Blessing
Only a few years ago, in the vast interior of Australia, anyone who was taken ill might have to be carried hundreds of miles on horseback before he could receive medical aid, and he often died on the way. Today, thanks to the pioneer work of John Flynn , who organised the ' flying doctor ' service of the Australia Inland Mission, a doctor can be flown in a very short time to the most remote places. The interlude is one of a series illustrating the work of the world-wide Church.

TRAVEL TALKS. 'Great Cities of Other Lands': San Francisco.
Script by Rhoda Power

2.20 LET'S JOIN IN. 'Yellow-breast': an old-fashioned tale adapted for broadcasting by Miriam Langdon

2.40 LOOKING AT THINGS. 'Towns and Villages': differences that have developed in various parts of the country
All towns and villages are built for people to live in. They have streets, shops, and houses, and some have churches, schools, post offices, a railway station and other public buildings as well. But not all towns and villages are alike; a village in southern England is not like a Welsh village, nor is a Scottish town like a town in the Midlands. How have they come to be so different? Today's broadcast tells how some of these differences came about and how they have developed in various parts of the country.
