Keeping on the Rails
"|JAVE New Zealand Women Made the Best Use of the Vote?" was, I thought, a very good topic for one of 2YA’s Question Mark discussions and quite undeserving of one neo-feminist’s plea that it should be de-sexed to "We New Zealanders." It is. perhaps unfortunate that discussion ganels can never be truly representative-all three members of the panel (two women and one man) were extremely well-qualified. and there was no one like the little woman who votes as her husband tells her, mention of whom by the male member of the panel was greeted with jeers of disbelief by the two females. However. I enjoyed hearing a discussion with jeets in it, and I did admire the way Mr. R Hardie Boys sugared his shrewdness with chivalry. But although this was not a topic on which a verifiable conclusior. could be reached I confess there are times in all these discussions when one wishes Euclid ran them. Mrs. Beatrice Beeby, however, was an acceptable substitute showing admirable firmness in lifting the discussion back. on to. the rails and IT epprecieted the restraint of ~he
her "How very interesting" as she hit back yet another reminder of irrele-
vance.
