9—' Equality of Sacrifice '
Produced by William Hughes
In the years immediately preceding 1914, Jonathan Dakers has successfully overcome his difficulties in improving the medical services in the Black Country town of Wednesford. With the coming of the war his duties increase when his brother Harold and his rival, Dr. Craig, enlist for military service.
Edie Martyn , the girl whom Jonathan loves, returns to England, from Germany, but it is obvious that she does not return his affection. Old Dr. Hammond, who has retired from partnership with Jonathan, is a very sick man and Jonathan has been called in to see him.

A short version, specially recorded, of the Presidential Address to the British Association
On one occasion, at least, the world was startled by what was said by the President in the address that traditionally opens the annual meeting of the British Association. That was in 1898, when Sir William Crookes declared that hunger would face the world by 1930. Today food supplies are again the cause of anxiety, and this year's President returns to the theme-food and population. What he has to say is based on a lifetime of experience, much of it as Director of the Rothamsted Experimental Station, the oldest of its kind anywhere.
