1YA Children's Committee

"PHE fifth meeting of the 1YA Chil. dren’s Committee was held on Tuesday last. An apology for absence was received from Mrs. Bruce McKenzie, who forwarded a letter in connection with a request for support for the installation of a wireless set at the Waikeria Prison Camp. The committee felt that the request was somewhat outside its province and decided to take no action. The Radio Broadcasting Company wrote intimating that it had been. decided to hold the children’s session for Christmas Day in the morning of 9 am., in accordance with the committee’s previous resolution, and fur-. ther intimated that they had decided to adopt the committee’s resolution regarding the introduction of a gramophone record on occasional children’s programmes, the record to be accompanied with a short comment. The chairman intimated in connection with unsolicited donations which had come to hand that in furtherance of the committee’s scheme to install crystal sets in cases where deserving circumstances warranted, a satisfactory quotation had been received from a local radio firm, and it wa. decided to proceed with the matter immedi« ately. ; The committee passed a resolution recomwending the company to introduce a series of talks on "Vocational’ Guidance," to be given by prominent people during the children’s session, once a fortnight. . The committee decided to meet again on February 26, 1929.
