A programme for children under five
'What can we do until quarter to two?
We've washed all the dishes and dried them up too.
Oh, what can we do until quarter to two?'
Month by month our storytellers come and go, but the impatience voiced in this
'Daily Complaint, beginning at 1.30 p.m.' is a constant feature of our audience. The exasperating experience of so many grown-ups who 'meant to listen' to an anticipated programme, then 'missed it after all' seems to have little or no parallel among the under-fives who take a ritual care to be ready and waiting in very good time. This month Catherine Edwards will again be their storyteller. This week they can hear three tales of a dog called Tiny, by E.E. Ferrier; 'Pete and the Car,' by Leila Berg; and 'Cress Sandwiches,' by Joan E. Cass. But next week, we must warn them, there will be only four stories, for Whit Monday will carry no broadcast of 'Listen With Mother.'

Script by Joan Carr-Jones
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Last week Gwen had a quarrel with David and insisted on walking home alone. As she was passing Mrs. Mountford's garden she was frightened by something which Dr. Dale later discovered to be a towel hanging on a line. Several people claimed to have seen a white figure moving about in the garden at various times. Maud French became most intrigued and announced that she was going to sit up and watch for the 'ghost.' When the time came Maud said Miss Pink was to do the watching. Miss Pink refused and so nothing was done about it. Mrs. Dale found a dirty, double sheet in Monument's room and she and Mrs. Freeman wondered if Monument had been the 'ghost.' The Donovans were still at Rose Cottage when Sally and Mrs. Freeman went down for the weekend. Sally told them they must leave immediately and Mrs. Donovan fainted.
