The Black Country

The black country, the great industrial area in the Midlands, has been given a new and equally appropriate name. In their programme about the district, Robin Whitworth and Bernard Coaling refer to it as "The Anvil of England"—an apt title for the centre of the country's iron and metal industries.

The programme will show how the changes in civilization and in industry have affected that part of Staffordshire of which Dudley Castle ed qualifications—will make a bigger and better organization in Shanghai.

This is a fraternity of ordinary men, "not out for personal glorification; but with ideals of service."

We honour the dead by helping the living."
