REPORT OF QUINCY HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION
To the Superintendent and Board of Managers.
The Quincy Hospital Aid Association has met regularly to sew in the Recreation Room at the Nurses' Home. In spite of a rather small average attendance, enough sewing has been accomplished to justify our continued existence.
We have also supplied the Nurses' Home with several current magazines, as well as several for distribution in the wards by the hospital librarian.
As has always been the custom, we presented the graduating class with their class pins.
Many church organizations have helped in our sewing. Also many individuals who are not able to attend the meetings, but are glad to sew at home.
We have alternated with the Wollaston Hospital Aid in provid- ing afternoon teas for the nurses. We intend to have one every month during the season. This year several have had to be omitted owing to much sickness.
Respectfully submitted,
SUSANNE CLARK BRESLYN, President.

To the Superintendent and Board of Managers.
On the first Thursday of each month from October to June the Wollaston Branch Hospital Aid Association held regular meetings in the Community Room of the Wollaston Branch Public Library, the purpose of these meetings being to sew for the Quincy Hospital.
As the membership is small, our activities are limited.
Respectfully submitted, MRS. FRANK CROFTS, President.

Conclusion
The Department has been particularly unfortunate the past year in the loss by deaths of two active members and one who had been retired on pension.
Sergeant James McNamara, who had been a member of the De- partment since 1910, Patrolman Patrick Coyne with 11 years of service, and Inspector John T. Larkin, retired after 25 years as a member of the Department, passed away during the year.
All of these men had been good, faithful, efficient police officers, and in their deaths the Police Department has suffered a very dis- tinct loss.
Radio has become a very valuable aid to police work and its use is being rapidly extended. Through the kindness of the members of the South Shore Amateur Radio Club I was able to make some very interesting tests of the use of radio in police cars. The mem- bers of the Club installed two transmitters at Police Headquarters and messages were sent out from them to two radio-equipped police cars. These cars were driven through the various sections of Quincy, Braintree, Milton, Weymouth and Hingham and no "dead spots," so called, were discovered, reception being perfect in all parts of these communities.
A hook-up of these towns, and possibly others, with a transmitter located at the Quincy Police Station would be very valuable to the police of all these places, and with the cost of installation and maintenance shared between them the expense would not be great.
I am aware that under present conditions it probably will not be possible to go ahead with this at present, but I sincerely hope that this matter will be given serious consideration as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST H. BISHOP, Chief of Police.
