It has become almost traditional for the last Nature Study broadcast of the term to be concerned with the seashore. Holidays are ahead, and the strand with its manifold life is open for all to explore.
C. C. Gaddum is taking an imaginary walk along the shore this afternoon. With him he has a young friend who will learn about such things as hermit crabs, sea anemones, starfish, and barnacles.
