RADIO READINGS
Sir,-May I express my approval of the suggestion by your viewsreel commentator that more worth-while readings should be included in programmes? Conrad is certainly a good choice and there are many other literary giants, whose works would provide a much more satisfying fare than the average serial. I should like to suggest that such readings be given from a Wellington station. Christchurch and Dunedin have been fortunate indeed in the possession of Messrs. Simmance and Adams for so long. The inclusion of the Shackleton expedition in the "Scrapbook" of Sunday morning gave me unqualified pleasure. What an influence on a nation the Broadcasting Service could be, if it provided more of such programmes, which create in the listener the urge to make of life something more heroic than an existence punctuated by cheap and sensational entertainment.
