Sister Dorothy Beale, who recently received the MBE, and who was a prisoner of war in Japan for four years is sister-in-charge of the Methodist Hospital at Kimadan, New Ireland. In Brisbane recently, she earned the unstinted praise of Mr. F. Fielding, secretary of the Methodist Women’s Auxiliary to Overseas Missions. Mrs. Fielding
