THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, BATURDAY, AUGURT 1, 1986,
THERE'S no music so
blithesome as that of a bagpipe....and you'll find no whisky with a flavour to match that of Teacher's "Highland Cream," the grandest Scotch that ever came out of the Highlands. Teacher's inimitablo flavour appeals so greatly to lovers of good Scotch that it has built the largest independent distilling business in all of Great Britain. Bottled in bond in the United Kingdom under government supervision by WM. TEACHER & SONS, LTD., GLASGOW and LONDON.

THE down score, arched bramble and dwarf thorn, until, where
the land slopes sharply away from the ridge, the house comun sud- denly, into view.
Its high, solid walls of flint and brick seem to spring straight from the downland turf which home it in on every side.
Thore is no rond or pathway to break the green herbage which surrounds it in the valley where it stands. The sheep graze beneath its broken windows and in the walled yard where the farm buildings are falling into rain.
The red-tiled roof of the house 'looks as sound ns when it was built not many decades ago, and there is an air of expectancy about the place, as though a new tenant might be coming any day. But the last tenant left it when this century, was young.

THE KING

BROADCAST OF CORONATION
ADIO news to-day is of the King's Coronation. It is good news.
Because, as I understand the situation, the B.B.C. is bracing itself for the great- est, the most expensive and claborate effort of its career.
Already orders have gone forth to heads of programme departments. By August next, suy these orders, we want your ideas and suggestions for a year of Coronation brondensta.
Which means, my friends, that for twelve solid months during 1937-38 the B.B.C, propuses to put up programmes unlike any you have heard before. Money. I understand, is to be of no object.
A substantial increase in pro- gramme allowance, you may re- member, was made during the period of the Jubilee Celebration programmes last year...
The allowance to be made to producers during 1937-38 Corona- tion programmes is considerably in advance of that--beyond any normal producer's wildest dreams. The Coronation is on May 12, 1937.
But long before that, probably about February, the B.B.C. will begin its succession of gala pro- grammes,
BIG MONEY STARS Famous artists, American and Continental, are to be engaged throughout the year-artists who, in normal circumstances, would be beyond the B.B.C.'s pocket,
Every producer and assistant producer is expected to work to- wards making 1937 programmes the brightest, snappiest, and most original yet conceived,
In charge of the light entertain- ment department will be Eric Maschwitz. He is on holiday at the moment, but It Is anticipated that he will return about August. with a cut and dried schedule in his pocket. Plans for the actual Coronation Day are going ahead. The King will speak on May 12.
THE KING'S SPEECH
He will broadenst a message to the Empire, explaining the Corona- tion ceremony and its significance in Imperial matters.
Listeners will also hear a com- mentary on the scenes at Bucking- ham Palace us the King leaves in his golden coach. Dozens of microphones, anch with an attend- ant commentator, will line the routes.
In Westminster Abbey, it is hoped, there will be more micro phones-each in a point of van-. tuge to describe the spectacle.
SERVICE, BROADCAST Listeners will probably hear the actual service, and the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury as he pinces the crown on the King's head.
One hundred thousand people, Including 200 Indian princes, and the crowned honds of most of the world, are expected to visit Eng. land during the summer of 1937. The B.B.C. is out to show them, as woll na its.own listeners, that British broadcasting la accond to none. in the world...
