BBC Symphony Orchestra
(Leader, Paul Beard )
Conducted by Alfred Wallenstein
Roy Harris, one of America's leading composers, was born in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, in 1898. and studied at the University of California; in 1926 he went to Paris and became a pupil of Nad:a Boulanger, returning to the U.S A. three years later. His Third Symphony was written in 1937 and first performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under Koussevilzky, in 1939. It is in one continuous movement and is built up of quite simple themes: a striking feature of the work is the impression it gives of continuous development, each theme appearing to grow out of the one that precedes it.

Appeal on behalf of the Hospital of St. John and St. Elizabeth, by Jack Train
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Hospital of St. John and St. Elizabeth was founded in 1856 and placed under the care of the Sisters of Mercy on their return from the Crimean War. The hospital, which is a general one with a training school for nurses, has always been closely associated with the Sovereign and Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta, whose members take an active part in its management.
Still voluntary and not state-controlled, this hospital of 158 beds (of which some are normally reserved for private patients) nevertheless endeavours to co-operate with the Emergency Bed Service by taking urgent cases when requested, if beds are available. These patients are paid for by the Regional Hospital Board, but the remaining beds are for those who need the hospital's help, whether they can afford to pay or not.
Last year £ 98,000 was needed to cover the running expenses, of which only fifty-eight per cent was received on account of services rendered.

Jane Eyre, an orphan, was brought up at Gateshead Hall under the care of her rich aunt, Mrs. Reed. She was but ten years of age, and cordially disliked by her aunt and her three young cousins - Eliza Reed, John Reed, and Georgiana Reed. The entire household, including Bessie the nurse and Abbot - Mrs. Reed's personal maid - treated her as a servant, and although Jane strove to fulfil every duty, she was never able to please her stony-hearted relatives. Her life was filled with wretchedness and despair. On one occasion, after having been left alone in the room in which Mr. Reed had died, she imagined that she saw her uncle's ghost, and her terror was such that she became ill. On recovering her strength, Jane, in a flood of passionate resentment against her supposed benefactress, roused her aunt from her habitual calm, so that Mrs. Reed at last decided to be rid of her 'poor relation' and arranged with Mr. Brocklehurst to take Jane as a pupil at Lowood Institution.
