Norwood in establishing the Free Ambulance and to the work of the ladies' iquriliary'vlrider Mrs. Norwood. The flag, he said, was the production of three members of the Victoria Bowling Club. Others amongst the many present who paid tribute to the work of the Free Ambulance were the Minister of Health, iHon. J. A. Young, Mr. J. S. Keith, and Mr. C. M.

Mr. Norwood, who subsequently hoisted the flag, Mrs. Norwood unfurling it, thanked 2YA for broadcasting the ceremony, as it was impossible, he said, to send invitations to all supporters of the service.
