representing all sub-departments. The trophy was eventually won by the Waterworks "A" team but only by a very narrow margin from the Electrical and Mechanical "B" team. The introduction of this competition resulted in the two "rest-rooms" at Headquarters where all the games were played being fully used during the season.
329. The "Littlejohn" golf trophy which was also competed for, for the first time during the year was won by Mr. W. W. C. Shewan who defeated Mr. J. C. Brown in the final. Mr. Shewan, Assistant Director (Buildings) who proceeded on retirement in January, 1956, also presented a trophy for annual competition amongst the golfing members of the Department and arrangements for this competition were in hand at the end of the year.
330. Welfare Officers. The Headquarters' Directorate and heads of all sub-departments continued to make themselves readily available to all members of the staff who considered they were in need of advice or assistance either in their official or private lives.
APPRECIATION
331. The year has been again one of record expenditure and I wish to express my sincere thanks to all members of the department for their loyal and untiring service.
9th July, 1956.
THEODORE L. BOWRING, C.M.G., O.B.E.,
