H.M.S. Osprey is the name ship for H.M. Anti-Submarine School ot Portland: it is situated on the East Weare almost immediately beneath the towering walls of the old Portland Convict Prison, now one of His Majesty's Borstal Institutions. The site is closely associated with St. Paul's Cathedral, for it was from here and other parts of the East Weare that Sir Christopher Wren quarried and shipped the Portland stone which he used for building the great Cathedral. It is of interest that Parliament passed an Act forbidding the exportation of stone from
Portland until St. Paul's Cathedral had been adequately supplied.
H.M. Anti-Submarine School was first commissioned early in 1918 as a wartime hydrophone station and was named H.M.S. Sarepta: it was not until April, 1924, that the title H.M.S. Osprey was given to the establishment. At nine o'clock on Sundays the men are paraded at ' divisions ', and a general inspection by the Captain takes place. On completion of divisions and at the prescribed time for church parade the ship's bell is rung, and the men are ' piped ' to church.

Chrysanthemums and Dahlias D. B. Crane and C. H. Middleton
This afternoon C. H. Middleton is bringing D. B. Crane , the dahlia and chrysanthemum specialist, to the microphone to discuss early chrysanthemums and dahlias. Mr. Crane is a prominent member of the Royal Horticultural Society and has done a lot towards the development of the flowers under discussion. He is Chairman of the Joint Dahlia Committee, drawn from the National Dahlia Society and the Royal Horticultural Society.
Middleton, by the way, is being congratulated just now by his friends -his friends who are professional gardeners especially-for he has just been made an Associate of Honour by the Royal Horticultural Society for distinguished services to horticulture. The holders are limited to a hundred in the whole world.

An appeal on behalf of THE SEAMEN'S MISSION, by Sir CHARLES SANDERS , K.B.E.
For over ninety years the Seamen's Mission has been engaged in the service of Merchant Seamen. Beginning in 1843 as a Missionary Society among sailors, it has adapted its methods to the changes in the seafarer's life which have occurred since then. In 1902 the Queen Victoria Seamen's Rest was erected to provide a comfortable ' home' for seamen in port, and a healthy centre' of recreation. Ever increasing in scope and influence, the hostel has been enlarged several times, and once' again the Seamen's Mission is faced with the problem of additional accommodation.
Sir Charles Sanders has been intimately associated with the work for many years and is at present joint-treasurer of the Mission.

A Pot-Pourri arranged and conducted by Stanford Robinson and played by The BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Just as Johann Strauss occupies a permanent place in the affections of the Viennese, so have Sir Arthur
' Sullivan and Sir Edward German endeared themselves to the British.
Despite the growing tendency of light music towards new styles and more modern forms, Sullivan and German sfill retain their own devoted public.
