"[T’s an ill wind that blows nobody good," I thought, as, confined to the house for a day, I settled back to listen to 3YA’s Mainly for Women. The chief item of interest in this particular session was a discussion between Professor McCaskill and Mrs. Cridge on improvements which could be introduced in the country’s consolidated schools, This discussion, compered by Arnold Wall, was worthy of fuller treatment. It brought to at least one listener knowledge of a hitherto neglected aspect of our national life. I did not know what a "consolidated" school was, that teachers also drove the school bus, or that intellectually handicapped children in the country do not have the same facilities as town children. The afternoon session brought me the life history of a Parka; Grace Adams’s whimsical story of the adventures of a species of hood and cape subjected to the contempt of a deer stalker, and the even more destructive restorative measures of a certain young man whose own tent, treated with the same oils, nearly went up in spontaneous combustion. ,
