SUSSEX DOWNS

[To the Editor of-TILE SPECTATOR.] Simi-L.-That glorious ridge of hills behind Worthing is gradually being submerged by the builder, and, whatever is submerged, is lost for ever.

At the moment, the key position, known as the Honeysuckle Lane district, is being threatened, to the dismay of nature lovers.

Miss Nancy Price and Mr. John Oxenham are leading a campaign to save this position for all time. Unless £i6,000 is raised quickly, the option will expire and the opportunity will be gone.

Many readers May wish to be associated in this work, and contributions or promises may be sent to the Midland Bank, Worthing. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the contributions

will be returned in full.—Yours faithfully, JAMES BIBBY, Victoria Station House, Joint Trustee. Victoria 'Street, London, S.W.r.
