(Continued in next column)
MrsLoss visited Parkwood Hill and took Sidney William and Frederick William back to the circus with her. Joanna Loss was very upset and Ivor was concerned about her; she moved from the hostel into a room let by a Mrs. Barton. Ivor was offered the post of assistant to old Dr. Fenimore, who had been taken ill; against Dr. Dale's advice he accepted. In Italy a new will turned up-made by Cousin Bertram just before he died, and in favour of Mrs. Dale; when Mrs. Dale told Elsie, she broke down and confessed that she had forged her will.

5 — ' The Phone Rings at Night'
Written by Stephen Grenfell
The series edited and produced by Alan Burgess
This is the story of the Emergency Call Service ... of the doctors who patrol the streets of the metropolis at night in their radio-equipped cars. On Friday July 13, 1956, two young men returned by air from a holiday in Rome. They were suffering from typhoid. A quick-thinking policeman, a shrewd on-the-spot diagnosis by an Emergency Call Service flying doctor, and what might have become a dangerous epidemic was prevented before it could begin.
