WHY TOWNS ARE CROWDED
Sir,-Monetary recompense for labour is not the only way of measuring the treatment of city as against country. The cities are installed with up to four alternative broadcasting stations, the alternatives low-powered and obviously only for city coverage. Country folk therefore have to depend on main stations, the linking of which ensures no alternative, and what with propaganda, educational sessions, children’s sessions, endless war news repetitions and commentaries, pleading, requesting, warning, announcements of future political talks, loan campaigning, advertising and race ing, one sometimes wonders which are the Commercial stations. Southland, a province producing a high proportion of National wealth, has one station called alternative, but in reality linked for all health talks and only on the air a few hours a day. No wonder congestion and housing problems are a feature of city
life:
