NEW ZEALAND CALLING.
Sir,-I am sending you an extract of a letter I received to-day from my son. I wish you could find room in your paper to publish this, as I know the boys up there would like the organisers of this programme, "New Zealand Calling," to know how much it means to them.

EXTRACT. "For the first time on ‘Friday night our A.E.S. radio station transmitted our own halfhour programme, ‘New Zealand Calling.’ It was, for a New Zealand production, superall manner of items of interest crowded into a half-hour, The main attraction, as far as I was concerned, was the placing of the microphone in the Ferry Buildings in Auckland, to pick up the sound effects. I never thought the Ferry siren sounded so good and the tram bell, too! Such little things, but from now on I shall never forget the every-day sounds of back home. Even the sound of Aunt Daisy was welcome to us young chaps. Anyway, the programme is on every Friday night, so will become a big event in our lives up here. Somebody is certainly deserving of thanks."
