Why blame your Car?
By a Car Consultant
Today a woman motor-car consultant-one of the few women, if not the only woman, in the profession-is to talk about the care of cars and the carelessness of many owners. Why blame your car if you neglect to grease it, never have it overhauled, race the engine when it's cold ? A good car, uncared for, will soon become a bad one ; an old one, nursed, will go on endlessly.
This talk has a certain topicality as it comes in the middle of the annual Motor Show at Olympia, when many listeners will be starting ' from scratch ' with new cars.

ANTHONY HURD
This evening Anthony Hurd will deal first with the Dairy Show, which is to open in London tomorrow; he will then go on to discuss the developments of the past few years, including the creation of the Milk Marketing Boards, and the growing realisation of the needs for expanding the consumption of fresh milk for the benefit of the nation's health as well as British agriculture.

Reginald Berkeley 's play on the life of Florence Nightingale was first produced at the Arts Theatre on January 6, 1929, and went to the Garrick three weeks later. ' The Lady with a Lamp ' is to be played tonight by Diana Wyn yard, whom almost everyone will have seen in the film of Cavalcade.
She made her first appearance on the stage at the Globe Theatre in 1925, then toured the provinces in a repertory of over twenty parts. She did sterling work with the Liverpool Repertory Company, and has appeared in London in a number of West End plays, not least among them being Wild Decembers at the Apollo in 1933, in which she appeared as Charlotte Bronte, and which she subsequently ran under her own management. Listeners will remember her broadcast last year as Hermione in The Winter's Tale.
In a cast of so many distinguished actors and actresses, and well-known broadcasters, many listeners will pause at the name of Stella Patrick-Campbell , the charming and gifted daughter of Mrs. Patrick Campbell , one of the greatest actresses of modern times.
See the article on page 16
This play will be repeated in the Regional programme tomorrow at 7.30
