Personal portraits of Mao-tse-Tung, Chou-en-Lai, and Chu-Teh by Arthur Mathers
How are we to follow what is happening in China without being confused? Might it not be helpful to know something about the Chinese Communist leaders who now control the bulk of this vast country ot 500 million people? Arthur Mathers , who was formerly Far Eastern Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph and for the last nine years has been in the Far East, has seen Chinese Communism in operation in many areas* His long discussions with these three Communist leaders enable him to portray them in a colourful and intimate way.

Jerome K. Jerome 's famous sequel to ' Three Men In A Boat' dramatised for radio by John Jowett with Joan Clement Scott
Georgie Henschel , John Sharp Dennis McCarthy. Ian Sadler Production by Vernon Harris
What is a ' Bummcl '? Let Jerome give the answer, as he doe< in the final paragraph of his well-loved book. * A " Bummel " I should describe as a Journey, long or short, without an end; the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started. Sometimes It is through busy streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes: sometimes we can be spared for a few hours; and sometimes for a few days. But long or short, but here or there, our thoughts are ever on the running of the sand. We nod and smile to many as we pass; with some we stop and talk awhile; and with a few we walk a little way. We have been much interested, and often a little tired. But on the whole we have had a pleasant time, and are sorry when 'tis over.'

A Lady in a Cage': play by P. S. Laughlin

Story by David H. Fergus.

Mary Jarred (contralto)

Antonio Brosa (violin) Kathleen Long (piano) In spite of their late opus number,
Schubert's three Sonatinas for violin and piano were in fact written in 1816, when he was nineteen. No. 2 in A minor, with its wistful opening, is a particularly graceful example of the composer's youthful style. It has four movements: Allegro moderato, Andante, Minuetto (Allegro), and Allegro.
The freshness and charm that characterise Beethoven's Op. 24 (which is in the same key as his Pastoral Symphony) have gained for it the name of the Spring Sonata. Harold Rutland
