From a Lonely Lighthouse Keeper

TRIBUTE to the value of broadcasting comes from a lighthouse keeper on Stephen Island. It speaks for itself :- "Hearing an announcement made from 2YA recently, reminded me that I had not thanked you for the way in which you had arranged to have us keepers advised of the Tutanekai’s arrivals and departures. "I must say that there are no halfmeasures about you people, you do a thing thoroughly, and the service that we receive from your stations leaves nothing to be desired. Just what a receiving set means in a lightkeeper’s home, when the lightkeeper can keep in touch with all that is going on, just as the city dweller, who can get his daily paper, can easily be imagined. The island stations, some of them with a mail once a month only, are no longer left out in the cold, "With your excellent news sessions, concert programmes and even children’s sessions, well, one has to be placed as we are to realise fully what a difference it all makes. I thank you most heartily for the manner jn which you met my request for the announcements re the s.s. Tutanekai, and wish your company every success.-Yours faithfyllo.
