'Clumps master',
F. H. Grisewood
Most listeners must have played the game of clumps at some time or other. This is a radio version of it. Each side in the studio will be given a list of famous people's names, and the other side must guess who they are by asking no more than twelve questions, which can only be answered by yes or no.
So that the game shall not be too difficult the names chosen will be those of famous politicians, actors and actresses, historical characters, cartoonists or their creations, radio stars, sportsmen or women, singers, aviators, explorers, painters, and novelists.

The Rt. Rev. W. J. Carey , D.D.,
Chaplain of Eastbourne College
This is the first of three talks in which speakers will discuss simply the vital religious issues at stake in Everyman's search for spiritual certainty. The Rt. Rev. W. J. Carey won his Rugger blue at Oxford, and when serving as chaplain on board the Warspite went through the Battle of Jutland. He was at one time Bishop of Bloemfontein. He is the author of a number of small books on religion which may be said to deal with the big truths in a simple way.

An appeal on behalf of THE SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND
MARINERS' ROYAL BENEVOLENT
SOCIETY by CYRIL MAUDE
An honorary representative of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, whose duty it is to feed, clothe, and send home all destitute men landed on our shores, is to be found in every port and nearly every village on the coasts of the British Isles.
All widows and orphans of those lost at sea are sought out and relieved according to their necessities. Fishermen and mariners are encouraged to become members of the Society at a small annual fee, thereby becoming eligible for grants in old age or infirmity, and in cases of loss of clothes or gear.
For one hundred years the Society has worked for the benefit of seafarers. but the fixed income is small, and the annual cost of helping the shipwrecked and the widows and orphans of fishermen and sailors, together with the necessary widespread organisation, amounts to about £30,000 each year, the greater part of which must be raised from voluntary sources.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Cyril Maude , Esq., [address removed]

Episode 8—'The Barricade' in which Henry Ainley plays the part of ' Valjean ' and the Story-Teller is Leo Genn
(by permission of Godfrey Tearle )
After serving an unjust sentence of nineteen years in the galleys, Jean Valjean , a penniless French peasant, is released into a country upon which he swears eternal vengeance. He is, however, spiritually redeemed by the Bishop of Dauphine, and in consequence becomes a philanthropic man of means. In Lorraine he adopts a child named Cosette, but his good intentions are thwarted by the brutal police inspector Javert, his one-time slavemaster on the galleys. Valjean is sentenced again to the slaveships, but escapes and flees to Paris with Cosette, relentlessly pursued by Javert.
In the last instalment you heard how Cosette, now fully grown and in love with a young revolutionary, Marius, said farewell to him as he went to defend the barricades in the ententes of 1832, and how Javert and Valjean found themselves at the same barricade. Today's instalment carries the story a step farther in an inferno of musket shot and bomb in the flaming Paris streets.
