Every year the Vicar of St. Martin's makes this special Christmas Appeal. It is an appeal by, but not for. St. Martin's, for the gifts received are distributed throughout the British Isles to those who are in need through illness or misfortune. Through this appeal thousands are enabled to share in the joy of Christmas who would not otherwise have done so.

' She stood on the platform watching the receding train; an oblong box tied with string beside her. She wore a faded yellow dress and a black jacket too warm for the day-a girl of twenty-a grave, almost sullen face-but when she laughed her whole face lighted up.'

The Age of Automation by Sir Leon Bagrit Chairman of Elliott-Automation Ltd.
† 6: New Opportunities for
Social Enrichment
Automation will produce a great increase in the national wealth. Our task is to build a society adjusted to the idea of being affluent. At present our thinking and planning are greatly handicapped by prejudices which make it difficult to imagine a society so rich that it can provide adequate comfort and opportunities for all its citizens. It is a fundamental error to regard the problems of today as a basis for our plans for tomorrow.
