APRIL 25, 1935. FLIGHT. 447 THE OYAL SERVICE NOTES AND NEWS IR FORCE AIR MINISTRY ANNOUNCEMENTS FINE PHYSIQUE Airmen at Uxbridge practising for their display at the Royal Tournament at Olympia, which will be held from May 9 to 25. PERMANENT COMMISSIONS FOR SHORT SERVICE OFFICERS (MEDICAL BRANCH) The.Air Council have decided to adopt the following procedure in connection with the appointment of short service officers of the medical branch to permanent commissions. The grant of such com missions will be by selection, an average of six vacancies being offered each year. Selections will be made twice yearly, in May and November, and the normal zone for consideration will be during an officer's second year of service. In this way the qualifications of each officer, will be balanced against those of his contemporaries so as to secure a strictly equitable consideration of the merits of all the competitors. To be eligible for consideration, officers must be fit for full duty at home and abroad, and must, on April 1 or October 1 prior to the date on which the recommendations are due, have completed not less than one or more than two years' service. After consultation with their principal medical officers, A.O's.C. will furnish to the Air Ministry by May 15 and November 15 each year a report on all eligible medical officers holding short service commis sions, stating in each case whether or not the officers are recom mended as suitable for selection. Appointments to permanent com missions will be effected as from the date of expiry of the active list periods of the officers' short service commissions. SILVER JUBILEE HOLIDAY It has been decided that Monday, May 6, 1935, shall be observed as an additional public holiday. Civilians employed under the Air Ministry are therefore to be given a paid holiday on that day, and any who are required, owing to the exigencies of the service, to work on that day, should be granted a day off in lieu subsequently. Normally, civilians casually employed are not allowed pay for a public holiday unless they have completed six months' continuous service at the date of the holiday. It has been decided that that requirement shall be waived in connection with the Silver Jubilee Holiday.
