THE ROYAL TOUR
Sir-May I offer my heartiest congratulations to the New Zealand Broadcasting Service for their very fine work in bringing to listeners news -of ‘the Royal Tour? The commentators did a really fine’ job, and can stand by the side of anyone from overseas in this work. The cover’of each stage of the Royal journey through New Zealand was a credit to the Service-it could scarcely have been better. Behind the scenes, for months prior to the tour, there must have been a great deal of hard work; for the weeks: during the tour I’m sure there were some hectic times; and now that the tour is over, I should think there are some tired people. The technical staff, never in the limelight, did a very smooth job; and the advisers working with the commentators or priming them before they started, also deserve credit. But perhaps more than anything, I’m sure all New Zealand will join with me in praising the extremely good newsree] programmes The Queen’s Day and Royal Progress. May I say how very much I enjoyed listening to these programmes, and I congratulate those concerned on their excellence. They gave us such a grand overall picture of the day’s happenings of our Royal visitors, with smooth efficiency. I imagine many difficulties were presented in giving us this programme, but throughout it maintained its high standard of’ excellence. I’m sure New Zealanders wi'l join with me in saying "Thank you" to all concerned: for a really fine job.
