A short story written for broadcasting by Graham Sutton and read by the author
For an accomplished and enthusiastic mountaineer to be instrumental in breaking the most famous ' needle ' in Lakeland the future is black indeed. How can he hope to live down his shame in the eyes of his fraternity ?
This is what happens to the teller of this light-hearted tale, though it should be explained that the deplorable incident is oddly connected with a visit to the dentist. Graham Sutton is himself a keen mountaineer, and has broadcast ' The Man Who Broke the Needle ' several times.

This is the last of Sir Harry Lauder's group of three broadcasts. The irrepressible Sir Harry needs little introduction to his listeners, and he has proved himself once more just as much a master of the microphone as of the footlights.
Since his last two broadcasts Sir
Harry has been inundated with letters, and as ' The Broadcasters' mentioned last week, he has found it impossible to reply personally to all of these. Among them were two gifts of money for charity, one of 23s. The sender of this explained that two years ago he heard Sir Harry making an appeal and intended to contribute a guinea. He put the matter off, but now sent it with 2s. added for interest. Both the senders of money were Scotsmen!
