"NIGHTS AT THE BALLET" is a new session heard from 4ZB on Sundays at 9.30 p.m. The better-known ballet suites are presented weekly. Station 4ZB has a reputation for its music sessions of every type; at least one programme of specially-selected pieces is broadcast each evening. Equal attention is given to the day-time sessions. * ES *% N a final network broadcast from the five Commercial stations, the A.T.C. Quiz programmes will be concluded on. Sunday, August 19. During this broadcast the winning wing will be presented with a trophy given by the Commandant of the A.T.C., Wing-Commander A. E. -W. McDonald. The trophy is an 8¥4lb. practice bomb, mounted, chromium-plated and engraved. Last year the provincial wing won the trophy, beating Dunedin by a single point.

A first series of these sessions, in which the evolution of swing was analysed, has just come to an end and in the second series the programmes are planned to illustrate the place of the rhythmic and melodic sections in the modern band-the importance of the sectional units such as the piano, drums, clarinet, trombone, and so on. The Swing Band sessions are broadcast from 3ZB on Mondav nichts at 10.15, :
