"QUIZ" FOR CHILDREN
NEW children’s programme now playing from the ZB stations provides young people with a stern test of their general knowledge. It is called Name Three for Wise Owl, Wise Owl being a well informed gentleman who proposes such problems as "Name three fish beginning with C"? to which the answer would be, of course, "Cod, carp, and. cuttlefish." It isn’t as hard as it sounds. The age limit for competitors is seven to fourteen years, questions are chosen to suit the age of the competitor, and there is a time limit of 20 seconds for each question. Twelve children take part in a session, and they are asked two questions each. There are small prizes, sound effects add novelty to the programme and it is hoped to invite teams from different schools to compete against each other. Name Three for Wise Owl is heard from Stations 1ZB, 2ZB and 3ZB at 5.30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 4ZB on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 5.15 p.m.
