Worcestershire v. Warwickshire
Another visit to the County Cricket
Ground, Dudley
Conversation between spectators discussing the Worcester v. Warwick match at Dudley on its secpnd day will be ' overheard' by listeners. This informal style of commentary was tried successfully at Trent Bridge on Whit Monday, and has been repeated at Edgbaston. The two spectators are again Richard Rickett , a keen student of the game and an ardent supporter of Surrey, and Stephen Fry , who played for Hampshire and is a son of ' C.B.'.

After learning to fly five years ago, Joan Parsons flew to the Cape and back last summer, taking three months in all.
She had many adventures. Having to land at Victoria West on the outward flight, she hit a barbed-wire fence, which wrapped itself round the propeller-shaft. It was not surprising that the plane had to go to Capetown for overhaul.
On the return journey she lost her way and had to come down in the middle of an African forest.
