Notes on the Way
HAT about a weekly commentary on local news? There are plenty of strictly local topics on which a reasonably discreet observer could easily contrive to say something interesting, informative, and even wise and witty once a week. I have in mind something like the "Notes on the Way" in Time and Tide, in which a guest commentator, changed at intervals of, say, every four weeks, would be invited to express his own opinions on the happenings of the . week. Speaking as an Aucklander I can imagine a local commentator dealing (for example) last week with the University Senate, the drought, and the tennis championships, and this week with the milk supply, the housewives’ Town Hall meeting, and the opening of the school year. If commentators were changed four-weekly, and no one was given a "repeat" within the year, all shades of opinion could be represented, and I venture to predict that this would be a most popular session. Too controversial -? But is everything worth saying to be left to the correspondence and editorial columns in the Press?
