A new type of spelling-bee suggested by Morley Adams and presented by Neil Munro with F. H. Grisewood as master of ceremonies
In this game players themselves will think of the words their opponents have to spell. For example, the first player gives his opposite number a word to spell ; if that player spells it correctly he wins a point. If he fails, the player who gave the word must prove that he can spell it himself in order to win a point. If neither player can spell the word no point is awarded.

Suite: Karelia (1 Intermezzo. 2
Ballade. 3 Alia marcia)
Symphony No. 3, in C played by BBC Orchestra
(Section A), Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Sibelius's Suite 'Karelia', Op. 11, was published in 1906 and like ' Finlandia' has a strong national flavour. Karelia forms the extreme south-eastern province of Finland, and is the source of most of the popular national legends. The Karelians have been described by a Finnish writer as representative of the livelier and more sensitive type as opposed to the steadier Tavast or Western Finn. It is the Karelian, ' a bqrn poet and a born trader', that Sibelius portrays in his overture.
Third Symphony
In its remoteness Sibelius's Symphony No. 3 certainly has an affinity with the No. 4, but whereas the latter is sombre and tense in character, the former is almost light-spirited. If it had been intended to be programme music one might imagine a story of some character like a Quilp, or even a Till, of Finnish mythology. Consisting of only three movements, the work is a masterpiece of orchestral technique, especially the string writing.
