2.5 Travel Talks
' Ceylon '
F. MCDERMOTT
Captain McDermott is to show you Colombo and its wonderful harbour, which is such an imposing sight in the daytime and such a lovely sight at night. He will tell you about its lighthouse, situated strangely enough in a main street with a Cingalese policeman stationed underneath directing the traffic. Then he will take you to the station in a rickshaw and twenty miles by train to Negombo, where coconut palms grow everywhere and everyone lives out of them.
Then he will take you up-country to Kandy. And finally you will learn why the islands between Ceylon and India are called Adam's Bridge.

BERNARD SHAW
For the first time Bernard Shaw is to talk to Sixth Forms. His listeners, many of whom will have seen or read his plays and prefaces, will be astonished if they hear a conventional talk. They will not be surprised if this brilliant iconoclast goes on breaking images and tells them not to prize too highly the academic way to knowledge and a career. Shaw took his own line of country in a manner that was as spectacular as it was successful, and he may advise some of his listeners who have the courage, to do the same.
