Tour de Force?
BROADCASTING one’s reminiscences of a country lecture tour must réquire even more tact than undertaking one, at least this is the impression 1 gained from listening to the first of Judith Terry’s talks from 2YA. So far, in dealing mainly with the actual journey to the scene of her activities, Miss Terry should be on fairly safe ground, but already she has a metaphorical finger to her lips and an air of "I would an I could," and this impression is heightened by her somewhat arch man-_ ner. But why in what should be a chatty, personal, typically Saturday morning talk, does Miss Terry use the third person, thus seeming to dissociate herself from her experiences instead of presenting them to the listener for what they are worth? Though the third person is all very well for describing Nature in her more impersonal aspects, a third person presentation of How the Country Lecturer Bathed during the Drought is apt to give a wrong impression.
