GEOFFREY BOUMPHREY
From last October until April Geoffrey Boumphrey engaged in making a survey of the progress of town-planning in the Midlands, dealing specifically with certain towns, such as Birmingham, Coventry, Derby, Leicester, Corby, and so on. Listeners will remember the very successful broadcasts he gave from what was then known as Midland Regional under the title of "Ripe for Development". As a result of this, he decided to make an extensive tour on the Continent to see how town-planning was being carried on there.
He visited Brussels, Liege, Koblenz, Wiesbaden, motored from Frankfurt-am-Main, along the new Reichs Autobahn to Darmstadt near Frankfurt-am-Oder; saw Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Berlin and many other German towns and noticed the spectacular change in building from. the rational back to the romantic style; visited Czechoslovakia and found it the most encouraging from the point of view of modern architecture, though he was nearly arrested there for smoking a cigarette while driving. He visited Zlin, where Bata standardised everything, and found that Brno (Brunn when it was German) had the best example of housing he had seen anywhere except in German Kassel. And so to Austria and Italy.
This is the first of Geoffrey Boumphrey's three talks, the second of which he will broadcast at 7.10 on Friday evening this week.
Few men can have a better understanding of the difficulties and outlook of post-war Youth than Valentine Bell. He is old enough to compare them with the pre-war generation and is not among those to disparage them. He has been forty years a schoolmaster in London-in touch with young wage-earners all his life.
Before the war he worked in North
Lambeth and was head of the Whitehall institute for the Junior Messengers in the Government offices. After three and a half years in France he was appointed Principal of the White-chapel Day Continuation School, and he has been Chairman of the Battersea Juvenile Advisory Committee and the Battersea Juvenile Organisation Committee, and one of the educational advisers at Wandsworth Prison, where he has been- a voluntary tutor since 1923. Last year he made a notable report for the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust on ' Junior Instruction Centres and their Future '.
During the past month Valentine
Bell has again been studying ' Youth at first hand throughout Great Britain.; The second of his four talks is on Thursday evening this week.
