Christchurch Carnival Week to be Specially Featured

Special Preparations made by 3YA Carnival Week in Christchurch-November 5 to November 12-will be noteworthy in more ways than one. This is usually a great time in Christchurch, but this year it will be made still more memorable. The enjoyments and attractions will be spread further afield than Christchurch. In plain language, they will be broadcast. If people cannot come to Christchurch, Christchurch will be brought to them, for the Broadcasting Company intends to relay, broadcast, and: rebroadcast all-that it is possible to do. There will be no less than seven days of racing (trots and gallops) described and broadcast by the Company’s official sports announcer, Mr. A. R. Allardyce. From the studio itself will radiate brightness and gaiety, for special programmes will be broadcast. The programmes will be very suitable to the spirit of a carnival week, and will conclude on the Saturday evening with a dance programme, which will last from 8 to 11 p.m.
