COMPLAINT FROM SCHOOL
Sir-Being a student in the sixth form, my taste in music is beginning to : develop. My only free time for listening to the radio is during the 8.45 9.15 period. Night after night in an endeavour to get some good orchestral music I try | the National stations, to find that little of this is om until 10 p.m. or later. Thus my craving for music of the best type is insatiable. I believe that a great opportunity is being lost in failing to present good music at suitable times to create in the youth of this country the musical tagte and discrimination it should have.

APPEAL. FOR OLD PEOPLE Sir-I would appeal to all readers who agree with Sam Weller’s letter, to back him up. We have been deprived long enough of good listening except for a quarter of an hour now and then. Sam is a stranger to me, but Mr. Editor, let his actual suggestions be carried out, and we'll have more to offer on those lines. I believe there are thousands of us waiting. And do keep down the instrumental blare ‘between items. please.

Sir-I am sorry to have given a wrong impression in my previous letter which some of your readers took too
seriously. Actually most of it was written with a good-natured chuckle, especially the bit about the announcer, against whom I really haven’t the slightest illwill, My critical remarks were mainly from the viewpoint of the old folks for whom the broadcasting service certainly doesn’t cater early in the evening, so imagine my delight on reading the recent letter from "Sam Weller" on this very subject. I now put out ‘the suggestion that some stations (including 2YC) cater for young and old on alternate evenings. None of my young friends could deny the fairness 6f such an arrangement.
GENTLE
ANNIE
