DuRING the holiday period 1YA is broadcasting special early church services, for the benefit of families at the seaside. Many holiday-makers nowadays have wireless sets with them, but. the usual church services are -at times which do not,.as.a rule, fit in With beach routine. People. holidaymaking at the beaches are in the habit of leaving their ‘shacks before noon and not returning till dark, spending the whole day outside on the beach. To meet these cases it was decided to broadcast: from the 1YA studio. three special morning services at 9 o'clock. The first was conducted by the Methodists on January 5, and the second: will he given by the Church of Engla January 19, and the. third on Feby 2 by the Presbyterians. A correspondent to the "Radio Record" says many listeners, particularly those born in England, are looking forward to. the broadeasting of the English’ nightingale record. Perhaps the 1YA authorities will be able to arrange a broadcast: of. a real, nightingale, as the birds brought out here some time ago have. been heard on seyeral occasions lately, and have apparently become acclimatised. Nightingales have been broadcast -in ‘England, and incidentally heard -by one or two fortunate listeners’ in New Zealand, and there seems to be a chance therefore that 1YA may be able to give us a treat at some future date. sombuntnteipedammnstaieel erred
