C.C. Gaddum

This afternoon Mr. Gaddum is to discuss the different kinds of seashore and what to look for on each; a rock pool and some of its curious inhabitants; common birds of the seashore - the seagull and the cormorant-and something about them.

Teachers will find it helpful to have illustrations or specimens of a limpet, a sea anemone, the egg-case of a dogfish, a hermit crab, a seagull, and a cormorant to show their class.

Here is a talk that was recorded for the Empire and is to be broadcast again in the National programme tonight. An old-timer from the Canadian West is to speak of his reactions to Britain when he was over here.
The scene, whether in Wales or Scotland or England, was in sharp contrast with the scene of the prairie he knows so well. Fox-hounds, the village pub, a bicycle, a car with the steering wheel on an unfamiliar side, coracles on the Severn, dandelion and damson wine, saddle horses in Rotten How—they are as strange to him as they are fascinating. Listeners who may be saving up for a little celebration with cold salmon on the sideboard may be amused to hear what bears think of salmon in the Canadian West.

This listing contains language that some may find offensive.
