which will be demolished.

The other chief purpose of the Library is to distribute films to schools and other approved Institu- tions using non-theatrical films for educational purposes, It is intend. ed that this section of the Library shall become the central source for the supply of such films In this country, and that it shall provide the starting point for an organised system of decentralisation, whereby these flims may be supplied to

schoola from local centre.

Naturally, a scheme so far reaching in its scope cannot be set up in a day. As a first step the Governors of the Film Institute are instituting an appeal for films and funds. There is a large number of films in existence-amateur, in- dustrial, filma ninde for purposes of scientific research, publicity films of both public and private bodies, travel films, and the like-which it would seem reasonable to collect and distribute from one source. There is also a large number of films of considerable value lying idle in the possession both of private persons and of companies. It is for films such as these that the appeal is being made.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS

The Governors of the Film In- stitute have also decided to organise an appeal for funds on a national scale. Commonlentions should be sent to, The Duke of Sutherland, Film Library Appeal, British Film Institute, 4 Great Russell Street, London, W.C.1.

The city's boundaries are to be extended by more than 70,000

acres.

Two now boulevards will skirt the city on the east and west, running through the chain of parks,, and 11 new bridges will span the river.
