2.0 Eyes and no Eyes:
' The Place we Live In '
Edith E. Macqueen
Here is the first broadcast of a new course that will be of particular interest to city youngsters living for the first time in the country. There are many new and interesting things for them to see and do, and much for them to find out. These broadcasts will encourage the children to keep ears and eyes wide open and begin really to understand and enjoy the places where they find themselves. The broadcasts will contain short dramatic interludes dealing with all sorts of aspects of rural life.
Today you will be taken to a village smithy where some of the town children have come to watch the smith at his work.
