THE ROYAL AIR FORCE BENEVOLENT FUND THE first Council Meeting of the year was held at the offices of the Fund,on Tuesday, March 13, Sir Charles McLeod, Bart, Chairman and Honorary Treasurer, was in the Chair. The usual financial resolutions were carried.The Council were informed that Grants to the amount of £3,001 18s. 7d., had been disbursed since the last meeting on December 6, 1933.The Auditors' accounts for the year 1933 were approved by the Council and note was taken of the fact that for the first time in the history of theFund demands had been so great that expenditure had overtaken income. The possibility of this had already been anticipated and in spite of the grantsexpenditure being high, it actually represented a drastic cutting of grants. Whilst the Council recognize the necessity for reducing grants as an imme-diate necessity, they have under consideration the urgent need for increasing the income of the Fund and the steps that must be taken to enable grantsto be given commensurate with distress and to place the Fund on a sound foundation for the future. The demand upon the Fund has been steadilygrowing and has always failed to reflect any temporary improvement in tbe- labour market. The reason for this steady increase can be attributed to thefact that the Fund serves the Fighting Service on which a special call is made in peace time, as well as in war and the cases which must be a firstcharge on this Fund are accumulative and likely to be so for an indefinite period. The Council are of opinion that if the general public realised what theR.A.F. Benevolent Fund was called upon to do in helping the disabled and the dependents of those who have given valuable flying service, not onlyin war but in peace, very generous assistance would be afforded. The next meeting was fixed for Wednesday, May 23, 1934, at the offices of the Fund, at 3 p.m. Transfer of Officers to the ReserveTHE undermentioned short-service officers should note that they become due on the dates stated for transfer to the reserve, or (where indicated) for relinquishment of commission, on completing their period of service on the active list:— AUGUST-SEPTEMBER, 1934 Flying Officers :—'George Simpson Coleman, 'Hugh Oswald Woodhouse(Aug. 12), Ralph Bagshaw Abraham, Adam Carter Bailey, John Langton Courtenay Banks, David Barclay, Ronald Joseph Cohen, Norris Kirkham.Reuben Michael Noblston, William Joseph Scott, Graham Robertson Stroud, Leslie Watson, Ralph Leonard West (Aug. 15), John Croft Atkins, EdwardPoole (Aug. 16), George Edward Bowes Stoney, Kenneth Maxwell Cass, Herbert Roy Clay, Geoffrey Good Dixon, Douglas Walter Harman Heath,Hugh de Montmorency Middleton, Reginald John Parkhouse, Alfred Clayton Richardson (Aug. 30), tHarold George Adams, Sidney Horace Bell, DerekPierre Aumale Boitel-Gill, Lawrence Edward Chiswell, George Byrne Stanis- laus Coleman, Cecil Rhys Davies, John Llewellyn Mapletoft Davys, StephenWilliam Huntley Egan, John Stewart Hamilton, Clifford James Hansford, fLaurence Mayleston Hooker, Laurence Rayson Mouatt, Eric EdwardNoddings, Robert Clive Parker.
