EARLY NEW ZEALAND
Sir,-As an old colonial who thinks he knows his New Zealand, I wish to add my tribute to "Dowsy’s" by expressing the great pleasure I have had in listening to Douglas Cresswell’s breezy broadcasts on the good old days. His intimate knowledge of the subject is remarkable and meticulously accurate, not only in general outline, but also when he is portraying the personal characteristics of the prominent pastoral and agricultural pioneers, many of whom, together with their estates, I knew in my youth. Mr. Cresswell has undoubtedly made an outstanding contribution _to our islands’ story, artistically rendered and delightfully enlivened by flashes of humour. I join with "Dowsy" and others in the hope that Mr. Cresswell may be heard in many more broad-
casts.
