A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
The kitchen chairs are horses for " Ride-a-Cock-Horse " and Humpty Dumpty's wall and, for " This is the Way the Ladies Ride," the two children crash down into the ditch most realistically. "Pop goes the Weasel " is the current favourite, each trying to outdo the other in the loudest and most ear-splitting " PopI " ' Many lively pictures such as this show us how our under-fives take part in their own programme, and illustrate particularly how, though the broadcast is the same for all listeners, the effects of it are quite different and individual.
The kitchen chairs will be needed again this week, for ' Ride-a-Cock Horse' and 'This is the Way' are included in the programmes. The stories today and on Wednesday are ' Tommy's Garden ' by June Colbourne, and. The Little Stopping Train,' by Eileen Mathias , with storyteller Dorothy Smith ; tomorrow comes ' Winkie ' by Cicely Cole , told by Daphne Oxenford , and on Thursday and Friday, 'Taking Father's Dinner' by R. M. Ward and ' The Five Little Gibby Boys and Chum Chivers ,' by Elizabeth Sheppard-Jones , both told by Julia Lang ". Nursery rhymes and stories are introduced by Lorna Peeram Elizabeth A. Taylor

The first of a series of four talks about an imaginary Forces newspaper in Germany. The British editorial staff of the newspaper are ill and Max, a German clerk, is left to produce one edition on his own.

Syd Dean and his Band
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Dr. and Mrs. Dale had a dinner party. Apart from Mrs. Sandiman's open hostility, it was a great success. Mrs. Dale insisted that Mrs. Burgess, matron of the Brimscombe House Old People's Home, should leave because she was unfit for the post. During the week Mrs. Sandiman visited Mrs. Dale and said that unless she resigned from the committee, Mrs. Burgess, the cook, and two maids, would leave. Later Mr. Moss, the Chairman of the Home, telephoned to say that Mrs. Burgess and her friends had walked out, and would she go and see him immediately. David told Dr. Dale about his visit to Devonshire, and said that, as they had suspected, Sally had taken Tony Coppard to her cottage at Gimlet Green. During the week, while Mrs. Dale was lunching with Sally, she was appalled to hear Sally was going to re-marry Tony.
