Get out your pencils and your paper
A twenty-minute diversion devised by Harry S. Pepper and presented by Douglas Moodie

For the first time 'Puzzle Corner', which proved so popular an item in 'Monday Night at Seven', becomes a feature on its own.
Everything to attract those nimble wits who love to try their hand at solving conundrums or finding the answer to difficult questions will find a place in it - musical puzzles, anagrams, general knowledge tests.

One of the novel features to be introduced this evening is a recital of limericks by four different speakers, whose ages listeners will be asked to guess. Listeners can send in their own limericks, too.

But all who like taxing their ingenuity should make a note of November 21, when 'Puzzle Corner' will introduce a new item which is likely to put all the others in the shade. Full details will be announced in good time.
