Appeal on behalf of UFAW (The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare) by the Chairman, Fougasse (Kenneth Bird, c.B.E.)
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, which is celebrating its Silver Jubilee, was founded by two students; it now has branches in eight British universities, 1,500 scientific and university members, and more than 4,000 associate members and subscribers. Its main object is to enlist the services of scientists and other professional people and of university students in promoting the welfare of animals and to carry out scientific investigations for the benefit of animals. It carries on educational work among students and through the teaching profession.
Many of UFAW's members are zoologists or veterinary surgeons. UFAW works from inside the laboratories to foster consideration for the animals used in experiments. It is conducting a campaign against the gin-trap and engages in various other humanitarian activities that demand technical scientific knowledge

Bill Sikes takes Oliver to Chertsey where they meet Toby Crackit. The house to be burgled belongs to a Mrs. Maylie who lives there with Rose, her adopted niece. Oliver is put through the window but an alarm is raised and he is shot in the arm by Giles the butler. Bill Sikes abandons him in a ditch. On the same night, in the town where Oliver was born, Mr. Bumble proposes to Mrs. Corney the workhouse matron. She is called away to old Sally, who attended Oliver's mother, and is now dying herself. She tells Mrs. Corney of the locket she stole and the matron takes the pawn ticket from the old woman's dead hand. On the morning after the burglary, while Giles is describing the night's adventures, there comes a knock at the door. It is Oliver, almost dead from exhaustion and loss of blood.
