Up to the end of the year, approximately 500 cases were
on the records of the Association, and at the time of writing it
is estimated that the number of persons on the register has
increased to 700.
The Association's sphere of activity embraces seaside
holidays, two luncheon clubs, domiciliary meals to the needy,
and social visitation on a very large scale.
It is fully expected that the expansion that has already
taken place will be followed during the next few years by
further expansion and the numbers on the register will
undoubtedly continue to increase.

leave and illness and in 1951 247 examinations were made.
