EARLY NEW ZEALAND
Sir,-On behalf of many listeners this side of Cook Strait, I. would like to record an appreciation of the recent series of talks on early life in our land by. Douglas Cresswell. With "John Guard," "Te Rauparaha and Cook Strait," and "The Redcoats Come ‘to New Zealand," Mr. Cresswell gave us wonderful descriptions of those stirring times (a somewhat hackneyed phrase, but they certainly were stirring!). We in New Zealand are indeed fortunate to have such a combination of historian and broadcasting personality as Mr. Cresswell. It was rather unfortunate, then, that for his closing episode in the series from station 3ZB, the wrong episode was accidentally played. It detracted from what would have been a great finale for such an excellent series. I hope that in the near future we shall have the opportunity of hearing more of these "living" historical narratives from Mr.
Cresswell.
