     MINOR WORKS.—Of the minor works carried out during the year,
the installation of a new cold storage room with air conditioned
refrigerator, was the most important one.

     A breakdown occurred during the year in the old cold storage
system of this Institute. As a result thereof, the prophylactic vaccines
had to be shifted to the Medical College cold storage and much
inconvenience was experienced for about a fortnight. Besides, there
was not sufficient space for the storing of vaccines. For these reasons,
Government was approached, and a new cold storage, worked by a
Freon gas system was installed during the year under report and is
working satisfactorily.

     CINEMA SHOWS.—On ten occasions during the year, cinema shows
and demonstrations were given at this Institute.

     MEETINGS.—During the year under report, 59 meetings were held
at the Institute by various Societies and Committees such as the
Burma Red Cross Society, the National Council of Women in Burma,
St. John Ambulance Association, the Health Exhibition Technical
Committee, etc. The Annual General Meeting of the Red Cross
Society was presided over by His Excellency the Governor of Burma.
