Question Mark
UESTION MARK is the title of a "new national discussion programme which will take the air from YA stations at 8.30 p.m. on Monday, August 3, and be heard each Monday at the same time throughout August, September and October. In each session a local panel will consider for half an hour some problem of current .national interest. For the first two months the discussions will
— originate in Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington, and wil] be broadcast only by the YA stations in these centres. Christchurch, which is at present running its own discussion session, WellInformed Circle, will join Question Mark and complete the national link in October. No problem is at present of greater national interest than housing, and the Auckland panel which will launch Question Mark will have an important aspect of this problem to consider. The ques-
_-_-- $$$ tion it will try to answer is: Can we cut housing costs without cutting. housing standards? The chairman of the panel will be an architect, Vernon Brown, and he will have with him a builder, W. H. Craven, a carpenter, J. Goldstone, and a house-seeker, Peter Young. Dunedin will provide the second panel, on August 10, to discuss: How can we reduce the number of. traffic accidents? Members of the panel are W. J. McInnes, who has been a member of the Automobile Association executive and of the Road Safety Council, M. G, Collins, district traffic superintendent, R. O. Talbot, of the South Island Motor Union, and Lindsay Brown, who speaks for motor-cyclists. The first Wellington panel, to be heard on August 17, will be asked: How far should we go in industrialising New Zealand? Its members are P, Martin Smith (chairman), L3:; Fi Cronin, Ian Allen and A.; P. O’Shea. The second round of Question Mark will start with an Auckland panel discussing "Must We Always ‘Look to Wellington’?" and a Dunedin panel considering whether provincialism is a brake on progress.-
