From Trent Bridge, Nottingham
on gramophone recorda.
Said a little boy, about to visit his grandmother, ' Does Grandmother listen with mother? ' if this one does not, we have heard that many do. ' I thought that if I had it on,' writes one ' it would give me a feeling of nearness to my family.' ' I listen every day,' writes another, ' because I know that my grandson will be listening too.' We are glad that our programmes may knit families together in this way. But grannies arc not our only eaves-droppers. ' You will be surprised, says a correspondent, * to hear that among your small listeners and their mothers there was a fifty-year-old parrot, Polly, who answered " Wee, wee, wee, all the way home " when she heard the nursery rhyme This Little Pig." and said '' Hullo, what are you talking about? " to " Polly, put the kettle on." Then she went into a very sedate dance during the singing of " See-saw, Margery Daw. " ' We wonder how Polly reacts to the stories. Will she, for instance, like today's rhyming story, ' The Pig with a Wig,' by Jean Sutcliffe , and Dorothy Edwards ' two ' naughty little sister ' stories, Leila Berg 's ' The Tired Train,' and Diana Ross ' ' One Little, Two Little,' which follow successively this week?

The Ian Stewart Quintet
Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. Last week Mrs. Dale continued to diet, although Bob, Alec, and Mrs. Morgan did their utmost to persuade her to give it up. Gwen told the family about Michael's invitation for her to tour France for a fortnight with him and two friends. Later Gwen refused to go with Michael because he had taken her acceptance for granted.
Michael met Bob and asked him to go in Gwen's place. When Bob told Gwen the was upset and they quarrelled. Richard Fulton, still at Sally's cottage, continued to worry and harass the Donovans so much that they decided to leave immediately. Richard Fulton fell and sprained his ankle so Gwen and Sally spent the week-end at the cottage. To Sally's surprise and delight Zenobia returned.
