Today's programme does full justice to the Scout movement, and has been planned to include Scout news from all over the world, as well as talks and national songs from Scouts in foreign countries.
A Polish Scout will represent
Scouts in exile; an Indian Scout will speak for Asia, and a Canadian
Scout for North America. Lord
Hampton will speak for Australasian Scouts, and the programme will conclude with a message from Lord Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout.

Seventh edition
Presented by Bill MacLurg
A weekly programme introducing famous detectives of fact and fiction

1 - 'Barton of the Yard' presenting Ex.-Detective-Inspector Jack Henry, late of New Scotland Yard, in 'Muffled Oars'
Written by Jack Henry and Patrick K. Heale

2 - 'Who Broke the Law?'
A series written by Charles Hatton showing how easy it is for the man-in-the-street to break the law quite unknowingly. Listen carefully and see if you can discover the way in which the law is broken

3 - 'Meet the Arrow'
A new series of detective adventures written by Ernest Dudley
Production by Bill MacLurg
Meet Stephen Arrow - an entirely new radio detective who makes his bow in this evening's edition of 'Crime Magazine.' Arrow is a humorous cynic, with a not always happy penchant for whistling a certain tune. Thus his identity is rather inclined to be revealed.
There will be at least six of these Arrow episodes, and in each of them Arrow himself will tell the story, linking together dramatic episodes.

Bigger! Louder!! Crazier!!! The return of 'Danger - Men at Work!'
(Or 'How to speak with a gag in your mouth')
with Haver and Lee as the 'Men-at-Work'
Jacques Brown as Nikolus Ridikoulos
Doris Nichols as Mrs. Ponsonby
Virginia Dawn as the switchboard girl
The Bell Hops
The Hotel Mimoar Dance Orchestra batoned down by Billy Ternent

The scene is the super-super Hotel Mimoar, sole prop. Mrs. Ponsonby. Large parties taken in and done for. You can blame Max Kester for anything that happens. (Any resemblance to any persons living or dead will be a miracle)
