He has never given up poultry-keeping. On his forty acres in Sussex he has about 300 hens, and he feeds them himself before going to work every morning. His life experience he passes on to you.

They will be introduced by Crystal

Today we are to hear something of the war-lives of the F.A.N.Y.s and the A.T.S. ; then week by week for seven weeks other workers will be brought to the microphone: the Land Army, the factory workers, the W.R.N.S., and the W.A.A.F.s ; the nurses ; tht war wives, whether of men in the Forces or those who with their men are working stirrup-pumps.

The Sleeping Beauty, one of Tchaikovsky's own favourite works, was commissioned by Vsevolozhsky, the Director of the Russian Imperial Theatres, to whom it is dedicated and who himself prefaced a scenario from Perrault's tale. Tchaikovsky
' worked at the score with pleasure, and the' whole three-act ballet was composed — not orchestrated, of course-in little more than a month. The Sleeping Beauty was produced at St. Petersburg in January, 1890. The music shows Tchaikovsky at vs best. He was probably the createst of all composers of ballet niusic.

Adapted from Rudyard Kipling 's Jungle Stories and produced by Maurice Brown
The years go by, but ' The Jungle Book ' still retains its first popularity with readers of all ages. The adventures of Mowgli, the boy who was fostered by the wolves and who learned to call every animal of the jungle by the name of brother, have the eternal attraction of simplicity. Later imitations, such as the notorious Tarzan, only throw into higher relief the simple charm of Mowgli.
Maurice Brown, who adapted the ' Just-So Stories' of Kipling so admirably, should prove himself to be equally at home with Tabagui the jackal, Bagheera the panther, and the tiger Shere Khan-to say nothing of the Bandar Log !
Records of good jazz
