Improving the Eyesight by Radio

Valuable Talks By Opticians-Repeating Amusing Radio Play-Sir Alexander Young At The Mike — Farewell To Their Excellencies Next Week.

UITE a number of people who realise that their eyes are not too good, intend visiting an optician, but -for yarious reasons keep putting it off; but eye-strain is something that should not be treated lightly. At the first sigus of this trouble a remedy should be sought to prevent future trouble. The series of four talks on "Your Eyesight." being given from 2YA by a representative of the Institute of Opticians of New Zealand, are, therefore, being listened to with more than passing interest by many who welcome this advice at home from a qualified optician. The first of these chatty talks in dialogue was given on February 19, and the next will be heard on Friday, Mareh 15, at 740 p.m.

N Christmas Eve listeners were delighted with the B.B.C. presentation of "Playing the Game" which came from 2YA, so its second performance from this station on March 11 will doubtless be popular. "Playing the Game" is a farcical extravaganza by L. du Garde Peach. The musical. score is by -George Barker, and the production by Charles Brewer. The B.B.C. Male Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Stanford Robinson, support a strong cast. This extravaganzn is a burlesyue on the English Soccer game, and is based on incidents in the football field, where the trainer’s daughter has rather a hectic time during the suspense of the game, wondering whether her hero, a new player, is really going to be a hero in everyone else’s eyes.

THE talk by Sir Alexander Young, Minister of Health, on "The We'!lington Children’s Camp Association" from 2YA on Saturday evening will be listened to with interest by all who are helping in this splendid cause. The Hon. Sir Alexander Young received the decoration of Knight Commander of the Victorian Order after the visit of the Duke of Gloucester. Sir Alexander, who was born in Auckland, passed the State examination 3) dentistry, and for 20 years before 1915 he was engaged in the practice of his profession at ‘Hamilton. He contested the Tauranga seat against Sir William Iferries in 1908. and was elected for the Waikato electorate in 1911. Since the formation of the Hamilton electorate in 1919 Sir Alexander Young has represented Hamilton in Partiament. He conducts a dairy farm at Mangawai, North Auckland, and is an honorary member of the Independebt Order of Oddfellows, Manchester Unity, and also of the American order. HOSE who cannot attend the Wellington Town Hall on the evening of Thursday,, March 14, will have. an opportunity of listening in. to the e¢ivic farewell’ to their Excellencies; the Governor-General, "Lord Bledisloe, and Lady’ Bledisloe, who sail the fo/lowing day for England. During :his term of office -in New Zealand, Lord Bledisloe has interested himself in ail departments of public life,-having given more than his time and valued words in so many cases. His gifts. to the public of this Dominion .- have been made without stint, and he has undoubtedly proved in this: direction the most public-spirited. Governor-General’. -we have had for many -a'year. os -> The number of © sporting trophies alone’ which commemorate his\.name ave sufficient .tribute to the popularity which he has enjoyed. Those who listened in tq the broadcast of the Dunedin and Christchurch farewells last week, will know what to expect at Wellington.on Thursday night. and it is certain that those who are taking part in the function only: by way of their receiving sets, will be as: heartily present in spirit as is possible. .for this will be’ one of the occasions. when formal public speeches to a departing public figure will be really sincere in their regret at New: Zealand’s — loss. Their Excellencies will leave by the New Zealand Shipping Company’s liner, Rangitiki, at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, March 15. They will board the ship at 9.45 a.m. ,
