A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
'How many of your listeners,' asks the mother of a five-year-old girl, 'put words to your signature tune?' The answer, it seems, is quite a number! The little girl in question made up her version twelve months ago and has sung it ever since. A four-year-old boy sets these opening chimes to the words story-time, 'which,' writes his mother 'involves adding an extra note on the end so that he can finish "Story-time"!' Another little girl makes up her own programmes. She sits at the piano 'playing' the tune, and chanting 'Quarter to, quarter to, quarter to, quarter to, quarter to, quarter to, one, two.' But whether these opening chimes do or do not incite our under-fives to versification, their familiarity provokes instant recognition and the anticipation of fifteen minutes of eagerly-awaited pleasure. Familiarity has created much affection, too. for the piano duet that daily closes our programme,' and here for the benefit of numerous enquirers is the information for which we are so constantly asked - this closing music is the 'Berceuse,' the first movement of the suite called 'Dolly,' by Gabriel Faure.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the Life of her family
Script by Lesley Wilson
Last week Boysie, the little dog sent by Alec to Dr. Dale to guard his car, bit Dr. Dale. Mrs. Dale, and David. Dr. Dale said he must be destroyed. Mrs. Freeman felt sorry for the dog and took him up to her flat, but Captain and Boysie snarled at each other all day. Mrs. Freeman took a taxi to town, where she was to meet Maud French for lunch...Miss Pink arrived alone, saying Mrs. French had gone to the Exhibition with an American friend and Alec. Mrs. Freeman was so annoyed that she and Miss Pink had a large lunch at Maud's expense. That evening Miss Pink arrived with a large bunch of flowers and some new books as a ' peace offering ' from Maud. Mrs. Freeman did not want to accept the presents but she suddenly had the idea of giving Boysie to Maud as a return ' peace offering.' Mrs. Dale lost the family's ration books.
