In the Town Hall
The Municipal Orchestra
(under the direction of Hyam Greenbaum ) will render a collection of popular items from their repertoire
Reported by Ted Kavanagh
Produced by Francis Worsley
Summer is at an end. The municipal orchestras will no longer be heard in the Grove Gardens, or the Grotto, but they will be heard in the Town Hall, and that is just as good. The orchestra has a vast repertoire, chiefly of popular classics, and the ticket-collector, Longstick (played by Dick Francis ), is always very discursive about this. Various characters flit in and out of the programme, played by Vera Lennox , Gwen Lewis , and a recent addition-the ever-popular Reginald Purdell.

Lancashire folk
The voice of the Cotton Towns today
Presented by Wilfred Pickles
Arranged and produced by D. G. Bridson
Here is the first of a series of programmes in which the workers of Great Britain can freely express their opinions of the war as they find it. They will be speaking as ' people in the front line '.
Besides individual speakers, groups, singers, and choirs will take part, and they will combine to give some idea of the driving spirit which will have to be crushed before morale can be broken down. It is hoped that a large Lancashire choir will broadcast in this the first of the series.
