BRAINS TRUST WANTED.
Sir,-The NBS has shown itself quick to adapt the best elements of BBC entertainment for broadcast in New Zealand, but what about the most popular BBC session of them all? What about a Brains Trust for New Zealand, or do we not trust the brains we have? There are thousands of men and women here, in camp and factory, shop and office and home, who would provide questions, and scores of men and women, prominent in business, scholarship, and the Public Service, who have the talent (and in some cases the genius) to make such a session not only entertaining but intellectually stimulating to the nth degree. The Director of Broadcasting could, I am sure, assemble a first-class" panel in five minutes and it would be difficult to find a better compére than the Director himself.
