AUNT DAISY

RADIO INTERVI EWERSSTAGGERED, AMERICAN radio. jnterviewers got something of a shéck: ‘at New "-York’s ‘station WEAF when they began to question New. Zealand radio traveller "Aunt Daisy." The "New York Post" put it like this: "Wally Butterworth and Parks Johue / son are old hands at conducting inn promptu interviews here. and . there around our fair city for WEAF, but every once in a while fhey catch 2 problem child in their drag-net. "Last night, putting their regular Vox Pop programme through. its paces in the lobby of the New Yorker Hotel, they had:Aunt Daisy to deal with. That’s Aunt Daisy of New‘ Zealand, radio sensation of kangaroo land and one of the longest-winded ladies heard in these parts of late. She almost took _th whole programme away from Wally and Parks. How they ever got it back remains a mystery to us. : "All of which is. not intended as reproach, Aunt Dai helped out the _ proceedings considerably and -conld probably have showed the boys. some tricks if they had let’ her." ,
