New Regime
PPARENTLY Life Goes On a little earlier from 2YA than from 2ZB, for whereas Aunt Daisy and Elsie Lloyd were prepared on Easter Monday to allow the housewife to forget she was one, Miriam Pritchett was firmly on home science duty at 11.0 a.m., thus giving me my first opportunity of hearing the new Women’s Session. Monday is Domestic Day; there was a fashion talk, then "Focus on Furniture" by J. E. P. Murphy (Lecturer in Design at the Otago Home Science: School), atid another Home Science talk on ‘Mushrooms. The new method of presentation. with its single compere, makes for greater compactness and more interest in the session. This was particularly noticeable in the Fashion Talk, which, presented merely as a talk, would have been dull, but. which blossomed. out beneath Miss Pritchett’s skilful interviewing technique. The furniture talk, like the modern product its speaker advocated, was smooth, sound and functional. The mushroom talk was memorable to a mushroom-eater because it revealed that the mushroom, though 90% water, is a good source of Vitamin B and rich in iron and other minerals, thus providing addicts with a good as well as a real reason for eating the things. At the end of the half-hour I felt distinctly that listening maketh a full woman. ?
