He would abolish most of it in the same way as an old graveyard in our crowded. cities is often abolished and converted into a park with flowers and swings, so that life rejoices literally in the place of the dead. But this desire to get the past out of the way is a piece of sentimentalism, as if man was made only for hanging gardens and ~wings, rather than for a fall oft them into the waste spaces. It would be more logical perhaps if our Senator Ryan Duffy (with camera) and Mrs. Duffy photographed histories were written by rogues, so that the rogueries of with a friend at Castleblayney, Monaghan, from which Senator the past should be analysed by an expert rather than by Duffy's ancestors emigrated over a century ago. an honest idealist incapable of understanding the great A very cordial welcome was given Senator Ryan Duffy by rackets on which so much of acquisitive civilisation has been Castleblaney town on his visit towards the end of the summer built. season.

N Ireland, whatever is the reason, we have a habit of taking things for granted. For instance, one I rarely hears any comment on the improvement which has taken place in our Radio programmes during the past two years. Yet, no honest listener will deny that the programmes have improved. For example, the broadcasts to schools have been an unqualified success, and they promise to become one of the most important educational developments within recent years. During this month they will include :-Talks on the Theory of Music and on Nature Study, talks in Gaelic on the implications of the New Constitution, programmes of Traditional Irish Songs, and talks on Gaelic Poetry. The Director of Broad casting, who was largely responsible for the inauguration of these programmes, deserves the gratitude of the nation for his vision and enterprise in adapting a great new cultural medium to the needs of a new generation. Drama. The long evenings are here again, and the armchair by the fire awaits us. It is, therefore, fitting that drama should be well represented in the October pro grammes. The" straight" plays to be produced include two by Lord Dunsany, whose sense of the Lord Edward Fitzgerald, about whom a Play will " mike" is as unerring as his sense of the stage. The be featured from Radio Athlone on 15th. two plays are" Mr. Faithful" and" Bureau de Change," to be given on 4th and 17th respectively.

Among the historical dramas will hear a production of " The Swan Song" by Anton to be broadcast during the month are :-" Sweet Tchekov. Auburn," a play based on Goldsmith's life, by Aodh de Blacam (3rd); "Columbus Lands in America," also from a script by Aodh de Blacam (12th); "The Treaty of Limerick," an Irish dramatisation, by Rev. Domhnall O'Briain (13th); "Lord Edward Fitz gerald," by John Stephenson and Helen Staunton (15th) ; and a play on Luke Wadding by Eily MacAdam (16th). There are also a number of historical dramati sations included in the Schools' Programmes.
Music. The big item for music-lovers will be, of course, the Symphony Concert from the Gaiety Theatre on Sunday, 17th. The Conductor will be Frank Bridge and the Soloists Angus Morrison (Pianoforte) and G. F. Walsh (Bass). The Concert will be int.roduce? by three fiye minute talks on the three days ImmedIately precedmg it. On Thursday, 14th, Dr. Vincent O'Brien will speak on the Programme; on Friday Mr. Arthur D';1ff will talk about the Conductor, and on Saturday MISS Terry O'Connor will talk on the Orchestra. No. I·Army Band will be heard on 10th, and light music is well represented in the programmes. Among the items are :-The Irish Radio Orchestra and Peter Lynch (tenor) on 6th; a programme of Old Favourite Songs with the Orchestra (9th); James O'Brien and Joe Wilson with two guitars (18th); a half-hour of The Stone of the Broken Treaty (see 13th).
