Swiss Dishes
N Berne, offices open at 7.30 in the morning in summer, and at. 8 o'clock in winter, and shut for two hours at lunchtime all the year round. "For in Switzerland, we have the midday dinner," Renee Colombi told The Listener the other day. Mrs. Colombi, wife of Hans Colombi, conductor of the 3YA Orchestra. is Geneva-born, and went to school in the French part of Switzer-
land, in a little village called Preles. When she went to secondary school in Berne (where there was then no French school) she had to learn to speak German. Later, in Berne, where she was for five years secretary to the general manager of
the Swiss Post, Telegraph and Telephone Service, she met her husband, then deputy-director of the Broadcasting Orchestra. She was a member at the time of a choir that used to broadcast lieder and operettas once a fortnight from Berne. A few weeks ago Mrs. Colombi, in 3YA’s Mainly for Women, described her homeland. On Tuesday, July 24, at 2.5 p.m., in the same session, she will tell listeners how to make three famous Swiss dishes in Eure Eat Continental Style.
