BURNHAM CAMP CONCERT
Sir,-I very much regret the attitude of the National Broadcasting Service in refusing to broadcast portion of a Camp Concert being produced and given by the men of J Force, Burnham. It seems to me incredible that a Service purporting to represent national interests should be unwilling to encouragé the professional artists of to-morrow. We did not ask that the whole concert should be broadcast; we did not ask for half of it. We would have been satisfied with haif-an-hour over 3YA, all with the approval of the concert organiser, and were a little dumbfounded at the ‘trepidations of the Department. Might it not be that the public are a little tired of "canned" music, be it never so easy to broadcast, and that it would welcome flesh and blood artists for a change, though they might be a little immature! Most certainly many | parents and friends will be disappointed at not hearine what their bovs can do
before they go away. —
