A talk about what to eat and how to cook it, by Freddie Grisewood.
It has always been the policy of those sponsoring these programmes - both Janet Quigley of the BBC and the Ministry of Food - to have radio personalities broadcasting the talks rather than professional cooks. And so we have had, among others, Jeanne de Casalis, S.P.B. Mais, and Janet Chance, advising listeners on the Kitchen Front.
And now Freddie Grisewood - Iong wanted, but unobtainable because of his duties in the Empire programmes - is to talk every morning this week. Listeners have heard his broadcasts again and again with C. H. Middleton, and know the interest he takes in the garden he has made for himself in Surrey. To grow your own food is not a long step from cooking your own food.

Brahms's piano sonata in F minor,
Op. 5 (in five movements)
Cyril Smith 's first London recital in 1932 established his reputation, and since then he has appeared at most of the important concerts and festivals in this country. He was appointed Professor of Pianoforte at the Royal College of Music at the age of twenty-five.
Cyril Smith 's hobbies are golf, photography, and his garden. It takes many hours' work to be a successful pianist and teacher and the pianos (three of them) in Cyril Smith 's house are overworked from time to time, as his wife, Phyllis Sellick , is also a concert pianist.

The British Commonwealth
A discussion between H. V. Hodson and Collin Brooks
What has been the part played in the war by the self-governing dominions, by India, and by the dependencies ? Does their almost complete unanimity (Eire alone is neutral) tiold promise as a nucleus for collective security in the future ? Can we learn anything from the Empire at war (and from the problems of the Dutch, French, and Belgian colonies) which will help to solve problems of post-war administration ?
