James McCafferty has been regularly on the air since August, 1922, and was the first artist to broadcast from
Belfast in 1924. On the advice of the late
H. Plunket Greene , with whom he studied for six years, he devoted himself to the study of Irish songs. McCafferty has broadcast in the U.S.A. and Canada and is at present working on the script of an Irish film. He has earned for himself the reputation of being one of the greatest interpreters of Irish songs.

' Canada '
The first of a series of talks by people from other parts of the Commonwealth and Empire to remind us that we are all in this war for freedom together
It is incorrect to imagine we are alone in the struggle against Nazi tyranny: Great Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, as well as India and the British Colonial Empire are all in it together.
On alternate Tuesdays' in this series members of the Dominion
Forces in this country will be interviewed by someone who knows.their Dominion well ; every other week, on Sundays, visitors from various parts of the British Colonial Empire will also be speaking of the lands from which they come. It is hoped in this way to illustrate the unity in diversity which is the surest token of the Empire's ultimate victory.

'Shipbuilding'
A progress report on Britain's industrial war drive
Produced by Alan Melville

This programme, the fifth in the series on industry's greatest speed-up, deals in particular with that river of ships-the Clyde.

The speed-up has not come suddenly to the Clyde: since the beginning of the war, and before, the Clyde yards have been working full time and overtime. But in these last few months the clang of riveting and the general pace of work in the yards has been increased on Clydeside. Tonight the men who have built-and are still building - the greatest ships in the world will tell of the speed-up in their own vitally important jobs.
