Reminiscences from previous years and recorded impressions of today's opening of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
Produced by W. Farquharson Small
Today the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland begins its annual deliberations in Edinburgh, but because of the war the opening will be shorn of much of its traditional pageantry. Instead of the customary broadcasts of pre-war days, arrangements have been made to take recordings of the important speeches at the opening ceremony in the Assembly Hall, and these will be heard in a special feature programme of historical and dramatic incidents in the annals of this great Parliament of the Scottish Church.

Mozart was not quite nineteen when his opera La Finta Giardiniera was produced. It was commissioned by the Elector of Bavaria for the Munich Carnival of 1775, and had a remarkable success, though Mozart later revised it considerably. The story is built upon the conventional ruses and confusions of stage love intrigue, in which a girl disguises herself as a gardener. Some of the situations foreshadow in a striking way the big ensembles in Figaro and Don Giovanni.

This is the story of the farmer from harvest 1940 to spring 1941. Upon his skill and devotion to the land depends half the battle of the Atlantic. All the speakers in the programme are farmers or farm workers.
