EVERY NIGHT AT NINE
Sir,-Every night at nine my wife threatens to go to the studio and shoot the announcer on duty. No doubt she is only one of hundreds who also want to shoot the awful man who interrupts the beautiful recording of "On Wings of Song" to inform us that all stations are standing by for the period of silent prayer during the chiming of Big Ben. We respectfully suggest that sufficient time should be allowed to play the full recording. We might then be in the mood for silent prayer, instead of in a mood for murder. The objectionable practice reminds me very much of the Naval custom on Sunday morning of working the ratings into a state of rebellion bee fore marching them to church.
