★ Our Parish
A special series for Rural Schools by EDITH E. MACQUEEN , Ph.D.
' The Chapel'
Today's broadcast will have special reference to that notable reformer and preacher, John Wesley. Listeners will be told about the Wesleyan chapel at Moorsby, and will hear something about the chapel anniversary. An historical flash-back will describe a visit of John Wesley to the chapel and the sermon he preached. During the nineteenth century and the Industrial Revolution the chapel did a great deal to help factory workers. Conditions in the countryside changed, and hand-crafts began to disappear in districts where industry sprang up. You wilt hear something about those times, and what happened to Moorsby during them.

* Dramatic reading—'The Queen at Loch Leven' by HORTON GIDDY
This programme tells the story of how Mary Queen of Scots, meeting with Protestant opposition in Scotland, was seized and imprisoned in the island fortress of Loch Leven , in June, 1567.
While there, she was forced to abdicate in favour of her young son, who afterwards became James VI of Scotland and James I of England. But she was determined to escape if she could, and the affection of young Willie Douglas showed her a way. The broadcast ends with the Queen rowing across the loch and galloping off to safety-only a temporary safety, it is true-leaving Willie Douglas determined to follow on foot.

Mobilizing National Resources
' The Location of Modern
Industry'
F. G. Thomas
Representatives of industry will be in the studio to discuss with F. G. Thomas various aspects of the location of modern industry.
Industry today is much more mobile than in former years, and many factors are taken into consideration in choice of site. Social consequences follow on this location of industry, and movement from town to country has been common in recent years.
The two guests in the studio will be a director of a new factory on one of the big arterial roads, and a director of a factory in the heart of rural England. These two will explain their reasons for choosing such sites, and describe the effects of their choice upon local conditions.
