Appeal on behalf of the National Birthday Trust Fund (for Extension of Maternity Services) by Professor W. C. W. Nixon M.D., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. ,
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The National Birthday Trust Fund was founded in 1928. At that time four out of every one thousand mothers died each year in childbirth. Through the Safer Motherhood Campaign, the Trust worked for the raising of the standard of care given to mothers, including the provision of relief of pain in childbirth, for which it provided funds for research into analgesia suitable for use by midwives. Since the war, the Trust has concentrated upon research into the causes of physical and mental defects of infants, in the belief that many may be caused in the antenatal period and are preventable. It is to maintain and extend the programme of research that the appeal is now being made.

4—' The Cemetery of the Chateau d'lf
Produced by Peter Watts
Edmond Dantes , a young sailor falsely charged with complicity in a plot to restore Napoleon to the throne, has been imprisoned in the terrible Chateau d'If, on an island off Marseilles. In despair, he tries to starve himself to death, but at the last moment he hears a scraping behind the stones of his dungeon. He removes the stone and admits the white-haired, fiery-eyed Abbe Faria , a fellow political prisoner. The Abbe has miscalculated the angle of his tunnel, so that it has brought him not to the battlements but to Dantes' cell.
Dantes takes new heart now that he-has a companion whom he can visit. To pass the years, the Abbe undertakes to educate him, and finds him a quick pupil. Between them they start a new tunnel, and this time, after years of labour, there is no mistake.
