(THE organisers of the concert which is to be broadcast on relay from, Wanganui on Friday, December 7, have already arranged their programme. A _ covering letter says: ‘Without doubt this will be one of th finest programmes ever submitted to a Wanganui audience, and we are vain enough to think that it would be hard to beat it in any of the cities."

Wills, Miss Vivienne Ralph, Mr. Gordon Bergerson (champion cornetist), Mr. J. G. Swan (a veteran elocutionist, but still in the first flight), Mrs. T. L. Sperring (monologue entertainer), Mrs. G. E. Tarrant, Master Jack Buckley (12-year-old cornet player), the Wanganui Primary Schools Harmonica Band of 60 performers, and of course, the Queen Alexandra’s Own Band, the champion band of New Zealand. The accompanists will be Mz. Gordon McBeth and Mr. Horatio Nelson. °
