"Give Us Something in Our Own Language"

To the Editor. . Sir-‘Bored’?? is Jike me, he thinks there should be more concert pro-.' srammes. Goodness knows there are enough good singers in New Zealand. without going to Russia or other foreign places to get them: Give ys plain music, something in our own language ‘anyway, that we can. understand... If you will turn back the. files of the "Radio Record" And look’ up the yote that was taken about the sort of

music that was wanted you will find crooning and: opera a, good last. The fools are those who are forcing a thing on to people that they do not: want. Take the programmes for Sunday, October 28. What do we find? A’ full hand of tinned stuff. Give us some more concerts like we had from 2YA last Thursday-some-thing with flesh and blood in it. I see there, ,is another. concert on Monday

night from 3¥-A, I will bet it- has : a full house, and the people: will show what sort of- concert. they. like.---I am, ete.,
