Summary

Rhodesian Spotlight Commentary - Every type of gadget and appliance to make living easier was on view at Rhodesia’s first Ideal Homes Exhibition held recently in Salisbury. The exhibition was officially opened by the Southern Rhodesian Minister of Justice, Mr A. R. W. Stumbles. The exhibition was popular as a shop window for what’s new, Mr Stumbles himself trying out several of the exhibits, some with more success than others. He soon found that the cure for frustrations is a nice cup of tea. All housewives know that, and they never stop learning.
