Tough Questions for Housewives
‘THE. HOUSEWIVES’ QUIZ at 2ZB is good listening. A general quiz is usually a lively, hit-or-miss affair; this is,
more in the nature of a brains trustspecialised questions answered with professional skill. It is always exhilarating to hear people discussing the details of their occupations with sureness and enjoyment as most of these com-
petitors do. Saturday morning is no longer the worst possible moment for these conferences, no longer a morning of confused cooking and shopping with no time and thought for the radio. Friday is now the dread day when the practice of the profession of housekeeping reaches its. hectic climax; and whatever may be said against the present awful state of Fridays, there is no doubt that Saturday has changed for the better, and gives some space for enjoyment of the theoretical side of things. If there can be an increase of this kind of session | during the week-end, it will be a pleasant sign (and one of the first) that the 40-hour week is meant to be observed by all members of the family.
