The Ideal Wife
SHOULD a wife be so beautiful that Other Men are attracted to her? Do New Zealanders prefer their wives to | be "heavily upholstered" or of the "lean | and hungry" type? Do small men like big women? These are some of the questions discussed in the latest session of 2ZB’s. Citizens’ Forum, which has been recorded for broadcast at 7.0 p.m, on Sunday, October 9. The subject is called "What is Your Idea of the Ideal Wife?" and the speakers are Anton Vogt, John Morris, and James elahunty, with Pat Macaskill (whose graph appears on page 25), in the chair. All are married men themselves, so they can be expected to speak with authority on this ticklish problem. Theories about the ideal wife vary , considerably of course, and the individuals in this discussion are given plenty of opportunity to air their own particular views. The ability to cook, a certain tolerance and an emotional and mental sympathy with the husband are some of the qualities eventually thrashed out as necessary in this entertaining session.
