Culture In The 1970»
Sir, —The two main features of the 1960 s as far as New Zealand is concerned are the brain drain and the cultural depression. Looking back over the 1960 s 1 find that the last decade has .been, for professional people involved in the arts, one of hostility, intolerance, frustration, and loss. With the Pan-Pacific Arts Festivals and the advent of the Town Hall, I, With the other members of the Civic Orchestra, are going to have the cheek to strive to reverse this appalling situation. Perhaps these are the first feeble impulses of a great cultural revival and a general upgrading of New Zealand society in the 1970s.—Yours, etc.. F. .1. WEBSTER. February 25, 1970.
