MYSTERY surrounds the history of a wartime book which has been
discovered in the deepest recesses of our editor’s office.
The book, which appears to be the script of a radio broadcast,
was created by “directors of programmes” Rosyln Kaplan and Pearl
Klaff — members of the IVB Broadcasting Corporation.
It seems to be from the end of the Second World War and includes hand-drawn
images and paintings.
The unnamed book also features names of “technical staff” such
as Nancy Johnston, Rosemary Mathew, Celia Landsman and Marguerite
Feinberg.
If you can shed light on the book or any of the names, call newsdesk
