A programme for children under five
A mother once wondered what the volume of noise would be if we could hear the collective ' Yes ' that issued each day from our young audience in answer to 'Are you sitting comfortably? ' The sound would certainly be impressive, though mingled with its general affirmative we might detect an occasional ' No, but I shall be in a minute,' or ' am, but granny hasn't got her cup of tea yet.' We should certainly hear the protest of one small boy who tells the lady every day that he is lying on daddy's bed.' But whatever the reply, there is not much doubt that all those listeners who are old enough to understand and enjoy th: stories, are always eager for I the lady ' to begin. Today, on Wednesday, and on Friday Daphne Oxenford will tell them respectively Ruth Borchard's story about Inga's birthday presents, Ursula Hourihane's ' The Old Toymaker,' and MarRaret Gore's Story about a Teddy Bear.'
Tomorrow, Julia Lang tells again ' The Cow and the Puffer Train ' by Margaret Fox, and on Thursday Dorothy Smith tells
Dorothy Stucky's ' The Canary Who Wouldn't Sing.' Elizabeth A. Taylor
