It May Pick You Out One Day together that night and in a

By JANE ALLISON

Every Saturday after

noon

in London eight people meet together at a tea party. None of them have met before, probably none of them will meet again. They are the people who make up a programme known to mil- lions of listeners through- out the world-"In Town To-night."

Perhaps one day you will be one of those eight people. You may come to London with a story you would like to tell the world about your job and your experiences. If you ring up or write to Mr Meehan or Miss Clark of the B.B.C., and if they think the world would like to hear your story, they will be delighted to arrange for you to come to the microphone and tell it.

"In Town To-night" was started about seven years ago and immediately caught on as one of the most popular radio fea- tures, both at home and overseas. It was like a--· shaft of limelight ranging over a vast crowd of men and women of all types, ages, and professions, picking out a face here and there and illuminat- ing, it in the eyes of the whole world.

They Find Themselves How does the British Broad- casting Corporation set out to find these people? More than half of them find themselves. They write in or ring up say- ing they would like to talk or be interviewed, and each case is carefully considered on one thing only-its interests to the listening world."

A peer may be politely turned down, a charwoman, with personali- ty and a good story, warmly welcomed, People of every. type apply, from opera sing- ers to match-sellers, and u glance at the files would re- veal one of the strangest col. lections of occupations imagin- able. You may find, in a typical programme, a woman who minds barrows in Covent Garden, a Spanish dancer, a missionary, n boxer, a mayoress, and a postmistress from the Falkland Islands.

You will also perhaps dis-- cover some professions that may surprise, you; for example a London blacksmith. You may ask what is a blacksmith doing in London? The answer is, he is. farrier to the hun dreds of horses employed by one of the great railway com.. panies.

Did you know that there. was such thing as a profes- slonal safe-breaker? He has had many offers to join other

professional

safe breakers who prefer to remain anony- mous, but this one finds that one can make a good living out of legitimate safe-break- ing. Sometimes a combina- tion gets lost, sometimes it is desirable to have it changed and then the expert has to be called in. Since the war, he has been extra busy, break- ing safes in bombed build- ings, and often with an un- exploded bomb in the neigh- bourhood. Once four of his men were accidentally shut in a safe but they were not worried as they knew that he would get them out in the end, and anyway they were being paid by time and not plecework.

Grass As Food

Sometimes it is not a pro- fession that gives the speaker a special interest, but a hobby or even a peculiar way of life.

The biggest fan-mail comes to a man who has dis- covered that grass sults him very well as a food and who lives principally upon the clippings from golf courses and tennis courts. He was so

• popular that he has appeared several times 'by request' in "In Town To-night."

That same afternoon, a young woman in a country town was lying in bed feeling very sorry for herself. Every- one in the house-had gone out for a picnic, but she had been so badly stung by a wasp that she had decided to stay at home, Idly turning on the wireless, she heard the Inst words of Mr Filbey's talk, and recognised the voice of n 'man whom she had met five years before in China. On an Impulse she rang up the.

Food Position in Malaya Said to Be Satisfactory

In the event of Malaya being directly involved in actual warfare, it would become desirable to begin ra- tioning rice and other foods merely as a precaution to ensure that the heavy stocks already held in reservą will last longer.

This was one of the state-

ments made by the Food Con-

troller, Malaya, Mr Norman R. NOBEL WINNER Jarrett, in an interview with

URGES YOUTHS penalty the "Straits Times" recently prior to his handing over to Mr L. A. Allen on being appointed British Resident, Selangor.

Scouts Go Out

Apart from people who write in and suggest them- selves, two scouts are always busy all over England and hunting up likely prospects. Before the war they used often to take a recording van out into the strects, and hid- ing themselves, watch likely people to come and broadcast impromptu. They would hide and wait for their victims with the patient in- genuity of bird watchers. Had they openly displayed the microphone, they would have attracted a crowd and been moved on by the police.

Since the war it is of course impossible to let people come straight to a microphone in the street. Censorship can- not allow people to say just what comes into their heads in case they unknowingly give away information that might be useful to the enemy. So now the scouts, having made contact with likely people, must arrange for a script to be written and 'vetted' before

South's bidding was of the sort that asks for trouble. His takeout double of one diamond was well advised, particularly, with the opponents on score, but when North could not dig up a bid over such a mild shutout s West's two diamonds, South should have surrendered. Either two spadesj or two hearts might be slaughtered, As a matter of fact, however, the particular. dummy that South picked; up, and the opposing distributions, should have made the risky bid turn| out beautifully.

Mr. Jarrett pointed out that the reserves which could last several months --were considerable and

'Itler's Wrong

You who listen to "In Town To-night" may not always know in what dramatic cir cumstances the broadcast is being made. Often the people you hear have come to the studio during a blitz, braving bombs and shrapnel rather than let down the show.

'.

Not long ago an old lady from the East End who worka in Covent Garden market - came up to do her bit in

"In Town To-night." When the broadcast was over, a bad raid was in progress and Mr Mechan begged her to stay the night in safety on the B.B.C. premises. But the old lady would have none of it, She insisted on having a taxi; the first taxi she'd ever rid- den in, and driving several miles home to the East End in a raging blitz.

Hor. farewell words, as she firmly tied on her best bonnet were "If that itler thinks hes going to stop me from sleeping in my own bed, 'e'a blooming well wrong.”.

to the Red Army and the troops in the field are always reminded to follow the 10 commandments for guerilla warfare established by Lenin. Based on the successful cam- paign against the Germans in the Ukraine back in 1918, they command:

1. In combat, watch for your comrade. He will watch for you.

2. Do not bother about the wounded during action. Watch the enemy.

3. The sooner you des- troy the enemy, the less dan- ger there will be of him des- troying you,

4. If you attack the enemy once and he does not suc- cumb, try again and keep on trying. The enemy is a hu- man being he will eventual- ly give in.
