Culture for Kiddies
SINCE "Gay" has been in charge of the 1YA Children’s Session, it has gradually but markedly moved away from the older pattern of stories, titbits and children’s letters towards one no less interesting to children, but of a considerably higher standard. All the changes, including less attention to the "tiny tots,’ seem to me to be for the better-and those of my brood still young enough to listen, agree. R. W. Roach’s talks on the Zoo, Douglas on Poetry, "This is Our Town," and other sound features are laced together by the alert, never-condescending personality of "Gay," whom adults know well in other radio capacities, And sometimes there is a bonus session which has as much appeal to adults as to children. Last week, for instance, "Gay" interviewed at length Pepita Sarazena and Pedro Giminez, of a Spanish dancing group at present touring the country. Assisted by Pedro’s guitar, the articulate Senora Sarazena, in flawless English, painted vivid pictures of Spanish football, bull-fighting, festivals and dancing.
