Trustification of Brains
R. DONALD McCULLOUGH is now engaged in a series of talks from 2YA-Behind the Brains Trustand last Tuesday’s was devoted to practical suggestions for harnessing brains for various worthy objects such as the raising of money, the purveying of entertainment, the dissemination 6f knowledge, and the promotion of social activity. But quite apart from the dozens of little Brains Banks (Trust seems too ambitious a word for our local combine) which wil ‘spring up overnight, like Mr. O’Brien’s luminous Norfolk Island toadstools, as a direct result of Mr. ‘McCullough’s talk, Mr. McCul- | lough will be entitled to assume some "credit for the many Discussions, Open Forums; Let’s Have It Out and Answer Please sessions which pepper the programmes at the present time. That we have so far been unsuccessful*in evolving anything as comfortably woolly as the BBC Brains Trust is perhaps. the fault of a climate which shows us things in clearer outline and leaves less scope for speculation, and of a soil which breeds chairmen to whom life is real and earnest (though Mr. Wadman is coming along nicely).
