COMMUNITY SINGS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I thunk Mrs Mary M. Oliver for her enlightening information regarding the restrictions which she refers to. I was nob aware of the restrictions concerning the two songs which were banned from going over the air. Mrs Oliver states that before she had finished her first song the news came on—quite correct—and that it was no fault of anyone that she was cut off. I disagree with her entirely on this point. If the items were arranged to fit in between, say 12.30 and 1.15 p.m. no one would be cut off the air. It can be done, and I feel sure those responsible will make every endeavour to see that the full item or items are heard by all who are unable to get along. The sings are very enjoyable at times, but not some of the “ hooey ” and nonsense which is given in as discount. To-day’s sing was a pleasure to _ listen to and was thoroughly enjoyed. There was none of this so-called “ hqpey ” and it made a world of difference.—T am. etc.. Less Talk. October 3. [This correspondence is now closed. —Ed. E.S.]
