The results of their labour are embodied in an excellent report which is lucid and comprehensive. It touches on all aspects of the medical services of these islands, including such items as nursing, amenities for chronic patients, suitability of buildings used as hospitals, finance, distribution of drugs and a number of other questions. It is the purpose of this article to present to the public a simplified account of this report.

Each of the 53 theatres in the Island shows a new programme every day - in 1956 alone 466 films have been exhibited - and as demand is in excess of supply, everything available in the· market is thrown in, old and new, and thus the quality of film exhibition is sometimes poor. In spite of this fact the audience that pays to go to, the cinema is the largest of any other recreational entertainment, and as many as six million tickets are sold each year. Entrance fees are low, patrons paying 1/6d. and 2/6d. for ordinary films and 1/8d. and 2/8d. for Cinema-scope and allied wide-screen exhibitions.
