A Commentary on the Closing Ceremony from the Olympic Stadium, Berlin
This evening listeners will be able to hear and to visualise something of the symbolism and pageantry which is to mark the closing of the games at the Olympic Stadium. The trumpet fanfare; the final address by the Count de Vaillet-Latour; Beethoven's Sacrificial Song. The garlanding of banners by women, the hauling down of the Olympic flag, the firing of a salute, the departure of the flagbearers, the extinguishing of the Olympic fire. One minute's silence; and then luminous signs will tell the vast audience that the first Olympic Games were held in Greece in 1896 and that the next Olympic Games will be held in a country yet to be decided in 1940. The ceremony will close with the whole audience shaking hands, neighbour with neighbour, all round the stadium.

ANTONIA BUTLER (violoncello)
7.3 ANTONIA BUTLER AND ORCHESTRA Saint-Saen's 'Cello Concerto No. I in A minor was composed in 1872 and first performed at a Paris Conservatoire concert in the following year. In its construction it shows the influence of Liszt, for it is in one continuous movement, consisting of three sections that in outline correspond to the three movements of classical procedure. But these sections are all thematically related to each other : the music is almost entirely based on the thematic material announced in the opening allegro section. 7.22 ORCHESTRA

An appeal on behalf of THE UNITED SERVICE TRAINING CENTRE, TENTERDEN,
KENT, by Sir CHARLES IGGLESDEN
The object of the Training Centre at St. Michael's Grange, Tenterden, in the Weald of Kent, is to alleviate unemployment and fill vacancies existing in the country by bringing young men from the distressed areas to the south and training them as cooks (under a chef with the highest diplomas) and domestic servants. The full complement at present is fifty, and after intensive instruction these young men who have been unemployed, many of them since they left school, are turned out fully qualified cooks and so forth. The number of unemployed suitable for such training is almost limitless, and the number of employers eager to absorb them increases every day.
Though this experiment of national importance is in receipt of a generous grant from the Ministry of Labour, an additional £ 1,000 a year has to be raised voluntarily for it to be carried on. Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to [address removed]

Everyone knows Graham Peel 's setting of ' In Summertime on Bredon ', but the rest of his music, though by no means unknown, deserves much wider popularity than it has won so far. A North Countryman born near Manchester in 1877, an old Harrow boy, and a graduate of University College, Oxford, Peel had the good luck to carry out his musical studies under Dr. Ernest Walker , one of the most enlightened and experienced of teachers. He has made a speciality of song writing; besides such song cycles as ' The Country Lover' and ' The Shropshire Lad', he has produced settings of many separate songs, all characterised by manly, straightforward sentiment and brightly melodious ideas.

JOHN MOREL
Tonight the popular orchestra at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, is to play a new composition ' Love's Melody ' by Franz Lehar , and Leslie Jeffries is to play a new violin solo, ' Valse Caprice', by Cyril Hellier , composer of the well-known ' Chinese Rhythm '.
It is good news for the many admirers of Jeffries that he is shortly to make his first appearance in London since he went to the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, nearly two and a half years ago. He is to appear at Radiolympia for three days during the second week (the first week in September) and is the only solo violinist engaged for Radiolympia. He will play both alone and with his trio, consisting of himself, violin, Sydney Ffoulkes , piano, and Orazio Fagotti , 'cello, both of whom regularly broadcast from Eastbourne with the Grand Hotel Orchestra.
