This is the third broadcast in this series that is designed to show the Empire's work through the mouths of the Empire's workers.

This evening a man who has been a professional hunter and trapper in Northern Canada is to tell listeners of a trapper's life. Into the woods by the beginning of October, building a hut, blazing the trees to show the way back when the snow comes... The snow-fall. The cache - or larder of moose hung on wire - life to the trapper. Reading by the light of the moon, setting the traps, coming on tragedies in the snow. Here a snowshoe rabbit that was pounced on by a lynx, there the skeleton of a man who was pounced on by the cold.

The next speaker will describe farming in Northern Rhodesia. Arriving on virgin land, sleeping out till the huts are built. Learning to be brickmaker and bricklayer, plasterer and joiner. Tobacco grown in seed beds like lettuce and planted out. Building the drying barn while it grows. Then the drying. Ruin, or adventure justified.

Thirdly, a civil engineer will discuss bridge building in the Federated Malay States. Measuring in the early morning because the sun expands the tape. So hot at midday that you can poach eggs on the steelwork of the bridge.

And lastly, a man who has been a District Officer in the Solomon Islands will describe his life there. A bungalow in a lovely garden, mosquitoes bringing malaria. Magistrate to the natives. Unfurling the Protectorate flag at dawn.

This very popular rhapsody has helped very largely to make Chabrier's reputation abroad, whatever may have contributed to that in France. In point of fact, however, Chabrier is always spoken of as one of the principal forerunners of the modern French school. Among other compliments that have been paid to this rhapsody is that by Waldteufel, who wrote a set of waltzes upon the principal themes.
