Appeal on behalf of the Rhodesia Fairbridge Memorial College by the Deputy Chairman, Lord Baden-Powell
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Rhodesia Fairbridge Memorial College, near Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia, was opened in December 1946 as a memorial to Kingsley Fairbridge, founder of the Farm Schools in Australia, who was himself a Rhodesian. The scheme is open to children from the United Kingdom who are in want and need help to start a new life. At present there are 160 boys and girls from this country at the College; in addition forty-seven boys and girls have passed through the College and are now in good employment in Southern Rhodesia, where there are boundless opportunities.
It costs £ 30 to clothe and equip a child for this new start in life. Money is urgently required to carry on the work.

3—'A Desperate Resolve'
Cast in order of speaking:
Mr. Pecksniff and his daughters, Charity and Mercy, set out for London at the invitation of old Martin Chuzzlewit. They have as their travelling companions Anthony Chuzzlewit and his son Jonas, who passes the time flirting with the girls. While in London the Pecksniffs stay at Mrs. Todgers's boarding house, where old Chuzzlewit waits on them soon after their arrival. He apologises for his behaviour at the Blue Dragon and stresses his need of their friendship, while impressing on them that Mary Graham has nothing to gain after his death by her relationship with him, as he has sworn to leave her nothing in his will.
Meanwhile Martin has found a sympathetic friend in Tom Pinch, who hears how he was brought up by his grandfather but is now estranged from him by his love for Mary.
