Considering the accessibility of Germany, and the variety it offers to holiday-makers, it is no wonder every year sees it more and more popular. Take, for example, the Black Forest. Little more than a day's journey from London, it offers as complete an 'escape' from the workaday life of Western Europe as can be found. With Freiburg as centre-its lace-spired cathedral dominating everything-one can make excursions into the pine-covered hills, climb the Feldberg in the south or the Hornisgrunde in the north, visit villages where the peasants still go dressed in their gay native costumes, or accept the ready hospitality of the hill-side farmers whose carved verandas look out over the green hills they so diligently plough. Tired, one returns to the amenities of Freiburg, with its Opera House, its concerts, and theatres, its gay streets, and its university life, to be refreshed against the next adventure into surrounding hills.
FOR the last of his present series of talks, based on personal adventures among birds, Mr.
Massingham takes us to such favourite haunts and sanctuaries as Blakeney, where, on the low stretches of the East Anglian coast, the best possible insight is obtainable into the ways and habits of terns and merlins, gulls and red-shanks, and hosts of other seashore birds. In addition to these, Mr. Massingham tells of some more unusual frequenter of the coast-buzzards, ravens, and wagtails, to name only a few.
8.0 8.30 (Daventry only) Mr. NORMAN WALKER: ' Next Steps in Biology-VI, The Ventilation of our Bodies.' Relayed from Leeds
MR. WALKER'S series of biological talks-whose aim has been to help listeners to learn something of science at first hand, by performance of experiments, and by making direct observations-comes to a close with this talk, on the ventilation of our bodies. The experiments with blood that were begun on May 28 are continued ; we learn how the blood reaches the living tissues, and we watch the work of the red blood-cells. We all understand, these days, the importance of ventilating our rooms ; but the ventilation of our bodies, through the great windows of the lungs, is still too infrequently given the serious consideration it demands.
