For Older Children
`Secret in the Sand '
A book by Mary Elizabeth Edmondston made into a serial play in six episodes by Evelyn Russell
4 — ' More Light on Barda '
Production by Frances Campbell Robbie's father has caught measles, so all four children are quarantined at Valla House. They are rather mystified by the behaviour of Mr. Mackie, the factor, who seems to spend a good deal of time on the island of Barda. However, the treasure-hunt for Malcolm's birthday present is still their main interest, and the fourth clue, which ended the last episode, runs as follows :
' Having succeeded in finding your way to a modern author, you must now go back in time to our old friend Shakespeare. You will find your directions in the first part of the last scene but one of Act Four, in one of the better-known plays.'
5.30 ` Talking Time '
20-' Getting about in Africa ' by John Seymour
There are, it seems, some unusual ways of getting about in Africa. John Seymour travelled a lot in a ' donkey mobile ' —a light cart built on an old motor-car axle with its two wheels and tyres, pulled by four donkeys. On the Upper Zambesi he went in a barge, with eighteen paddlers, all standing up, to push it along. And, of course, you can paddle your own canoe, if you can learn to do so on your feet ... followed by Children's Hour
` Music in Miniature '
