For Children of Most Ages
' Snow Treasure '
A book by Marie McSwigan made into a serial play by Eve Howland
3—' Alarms and Excursions '
Produced by Frances Campbell
For three weeks the children of Riswyk have been sledging down to ' The Snake' with their secret loads of gold bricks, and the Germans have done nothing to stop them. Day by day about twenty snowmen are built along the edge of the hidden fiord, and every night Uncle Victor and Rolls creep ashore from the camouflaged Cleng Peerson to collect the treasure buried under them.
The plan is working well, but slowly, and for the first time in the history of Riswyk nobody wants spring to come-for a thaw would put a stop to sledging, and there is no other way of getting the gold to the ship. Imagine their dismay when the weather suddenly breaks and they hear a rain-storm beating against their windows!
5.35 Westward Across the Sahara by Owen Tweedy
3-Lake Chad
Grilled but intact, Mr. Tweedy and his two friends have now rolled into Fort Lamy, the capital of French Equatorial Africa, and only eighty miles to the north lies lonely Lake Chad where the great Shari empties its waters at the end of its long seven-hundred-mile journey.
