THE WOMAN'S ANGLE
FIND panel discussions in the Women’s Sessions much livelier than those I hear in the evening. Of course, the women’s panel has all the advantages. To begin with, we have a team of specialists talking to an audience of specialists, and this gives rise to the most delightful of discussions-shop. Then there’s the Dorothy Dix angle, since the talk usually stems from a problem sent in by a worried listener; and the panel, if not quite in the same box as the writer, usually have friends that have been, The discussion, in fact, never has to\ resort to the academic. A typically good session was the recent treatment by the Auckland panel of two questions, one concerning teen-agers and drink, the other concerning the effect of divorce on children, I noticed that it was the man in the team who spoke from general premises, and the women from actual or near-at-hand experience. And what a difference one notices, morning or evening, towards the member of the minority sex! In the evening courtliness creeps in, but I’m pleased to be able to report that the morning’s Mr. Sdmerville is treated like one of the girls.
