4 — Mrs. Doris Corwith was once asked: "What is your hobby?" She answered: "People, and working with people!" No wonder that she is the supervisor of public affairs programs at the National Broadcasting Company in New York!

"I fit my programs," says Doris, "to the need of the public, and I appreciate well the wide divergence in taste and inclina-tion. I try to include in my pro-grams something of everything, so that everyone may be pleased by this corner or by that... And the scientific, social, and cultural news is interspersed with musical interludes, plays, and comic sur-prises or amusing humor.

"In everything new that I introduce into the programs, my eye remains on the public, for whose sake and for whose benefit and pleasure we work... So I look into the standing problems — economic, social, health, and edu-cational — and from them I draw my material, always seeking 'the

new and the novel.' It has become clear to me that the public inclines toward discussions and the chang-ing of voices. As for expository talks, they are the farthest thing from its inclinations, and small is the group that listens to them."

5 — In Toronto (Canada) Miss Elizabeth Long presents the "Woman's Corner" five days a week the year round... What she attends to most in her programs is the news; then she answers all the questions that reach her from women listeners in every field...

Among the series dear to the public is "Our Grandmothers," a charming series in which women from various countries tell of the tales and affairs of the bygone age; in this corner we have heard the voices of ladies from thirty different countries! And Elizabeth attaches importance to the "Health Corner," in which she reviews health problems on the scientific level, putting the questions to those with spe-cial training.

And in the morning broadcast five minutes are given every day to addressing the housewife about the market and shopping facilities; then a longer period is given, in which are read letters received from the station's corre-spondents, letters that arrive from various countries of the world for acquaintance's sake — from Holland, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, etc...

6 — The women's element holds a strong place at the Dublin (Ireland) radio, for the majority of the responsible posts are in the charge of women.

But the "Woman's Hour" that attends to women's affairs and nothing else has no existence at the Dublin radio — for the programs of the daily "Woman's Hour" stand on a level higher than cooking, beauty, and fashion... For these matters only

a weekly corner is set aside, repeated on Sunday morning.

As for the daily "Woman's Hour," to which everyone listens, it includes debates between a housewife and a woman of a liberal profession on "work after marriage," or the memoirs of a farmer's wife, general reports from Paris or Boston or London, a good short story, the review of a book about woman or from a woman's pen. And through all this runs music or song.

Miss Petronella O'Flanagan, the supervisor of this corner, insists that variety is most necessary, to send these programs forth in an engaging and delight-ful frame...

7 — As for the daily "Woman's Hour" on the BBC, Janet Quigley supervises it and prepares its programs; it is broadcast to the ladies of the house between two and three in the afternoon. Its chief programs turn on the affairs of the home, shopping, prices, and health and educational advice — and it makes room as well for the telling of news

and anecdotes, the reviewing of good books, criticism of the radio plays, etc...

And there is another women's corner for Sunday, distinguished
