An appeal on behalf of the Inter-Church Aid and Refugee Service, by the Lord Luke
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Inter-Church Ajd and Refugee Service Department of the British Council of Churches has inherited the magnificent restoration work done corporately by the British Churches in the years following the war through Christian Reconstruction in Europe. The vast refugee tragedy remains one of the most poignant tribulations of today, infecting with despair and misery millions of men, women, and children in Europe, the Middle East, and Korea. This appeal is both a challenge and an opportunity to the British Churches in England. Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, together with all people of good will, to extend the hand of fellowship and succour to a vast multitude in dire need.
The Churches' own Refugee Service has a heavy task to maintain during these critical days in world affairs the work of rehabilitation and relief, which is being carried on by an inter-denominational British Churches team in the refugee field.

A biologist's reflections on the human brain by J. Z. Young , F.R.S. Professor of Anatomy at University College, London
5-How We Learn to Communicate
This lecture is a study of the methods of communication that develop in the brain. As babies we first learn how to pick out significant objects from the chaos around and to name them. From these habits we learn how to speak about ourselves. Later brain habits are largely directed to ensuring co-operation between individuals. The most primitive forms of communication were probably sexual, and to these have gradually been added methods of acting that bind us together into families and larger social groups.
