GOOD WEEK' PROGRAMME FROM 4YA

At the conclusion of the Central Mission Church service on Sunday, the first regular concert by the St. Kilda Band will be played, providing the weather is suitable. The St. Kilda Band is in excellent form, and will render a fine programme. Its Sunday night concerts will be a regular feature from 4YA during the summer months, when fine weather prevails. On Tuesday afternoon Miss Margucrite Puechegud will again be heard, offering valuable suggestions for furnishing and renovating the home. Mr. H, Greenwood will also conduct his weekly review of books, mostly fiction Pastor W. DV. More will deliver a very humorous address ¢n Tues= day evening. The title will be "Epitaphs,’’ and fisteners who miss this will miss a treat. Here is one of them, from Mark Twain: "Here lies the remains of Alexan: der McGlu, He lies in sweet repose; He wore a pink shirt and mune ber nine shoe, And had a big wart on his uose."’ This provides an illustration of the quaint and incongruous humour that frequently appears in Graveyards, The prograumme for the evening: concert om Tuesday includes some of the best broadcasting talent in Dun- edin, and it promises to be most in-

teresting. Miss Gwen Cooper, whose pleasing contralto voice is always eagerly looked forward to, will con-. tribute four songs, as will Miss Peggy Neill (mezzo-soprano) in her usual artistic manner. Mr. HK. G. Bond (basso), and Mr. Avery Dale (baritone) will also render two brackets of sougs each. Instrumental solos will be provided by Mr. A. Levi (flautist), Mr George Christie (cornetist), and Miss A. D, Allen at the piano. PPTs HHI SU LCL eT ies enn Satna
