For Southern Listeners
A SERIES of talks prepared by Florrie Hogarth, and given from 4YA, has been dealing with The Blue Pool of Wakatipu. The very name of this series has a nostalgic effect on any listener who has ever spent a holiday in and about Wakatipu amd the surrounding country; and these talks, treating of life in the old days, would appeal to all types of listener interested in the region, whether tourist, country shopkeeper, farmet, or mountaineer. With the centenary of Otago coming next year, such talks, full of anecdotes, reminiscences of place and person, historical facts, and description of social life and customs, are the very thing southerners require to help them to a further knowledge of their own province. Broadcasting will be of inestimable service during the centennial year, when we expect to be overwhelmed with historical celebrations. Let us hope that the historical material broadcast will have the atmosphere, the interest, and the humour shown by thé writer of these talks.
