A Protest. JIN protest against the’) ‘manner in /which a receiit children’s session was brought to a close while a child was at. the microphone finishing a little recitation at 4YA. I am sure Mr. Announcer could have waited for two o1 three minutes after six o’clock before he started the dinner music, as I am sure the children’s hour is just ag pleasing as the dinner. session P.S,-This .is not. the first time our children’s session has been cut short. It is not like Wellington’s Mr. Announcer and his de Spot.-Disgusted (™-tmedin). ‘3 ; A Pal in "Sickness 4 AVING been confined to my bed foi the past three nionths as a result of a serious illness, I have been unable to write and express my. appreciation of the splendid pr ogramimes broadcast from 2YA, Mr. Annotincer has been ii pal of pals to me duting ty illness, and I have longed for threé o’clock to come and hear his cheet'y’ veice, I particularly wish to’ express my most grateful thanks to the sporting commissioner at 2YA. The sporting items were wonderful during my illness, and the manner in which 2YA supplied information, results, ete, of the recent Riccarton Carnival was nothing short of amazing considering the distance Christchurch is from Wellington. ‘There ir‘ no more devoted listener to the sporting sessions than I am, and my reason for taking up Wireless twelve months .ago ‘was the splendid service supplied by 2YA. I have personally® recommended to seven of my sporting friends the. service provided by 2YA, with the result that they are now enthusiastic listeners. . Where I. am emplo,ed, the: railway workshops, the men are good advertising for our local station’s sporting service. So long as 2YA supplies the goods the Broadcasting .Company need have no fear of the "sports".not-renewing their licenses in Marci: next.:: We are looking forward. to the samme service from 2YA during the holiday. season, and hope we will not be_ disappointed. Listeners would" very" much like the sporting man to ‘appear before the microphone ‘nightly anii* give us his reviews, ete., on the racing. This is done in Australia, and the company, should consider this improvement. ‘| "One of the Satisfied." >
