    Huddersfield Royal Infirmary Report of the Board of Management 1338. To The Governors, The Board of Management has pleasure in submitting to the Governors the One Hundred and Seventh Annual Report of the Infirmary. BUSINESS DEALT WITH BY THE BOARD, December 31st, 1938, marked the end of the first full year's working of the Contributory Scheme and your Board records with gratitude and satisfaction that its confidence in the success of the project has proved well-founded. For the whole year the sum of ^20,718 was passed to the Infirmary funds by the Executive Committee of the Scheme— further reference to this will be made later in the Report. The thanks of the Board are given sincerely to the Scheme Committee, its officials, the many voluntary helpers and most important of all, the contributors themselves for the organisation and standardisation of income from this source. The knock-out competition promoted by the Golf Clubs for the Cup which was generously given b}^ Mr. Lawrence Crowther last year, resulted in ^44 17s. 6d. being credited to the General Account. Your Board expresses its gratitude to all those who have helped to make this first event a success and hopes the competition will go from strength to strength. The Rover Scouts, the Huddersfield Branch of Toe H, and many volunteers have once more done great service in the provision of donors for blood transfusions and your Board is very grateful for this generous help. Despite the good work done by these Associations and volunteers, the Infirmary list of donors still requires extension in order to meet the demands made upon it and your Board asks the public to co-operate in this vital service. The Huddersfield Law Society has again given invaluable help in difficult cases falling under the Road Traffic Act and the Hospital has received payment in many cases only due to the good offices of the Society. Your Board’s thanks are very freely given for the Society’s gratuitous assistance. Plans for the provision of a New Maternity Wing have been considered and it is hoped to commence operations at an early date. Your Board places on record its appreciation of the kind services of the Press. The Proprietors of the Huddersfield “ Examiner ” particularly, have been ever ready to assist in any way they can and to co-operate in all your Board’s endeavours.
