Songs and Imitations by Ronald Gourley. A Cake for Grumble Groan ' (Christine Chaundler). Positive Percy and the Morse Message,' written and told by E. Le Breton Martin
THE names appearing in this programme are very familiar to all Children's Hour listeners. Ronald Gourley has always something new, but he has always room for old favourites as well, and in both types of item he is invariably popular. Probably no tune has ever ' caught on ' more swiftly and more thoroughly than his ' Dicky Bird Hop,' but his variations on Susie ' and his imitations of a musical box, a worn gramophone, and a barrelorgnn run the songster on the sycamore tree very close.

Not all yachtsmen can go to Cowes, but they will all be keen to hear the account of to-day's rating that Mr. Scott-Hughes will give.

It is from the year's camp at New Romney that some spirited singing will be relayed tonight.
