Appeal: Scottish National Institution for War-Blinded (Newington House) by A. K. Mackenzie

BBC Home Service Scottish

Appeal on behalf of the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home for Disabled Ex-Servicemen, Worthing, by Sir Compton Mackenzie, O.B.E.
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home, Worthing, better known as Gifford House, was founded after the first World War as a permanent Home for some fifty totally disabled ex-Servicemen. In 1933 it was moved from Roehampton to Worthing, and a scheme was evolved whereby grievously disabled ex-Servicemen, who are able to live at home but for whom an ordinary holiday is out of the question, could have a change at the seaside--during last year 215 such men from all parts of the country occupied the twelve beds set aside for this purpose. Although Government grants are received towards the treatment of some patients, the Home needs more than £ 20,000 yearly from voluntary sources to carry on its work.

The novel by Jules Verne
Adapted as a serial in thirteen parts by Lance Sieveking
PART 4
Other parts played by David . Spenser and Derek Smith
Produced by Norman Wright
It is October 9, 1872. The eccentric Mr. Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout have now been six and a half days on their journey round the world, which Fogg has wagered to do in eighty days. He has not spent much of the £ 20,000 in the carpet bag.
A landslide having blocked the line in France, he bought a balloon for £ 2,000, and with Passepartout crossed the Alps and caught a train for Brindisi, where they boarded the steamer Mongolia for Bombay. Fogg bribed the engineers to get to Suez in record time.
A detective named Fix is now waiting at Suez. He thinks Fogg is the thief who got away with £ 55,000 from the Bank of England. He telegraphs Scotland Yard for a warrant to arrest in Bombay.
