★ Travel Talks
The Orient
' Where the West reaches the East
(Vladivostok) '
ROBERT BYRON
Reaching out eastwards from Moscow for thousands of miles is the Trans-Siberian Railway, probably the greatest achievement of its kind in the world. It leaves the Occident at Moscow and reaches the Orient in Vladivostok, Russia's most easterly seaport.
The speaker this afternoon has travelled on this railway and knows Vladivostok well.

'The Blacksmith'
S. P. B. Mais
vans have recently visited two smithies of very different kinds, one in Nottinghamshire, the other in Sussex.
Standing on the village green of Wellow in Notts is Richard True-man's smithy, a forge in the real old tradition. But in that of Frederick Bish of Shoreham all modern improvements have been installed. No horse ever enters the Bish smithy, which, with all-electrical apparatus, is concerned with motor cars, tractors, and modern iron-work.
S. P. B. Mais will link the recordings with narration, and the two smiths, who have never met before, will be in the studio to talk about fheir jobs.
