. Le Train de Nuit
A programme for those interested in brushing up their French
Script by Emile Harven and M. J. MacDonald
Peter and Heten Lamb are taking the night tram to Marseilles. Unfortunately, they did not reserve seats and there is no room in the tfhird class. They go into a second-class compartment, but complications arise when it comes to paying on their tickets. Hermes appears at the crucial moment and is able to explain what was wrong.
Est-ce que ces places sont prises?, are these seats taken?; plein, full: rester debout dans ie couloir, to stand in the corridor; on y est serre comme des sardines, they're packed like sardines; jusqu'ou allez-vous?, how far are you going?; re.tenir des places, to reserve seals; il nous faut payer le supplément, we must pay the difference; tarn pis, what a pity; le recu, receipt; nos billots ne sont pas de deux;eme classe, our tickets are not second class.

Appeal on behalf of the SOS Society, by Howard Marshall
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The SOS Society is a voluntary organisation dependent on public generosity. It runs sixteen hostels in all, to help aged men and women unable to fend for themselves, men in need or trouble, and boys who have never had a proper chance.
Although the SOS Society adapts itself to changing times, its policy remains constant and is based on the vital importance of the individual. It is convinced that most of those who have got out of the society of their fellows can, with individual help, be brought back to normal life.
The Society pays no regard to race or creed, though its matrons and wardens are members of a Christian Church.
Local authorities pay for some of those in the Society's care, and others contribute what they can, but £14,000 must be raised annually from voluntary sources.
