    Bourn Drama Group—Tons of Money. Cambridge Brotherhood Band—Christmas morning Carols. The Preliminary Drama Festival organized by the Cambs., Hunts., and Isle of Ely Com¬ munity Council was also held for two nights in the Village Hall. These entertainments, together with the frequent dances and whist drives organized by the various Clubs and Societies and the weekly cinema show, which has gone on without a break since the Village Hall was built in 1927, provide ample entertainment for all. T. C. M. JOHNSON. R. R. TRAIL, Medical Director. OUR OVERSEAS VISITORS We have often, in our literature, referred to Papworth as the most comprehensive scheme for the rehabilitation of the tuberculous in the world. In our earlier years, when the Settlement was unique, this could hardly be doubted ; but over the past thirty years the Village Settlement idea has taken root, and with the many similar organizations which have come into existence during that time it may be felt that this claim is now somewhat extravagant. Every year, however, it becomes increasingly evident from the large number of doctors, medical authorities, social workers and students who visit us from every country in the world that Papworth is still the foremost example of its kind, and the following extracts from our Visitor’s Book for 1949 will give some idea of the growing reputation which the Settlement has established abroad as the leading authority on the ‘tripartite’ principle of treatment, rehabilita¬ tion and re-settlement in sheltered employment.
