A Feast of Features

Fare from 2YA UITE a feast of good matter has been given listeners to 2YA of late in the form of special relays and features. On the evening of October &. listeners were treated to a special de--seription of the championship fight between Leckie and Radford. This was a very thrililng piece of work, and was greatly appreciated by listeners. Then of course there was the return of the All Blacks. This was an outstanding event, and full advantage was taken of it. N the evening of Thursday, an wexpected but thrilling. opportunity was given all listeners by the band of 'ALM.A.S. Australia, under Warrant Bandmaster Ventry, attending durin: the children’s session. and giving a spe eial half-hour recital. On the evening of Monday, October 15, Sir John Salmond the noted aviation expert. spoke from 2YA, and on Tuesday the reception given Lord Lovat was specially broadcast by 2YA. THESE features will serve to show listeners that every opportunity is taken to put them in touch with all events and incidents of note. Through radio, they are thus being put more closely in touch with actual events than almost by personal attendance--with a very great economy of time. These features, needless to say, have been greatly appreciated by listeners.
