SPEAKING AND LISTENING.
Sir-In your current issue your correspondent Nelle M. Scanlan states that she said in her broadcast: "Unlike New Zealand, electricity is not in general use in the country." If she has quoted herself correctly the statement she made was that in the land of which she was speaking (Ireland), though New Zealand was in general use in the country districts, electricity was not. She says-"Careless listening can be a serious matter in times like these." I would remind her that careless speaking is a matter that can be immeasurably more. serious.
