' Country into Town '
F. G. Thomas
This is the third of the new series in which F. G. Thomas is reviewing the very real problems of population drift in Britain today.
The towns themselves are spreading farther and farther over the countryside, and ribbon development is changing the face of the land and the lives of the people. The relationship between the townsmen and countrymen is constantly changing, and it is probably true that the two, year by year, come to know each other better.
In the studio this evening
F. G. Thomas hopes to have with him a number of town and country dwellers. These people will discuss why the city attracts the young countrymen, what is lacking in village life, and what kind of rural reform might be successful in keeping the English countryman on the land.

at the Royal Albert Hall
Speeches by Sir Frank Bowater , the Lord
Mayor of London and The Right Hon. Sir John Anderson , G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., M.P., Lord Privy Seal
In the Royal Albert Hall tonight will be gathered together representatives of the Metropolitan Boroughs, representatives of big commercial interests in London, and detachments of A.R.P. workers already enrolled to hear speeches by the Lord Mayor of London and the Lord Privy Seal, the Rt. Hon. Sir John Anderson. Both of these will be broadcast. Though the occasion may appear to be of interest to London only, the speeches will be directed to a much wider audience and their appeal will be nation-wide.
There will be music and community singing: the former arranged by Sir Walford Davies and played by the London Fire Brigade Band and the Metropolitan Police Band ; and something of this may be heard by listeners, together with a description of the scene. The Lord Mayor is due to speak at 8.15, and the Lord Privy Seal at 8.20. Among the distinguished audience present will be the Minister of Labour and the Rt. Hon. Herbert Morrison , Leader of the L.C.C.
