Appeal on behalf of the Forces Help Society and Lord Roberts Workshops, by Lt.-General Lord Freyberg, V.C., G.C.M.G., K.C.B., K.B.E., D.S.O.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be sent to [address removed]
For more than fifty-seven years the Forces Help Society and Lord Roberts Workshops has worked unceasingly for the benefit of all serving and ex-Service men and women, and more than three million have been helped. In the Lord Roberts Workshops the men of three wars, with an average disability of sixty per cent, have been trained and employed to produce furniture of all kinds, bedding, basketware, and brushes.
In a Training Centre in Surrey, specially equipped for spinal cases, the more severely disabled are being trained in clock assembly and repair and in invisible mending-remunerative crafts which the men can follow later from the shelter of their own homes. Other centres are established for the aged, for the disabled and convalescent, and the Society maintains twenty-two Cottage Homes. The Forces Help Society and Lord Roberts Workshops is a voluntary organisation and needs funds to continue its vital work.
A novel by John P. Marquand adapted as a serial in twelve parts by H. Oldfield Box
12-' You'd better think fast '
Produced by Wilfrid Grantham
Angered because Madge had taken advantage of his absence in Hollywood to persuade Jim to enlist (and so separate him from Sally Sales), Jeffrey has stayed on in Hollywood, with Marianna Miller. And feeling suddenly released from the weight of his worries and responsibilities, he has at last begun to write a play of his own.
But the play, when finished, has proved worthless. Jeffrev sees that the course of his life has become too firmly set for any permanent escape to be possible. The bond that binds him to Jim is too strong anyway; and the threat of the war situation remains.
And so he has returned to his own family, to take up the old routine.
