A programme for children under five
'All three storytellers are much loved,' reports a listener to these programmes. Each storyteller, however, has some special adherents, though sometimes the reasons for their adherence are a little unexpected. Its cause is usually some individual association, illustrating once more how important to small children is anything which attaches itself to them in this close personal way. A little girl called Rosalind, for example, heard Julia Lang tell a story about an imaginary mouse, which seemed exactly to describe her situation, so she ' likes Julie-Ann.' Daphne Oxenford almost received a present of a small black kitten because it was born in much the same circumstances as that in one of her stories. And Catherine Edwards who returns today to begin another month as our storyteller, has a special significance for a certain little boy ' because of Edward's name, coupled with the fact that his sister is also Catherine.'
Those of our audience with an insatiable appetite for ' train ' stories-and are there any. we wonder, who have not?—will, we think, be pleased to know that this week Catherine Edwards will retell Molly Craven 's tale of ' David and the Little Green Train.' Elizabeth A. Taylor

He tore up the cheque and rushed out of the house: Mrs. Freeman rushed out after him straight in front of a car and was knocked over. Isabel Fielding was driving the car.
