One Crowded Hour
FEEL overwhelmed by the number of good things crammed into the ZB’s Woman’s Hour (2.30 to 3.30, Monday to Friday), One could become a well-informed hnd competent woman merely by taking a few weeks’ course
of this recommended mental health and beauty treatment. Diversity in uniformity would seem to be the keynote, since there is something different for every day of the week and the weekly programme is in general outline repeated, As one who has sampled, if not listened through, every programme for a week I may say that seldom have I known an hour to last so long, or to such good effect. Take last Wednesday, for example. We had News from Women Overseas, a short story (Ever Yours), Questions and Answers, assorted musical recordings, commercials, and a discussion "Should Wives Have Salaries?" Last Friday, I ‘think it was, we had a talk on badminton and another on lichen dyeing of yarn, with Care of the Greasy Skin, Notable Quotables, and selected recordings fore and aft. The Can-Any-Good Thing Come Out of-Nazareth school may hint that this one crowded hour is at the expense of the rest of the programme day, that the cake as a whole is no plummier. © But it’s lovely for the little Jack Horners to know just where to go for the plums.
