Old and new crops of the West, by A. W. Ling and Ralph Wightman
Flax for sails and hemp for rope were old-time crops grown through the ages in the West of England. The King's ships sailed the seas secure and lovely with sails set that had sprung from West-Country soil; and the hangman's noose was once known as the Bridport Dagger.
A. W. Ling, of Bristol University, has been broadcasting on farming from the West for years. Ralph Wightman is well known in Dorset farm circles.

Quartet in F (K. 370) for oboe, violin, viola, and cello played by Leon Goossens (oboe) ; Jean Pougnet (violin) ; Frederick Riddle (viola) ; and Anthony Pini (cello)
Mozart's Quartet (K.370), written in Munich in 1781 for his friend, the oboist Friedrich Ramm , is serenade-like in character, though the D minor adagio sounds a graver note. Abert, the greatest modern authority on Mozart, draws attention to the richly varied recapitulation section of the first movement and remarks that' the final rondo, on a theme showing pronounced French influence, is made particularly attractive by the surprising and humorous way in which the principal subject always makes its appearance '.
The story of three generations :
1870, 1914, 1940 by Maurice Thiery
A weekly gathering of famous folk
The regulars include :
The Master of Ceremonies
Richard Goolden as Old Ebenezer, the night watchman, who has a dramatic story to tell
The Court of Melody
Tunes are on trial and the ear is evidence and the guest of the week
Weekly meetings organised by Gladys and Clay Keyes and presented by Eric Spear
Old Ebenezer is becoming as synonymous with Richard Goolden as is Syd Walker with ' Mr. Walker wants to know '. The only difference is that the latter gives listeners a human problem to solve, while the former tells a human story. If Syd represents all that is best in the way of radio comedians, with a touch of character, Richard represents all that is best in the way of character actors, with a touch of comedy.
He created the part of Mr. Mole in Toad of Toad Hall, both in the theatre and before the microphone. He figured in all du Garde Peach's plays, both in the series, ' The Roads of England ' and ' The Waterways of England '. But perhaps his most memorable performance was his lovely creation of Mr. Chips on the air.

Prelude (from Farrago) Symphony in G minor played by BBC Orchestra
(Section A)
Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
E. J. Moeran 's Symphony in G minor was completed early in 1937 and was first performed at a Royal Philharmonic Concert in January, 1938, under Leslie Heward , and later irt the year it was again performed under Sir Henry Wood at a Promenade concert.
It is an entirely serious work, firm in stature but not unbending. In mood it ranges from an extremely tender lyricism to a rugged, strongly rhythmical vitality. It says much for the constructive skill of the composer that the marked contrast between these extremes of mood never detracts from the continuity of each of the four movements.
