GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND
Sir-Why does the National Broadcasting Service neglect to propagate our own National Anthem over the air? Are they ashamed of the song or are they merely unconcerned? I wonder if they realise that only a few people can recite the first two verses off-hand. {t is surprising to realise just how little this song is played. We never hear it in the picture theatres, hardly ever at public functions, and seldom over
the air. Is there nothing the authorities can do about this state of’ affairs? Surely they can manage to play "God Defend New Zealand" at some time during the day when it can be heard by everyone.
