CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMES
Sir-I was petforming this moftning © with my two-year-old daughter, participating joyfully in Kindergarten of the Ait, as I had done with my older childfen whet the session first began years ago. I wondered, if it isn’t too late, if I could voice for thousands of mothefs, teachers and children, our watm appreciation, and thanks to Miss Jean Combs (Mrs. Desmond Buckley), who has lately tetired from the position of Supervisor of Broadcasts to Schools and Children’s Programmes. Her excellent choice of teachers (I’m sute Ernest Jenner’s sessions are listened to by as many adults as children), and the high quality of the educational progfammes using the medium of dramatisation, were shown cleafly, for example, in School Broadcasts and the Children’s Holiday Programmes. Also, few people would have failed to notice the marked general improvement in Children’s Sessions since Miss Combs was appointed Supervisor of Children’s Programmes in 1953, or that at the game time each station still reflected and retained its own local colour. Miss Combs undoubtedly has been a fine administrator, a necessary qualification in her job, but I think that her real strength and success lay in her sensitive, understanding of children. She has modestly pioneered and created much of the work that we know, enjoy and take for granted--and we are grateful to her. ‘oes
