WHAT WOMEN WANT ON THE AIR
Sir,-Could I put in a plea for housewives’ lunch hours? If the family _ is away for lunch, and the baby is’ asleep, surely this is the time for a little mental stimulation for mother? A 15-minute talk twice a week would help, a scene from a play, a decent serial, or, when it comes to music, something a little. gayer, a little more definite than this unspeakably | featureless _ feature known as the Luncheon Music _programme. I have long since given up ZB listening because I know every
advertising cliché off by heart, and the standard of the programmes from al! the National stations between 12.0 and 1.30 p.m. seems, with the exception of two weekly farm talks, to be invariably tame. By all means let us have the old favourites in a programme of their own for those who care to listen, but be ruthless with the rest of the depressing trash in the perpetual lunch-time hotchpotch. To attempt to offend no one is very likely to please no one, so, if it must be music, what about some Bachor jive, if you like-but something good
ALL ALONE
