STATION 2YA's Children’s Hour had a change of venue the other day. At the invitation of the Wellington Hospital Entertainment Committee, Aunts Molly and Jane, with some of their radio family, transferred the session for half an hour, to the children’s surgical ward of the hospital, where the broadcast took place. There were songs, games, a play—"The Miserable Dragon"—written by Aunt Jane, and a revival of nursery rhymes. "It was just like a little party," Aunt Molly told "The Listener." "There were the children, sitting down happily to their evening meal, and enjoying the programme. And I think they liked the nursery rhymes which, in these days of so many sophisticated children, are in some danger of fading out." This was the first time a broadcast had been done from the surgical ward.
