POINTS FROM LETTERS
"Amateur" (Dunedin) complains that 3YA had’ one band, one cfchestra, eight singers, and. nine instrumentalists on the evening programme for. the period May 29-June 4, while 4YA had cne choir, one singer, and ore instrumentalist. "Don’t suggest" (we are warned) "that the performers and the standard were not available, because they were, land the public knew it. A Dunedin-trained musician is a real musiciaa in any town in New Zealand." ‘ "Anxious Parent" (Takapuna) deplores "the cheap, vulgar jargon of the gangster underworld,"’ heard in some of the ZB serials. . J. Thompson (Epsom) suggests that "Tennyson" was a very bad pen-name for the correspondent who objects to prayer. He tecommends the reading of "The Passing of Arthur." Mary M. Mitchell (Mosgiel) and another correspondent who has neglected to send her name, express appreciation of Julia Bradley’s recital of Scottish Folk Songs from 4YA, but point out that "Islay’’ is pronounced "I-lay," not "Is-lay."’
