Boys and Girls...

This corner, all you young folks, is for you and your interests. This is where we tell you, week by week, about what is being put over the air for you, just as the grown-ups have their own pages with their own programmes. So make sure that you, too, " Look Before You Listen."

HE picture above is of the new Control Room at 2YA. This is a very important place, as you may guess from the name. If you want to know all about the workings of a broadcasting station listen in to 2YA in the Children’s Hour next Saturday and you will hear the Chief Operator taking Jumbo round the Control Room and explaining all its instruments. The Chief Operator is the man you can see nearest the camera in this picture, so keep this page open during the broadcast and it will help you to understand what Jumbo and: the Operator are talking about. On the Seven Seas There were a lot of exciting happenings in the days of good Queen BessDrake sailed round the world, the great Spanish Armada came sailing up the English Channel, Englishmen explored the unknown South American jungle. Now Amyas Leigh was a Devon man who was mixed up in all these adventures, and you may hear all about him by listening in to 3ZR on Tuesdays at 5.45 p.m. to the serial " Westward Ho!" which starts this week. When You Grow Up Have you decided yet what you want to be when you leave school? School days are so interesting that it is rather hard to imagine what it will be like to be grown-up and earning your own living. All the same, there are a lot of jobs waiting for you to do some day, so those of you boys who want to be

builders listen to 3YA at 5.45 p.m. on Wednesday, when Mr. E. J. C. WDaiziell will talk to you about building as a career for boys. And for the girls who want to be dressmakers there is a talk from the same station at 5.45 p.m. on Friday by Miss D. Walsh.
