Appeal on behalf of the Catholic Council for Polish Welfare, by Ted Kavanagh
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
At the end of the war there were 240.000 Poles who had served in Polish Forces under British command in nearly every theatre of the war. Since then, changes of frontiers and regime have made it difficult for many of them to return to their own country, and there are at present in Britain more than 150,000 Poles, of whom many are in real need of help.
The Catholic Council for Polish Welfare was set up in 1946 by the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Griffin.

A new adaptation for broadcasting in ten episodes by H. Oldfield Box
Produced by Howard Rose
Episode 5
To be repeated on Thursday at 3.10
Mr. Slope, the new Bishop's chaplain, has now two ambitions-to make himself supreme in the diocese and to marry Mr. Harding's widowed daughter Mrs. Bold, who possesses a very comfortable private fortune. He has therefore, by cunning misrepresentation, induced poor Mr. Quiverful to gave up his claims to the wardenship of Hiram's Hospital so that Mr. Harding may be appointed to it. But he has reckoned without Mrs. Quiverful who, suspecting double dealing, has taken her courage in both hands and has called at the palace to see the Bishop's wife, Mrs. Proudie Archdeacon Grantly meanwhile has enlisted a new and valuable ally in his contest with the palace, having induced his friend, that high church pundit Mr. Arabin, to accept the living of St. Ewold's near Barchester.

by Laurens Van der Post
Laurens Van der Post-soldier, explorer, and author of several books, including a work on South Africa entitled In A
Province — discusses the deep instinct to travel that is concealed in human nature.
' Nothing has shown me more clearly than my slight acquaintance with nomadic people what a tremendous revolution was accomplished in the human spirit, what bitter violence was done to some of its deepest instincts when human beings first tried to settle down and found permanent and stable communities. Even now I do not believe that civilisation has killed the urge of the aboriginal journey within us.'
