London Jan 4, The Minister of Health in his presidential address at the annual conference of educational associa tions in London referred to number of health schemes which would come into operation in the new year.

Tribute To Bathurst Boy Scouts

Mr. Alfred C. Bossom, M.P. for Maidstone, has presented a challenge shield to the Boy Scouts of Bathurst, Gambia.

The shield is a handsome' plece of work and was recently aç- cepted on behalf of the Bathurst Scouts by Mr. Ormsby Gore. Becretary of State for the Colonies.

nurse.

Progress had already been made with the Blinde Persons Bill, which It was hoped to pass into law soon after Parliament reassembled on February 1. The Act would reduce the age at which pensions could be paid to blind persons under the Old Age Pensions Act from 50 to, 40 years. It would also provide that financial assistance to blind persons in their homes should be given exclusively under the Blind Persons Act and not under the Poor Law.

"I hope that you, will have Jolly good competitions to show which is the best Troop, and I shall be glad to hear later on who is the winner."

Mr. Bossom made a similar award to the Scouts, of Sierra Leone in 1935. While on a visit to Blerra Leone he was sa impressed by the behaviour, work and courtesy of the Scouts that he promised to challenge present them
