H V Morton recounts a dawn motor trip from Aleppo to Antioch with a mounted policeman stopping the car for inspection.

The journey ends as they reach Antioch after five hours.

NSW Hospitals Shift Toward Intermediate Wards and Private Rooms
The Hospitals Commission announces a policy led by D K Otten to expand intermediate wards and private patient rooms in New South Wales. The aim is to widen the appeal of public hospitals and reduce reliance on private facilities. Financing and new builds are needed, with ward expansion anticipated in major hospitals as more patients opt to pay for better accommodation. The plan suggests private hospitals may gradually diminish as public hospitals upgrade their equipment and services.
