W. S. Mansfield and J. M. Engledow
Here is a talk of vital interest to the backyarder, for whether he keeps rabbits or hens, pigeons or pigs, meal and corn about the place are bound to attract rats and mice. And then the trouble and the waste start.
W. S. Mansfield , who gave the farming talks about a year ago, is Director of Cambridge University Farm, and J. M. Engledow is a vermin exterminator he relies on.

or 'What They Say! '
Michael Standing finds out the things that some people won't be doing next year
Amongst those he will attempt to interview will be many well-known radio personalities
The music played by the Dance Orchestra, conducted by Billy Ternent
Presented by Ronald Waldman and Bill MacLurg
On New Year's Eve, 1937, Thomas Woodrooffe was to be seen with a microphone outside St. Paul's Cathedral, and for the first time strangers were interviewed in the street and their New Year resolutions broadcast to the world at large.
The idea proved so popular that it was introduced in ' In Town
Tonight ' in October, 1938, with Michael Standing as interviewer taking a microphone to Piccadilly Circus. This feature ' Standing on the Corner ' soon became as popular as any broadcast programme. The last interviews of the kind Standing carried out were even more ambitious. From a position outside St. George's Hall he interviewed strangers in various provincial towns. Now he is to fire his questions at various radio stars in Variety Town, no doubt with amusing results.
