A Number of Mr. A. G. Prys-Jones' poems have been broadcast by himself and others during recent years. Several of these, notably from his volume 'Poems of Wales,' were written in Pembrokeshire, the lovely county of St. David, where he found much of his inspiration during his itineraries as Inspector of Schools. He has taken much interest in the Anglo-Cymric group of poets, and he collected the first anthology of the work of these poets a few years ago.
His 'Reflections on St. David's Day' will, no doubt, give him an opportunity of passing on to his listeners something of the magic and glamour' which he himself has found in West Wales.

Though a less highly-coloured figure than some of the other national patron Saints, St. David has a quiet charm which is all his own. For his countrymen his anniversary has always been a rallying point. The Cardiff Cymmrodorion Society are this year celebrating this in advance of the actual date-March 1. The guests are Mr. David Davies, of Llandinam, whose generosity of national and international enterprises is so well known, and Sir William Davies, who has just relinquished the Editorship of the Western Mail after many years of distinguished service.
