F. S. FRANKLIN
(Chairman of the Norfolk Bee-
Keepers' Association)
Last week listeners were introduced to the fascinating and profitable hobby of bee-keeping, and today F. S. Franklin , Chairman of the Norfolk Bee-Keepers' Association, is to take listeners a stage further.
Though in the days of skeps, when the bees were destroyed before the honey was taken, nearly everyone kept bees for honey, ' mead ', and beeswax, it is only in the last fifty years that bee-keeping has become a matter not of chance but of certainty, given favourable weather.
Mr. Franklin will discuss ' single-walled' and ' double-walled' hives, initial outlay, wintering, the incubation and fostering of the young, swarming, and so forth.
He will describe the joy of taking your first honey, discuss the yield and how it is extracted from the combs by machinery and never touched by hand, and finally show what a valuable food honey is and the number of purposes to which it may be put.
The most surprising thing of all perhaps is to learn that from May to August not more than fifteen minutes' attention need be given in a week to each hive of bees, and that during the winter months they require little attention at all.

TOYOHIKO KAGAWA, D.D.
From Oslo
This afternoon listeners are to hear one of the most distinguished figures in Japan talking direct from Oslo on the occasion of the World's Sunday School Convention that is this year being held there.
Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa was born in Tokyo in 1888. It was intended that he should enter the Diplomatic Service, but, converted to Christianity, he preferred to live among the poor in the Shinkawa slums of Kobe in Japan.
Kagawa himself once gave this account of how he came to write his first book : ' I was ill and they had sent me to a fishing village. I nearly died there. But I still had work to do, so I hadn't time to die. While I was there I began to write down my thoughts on any old paper I could lay my hands on. It is a sort of novel, and I have called it "Across the Death Line ", for I myself crossed that line, but the great need of the world drew me back '.
For this book Kagawa received the sum of C250 which he spent in helping those around him who were in need. The profits from his forty odd books and countless newspaper articles have been devoted entirely to his Christian settlement work in the slums.
An article on the World Sunday
School Movement will be found on page 1

Igor Vinogradov

Here is an account of a typical Parliamentary election of 1770, in the small English town of Greathampton. Listeners will look in vain for this by-election in the historical records, but this evening they will hear the unique account of it given by Colonel Amaziah Penmayne, an American who was visiting England during the election and wrote a very full account of it to his fiancee in New England. The Colonel was an enthusiast for the cause of progress and civil liberties; so, apparently, were some of the rowdiest elements in Greathampton at the time.

ST. MARTIN'S SUMMER APPEAL by the Rev. PAT McCormick , D.S.O.
The Holiday Fund was started many years ago by Dr. Sheppard, then Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. By means of it, both he and his successor there, the Rev. Pat McCormick , have been able to help many poor people to have a good holiday, and especially those who have seen better days and to whom a small gift of money makes all the difference.
As all the work involved is done by voluntary helpers, there are no overhead expenses, the only charge upon the fund being the cost of postage and printing of receipts. Apart from this, every penny given goes towards somebody's holiday.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to the Rev. Pat McCormick , [address removed]
