Appeal on behalf of the Marine Society by the Chairman, Admiral Sir Geoffrey Miles , K.C.B., K.C.S.i.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Started by the philanthropist Jonas Hanway on June 25, 1756, to provide and equip landmen volunteers for H.M. ships and, later, to clothe and fit out boys who voluntarily offered themselves for service at sea, the Marine Society commemorates its founder on this occasion of its bicentenary. More than 75,000 boys have been helped to go to sea during the two hundred years; and three hundred or so are now being helped annually to make the sea their career, mostly as officers or ratings in the Merchant Navy.

9—' Matrimonial Projects ' with members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company
Produced by Peter Watts
Edmond Dantes has come to Paris to revenge himself on the three men responsible for his imprisonment. He has learned that Danglars gets advance financial information through his wife's lover Debray, and he now means to make use of this fact. He also tempts Danglars, through his greed, into marrying his daughter to a felon masquerading as an Italian nobleman, Cavalcanti.
For the downfall of de Villefort, he has not only unearthed a scandal in the man's past, but has also encouraged Mme. de Villefort's unhealthy interest in poisons. De Villefort's rich old father, once an active Bonapartist, is now completely paralysed, but he opposes his granddaughter Valentine's marriage to Baron Franz d'Epinay. Valentine is in love with a dashing Captain, the son of Dantes' employer years ago in Marseilles.
As to Fernand Mondego, the third of his enemies, Dantes has let the story of the origins of the man's fortunes leak out in Paris.

Being an Art Student in Paris by Berta Ruck
For more than fifty years now Miss Ruck has earned her living as a writer; yet, as a child, her one ambition was to draw. ' Houses I drew,' she says, ' with curly smoke coming out of the chimneys ... at four I drew Scriptural scenes-angels with dinner plate haloes behind their heads.' Later she was sent to London, and then to Paris-to learn to draw properly.' In this talk, Miss Ruck recalls her days in Paris: the Art School; the bearded Professors; the restaurants with their succulent meals for one franc fifty centimes; and the many friends she met.
