PERIOD OF SILENT PRAYER
Sir,-I’m all in favour of Mr A. R. D, Fairburn’s proposal that the "period of silent prayer" on Sunday nights be taken literally. I would suggest: omit the chimes and dongs and the "music"; let it be one full minute’s unbroken silencea thing I sigh for on some other radio occasions than this one. After all, this "music" is only: the tailcadence of Walford Davies’s Solemn Melody played sobstuffingly on a Wurlitzer organ. Not that I’m_against these instruments, either. I’m in fact all for a Foort on a cinema organ as long as he keeps off serious organ music such ag this. The "music" well deserves the Fairburn it got.
