Sir,-Your correspondent H. E. Gunter is rather hard on "local talent." Personally I heartily agree with all he savs and could easily add to his list of faults mentioned, but being a tolerant person I place the blame on the broadcasting authorities. Is it necessary to allot an entire quarter-hour to "local talent"? We could, perhaps, put up with one item very occasionally, but why when there are so many celebrated artists should we have to listen to inexperienced ° people whose only claim to distinction is their ability to sing out of tune.
