The British Leprosy Relief Association, now known as LEPRA (formerly BELRA) , held a very successful residential conference for its Regional Oganizing Secretaries at Farnham, Surrey, England, in May of this year ( 1 966) . Under the genial chairmanship of Sir George Seel, K . C . M . G . , Chairman of Lepra, the partici­ pants not only considered questions of propa­ ganda and organization and fund-raising, but also gave themselves as laymen to the study of leprosy as a major endemic disease in the coun­ tries of the Commonwealth . Interesting factual reports of their recent visits to Africa were given by Mrs Peggy l\10rton, Regional Organizing Secretary for N.B . Eng­ land, and by Mr Francis Harris, M . C . , Deputy General Secretary of LEPRA. Dr Gordon Currie, O . B . E . , gave the conference up-to-date ' news concerning the Leprosy Con­ tnH Project inaugurated recently by LEPRA in Malawi . In the chosen area of operations there are probably 1 0,000 people suffering from lep­ rosy. Communications are quite good, and the people are courteous and friendly. The Project is assured of the personal interest . and whole­ hearted co-operation of the President, Dr Hastings Banda. Dr Currie himself, who as Government Leprologist had an enormous fund of local knowledge and enjoyed the esteem of the people, directed the scheme in its initial stages . To the regret of all, circumstances have com­ pelled Dr Currie to return to Britain. His place has been taken by Dr David Molesworth, formerly of Malaya and Ghana . He i s assisted by two LEPRA field-workers, and will shortly be joined by an experienced nursing sister and a laboratory technologist. Auxiliary staff are being trained on the spot in leprosy diagnosis and treatment, and rural surveys are under ·way. Already, many hundreds of leprosy patients have been brought under treatment.
