ONE of the responsibilities of civic status is jury service, and many women are now called upon to face it. In this afternoon's talk Dame Katharine Furze , who is well known for her prominent connection with the V.A.D., the W.R.N.A.S., and the Girl Guides, will describe her own experience of a day spent on a jury.

IN the fourth talk of his series, Mr. Cole approaches the great problem of population between 1750 and 1830, as it was set forth by the diverging opinions of Malthus and Godwin, respectively the pessimist and the optimist, as to whether England had not reached the stage of producing too many mouths to feed. This in its turn led to a growth in the scientific study of ' the dismal science' of economics, of which so much has been heard since the war.

9.35-10.30 'LOVE'
By LANCE SIEVEKING
Music arranged by Scott Goddard
Love makes the world go round, they say; but 'they' forget how wide a truth they utter. Time cannot change it, nor can any custom stale its infinite variety.
Everyone has in his life someone, or something, which is supremely important, for the sake of which he must and will struggle, careless of everything else. Love, in some form, is the mainspring which sets the mind of man in motion, be it love of an idea, a work, or a person.
In the short space of an hour's programme it is impossible to show more than a few of the many sides of love. I have, therefore, taken a handful of the most obvious and most famous examples of great lovers. They are David, Dante, Don Quixote, Charles the Second, Napoleon, Wordsworth, Florence Nightingale, Robert Browning, and Walt Whitman. All these loved greatly after their different fashions, and their whole lives were subjugated to their loves.
' The bringing of somewhat to timely birth in Beauty, both according to the flesh and according to the spirit-that is the Work of Love."—(Plato).
The music for ' Love ' has been arranged from Palestrina, Bach, Handel, Boyce, Schumann, .Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Stanford, Richard Strauss, De Falla, Beethoven, and Delius.
