Absence
Au cimetière (In the Graveyard)

'Absence' is the best known of the ' Summer Nights ' group. Its striking opening bars are used as a kind of motto. In the next, ' In a Graveyard ', a sombre pulsing three-four rhythm persists throughout. In 'The Unknown Island ' the singer is persuading a girl to sail the seas with him.

Mr. J. A. SCOTT WATSON (Professor of Rural Economy in the University of Oxford)
Professor Scott Watson , who continues his tour of the countryside to see at first hand the . changes that are affecting rural life, has made a recent survey of five counties : Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Huntingdon and Bedfordshire.

A St. Andrew's Day Programme
(Scottish Regional Programme)
The festival of St. Andrew, Patron Saint of Scotland,. is celebrated by Scotsmen in every corner of the globe. Last year listeners were taken to St. Andrews to hear a real Caledonian fantasy ; the year before they were taken on a broadcast tour of Scotland ; this year, for a change, they will hear Robert Burnett and his celebrated Choir, accompanied by the Scottish Orchestra, singing those songs all Scotsmen especially love on this day. Before broadcasting came, the exiled Scot, on November 30, may well have said with a pang, ' My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here '. But he can say it no longer, for ho has only to tune in to bring Scotland to him.

Eye-Witness Account by JACK HOOD of this eveniag's Boxing Match at the Albert Hall
Tonight's big fight has all the added interest that attaches to the meeting of champions at different weights. Jack Petersen is, of course, heavyweight champion of Great Britain ; Len Harvey was only recently a middleweight. He has won.his way to the cruiser title, and challenged Petersen for the supremo crown. On paper the match should be one-sided, but Harvey is one of the most skilful boxers living, and it may be that his undoubted mastery of ringcraft and the defensive arts will offset Petersen's clear superiority in weight and punch. If it does, boxing history will be made tonight, and Jack Hood , himself a famous champion, and an old rival of Len Harvey , can be trusted to do full justice to the event.
