' Somewhere in England '
Arranged and presented by Victor Smythe
by John Morgan , M.P., followed by ' The handyman among the bees' by Reginald Gamble
With bee-keeping playing such an important part in agriculture, Reginald Gamble is deeply concerned not only about the rise in prices of bee appliances but also about the shortage of timber, metal, and so forth required for their manufacture. It may well be that many a bee-keeper, old or new, can now neither afford nor procure the manufactured article. And that is where the handyman comes in, Necessity being the mother of invention, he uses his wits. He will utilise a length of timber here, a sheet of metal there, and Gamble in his talk will give him a hint or two about cutting them up and putting them together. Bee-keepers, like everybody else, are planning ahead, war or no war. The Newcastle and District Bee-keepers' Association, for instance, have already arranged a course of instruction for the spring, and they have just booked Gamble to give a lecture next February.

Many and varied as have been her successes, she will always be remembered for her lovely performance of Sara in Bitter Sioeet.
