Philbin (Otago): Your request has been forwarded to the R:B.C. ‘ Racing Ban. I ACCORD my hearty support to Gordon ©. Moses re the racing: ban. In my opinion, also, the Broadcasting Co.. would have the support of the generat public if they again: broadcast running descriptions, and this can certainly be done on most of the metropolitan’ courses, I venture to say that if the Gaming Bill comes into being, and money is able to be telegraphed to the course, the Racing and Trotting Conference will be only. too glad to agree

to the. broadcast.-

Children’ $ Sessions. E enjoy "Uncle Tom" from iYA very much. He has certainly the art of becoming a child when spéaking to the children, and this gives him such & power over all his young listeners.-

Too Much Rebroadcasting. UNLESS the programmes improve | and less rebroadcasting done before next April I do not intend taking out another license: -It was recently stated that it was the aim of the Broadcasting Company to give listeners the choice of four good concerts. Since then we have had more rebroadcasting of 2YA and introduced relaying of 3YA by 4YA, and 2YA fades and distorts. Most of us who have had sets before the Broadcasting Company came.into being now look for quality first, and would welcome three nights a week of good quality programmes rather than, five of the Glass we are having at present. The ‘children’s session is the niost enjoyable put over, and next to that is the relay work. Timaru and Temuka concerts were verv

fine performances.-

Outside Performances. WE cannot speak too highly of radio. We have just the "humble crystal," but find Wellington quite satisfies us, especially as the broadcasts on relay which are "put over". give us the pleasure of hearing outside performances sometimes, the latest of these being the delightful programme from Hastings on Thursday night.-

Wonderfully Improved. I MUST congratulate the R.B.C. for the improvement to the programmes. The transmissions from 2YA have improved wonderfully late-

ly. The relays of the Port Nicholson Band by 1YA-and the Wanganui relay from 2YA were excellent. We would like a few relays of. Wellington . dance orchestras. ~The relays from 1YA and 38YA are much appreciated.-
