St. John Ambulance Brigade.
Mr. V. G. Turner, Divisional Superintendent, kindly contributes
the following report: —
"As more members have now returned from the Forces, we
are getting back to normal. Duties have been covered, such as
football, theatres, boxing, etc., and a good many cases have been
treated. Some members are still assisting as orderlies on the
Municipal Ambulances, and we hope to do better with these duties
in the coming year. We held one first aid class for the general
public, with very good results, and we shall carry on with these
classes if there is any demand. The competition spirit is again
coming forward, and there are two teams in training for an interdivisional
competition which is being held in January, 1947."
