by William Aspden
William Aspden , the naturalist, used to pay frequent visits to a small uninhabited island off the Welsh coast to study the thousands of sea-birds that nested there. On his first visit one year he found that the birds had deserted the island. A few dead gulls and a footprint which looked hke that of a dog were all he could discover. Later someone passing in a boat saw a fox. But there are no foxes nearer than the mainland, seven miles away. How did the animal get on to the island? In this talk William Aspden describes how he solved the mystery.

"The Bell Family Again"
A new serial play in six parts
Written for Children's Hour by Noel Streatfeild
1: "Meet the Bell Family"
Production by Josephine Plummer
Listeners first made the acquaintance of the Bell Family last year and instantly took them to their hearts. The Bells are an ordinary family but that makes their adventures all the more appealing. What boy does not understand the desire of Paul to take up medicine as a career, and his fears lest his hard working parson father will never be able to afford the fees?
What little girl condemned to wear her sister's cast-offs will not share Ginnie's longing for a new frock of her very own? What busy mother of four children will not feel her heart go out to dear Mrs. Bell and her glorious charlady Mrs. Gage?
