Souttar and Sir Girling Ball vice-presidents. Mr. Vivian Greenish was elected a member of the board of examiners in dental surgery for three years.

Oldham, coccygeal sinus ; Dr. J. F. Brailsford, plasticity of bone ; Mr. T. Holmes Sellors, constrictive pericarditis; Mr. T. M. Tyrrell, surgery of the lacrimal sac ; Dr. R. B. Zachary, factors influencing recovery after nerve suture. ’ Arris and Gale lecturers.-Dr. N. M. Goodman, supply of subjects for dissection; and Dr. Herbert Haxton, the function of the patella ; and the anatomy of progression. Erasmus Wilson demonstrators.-Mr. L. E. C. Norbury, Mr. R. Davies-Colley, Mr. C. E. Shattock, and Surgeon Rear-Admiral C. P. G. Wakeley. Arnott demonstrator.—Prof. A. J. E. Cave. The fourteenth Macloghlin scholarship was awarded to Michael Hatton of Epsom College. A diploma of fellowship was granted to Arthur Martin Lindsay Smith, MB MANC. The following diplomas were also granted jointly with the Royal College of Physicians : DPH.-David Hewspear, A. S. Hoseason, Joyce B. M. Mayes, and S. J. Sutton. DPM.—Charles Anderson, H. M. Cohn, D. L. Davies, Wilhelmina L. Devlin, Elizabeth P. Dodds, H. M. James, Joan E. Mackworth, and R. R. Prewer. DLO.-J. C. Liddle, P. S. Meyrick, and C. P. Williams. Medical Honours The awards made on the occasion of the King’s visit to North Africa and Malta included the appoiritment of Major J. S. Richardson, MRCP, RAMC, to MVO (fourth class). The King has given permission to Prof. Sydney Smith and Lieut.-Colonel F. A. F. Crew, FRS, to wear the order of Polonia Restituta (third class) which has been conferred on them by the President of the Republic of Poland. Free Training for Occupational Therapy Weaving, rug-making, knitting, basketry, toy-making and other handicrafts are now taught in hospitals as part of the rehabilitation of the sick and wounded. As there is a shortage of women instructors the Ministry of Health is offering, free of charge, short training courses which will qualify for salaried posts in hospitals. Applicants should have a knowledge of craft work, nursing or massage, or hold degrees in social science, comparative anatomy or psychology. Courses are-also offered to women of school certificate standard without special qualifications, to act as auxiliaries. The .first course will be held at the Dorset House school of occupational therapy, Barnsley Hall Emergency Hospital, Bromsgrove, Worcs, on July 19 and another on Sept. 13. Particulars from the principal at the school. Concessions to Maternity Besides a baby, the expectant mother after July 25 may expect rather more milk (7 pints priority as well as the non-priority allowance), more eggs (fewer in their shells and more dried) and an additional half meat-ration every week, as well as the same share of oranges, when there are any, as her children. Her allowance of vitamins is unchanged. The newborn baby can no longer hope for sweets or chocolates during his first six months of life, a blow which will fall less heavily on him than on his expectant siblings. The process by which the mother comes by her extra rations has also been simplified. She will be entitled, as before, to 60 supplementary clothing coupons for herself and a clothing ration for her child as soon as he is born ; but in future the Board of Trade will not insist that the pregnancy must have advanced beyond the fourth month before the certificate entitling the mother to clothing coupons can be accepted. Medical Sickness, Annuity and Life Assurance Society The annual meeting was held on June 28. Mr. R. J. McNeill Love, chairman of directors, said that the new business in the life assurance fund had increased from £141,000 to .6267,000, and the total of this fund now stood at over one and a half million. All policies for life assurance effected since the outbreak of war bore an exclusion agreed upon by the Life Offices Association that in claims directly or indirectly due to the war the sum assured should not be paid, but the premiums shoulct be returned. The words " indirectly due to war," however, had opened up such a wide field of con- jecture and discussion that the directors had decided in principle that claims directly due to enemy action should follow the exclusion but that all other claims should be paid in full so far as the funds of the society’allowed. Speaking of the discussions now taking place on the Beveridge report, the chairman said that the pr6posed aboli-- tion of private practice as at present carried out and the transformation of doctors from the complete freedom they had always enjoyed to the restricted activities of salaried civil servants opened up a startling prospect. What was to happen, he asked, to the capital of thousands of doctors which had been invested in the purchase of a practice or a share in a partnership ? Mr. McNeill Love and Surgeon Rear-Admiral C. P. G. Wakeley were re-elected directors. Socialist Medical Association Six lectures on industrial health are to be given at the London School of Hygiene, Keppel Street, W.C.1, at 6 PM on successive Wednesdays, beginning on July 21 when Dr. T. 0. Garland will open the series with an historical introduction. The other lecturers are : Dr. Donald Stewart, housekeeping in the factories ; Dr. E. L. Middleton, common hazards and their control; Dr. Hugh Faulkner, accidents and rehabilitation ; Dr. R. S. F. Schilling, industrial medicine as a career; and Dr. Joan McMichael, organising for health on the job.
