The last time the humorous My, Walpole was on,the air at 2YA an incident happened in the studio that is too precious to go unrecorded. Mr. Walpole’s theme, in which he had all sorts of funny things to say about politicians and things in general, was entitled "The World Outlook," or something like that. It so happened that the programme that evening was running a little beyond scheduled time, with the result that Mr. Walpole started his "oration" at the time actually appointed for the usual weekly lecturette by the EditorAnnouncer. No sooner had Mr. Walpole stepped from the "mike’® than there was a call on the studio *phone, and in response to the answering query a youthful voice piped back: "Would you please ask the Editor-Announcer to recite his Imperial Affairs again"! If Mr. Walpole amused his listening audience, and there’s no doubt that he did, then his youthful admirer simply convulsed the station stiff. They haven’t stopped laughing.
