A MESSAGE FROM RADIOLAND

Dear Radio Children,- ; 7 What a wonderful Christinas we all had, didy’t we? And what a perfectly glorious time our Uncles and Aunts gave us! I just loved the trip in the air taxi to next-door-to-the-moon, with all our good old friends to see Father Christmas in his very own home; but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for poor old Humpty-Dumpty-he fell overbeard:-so early in the proceedings and missed everything. Tt was such bad luck! And weren't all the toys in the workshop lovely? I wanted to take home quite a lot of then. " I am sure we will remember this and many other happy hours "on the air" for @ long, long tune, for this-was our first Real Radio Christmas. Of course we will have many, many more, and some day children will be saying:"How dull Christinas must have been without radio !’? We really are very lucky to live in this wonderful world just now! Did you all have a scrumptious Christmas dinner, with lots of good things that were not good for you at all? I saw such a lovely party in full swing in a shop window. The Jungle Boys were having such a feast-the table was laden with all kinds.of nice things to eat; and there were crackers, too, but I didn’t notice anyone pulling them. Ars. Jumbo’s head was wagging well, and she looked as though she had eaten more than enough, but poor little Jacko seemed to be having a very thin tine. He had slipped down in his chair, and his head was disappearing below the table, yet nobody seemed to have tite to give hint .a hoist! ‘. . I believe our friend Spot enjoyed himself, too. There is a rumour that ke had so many sent him for his Christmas stocking that he won't be able to sit up and beg for weeks, and as for his bark-zwell, he had so many lumps of sugar that his throat has become husky with swallowing, aid his voice has died away to a whisper. But I wouldu’t listen to too many tales, if I were you! New Year is such a lovely time, I always think. Another twelve whole months ahead of us in which to grow bigger and better, and learn more, and make new discoveries ; with all the silly mistakes we have made left well behind, to be quite, quite forgotten. . 99 Greetings to all children of Radioland-many, many happy hours, and long, radiant days in From "ARIEL."
