A programme for children under five
Last Friday our under-fives heard for a few moments a new voice in their programme and today, and for the coming two weeks, it will be Lorna Pegram who introduces to them the nursery rhymes and storytellers each day. We are sure she will soon be established as a firm friend and welcome member of their band of 'programme ladies.' Today and tomorrow she will introduce Dorothy Smith to tell two stories of very different kinds, a nature story, ' Signs of Spring ' by Rosamund Martin , and ' Puffing Billy.' a fantasy about a railway engine by Lavinia Derwent. On Wednesday and on Friday the storyteller will be Julia Lang, with ' Angela's Birthday Present' by Hilda lames , and ' The Snowman ' by Enid Jones , for, in spite of signs of spring, winter has not yet left us. All these tales are new, but on Thursday Daphne Oxenford will re-tell the story by Vera Badley about ' The Little Horse who said "No."' ' Can we have it again soon, please? ' asked a mother and her small son. ' We both chuckled so much that we almost lost the rest of the programme.' So here it is for a second hearing. Elizabeth A. Taylor

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Last Sunday was Sally's birthday and the Dales gave a supper-party for her. Maud French visited Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Dale. She had been asked to Copenhagen for a few days and thought it would be an excellent idea if Miss Pink worked for Mr. Fulton while Gwen was indisposed. Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Freeman were distressed at the idea, but at lunch-time Gwen came over to say that Mr. Fulton had departed with Miss Pink.
