RETURN OF A NATIVE
Sir,-Guy Marriner asks himself what is going to happen to keen musicians in New Zealand-whether something can’t be done to'give them greater opportunities. I suggest that churches give opportunities to modern composers, poets, painters and craftsmen, as well as choirs. Why not Cathedral orchestras? All public buildings and schools should be decorated with murals and sculpture, metal work, and wood carving. Let the Maori artist be given the opportunity to
develop his own heritage. ‘Taxation would probably be a little more per head but the pleasure received infinitely greater. There must be other ways of full-time living for young musicians, poets, writers, painters, sculptors and craftsmen without the "undeserved frustration and disappointment" that Guy Marriner realises might be the fate of the keen musicians.
