INGA NORBERG : ' For a Pleasure
Cruise'
TODAY'S reason for going abroad is a popular and a delightful one : sea air, change of surroundings, gaiety, new faces, foreign places. Mrs. Norberg is a Swedish lady, who, listeners may remember, gave a talk in the series ' The State of Europe ' the year before last ; one on 'The Housewife in Sweden ' in 1931 ; and two broadcasts in the Great Occasions in Foreign Lands ' series (' Sweden ' and ' Laptand ') in the same year.
- Broadcasting introduced -her to cruising in a strange way. An official of a Swedish shipping line was interested to hear that a Swedish woman was broadcasting in England, and wanted to meet her. As a result, she now combines the pleasure of holidays with the interesting and unusual duties of acting as British hostess to the Swedish passengers on board a luxury liner. She devotes the rest of the year to propaganda work for England and Sweden. She has written a Guide Book of London and the British Isles in Swedish, and is now compiling a Swedish cookery book in English. Mrs. Norberg thinks that there is nothing like the swimming pool of a cruising liner for broadening minds and promoting friendly relations between the peoples of the world.
