by Maurice Hussey
Mr. Hussey makes a plea for slower travel and cites the praiseworthy examples of two seventeenth-century pioneers: John Taylor ('the Water Poet ') who sailed three miles in a brown paper boat; and Master Bush who travelled from Lambourn to London in an air, land, and water pinnace.

Last of a group of talks in which various speakers have been asked to choose an area and describe the kinds of life to be found in it
Hampstead Heath by John Hillaby
The nine-hundred-odd acres of Hampstead Heath, spread over high ground in north-west London, represent an urbanised relic in which a few of the original species still survive. It is also, as Mr. Hillaby says, ' an aircraft carrier in the midst of the city ' for migrating birds. He is a member of a group of biologists who are studying the Heath and working to preserve its species.

A discussion between

Director of the Agricultural
Economics Research Institute,
University of Oxford and Marghanita Laski
Chairman, Norman Fisher
Under the provisions of the Agriculture Act 1947, farm subsidies amount to some £ 240,000,000 during the current year. This is the form of support given to agriculture which has its counterpart in the import quotas and tariffs enjoyed by other industries. This discussion considers how effective subsidies are in promoting an efficient agriculture, and how they affect the housewife.

by Sue Ryder
When the Allied armies invaded Germany there were about forty to fifty concentration camps. Their total population probably ran into millions, many of whom did not long survive their liberation. Some returned to their homes; some who had lost their homes emigrated; a few who have nowhere to go are still waiting, living on in ever-dwindling hope in a variety of camps and settlements scattered throughout Western Germany. They are just a small section of the vast intractable problem of the Displaced Person.
In this programme Sue Ryder, who has worked with these people for many years, presents some of their stories, recorded at camps in Germany.
