To
each
reader-please
accept
every
good
wish
for
1945.
May
the
New
Year
bring
fulfilment,
progress
and
considerable
satisfaction.
Whilst
we
look
for-
ward
hopefully,
we
r ealise
how
great
will
be
our
responsibilities.
-
So -
far
as
the
National
Association
of
Probation
Officers
is
concerned,
we
are
to
attempt
reconstruc-
tion
and,
I
hope,
r econsecr-ation
to
a
vocation
that-has
vast
implications
and
opportunities.
We
-shall
have
been
thinking
of
&dquo;
good-will
&dquo; .and
in
the
early
days
of
the
new
year
there
will
be,
much
well-wishing.
Comradeship
will
be
widespread.
All
these
qualities
will
be
needed
in
a
marked
degree
in
the
days
of
reorganisation.
Out
of
our
re-planning
we
may-let. us
hope
eve
shall-make
an
Association
of
probation
officer,
virile,
strong
and
100
per
cent.
representative
of
the
Probation
Service.
It
will
not
be
easy,
but
if
we
put
that
spirit
into
our
relation-
ships
which
is
so
necessary
for
the
well-being
of
those
,who
come
under
our
supervision,
we
shall
achieve
our
goaL-a
solid
and
progressive
Association
based
on
a
sound
foundation.

Annual ’
Conference
’
The
Annual
Conference
will
be
held
in
the
Spring.
,-
It
will
probably’
be
an
epoch-making
conference
and
in
our
planning
may
we
not
forget
the
valuable
experiences
of
the
past-
and
those
valiant
and
enthusiastic
crusaders
who
have
brought
us
to
the
present
position.
They
and
the
present
state
may
be
criticise
but
zve
have
at
least
reached
a
stage
where
we
can
reznuster
our
forces,
replan
and
proceed
on
a
far
wider
scale.
It
is
doubt-
ful
if
we
can
have
greater
enthusiasm
than
was
shown
by
those
early
workers;
we
can,
howev er,
harness
their
emotional
enthusiasm
and
practical
experience
of
’life
to
the
scientific
knowledge
available
to-day.
So
shall
the
combined
qualities
of
enthusiasm,
experi-
ence
wand
knowledge
make
us
well
equipped
and
able
to
strengthen
the
service in
its
wider
sphere.

Remand
Home
Accommodation
Attention
has
been
focused
on
the
Remand
Home
incident
in
the
Metropolitan
area.
This -will
under-
line
the
plea
zve
have.
been making
for
so
long-that.
there
is
urgent
need
for
increased
and
more
adequate
Remand
Home
accommodation.
If
only
all
Local
Authorities
would
realise
how
impor tant
is
this
,matter,
and
would
provide
proper
facilities,
they
would
soon
appreciate
the
value
to
magistrates,
pro-
bation
offices
and
all
who
have
to
deal
with
the
young
offender,
not
to
mention
the
effect
on
the
young
offender himself.

Remobil isation
The
subject
of
demobilisation
has
been
discussed
within
the
various
public
and
voluntary
service.
For
ourselves,
we
could
wish
that
the
experienced
and
trained
probation
offices
who
are
with
H.1T.
Forces
might
be
available
to
help
deal
with
the
spate
of
work
that
is
bound
to
come
our
way
when
general
demobilisation
takes
place.
If
these
men
are
to
be
of
real
vale
their
early
release
should
be
arranged
so
that
they
might
pick
up
the
threads,
get
inio
their
’stride
and
be
fully
prepared
to
meet
the
demands
on
their
knowledge,
understanding
and
sympathy.
The
loss
of
the
sixty
or
so
affected
would
not
injure
the
efficiency
of
the
Armed
Forces-it
might
create
a
precedent
for
others
to
argue
when
laying
claims
for
early
demobilisation.
We
feel
that
our
particular
claim,
affecting
so
few
Service
personnel,
is
one
which
merits
more
than
ordinary
consideration.
