POPULAR feature from the ZB stations is The Van Teeters, described as humorous satire. It is heard on Fridays at 7.15 p.m., and on Saturdays at 8.20 p.m. Willoughby Shelley Van ‘Teeter is a manufacturer of corsets, while Freddy Fitzhubert, of the house of Fitzhubert, manufactures hair-pins-a thriving business since 1792. Unfortunately, the demand for corsets and hair-pins decreases so much that the fortunes of the two houses evaporate completely, and the representatives of the families are forced to live on credit. Their credit systems involve the world, and ultimately, the only way to bring about stabilisation is to revive bustles and long hair. The humour of The Van Teeters has a flavour of Wodehouse about it, particularly noticeable in the lugubrious but resourceful family retainer "Caper." ORD has come from America that the popular Lone Ranger programme, heard from the ZB stations, topped all children’s programmes in the seventh annual radio poll conducted by the Radio Daily, New York.
