' Understanding Modern Poetry', 1
Humphrey Jennings
In his talk this week Humphrey Jennings will discuss the general accusation of obscurity levelled against modern poetry. He'will contend that in the past poets have been accused by their contemporaries of much the same thing. He wonders if it would be true to say that the-volume of objection raised today has simply increased because a far larger proportion of the public reads.

' Heavier than Air '
Tom Clarke
Here is the first of seven weekly broadcasts in a diverting new series in which it has been left to some well-known journalist to choose, and talk about, the most interesting incident in his journalistic experience. The story will not necessarily be chosen because it was a scoop.
Today Tom Clarke , author of ' My Northcliffe Diary', is to tell t- the story of the first official ' Aviation Week ', held at Blackpool under the auspices of the Royal Aero Club from October "18 to 23, 1909. It was not until the last day of the meeting that an aeroplane succeeded in leaving the ground-the story he got he regards as his best news story because on the strength of it he was transferred to a London paper.
