Budgeting "THE home science talks from 1YA, 2YA, and 3YA will be on "Budgeting, or Managing the Family Income." 1YA Notes D E. B. GUNSON has consented to broadcast a talk which he recently gave to the Civic League on "Pure Foods," a subject of great importance to the health of the community. The New Clarion Quartet, consisting of four of Auckland’s leading singers, who are in great demand in both city and country, will be singing for 1YA this evening. Miss Lillian Woods, the soprano, was soloist last year for the performance of "The Messiah," given by the Auckland Choral Society, while Miss Beryl Smith is outstanding as a Ypntnalto. The tenor of the combinaion is Mr. Lambert Harvey, who was considered to be one of the leading tenors of the North of England. He has sung many times for the leading musical societies of Auckland and elsewhere,

The possessor of a pure bass voice, Mr. Duncan Black broadcasts particularly well, From four such singers, listeners will hear some excellent singing, both solos and concerted numbers. Mr. Chappell, whose topical talks are always based on important local, national, or international events, will appear on this programme. The 1YA String Octet will provide instrumental music that will enhance an already excellent programme. Dance music will continue until 11 p.m. Wellington Topics HE Miramar Silver Band, under the conductorship of Mr. R. A. Sutherland, will give another of their excellent concerts this evening. The band items include a selection from Donizetti’s opera, "The Blixer of Love," a humoresque, "Buy a Broom," Greenwood’s popular waltz, "Queen of Hmeralds," and several marches. The cornet solo, "Australis," will be played by Bandsman Newton. The soprano soloist, Miss Mackenzie, who is a versatile young artiste from Palmerston North, in which town she is very popular, specialising in Scottish ballads and popular songs at the piano, will be heard to-night, Mr. J. H. Lee is a bass singer with a fine resonant voice and an excellent sense of interpretation, and his items are bound to prove popular. Miss McDavitt, the contralto soloist, is already well known to listeners for her meritorious performances. The tenor soloist will be Mr. Harry Phipps. Notes from Christchurch "THE talk for farmers will be on "Wood Utilisation," by Mr. W. G. Morrison, Conservator of Forests. A concert to be given in the Civic Theatre by the Christchurch Male Voice Choir will be relayed.

This choir, which sings under the baton of Dr. J. C. Bradshaw, is a particularly popular combination.

The programme will also include the sea chantey, "Bound for the Rio Grande."
