A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
This programme is intended for pleasure and delight but once we heard that it was on the verge of promoting domestic strife. A father wrote about an argument between himself and his wife, the subject of which was the name of the music that closes our programme each day. We were glad to be able to restore harmony by writing, as requested, to the small son of the household (who, his father assured us, ' would be pleased to correct his mother and me on this point ') to tell him that this concluding piano duet is the Berceuse from the suite Dolly,' by Gabriel Fauré. And to judge from the number of enquiring letters we receive on this subject we are sure that the information will be welcomed by many other listeners. For stories this week, we have * Wee Geordie,' by Mary R. Campbell , told today by Dorothy Smith. Tomorrow and on Wednesday, Julia Lang tells two stories by Jean Sutcliffe about Charlie's Big Red Bus, and on Friday she returns with ' The Water Baby,' by Ruth Ainsworth , while on Thursday comes ' The Yellow Caravan,' by Nesta Nuttall , when the storyteller will be Daphne Oxenford.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Toni Block
Last week Mr. Owen arrived at Virginia Lodge. He was determined that if Jenny left the drama school she would return to Wales wirh him. Bob tried to persuade him otherwise, but to no avail. Mr Fulton, rather surprisingly, took Jenny's side. He went and saw the principal of the drama school and arranged for her to meet the producer of a repertory company. Jenny, back again in the theatre, realised she could never leave it. Eventually it was decided she should return home for a week-end to tell her mother. Zenobia was hoping to buy a tittle shop, which had fallen empty in Gimlet Green, because she thought it might encourage Joe, her husband, to work. Maud French, driving Mrs. Freeman to Sally's cottage, saw the shop and decided she wanted it. Sally went to the auction on behalf of Zenobia and was outbid by Maud. Mrs. Freeman and Sally were furious, but as they were leaving the auction room Zenobia rushed up to say she had told Joe and found he had already got himself a iob.
