Mrs. Lowe's Mistake
HERE’S nothing like old-fashioned housework and the care of a family for keeping women occupied. The Americans, who have made housewifery simple, soon found that their women folk were making use of their surplus energy in all sorts of ways. A fairly common outlet for a wife’s enthusiasms is her husband’s career; the little helpmeet likes to put her shoulder under the seat of his pants and shove him up the ladder of material success. Mrs. Lowe, wife of Dr. Paul Lowe, made a mistake when she talked her father into financing a hospital for the man she was then about to marry. This tied them both to the small Middle Western town of Stanton, whose people Dr. Lowe wanted to serve, but she was ambitious to move to one of the big cities. So the hospital became the symbol of her frustration. This new serial, Dr. Paul, in which John Saul takes the’ name part, begins from 1ZB at 10.45 a.m. on August 28, and plays on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 2ZB starts it on September 4, 3ZB on September 11, and 4ZB on September 18, all at the same time and on the same days.
