2YA's Announcer

Gains Us One Subscriber -_-- ey a recent issue we made the -painful announcement that 2YA’s announcer had cost us one subscriber, as one gentleman declined to renew his subscription "unless Mr. Diummond were given the sack." In recording this amusing incident, we invited any supporters of Mr. Drummond fo rush their subscriptions in to replace this severe loss. This facetious appeal was effective in several cases, but one of the best letters received on the point was ‘as follows. This has come from a subscriber in the South Canterbury district i "My subscription to the ‘Radio Record’ expired with thé last issue. I had decided, owing to a policy of retrenchment, to allow my subscription to lapse. My mind was quite made up on that point. However, on perusing your last issue and what I thought was to be my last copy of your paper, I saw where you were threatened with the loss of a subscriber unless you ‘sacked’ Mr. Drummond. Now, as an admirer of your announcer and one who has very pleasant recollections of an afternoon spent in his studio six weeks ago, I write in haste to make an offer-in case, in this time of financial stringency, you should be tempted to bow to this subscriber’s wishes and dispense with your announcer’s services, I herewith enclose the wherewithal for a renewal of my subscription, on condition that you don’t sack Mr. Drummond." So Mr. Drummond still holds his job.
