A programme for children under five
Dear BBC could we please have pit a cake for paul and me paul is one and I am nearly five.' It was many weeks ago that this request came to us, but now at last, on Friday, ' Pat-a-cake ' will take its place among our nursery rhymes, to please not only this small correspondent, but, we hope, all those others who, from time to time, have asked for it. This week and next it will be Catherine Edwards who introduces the nursery rhymes and story-tellers. Margaret Gore 's sensitive little story The Baby Deer ' is told again today by Julia Lang. This tale is favourite, for little children arc attracted by stories of baby creatures. They call out their instinctive feelings of sympathy and tenderness, and it is a help to them to remember that, in this world where they are so small and dependent, there are creatures even smaller and more dependent than themselves. Tomorrow and on Wednesday, Daphne Oxenford will tell the two parts of 'The Chimney Sweep,' by Margaret Purcell , and on Thursday and Friday comes Dorothy Smith with * The Toy Motor-cars,' by Monica Jarrett , and ' An Easter Picnic,' by Lilias Edwards.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Lesley Wilson
Last week Thompkins insisted that he was going to sue Tony Lawford for assault. Tony's mother endeavoured to persuade Dr. Dale not to give evidence against her son. Later, Dr. Dale told Mrs. Dale he thought Thompkins was being hard on Tony. Mrs Dale went to see Thompkins to persuade him to change his mind, but unfortunately his mother-in-law was there and she was unable to speak to him privately. Mr. Beech, Sally's prospective new boss, still persisted in serving her customers and annoying them by his officious manner. Sally told Alec about it. While she was out Alec went to the shop and pretended to be an important customer, but unfortunately Sally returned at the height of the ' scene,' and discovered the plot.
