Appeal on behalf of the British Rheumatic Association, by Denis Compton
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Founded soon after the war with the help of Lord Nuffield and the late Lord Horder, the British Rheumatic Association exists to promote the welfare of sufferers from rheumatism and arthritis, diseases which take a heavy toll of both human happiness and productive activity. This it seeks to do, not only by securing better and more wide-spread facilities for up-to-date diagnosis and treatment, but also, perhaps more importantly, by helping individual sufferers to overcome their disabilities.
The Association has no endowment nor any grant of public money, and is wholly dependent on voluntary contributions for the continuance of its beneficent work
by the Rt. Hon. Sir Oliver Franks G.C.M.G., K.C.B., C.B.E.
The former President of the United States, Mr. Harry S. Truman , is coming here shortly to receive an honorary degree at the University of Oxford. Sir Oliver Franks, who was British Ambassador in Washington from 1948 to 1952, gives his impressions of Mr. Truman in the light of his recently published Memoirs, and assesses the qualities which enabled him to give American foreign policy a new shape in the post-war world.

7 — ' Breakfast in Paris ' with members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company
Produced by Peter Watts
The sailor Edmond Dantès has escaped after fourteen years' imprisonment, and is now possessed of immense wealth and the title of Count. He has spent nine years perfecting his plans, and now he is ready to come to Paris to revenge himself on the three men who falsely contrived his arrest. They are Fernand Mondego, now Comte de Morcerf, who has married Edmond's betrothed, Mercedes; Danglars, now a rich banker and a Baron; and Gerard de Villefort, the magistrate who, for his own purposes, had Edmond shut up in the terrible Chateau d'If.
To further his ends, Edmond has gained the confidence of Albert, the son of Fernand and Mercedes, and has rescued him from bandits in Rome.
