Appeal on behalf of the National Birthday Trust Fund for Extension of Maternity Services by Miss Diana Wynyard , C.B.E.
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Miss Diana Wynyard. The National Birthday Trust Fund, [address removed]
The National Birthday Trust Fund was founded in 1928, at a time when a high rate of maternal mortality was prevailing, and has since worked unceasingly for the improvement of the maternity services. Propaganda has been carried on to help and educate mothers in matters relating to their welfare; funds have been provided for experimental schemes, enquiries, scholarships for midwives, and research into problems affecting the health of mothers and newlyborn infants, and the safe and effective relief of pain in childbirth. A nation-wide infant mortality survey was carried out by the Trust in 1958-60 and valuable information is now being assessed.

by JOHN GALSWORTHY
Dramatised as a serial in ten parts by Muriel Levy with Rachel Gurney and Carleton Hobbs
Clare and Tony Croom call on Roger Forsyte, the solicitor, to prepare their case in answer to Gerald Corven's divorce suit. He is discouraging about their chances unless Clare will say why she left her husband, but this she refuses to do. Dinny, in the midst of her anxiety over her sister, suddenly hears that Wilfred Desert, for whom her love is still very much alive, has been drowned. The shock is too much for her, and she is taken ill. To speed her convalescence, Adrian suggests a short holiday in Paris. PART 7
