A programme-for children under five
' Our four-year-old daughter,' writes a mother, as a weekend treat, always enjoys listening to " Peter and the Wolf." Imagine her delight when, recently, your programme was introduced with Peter's song. Her eyes almost popped out of her head. " Mummy, the wireless can play it, too-not iust the gramophone! " '
Peter's tune, we have discovered, is, indeed. a pnme favour:te not on,ly with those of our small listeners who, like this little girl, are familiar with the whole of Prokofiev's musical fairy tale, but with many others who know it only through our programmes, so we think it will find a welcome when heard again as opening music this week.
Some of them, too, we know, are anxious to hear again tihe stories by Margaret Gore about the little rabbit called Twopence (which Dorothy Smithwill tell the-m today and tomorrow) and Mollie Craven 's David and the L:Mle Green Engine,' and another of A. W. Orchard's adventures of Charlie the CaT to be told on Wednesday and Friday by Julia Lang ), as well as Ruth Ainsworth 's ' The Dutch Doll ' (with Daphne Oxenford as story-teller, on Thursday).
Garhenne Edwards introduces our programmes again this week.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
The Sunday before Coronation Day the Dales attended a special Coronation Service, and on the great day David, Gwen, Jenny, and Bob took Monument to watch the procession. After the return of the procession, Monument fainted and was taken to a St. John's Ambulance station. He was then taken home. David, Gwen, Jenny, and Bob returned to see the fireworks. Dr. and Mrs. Dale watched the procession from the windows of John Graham's club, and Mrs. Freeman stayed at Virginia Lodge to look after Billy and the animals. Unfortunately she forgot to tie up Angeline, the goat, who munched Mrs. Mountford's peas and lettuces, Mrs. Sandiman's dahlias, and Monument's Coronation border!
