Competitions Broadcast

A SUCCESSFUL innovation was tried out by 2YA when the official opening of the annual festival of the Wellington Competitions Society was broadcast for the first time. The sections for the children’ were greatly appreciated by adult listeners, and one tiny tot, only 3 years of age, won a place in her class. The broadeast was a boon to many listenets out of Wellington who had a personal interest in the competitors ap--pearing that night. The evening was a change from the usual programme, and no doubt the competitions will be on the air again. The experiment was a great success, and will certainly stimulate interest in’ a society which has done so much in fostering: music and elocution in the capital city.
