THIS IS DENNISTON
Sir-I wish to apologise to Mrs. Violet Pearson and to local gardeners for giving the impression that Denniston is too rocky to support many good vegetable gardens. This was in my talk *Buller Mining Community Centres" in the ZB series This Is New Zealand. I have been carefully through the script, and as far as I can see this is the only mistake. The first two minutes of the talk were concerned mainly with the impressions of a Scots bride settling in Denniston at the end of World War One, The remaining 10 minutes of the talk describes the remarkable improvements by community-minded people in
the Buller district (including Denniston) in the last eight years. E«wish Mrs, Pearson had mentioned this in her letter. The talk ended: "A new life has opened up in Buller today. They’ve gone a long way since World War One." This talk (like every other talk in this series) was checked as soon as it was written by local péople. Five people (three of them had lived altogether 65 years in Denniston) checked and approved the script, The whole object of this talk was not to describe Denniston, but to try and show what Buller people have done for themselves lately.
