Holiday Session
OMMENDABLY realising that the suspension of the normal Schools Broadcasts during holiday periods leaves a gap in the day for many children, the National Stations have been running a morning half-hour holiday session on weekdays. Station 1YA has held its end up well by maintaining the lighter atmosphere appropriate to times when schools
doors are closed, and, although there are grains of instruction. under the sugarcoating, John Gordon does not allow this to become obvious. Jamaican folktales, Fun with Music, quizzes and an astonishingly concentrated King Solomon’s Mines have kept the first week bright and entertaining. It is to. be hoped that this session will continue as a regular holiday feature, if only because it helps reduce the number of hours during which harassed mothers must find things for their children not
to do.
