A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes stories, and music
A mother, having read of the boy who believed 'his ladies' to be stating inside the wireless cabinet, asked her own nearly-five-year-old son where he thought they were. 'In the wireless,' be replied, and he, too, meant literally what he said. His brother, attempting to demonstrate the falseness of this idea, removed the back of the cabinet to show only the valves and wires. But, unlike some children we know, he was not nonplussed, for the explanation leapt to his mind - 'Oh, they do it.' he said, 'by 'mote control.' He had not, however, precociously solved the mysteries of radio transmission, but his brother 'had brought back from abroad a car which is steered by a wire manipulated from a distance. He evidently thought the same applied to the ladies and the wireless.'
This week, we exert our 'remote control' to bring, today and tomorrow, Dorothy Smith, with two stories about Richard and Maureen, by Joan E. Cass; on Wednesday and Thursday, Daphne Oxenford, with 'Joey the Budgie,' by Hilda Bramwell, and 'Josephine, the little black dolly,' by E. E. Ellsworth; and, on Friday, Julia Lang, with 'Dan's Holiday,' by Joan Martin. (Elizabeth A. Taylor)

(BBC recording)
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.00 am
Mrs. Dale learned that the Parkwood Hill local hospital was going to be converted into a children's hospital. Dr. Dale agreed with the proposal, but his partner Bruce Laurie and many of his patients were against the scheme. Mrs. Freeman noticed an accessories shop for sale in Parkwood Hill, which she suggested Sally might buy, since she didn't want to go to Exeter. Mrs. Morgan, Albert and Maggs began their holiday at the holiday camp. Maggs thoroughly enjoyed it and annoyed Mrs. Morgan by entering into the spirit of the camp wholeheartedly.
