Some of the finest choral singers in the world are to be found in the Huddersfield District of Yorkshire. The Huddersfield Glee and Madrigal Society are foremost among them. The Society came into existence some sixty-five years ago and specialised in singing madrigals long before madrigal singing became a vogue in Bloomsbury and Chelsea.
During the last war, the society had the distinction of singing at Westminster Abbey and at No. 10 Downing Street, to Mr. Lloyd George when he was Prime Minister. At one time the choir, now conducted by Roy Henderson , was conducted by Dr. Moody, of Ripon Cathedral.

Presented by Neil and Claxton at a seaside resort in Wales with Harry Neil , Tony Dalton , April Ross , Rene Horrox , Frederick Sharp , and Horace Freer and the Rhythm Boys

Crystal Pudney introduces some of the W.R.N.S. to speak for themselves In this interesting series, which Crystal Pudney introduced three weeks ago and described in an article in the RADIO Times last week, members of the wartime working Services are coming to the microphone to describe their jobs. We have heard about the A.T.S., and the F.A.N.Y.s, and the Land Army ; today it is the turn of the W.R.N.S., known to everyone since the last war affectionately as the Wrens.
Their job is to look after our sailors at the ports. They are the Navy which never goes to sea, but maintains on shore all the traditions of the Senior Service. Among those in the studio this evening will be Superintendent French, who trains all the W'.R.N.S. officers.

From a Northern theatre
When Schubert died, his ' Unfinished ' Symphony, which had never been performed during his lifetime, lay hidden somewhere in the town of Gratz. Ultimately, after years of fruitless search, the manuscript was found.
Why it remained unfinished, or whether, indeed, the composer's ultimate intention was ever to finish it at all, can never be known. We do know, however, that it was the work of a new Schubert, a genius for the first time probing the remoter depths of a mature imagination.
