An appeal on behalf of The County Infirmary, Carmarthen, by Lady Dynevor

The appeal tonight is for funds to erect a Maternity Ward for Carmarthen Infirmary, which is without one, though it serves the whole county, treating patients from far-flung areas within its borders and even outside.
It is surely all wrong that the 'Mother Institution' of a county in Great Britain should be without a maternity ward, the need for which becomes more and more urgent. The site chosen is ready, but nothing can be done without money.
The Dinefwr family were associated with the founding of the infirmary in 1847, and still actively help it. Lord Dynevor is one of the trustees, and Lady
Dynevor, who broadcasts this appeal, is President of the Linen League, which makes itself responsible for the supply of sheets and so forth, and keeps them in repair.
It has been said in Carmarthen, and she will confirm the truth of it, that the suggested Maternity Ward will have the blessing of everyone.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to [address removed]

London National will radiate the London Regional Week's Good Cause, North National the North Regional Week's Good Cause, and Scottish National the Scottish Regional Week's Good Cause. West National will close down till 8.50
