A programme for children under five
However various their environment, circumstances, or temperaments, certain topics seem to have a fundamental and universal appeal for all children. How many of them do not love to pick flowers, and to discover things they have not met before in nelds and woods? How many do not love puppies and kittens, and paddling in streams, and playing farmyard games? And as for trains, it is not only the boys who rejoice in them; and the fascination is just as strong though they may live distant from the station or the shining metal rails. Our listeners may not be able to experience such pleasures at all times in their daily lives, but they can enjoy them all vicariously in their stories this week: For the first three days they will hear about the adventures of three children — Bill, ' the biggest one,' Berti ' the middle-sized one,' and Mary. ' the smallest one '-in the stories by Hilda Brabban. On Thursday comes ' The Little Cat in the Haystack,' by Mollie Craven. And on Friday, in Monica Jarrett's ' The London Express,' they can share with its hero the supreme thrill of the one occasion when he actually spoke to the engine driver

Last week Dr. Dale and Monument got shut in the cellar of a bombed church, where Monument had put some plants that he was going to take home. Mrs. Dale got very worried when Dr. Dale had not returned late that night and finally Bob telephoned to the police. He still had not returned the next morning and everyone tried to comfort Mrs. Dale. While this was happening Dr. Dale arrived unexpectedly and was much annoyed by all the fuss. Sally and Richard Fulton, who both thought Michael had proposed to Gwen, were surprised when Gwen telephoned to David while she was worried about her father. Mr. Fulton decided he would go to Wales when Gwen went to prevent David from proposing to her. Gwen met her father and they had tea together. She told him she was in love with David and hoped to marry him. Mrs. Dale and Ms. Morgan were busy preparing for Mrs. Freeman's birthday.
