' Livingstone'
A play by L. du Garde Peach
David Livingstone , the Scottish boy who became a great missionary and explorer, educated himself while working at a mill near Glasgow. In this play you will hear how he discovered the Zambesi in 1851 and Lake Nyasa in 1859, how the American newspaper-man Stanley led an expedition to find him when he disappeared somewhere in the heart of the Unknown Continent, and how, two years later, he died while making further explorations to discover the source of the Nile. The play was first broadcast in March. 1938.

Talks and discussions about conditions of life in Germany
1-' Hitler's Germany: 1933-40'
C. W. Guillebaud, University
Lecturer in Economics and Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge
This is the first of a new series designed to present listeners with various aspects of social life in Nazi Germany. Some of the speakers in the series will be Germans and others Englishmen well acquainted with the Germany of today. There will probably be more than one speaker at the microphone during each broadcast. So far six subjects have been decided upon, covering such topics as trade unionism, the Press,' sport, law, and so on. It is hoped that the series will be further extended.

Citizens' Advice Bureaux, of which some eight hundred have been established all over the country since the outbreak of war, give a free service of help and advice to anybody troubled or perplexed by personal or domestic problems. Sponsored by the National Council of Social Service, the Bureaux have been recognised by the Government as contributing towards the maintenance of the morale of the population during these difficult days.
A programme involving a visit to a Citizens' Advice Bureau in a South Wales town will be broadcast next Saturday at 12 noon. Listeners will be able to hear for themselves some of the questions and answers that pass to and fro between enquirer and official.
Contributions for the central fund will be gratefully acknowledged if addressed to the Rt. Hon. Arthur Greenwood , M.P., [address removed]
