Forces, where in 1944 and 1945 he was in charge of theCommand Laboratory. Here, with Capt. George Lumb, hecontributed to our columns (1945, i, 203) some interestingobservations on penicillin by mouth.

After the war he returned to Chichester. " His enthusiasmand persistence," writes D. P. K.,

" were largely responsible

for the rapid development of pathological services in the areawhen the National Health Service was established. He servedon the management committee of the Chichester Group fromthe inception of the service until his retirement in June, 1954.Visits to his laboratory by general practitioners, consultants,and hospital residents were warmly welcomed, and he estab-lished traditions of service to patients which have never beenforgotten. He performed many acts of kindness for his labora-tory staff, who still remember him with the greatest affectionand regard. He was joined by Dr. G. A. Harrison and myselfin 1950 and we worked as a very harmonious team. I myselfnever ceased to wonder at his youthful and enthusiastic

approach to his subject at an age when many of us are readyto shed the loads of responsibility and resent the introductionof new ideas."

When Colonel Harwood-Little retired, he continuedto live in Chichester, but he was also able to travel. His

wife, formerly Miss Margaret Dodgson, predeceased him,and they leave one son.

Notes and News

IMPERIAL CANCER RESEARCH FUND

ON June 11 the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visitedthe new laboratories of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund inLincoln’s Inn Fields. The E2’5 million spent on the site, thebuilding, and the equipment has come entirely from voluntarycontributions; and, each year, over £600,000 will have to befound from the same source for maintaining research staff,equipment, and services in Lincoln’s Inn Fields and at MillHill.The Fund’s laboratories are under the general direction of

Dr. G. F. Marrian.

THE RICHMOND FELLOWSHIP

THE mentally ill occupy as many as half the hospital beds inthis country; but, for every patient being treated in hospital,there must be a dozen outside not ill enough for admission butbadly in need of help. To offer that help is -the aim of theRichmond Fellowship.The Fellowship was started in 1959 to provide homes where

the lonely and those threatened with mental breakdown couldfind security in a strong community life. It now runs two such

homes, and a third was opened at South Darenth on June 15.The staff of each includes some trained in psychiatry andsocial work; but the atmosphere is one of a family at homerather than of nursed and nursing in hospital. Some patientsstay for as long as ten months, while others join the com-munity daily or at weekends; throughout, their links withfamily and friends outside are carefully maintained. At theend of their residence they are helped to find employment.Of the 200 or so who have been assisted by the Fellowship sofar, most have managed to hold down a regular job since theirreturn to normal life and have shown greater general stability.Apparently, therefore, community therapy as practised in thehomes is effective in re-equipping patients for the business ofliving.The Fellowship is an independent charitable company; and,

although it charges fees for residence to cover the runningcosts of its homes, at least E30.000 is needed for the mainten-ance and extension of its work. Its headquarters are at

Dunbridge House, 2 Wells Road, Bickley, Kent.
