A message of comfort and cheer for all 'in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity '
Stuart Hibberd introduces a talk by the district nurse and Kathleen
Listeners' letters are very welcome, as they give real help in planning these talks. Send them to Stuart Hibberd, c/o Silver Lining, Broadcasting House, London, W.l. Listeners will realise that speakers cannot reply personally, but will try to deal with their problems in the talks.

by Ted Child
In this talk Ted Child tells of the time he took a course to train as a telegraphist. Among his fellow students were Charlie, who aspired to be a guitarist; Peter, who wanted to be a cartoonist; and Harry, who having been a long-distance lorry driver had cravings for the quiet life. But right from the beginning they were doomed. They were ineluctably also rans. None of them - the speaker included - contrived to finish the course.
