A programme for children under five

'Best of all,' wrote the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old boy, he liked "Susie is a Monkey." We had to replace Susie by all the little boys and girls we know. "And this onel" he said finally, pointing to himself.'

We have many such pleasant examples of how our stories and rhymes live for the children far beyond the moments of hearing them, of how they enter into their lives and go on nourishing them in often unforeseeable ways. and it is one of our great satisfactions that out of the wireless set, which presents the same material to so many children, can come so much variety and individuality of response, and that each listener so easily adapts it to his own needs. On Thursday and Friday our listeners will hear again these, 'Robert and Susie' stories by Mary Manton told by Julia Lang, who is also our storyteller for today with a tale by Margaret Gore, 'Before the Spring Came.' Tomorrow and on Wednesday come Daphne Oxenford with 'Andrew and the Pigeons' by Margaret Purcell, and Dorothy Smith with 'Sally's Ducklings,' by Kathleen Ross. Lorna Pegram will introduce both rhymes and storytellers. (Elizabeth A. Taylor)

Ralph Wilson and his Dance Orchestra

Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Last week Tiggy Fielding returned home, and Mrs. Dale began her spring cleaning. While she was in the middle of it, a personal call came from Scotland to say that Grandfather Dale was seriously ill after a fall from a tractor. Dr. and Mrs. Dale caught the night train to Berwick. All the next day there was no change, but the following day Mrs. Dale was able to telephone Bob to say Grandfather Dale was out of danger. Mr. Fulton found Miss Pink's hero-worshipping too much to bear. He sent himself a telegram so that he could go away until Gwen was able to work for him again.
