannot enter it. It was further considered unsuitahle as the Old CIty 1<; not ideal for the British nursing staff. , , . It has become increasingly clear to the Hospital CommIttee, 111 VI~W of the opinions offered by those who have been clo ely conn cted ,WIth Palestine, that the buildings on the Bethlehem r?ad are ~10t l1,k ~ly ever to be of use to the Order again, on account of theIr strateglc PO~1t~on and because they are inaccessible to the Arabs, who form the maJonty of patients. The buildings on the Bethlehem road are at the moment all le~sed to various Jewish charitable organizatio,ns, and have :)ecn repaIred sufficiently to protect them from weathenng, and are bcmg well cared

T A~ CE .

The Committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking those who have given financial support during the year. They are particularly ind bLcd to the Priory of Scotland, the Priory of \Vales, and the Priories Over ea, , and al 0 to the Great Priory of England and \Vales of the Order of the Temple, and to the Cloth worker Livery Company for their continued ·upport. From the foregoing report it will be appreciated that uch support is more than ever needed in view of the ever-increasing work and probable commitments in the future. CONCLUSIO .

The 'ommittee would like to express to the \Varden, the Registrar, the Hou e urgeon, the Matron , ister Holloway, ister Bedrossian, and all the other workers in the Hospital their very warm thanks and deep appr ciation for the devoted and loyal ervice that has been given during the pa t year. They would further like to express their admiration for the taft' uncea ing efforts to maintain and enhance in every possible way the reputation of the hospital and the prestige of the Order.

The total numb r of attendances was 147,094 (previou year 141,09( ) . .., There has been a slight increa e in the number of op rabons 111 pite of the fact that very heavy out-patient work came at a tim 'vvh n only two doctors were available.

been of wide prevalence and gr at sev rity thi year owing to th unusually hot. SUI?1TI r. The value of the antibiotic drugs in treating this condition, whIch IS by far the commonest cause of blindnes in the Middle East is inc~lculabl '. and we have been greatly assisted by the gift from the mted Nai.lo~s Wor.k~ an~ Relief Association of abundant suppli s of str p~omycm-pencillm omtment.

UNDERHILL, T.D.

Report of the Committee of the Linen Guild for 1951. Although conditions at the Ophthalmic Hospital in the Old City are far from ideal, the number of patients attending for treatment not only increa ed, but reached a record figure. We realize the strain this must have imposed upon our small staff, and in particular upon the \Varden, and we appreciate all the more the selfless devotion to duty shown by all connected with the hospital during the strenuous epidemic season and throughout a difficult year. The rise in attendances at the Hospital clearly illustrates our need for the continued support of the Linen Guilds of all Priories and makes us doubly grateful for the generous and unfailing help we have received from them during the year. Particularly do we recall with gratitude the faithful support of the Linen Guilds of the Priories of New Zealand and Canada, who have once again lent us invaluable assistance under their Chairmen, Lady Elliott and Mrs. V\Tillis O'Connor.

REPORT

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL THE COMMITTEE.

The Linen Guild of the Grand Priory read with interest copies of a broadcast talk entitled The ,,yhite Cross ", which was given by Lady Elliott, Chairman of the Guild in New Zealand. tI

In the autumn of 1951 the Countess of Lytton reluctantly resigned from the Committee, as she lived too far from London to enable her to attend meetings regularly. Her resignation was accepted with great regret by the Committee. The Dowager Lady Lloyd kindly consented to become a member of the Committee in eptember and all the members greatly welcomed her appointment as Deputy Chairman. THE WARDEN.

The Committee wishes to express its very deep regret that Dr. Norman Manson has been compelled, for health rea on , to r ign from tbf:' ,\ ardenship of the Hospital.

LADIES' LINEX GUILD OF THE PRIORY IN CAl\ADA.

Early in 19.31 a letter was received from Mrs. \\Tillis O'Connor, Chairman of the Ladies' Linen Guild in Canada, asking what the anadian Linen Guild could do to help the Ophthalmic Hospital. In response to thi characteristically generous offer, the Guild suggested that the Hospital would welcome children's clothing, which would be suitable for the child patient of the Hospital, and a large crate of such clothing has now been very gratefully received. LADIES' LI~EX GUILD OF THE PRIORY 12\ SOUTH AFRICA.

On her return from outh Africa in May, 1931, Lady Elibank brought with her a short report which concluded : -

MISS 1. D. MILLMA},T.

Another loss to the Hospital during the year has been cau ed by. the resignation of Miss Millman from the post of. Matron. .The. ommlt~ of the Ladies' Linen Guild join with the HospItal Commlttee lr:t tha.nk~n g her for her services in a time of unprecedented difficulty, and 111 W1 hm g her success. THE MATRO)1'.

The appointment as Matron of Mi D. G. Wood is very much welcomed by the Ladies' Linen Guild, and in particular by tho e who were fortunat e enough to meet her before she left. ~or the Hospit~l. Th . ommitt e feel the utmost confidence in her abilIty to deal v{lth the Important and difficult task she has undertaken.

"The Ladies of our Guild send greetings to the Chairman and members of Queen Mary's Committee of the Linen Guild, which they are mo t anxious that the Viscountess Elibank should convey to the Counte of romer and the Ladies of her Guild, together with their good wi h s and in great appreciation of the interest expressed in their work in outh Africa which will unquestionably inspire their efforts in the year to come, e pecially at times like these where every possible effort toward the alleviation of human suffering is more than nece ary." The 'ommitt e of the Linen Guild of the Grand Priory expressed the utmost appreciation on receiving so kindly a message. LOA

ORDER FLAGS FOR THE CHURCH AT FAMAG

TA.

In the spring of 1951 I visited Cyprus and was shown the Crusaders old church at Famagusta. The archceologist, Dr. Majubguh, who accompanied Lord Cromer and myself, pointed out that the buttressed roof was surmounted by standard posts, whence in earlier times flag~ had evidently been flown on ceremonial occasions. He expressed a wIsh t o see this custom revived, and I promised that on my return home I would bring the suggestion before the appropriate authorities at the Gate. A number of (( Order Flags" of varying size have now been sent out o.n behalf of the Linen Guild, and a very grateful acknowledgment of theIr safe arrival has been received from the Chairman of the Council in Cyprus.

OF EMBLEMS TO THE FESTIVAL OF BRITAIK.

During the year a loan of the very beautiful heraldic ~mblems made anada and ent by them to the Grand Pnory was made to o. 1 DIstrict , ~ t. John Ambulance Brigade first aid post on the Fe tival site, outll Bank, for display on the beds at the post. by the Priory of

GUILD CHRISTMAS CARD.

Early in 1931 it was decided that it would be appropriate for the Linen Guild to have its 0\-\1.1 hristmas card. This took the form Qf a paper hookmarker ornamented with a coloured portrait of the Abbe s Fina in reproduction of the stained glass window in the Chancery at St. John's Gate.

LADIES' LINEN GUILD OF THE PRIORY IN NEW ZEALAND.

A very generous gift of children's clothing for the poor of ~ondon has been received from the Linen Guild in New Zealand and will, wIth th consent of Her Majesty Queen Mary, be distributed amongst the poOl in the thickly populated neighbourhood of St. John's Gate.

THANKS.

I cannot conclude tIllS report without an expression of gratitude to the members of the Ladies' Linen Guild who have given uch unstinted support to our cause; to all serving on the staff of the Hospital, all

those in authority at the Gate, and finally to you, ir, as Ho pitaller, for your continued kindne s and support and for the help and information which your Committee has gi ven mc. r would further, with humble duty, express my gratitude to our President, Her Majesty Queen Mary, who e kindly interest in all that pertains to the work of the Guild is a never-failing encouragement and support.

'1 he Tatiunal Dock Labour Buard has introduced an incenti,'e scheme tu encouragc its cmployees to learn First Aid and it is hoped that a large number of employees will take advantage of the opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of Fir t Aid. The Association has broken new ground during the ycar by the introduction of a course on Hygienic Food Handling. The decision to introduce this course was taken following the success of a course on Hygiene and Food Handling held in Southport by the Health Department there in conjunction with the Southport Centre. A pecial manual on the subject to be used in conjunction with the Association's hygiene textbook was prepared and published in the autumn, and a number of courses are in progress in various parts of the country. The purpo e of this new course is admirably stated by Dr. A. D. D. Broughton, M.P., in his Foreword to the manual-" There is general agreement among those who study

the problem (of food poisoning) that all cfforls to rcach a high slandanl of food cleanlin ss will fail unless the pcoplc who actually handlc the fooel have learnt to do so hygienically. It is to provide this necessary kn?wledge, supplementing the splendid combative efforts of oth~r .orgalllzations contendin/J \vith the same advcr. 'ary,. that the As 'OCIatlOn offcrs b a short but comprehen ive course of lI1..,t~uctlOn to o\~l1ers, manage:'~i, and staffs of all establi:hments where food IS hancllcll. l~ or thc llOl1S wIfe there is u eful knowledge to be gained to protect the health of her family." The A sociation has circularized those :J.kdical Officers of Hcalth who arc on its panel of Examiners asking for thcir co-opcration in arranging Hygienic Food Handling courscs, and thc response so far ha been most encouraging.

\VOM EN'S TE \\[S .

Before concluding my I{eport I wish to report the death of two distingui hed member of the Order, each of whom rendered great service to the Association in his particular phere.

Old fri nd and colleagues mourn in affectionate remembrance the death on th 7th October, 1U.51, of Brigadier Barne, who came to serve the Ord r in 1937, was appointed Secretary-General in 1941 and held that high office till h r tired on t. John's Day, 1951. It was a happy choice when the Order called Brigadier Barne to its ' rvice. The idea of the Order-its origin, its purpo e, and its way of life-wa wholly congenial to Brigadier Barne's own spirit and mind. H made its tradition part of himself and carried it forward in all that he did. He wa ' a man of high character, imple and incere. Kindly himself, h attracted naturally and uncon ciou 11' the affection of all who worked clos ly with him, in his Chancery office, in Council, and in ChapterGeneral. He had an equal interest in every part of the life of the Order and it Foundations. Hi term of office covered the war of 1939- 1945, a time of great stre s for the Order as for others. Thi meant many extra responsibilities. As Joint ,ecr tary of the Red Cro and t. John \Var Organization, Brigaui r Barn did everything that lay in his power to safeguard the interests of th ~ rder and enhance it potency. He took an informed and ympath tic int re t in th di" reactivities of the old Joint Council and it ' ucc 'or, the Joint ommittee-notably in connection with Emerg nc Help for the di abled ex-soldier and his dependents, and the Hom 'ervic .\mbulance D partment. ing th word ' of one of the traditional prayers off red at all meetings of hapt r-General, it may truly be said that it was given to Brigadier Barne « to maintain the honour anu usefulne s of our Order". service to hi memory was held in the Crypt of the Grand Priory hurch on th 30th October. DH.. XIGEL CORBET FLETCHER, O.B.E., M.A.

Dr. orb t PI tch r, a Knight of the Order and formerly urgeon-inChief of the Brigade, died on 21 t December, 1951. He wa for many year am mber of the ommitt e of the t. John Ambulance A sociation. H ga v hi fir t course of 1 cture for the As ociation in 1908 when he d putis d for his father at a railway ambulance cla s. It wa due to his ady conn dion with railwaym n, which was continued throughout hi lifetim , that Dr. Corb t Fletcher presented in 1929 the trophy known by his name for the runner -up trophy in the Inter-Railway National l'ir t Aid ompetition. He judged many Inter-Railway ational First Aid Competitions, and act d in that capacity on the occasion of the inaugural competition for the ational Police Final in 1928. His connection with the Brigade began in HH 6 when he became Divi ional Surgeon at Hampstead. In 1924 he was appointed A istant Commis ioner, o. 1 (Prince of vVale 's) District, and in 1936 Surgeon-inChief of the Brigade, an office which he held with great distinction until 1950.

His lit rary activities were extensive. In 191 5 he undertook the answering of questions in First A id, and when the Order decided to have its own publication he cheerfully undertook the additional burden of Honorary Medical Correspondent. He was the author of The St. John

10 Ambulance Associat~on, Its History and Its Part lYlovement, and of numerous works on first aid.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER.IN·CHIEF THE SECRETARy-GENERAL, ORDER OF ST. J OR . Sir, I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the St. John Ambulance Brigade for the year ended 31st December, 1951. This year has been one of continued activity on the part of the Brigade; the special feature being the duties undertaken with the Festival of Britain, to which I have referred in detail later in this Report. The outstanding changes at Headquarters have been the appointment of lr. H. F. Parshall, M.A. (OXON), as Director-General of the St. John Ambulance Association, which necessitated his relinquishing his duties as my Deputy Commissioner-in-Chief. He has been succeeded in this office by Brigadier T. D. Daly, C.B.E., M.C., M.A., while Brigadier A. Ritchie, D.S.O., and Colonel H . L. Mostyn Owen were appointed as my Assistant Commissioners-in -Chief. Following the retirement in 1950 of Dr. Corbet Fletcher as Surgeonin-Chief after thirty-four years' service to the Brigade, Mr. F. H. Edwards, F.R.C.S., was appointed as his successor; an appointment which was tragically ended by 1r. Edwards' sudden death in April, 1951. I am very glad that Major A. C. '\ hite Knox, O.B.E., M.C., B.CR., who has been Commissioner of the London District for so many years, agreed to become urgeon -in-Chief. (I very much regret that Dr. Corbet Fletcher died on the 21st December, 1951.) For the first time the office of Chief Nursing Officer has been filled by the appointment of 1iss N. Hamilton-\Vedderburn, S.R. J. STRE GTR. During the year 58 Adult Divisions (24 Ambulance, 17 Nursing, and 17 Mixed) were formed and 24 Adult Divisions (14 Ambulance and 10 Nur ing) were disbanded, while 121 Cadet Divisions (70 Ambulance and 51 Nursing) were formed and 29 Cadet Divisions (10 Ambulance and 19 Nursing) were disbanded. The total strength of the Brigade at 31st December, 1951, was : ADULT.

ROYAL VISIT We were greatly honoured by the visit of Her Majesty The Queen to St. John House on the 11th December. The occasion was a Conference of Brigade National Hospital Service Reserve Representative. Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret inspected a Cadet Rally of over 6,000 Cadets at Doncaster: an occasion which will live long in the memories of those present. Her Royal Highness Princess Alice and Major-General The Earl of Athlone inspected units of the Brigade of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, and Surre'y in \Vindsor Great Park on the 15th July. On St. John's Day His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, Grand Prior of the Order of St. John, accompanied by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Gloucester inspected all units of the London District in Hyde Park. INSPECTIONS. In addition to being present on the occasions mentioned above, I carried out Inspections in twelve counties. The Superintendent-in-Chief

FESTIVAL OF BRITAI . I was approached in November, 1949, by the Festival of Britain Authorities, to organize two First Aid Posts in conjunction with the British Red Cross Society, at the South Bank. Responsibility fell upon the Commissioner for the London District to organize this. This entailed a considerable amount of extra work. As it was so long since an Exhibition on such a scale had been held, there were no records to work on. In October, 1950, Colonel H. Mostyn Owen acted as Staff Offi~er .at Headquarters, which relieved the Commissioner of the London DIstnct from attending many meetings, etc.

First Aid Post. Details for the Post at the South Bank Exhibition were laid down by the Commissioner, London District. The Post consisted of a first aid room, two rest rooms with four beds in each, a Doctor's room and a Staff rest room. The decoration of the Post was done in attractive colours.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

Festival Gardens. In the .S pring .of.1951 the Festival Gardens Authorities approached me to orgamze a SImIlar post at Battersea. A Post on similar lines was cOl~s~ructed. Responsibility as at the South Bank was shared with the BntIsh Red Cross Society.

Organization and Equipment. T?e equipment at both Posts was of the highest standard. terilization eqUIpment of the latest pattern was installed, and the most up-to-date drugs and medicines were used. Miss Durrant, District Nursing Officer, London District, together with her Deputy, Mr. J. vVaterer, were entirely responsible for the above.

Staff· F~ve State ~~~~tered Nurses were. appointed for the Festival period. TheIr. responsIbilitIes were very conSIderable and arduous, as their staff of Bngade personnel was changed twice a day. Ten nursing members and eight ambulance members were allocated for duty at the South Bapk, and at the Festival Gardens each day. 2,545 m~mbers attended at the South Bank and 2,471 at the Festival Gardens. M~ss . \Vorkm~n, District Superintendent (N), and Mr. E. \V. Harris, DIstnct Publi~ Dut:y Officer, ~ere jointly responsible for finding these members. ThIS entailed a conSIderable amount of work, the keeping of duty sheets alone was no small matter. Alt~ough all th~ duties ~ould haye been covered by the London District, I conSIdered that It was nght to gIve all Counties a chance to send volunteers t? the Exhibition and a small percentage of members from the Home CountIes (and some from other counties) were on duty.

Records. The Festival ~uthor~ties demanded very extensive records being kept. Casualty sheets In detaIl were submitted daily to the South Bank.

The Lord Mayor of London, Sir Denys Lowson, and Lady. Lowson. The Chief Commissioner of Canada, Mr. W. J. Bennett. MISS MacLaren, the Superintendent-in-Chief, Canada.

The International Council of Nurses sent visiting Overseas Nurses, and many Doctors and Nurses from the Ministries of Health and Labour visited the Posts. General Lord Ismay was unavoidably prevented from carrying out an inspection.

Training. All members attending the post for duty gained great experience in practical work, especially as the Commissioner for the London District insisted that the standard of first aid was of the very highest. In fact, the treatment given was far above that of an ordinary first aid post. Other Exhibitions. The t. John Ambulance Brigade shared responsibilities with the British Red Cross Society to equip and staff the First Aid Post on the Festival hip Campania which visited the eight largest ports in the United Kingdom. In a similar manner the posts at the Land Travel Exhibition were staffed. The Brigade also carried out many duties in connection with Festival celebrations in the counties. During the Festival of Britain, the Standing Conference of National Voluntary Youth Organizations organized an Exhibition of Skills at t. Anne's House; the St. John Cadets had several exhibits on view. OUTSTA DI G DUTIES.

In addition to the many routine duties carried out by the Brigade faithfully week by week, and those in connection with the Festival of Britain, referred to above, I should like to mention the outstanding and excellent work performed by our members at the vVeedon railway accident and the Easington Colliery disaster, and, although it occurred in 1950, the Cresswell Colliery disaster also. On these occasions the members of the Brigade responded magnificently in the best traditions of the Brigade to the emergency, and carried out their tasks with efficiency and resource.

TRAI ING COURSES AND CONFERE CES.

Nine co~ferences and t~elve training courses 'were held at t. John House durIng 1951, all beIng very successful. An important innovation was. the confe~ence fo: Regional and County representatives for the NatIOnal HospItal ServIce Reserve. Her Majesty The Queen visited the house on that day and addressed the delegates. Two cour~e~ for Secretaries and Treasurers and two Casualty Make-up and CompetI!IOns Courses were held, owing to their popularity, but one course for Bngade N.C.O.s was cancelled owing to lack of support. The second post-war Summer Training Camp was held at Hopton-onSea, Great Yar~outh,. and was attended by sixty people. During the week a course In HygIene ~a~ held ar:d fourteen members gained the St .. John Ambulance ASSOCIatIOn Certificate. The Superintendent-inChief,. ~ady Mountbatten, spent a day with the local Brigade members and VISItors. The Ann~al County/Area Cadet Officers' Conference was again held at th~ Drapers Hall. At the close of the Conference the portrait of H.R.H. Pnncess Margaret by Henry Carr was officially received from the artist by Sir Henry Pownall on behalf of the Order of St. John. The fourth Annual Cadet Officers' Training Course was held this year at the Butlin's Holiday Camp, Clacton-on-Sea. There was an attendance

of some five hundred delegates, including representatives from Eire, New Zealand, Australia, Tanganyika, Canada, and Malaya. The first Presidents' Conference was held in London on the 30th October and proved of great value. OVERSEAS TOURS.

In company with the Countess of Brecknock, I carried out .a tour of Bermuda and the \Vest Indies in February and March. The Bngade was established only in Bermuda, Jamaica, and Barbados. In Bermuda we found that there is great scope for expansion, and I am glad to say that the Bermuda Electric Lig~t Company has decided to form Divisions of the Brigade from among Its employees. In ] amaica there is a very strong and efficient Brigade 'District, mostly concentrated in the populated areas of Kingston and panish Town, but I am hopeful t.hat the work may be extended outside these areas and on the plant.ations. The Brigade in ] amaica responded nobly t? the calls upon their services in the hurricane which swept the Island m A~gus.t, during which the Brigade members rendered most excellent serVIce m the matter of rescue work. I am glad to report that the services of Miss E. M. Stephens and Mr. A. V. urridge were recognized by the award of the B.E.M. In Barbados there are strong Divisions of Nursing Members, but so far there are only a very few Ambulance personnel. In Trini~ad and Briti~h Guiana there "were no unit of the Brigade, but the teaching of first aid has been carried out by the Association for many years. As a result, during our visit I was able t.o encourage the formation of Brigade units, and Divisions have now been registered in British Guiana, and official registration forms are expected shortly from Trinidad. Lady Brecknock was able to spend rather more time than I could give, and she found that in Gr nada and Antigua there was no form of St. ] ohn activity, either Association or Brigade. I am glad to report that classes of the Association are now being introduced. Early in 1952 I hope to visit Cyprus, Ceylon, Borneo, Singapore, Malaya, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada. The uperintendent-in-Chief visited East Africa during the year. and inspected t. John units in Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, and ZanZIbar. The details of this tour are included in her report which is attached, and it is gratifying to know how \yell the Brigade is established in these place~. I was pleased to arrange during the year for the Hon. Mrs. Leslie Gamage, County Superintendent (N.) of Berkshire, to me~t Brigade members in Australia, Ceylon, Singapore, Malaya, and IndIa, and for Mr. H. S. Taylor Young, ommissioner for V,'iltshire, to meet members in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. These visits, although private and unofficial, served to bring the Brigade in the Dominions and Overseas territories into closer link with the Brigade in the nited Kingdom. OVERSEAS.

Overseas t. John Headquarters Officers took up their duties during the year, when Mrs. Gerrity went to Singapore, Miss Best to East Africa, and Miss Anderson to Cyprus. As a result of the work in Cyprus we have

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

been able to form the first Nursing Division on the island, and further Ambulance and Nursing Divisions are in the process of formation. During the year the Order decided to appoint two St. John Headquarters Officers for the vVest Indies and Bermuda, and a urgeon Lecturer for Tanganyika. Miss Miskin and Mrs. Davie Smith were appointed for the \\ est Indies and Bermuda. \Ve were fortunate in obtaining the services of Lt.-Col. F. \~Tatson, M.B., CH.B., for Tanganyika. These Officers will travel to their respective posts early in 1952. During 1951 we were fortunate to have the appointment approved as Honorary Liaison Officer for the \Vest Indies of Colonel ir Harold litchell, Bt. His work will cover all branches of t. John work among the vVest Indian Islands. In October I visited Pakistan to attend the Pakistan Artillery Reunion, and while there I visited the Brigade units and enior Official at Karachi and Lahore. They are doing excellent work and the Brigade i grO\·ving in strength. In Malta the Brigade members have been very active in putting into a state of repair the new Headquarters at t. John Counterguard and the Brigade Flag was hoisted over these Headquarters by H.E. The Goyernor on the 27th October. The strength in Malta has been very well maintained and there is now a membership (including Cadets) of 1,125. Many activities are undertaken by the members including the organization of five 1edical Comforts Depots and successful Camps haye been held for the Cadets. In Hong Kong the Brigade is extremely active. During 1951 the Commissioner, Mr. Abbas el Arculli, retired after many years' de\'oted service. I am glad to say that Mr. D. VV. facIntosh, C.M.G., O.B.E., has taken over the post of Commissioner of this extremely active and well organized District. In Malaya where Miss Richer has been working as the t. John Headquarters Officer since December, 1950, the Brigade is expanding rapidly, and 20 new Divisions were formed in 1951. In Singapore a great deal of reorganization has been carried out. Here, as in all the places which suffered from the Japanese occupation, the recovery has been most marked, and the Brigade is approaching its previous strength while undertaking new activities such as the now wellknown Penetration Squads of Hong Kong. In Gibraltar the two Police Ambulance Divisions , the Nursing Division, and the Cadet Iursing Division have carried out their duties with excellent results. In April the Brigade was called upon to carry out first aid duties in connection with an explosion from a ship unloading ammunition. The Police, the Nursing Division, and the Cadets all carried out their duties most efficiently. In Mauritius the work of the Brigade is at present confined to the Police Ambulance Division, which has made steady progress during the year and increased its strength. I t is proposed during the year 1952 to form a Nursing Division. In Tanganyika the Brigade is showing signs of revival, and it is hoped to increase its present strength of four Ambulance Divisions, one Nursing

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDE T-IN-CHIEF.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT-IN-CHIEF

The Countess of Brecknock, Assistant Superintendent-in-Chief Overseas also visited the West Indies and the Islands of the Caribbean. D~ring the year the following St. J ohn I:Ieadq~arters Offic~rs took up their appointments overseas: Mrs. GerrIty (Smgapo~e), MISS Best (East Africa), and Miss Anderson (Cyprus) .. Repo~ts which have been received since they arrived show that theIr appomtments ~ave bee.n very fruitful; and Miss Richer who was posted to Malaya m 1950 IS making great headway. It was possible in October to form the first Nursing Division ever to be registered in Cyprus. In all Overseas Territories the Nursing Units have completed a year of admirable service and it is hoped that with the appointment of Headquarters Officers to other Te~ritories whe~e help from He~dquarters is so badly needed, the work will expand still further and be mtroduced in places as yet without St. John units.

Sir, I have the honour to submit my report for the year ended 31st December, 1951. BRIGADE DUTIES.

During the year the many public activities, arranged in connection with the Festival of Britain throughout the country considerably increased the demand on the services of the Nursing Divisions. It is noteworthy that the South Bank Exhibition and the Festival Gardens were both serviced during the whole period by nursing members supplied mainly by the London District augmented by volunteer members from the Home Counties and the provinces. The First Aid Posts at the Exhibition and Gardens were under the supervision of Nursing Officers, and a large number of casualties of all kinds were efficiently dealt with. The activities of the Divisions in all other directions have extended in a very satisfactory manner. A large variety of Brigade duties have been undertaken by the nursing personnel during the year, details of which will be found in the general report. Th y include public duties, hospital duties, nursing aid, assistance at Child \\ elfare Centres and Nurseries, staffing beach huts, attendance with ambulances, escort duties, blood transfusion service, running Iedical Comforts epots, assistance in connection with old people's welfare. OVERSEAS.

The outstanding event during the year has been the tragic hurricane which swept across Jamaica. I am happy to report that the Brigade in Jamaica gave magnificent service in relief and rescue work to those who suffered from the damage caused by the hurricane. H. 1. The King was graciously pleased to honour Miss Stephens, District Superintendent (N.), and Mr. Surridge, a former Staff Officer, with the award of the B.E.M. for the services they rendered. I would like to say how delighted we have been at Headquarters to meet the many overseas visitors who came to England during the Festival year. Nearly 200 St. John members were here and although it was not possible for all of them to fit in visits to Headquarters we were able to meet the majority of them, and had opportunities to discuss with them the problems they are faced with overseas. Early in the year I visited East and \Vest Africa and met personally many of those who are striving to introduce and expand our work in those territories. I inspected St. John units established in East Africa, and was much impressed with the wide variety of work being undertaken by our African, Indian, Asian, and European colleagues, specially in Kenya Colony. . In West Africa I saw the ever developing work of first aid training and carried out brief inspections of police units holding our certificates. I examined the fields for St. John training throughout wider communities and over larger areas, and I found vast scope for this and a real desire to see it established.

I SPECTIONS AND VISITS.

I, my Deputy, and my Assistant Superintendents-in-Chief have been able to visit nearly all the counties during the year and by personal inspection have obtained the great satisfaction of knowing how vigorous and progressive is the work being carried on. I myself carried out the County Inspections at PIJ?TIouth, the Isle of \\ ight, \Viltshire ( windon, Chippenham, and Salisbury), Ox.fo~d, Norfolk (Norwich, Attleborough, Fakenham, Swaffham), the East Rid0g of Yorkshire (Hull and Bridlington), Shropshire, and Essex. Durmg three days spent in Northern Ireland I visited all the provinc~s and inspected personnel in each of them. In. Devon I was ab~e ~o I~spect units at Exeter, Newton Abbot, and Paignton. On the mVItatIon of the Hon. John Bruce, Chief Commissioner for vVales, I carried out the County Inspection at Llanelly, having previously ?pened the new He~d quarters in that town. I also met a number of his members ~t ~ar~ff, and at Barry, where I visited the new Headquarters. At. the InVItatIon of Lord Aberdare, Prior for \Vales, I attended the meetmg of Chapter in Cardiff and addressed its members. I was also present at their big annual investiture and addressed the assembly and distributed certificates. I opened the St. John Exhibition at Reigate and subsequently proceeded to Guildford to inspect the Nursing Divisions. ~ .that area. I also visited Cornwall in order to open the St. John ExhibItIOn at Falmouth, where a very smart guard of honour was formed. During a visit to Bristol I met many of the Brigade members at an informal meeting. It gave me very great pleasure to accept the invitation of the St. John Executive Committee to visit the Brigade in Dublin. The nursing personnel on parade at the inspection in Windsor Great Park, which H.R.H. Princess Alice carried out, and also at the London District Inspection in Hyde Park, both of which I attended, presented a very smart appearance. I was also very pleased with the bearing and smartness of the nursing cadets who attended the parade on t he occasion of H.R.H. Princess Margaret's visit to Doncaster. Lady Dunbar-Nasmith, Deputy Superintendent-in-Chief, was present

THE ST. JOHN AMBULA CE BRIGADE.

at the County .Inspections a~ Somerset, Durham, and Northumberland, the North RIdmg of YorkshIre, Dorset, and Leicester. Mrs. ~irouard, Assis~ant Superinte~dent-in-Chief, attended the County InspectIOns at .LancashIre, StaffordshIre, Jersey, vVarwick, Hertfordshire, Sussex, CheshIre, Cornwall, Derbyshire, and Gloucestershire. The Countess of Brecknock, Assistant Superintendent-in-Chief Overseas, was present at the County Inspections at Cambridgeshire uffolk and East, South, and North Devon, and also at the Western and Centrai Areas of Hampshire Inspection. Miss Cunard, Chief Officer Nursing Cadets represented me at the N orthamptonshire County Inspection. '

I was able to visit the V.A.D.s at the R.N. Hospital at Plymouth, and also in H.M.S. Gannet, Eglinton, in Northern Ireland. All V.A.D.s have now been released from the Army. No St. John volunteers have as yet been enrolled in the Royal Army Reserve-Q.A.R.A.N.C. other ranks-recruiting for which opened in April of this year.

SERVICE HOSPITALS' WELFARE DEPART 1E T. In Commands in the United Kingdom and Overseas 125 "Telfare Officers are now serving, of which thirty are Brigade members who are posted as follows : 13 in the U.K. 3 in B.A .O.R. 7 in the Middle East.

4 in the rar East.

2 in Japan.

1 in Austria.

A,s Chairman of the Service Hospitals \Velfare Committee I visited year \rVel~are Officers i? hospitals in East Africa and Aden, m additIon to those m many hospItals in the U.K. Command. In the summer the Director of the ervice Hospitals \Yelfare Department carried out an extensive .tour of the Far East, Japan, and Korea, and saw the ex~~llent wo~k which our \Velfare Officers are doing in these areas. In additIOn to MISS Lawson, who has been working for a year at. 29th B.C.O.F. Hospital at Kure, another t. John \YcHare Officer, MISS Metherell, was flown out to Japan in May and was put in charge of the Convalescent Depot in Kure. Miss Downinf?, St. John,. who has been in charge in B.A.O.R. for two years, ~as appomted as ChIef yVelfare Officer, Middle East, in November, a~~ arnved at our Headquarters at Ismaili~ in the midst of the Egyptian cnSIS. She an.d all the Welfare Officers m the Canal Zone are doing excellent work m a very difficult situation. In U.K. Command the ~hief \Velfare Officer, fiss Aplin, t. John, found that the work had rncreased to such an extent that it became necessary ~o appoint Senior Welfare Officers in each of the Home Comman~s. MISS ~arbara Potter, a Brigade member of long service, has been appomted Semor Welfare Officer to Western Command. ~urmg. ~he

V.A.D. .In spite of every effort to advertise the need for V.A.D.s for service th t~e Royal ~avy, recruiting is disappointingly slow, both as regards Immediate full-hme service and for the Reserve. The number o~ St. John V.A.D.s at present serving is 33, of whom 8 are ov~r~eas (2 m Hong Kong, 4 in Malta, 2 in H.M.H.S. Maine). Only 14 have Jomed the Reserve. H.M. The ~ing was graciously pleased to confer the award of the ~.R.R.C. on MISS Haigh in recognition of her work as Senior V.A.D. m H.M.H.S. Ma~ne.

NATIONAL HOSPITALS SERVICE RESERVE. Although recruiting continues to be slow the year has shown a steady increase in numbers. Up to 31st December, 1951, 7,281 auxiliaries have been enrolled through the Brigade. I welcomed the opportunity in January of presenting their badges to 100 auxiliaries from the London District. Included in this number were auxiliaries recruited from the general public as well as from the Brigade Divisions. The annual Conference for Regional and County Representatives held at t. John House on 11th December was a memorable occasion, being honoured as it was by the visit of H.M. The Queen, our Commandantin-Chief, when Her Majesty graciously consented to address the eighty delegates present. The principal speaker at the Conference was the Dowager Marchioness of Reading, whose inspiring address was listened to with the greatest interest and admiration by all present. A number of representatives from the Ministry of Health attended, two of whom were included amongst tbe speakers. Both Mrs. Girouard and Miss Hamilton-Wedderburn have been indefatigable in their efforts to further recruiting to the Reserve and have spoken at recruiting meetings in all parts of the country. We have continued to work in close co-operation with the Ministry of Health over all matters relating to the Reserve, and my special thanks are due to the N.H.S.R. Regional and County Representatives who have done so much to perfect the N.H.S.R. machinery throughout the country. HOSPITAL CAR SERVICE. The Hospital Car Service continues to run smoothly and in some counties the volume of work is still increasing. The Brigade, together with the B.R.C.S. and the W.V.S. have been in close touch with the Ministry of Health and Local Authorities throughout the country and a number of county meetings have been held at which most satisfactory reports have been given. Mrs. Girouard attended the Regional meeting at Bristol and County meetings in Kent, Lincoln, Devon, and West Sussex, the Brigade being responsible for the Hospital Car Service administration in the two latter counties. In spite of the increasing difficulty in obtaining new cars and the rising maintenance and running costs, the c.:-:Yers have continued to give most splendid service and all County Organizers and Area Transport Officers have worked tirelessly throughout the year.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE. HEADQUARTER TRAI I G COURSES.

The Training Courses held at St. John House have been well attended by the nursing personnel, who have found the instruction received most beneficial. It was a great pleasure to me to visit the training/ holiday camp at Hopton-on-Sea and to have the opportunity of in pecting those attending. The camp, which is delightfully situated, affords excellent amenities and was much enjoyed by officers and members alike. The success of these events has been largely due to Miss Crosbie's enthusiasm and drive and we are all most grateful to her. COUNTY TRAI ING COURSES. Training courses have become annual events in many of the counties and are proving of great value. Mrs. Girouard spoke at the Derbyshire Officers' Course and at the Northern Ireland Course for Nursing and Cadet Divisions at Newcastle, and Miss Harrison at the Buckinghamshire Course. LIAISO WITH GOVER MENT A D OTHER COMMITTEES. The Order/ Brigade is represented on the following Committees by members of Nursing Corps and Divisions : British Council for Rehabilitation .

CHIEF NURSING OFFICER. Miss Hamilton-Wedderburn's appointment as our first Chief Nursing Officer has been warmly welcomed by us all at Headquarters and throughout the Brigade. Very particularly also by her colleagues of the nursing profession. Miss Hamilton-\iVedderburn joined the Brigade as a member of the Westminster Nursing Division in 1931, and served as a V.A.D. in the early years of the war before entering upon her general nursing training. CADETS. Close and happy relations are maintained with the Cadet Department which, under the wise guidance and leadership of Mr. Moir and Miss Cunard, helped by their colleagues throughout the country, is achieving so much.

REPORT OF SUPERINTE DENT-IN-CHIEF.

I have noted with particular pleasure the growing co-operation between the Cadet and Adult Divisions in the counties which is of the greatest importance. A steady flow of Cadets is transferring to the Adult Brigade and we are hopeful that the number will continue to increase each year. CO CLUSIO . H.M. The King was graciously pleased to confer the M.B.E. on Miss Hubbard, County uperintendent for Sussex in the New Year Honours in recognition of her thirty-six years' outstanding service. This Festival year with its increased calls on the nursing personnel has naturally entailed much extra administrative work for the County Superintendents and County Staff Officers. The additional demands upon their time have been readily met and I would like to record my most grateful thanks both to them and to all officers and members of the Nursing Divisions throughout the country for their selfless and outstanding service. pecial mention must be made of the long and devoted service of two of my County uperintendents who have unfortunately ~ad to retire during the year. They are Mrs. Battye, County Supenntendent for \Viltshire, who had completed thirty-eight years' service, sixteen of which were spent in India, and Miss Mayhew, County uperintendent for Bedfordshire, who had served in ussex and London prior to her transfer to Bedfordshire, and has given thirty-six years' service. Both Lady Dunbar-Nasmith and Mrs. Girouard have again made an invaluable contribution to the work of the Brigade and I am greatly indebted to them for their unfailing assistance and support as well as for all their enterprise and energy. Lady Brecknock also has rendered very fine service to the work of the Overseas Department in what has been a particularly busy year. She has received the greatest assistance from Miss Holmes a Court, Staff Officer for Overseas. I and my Deputy and Assistants have had to make heavy calls on the secretarial and clerical staffs and these have been fully and willingly met in a manner which has been most heartening. To Miss Harrison very specially I offer my deepest thanks for her unfailing support a~d excellent leadership. Also for the vast volume of work she has agam undertaken ,¥ith such competence and cheerfulness. The active interest which you, Sir, take in the work of the Nursing Divisions, so many of which you have visited during these last years, is a great encouragement to them all, and I and my colleagues at Headquarters deeply appreciate your understanding and help. \Ve are most grateful too for the co-operation and assistance which we receive from the urgeon-in-Chief and all members of your Headquarter staff, and from the Commissioners throughout the country, to whom I would like to extend my very particular appreciation. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (signed) EDvVINA MOUNTBATTEN OF BURMA, 5 uperintendent-in-C hief.

R EPORT OF THE SURGEON-IN-CHIE F.

20 ST. JOHN HOUSE.

REPORT OF THE SURGEON-IN-CHIEF Sir, I have the honour to submit my report for 1951. The Department has suffered the loss of two great names in First Aid work. Nigel Corbet Fletcher retired at the end of 1950, and was followed by Frank H. Edwards, who took over in January, 1951. Marcus M. Scott, formerly District urgeon of No.1 District, was appointed Deputy Surgeon-in-Chief. The tragic death of Mr. Edwards at the Northern urgeons' Conference in Harrogate on 29th April, left Dr. cott with the whole responsibility for the work of the Surgeon-in-Chiefs Department. On your invitation, I accepted the appointment of urgeon-in-Chief as from St. John's Day, and have therefore been responsible only for the la ter part of the year. Dr. Buchanan (Chief Medical Officer Colonial Office) was appointed Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, and is chiefly responsible for advice regarding our Overseas Surgeons. In the meantime, Dr. Corbet Fletcher was suffering a period of serious ill-health, and died on the 21st December. He commenced his First Aid teaching as long ago as 1908, and became a. Brigade Surgeon in 1916, and urgeon-in-Chief in 1936, a position which he held until his resignation in 1950. He was active in all spheres of First Aid work, and his passing will be deeply mourned by his numberless Brigade friends. SURGEO

s' CONFERE TCES.

The Northern Surgeons' Conference was held in Harrogate on 28th-29th April, and was well attended. The principal speaker was Professor VV. . Craig, University of Leeds, who gave an excellent lecture on Child Welfare. This lecture has since appeared in The St. John R eview. On the night of the 28th Mr. Edwards died suddenly, and the official programme was replaced by informal discussions, arranged by Dr. cott, with the help of County Surgeons attending the Conference. The London Surgeons' Conference was held in the \iValdorf Hotel on 20th-21st October. The principal speaker was Lieut.-General Sir Neil Cantlie, who spoke on " The Origin of Organized First Aid Teaching ", with special reference to the work of his famous father. Mr. Parshall, Director-General of the Association, gave a talk on Civil Defence, with special reference to Brigade Surgeons. At the dinner we were pround to welcome among the guests the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Denys Lowson, the Superintendent-in-Chief, and the Deputy Commissioner-in-Chief. HEADQUARTERS' ACTIVITIES.

In the short period at my disposal I have been able to give a good number of lectures in different parts of the country explanatory on the fortieth edition of our Text Book, and the Deputy Surgeon-in-Chief has likewise addressed conferences in many parts of the country, with a special visit to Birmingham for their annual dinner and conference.

The Department has provided lecturers for many week-end and other conferences at St. John House, and has provided instructors for much of the practical work done there. CASUALTY MAKE-UP.

Special mention should be ~ade of t~e dri~e for casualty make-up training, and the tremendous mterest whi~h thIS. branch of 0.ur work IS evoking throughout the country. We are m .a faIr vyay t.o bemg able to provide Casualty Make-up Units at convement pomts m most of the counties. This is a most important part of our general training, and the interest it is cau ing is most encouraging. COMPETITIONS.

The general conduct of competitions is gradually being: tightened up and Mr. Edwards did much to organize a general standard m the countIes. The publication of the Association boo~ on First A id Competit~ons and Casualty Make-up in the near future, will, I hope, be helpful m every section of competition work. SURGEO .

CIRCULARS.

During the year two urgeons' Circulars were. sent o.ut to every Brig:ade urgeon in the country, the object being to brmg .Bng~de Su~geons mto closer contact with the Department of the Surgeon-m-Chief. It IS proposed to issue them periodically as occasion demands. FIRST AID IN EMERGENCY CHILDBIRTH .

This little pamphlet was written by Mr. Edwards and has supplied a long-felt want in Brigade activities. THE DEPARTMENT.

The development of a central office at H eadquarters is involving a good deal of work, especially in establishing the exact position of Surgeons throughout the Brigade, and bringing the lists fron: counties up to .date. In due course I believe we shall have a true pIcture of the Bngade urgeon and his activities available for any investigation that may be required. . In spite of the greater responsibilities placed on the ordinary doctor and the increasing difficulty of finding spare time for our voluntary work, and in spite of a gradual policy of removing non-active Surge?ns fron: ~he lists, there has been during the year 114 new Surgeons appomted, glvmg a net increase of 64. \iVith the increase of Brigade Surgeons and the advent of a new. Text Book there is a steady improvement in standard throughout the Bngade, and this, in my opinion, is likely to continue. I would like to express my deep appreciation of the kindness of all at Headquarters, and for the great help that I have had from my Deputy, Dr. Scott, my assistant, Dr. Buchanan, and the other two members of my staff, Mr. Milburn and Mr. Howard. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, (signed) A. C. WHITE KNOX, Surgeon-in-G.hief.

22 REPORT OF THE CIDEF OFFICER AMBULANCE CADETS Sir, I have the honour to submit my report of the t. John Ambulance Brigade Ambulance Cadet Divisions for 1931. Seventy new Ambulance Cadet Divisions w re registered, a decrease of only two on last year's record total.

The Assembly discussed the United Nations Declaration of Human RIghts, and \Va addres ed by Mrs. Roosevelt and Madame Pandit. An outstanding feature was the spontaneous demand from delegates from the twelve other Commonwealth territories for closer links with Youth in Great Britain. As a result, the British Committee of \V.A.Y. has established a special Commonwealth Group, of which I am Chairman, one of the tasks of which is to prepare the ground for the launching of a Commonwealth Youth Council at the next \V.A.Y. Council at Dakar in August, 1952. After the Assembly, I was privileged to visit Canada as the guest of the Chief Commissioner and Superintendent-in-Chief.
