Appeal on behalf of the British Council for Aid to Refugees, by Miss Anita Pavelkovich , formerly a ' displaced person '
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Council was formed in 1950 by voluntary organisations interested in the welfare of displaced persons who were the victims of the Second World War. The Council maintains a hostel in London for elderly refugees who are supported by voluntary contributions from people in this country. The Council is now asking for financial support for a new hostel to accommodate a further forty refugees still in the D.P. camps in Germany, Austria, and Trieste.
This appeal is also on behalf of a hostel in Bristol which is able to house ten persons; the Bristol Committee has agreed to combine its appeal with that of the British Council for Aid to Refugees.
Help is also urgently needed for individual welfare work, to enable the Council to make grants and loans to those D.P.s who are normally self-supporting but may be in some temporary difficulty.

Old Martin Chuzzlewit , attended by his ward Mary Graham , is forced by illness to spend a few days at the Blue Dragon, which is presided. over by a widow, Mrs. Lupin, and Mark Tapley , the ostler.

Among them is Mr. Pecksniff, who lives nearby with his daughters, Charity and Mercy; Anthony Chuzzlewit and his son, Jonas, from London; and Chevy Slyme, a cousin, whose interests are being watched over by Montague Tigg. Tom Pinch, Mr. Pecksniff's assistant, bids farewell to John Westlock , a pupil who is leaving, and makes ready to receive the latest architectural student, old Chuzzlewit's grandson, Martin. That evening, Montague Tigg bursts in and tells Pecksniff that old Martin Chuzzlewit has disappeared.

Talk by John Connell
To a British child born overseas the word ' home' has a sharply unusual meaning. John Connell , who was born in the West Indies and lived in Gibraltar, talks of his own recollections and his observations of the present generation of children with the same kind of background.
