@ Our Parish
(A special series for Rural Schools by Edith E. Macqueen , Ph.D.)
' Across the Moor '
Part of the parish of ' Thorwick ' is contained in the rolling moorlands that sweep inland from the sea. Today listeners will be invited to take part in a radio ramble from the harbour to the ' house upon the moor '. By way of the riverside path they will cross the sea-marsh, pass through the dividing birch-woods and emerge on the open wastes of the moor which teems with life of every kind.

' The English We Hear '
HAROLD ORTON , Lecturer in English at King's College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, University of Durham
The Angles who settled in Northumbria, the Jutes who colonised Kent, the Saxons who populated South and Western England, all left their imprint upon the English language. The Englishman's ancestor is the forefather of his dialect, and whether he speaks in standard English-based on the English of Chaucer and Caxton-or with the deepest Devonshire burr, he is none the less speaking correctly. These are some of the ppints which will he brought out in today's talk by Harold Orton who is a member of the BBC's Committee for Spoken English. The speaker will illustrate his broadcast with records made in London, Kent, Derbyshire, Northumberland, and America.
