"TO-DAY IN NEW ZEALAND HISTORY"
Sir,-Permit me to send through your columns a message of congratulation to the compilers of To-day -in New Zealand History. The choice of subjects is excellent and the elimination of all superfluous words makes each broadcast a real gem-perfect examples of craftsmanship in the still new medium of radio, Such an excellent series is well worthy of far greater coverage and better times. Instead of being confined to 2YA at 1.25 and 2YC at 6.0 o’clock they deserve a place in the national link. The ideal tine, I suggest, would be 7.0 p.m. immediately following the BBC radio newsreel. In the majority of homes the evening meal (and wash-ing-up) is finished by then, the younger children are in bed (and the older ones should certainly not miss this series), the evening programmes are about to begin-and for those going out it’s not yet time to leave. I venture to prophesy that a daily broadcast of this series at this time would do more to make New Zealanders conscious of their country’s nationhood and its growing responsibilities than any other single means could possibly do. .
