TELECASTS OF TESTS
Farmers Want Time Changed (N Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. June 17. Dairy farmers do not like the N.Z.B.C.’s decision to screen the delayed telecast of the Springbok tests at 5.30 pm. on Sundays. They expect to be milking cows at that time and think the screening should be at 2 p.m.
The dairy section of Federated Farmers decided at its annual conference at Wellington today to recommend to the N.Z.B.C. that it change to 2 p.m. Mr G. Harford (Rotorua), moving the motion, said the Rugby Union had decided that he could not see the games on television as they were played. Now the N.Z.B.C. was making sure he could not see them at all. There was a rush to second the motion.
The acting secretary, Mr J. C. Adams, met a roar of disapproval when he confessed that he had been consulted by the corporation and had said he was sure that most farmers would arrange their milking Iso they would be finished by 5.30 p.m.
