A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
' She still remembers,' writes a mother about her four-year-old girl, ' a story that was told some months ago entitled " My Naughty Little Sister," and wanted me to write and ask you for it again.' ' My small daughter,' says another mother, ' is most anxious that I should write and plead for the two stories about " My Naughty Little Sister" to be told again.' We have nated before the strong appeal of a ' naughty ' story. We are happy to say, however, that, in spite of the enthusiasm with which our small listeners frequently imitate the actions of our story characters, we have not so far heard of them being incited to deliberate misbehaviour by the bad example of the naughty ones. Perhaps this is understandable if we remember how important to small children is the approval of adults-children may sometimes be naughty, but they always tike to feel good, and a story about another child's misdeeds allows them to enjoy his naughtiness vicariously while at the same time to censure him as he deserves. Tomorrow they may have this experience again from a new story by Dorothy Edwards , ' My Naughty Little Sister Wasn't Well.' Elizabeth A. Taylor

Script by Joan Carr-Jones
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Last week Isabel Fielding suggested to Mrs. Dale that she should learn to drive a car. Dr. Dale was not at all enthusiastic and said he had not the time to teach her. Mrs. Dale, while shopping with Mrs. Freeman in Parkwood Hill, met Mr. Gilroy, who mentioned that his business brought him near Parkwood Hill twice a week. He offered to teach Mrs. Dale to drive. The family teased her about her admirer ' and Mrs. Morgan disapproved. A letter came from Miriam, who was stit! living alone in Devon, saying rhat she was ill, and had no one to help her. Mrs. Dale decided she would have to go and look after her. Mr. Gilroy said that business took him to Devon and that he would like to drive Mrs. Dale down. It was difficult to refuse his offer so Mrs. Dale agreed. Sally and Jenny had a quarrel. Jenny met Michael Fanshawe who introduced her to Mrs. Mountford. To the Dales' surprise, Jenny left a note for Sally to say she had gone to stay with a friend. Bob eventually found her staying with Mrs. Mountford. -
