THE YOUTHFUL CITY
Sir,-Usuahy historical programmes have the habit of maintaining the dust which has clung to the manuscripts and documents used by those who compile them. But a welcome exception to this is Dunedin Diary, 1864, the first programmeé of which I heard from 4YA on Saturday, March 27, at 8.0 p.m. In this programme, which will be a weekly feature, the dominant impression is that of real life in a youthful city, rather than retrospective probing into the records of past history, Rodney Grater, who prepared the programme, deserves much credit for the lively and interesting way it is presented, and for the careful selection of material which still has interest to the listener of 1954. Brian Bell, too, is to be complimented an his fine reading of the script. This collaboration by two young men who are still students at Otago University, each making full use of his own special ability, promises to produce an ‘interesting series of talks: a youthful and lively introduction to the life of a young city.
