Sheep-stealer
HE first broadcast from 4ZB of Early Days in New Zealand dealt with the discoverer of the tract of land known now as the Mackenzie Country. No listener who has visited that area of the South Island where one can see Mt. Cook, as the shepherd-hero of this story said, "upside down in a lake," would fail to be interested in the account of Mackenzie’s life. But it was infuriating to find that many of the facts were crowded out to allow of advertising time, leaving only a rough sketch of Mackenzie, his slit-tongued dog, his Gaelic, and his sheep-stealing on the grand scale. With the story in mid-gir,.we were suddenly switched to another programme. The remainder of this particular story will no doubt be heard at a future date, but half the dramatic interest is lost by not allowing listeners to hear it all at one sitting.
