"ANNE OF GREEN GABLES"
Sir-There has been much con troversy of recent months concerning the question of the suitability, or other« wise, of various radio features broadcast at times when children are listening. No doubt there is something to be said for both sides of the argument, and I do not propose to enter the lists. But what I should like to know is this. After so many features have been condemned, justly or otherwise, why choose a time when children are unable ‘to listen to broadcast a programme so suitable for their ears as Anne of Green Gables?
While I realise that some youthful listeners would consider this feature "tame," since it boasts neither G-Men nor gangsters, yet I feel sure that many youngsters would appreciate an opportunity to hear it. "Anne" is beloved by children all over the world, and the adaptation is very well done. It rather wasted on the ether, though, at 1.30 on school-day afternoons. Since the entire Commercial network is running the feature, at the same hour, it does not look as though those to whom it would appeal most are destined to hear
it:
