POINTS FROM LETTERS
H. E., LAWRENCE (Stratford), replying to "Puzzled Layman," claims that there are many instances of rabbits and other animals passing over portions of a field sown with the help of chemicals, and going on to portions sown without chemicals, but enriched with animal manure." "APPRECIATIVE" (Wellington) hopes that Lili Kraus has not gone from New Zealand without leaving behind many recordings to be broadcast in the future. C, A. BOOTH (Petone) objects to the way in which one of our Viewsreel commentators recently ‘dismisséd brass bands as something situated on the lower rung of the musical ladder,’’ and also to the cartoon which accompanied the paragraph. BRASSY (Dunedin) says that if a combination such as the Goldman Band includes reed instruments in its ranks it is a military band and should not therefore be included in a brass band programme, as happeried recently from 2YA. A. T. BAILEY (Ohakea) replies to a correspondent’s complaint about the "free publicity" given to wrestlers on the air, by putting out that the wrestlers do not arrange the commentaries themselves, and that in any case the broadcasts could affect the box-office adversely by keeping patrons at — by their radios during the winter evenngs.
