    The Revd. P. H. G. Tak has succeded the Revd. C. P. Crawford as Roman Catholic Chaplain and the Committee offer him a cordial welcome. At the end of the year a final decision with regard to the future of the Graylingwell Hospital Farm was yet to be made, but there appears to be no doubt that the Management Committee will cease farming operations in the near future. In the meantime, the Farm has continued its usual efficient manner and all concerned in the management of the Shorthorn Dairy Herd are to be congratulated on the successes which it has achieved. Each year an increasing number of people interest themselves in the work of the Hospital and the welfare of the patients and the Committee are exceedingly grateful to the many who have assisted in different ways. Thanks are especially due to the several amateur societies who have entertained the patients with their productions, to the members of the Women’s Voluntary Services who act as Librarians, serve refreshments to patients’ visitors and help in various other ways, while a special word of thanks is due to one lady who, with the help of her friends, regularly entertains parties of long- stay patients in her own home. The Committee are also deeply appreciative of the gifts received through the medium of the League of Friends of the Chichester Hospitals and they have welcomed the formation of a League of Friends of Graylingwell Hospital which operates in the Worthing district. The latter Society owes its inception to the efforts and enthusiasm of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. S. Naunton and the Committee are indeed grateful to them. The Committee sincerely hope that both Leagues will prosper and they commend them whole-heartedly to all who wrould like to give practical help. Finally, the Committee desire to express their deep apprecia¬ tion of the services which have been rendered by the Medical Superintendent and all the Officers and staff throughout an exceptionally busy year. Signed on behalf of the Hospital Management Committee at a meeting held on the 28th day of June, 1956. ANDREW CAIRNS, Chairman.
