Appeal on behalf of Queen Elizabeth's Training College for the Disabled, Leatherhead, and St. Loyes College for the Training and Rehabilitation of the Disabled, Exeter, by Peter Scott, M.B.E., D.S.C .
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Since these two Colleges opened (the first of their kind in this country) in 1935 and 1937 respectively, some 6,000 men, women, and juveniles, all physically handicapped, most of them with major disabilities, have been trained to hold their own in industry. They are thus helping to increase productivity, which is vital to the nation's recovery and well-being.
The Colleges are voluntary undertakings, deriving no benefit from the National Health Service.

2-1 Oliver Runs Away '
Produced by Charles Lefeaux
A child is born in a Midland workhouse to a poor creature who has staggered in from nobody knows where. A few minutes after the birth the mother dies and Mrs. Corney. the workhouse matron, leaves the laying-out of the body to an old pauper, Sally, who finds something of interest and value which she keeps. The boy becomes a ward of the parish under the care of Mr. Bumble, the beadle, who names him Oliver Twist. For his first nine years Oliver is farmed out to live a life of hunger and neglect at the parish nursery, and is then brought before the Board, who consign him to a life of equal neglect in the workhouse.
While there he is chosen by lot to approach the Master one dinner-time and ask for more. This rebellious conduct decides the Board that they must get rid of him at once. After an unsuccessful attempt to apprentice him to a chimney-sweep, he finds himself bound to Mr. Sowerberry, the local undertaker, where, on his first night, he is shown his bed in the workshop among the coffins.
