21 JANUARY 1949, Page 5

In The Spectator of December 17th I mentioned the tragic

story of Mr. A. W. Blake, who was murdered just before Christmas at the orphanage he superintended in Malaya, and said I would transmit any contributions any readers might care to send for the benefit of the orphans. As a result £143 Tos. is being forwarded through the Save the Children Fund, which is responsible for the orphanage.

I will give news of its expenditure later. JANUS.
