Appeal on behalf of the work of the British Council for Rehabilitation, by Peter Ustinov
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
It is not widely recognised that there are today tens of thousands of people in this country who, because of illness, injury, or congenital deformity, are condemned to a life of enforced inactivity and dependence on the charity of others, despite their capacity and willingness for work. The British Council for Rehabilitation is attempting by all possible means to reclaim these ' social derelicts,' and to point the way by which they can be restored to a life of independence, full employment, and self-respect. Through its Preparatory Training Bureau new hope is brought to long-term patients in hospitals, by equipping them through correspondence courses to undertake suitable careers on their discharge.
A novel by John P. Marquand adapted as a serial in twelve parts by H. Oldfield Box 4 — ' New York has Everything'
Produced by Wilfrid Grantham
Time, October, 1940. Place, New York. Jeffrey Wilson, of small town origin, is married to a woman of family and money; and on the surface, he has raised himself to her level. But he and his wife have really nothing in common. His life seems to him to be all in pieces.
The war in Europe is going badly for the British, and it cannot be long before America herself is involved. The uncertainties of the situation have brought to a head all Jeffrey's personal dissatisfactions and anxieties. His son Jim, who means more to him than anyone else in the world, is of military age.
