FEATS OF ENDURANCE
New BBC Session
THE amazing feats of endurance which have been carried through by members of the British forces in the course of this war, have been seized upon by’ the BBC as the raw material for a series of dramatic stories, and a weekly feature entitled "Feats of Endurance" is to be broadcast from the 7 NBS stations every Friday at 6.45 p.m., beginning on Friday, May 16. The stations concerned are 1YA, 2YA, 3YA, 4YA and 2YH Napier, 3ZR Greymouth and 4YZ Invercargill, and this 10-minute talk will follow the second of the two BBC recorded talks at that time. The heroic story of Corporal Moore from Taihape who set out to walk nearly 300 miles across the desert was one of the first of this series to be presented by the BBC, although it was told to N.Z. listeners in the NBS Newsreel at 9 p.m, This proved so popular, and subsequent stories have proved to be so enthralling, that the NBS has decided to include this item in their weekly programme and broadcast direct from the BBC each Friday.
