WITH THE BOYS OVERSEAS
Sir,-A word of appreciation for the Sunday morning feature "With the Boys Overseas." I am sure this item is eagerly awaited by all listeners, but could not the sports talk be abbreviated? Last Sunday morning I listened to a monologue about football competitions. that occupied nearly 15 minutes of this otherwise splendid programme. Details of the personnel of football committees and teams and descriptions of matches between the "A’s" and "B’s" can surely have only a limited appeal. Apparently, there is only a certain time available for the whole broadcast, and yet each Sunday, listeners are regaled with accounts of sporting items that take a large portion of this time. My point is that the time so used could be instead devoted to additional messages from the boys themselves, or by interesting talks such as the ones recently given by the soldiers who had seen service in Greece. With the close of the Cretan campaign, there will no doubt be those who are willing to relate their experiences, and surely that is more to the point than vivid descriptions of sporting
events.-
