MOTHER'S GIFT OF £40,000
. A tragic: story lies behind the announcement that Mrs. Odo Cross, oi Stocknersh Manor, Brightling, Sussex, has given £40,000 to the Medical Kesearch Council for tuberculosis research. Two years ago Mrs. Cross lost two of her children within a few days of each other from tuberculosis. One was her daughter, Miss Dorothy Temple Cross, and the other her son, Mr. Temple Cross. Both were in their twenties. All that money and medical science could do to save their lives had been done. Both had undergone special treatment by worldfamous specialists and had in vain sought health in tho South of France. Miss Cross left a fortune of £40,000 to her mother, who has now decided to devote the whole of it as a memorial to her son and daughter for the relief of other sufferers from tuberculosis. The announcement of the gift states that "the amount in question is the, total sum received by Sirs. Odo Cross in respect of her daughter's estate, no part of which does she desire to retain for her own benefit." It is stipulated that the money should be used for the endowment of a trust for the establishment of research in the study of tuberculosis to be known as the "Dorothy Tempi* Cross Ecseareh Fellowship Fund.'?
