Sir-lI heartily agree with "Thrillers First" of Auckland. If certain programmes were put on early parents would not object to the children listening. In the evening, after having done their homework, to sit down and glue their eyes to a book again, even if it is fiction, is not. always what children call recreation. They look forward to radio serials (thriller and otherwise) as their evening entertainment, just as they do to Saturday afternoon pictures. Parents, I am sure, would much rather have their child listen to thrillers on the air each evening than have them going to the cinema each evening to see a thriller. One more thing: the feature. Their Finest Hour is one to warm everyone’s heart. Could it not be put on at a more appropriate time? Nine o’clock may not seem late, but for a half-hour serial halfpast nine is late for workers who start early next morning.
