Travel Talk
The Swing of the Seasons Madagascar, Home of the Lemur
A. M. CHIRGWIN
' Madagascar is a land of contrasts. Within an hour's motor-ride of the capital with its well-lit shops, its large churches, and its French officials, you can be amongst primitive forest tribes living in tiny huts made, of woven bamboo and thatched with banana leaves. '
The above is an extract from a talk to be given by a man who has travelled through Madagascar on foot, by car, by canoe, and in a filanjana, or carrying chair. You will hear among other things how children, wading through the shallow rivers on their way to rice-fields or to school, scare the crocodiles away.

The scene of The Bartered Bride is laid in a Bohemian village on the afternoon and evening of the Patron Saint's Day. The action takes place during the first half of the nineteenth century. The outline of the story is as follows: Marenka, the pretty daughter of a peasant couple, is promised in marriage to Vashek (son of Micha, a wealthy farmer) whom she has never seen. She objects to the suit because she is already in love with Jenik, whose doubtful parentage and position make him a less desirable match.
The marriage-broker Ketsal intrigues on her parents' behalf to bring off the union between Marenka and the rich but stupid Vashek. As these two have never met, Marenka easily contrives to conceal her identity and put Vashek off the track.
But meanwhile the marriage-broker persuades Jenik to relinquish his chance of obtaining Marenka by accepting a bribe to give her up-on condition that her bridegroom shall be Micha's son. The usual complications follow, but in the last act Micha recognises in Jenik his long-lost elder son, and as the marriage-contract only calls for Marenka to marry ' the son of Micha ', she is now free to choose between Jenik and Vashek, which she does to everybody's satisfaction.
The Bartered Bride will be broadcast again next week on Tuesday evening, February 22, in the Regional programme.
