' Country into Town '
F. G. Thomas
This is the third of the new series in which F. G. Thomas is reviewing the very real problems of population drift in Britain today.
The towns themselves are spreading farther and farther over the countryside, and ribbon development is changing the face of the land and the lives of the people. The relationship between the townsmen and countrymen is constantly changing, and it is probably true that the two, year by year, come to know each other better.
In the studio this evening
F. G. Thomas hopes to have with him a number of town and country dwellers. These people will discuss why the city attracts the young countrymen, what is lacking in village life, and what kind of rural reform might be successful in keeping the English countryman on the land.
