    The Meals-On-'.Vheels service, organised by the W.V.S. , will enlarge its facilities when a kitchen at Church House, Hiarson Road, is in operation, providing about 200 meals per, week, compared with about 132 meals per week as at present. Tlie Red Gross Medical Loan Depot and Food Service continues good service and much voluntary work has been done by raeabers of the St, John Ambulance Brigade. When the proposed new and larger Aabulaiice Station for this area is built at Nailsea, tlie Clevedon Station will close, I accept this inevitable development with regret and hope that recruitment to.the St. John organisation here will not be lessened by the future move.
