The Second TRANSATLANTIC SPELLING BEE

The Transatlantic Spelling Bee, broadcast in January, was such a popular success that three more have been arranged. The final two, which have been fixed for March 20 and April 3, will be confined to this country, but this evening's will be a Transatlantic match like the first. 
The same rules will be used as in the first Transatlantic Spelling Bee. Each compere in turn sets a difficult word to the other team, and their first speller tries to spell it. If he spells it correctly, he gains a point for his side ; if he mis-spells it, a gong is sounded, and the word has then to be spelt by the corresponding member of the other side. Each speller is allowed thirty seconds in which to answer. The score is read out at the end of each round, and the winners are the side that has scored the most points by the end of the match. 
As before, the teams will consist of eight spellers on each side, but they will be composed, not of undergraduates, but of representatives of eight different occupations, as follows : 
An Actress 
A City Typist 
A Business Man A Writer 
A Sportsman A Broadcaster 
A Schoolboy 
A Representative of the Services 
The Spelling Bee will be conducted, as before, by Paul Wing (U.S.A.) and Thomas Woodrooffe (England) Arranged in co-operation with the National Broadcasting Company of America

THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE

An appeal on behalf of THE MEATH HOME FOR CHILDREN, 
OTTERSHAW, SURREY by LEWIS CASSON 
The late Countess of Meath founded the home which now bears her name in 1888, and some hundreds of boys and girls have passed out of it qualified to earn their own living. It is not endowed, and the Ministering League has for many years supported the home from its trust-funds and through branches of the League in England and overseas. 
Two years ago the Trustees of the League provided a capital sum with which improvements, long overdue, were carried out, and in consequence there is a loss of over £50 in annual income. In addition to this there has been the inevitable decrease of income owing to the deaths of benefactors. 
Twelve boys and twenty girls are supported in the home and all who are admitted are in real need. The cost of a cot is £30 a year. This appeal is made largely for the sake of children-whose applications must often be refused because no free place is available. 
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]

Sunday Orchestral Concerts: Eighth Season - 21

Ida Haendel (violin)
The BBC Orchestra (Section B)
Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Sir Henry J. Wood

There are not many violin concertos that, apart from purely violinistic considerations, desire to be called "great" music - perhaps barely a dozen. Among these Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor takes a very high place, for in addition to the beautiful and effective solo writing, the orchestral texture, light and graceful though it is, is intended to be symphonic in importance rather than a mere accompaniment to a brilliant violin solo. Each of the three movements is simple in design and lyrical in appeal.
