Sir-Might I suggest to the Broad casting Service that its New Year Resolution be to make the programmes brighter and more interesting. It could well start by improving the approach to the 9 p.m. Newsreel, which is in effect the Voice of New Zealand. At present this session is heralded by a tuneless dirge, followed by the sobering effect of "Big Ben," capped by, in most instances, a depressing voice telling us that we are to have more rain to-morrow. By this time one has collapsed to the bottom of one’s chair resigned to hear the wérst.
