18 The Journal of the Association of Cine-Technicians Mav, i()35 The Manor House Hospital Membership Available to A.C.T. Members Many of us fight shy of hospitals, either because we have a natural aversion to all institutions or because we think that by paying nursing home or specialist fees better treatment is secured. It is not our place to argue the truth or otherwise of this tendency, but we do know that such reluctance and belief is definitely untrue of the Manor House Hospital — one that is probably miique both in its management and character. The Great War was responsible for the Manor House Hospital ; Peace Time has seen that the good work done then has been continued. The casualities of peace — accidents at work or away from it — can be just as damaging as injuries of war. Members of the Association of Cine-Technicians may join 200,{)()0 others in becoming members of this Hospital — j)rivately owned and controlled by its members. Advantages of Membership. The following are some c^f the achantages which the Hospital offers : — (1) The very best medical care and surgical skill. (2) Specialist consultations and advice. Accommo dation, not in a general public hospital in the middle of a great city, surrounded by a constant roar of traffic, but in a private hospital, owned by its members, in pleasant surroundings at Golders Green, on the outskirts of London, within easy access from every district. (3) Free ambulance service. (4) A well-equipped Out-Patients' Department. (5) Qualified Optical and Dental Treatment under favourable terms. (VY House, Hampstead, the residence of the late Madame Anna Pavlova, PURCHASED FOR THE CREATION OF A WoMEN's HOSPITAL. Rates of Subscriptions. There are two rates of subscriptions, both of vvliich entitle contributors to full benefits, and by joining THROUGH A.C.T. the customary qualifying period is waived and Benefits may start at once. Those earning less that jf250 per annum pay a penny per week ; those earning over that sum sul^scribc an annual fee of One Guinea. What are the circumstances and conditions most to ])c desired about a hosjiital ? They are, surely, that the treatment shah be of the l)est, the surroundings shall be as pleasing as possible, the atmosjihere shall be friendly and conducive to wellbeing and devoid of any charitable taint, and, nevertheless, the cost shall not hv i)r()liil)iii\T. The Manor Hou.sc Hospital fills the hill in .ill respects. It should be pointed out that the full facilities ol the Hospital are not at present available to women. The Dental and Optical sections are, however, open to them and therefore make the scheme worthy of consideration even in its hmited application, and it may be mentioned that steps have already been taken which it is hoped will lead to the building of a new Women's Hospital in close proximity to the present building. Payment of Subscriptions. For the j)ayment of subscriptions there will be an appropriate column on the new A.C.T. membership cards to be issued the first week in June. .\fter the first payment, and as long as payments coniinue, members will be entitled to all the benefits the hospital affords. We hope all our members will take advantage of this fine opportunity. They cannot spend a penny a week, or a guinea a year, as the case may be, more wisely.
