INTERRUPTED CHURCH SERVICES
Sir.-I . wonder how many other listeners tuned in to the church service broadcast from 2YA on the evening of Sunday, February 28, experienced the same intense annoyance as I felt at the abrupt manner in which the service was "switched off" before the close of the service? The first verse of that grand old hymn "Eternal Father Strong To Save" was barely finished, and in my own
case my thoughts (and prayers), were all for our brave lads of the two naval services, and, of course, the many boys also being taken to the various theatres of war; and the interruption was most untimely, I think the majority of people would find that fine hymn as inspiring as the programme which followed. After all, we can have Andersen Tyrer all the week and enjoy his music then. Besides, the other YA stations commence their evening programme 10 minutes later. Country districts in many instances are-owing to shortage of manpower due to the war-deprived of their clergy, and naturally look forward to the broad-
cast services.-
