St. George’s Morning
| AM a confirmed listener to 2ZB in the early morning, since it is only from a commercial station that one gets at an unseasonable hour the assurance that there is someone who cares-even if he does spend half his time chivying you into a home-perm or a bargain-price gent’s natty suiting. And I am prepared to pay for this personal interest ("Aren’t you out of bed yet, you eight o’clockers?") by tolerating such wellthumbed platters as "Silver Dollar" and "Mocking Bird Hill." Imagine my gratification the other morning, therefore, when I was roused by "Rufty-Tufty," drank my tea to "Sussex by the Sea," . and finally broke cover accompanied by Nymsanshepherds, who had also chosen this moment to come away. No, not a new deal, I learnt later, but a special programme for St. George’s Day, which comes but once a year. It’s a pity most other mornings are unblessed with saints s0apt for heartening radio commemoration, but it’s good to know that the Service is on the ball in taking advantage of the ones there are.
