UNTIL I tuned in 8ZC on Saturday night I thought there were only two community song leaders in New Zealand. However, one. lives and learus. * % us HE other week I saw a travel pic: ‘ture depicting the bubbling mud pools of Rotorua. The other night I was listening to 2YA and somehow I could not get those pools out of my mind. I think there must have been a ripple in the carrier. ak ue a

"TN SYMPATHY," Lower Hutt, takes me tu task for chaffing Bill Bishop regarding mothers-in-law and. pertinently asks if it is the truth that hurts. He finishes up by quoting an old saying about daughter and mother.. Yes, my friend, you are right. My wife stood over me with fire in her eyes and bade me write that par-but now she is spending her annual holiday at Day’s Bay, and I ean say what I think, Go ahead, Bill, we enjoy your stuff. . .

a de ve (;REAT stuff these Aussies get over. Did anyone hear "The Mikado" from'3LO last Saturday? I-couldn’t for statie, Bs * a AITH healing by radio is the latest innovation from one New Zealand station. Only now it wants some enterprising station to start radio healing by wireless. After all, why not? * = s "REFORM" in last week’s Mail Bag | says that my notes semetimes annoy him, and in the same breath wants me to annoy 38YA by sending them laughing gas.

They want to'take over the reins of control long before. their judgment is mature, we a 4 EAR QUADRANT, re your par: on interference. Reception of trolley buses here in Shirley is well nigh perfect. Couldn’t we make the Christchurch Tramway Board take out a transmitting license?-DX28MC. Seemingly they are privileged. s w * ASN OUNCERS on form-Les Strachan from 2YA on Sunday night.

I am one of the latter, and when, in "Sussex by. the Sea," I'll think of that admirable programme. ' dem a a

7 * N American inventor claims to have completed a scheme whereby entire families. can be kept warm. by radio. Probably hot. air. . N bd * e rey THEORY has been advanced by 2 correspondent as to the reason for the great increase in the number of ‘wireless licenses. He suggests that all the farmers and others .who believe that radio was the cause of the last heavy rainfall have bought wireless sets in the hope of working the oracle during the summer... . x =z * SAYS a Christchurch paper: "A salesman not over a hundred miles from Christchurch had occasion to collect a receiver, recently sold, to correct a slight fault. He told the customer that the electricity travelling through the set-made the dust rise, and it was only. necessary to give it a cleaning." I wonder if the Radio Institute would make that gentleman . an, associate or ‘member,
