MUSIC FOR MILKERS
»ir,- Music while you Work" has: been accepted as a valuable aid to manual work. From the earliest times men and women have sung or chanted at work, and now the radio provides the same rhythmic aid. In this country thousands of dairy farmers and their wives are up and about half an hour at least before sunrise doing a monotonous manual job, milking the cows. Frost or rain, flood or dusty drought, the herd must be milked. Many sheds are fitted with radio, man and beast enjoy it when available — and that’s just the catch. Station 1YZ Rotorua has an excellent coverage, as is shown by their request session, and is the centre of a large dairying district, As such it is ideal for cheering along the morning chores if bright, cheerful music such as one gets in the daily "Music
while you Work" session could be provided from say half an hour before sunrise. And by the way, as request sessions are always so crowded, why not have from 5.0 a.m. to 8.0 a.m. one or. two mornings a week a request session for country folk? What a pleasure get-ting-up would be with a cheery tune and a cheery fire!
