Appeal on behalf of the Family Welfare Association by Stuart Hibberd , M.B.E.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Stuart Hibberd , Esq., Family Welfare Association, [address removed]
The Family Welfare Association is engaged in helping and advising families in every kind of social and domestic problem. Apart from its central and area offices, it administers the Citizens' Advice Bureau in Central London and two Legal Advice Centres, where many receive advice and help which they could not otherwise afford. A special department deals with Old People's Homes. Every year some 100,000 people are assisted.
The Association helps in the training each year of hundreds of students who are studying for social science degrees. The Association's work is not as well known as it might be because so much of it is confidential and cannot be publicised.

Dramatised as a serial in eleven, parts by Muriel Levy
Part 5
Production by Val Gielgud
Jean Tasburgh becomes engaged to Hubert. Meanwhile Hallorsen has published in the press a veiled apology about the charge against Hubert. Hubert considers the Professor has only done this because he has a liking for his sister Dinny. He tackles Hallorsen, who denies this and admits that the apology has been made in all sincerity.
Jean's sailor brother Alan is in love with Dinny. Jean and Dinny go to see Diana Ferse , the woman Adrian Charwell loves, only to find that she is out and her husband has returned from the mental home quite unexpectedly. Jean remains talking to Captain Ferse while Dinny contacts her Uncle Adrian. When Dinny and her uncle return, they find that Ferse has locked Jean in a room, as he wishes to confront his wife alone.
