LISTENERS ASK THAT

The story is told of a young woman who asked a nuember of the Broadcasting Board to use his influence to have the whole series of Japanese houseboy records broadcast on the one night, and to have the introductory and finishing passages of music on each episode completely eliminated. Now there is the* story of two unknown readers of these notes who have asked the writer to use his influence in divers ways. One requests that more of the Japanese houseboy records should be procured for local broadcasting—this before oven an indication has been given that the present series is about to terminate. The other readed.asks the writer to devise some means of checking the supply of Japanese houseboy episodes. Now the questions arise as to how the board member is going to answer his fair correspondent, and how the present writer should _ reply to two young men who are evidently tinder the impression that his influence in broadcasting is unbounded. It is perfectly obvious that, even if the power were ‘possessed by the writer, it would bo impossible to comply with both requests. These lines are written in the feeble hone that the broadcasting authorities might see a way out of the lifficulty. * Frankly, the only remedy that appears to “ Henry ” is that the first man should listen to the Japanese houseboy records until their stock is exhausted, and that the second man should turn to another station on the nights when the houseboy is due to appear.
