RED CROSS AND ST. JOHN. ! i CO-ORDINATION OP WORK. \ A further conference of delegates from j the Dominion Council of tho New Zea- ! land branch of the British Red Cross 1 and tho ambulance branch of the Order of St. John, of Jerusalem in New Zealand, was held at the Red Cross rooms, Dixon street, yesterday. The hon. Dr. Collins presided, and the delegates present wore: —For the Red Cross, Mi* 1* Munt, Lady. Luke, Mrs W. Nathan, Mrs Martin. (Martinbo rough), Mr L. O. H. Tripp (Wellington), Mrs A. Roberts i (Dunedin); for St. John Ambulance, Mr H. Seed (Deputy Commissioner), Mr Bich&rdsoir tf Hisfc Riobieson and Mr ■ Preston (WeMinigton),. Mr Rattray (Auck- ( land). Apologies were received from Sir Heaton Rhodes, Mr Fletcher (Christchurch), and Mr Robertson (Dunedin). The meeting was called, the chairman explained, to consider a draft agreement drawn up to define the peace time work of a joint council of the Red Cioss and Order of St. John in Now Zealand. As long ago as January, 1920, at a meeting of the St. John Ambulance delegates in Christchurch, it had been suggested that the Dominion executives of the two bodies should meet and endeavour_ to form a basis of Red Cross work in New Zealand and prevent overlapping. Sub- s sebuently endeavours had beep mado towards forming a joint council to determine the peace time activities and work conjointly, and a joint meeting of delegates from tho New Zealand Red Cross and Order of St. John had been held in November, 1921. At this meeting it had been agreed to form the joint council if an agreement could be reached, and it had been decided that a draft, agreement be drawn up and submitted to the branches. This had been done. Replies had been received from Auckland and Dunedin Ambulance Associations approving the agreement as drafted .(with some slight amendments). The reply from Christchurch had bean, that that centre was not prepared to take any further opinion in the matter until the proposed agreement had - been submitted to the authorities at, St. John's Cate, London, and their opinion obtained. Mr H. H. Seed, Deputy Commissioner St. John Ambulance Brigade, said that St. John's Gate had been* communicated With to obtain permission to sign the agreement, and the reply had been made that such permission could not be granted until a copy of the agreement had been forwarded for consideration. Mr Seed explained that , there was no authority in New Zealand able to sign on . behalf of the Order of St. John as only the ambulance branch of the Order was established here. An endeavour to form a priory and secure registration was now being made. ‘ , Dr Collins then read a letter from Mr Edwards, secretary of the Grand Priory of the Order of the Hospital of. St. John of Jerusalem, in England, in which it was stated that the attention of the council was called, to the. words . at the head of .the report r 'of the. Red , i Cross, wherein it was called tlie 'New ’ Zealand Branch of the British Red Cross and Order of St. John (Incorporated). While it wa© appreciated that such may have been necessary during the war, it was pointed l out that the Order of St. John could not be thus incorporated as a branch of the Red Cross, each holding charters, and such registration not being in accordance with the relations, of the Order with the society, and would lead to misapprehension i.h .the, minds. 6$ the pub-, lie. The things, effective working for the objects of tie Order, and, as far as possible, consistency of organisation throughout the overseas branches, which, might be prejudiced if the New Zealand Dranch were incorporated in a, manner and under a title contrary .to the joint arrangements under which* the Order of St. John works in harmony with the British Red Cross/' • Mr Roberts moved: "That this conference, is of opinion that steps, should be taken immediately to. 'remove the * words, 'and . the . Oi;aer of St. John/ from the title of the incorporated Red Cross Society/' Mr Tripp seconded the motion, pointing out that, the great object of both .bodies was the most effective means of working 14 for the good of humanity. He disagreed with the draft agreement, as it seemed to prevent the Red Cross from, activity, and there were many Red Cross workers who were willing and able /to continue the good work- . : Mrs Preston -pointed out that the use of the name of the Order by the Red Cross Society had long been against the wished of members of St; John Am* bulance. The motion was carried. On the motion of the chairman, it Was decided that consideration of the draft agreement be adjourned until application be made to have the name altered as suggested. ' Mr Richardson suggested that before the next conference tke Red Cross take steps to have its work defined- in the agreement, the work of St. John Ambulance being already defined.—This was agreed to.

FOR THE MEMORIAL CHAPEL. Mrs Sprott held an afternoon at Bishopscourt, Mulgrave street, yesterday in aid of the Memorial Chapel, halfcrown fund, which was most successful. A very large number of guests were present, many from the suburbs, as well ‘ Wellington, and all were interested j in hearing what the- Rev. Askew had to say about the proposed l#unorial Chapel. So many attended that the address Lad

to be given twice over, as everyone could not hear it at once, owing to lack of space. Mr Askew spoke of the chapel, and showed photographs of its proposed style, and also a large number of beautiful flags and trophies which had been sent from many notable people, including generals of the Allied Armies, to uecorate the chapel. Afternoon tea was served in the diningroom, Mrs Coleridge being in charge, while in the hall Miss Brandon and Mrs Larnach had a stall for flowers, which added about J 56 to the fund. Beautiful flowers had been sent from the country for the purpose. Altogether about .£l7 was the result of the afternoon., A quantity of produce and flowers are being sent to Wellington on Friday, which will be sold for the same fund either at a street stall or a shop, if such can be secured.
