A programme for children under nve
I teach music in a rural area,' writes a correspondent. One little girl of five has only begun school this last half term. When we sang several nursery rhymes as revision I noticed she was word-perfect. I asked if her mother sang to her at home. She said " No, I listen every day to Listen with Muvver ".' Perhaps this little girl, and many like her, may hear Dorothy Smith today and on Thursday and Friday, telling them about ' Taddy's Tail ' by Jane Shaw , and ' Blackie the Coal Engine,' by Mary Cockett. Tomorrow and on Wednesday comes Daphne Oxen -ford with ' Tiggcr Won the Race ' by Gina Watson and 'There goes the Pit,' by Herbert McKay. Catherine Edwards will introduce the stories and rhymes.

Script by Joan Carr-Jones
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Principal characters this week:
Last week Dr. and Mrs. Dale were on holiday in Berwick. After meeting an old friend, John Grahame , who was now a famous dermatologist, Dr. Dale seemed very unsettled, and Mrs. Dale thought he might be regretting not having specialised.
Sally took two old ladies from Brimscombe House to stay at Rose Cottage. Joe Parsons asked Sally for more money for Zenobia as she would have more work to do... Zenobia overheard him and was very angry.
Mrs. Skeats was worried about Stan's engagement to Marleen and planned to make Marleen appear incompetent in the home and so disillusion Stan about her.
The plan proved unsuccessful. Then Berridges promoted Marleen to the Confectionery Department and she told Stan that she didn't wish to get married yet.
