THE TRUTH ABOUT JANUS

Sin,—Why, what a sullen fellow is this "Janus" before eleven in the morning! First he stops the announcer saying "Good morning to those of you who have not tuned in before," or words to that effect, now he turns his sulks on to the " Uplift " five minutes of the B.B.C. Let him, like us (and I am an elderly grandmother), do both sets of physicaL exercises, get his own breakfast, listen to the composer of the week, and he will find quite a lot of " uplift " in what he calls "deplorable." Or would he? No, on the whole, I fear not. We know the sort.—Yours truly, HELEN MARTIN. Yannon, Teignmouth.
