HUB OF THE WAIKATO
Sir,-May I offer a mild comment on an article you ran in your issue of June 29? It dealt with our local station 1XH, and although I have been anxious for some time to read of some virtue in this establishment, I was defeated in this instance by my inability to read beyond the first few lines of your article. I am wondering if any more of your equally fastidious readers experienced the same trouble. Of course, I may be obtuse; the opening paragraph could have been deliberately written like that to match the rubbish churned out by the station for nine-tenths of its time.
CHAS. E.
WARDLE
(Hamilton).
(If the "first few lines’’ defeated our correspondent, we suspect that a quest for ‘‘virtue"’ undertaken so faint-heartedly could only have been a search for what might seem to confirm his prejudices.-Ed. )
