The Moon Went Down
Sir,-Thanks to 1ZB for a lasting chuckle provided by the "Radar Experiment" on April 1. A most amusing idea; whose was it? Strangely enough when we heard over the air the previous day about the proposed experiment being held at six next morning-as "sponsor difficulties" made it impossible at 7.0 a.m./-there was the very faintest ringing of a bell, so faint I heeded it not. "After all,’ I thought, "radar-I mean, that’s of world-wide interest. Just a coincidence." I was up bright and early along, I'll guarantee, with thousands of others, and was greatly intrigued by the "noises." The sound of a laugh coming through after the "diatonic screen" (was it?) had been applied, slightly discomfited me, but only slightly, and it was only the necessity of having my husband’s breakfast ready by 6.0 a.m. that stopped me rushing for a blanket. I1 chuckle with unkind glee every time I think of the feelings of those who were caught with their rear ends only protruding from blankets. Thanks, indeed, 1ZB.
