Northern listeners will remember' that in the past there were two Manx races-the Mannin Moar (for big cars) and the Mannin Beg (for small ones). Last year, however, these were merged into a single event — the R.A.C. International Light Car Race. It is for cars up to 1,500 c.c. engine capacity, and is run over fifty laps of a four-mile circuit. It has been truly described as a ' round the houses ' event.
In this period listeners will hear the finish of the race. The start and a description of the race in the running were given on North at 1.45 and 3 p.m. respectively.

This is the third edition of Harold Ramsay 's popular ' Radio Rodeos '. The scene is set on a Mexican
Ranch and the local colour is as true to life as maybe, for Harold Ramsay actually owns one. Clapham and Dwyer have become a regular feature of the Rodeos; Beryl Orde is the well-known mimic ; Hal Yates is over here from America, and a great favourite and recording star in the States. With the world-famous American singer, Hildegarde, Mr. Flotsam and Mr. Jetsam, Carroll Gibbons , and Carroll and Howe, the programme is as strong as ever. The Eight Step-Sisters were, of course, the original dancers for BBC ' Music-Hails '.

' Have we too many words? '
Leonora Lockhart
Natioh is isolated from nation by barriers due to the existence of more than 1,500 languages. One way of breaking these down is to use a simplified form of our own language with fewer words and far less complicated rules of grammar. Miss Lockhart is Assistant Director of the Orthological Institute, where she has worked for some years with C. K. Ogden. She will illustrate the talk with gramophone records.
