It is with sincere regret that two resignations from the Active Medical Staff have to be recorded. Mr. B. A. Slocombe, Honorary Surgeon. Mr. Slocombe joined the staff as an Assistant Surgeon in li925 and in 11940 was elected Honorary Surgeon. At all times Mr. Slocombe gave generously of his time and skill on behalf of the patients, and in addition to his professional duties, took a lively interest in the administration of the hospital. Mr. R. M. Hill, Assistant Surgeon, from h93i4, resigned from the staff on leaving the district to take up an important appointment in Carlisle. Mr. Hill devoted himself with enthusiasm to his hospital duties and his departure is a loss, not only to the hospital, but to the district. The Board deplore the loss of the services of these two gentle¬ men, but it is gratifying that their association with the hospital is not entirely severed, as the Board, as a token of esteem, and in recognition of their work, elected Mr. Slocombe and Mr. Hill members of the Honorary Consulting Staff. A cordial welcome is extended to the following new members of the staff:—* Honorary Physician—Dr. G. R. Wightman, M.B., Ch.B. (Edin.). Radiologist—Dr. B. S. Mannheimer, M.D. (Prague), D.M.R. (Eng.)
