Nursery rhymes. stories, and music
There are some stories among those we have broadcast that never seem to fade from the children's memory. One it that by Diana Ross aliout the five little boys. Like all good tales, it se imaginative processes to work and makes the children think. In such stories every detail lives for them, and any supposed error is promptly noted and anxiously queried. For example, ' he is completely mystified,' wrote a mother, ' as to how the one, two, three, four, five little boys managed to give the one, two. three, four, five little kittens a saucer of milk each when they only purchased five little cups, five little plates, and a knife, spoon, and fork each.' Since then, saucers have appeared in the story! Julia Lang will repeat this tale today, and she will also tell the one for tomorrow—Mollie Craven 's ' David and the Little Green Engine.' For the rest of the week the storyteller will be Daphne Oxenford , with three stories by Ursula Hourihane about the Bundle family. Catherine Edwards will introduce them all.Elizabeth-A. Taylor

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Joan Carr-Jones
Last week Gwen mysteriously told Mrs. Dale she had a secret to tell her but that it would keep. Sally fell down the stairs at her flat and sprained an ankle. Mrs. Dale, while out shopping for Sally, met David, who assumed that Gwen had already told her mother the secret-that she was going to have a baby. Gwen arrived that evening and told the family, and they agreed not to tell Mr. Fulton as G.ven wanted to work for him as long as possible. Grandfather Dale , having finished his jig-saw puzzle and given Gwen a coral ra-ttte, returned to Scotland. Mrs. Dale went to tea with Mrs. Vernon and Paul (now living jn Mrs. Momtford's flat). Mrs. Dale afterwards told Dr. Dale she had taken an even greater dislike to Mrs. Vernon. Bob, working at Berridges at Parkwood Hill for a few days, told Mrs. Freeman about a fashion competition they were going to hold and Mrs. Freeman decided to enter for it. Because Jenny was so ill, Bob arranged for a stand-in to take Jenny's part in a play she was rehearsing, and left Sally to break the news to her
