£300,000 FOR BRITISH YOUTH
From King George's Jubilee Trust
SINCE ITS INCEPTION three years ago, King George's Jubilee Trust has distributed £302,000 in providing the youth of the country with better facilities for recreation and self-expression.
Thus the Trust has achieved its decision to spend £100,000 a year for three years, or nearly three times the income that could be foreseen.
At the same time efforts have been made to maintain the fund at its original figure, £1,000,000, and the annual report published recently shows that on March 31 the fund stood at £970,000,

FOR CITIZENSHIP "Each year has shown that all over the country there are boys, and girls} growing up without the opportunities to develop the qualities of body, mind and character which the exercise of ellizenship in a democratic country requires," says the report in which un appeal for yet further help is made.
Of the £300,000, approximately £275,000 has been spent on general purposes and £27,000 on camping.
In the main these grants have been made to assist, strengthen and extend

GUARDS AGAINST....... NIGHT STARVATION
A consistently satisfactory feature of grant expenditure has been the amount of local support created.
"Generalisations are dangerous, but in the opinion of the Council it is safe to assume tint every pound ex- pended by them in grants has result- ed in at least a similar amount being found from local resources," it is slated.
Striking figures are given of the growth in membership of juvenile organisations helped by the Trust.
There are now 1,030 clubs with a membership of approximately 152,000. is the National Association of Boys' Clubs which received a grant .£10,000,

Jeeves Approves - Of Degree
THREE GREAT au- thorities on Shakespeare and sixteenth-century verse, the metaphysical poets and Milton, and Jeeves and Bertie Wooster walked to- gether to receive degrees of Doctor of Letters at Oxford recently.
They were Sir Edmund Cham- bera, Sir Herbert Grierson and Mr. P.-G. Wodehouso,
At his villa at Le Touquet
Mr. Wodehouse was somewhat shaken at the summons that reached the sandy, sun-dazzled shores of the French resort from the grey towers of Oxford.
He roused himself from the long chair on which he was reclining in his garden to talk about it.
"FEARED THE WORST"""
First he listened to congratulations. Then he laughed and sold: "Very kind of you. "But I know you're just as 'surprised as I am. Sturtled's the word, almost alarmed. It came by post.

"The thing is, they don't say why I'm to get the degree. You see, I don't know whether they give it just to literary people or to others as well, So I don't know exactly why I'm getting it."
"ALL FOR DIGNITY" There was silence on the line for a moment. P. G. was thinking it over. "Anyway, I'm going over to Oxford for it," he said at length. "It's to be something of an occasion, There is a garden party in the after- noon and a dinner at Christ Church in the evening. I have an invitation to stay with the Vice-Chancellor."
The reporter suggested that, at any rate, it showed what books the donis really read,

"I'm." he replied. "I've been thinking about that — what characters will have to say about it all. I should rather think Jeeves would approve... yes, definitely approve. I have to wear a gown that covers all my clothes and I don't think Jeeves would like that, he's so -particular about clothes. But, on the other hand, Jeeves in all for proper dignity.
"And there's Bertie Wooster. He wouldn't quite know what to make of it. Bo a bit startled, na I am.
"I was never at Oxford, although my brother was there. Nor have I ever written anything about Oxford because I don't know much about it. So I abull have all the more pleasure In my vialt, No, Mrs. Wodehouse won't be going with me. She I staying here.”
