Tyler 6 Chairman's Foreword In the following pages the Director in his introduction and the Heads of Department in their respective reports describe in fair detail the work of the year. I have pleasure in presenting these reports which reflect great credit on the staff of the Council and on the hundreds of voluntary workers who in one way and another are actively associated with the work of the Council of Social Service. The review of the Council's activities to which the Director refers gave those of us on the Review Committee a much deeper insight into the work done and a quicker appreciation of achievement of the staff than is normally realised by Committee members of any organisation. It so happens that the resignation of the Assistant Director gives an opportunity to consider changes in the staff structure which we think will be of benefit to the Council's efficiency and standing in Wales. The Director pays his tribute to Mr. Ieuan Jones' work for the Council over a period of nearly ten years. The quick lively enthusiasm and easy sociability allied to his keen business sense and his assiduous efforts to raise money for the Council are qualities which have earned our gratitude and which fit him admirably for the responsibility of his new post in London as Chief Executive Officer of the London Welsh Trust to which he has gone with our cordial good wishes.
