From page 63 of ' When Two or Three '
Daisy Pain
The bete noir of the busy housewife is undoubtedly 'washing day'. It is safe to assert that not one woman in a hundred looks forward to this day with anything but apprehension. But, like most other objectionable things in this world, it can be made far from unpleasant if tackled in the right spirit. In this morning's talk, Mrs. Daisy Pain will tell you how many of the troubles of Monday morning (it is usually Monday morning) may be overcome, and no housewife who trembles at the thought of steam and soap-suds should fail to listen to what she has to say.

A Programme to Celebrate the Fourth
Centenary of the Birth of Canada
Consisting of Episodes from Canadian
History, from 1534-1934
Compiled by ROGER POCOCK and JACK INGLIS
This programme celebrates the four-hundredth birthday of Canada, and shows by means of narrative and dialogue and sound effects her vigorous history from the days of her birth.
We see Jacques Cartier of Brittany, who discovered the St. Lawrence, raising the Cross at Gaspe ; the heroic French explorers, the Couriers des Bois, pushing their way along unknown rivers in frail canoes ; the discovery of the Mississippi and the Niagara Falls ; the Incorporation of the Hudson Bay Company ; running fights with Red Indians; Montcalm defending Quebec against Wolfe, and both dying, and the Anglo-French alliance coming into being thereby, which has but one name -Canada.
A stirring story.
Alexander Mackenzie seeking the Pacific and finding the Arctic by accident; the Empire loyalists ; the formation of a Dominion government. We are shown the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and a Scotsman driving the engine of the first train-Donald Smith, who later became Lord Strathcona.
Then Klondike, the Great War, and on to the present day..... In a mere four hundred years a waste was changed into great cities, flourishing Iseaports, and fertile wheat fields by men who set endeavour above personal safety and weren't afraid to die.
