When Saily's portrait was completed, she discovered chat Richard Fulton had already bought it and that Oswald Garnish planned to submit it to the Royal Academy. As lessee of her cottage on Parkwood Lodge estate, Mrs. Tiffin was persuaded to lodge an objection to the Compulsory Purchase Order for the Estate. Jenny arrived unexpectedly from Melburgh, very upset at Clive Matron's behaviour towards her. After some difficulty.

by Learie Constantine
Sometime this year the well-known West Indian cricketer, Learie Constantine, will be returning to his native Trinidad. Before his departure the BBC offered Constantine the freedom of the air. In this half-hour unscripted talk he tells of the problems and struggles which he had to face on settling down in England twenty-five years ago - as a cricketer, and as a coloured man in a white community. He also tells of the problems and struggles which he will have to face on his return to the West Indies.
