Kenneth Bradley describes a day spent hunting reindeer in South Georgia, not far from the Antarctic Circle
Kenneth Bradley is perhaps best known generally as the author of ' Diary of a District Officer,' written during his Rhodesian Service, Lut since that period he has acted as Colonial and Financial Secretary, Falkland Islands, and as Under-Secretary, Gold Coast.
It was while he was serving in the Falkland Islands that he paid a visit to South Georgia, and the reindeer hunt described in this talk took place. The reindeer were imported by Norwegians attached to a whaling station and are the only animals of their kind to be found in the Southern hemisphere

2 — ' Lord George Entertains an Old Flame'
Cast in order of speaking:
(Continued in next column)
Mary Lovelace, only child of the Dean of Brotherton, has married Lord George Germain, brother and heir of the Marquis of Brotherton, and with him has gone to live at Manor Cross, the gloomy old mansion that is the absent Marquis's family seat. But Lord George, fourteen years older than his lovely young wife, is dull and narrow-minded. The sisters, who share the house, are sternly critical of the young bride. Mary, who has married largely to please her father, is not at all happy; and the Dean begins to wonder whether he did wisely to encourage the match.

Some reflections by Denis Johnston
Denis Johnston has recently returned to Dublin via London after a year in the United States. Perhaps it is the contrast between life in the United States and life in Eire and in this country that has caused him to review his own philosophy. ' We have no need,' he says, * to envy our grandfathers the peace and prosperity of the nineteenth century if we accept the advantages of the times we live in realistically.'
