es Radio Distribution Appreciated

N 1929 and again this year, 1YA broadcast the community singing which took place every Wednesday at the Town Hall. The broadcasts met with widespread appreciation from listeners. The secretary of the Auckland Community Singing Committee, Mr. Wm. Whitehead, now writes to the station manager at 1YA: "IT am desired by my committee to’ conyey to your company their great appeciation of the services rendered by th¢ company in broadcasting the community singing during the season just closed. It will, I feel sure,. be’ gratifying to you to know that the number of letters received by me from listeuers has been even greater this year than last, and they all express their delight in being able to listen to the singing. Such phrases as ‘Better than a doctor’s tonic,’ ‘Red-letter day of the week, ‘Wouldn’t miss it on any account,’ may be mentioned as typical and indicative of the pleasure you have given to people even so far away as Collingwood, in the South Island."
