Appeal on behalf of the St. David's Cathedral Restoration Fund by T. I. Ellis
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to T. I. Ellis , Esq., [address removed]
St. David's Cathedral is built on the site of the sixth-century church of the Patron Saint of Wales and his companions, who made this remote westerly spot the centre of their missionary activities. Little remains of the earlier buildings, but the present fine cathedral dates from the twelfth century with later additions. In common with all such ancient structures, much restoration is required to preserve the fabric for future generations. The two most serious threats come from the insecure foundations and the traces of the death-watch beetle in the woodwork. An appeal for £ 100,000 was launched eight years ago and the sum of £ 70,000 has already been collected. It is urgent that the remainder should be raised without further delay.

9—' The Other Guest'
Also taking part:
Angus Martin , Philip McCall and Gerard Slevin
Broduced by James Crampsey
(Paul Curran broadcasts by permission of Old Vic Trust Ltd.)
Alan Fairford , deserting in mid-court his cause of Poor Peter Peebles , is now on the trail of his kidnapped friend, Darsie Latimer. At Tom Trumbull's inn at Annan he has met the egregious sailor and drinking man Nanty Ewart and thereafter found himself aboard the Jumping Jenny. Even Nanty seems to know more about the background of mystery that surrounds young Darsie Latimer than does the young man himself or his friend Fairford-and about Redgauntlet and the case of Peter Peebles ! And when the little barque puts in at Bowness the coastguards are waiting for her.
