' Green Sailors and Fair Winds' by Gilbert Hackforth-Jonea
2—' Stranger than Fiction '
Production by Josephine Plummer
' Last week I told you how we crossed the Channel in a full gale, in order to get a young man back to England in time to rejoin his regiment before his leave expired. Well, it was a very rough trip and we were all pretty shaken up by the motion. So we weren't at all sorry to lie in harbour alongside the quay in Poole, while the gale blew itself out. There were quite a number of yachts sheltering there. Rag Doll was berthed alongside one called Cape Horn. She was an ancient and rather dirty converted fishing-boat, whose owner was a weather-beaten old man whom we soon got to know.' (Mary Green)

A discussion by three representative German speakers in a studio in Bonn, with a speaker in a studio in London
Chairman, Frank Byers
What should be Germany's place in Europe? Should she be allied with the West? If so, will such an alliance postpone, or make impossible, the restoration of German unity? Or should Germany be neutral between East and West? These are questions which immediately concern not only the Germans, but all Europeans; and in this programme they and related issues are considered.
