Centennial Story
zY the time Otago’s Centennial celebrations get under way, no one in the province who has a radio, and who lives within range of 4YA, should be able to plead ignorance of provincial history. From Tuesday, October 7, until the third week in March, 1948 (with a short break for the Christmas holidays), 4YA will broadcast weekly talks designed to build a complete background for the Centennial. Dr. A. H. McLintock, official historian to the Otago Centennial Committee, will speak on the first Tuesday of every month, tracing the main thread of provincial development. The other Tuesdays will be taken by separate speakers dealing either with the history of the various districts in Otago or with some special aspects of its story. . Following Dr. McLintock’s opening talk, entitled The Discovery of Otago, the Rev. H. O. Bowman will speak, on October 14, on Early Shipping at Port Chalmers, On October 21 the story of the two famous Maori Otago chiefs, Tuafawaiki and Taiaroa, will be told by Barbara Angus, and the subject for October 28 will be Pioneering from a Woman’s Point of View, by Mrs. Eileen L. Soperr Listening time will be 8.30 p.m. After the 9.0 p.m. news on October 10, 4¥Z will also broadeast Dr. McLintock’s first talk.
