'Oh,' said a small boy one Monday when he heard another name announced, 'I thought it would have been Captaleen Edwards!' Well, today it is, for this week and next, Catherine Edwards introduces our stories and rhymes. The story on Wednesday and Thursday, told by Dorothy Smith in two parts, is about a fire engine. It was specially written by Jean Sutcliffe some time ago to meet a little girl's request, and it is called 'Christopher's Friend.' Now we have another request, this time from a small boy who wistfully writes, 'Please tell a story about a fire engine. I listen to your stories every day, but I would like a fire engine story.' Today and on Friday Julia Lang will tell 'The Newspaper House' by Emily Buxton, and 'The Water Baby,' by Ruth Ainsworth. Tomorrow comes Daphne Oxenford with Enid Rogers' tale of 'The Lost Boots.'

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, while Mrs. Dale was at Gwen's flat, Jenny and Peter arrived. David advised them against a hurried wedding and they agreed to take his advice. The next day, Gwen celebrated her birthday and wedding anniversaries. Jenny won an award at the drama school and, as Peter was out of town, she telephoned to Bob to tell him about it. Bob suggested they should celebrate, but the Dales disapproved. When Jenny eventually told Peter about the award he seemed completely uninterested and turned the conversation to his own plans to buy a small-holding. Jenny was very upset. realising she could not combine her acting career with Peter's farming interests. She rang up Bob and asked him to try to talk Peter out of the project, but Peter politely told him to mind his own business.
