ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

M.B.S. (Henderson ).-Too long. Radiata (Whakarewarewa).-Admitted, sorrowfully; trying to overcome difficulties of recent origi n. OG. » (Balclutha).-Hard words, unjustified by the facts. Impossible to edit broadcasts not received. Cabled reports were specially commissioned. The first two, covering the first and second days’ play, arrived together, were broadcast in the 12.30 link on May 4, and repeated that evening; the third, completing the report, was broadcast at 12.30 and 7.0 on May 5. Why Shout? (Auckland).-An _ energetic, lively style is generally approved and held to be effective, though it can be.overdone. E. B. Hay (Auckland).-A management is entitled to adapt seating arran ements to circumstances as they vary from. ion to occasion. Beyond that, (1) the seats referred to were not reserved for day sales but available to be booked at the stated price; (2) uncertainty at the booking office is inexplicable, as the plan was clearly marked and had been discussed; (3) inquiry at 1ZB is not recalled, in particular not by the officer to whom such inquiries are normally referred; and he would not have given the reply quoted. The misunderstanding is regretted. If you call on the District Accountant, he will be glad to clear up any detail. Hi-Fi (Wellington).-The equalisers used with the pick-ups are designed from the recording response figures given by the manufacturers for correct reproduction. As you may find occasion, please let 2YA know of examples; they will be investigated,
