Long Distance Relays

Several More — Arranged EVERAL more long-distance relays have been arranged by the Broadcasting Company. On Friday, November 8, the performance of the musical play "High Jinks" to be produced by the Palmerston North Operatic Society is to be broadcast by 2YA, On the evening of Sunday, November 1%, there will be a relay from Ashburton of the service to be conducted in St. Stephen’s Anglican Church (Rev. A. J. Petrie, preacher), to be followed by a concert to be given by the Ashburton Silver Band. Boxing fans will be tuning-in to SYA on the evening of Friday, November 22, when it is probable that a ringside description of the H. Leckie v. Donovan boxing match in Ashburton will be broadcast. Very great interest ‘will be taken in this return match. The broadcast will occupy about half of 8YA’s programme that evening. On Wednesday, December 4, a concert to be given by the Wanganui Choral Society is to be relayed to 2YA. Wanganui concerts are invariably excellent. A relay from Otorohanga to 1YA is fixed for Friday, December 6. The concert is being organised to mark the opening of the newly renovated theatre, and a splendid programme is being arranged. Several other relays are in view but have not been finalised yet.
