"GUTTERBROWS"
Sir,-Your correspondent J. D. Parkin (Timaru) is not a lover of the lighter side of radio. I come to this conclusion after reading his words (I quote); "The air is polluted by plagiarists, pirates, crooners, jazz fiends, modernistic atroc-ity-mongers and gutterbrows generally."
The three words "and gutterbrows g¢ ‘ ally" seem to imply that all classe before them can be lumped under tha heading. And I suppose we who enjoy’ such programmes are included in that expression. Who is J. D. Parkin to use such words to people, who though differing on music and programmes, I am sure are on as high a. social plane as the correspondent himself? Let him listen to his programmes, but we others who differ from him ~in our choice should not be abused for daring to ig differently.
