CORNWALL
Sir-I write to express appreciation of Kenneth Schollar’s broadcast "The Delectable Duchy," from 3YA on the evening of December 29. One hears of Scotland, and of Yorkshire, Lancashire and other counties, with their "typical" characters; but little is heard of Cornwall, with its far more distinctive people and their un-Teutonic racial characteristics, and of the wild, sweet music of its place-names -* Lostwithiel, Lamorna, Kynance Cove, Tol-Pedn-Penwith, etc.or of Devonshire, Dorset or Somerset. Mr. Schollar’s broadcast must have given pleasure to many a Cornish heart, for in the heart of every Celt lives that sense of origins as old as time, yet time-less-ageless. My own parents came from the Land’s End district, and to hear it gave me keenest pleasure.
