'How to start bee-keeping ' by R. Gamble
Mainly as a result of the Board of Education's recent broadcast appeal to schools to take up bee-keeping, Reginald Gamble is to explain to listeners just how to start. Now is the time-not too late to read up the subject, nor too late to begin. Do not attempt to, says Gamble, unless you feel you will have a liking for it, and the time to give. Neglect means disease. More bee-keepers are wanted but not the kind who think there will be nothing to do but collect honey.
In his talk this evening he will include advice to those who have already made a start and are not getting the best out of their bees and therefore not helping to the full in the war effort to produce more honey.

and his Orchestra

Solo violin, Ida Haendel (See' Radio Music ', p. 5)
This brilliant young Polish virtuoso, who broadcast the Brahms Violin Concerto in D last month with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Henry Wood , in a Beecham Sunday Concert, was born in Poland seventeen years ago. She began to play the violin at the age of three. Her gift was discovered when she picked up her sister's violin and to the amazement of everyone began to play a tune that her mother used to sing to her. Her career decided on, her father abandoned his own career as a painter to devote himself to his young daughter, witrt whom he travels everywhere.
Ida Haendel began her studies in the Conservatorium in Warsaw and [Home Service continued overleaf won the Gold Medal at the age of ten. Since then she has studied with great masters of the violin in Paris and London. She has already played all over the Continent and has been everywhere acclaimed.

A programme in memory of the Chief Scout, arranged by F. Haydn -
Dimmock This feature programme in honour of the Chief Scout, who died last month, was broadcast on January 11 at short notice; so short that it was not even announced in the RADIO
Times. The result was that many Scouts missed hearing it, and they will welcome this recorded repeat broadcast today, especially as this would have been Baden-Powell's eighty-fourth birthday had he lived.
The programme is not a funeral ode but a story of happy adventure and a tribute to the spirit of the man who defended Mafeking in one of the most thrilling sieges in history, and founded the world-wide organisation of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides that is so thriving at the present day.
