Conductor, Sir DAN GODFREY
Relayed from The Pavilion, Bournemouth (Soloist, QUENTIN MACLEAN> )(First Performance)
In the words of the composer, Quentin Maclean , he has in this Organ Concerto purposely refrained from indulging in any startling harmonic innovations of ultra-modern order, and has deliberately aimed at producing a work that will be pleasing and acceptable to the general British concert public. The concerto is in one continuous movement, and apart from original subject matter it makes use of the plainsong themes ' Te Deum Laudamus ' and ' Ite Missa Est.' The concerto is inscribed ' in respect and admiration ' to Mr. John Compton , the builder of the organ in the Pavilion at Bournemouth, on which Mr. Maclean will perform this afternoon, and the inclusion of the two plainsong themes is in part a tribute to this master organ-builder's magnum opus at Downside Abbey.

Mr. ARCHIBALD HADDON
A new method: of presenting information of interest to -farmers is inaugurated tonight. Instead of the usual twenty-minute talk on a single. subject, the time will he devoted to shorter talks, discussions, questions and answers, all linked together by the commentator, Mr. John Morgan , who has combined practical farming in this country with a study of farming conditions abroad. Questions, criticisms, and suggestions from farmers will be welcomed, and Mr. Morgan will leave time each week for replies based on the advice of experts. The present re-organisation of agriculture makes this information service, which will include talks by practical farmers, discussion of' seasonal matters, of marketing, and of legislative changes, of vital importance to all engaged in farming.
' The Civil Service from Without'
As far as the man in the street is concerned, the Civil Service is also a secret service. It is forced on his attention as the butt of the cartoonist or of the music hall comedian and as the first objective of the economy campaigner, but he has little accurate knowledge of how, behind its veil of anonymity, it proceeds with the practical work of administration. This series is designed to enlighten him.
