During the past year or so several notable feature programmes have been broadcast depicting the life and history of various European countries. Among these have been programmes on Norway, Finland, Austria, France, and Poland.
' The Face of Sweden ' carries on this tradition, and will present a picture of this great Northern democracy where poverty has been abolished, farming scientifically planned, and education carried on at the highest peak of efficiency. These aspects of modem Sweden will form the last third of the programme, the other parts of which will cover Sweden of the Vikings, and Sweden of the days of Charles XII and Gustav Adolphus , when her soldiers swept through Europe.
Karl Rodnor Gierow, eminent
Swedish poet, is a leading exponent of the radio feature programme on the Continent.
