Baden-Powell Films Vanish

The Chief Scout, Lord Baden-Powell, appealed recently for the return of a film projector, screen, and nine reels of film taken from a car belonging to his daughter, the Hon. Heather Baden-Powell, parked in Westbourne-terrace, Bayswater, W., on November 2.

The films are pictures of his world travels and of his grandchildren.

At the home of Lord Baden-Powell in Bentley, Hampshire, it was announced: "Miss Heather is at present recovering from an accident in the hunting field.

"She left her car outside the flat in London during the night, and when she went to drive it away in the morning she discovered her loss.

"She immediately got in touch with her father, who is now in Kenya, and it was decided to appeal for the return of the films."
