Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
' May we,' writes a mother, 'have more stories, please. about the " Boy with the Useful Bag." My four-year-old girl has a brown " useful bag " holding an astonishing variety of " useful " things — any mislaid article turns up in it.' The boy in question, as some of our listeners may remember, was Charles, in the stories by Rutih Ainsworth , and his bag seems to have caught the imagination of his young admirers and emulators, including one who unfortunately got the wrong idea and could hardly be prevented from collecting bits of paper and oddments from out of the streets. Charles has a friend called Jenny and they behave together as small children always will. Indeed, much of the very strong attraction of these stories lies in their way of going right to the heart of the interests and attitudes of our under-hves, who are epitomised in Charles himself. This week our listeners will renew their acquaintance with him when Daphne Oxenford tells again the tales of ' Charles and the String Plait,' 'Charles and Jenny,' ' Charles on a Windy Day,' ' Charles' Long Morning,' and ' Charles at the Party.'

4 —' Max's Literary Page '
The last of a series of four talks about an imaginary Forces newspaper in Germany. Max, a German clerk, has been left in charge of one edition. In his literary page he replaces words he is not sure of by others he thinks will do as well. The talk explains why Max's substitutions have spoiled some effective writing.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Lesley Wilson
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. Last week Maggs told Mrs. Dale about his difficulties with Mrs. Dolly and asked her how he could end the engagement without hurting Mrs. Dolly's feelings. Mrs. Dolly brought her children, with their husbands and wives, to meet Maggs and he became even more distressed. But all ended happily as Mrs. Dolly decided she didn't want to lose her freedom. Mr. Fulton gave Gwen and Sally tickets for Wimbledon. While there they met Brigadier Mutty. Gwen told him she was flat-hunting. The next day he called at Virginia Lodge and gave Mrs. Freeman the address of an empty flat. Mrs. Dale was most upset at the thought of Gwen leaving, but Dr. Dale said she was not to interfere. Gwen eventually confessed that she had heard Edward Fielding complain about the prospects of having a baby in the house. Edward Fielding assured them he meant no harm, and wanted Gwen and David to stay.
