PRINCESS ELIZABETH especially added

herself to children who have been evacuated to country districts, or overseas, in her first broadcast. which was inade during the BBC Children's Hour yesterday.

"Thousands of you," said the Princess, "have had to leave your homes and be separated from your fathers and mothers. My sister. Margaret Rose and I feel so much for you, as we know from expérience what it means to be away from those we love most of all.

"To you living in new sur- roundings, we send a message of true sympathy and at the same time we should like to thank the kind people who have welcomed you to their homes in the coun- try.

are

"All of us children who still at home think continually of our friends and relations who have gone overseas thousands of miles to find a wartime home and

of the kindly welcome in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States.

New Scenes

My sister and 'I feel we know quite a lot about these countries. Our father and mother have so often talked to us of their visits in different parts of the world that it is not difficult for us to picture the sort of life you are all leading and to think of all the new sights you must be sce- ing and the adventure you must be having..

"I want, on behalf of all the children, to send you our love and best wishes to you and your kind hosts. Before I finish, I can 'ruthfully say to you all that we children at home are full of cheerfulness and courage. We are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailors, soldiers and alimen, und we are trying too to bear our own share of danger and sadness of war.

Task Of Future...

"We know, everyone

of us, that in the end all will be well for God will care for us and give us victory and peace.

"When peace comes, remember it will be for us the children of to-day to make the world મૈં better and happier place..

"My sister is at my side and we are both going to say good- night to you. Come on, Mar-

garet."
