A play about Sir Walter Scott by Christine Orr
Children everywhere know the romance of poems like Scott's ' Marmion ' and the Waverley novels, but his own life was itself a moving drama. In this play you will hear how the lame boy who loved old stories and ballads became the mysterious author of ' Waverley ', and how Sir Walter Scott of Abbotsford was overtaken by misfortune which only roused him to greater efforts.
The play will be followed by a short epilogue

An appeal on behalf of Serving Men and their Dependents, by General Sir Edmund Ironside , G.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Chief of the Imperial
General Staff
The welfare of serving men and their dependents has long been the special care of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Help Society, who deal with the men themselves, and the Soldiers', Sailors' and Airmen's Families Association who assist the families and dependents. These two organisations work under separate charters, but their efforts are closely co-ordinated for the benefit of those whom they serve. In carrying out their work. considerable financial help has been found necessary, and further funds are now urgently needed to avoid any curtailment of these activities.
