Why do all given dates which fall on Friday always fall on a Wednesday four years later?
Within any 4 year period, there is always a leap year. That causes a day to be skipped. So after 4 years, a date will be on a day 5 days after the one it was on 4 years before that. Wednesday is 5 days after Friday, so if a date is on a Friday, 4 years later it will be on a Wednesday.

Why do calendar dates which fall on Sunday fall on Friday 4 years later Wednesday 8 years later and Monday 12 years later?
It is the way calendars work. Friday is 5 days after Sunday, but there will be at least one leap year in that period, which means one day will be skipped, so it only takes 4 years to reach Friday. That same pattern continues, in that although Wednesday is 5 days later, it will come round in 4 years due to a leap year. Yet again, Monday is 5 years after Wednesday, but the leap year will make it only take 4 years to come round. There are many patterns like that in calendar dates.
Why did April 18 fall on Sunday twice between 1934 and 1945 when it didn't fall on Wednesday between these two years?
The Wednesday was skipped over due to the leap year in 1940. It was on a Tuesday in 1939. As 1940 was a leap year, it skipped over the Wednesday, and it was on a Thursday. It was not until 1945 that Wednesday came round again. Between 1934 and 1945 is an 11 year gap. That length of time without a date occurring on the same day is very common. A date happens on the same day again every 5, 6 or 11 years. It depends on how the leap years fall in the period.
