TICK-TOCK
Sir,-I should be grateful for the opportunity of expressing appreciation of a regular feature in the broadcast programmes, to which, as far as I know, there has not been any reference in recent years, : It may very well be that with regard to radio programmes there are generally accepted standards of judgment, but of these I am ignorant. However, I am sure that there would be widespread agreement that account must be taken of such factors as tonal purity, appropriateness of rhythm, accuracy in factual representation, integrity in emotional expression, catholicity of appeal, seasonableness in appeafance, and convincing definition of authoritative judgment. By these canons, I cannot consider any feature to be of greater merit than the most regular of all. Nor can I think that there is any doubt about its most beneficent influence in the promotion of order in the community and the settlement of vexatious disputes. I may add that it is enthusiastically welcomed by all in our household, including the 13-months-old junior member with his vigorous equivalent of "Time Tick."
