So far broadcasts in this series have. been concerned with coal and coal mining ; the nature of coal ; its discovery ; its effect on industry ; and so forth. But the last two broadcasts take on a more human note. There could be no mining without the collier ; and today listeners are to hear about his life underground-his work, skill, esprit de corps, and heroism. In the final broadcast next week they will hear about the collier in his home-his wife and children and surroundings.
