' Restoring a Home to Water Birds '
A fen mere re-created in Cambridgeshire
J. Wentworth Day
The reclaiming of marshland in the eastern counties of England which has gone on through the centuries has been an excellent thing for everything but the marshland birds that used to inhabit it. Today the editor of Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News is to tell listeners about the success he has already achieved in re-creating marshland out of a piece of land he inherited in Cambridgeshire. The bittern, among other interesting birds, has already come back.
James Wentworth Day was assistant editor of Country Life in 1925 and acting editor of The Field in 1930. He is the author of a number of books and authentic articles on sports and birds, and has recently returned from Egypt, where he advised the Egyptian Government on the preservation of birds. Later on he is to give a talk on his experiences out there.

Violin Concerto No, 5, in A (K. 219)
Mozart
1 Allegro aperto. 2 Adagio. 3 Rondo: Tempo di minuetto
Paul Makanowitzky is the son of a Russian violinist who lives in Paris. He received his first lessons on the violin at the age of four at the Russian Conservatoire in Paris. At the age of seven he gave his first recital, and later became a pupil of Jacques Thibaud. Although only sixteen years of age he has already given concerts with great success in France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Holland, and Sweden. He made his first appearance in England before the microphone in October, 1936.
Superb Understanding
Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5, in A (K.219) is the fifth of six concertos written by him during 1775 and 1776. He was about twenty at the time of the first, and since he was then practising the violin hard-he was actually quite an accomplished player—it is presumed he composed them as much for his own use as for use by others. This concerto is scored for small prchestra, two oboes, two horns, and strings, and the solo part is written with superb understanding of the genius of the instrument.
