ANZAC DAY
NZAC DAY will be marked on Wednesday, April 25, by commemorative services all over New Zealand and, as in the past, many of these will be broadcast from NZBS stations. These will include Dawn Parades, and Citizens’ Services in either morning or afternoon. Speakers at this year’s services will include the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, Sir Geoffry Scoones, the Chief Justice, Sir Harold Barrowclough, and Sir Carl Berendsen. Among special broadcasts is a relay from 3YA of a Toc H and RSA. Service of Remembrance and Re-dedication. Ex-servicemen in particular will be interested in a special Anzac Day edition of "Won't You Come In?" to be heard at 8,0 p.m. from 1YA, 2YA, 4YA, 3Y¥Z and 4YZ. For the occasion William Austin, who spent seven years in the Air Forces overseas in the Second World War, became a Squadron Leader and was awarded the D.F.C., will have as special guest Oliver A. Gillespie. Mr. Gillespie served in both world wars, was awarded the M.M. and the M.B.E., and became a Lieutenant-Colonel. Other listeners will be invited to join Mr. Austin and Mr. Gillespie while they talk over their wartime experiences-the sort of songs that were sung and the shows they went to see; and these reminiscences will, of course, be interrupted from time to time when Mr. Austin plays records from his collection. -_-- ----
