    The death of Dr. A. A. Straton by enemy action was a sad blow to everyone connected with the Hospital : since his retirement from the Honorary Medical Staff he had kindly acted as Honorary Surgeon to the Out-patients’ Surgical clinic thereby rendering great assistance to the already depleted Staff : he was elected a Member of the Committee in 1942. « The Committee desire to convey their grateful thanks to all the Staff for their efficient services : the House Surgeon and House Physician retire after an appointment of six months : there have been no other changes in the Staff calling for special mention during the year. The Dr. R. N. Aston Memorial Samaritan fund has been a great help to those Patients who were not able to pay for appliances ordered for them : the balance to the credit of this account at the end of the year was £203 ns. id. The Committee are most grateful to all who have helped by their voluntary contributions of money and gifts in kind : to all who have helped with the work of the Contributory Scheme, and to the Press for their kind assistance. \ ' The following Members of Committee retire under Rule 24 % Mrs. Perrott, J.P., Sir Henry Sweetman, J.P., Mr. J. B. Alderslade, Miss Waistell, The Rev. H. M. Humphery, The Hon : Mrs. Wilson- Heathcote, and Mr. S. R. Bird : other vacancies are caused by the death of Dr. A. A. Straton, and of Mr. Vincent Feesey. Any Governor, whose consent has been obtained, may be nominated for election by another Governor in writing duly signed and given to the Secretary not later than Saturday, March nth. Signed on behalf of the Committee, AUBREY A. H. WYKEHAM, Chairman.
