301 NOTES AND NEWS Notes and News ROYAL MEDICAL BENEVOLENT FUND AT the annual meeting of the Fund on July 28, Lord Webb- Johnson was re-elected president, Mr. F. A. Juler hon. treasurer, and Dr. Reginald Cove-Smith hon. secretary. Mr. R. H. Boggon and Dr. W. D. W. Brooks were elected to the committee of management as new members. The accounts for the year show that expenditure exceeded the Fund’s income of £49,000 by £2200 in grants and annuities. This deficit was met from the capital account, which now amounts to nearly £500,000. Dr. Cove-Smith in his report regretted that the Fund derived its money from a few channels and not from the bulk of the profession. He asked all members to try to enlist at least one new subscriber this year. The address of the Fund is 1, Balliol House, Manor Fields, London, S.W.15. ACCIDENT-PRONENESS IN a series’of reports published by the Industrial Health Research Board between 1926 and 1940 E. Farmer and E. G. Chambers described their efforts to establish the relation of scores in psychological tests to recorded accidents. The purpose was to gain some idea of the measurable psychological qualities involved in accident-proneness, with the ultimate aim of choosing tests to help in selecting workers for dangerous occupations. These reports, now out of print, are summarised, in a new Medical Research Council memorandum.l A FRENCH TOUR DURING May, 1954, members of the International Hospital Federation made a study tour of the hospitals of France.
