British History-9
' A Voyage with Captain Cook'
RHODA POWER
Last week Miss Rhoda Power told you about the Seventeen-Sixties in Britain -Britain made rich by her adventurers overseas. ' Our ships laden with the harvest of every climate ; our tables stored with spices and oils and wines.... We repair our bodies with the drugs of America, and repose ourselves under Indian canopies'-as Addison had written half a century before.
Today Miss Power is to tell you about another voyager from Britain-Captain James Cook-who sailed into the Southern Seas in 1768, discovered that New Zealand was made up of two islands, and explored a large part of the coast of Australia.

A Discussion on the Milk Board between THOMAS BAXTER (Chairman of the Board)
J. A. BARHAM
(a producer-retailer),
H. J. SAWYER
(a smallholder-producer) and JOHN MORGAN
This evening Mr. Thomas Baxter , Chairman of the Milk Marketing Board, is to have questions and criticisms about the working of the Milk Scheme fired at him by Mr. J. A. Barham , a producer-retailer from Berkshire. No doubt he will get as good as he gives, as Mr. Baxter is usually pretty straight and to the point. Mr. Barham, as a distributor with both town and country customers, will voice tome of the complaints heard by the roundsman, made by housewives.
Mr. H. J. Sawyer , a smallho!derproducer from the Melksham area, in Wiltshire, also feels that the small farmer is not getting a square deal under the Milk Scheme. So he is coming for a few minutes' heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Baxter as well.
Mr. John Morgan will be in the studio to ' keep the ring".
