Travel Broadcasts

WO interesting people are shortly to be heard on the air. One is Miss D. M. Chown, F.R.G.S., R.E.S.,; an Bnglish authoress who loves to travel round the world on tracks that are not too well beaten. One of her achievements was to journey alone from the Cape to Cairo, availing herself of any means of transport that presented itself on byway or highway. Miss Chown has been tc New Zealand on a previous occasion, and when she broadcast a talk in Japan she was able to tell her English listeners there a lot about this country. She has been booked for a series of talks from 2YA in February, and will take as her theme "A Woman’s Wanderings Through Africa." HE other lecturer is a young American, Arthur Cone, who is "hitchhiking" round the world. This expression implies walking when necessary, but always welcoming a free lift on anything travelling on land, water, or air. He has travelled thus during the last five years. He lately ‘worked his way on the Ventura across the Pacific to Australia, saw that country, and also Papua. Now he is doing New Zealand, after having worked his passage across the Tasman. Though still in his ’teens, he has had a life of varied experiences. He told 1YA listeners about them on Wednesday, January 6, and will speak from 2YA on Friday, January 22.
