A programme for children under five
' My four-year old daughter,' writes a mother, ' has been a staunch supporter of what she used to call " Listen and Smother " from the very beginning, and now she wants me to tell you that what we both so much enjoy is the music. One particular favourite is " Jack and Jilt " (the chords for " did whip her next " especially delight her). Will you please convey at least two listeners' appreciation to whoever plays the piano? ' Well, it is Ann Driver who plays the piano. She also makes the nursery-rhyme arrangements which delight so many children because of their imaginative interpretation of the spirit of the songs. This week, as usual, our small listeners will hear many of their favourite rhymes, including ' Jack and Jilt ' which comes tomorrow, and ' Pop goes the Weasel,* the newest addition to our repertoire.
For stories this week we have, today, one by Violet Statham about a toy rabbit; tomorrow, a ' Naughty Little Sister ' story by Dorothy Edwards ; on Wednesday, ' The Little Engine who was Afraid of Tunnels ' by Marjorie Thorne ; on Thursday, ' Fine Frosty Day' by Isla Davenport : and, on Friday, Ursula Hourihane 's animal story ' The Farmyard Band.' Elizabeth A. Taylor

Felix King and his Orchestra

Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. Miss Marchbanks, staying in Mrs. Freeman's flat white Mrs. Mountford's house was being converted into flats, continued to interfere with Dr. Dale's work. She confided to Mrs. Freeman that she would like to be the doctor's secretary. Sally bought Zenobia's trousseau as a present. At Berridges' concert the microphone system that Stan had installed went wrong. Mrs. Date was concerned in case Bob was held responsible, especially when he was sent for by one of the directors of Berridges. However, Bob was told that he was being sent to a branch shop at Sandbourne to organise a new department. Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Freeman, having tea in a new cafe in Parkwood Hill, overheard Isabel telling her husband she didn't know how Jim could stand his mother-in-law living with them. There was an embarrassing scene and Mrs. Freeman refused to accept any kind of apology from Isabel. Dr. Dale's new car arrived.
