R.A.P.

rhe R.A.P. which stands, incidentally for Regimental Aid Post (nnl. Rest and Peace) can now guarantee treatment to all comers in almost waterproof conditions. I t boasts an IP. . tent, electric light, half a floor and an R.A.P. sign (as yet unhung). The personnel are always on the spot and will guarantee free attention to the needy and boot to the not-so-needy and those that come out of hours. For those that do not already know, the R.A.P. is situated within a few yards of the YAL.C.A. This is not purely for" the benefit, of the M. 0., nor is the ‘ R.A.P. to be regarded as a form of parasitic outgrowth from the Y.M.C.A. even if the occupants of the former are frequently seen behind the counter of the latter. !It might also be noted that the ’.R.A.P. is placed on the windward side of the Y.M.C.A. and all past berieficients are invited to attend should a gale spring up. The regimental ambulance is always available for any patients requiring urgent transport. We can guarantee that at least two-thirds of the patient and stretcher will be inside F" . even if his Tegs and pair of stretched - files stick out behind. FinallylWt it be noted that the R.A.P. is imreasing daily and, although it cam at present only deal with lumps, bumps and bruises, it ! looks forward to the day when major surgery may be performed - beneath its quaking canopy. —Signed R.A.P.
