AMBULANCE WORKER - Honour for a Keighley Lady At an investiture of the Grand Priory of the Venerable Order of St John of Jerusalem, to be held at St John's Gate, London, next month, Mrs Agnes Scatterty, wife of Lieut.-Colonel W. Scattery M.D., of Highfield, Keighley, is to be installed as an Officer of the Order. Mrs Scatterty, who was awarded the long-service medal in July, is the Commandant of the Keighley V.A.D. of the St John Ambulance Association, in addition to being Lady Corps Superintendent for the Keighley area, which includes the Bingley, Keighley, Glusburn, and Skipton divisions. Colonel Scatterty and his wife have worked side by side in the movement for many years, and the former has long enjoyed the distinction of being a Knight of Grace. Both were associated in the administration of the war hospitals opened at Keighley during the Great War, and for her splendid work at the Spencer Street Hospital Mrs Scatterty was created a Member of the British Empire. Not the least valuable phase of Mrs Scatterty's recent work has been the building up of a strong detatchment of cadets, who, in appreciation of her interest in them, presented her the other day with a cut-glass vase.
