SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

i The St. John Ambulanca Brigade. • Thero' was aa attendance of over 80 as a meeting of tho Wellington Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigado hold on Monday night, when, tho following proposals were brought forward by the Deputy Commissioner:— (a) That an eii'ort should be made to raise a sum of money which could ho remitted to tho headquarters, of the Brigado Ovorseas at St. John's Gate for the purchase of ambulance and hospital stores for. use in connection with the troops on active service. (b) That members of, nursing divisions and the lady friends of members of both ambulance and nursing divisions'' should give their services in the preparation of articles of clothing for tho uso .of tho poor and destitute, and that such articles should be forwarded to St. John's Gate as a contribution from the brigade in this Dominion. . After considerable discussion, it was decided, in view of the probable,urgent need for assistanco amongst our own poor, \ that it was not advisable to send contributions out of tho Dominion. There, was no lack of enthusiasm or offers to assist in this direction by the lady, members present, but at the same time the feeling- was' ventilated ,that the St. John Ambulance Brigade' had not been properly treated by the Defence pcopls in tho preaonfc crisis.. In fact, it was felt they bad been ignored altogether by the Department, and such work as the providing and filling of ambulance hampers . 'and chests was given to private persons—this in face of the fact that the brigade was accopted as a section of the, National Reserve. Feildirig Notes.
