It is only fair for me to say that the graduates to-day are de- serving of every praise! Not only have they to put in a minimum of 4 years of hard training, but they have also to pass a number of rigid examinations conducted by this Training School, as well as the Government Nursing and Midwife Boards.

Malayan Ruler's Gift

Malayan Broadcast

Malayan Rulers in the Federated and. Unfederated States alike are noted for the frequency of their practical demonstratioris of-- loyalty to Great Britain. The most recent gesture is a very fine one made by His Highness the Sultan of Kelantan to commemorate the Coronation. His Highness has made availablé a site for an aero- drome at Kota Bahru, the capital of his State, on the east coast of the Church when occasion arose the Peninsula and has also set aside.. a sum for its development and to bring before the legislature its maintenance.

Speaking about broadcasting brings me to the subject of the local radio station, writes a correspondent in the "Malaya Tribune." Chinese generally are of the opinion that the programme includes too little of interest to them-at present they get an average of 40 minutes' Chinese music on five days each week. I think I am ex--- pressing the opinion of the Chinese generally when. I say that more Chinese muste, radio plays, etc., should be included in the program- me that is broadcast dally by the Singapore station. That will most certainly have the desired effect of increasing, still further the num- ber of Chinese listeners. Think of the number of Chinese in Binga-. pore alone, and the possibility of adding more of them to the num ber of listeners if only the local station radiates programmes which are, in their opinion, in conformity with their requirements.

Take the case of Hong Kong. That city has some six to seven thousand listeners, and about three quarters of them are Chinese, Why? The reason is not hard to discover, for Hong Kong radiates Chinese music and radio plays for three hours each day.

ü

It is not for me, to pass comments on the programmies of the local station, but I am merely expressing the above opinion from a Chinese-point of view in the hope that it will be helpful to the BM.B.C. in arranging their programmes for the Chinese listeners:

Malayan Scouts Jamboree

The All-Malaya Coronation Jamboree is now in full swing, states a correspondent in the "Times of Malaya" I was at the station to see the local scouts entrain for the camp. Everyone looked eager to goy and their faces registered pleasure when they saw their comrades from the North arrive, ali bound for the Jamboree.

It was a truly inspiring sight at the station several "hundred Scouts, looking spick and span in their uniforms with their bright- coloured neckerchiefs."

The scene made me recall the days when I was a Scout and the grand time I enjoyed at a jamboree held in Ipoh some years ago.

However, to come back to my subject, I was certainly glad to Union, the Archbishop of Canter-see that Perak was able to send so big a contingent.
