A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
' Pansy,' which will be broadcast tomorrow, is a story from Jamaica, sent by Julia Goodey. In Jamaica they do things differently from us. For instance, they carry their shopping on their heads-and without holding on! Even young children can do it, and the story of ' Pansy ' tells how one little girl learned the art. We think the under-fives will enjoy the idea. Referring to the children's names in her story, Julia Goodey wrote ' These peculiar names are ordinary here,' but she suggested others for us to use if we felt them too unusual. So we chose some of these, for we did not expect to find many Raphaels, Luthers, and Icildas among our listeners. This is a matter of some importance when broadcasting to the under-fives, as many mothers will agree who have seen the delighted astonishment of a child, when his name comes unexpectedly through the loudspeaker. 'This is a story about me I 'and the satisfaction goes very deep, for a small child's world centres around himself. The . names we have substituted are Edward,- Louise, and Rupert, and we are sure some of those will be listening.
