EARLY TO BED

Sir,-It is with considerable surprise that I realise from some of the letters I have read in your columns how many people apparently suppose that if one lives in the country, one automatically goes to bed early. Several people have written from time to time to protest against radio plays being put on the air late in the evening. My own experience as a farmer’s wife is that I am never able to sit down and listen to a radio programme before 9.0 p.m, Therefore I hear the news to start with and am always delighted when I find plays which start at 9.30 or later. Many

aw country men don’t finish work until nearly 7.0 p.m. Then there is bathing, dining, and the washing up to be done. We never hear-any of the plays on the air at 7.30, and this also applies to the winter, even if the men are in a little earlier. They are incredibly clever at working in the dark. Doubtless there ate some early country people or those letters wouldn’t be written, but they are catered for by the 7.30 plays. The 9.30 or later ones also suit many late country people. I think the programmes are well planned in that way. I would be dreadfully sorry if I could never hear any plays; it would be a serious deprivation.
