Tonight, in the first talk of the autumn session, C. H. Middleton will be dealing with current events and will give a brief review of things in general, the crops and so on. He will refer to some correspondence, and then talk about spring flowers, mainly about bulbs in pots and bowls for indoors, which have to be got ready now. For, as always, the present belongs to the future so far as the gardener is concerned, while the past is of interest to show him the successes he has had and which he may have again, and the mistakes he has made which, as a consequence, he will now try to avoid.
This evening Geoffrey Boumphrey is to give the second of his three talks in the present series. He motored about 5,500 miles on the Continent in search of material and brought back over 350 photographs of interesting examples of town-planning, new streets, buildings, and so forth, four of which are reproduced on page 29. He found Vienna very disappointing, but then he says that the standard of life there is lower than anything we have here. The modem Vienna flats that have been so much talked about are not representative, he says, of the best modem work. Rome he was much struck with. Slum clearing going on round the historic portions of the city. Every beautiful vista preserved. Magnificent new streets.
Boumphrey spends five months of the year in his caravan on the Thames in Oxfordshire, and thus, as he remarks, keeps the balance between town life and country life. He designed the interior of his caravan himself; is an expert on cooking, and once wrote a cookery book. His ' Roman Roads ' has just gone into a third edition. He is starting work on his next book 'Town and Country Planning' for publication in the spring.

Bom in London in 1905, the son of the late G. W. Lambert , A.R.A., Constant Lambert studied at the Royal College of Music with Vaughan Williams and R. 0. Morris for composition, and with Dr. Adrian Boult and Dr. Malcolm Sargent for conducting.
The first important event in Lambert's career was a commission to write a ballet, Romeo and Juliet, for Diaghilev. This was the first time Diaghilev had ever asked a British composer to co-operate with him. A second ballet, Pomona, followed and Nijinska produced it in Buenos Ayres. It was, however, ' The Rio Grande ' that brought Lambert's name before the greater musical public.
Apart from his achievements as a composer, Lambert has shown himself to be a conductor with a forceful personality and exceptional gifts for interpretation.
