We extend the hand of fraternity to the St. John’s Ambulance Association of Great Britain and recommend this squad and its sergeant to the kind offices of those representatives of the St. John’s Ambulance Association in Australia. The Columbia Park Boy’s club has set a national standard of efficiency in training boys in clean living, thinking and athletes and it is both the pride and pleasure of the California Branch of the American National Red Cross to wish this, the first squad of a detachment of the Grand Legion of the Red Cross to visit another nation, God speed and a hearty welcome in the Antipodes.
