The Extent of Voluntary Social Service
W. McG. EAGAR
If for some reason or other those who do voluntary social work at a cost of time, energy, and money were suddenly to give it up-local council, hospital, boys' club, or whatever it may be-what would be the result ? The boys' club might close down, but the council and hospital obviously could not. If they were run by the State, would the personal touch be lost ? Would it be found that these voluntary social services meant even more to the life of the country than was supposed ?
In the spring twelve talks were broadcast on the public social services, and they will be linked up with the present series. Listeners-Discussion Group listeners in particular, for whom the series is planned — are to hear why some things are done by the State and others by voluntary societies ; and in the opening talk this evening, Mr. W. McG. Eagar is to discuss the scope of the voluntary services, the history of which will be traced by Mr. C. H. Blakiston next Thursday.

On his particular Saint's day, the Welshman honours St. David, the Irishman St. Patrick, and the Scots-man St. Andrew ; but the Englishman seems to take little interest in St. George once he grows up, though year after year he cheers the patron Saint of England in Where the Rainbow Ends when he is young. Perhaps it is that St. George is too legendary a figure, and that the Englishman, grown up, needs more than the drum-beat, the shining armour, the red cross of the Saint to summon him to action.
Yet St. George's Day offers a glittering array of reasons for national pride. April 23 is Shakespeare's birthday. It is also the anniversary of the raid on Zeebrugge by the Dover Patrol. It is a day of love for England, however much Englishmen may pretend it isn't. Henry Ainley playing Henry V moved our hearts, with ' God for King Harry, England and St. George ', and there will be hearts that will be stirred by this English pageant that conjures up English history.

At the microphone this evening will be the Rt. Hon. Sir Archibald Sinclair , the leader of the Liberal Opposition, who will tell listeners what he thinks of the new Budget. Now in his forty-sixth year, he has been Liberal M.P. for Caithness and Sunderland since 1922. He entered the Army from Sandhurst, in 1910, and at the end of the war, in 1919, he was appointed Military Secretary to the Secretary of State. His next post was that of Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. In 1930-1931 he was Liberal Chief Whip, and in 1931-1932 Secretary of State for Scotland.
Tomorrow Mr. W. S. Morrison ,
M.P., will conclude this short series of talks.
