"The Birdman"

Another "Uncle" at 3YA THE children were asked to name him. He had stepped into the breach during the absence of "Storyman," on leave, «nd he had fold pretty tales about birds. All the children listening-in to 3YA were greatly interested and when Aunt Pat asked them to send in a name for the new uncle there was & ready response. They had mw «difficulty in deciding that it was "Mr. Annonncer™" who had been speaking, but their suggestions as to an appropriate soubriguet varied .considerably. ° . Of the many names sent in, "The Birdman" was considered to pe the best. So in future, when Mr. Alec O'Donoghue, announcer at 38YA, takes part in the Children’s Session he wil] be known as "The Birdman," a very appropriate title, for he has made 2 lifelong hobby of nature study in which birds play such an important part.
