One can imagine no more uphill game than trying to carry on a poultry club under war conditions, with members in the Services or engaged in civil defence, and food both expensive and difficult to get. But the Downham Poultry Club, near Bromley, Kent—one of the oldest poultry clubs in England—has succeeded in keeping the flag flying in spite of the blitz. The members still turn up and keep going despite the bombs. Members of other poultry clubs who have been finding it hard to carry on in wartime may find encouragement in this talk by the secretary of the Downham club today.

Richard Dering , who died in 1630, was educated in Italy and returned to England with a great musical reputation. He practised in London and later in Brussels as organist to the convent of English nuns. In 1625 he became one of Charles I's musicians and organist to Queen Htnrittta Maria.
Of his madrigals Sir Richard Terry has said that they may be described as ' the English madrigal -pure English madrigal-in its last phase '.

A play specially written for broadcasting by James Parish
Produced by Howard Rose
Here is a topical play about life as it is now lived in London by many of its inhabitants. Mrs. Purvis, her sixfeen-year-old son Douglas, and one of her lodgers, Mrs. Hallin, make their way to the Tube to spend the night there. Mr. Purvis, who has already reserved their places, goes off on his A.R.P. duties, and we see characteristic types of Londoners by night, brave, cheerful, undaunted and determined that we shall win the war.
