Appeal on behalf of the Clergy Orphan Corporation by the Hon. Mr. Justice Vaisey
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Clergy Orphan Corporation was founded two hundred years ago to provide maintenance for orphans of the clergy of the Church of England. The need arose, and still remains, owing to the relatively small stipends of the clergy, which preclude saving. Young families were, and still are. often left in a very difficult position. Grants are given as circumstances demand; children are sent to St. Edmund's, Canterbury, or St. Margaret's, Bushey, as boarders, and each year about twenty children are elected to the foundation.
Benefactors and subscribers furnish the Corporation with an income which remains stationary, while maintenance costs have risen steeply in the past few years, and continue to do so. The Corporation has made every effort to keep the expenditure down. Assistance, today has now often to be limited. To keep the work going an additional income of £ 2,000 a year is needed.
A story of a man of character by Thomas Hardy
Dramatised for broadcasting by Desmond Hawkins
Music composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams 4 — ' A Meeting and a Quarrel'
Produced by Owen Reed in the BBC's West of England studios
By remarrying Susan, Michael Henchard restored her to her rightful place as his wife without revealing to Elizabeth-Jane the shameful way in which he had parted from her mother twenty years ago. Having thus made amends for the folly of his youth without betraying his secret, Henchard had reason to feel well satisfied with his present circumstances. His business was being ably managed by Donald Farfrae; his public activities as Mayor were blended now with the quieter pleasures of the family circle. The future looked bright and cheerful.
To Elizabeth-Jane every day was full of excitement. Life at the Mayor's great house, with all the fashionable clothes and personal finery she could want, exceeded her fondest hopes. And there was the romantic young Scotsman, Mr. Farfrae, to arouse some interested speculations. Altogether, a scene of contentment and security. And yet-in the underlying forces of Michael Henchard's character there were turbulent elements of jealousy and malevolence which stirred the genial atmosphere like the ominous rumbling of distant thunder. *

How to Grow Food by G. H. Chaundy
G. H. Chaundy is the principal of the Egerton School of Agriculture in Kenya. Twenty years ago as a young education officer he was sent to primitive tribesmen in Kenya who could not raise crops to feed themselves above starvation level. Almost single-handed, and at first without any co-operation from them, he changed their production methods and diet. He tells the story in this talk.
