That is, when the Hospital abulance is out on call, or is under repair. It is however, to be distinct• ly understood that it is only the Mobile Unit which is loaned .and that the charges made by the Hospital for its use are credited to the Hospital in toto and not to St. John. Further- more, because St. John by its charter., does not make any charge for the services of its trained personnel, the entire responsibility for the use and the manning of this Unit when on Hospital duty, rests with the Hospital administration. The Brigade retains prior right to its own use of the Unit when it gives its volun., tary services at hockey, soccer, trottingsir drag rape meetings, and it isonly when carrying `out their prescribed service that its members appear in uniform. When St. John loans .. , mobile unit to the hospital, it contributes a service to the community as a whole, to the ' county, the town and to the individual. It is service which St. John is more .than pleased to provide. Under the above circumstances the Hospital ad. ministration undertakes full re- sponsibility for the Unit's per- formance and for its manning; the latter being done with Hos. pital employees, insureby the Hospital. In the past 12 months the St. AUTO INSURANCE See or Phone MALCOtM--MATHERS GENERAL INSURANCE AGENT 46 WEST' ST. 524-9442 John unit t as4been requisitioned by the hospital on eleven oc. casions. Six of the a were for local calls, with i the town limits, On the other five calls, some 270 miles were covered, some being outside the county limits. It is appropriate to point out that since the hospital supports but one ambulance, the loan of the St. John mobile unit fulfils a need which, when MIS filled, 'may be of 'vital interest to atly and every citizen of Goderich. Now to turn to the work of the Brigade, composed of some 22 men and women, ,all of whom requalify themselves in First. Aid each year. Over the past year then Junior 'BP -Or 'C' hockey games have been ser- viced. For Young Canada Week, 408 man .hours were put in. Ten soccer games were at. tended and seven horse racing meetings. In addition, the C en. tennial Caravan was service for whole days at, Goderich; Wing. ham, Seaforth and Exeter, while 'all the Sunday drag race meet•• ings at Grand Bend throughout the summer were attended. • Apart from such considerable donations of skill and dire, the Brigade's instructors' have trained in Home Nursing and First,-A4d, classes for industry. to comply - with the Ontario Workmen's Compensation, Act,• which requires every employer 'of five or more persons to have at least one trained in First. Aid. Classes have been and are being held for the personnel of the Ontario Hospital. In all,. some 73 persons have been trained and qualified to date this year. During the year your dona- tions have enabled the provi- sion for the members of the, Brigade of warm winter over. coats for use at their many outdoor occasions. • Int the face of .such a record of free. voluntary service, it is felt that many more of the Peopleza—Godiftrich-tlattIrsTiaw their pride in the self-sacrifice and devotion proffered them by the members of the Goderich Brigade. Yet, on the face of it, only 200. people, out of the whole town, feel it worth their while to support. a service aihich,• hey_ themselves might need, and need desperately, should acct. dent befall • them; S t.

' The Most Venerable Order of St. John was founded thirteen hundred, and sixty-seven years ago "Fox the Service of Man• kind". It has survived .because its high ideal is to promote works of humanity and charity for the relief of persons in sickness, distress, suffering and danger, without distinction of race, class, or creed. Abbot Probus, who set up the f'i'st hostel for" pilgrims so long ago, seems perhaps, a dim shadow today, yet the selfless 'service' which he initiated lives on to. day - even in Goderich - as you may witness each time you meet the back and silver uni. form.
