Mr Wood mentioned that at the instigation of the late Mr Cecil Duff, who was a member of the Hawke's Bay I-Iospital Board and also of tlie executive of the St, John Ambulance, a number of tlie members of tho brigade voluntarily acted as donors. On several occasions in tlie past tliey had given blood-transfusions. •- "Now that the Hospitai Board has made an appeal to ,the public for volunteers for the service," said Mr Wood, "it will be necssary. to place the arrangements for the service on a more official basis. "The brigade is perfectly willing to undertake this organisation," he added, "and direct the service in Hastings. Proposals alohg these lines are now being preparcd and will very shortly be placed before tlie Hawke's Bay Hospital Board for considerafcioa."
