RADIO MAGAZINE
Dear Sir,-I think the Radio Magazine from the Middle East could be improved. It does not cover every aspect of a soldier’s life-his friendships with his comrades-in-arms, Sou Africans, Poles, Free French, British and Greek. Also as there are thirty to forty thousand men over there to be thought of, why not have them file past the microphone, as opportunity offers, and give a call home instead of making a lottery out of it? I think many more boys would have a chance of calling their relatives if this were done. Their names could be kept in a book, so that the same ones would not call twice, and this book when full could be sent home and sold for patriotic purposes. One other suggestion. It would be appreciated by many in both islands if instead of having the Radio Magazine from 9 to 10 on Sunday mornings we could have it from 2-4 on Sunday afternoons. Nine a.m. is a very bad time for farmers, as the work has to be attended to first and then church follows at 11, so that thare is no chance of listening between nine
and ten.
