LOCAL TALENT
Sir-I agree with "Still Hoping," of Feilding in the very interesting letter about local talent. It is a matter greatly to be deplored that more notice is not taken of, and encouragement given, to our own artists, After all a local artist is a national artist, being one of New Zealand’s own. I, too, like my favourites. I get used to certain voices; others I just switch off. I would like tO hear more of certain local artists so that I could grow with them and feel with them in their work of giving pleasure to others; and I put the same question as "Still Hop. ing," why cannot we have recordings of our talented artists’ works so that wa can hear them over again and become more familiar with their works? At present, like the "Passing Parade," these people step out to do their bit, and then fade from sight, back into the Passing Parade of talent neglected.
