Dating from St. Dunstan’s time, when communal tankards were used, these huge two-quart mugs were marked off into eight sections by eight knobs or “pegs”. Each member of the party was required to drink exactly to his over, he must go on to the next peg, and so on. From this custom is derived the saying “one over the eight”. .And to-day, some drinks, especially brandy and soda, are still called “pegs.” mm A WAITEMATA QUALITY PRODUCT D.B. HOSPITALITY

But this is the point—do you browbeat your family into listening to the programmes you like? The fair way would be to instal at least one extra radio. Then if some of your family want to listen to Spike Jones when you prefer Beethoven (or Big Sister) there will be no need for a family upheaval. Your radio is a friend which serves you often and serves you well, but it can only serve you one station at a time. ■ ttfie pe&te ~ • EXTRA RADIO II**: - $ HEAR THE NEW SETS AT ALL RADIO DEALERS NOW Issued by the New Zealand Radio Manufacturers' Federation RF.6.24
