A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
'Your programme,' wrote a mother, 'is very much appreciated by my daughter-aged sixteen months. She joins in the nursery rhymes that she knows wi'h such words as "wool" " full," " lane," etc., at the appropriate moment.' Letters such as this, which come to us from time to time, make us wonder at how young an age a child may begin to take active and unprompted notice of these programmes for the under-fives. Of this same little girl, for instance, her mother adds, ' Today she must have understood some of the story, as, on entering the room, I discovered her sitting underneath her high chair. I had no idea of what was happening until I heard the story-teller say, " Little Wu came out from underneath the chair "-then I understood.' Coincidence?-or had this little girl really caught and acted upon some phrase in the story which was already familiar to her experience? The five stories of ' Sam and Little Wu,' by Molly Sole , will be broadcast again this week. They will be read by Julia Lang whose month as story-teller begins today -and perhaps this little girl will once more be listening. Elizabeth A. Taylor

Script by Joan Carr-Jones
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. Last week Mrs. Owen rang Sally and asked if Jenny could stay with her for a few weeks because she was getting in everyone's way. Sally .agreed, but Mrs. Dale felt that the Owens were taking advantage of Sally's good nature. Mrs. Morgan told Thompkins about Gwen's flat and when she saw Thompkins' wistful expression she felt sorry. However, the next day Thompkins told Mrs. Morgan he had heard of a flat. Mrs. Dale had a letter from Alec's wife, Miriam, saying she was coming to England. Dr. Dale told Alec he should give Miriam a happy time. To Alec's surprise when Miriam arrived she had already planned to take a cottage in the West Country. Bob offered to drive her down. Maud who had come to see Gwen decided Miss Pink should accompany them, as Miss Pink and Maud were getting on each other's nerves. Neither Bob nor Miss Pink liked the idea.
