Acting-Lieutenant Thomas Lloyd Wil- liams, R.N.R., on a charge arising out of tne stranding of H.M.S. "Convolvulus" off Belfast Lougn on January 31st.

NEED OF KURSES AT HOLYHEAD. PROPOSED NEW ASSOCIATIO-N: I Convened by the local medical pnwti-. fcjonera a largely attended meetiag of the various local Associations in BCalyhisad waa hfid at the Market Caic on Tuesday nigilit, and presided over by Dr. Fox RuaselL Chairman explained that hiis col- leagues and himself had called tie meeting for tha purpose of enlisting their eoi- opil &nd support in the matter of tiecuring- more trained nursea for the town. There waa undoubtedly a shortage of trained nurses-, particularly maternity nUle.s. and after very careful consideration they had come to the conclu- sion that the time had aJrriT«d w hen nome- thing ought to be done to supply a long- felt want. As was krsown there existed m. the town the North- Western Nursing; AJISO- ciation, which had for some years done exceedingly good work and wits very happy in having two of the bast nurses who coaid be found in the whole of Wales (Cheers). The Queen's Nursing- As-ociar iion bid also for the past 24 years done noble work. It was not intended that the proposed new Aesoeiaion should in any way behost2c td the exktizxs Aseoamtihas,. wig he looked forward to &b? tme w?? all would work amicafcfy together. It was felt that more nucsea were urgently requiredt and that they should be run by. a committee elected frCan the different orsganisation* in the town, each organisa.- tiOlD. to have h deJegata on the committee. They wanted the new Association to be affiliated to the Queen. Victoria Jubilee Institute for Nurses. Tfie present nurses were over-worked, and why should they be for the sake óf the expenditure of a 1;106 or S200 a year (he&r, hear). As it was the present nories were not proper- ly paid, and they wanted and deserved more money. There was & serious short- ago of fully qualified trained maternity nunses. Dr. T. W. Clay. J.P., medical officer of health, in supporting', said that although Holyhead bad a population of over. 11,000 there was only one nurse whom they could claim. Poreonally he believed in nurses more than he dLd in doctors; he would prefer to trust himeelf to a nunrse without a doctor than to a doctor without a nursa. The present rate of infantile laorality-in England and Wales was a disgrace to civilisation. In 1917, out of every 1000 children borne, 91 died—one out of every ten—from neglect in feeding. They did not neglect looking after the soule of the people; there were 16 places of worship in the town which entailed a cost of about je500 annually. Surely they could find this amount for the purpose of looking after the bodies of the people, because if they looked after the bodiee of the people they would not go far wrong spiritually (cheers). On the motion of the Rer. Father by Mr H. P. Hum- phreye, it was unanimously decided to form a Holyhead Nursing Association, and that each of the various looal qrniltions be asked to a/pjpoint its dolqgate on tiie Execu- tive Comjn;titeo.
