80 Years Old, But Likes His Radio

To the Editor Sir,-I have for the last two or three years looked. forward to the "Radio Record" as a fine, np-to-the-date magazine. I spend a lot of my spare time reading through i{ again and again, and find what a pleasure it is to be able to read most excellent film stories and the different things that haye happened during the week in the radio world, The programmes are suitable, although I regret to say the "Japanese Houseboy"

episodes are’ too far toward the end of the. evening’s programme, when everybody is thinking of going to bed, and others in bed ‘thinking about going to sleep.’ . The BVA bands from the. studio. are very good, indeed but I always look forward every alternate week to see if they the playing at least one hymn. I am eagerly looking forward to the Woolston Brass Band again, .playing the hymn, "Deep iHarmony," which, when played, sounds just like an organ. It is my favourite tune, and I hope it won’t belong before I see it on their programme. -I am, ete., ‘s MONTY, THIS OCTOGHNARIAN: Taihape, ‘ fThe match on January 28 was arranged at short notice, and the programme from 1YA for the evening had already been «de cided upon. As the star items that night were performances by Frank Hutchenand Raymond Beatty, two visiting artists, it was not possible to rearrange the evening’s entertainment.-Ed.}
