Appeal on behalf of the Sailors' Children's Society, by Brian Rix
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
Since 1821 nearly 6,000 orphaned children of British seafarers from all parts of the country have been brought up bv the Sailors' Children's Society. Today there .are more than a hundred children living in the care of house-fathers and mothers in fine surroundings at the headquarters in Hull and at Hornsea, while more than three hundred children whose fathers have been lost at sea are helped to remain with the widowed mothers in their own homes throughout the country. Despite a careful watch on expenditure, deficits are incurred each year and funds are urgently needed.

Coventry Patmore and Edna St. Vincent Millay
Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
Poems read by Francis Meynell , Janette Richer
Frank Dunqan and Hugh Manning
Coventry Patmore spoke of himself as ' ... singularly moved
To love the lovely that are not beloved '
Sir Francis Meynell considers four poets the body of whose work is, he claims, not sufficiently known or loved. He goes beyond the anthology pieces, which do not always do them justice.
