God rest him, fitting symbol of B.E.A.'s first phase. 



What luck is ours to have seen the birth of a new 

 Dominion, under such circumstances and in the midst of such 

 surroiuidings — motor cars and lions, steam-ploughs and eland, 

 sisal decorticators and rhinos, flax factories and elephants, cow 

 punchers and sanitary experts — was there ever before such a 

 fascinating interweaving of the pleiocene and the futurist ! 



Where else shall the halt and the lame, the war-inspired 

 and all the restless aftermath of Armageddon find such a home 

 as B.E.A. ? The ice-slopes of Kenia and the hell-scarps of 

 Rudolph, cocoanuts and edelweiss are the limits of our range. 



B.E.A. IS the Wild a' calling ro every wild Brilish man - 

 calling in the note that is specially attuned to each. 



So here's luck to your book, and a welcome from B.E.A. to 

 every responsive soul it reaches. 



Yours, 

 EWART S. GROG AN.
