Interesting Talks

HERE is little doubt that the standard of the talks given from 1YA has improved greatly in the last month or two. Wor some reason or another there seems to be a tendency among listeners to look upon all talks as "dry bones," but a good talk in which the speaker’s voice and matter are well matched should be as entertaining as any other section of the programme, and some of those given from 1YA recently have been "full of meat." The series being given in connection with ‘the International Recorded Programmes is particula.:ly good, and other interesting series are the sea yarns by "Lee-Fore-Brace," the series by the Auckland Manufacturers’ Association, the dog talks by "Sparwood," and the sports talks by Gordon Hutter.
