Appeal on behalf of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (registered in accordance with the National Assistance Act 1948), by Wilfred Pickles, O.B.E .
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
A guide diog acts for its blind owner by guiding him througb crowded' streets, stopping at all curbs, avoiding all obstacles, going 'Forward,' 'Left,' or ' Right ' on the owner's command. The dogs quickly learn the way and take command of the route, whether by railway, Underground, or bus.
The possession of guide dogs gives their owners physneal independence, the ability to plan their lives as they wish, to earn their living (eighty-five per cent of the guide dog owners do so), and affords the comfort and companionship of a faithful friend. ' They walk with their dogs along the road to happiness.'
It takes, on an average, three or four months .to train a dog; when the dogs are ready oheir prospective owners work with them at the school until they become a unit and can go home together to carry on with their lives in independence and safety. It costs more than £ 200 to train each dog supplied to a blind person.

Returning home, Arthur Gride finds that has housekeeper Peg Siiderskew has stolen a box of important papers, including the will by which he alone had learnt of Madeline's fortune. Stopping at nothing to ensure that Nicholas should not marry an heiress, Ralph uses Squeers in an attempt to regain the papers.
But unknown to him, through information received from Newman Noggs, the Cheeryble Brothers have Squeers followed and arrested with Peg. The Brothers tell Ralph of these arrests and that Snawley has confessed to the plot against Smike; they advise him to fly and escape the consequence of his crimes, but their kindness only angers him further.
