This year it has been decided to adopt a form of presentation somewha t different from the pattern established in earlier years . Instead of openin g the Report with a general survey, and following this with sections devote d to the particular interests of the several departments of the office, th e Report takes the form of a series of monographs dealing with topics of general interest, followed by separate memoranda for Scotland an d Wales, Appendices of strictly departmental interest, and the Accounts. Another innovation consists in the adornment of the Report wit h reproductions of seven drawings by Ceri Richards, as follows : La Cath6drale Engloutie I page 7 Trafalgar Square 17 Ariel sings in `The Tempest ' 35 Clair de Lune 49 Music of Colours : `White Blossom' 65 (poem by Vernon Watkins) La Cath6drale E.ngloutie II 77 Poissons d'Or 107 The term of office of the following members of the Council came to an Council end on December 31st, 1963 : Mr A. L. C. Bullock The Viscount Mackintosh of Halifax , Professor Gwyn Jones D.L., LL.D. Professor Anthony Lewis Mr Hugh Marshall, O .B.E. Mr Hugh Willatt Mr Bullock, Viscount Mackintosh and Mr Marshall were not eligibl e for reappointment . Mr Marshall had served as a member of the Scottis h Committee since the beginning of 1951, and was appointed to the Council in January 1961 . We are glad to see that his services to music in Scotlan d have been recognised by the award of an O .B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for 1964. The Chancellor of the Exchequer reappointed Professor Gwyn Jones , Professor Anthony Lewis and Mr Hugh Willatt to serve as Council members for a further period, and appointed Mr Henry Moore, O .M., C.H., D.Litt., A.R.I.B.A., the Earl of Snowdon and Professor D . Talbo t Rice, M .B .E., T.D., D.Litt., F.S.A., as new members of the Council . Welsh Committee The Council appointed Professor Gwyn Jones to serve for a furthe r term as Chairman of the Welsh Committee . Vice- Chairman The Council reappointed Professor Sir William Coldstream, C .B.E., D.Litt., to serve as Vice-Chairman for a further period of one year from January 1st, 1964 . Executive The Council reappointed the following to serve as members of th e Committee Executive Committee and, where indicated, as Chairmen of the Panel s shown against their names, for a period of one year from January 1st , 1964: Mr Ernest Bean, C .B.E. Sir William Coldstream, C .B.E., D.Litt. Mr C. Day Lewis, C.B .E. (Poetry) Professor Gwyn Jone s Professor Anthony Lewis (Music) Mr Colin Mackenzie, C .M.G. Mr Hugh Willatt (Drama) Mr John Witt (Art ) Honours In addition to the honour to Mr Hugh Marshall mentioned above, we offer our congratulations to Mr M . J . McRobert, the Deputy Secretary , and to Mr. William Glock, a member of the Music Panel, on the award of a C.B.E. Obituaries The Council records with deep regret the deaths of the Viscount Esher , G.B.E . (October 8th, 1963), the Lord Harlech, K .G., P.C., G.C.M.G. (February 14th, 1964), Mr Wynyard Browne (February 19th, 1964) an d Mr Joseph Compton, C .B.E. (February 27th, 1964) . Both Lord Esher and Lord Harlech were original members of the Arts Council . Lord Harlech served as Chairman of the Welsh Committee until he retired from the Council in December 1948 . Lord Esher, who had a life-long interest in tl.e theatre, served for a time as Chairman of the Council's Drama Panel . He retired from the Council on December 31st, 1948 . Mr Wynyard Brown e served on the Council's Drama Panel from the beginning of 1955 until his death this year . Mr Compton was a member of the Council and o f the Executive Committee for a period of thirteen years until his retire- ment at the end of 1961 . He was first Chairman of the Poetry Panel, a n office which he held for twelve years, and first Chairman of the Poetry Book Society . Mr Compton has generously left the residue of his Estate , subject to the interest of a life tenant, to establish a trust fund to b e known as the 'Compton Poetry Fund '. The Council will make a further announcement when these funds become available . Secretary- General Local Authority Support Ends and Means, the Arts Council's report for 196263, contained the following sentence (p . 6) : ` . the [annual] expenditure of local authori- ties on all forms of entertainment is certainly far less than the permissible 50 million pounds, and possibly not much more than the taxpayer s' contri- bution of nearly 3 million pounds.' Throughout the year 196364 now under review, there was still no firm basis of fact to substitute for such guesswork, but in April 1964 the Institute of Municipal Entertainment published A Survey of Municipal Entertainment in England and Whales for the two years 194748 and 1961 162, from which it now appears that our guess was near the mark: the net expenditure of local authorities in England and Wales in 196162 on all forms of entertainment is there given as just over 21 million pounds . There are technical reasons, connecte d with the conduct of the survey, for believing that this figure is conserva- tive; but when all such allowances are made, and another guess fo r Scotland, and an assumption about progress since 196162, it can be taken as certain that the present scale of the ratepayers' contribution t o `entertainment' is about equal to the taxpayers' contribution to the work of the Arts Council. Taken by itself, that is not a specially significant correlation (except a s substantiating one point made in Ends and Means, namely that the scope for increased expenditure by local authorities is far greater than an y probable development on the Exchequer side) . The Arts Council's concern is with `the fine arts exclusively', which are only a part of `entertainment', however strongly we may hold the opinion that they are the best and most important part . Even if, for example, the permissive Section 13 2 of the Local Government Act of 1948 were made mandatory, this need not directly lead to any increased expenditure on the arts at all . In the lat e Aneurin Bevan's own constituency, the Urban District Council of Ebb w Vale spent practically the whole of a sixpenny rate on entertainment i n 196162, but their net expenditure on `cultural' entertainment was barely more than the equivalent of a penny rate.

  • The Charles Harrison Collection of 'Concorde' Covers, Cards And
    First Session Lots 501–951 Monday May 23rd at 2 pm The Charles Harrison Collection of ‘Concorde’ Covers, Cards and Ephemera Charles Harrison (1924–2008) Most people will have their own memories of Concorde but for Charles Harrison, living only a few miles from R.A.F. Fairford, it will be the moment the British assembled Concorde prototype 002 touched down at 2.46pm on 9 April, 1969. Charles watched Concorde fly along the same flight path many times and never tired of hearing the roar of the engines and seeing the aircraft turning over Highworth, his home town, on its approach into the Fairford airfield. At the age of 15 Charles joined the Royal Air Force (1939) as an engineer apprentice and during the Second World War served in North Africa, Malta, Sicily and Italy as ground crew. Not one to miss an opportunity, Charles began to collect autographs from movie stars and entertainers on their visits to the troops. After the war he was stationed in Rhodesia and on leaving the RAF joined Vickers Armstrong at South Marston as a flight test inspector. Around the same time some of Concorde’s future pilots were Vickers Armstrong’s test pilots. In the 1950s Charles was involved with the Supermarine Swift, a single seat jet fighter, which could reach supersonic speed in a slight dive and it is not surprising that this is where Charles interest in supersonic flight and Concorde began. From Concorde’s early days at the Fairford Flight Test Centre to its commercial retirement, Charles arranged through friends and flight contacts for covers to be carried on many of Concorde’s flights including the development flights.
