Tutu works in London as a cook-nanny-housekeeper to a South African family, as she did in Cape Town. But the freedoms of England are, for her, a very different life from the one she led as a Cape Coloured woman in South Africa.
She compares her present life with her former years on the wrong side of the apartheid barrier. Compiled and produced by Peggy Harper See page 10

by Jules Verne, freely adapted as a serial in eight parts by Lance Sieveking

It is now the middle of July 1867; and Professor Aronnax, Elbow, and Ned Land have been Captain Nemo's prisoners on board the Nautilus for ten months, and have travelled hither and thither under the sea - nearly eighteen thousand leagues, which is approximately fifty-four thousand miles.

There is a queer feeling of aimless-ness. They have long ceased to be astonished at anything the strange Captain Nemo does. He has shown them mermaids swimming among the ruins of the sunken continent Atlantis. He has nearly wrecked the submarine under the ice at the South Pole. With Nemo they have walked in submarine forests: dressed in the breathing-machines he invented, and with electric guns have hunted horrifying monsters.

Appeal on. behalf of UFAW
Universities Federation for Animal-Welfare by the President of the British Veterinary Association and of the Veterinary Section of UFAW, Sydney Jennings, m.R.c.v.s.
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Sydney Jennings [address removed]
The main object of UFAW is to enlist the services of professional people and of students in promoting kindness to animals, including those used in experiments, and in carrying out scientific investigations for the benefit of animals. It is helped in this work by eminent scientists. UFAW campaigned against the gin trap (now made illegal), saved dogs from pain, due to wrong methods of electrocution, and opposes cruel poisons and the wounding of deer by 'incompetent shots' and poachers.
