’ Sir--"Parihauhau’s" timely. criticism of morning serials ,has my full support. It would be interesting to know just how many women actually do listen to them. In my own circle of average mafried women I can find no one who takes an interest in, or follows these programmes. One friend admitted that she listened sometimes "for a laugh." I would suggest to "Parihauhau" that, after listening to that cheerful and inspiring woman, Daisy Basham, she switch off her radio until between 10.45 and 11.30 a.m., when the 2YA Women’s Session. with Clare Mazengarb should keep her going until it is time to prepare lunch. It is time the Broadcasting Service took a serious look at the rubbish which is played during the morning. I believe that the average housewife is not the bird-brain that the powers that be seem
to imagine.
