History in the Making
' I believe in Tom, Dick, and Harry '
JOHN HILTON
(Professor of Industrial Relations, in the University of Cambridge)
Previous talks in this series have been on big affairs, big events, big personalities. Today John Hilton is going to talk of democracy, and he will show how you who are listening are really ' history in the making ', whether your names are Tom, Dick, and Harry, or Peggy, Joan, and Kate. It is you, now young, who will be the men and women of the future, and to you Professor John Hilton is to explain his .creed. His sympathy with everyone who finds life difficult (he found it especially difficult, and none of you are going to find it easy) has helped to make him one of the most popular broadcasting personalities today.

THE LONDON WIND QUINTET :
Robert Murchie (flute) ; Alec Whittaker (oboe) ; Frederick Thurston (clarinet) ; Frederick Wood (bassoon);
Edmund Chapman (horn) ;
ERNEST LUSH (pianoforte)
There are few traces of the folk-song element in the music of Felix White. One of the exceptions is the present work for wind quintet, Two Folk-Song Fancies, which was written in 1934. These two pieces, both of which are based on eighteenth-century tunes, are easy to follow, being in the manner of free, informal variations on the old tunes, which are heard every time in their entirety as each instrument takes a turn in the discourse.
