Edward Isaacs , who has been broadcasting for over twelve years, is a Manchester musician. His studies abroad brought him into close contact with a number of distinguished musicians, including Busoni, Godowsky, Nikisch, Backhaus, Joachim, and Cortot. About ten years ago long-threatened blindness completely overtook him, but it would seem that so tragic a handicap has affected his playing only by adding strength and beauty to his interpretations.

Beethoven's Piano Trio in B flat, Op. 97, was written in 1811 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria. It is a melodious and beautifully balanced work in four movements. The first movement is in the usual sonata form, the second a fine scherzo, the third a set of four variations on a slow and expressive theme, and the fourth a high-spirited rondo in which the principal theme appears five times.
F. Buckley Hargreaves
The second guest artist to broadcast in this series has been broadcasting the ' London Log' on the North Regional wavelength for the last three years, and is now going strong in his fourth year of broadcasting. ' London Log' tells Northern listeners anything and everything of interest, both about Northerners in London and about London's doings. A Northerner himself, he was described by the Yorkshire Post as the ' first London correspondent for a BBC Region.'
He is also a well-known journalist and an inveterate filmgoer. He broadcast as the ' West End Cinemagoer ' in one of the discussions in the popular Cinema series early this year, and has given a number of talks to the Empire.

An appeal on behalf of THE SHAFTESBURY HOMES AND
ARETHUSA TRAINING SHIP by Admiral of the Fleet the EARL
OF CORK AND ORRERY, G.C.B.,
G.C.V.O.
The Arethusa Training Ship-one branch of the Shaftesbury Homes-was the outcome of a famous supper given to 200 homeless boys of London by the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury on St. Valentine's Day, 1866. At that supper, held in the Society's refuge in Great Queen Street, Lord Shaftesbury asked how many boys would like a sea life, if a ship could be obtained. A forest of hands went up. In December of that year the first 50 boys stepped on board the Chichester.
Eight years later, a larger ship was needed, and the Arethusa, the last ship to go into action solely under sail, was lent by the Admiralty, the Baroness Burdett - Coutts giving E5,000 towards fitting her out as a training ship. From August 3, 1874, until July, 1933, when from sheer old age she was condemned by the Admiralty, thousands of boys were trained in her. In that same month and year her successor was inaugurated, and today 240 boys are having their chance aboard her.
Admiral of the Fleet the Earl of Cork and Orrery is chairman of the ship's committee.
The Society is also responsible for four country homes for boys, a country home for girls, and a hostel in London for boys working away from home and those receiving instruction in various trades. Since 1843 no fewer than 34,169 children have had the benefit of the Society' care and training.

' The chief beauty of this book lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them ; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood specially George, who weighs about twelve stone ....'
