An appeal on behalf of British Medical Missions Overseas, by Clement C. Chesterman , O.B.E., M.D., M.R.C.P., Hon. Secretary, British Advisory Board on Medical
Missions
Both in this appeal and in the service that precedes it the listener's attention is drawn to the work of the British missionaries abroad. Wartime conditions threaten the income of the many missionary societies who render invaluable medical service all over the world. Over a thousand
British doctors and nurses perform. such services in hospitals, welfare centres, and dispensaries, many of them in remote places. In the single year of 1938, 370,000 in-patients were treated and nine and a half million visits from out-patients received.
Contributions for the medical service of all mission boards in the Conference of British Missionary Societies will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to[address removed]

A dramatic history of mine-laying and mine-sweeping by ' 'Taffrail'
Production by John Cheatle
Taking part : D. A. Clarke-Smith , Laidman Browne , Ivan Samson ,
Edgar Norfolk , Philip Cunningham , Bryan Powley , Gordon McLeod , and Valentine Dyall
The feats of the mine-sweepers rarely bring them to the headlines. While they do not figure in the more sensational side of the Navy's work, their vigilance is ceaseless, their duties are always fraught with danger, and their work is absolutely essential to the protection of the country.
There is no side of life at sea on which ' Taffrail ' cannot write as the expert he is. He has a happy knack of bringing to the technical side of his subject the vivid atmosphere of everything that goes on. Tonight he will recall the history of mines in warfare, describe the work of the sweepers during the last war, and tell you how once more this fleet of gallant little ships manned by crews from the Royal Navy, the Merchant Navy, and the fishing fleets is at its task of keeping the seas open for British trade.
