POWER SAVING HOURS
»ir,-l am disappointed at the time arranged by the broadcasting authorities for saving power: 8.15 to 845 a.m. Women staying at home can have it on all day, but workers going out are only able to have it at certain hours, and now even these are curtailed. Why penalise the workers? There must be some
time during working hours that could be cut out and so let the working people have this little bit of pleasure when they are at home. Often the morning session is the only one we can listen to, especially with so much overtime to do. We hardly ever hear the radio. Anyway, I cannot turn off my wireless at this time as the quarter to nine war news is the signal for me to leave for work, watches and clocks being now unprocurable.
BADLY HIT
(Wellington
[The official reply is this: Stations are closed to save power, and to achieve this object to ‘any. satisfactory extent, they must be closed ‘at a time when large numbers are normally using their radio sets. The time between 8.15 and 8.45 a.m. is one of those periods, ] \
