The above figures are based on deaths occurring on the Mines, and do not include deaths occurring among recruits and repatriates in the Association’s Depots. These latter number 126 (vide Mortality Return) and if included, the death-rate from disease only for 1954 is increased to 2-53 per thousand per annum, as compared with 2-45 for 1953.

STATISTICS.To present a more accurate picture of Native labour, the statistics set out in this Report are now based on the
Natives actually distributed to mines as opposed to the numbers received at the Association’s depots.
PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT.The Association learned with pleasure of the following Government appointments in the Portuguese Province
of Mozambique :—(a) The re-appointment of Flag-Captain Gabriel Teixeira as Governor-General for a further term of four years.(b) The appointment of Major Pinto Teixeira and Commandante Barros as Provincial Secretaries, and(c) The appointment of Dr. Juvenal Carvalho as Secretary-General.
AIR TRANSPORT OF NATIVES.During the year, the air transport of Natives in Tropical Areas was further extended and services now operate
from Francistown to Mohembo, Katima Mulilo, Mongu, Blantyre, Lilongwe and Fort Hill. Approximately 58,000 Natives were transported to and from the Mines by this medium during 1954.
“ Wenela Air Services.”— On the 1st July, 1954, the Association established its own Tropical Areas Air Transport Organisation under the title of “ Wenela Air Services ” and this organisation now operates the complete airlift with the technical and managerial assistance of Africair, Limited— the Company responsible for carrying out the experimental airlift. The Association’s air fleet now comprises eight Dakota D.C.3 aircraft.
Yellow Fever.— To meet the requirements of the Union Government Health Authorities, innoculation and detention for a period of eight days applies to all recruits to be airlifted— even in respect of Natives from areas which (according to the World Health Organisation) are not yellow fever endemic areas.
JOHANNESBURG DEPOT.Hospital.— The new three storey Hospital Block was completed and occupied during December, 1954.Records of Service of Mine Native Labourers.— It is anticipated that the new Records of Service Building
will be completed early in 1955 and that the Union Native Affairs Department will commence the issue of Reference Books to Mine Natives. This will enable the Records of Service Department to commence the compilation of accurate information concerning Mine Native labourers.
ORANGE FREE S T A T E DEPOT, W ELKOM .The building programme at the Association’s Orange Free State Depot at Welkom was virtually completed
by the end of the year.MECHANISATION OF S TATISTICAL AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.
The investigation into the accounting, statistical and Depot procedures was completed during the year and a number of important changes effected.
ACCLIMATISATION OF TROPICAL NATIVES.As the experimental reduction in the acclimatisation period for Tropical Natives from 26 days to 8 days
had proved successful, it was decided to continue to apply the reduced period until further notice.
CONDITIONS OF EM PLOYM ENT OF UNDERGROUND N ATIVE LABOURERS.Rates of Wages.— In view of the importance attached by the Mining Industry to the position of Underground
Boss Boys, the minimum rates of pay for such Natives was increased as from the 1st June, 1954, from 3/7d. per shift to 4/- per shift.
SILICOSIS MEDICAL BUREAU.With a view to alleviating the serious overcrowding at the Association’s Johannesburg Depot Hospital as
the result of the accommodation of Natives for examination by the Silicosis Medical Bureau, it was decided to erect a building to house an X-ray unit from the Bureau to expedite the handling of cases. An agreed rental would be charged for the use of this building to the Bureau.
SOUTH AFRICAN IN S TITU TE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH.It was decided to renew the Association's Supplementary Grant of £2,500 per annum to the Institute for a
further period of five years from the 1st April, 1954, the total grant by the Associat’on for year remaining at £7,500.Following on the resignation from the Board of Management of the Association of Messrs. S. R. Fleischer
