POINTS FROM LETTERS
EL JARDINERO (Seacliff) says that the Broadcasting Service, "after paying tributes to the U.S.A., France, Norway and Poland" should do something for ‘our ally the U.S.S.R." M. E. PEELE (Waihou), J. G. Haddow (Auckland), and two or three correspondents offer further comment on Mrs, Davidson’s letter complaining of inaccurate English on the air. Most quote Fowler against Mrs. Davidson, but J. G. Haddow discusses the difficulty presented by compound plurals, while M. E. Peele adds some extracts from William Barkley, M.A., and ends with this quotation from Carlyle: "No mortal but is narrow enough to delight in educating others into counterparts of himself." ERNEST FAIRBURN (Whangarei) claims, on the authority of L’Etude, that the largest organ in the world is in Convention Hall, Atlantic City, and that it has seven manuals, 933 stops, and 32,913. pipes.
