BROADCASTING
SERVICE GUILD'S VIEWS
A meeting of the Women's Service Guild was held in Wellington recently, and the president, Mrs. C. Henderson, presided over a full attendance. Members with a knowledge of educational matters found themselves in accord with some of the' programmes broadcast over the ■ radio to 'the younger people today. They were cognisant of the difficulties confronting the broadcasting authorities, and while agreeing that a good deal of variation was desirable, and this was catered to, good music, well-chosen talks, and play-reading were also essential. Far too much time, however, was given to the poorer types of entertainment, and records should be carefully chosen in order that children be led to "appreciate the value of good music and have a clearer perception of artistic quality.
Broadcasting hours have been reduced already in order to conserve power, but members felt that. a further saving of power could be'effected by the closing of stations at earlier hours. Some broadcasting stations, for instance, were still on the air until midnight, when their usefulness to the public generally was doubtful. A further reduction in hours would be the means of people retiring earlier, and in the aggregate electric power might thus be saved. "',''.-■
