AMBULANCE SERVICE.
The fact that people in a position to pay for the use of the St John Free Ambulance service when they requisitioned it, and failed to make any donation, was the subject of a strong letter from Bishop West-Watson read at the meeting of the Appeal Sub-committee of the association last evening. He enclosed a donation of a guinea towards the funds, “ though the knowledge that well-to-do people are ready to use the ambulance and shirk any adequate recognition makes one feel that a good part of any donations will go to help them and not the poor,” he stated. “ I hope that this kind of meanness will be ‘ rubbed in * by the broadcast speeches, and the senses in which the ambulances are meant to be free explained clearly.”
