TOO FAST
| Sir,-Would it be possible to slow down some of the main station lecturers. Many of them speak far too fast -like a nervous young preacher reading his first sermon. Some of the science talks from Auckland have had this failing. They have been read or spoken so fast that it has been impossible to follow them _ intelligently. I recently listened te a talk on penguins, in which the lecturer rattled on at the "rate of ninety." When it is arranged for any speaker to broadcast, I suggest that he be given these instructions: "Come prepared to speak quietly, slowly and deliberately. Give your hearers time to listen, remembering that reception conditions are not always perfect all over the island. Try to help them by varying the tone of voice to suit the script. Do not race o trying to beat the clock "
SLOW BUT SURE
