Keeping the poultry flock going by Alan Thompson and Frank Sykes
Our egg supplies depend on the general farmer and backyarder. The general farmer is in a particularly favourable position to produce eggs as not only has he a certain amount of surplus grain and roots but the laying flock improve the land. There are not, however, many farmers who make full use of the 'folded' hen for adding to the fertility of their pasture. In this talk Alan Thompson , well known in small poultry-keeping circles, will discuss with Frank Sykes , a Wiltshire farmer, who folds up to 10,000 hens on the Downs, how a farm poultry unit could be started and how to make the best use of waste.

Conductor, Gideon Fagan
As a child in the Australian Bush, Florence Austral was more at home with horses than with music. She used to sing little songs as an amateur, and then for the fun of the thing entered for a competitive musical festival in her teens. She was heard by the director of the Melbourne Conservatoire and became a student there. She came to this country and studied at the London School of Opera, making her operatic debut in 1922 at Covent Garden as Brunnhilde in The Valkyrie. She is universally recognised as one of the greatest operatic singers of our time.

Symphony No. 2, in B minor Borodin
The history of Borodin's Second Symphony is closely linked with that of his opera Prince Igor. The first ideas for the symphony occurred to him early in 1869, but in April of that year Stassov suggested the opera subject to him, and for a time he devoted all his energies to Igor. Then he decided (temporarily) that the subject was unsuitable. ' Don't worry about it ', he wrote to Stassov. ' The material won't be wasted. It will all go into my Second Symphony.'
Accordingly the first movement of the symphony was written in 1871. During the period 1874-76 he was working at both opera and symphony, and the last two movements of the symphony were based on. themes originally intended for an epilogue to Igor.
