SPECIAL RECORDING FOR POPE PIUS XII
CBS Presentation Follows Encharistic Congress
ce HIS is a tangible expression of our goodwill." With these words the Controller of Commercial Broadcasting, C. G. Scrimgeour, handed to the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Panico, a documentary recording prepared by the CBS of the highlights of the recent Eucharistic Congress at Wellington. Archbishop Panico has now returned to Australia, and the recording will be sent on to His Holiness Pope Pius XII. It is anticipated that it will be broadcast from the Vatican City Radio. His Grace expressed his pleasure at this thoughtful gesture. "I can assure you, Mr. Scrimgeour," he said, "that a very real interest has been taken in the Eucharistic Congress held in your New Zealand Centennial year, and _ this unique recording will be greatly appreciated." Archbishop Panico also thanked Mr. Scrimgeour for the assistance given and the courtesies extended to him during his visit to New Zealand by the Commercial Service. The recording made of the Pope’s special broadcast to New Zealand was invaluable, particularly as conditions had somewhat affected the re-broadcast by Dominion stations. The leaders of the Church had been able to hear the words of the Holy Father, and this was deeply appreciated. The Congress recording itself was broadcast from 2ZB on Thursday night, February 29, on the eve of Archbishop Panico’s departure, and has since been heard from the other ZB stations. It contains brief extracts from the speeches made during the Eucharistic Congress, together with excerpts from the Pope’s message and the opening and closing
addresses of the Papal Legate. Portions of Cardinal Hinsley’s broadcast from Britain are also included. The various choirs are heard, and the whole is bound together by a commentary giving an accurate impression
of the events and scenes of the Congress. Bryan O’Brien, of 2ZB, handled the production of the recording. A splendid tribute was paid to the CBS by Monsigneur King, who acted as aide to Archbishop Panico during his stay in New Zealand, when he arrived back in Australia last week, "The way in which we were received in New Zealand, and the courtesies which were extended, will remain always as a happy memory," he added,
