Little Courtesy Which Costs Nothing

To the Editor . Sir-I wish to give praise. where praise is due. There is a new announcer at 2YA on a Wednesday evening each, week lately. . Dvery night during the .week 2YA broadeasts their programme to either Palmerston or Masterton, but. when their portion of the programme is finished the announcer simply says: "That concludes our broadcast to such-and-such a place," and that is a finish. This new announcer is quite civilised, and it sounds so different when he finishes. He always says, ‘That concludes our programme to so-and-so," and then always wishes them "Good-night, so-and-so listeners." I¢ really does sound nicer, for surely they are entitled to a "Good-night" the same as anyone else, for we all pay the same amount for our license. I am sure there are thousands of listeners who have noticed this little act the same as myself. I think the announcer deserves to be congratulated on his politeness, for he has surely ‘set an example which other announcers should follow.. These other. listeners only get "Good night" once a week, but I guess they appreciate it.-I am, ete.:
