OPEN LETTER TO VALVE HOWLERS AT SPREYDON.

Gentlemen(?)—Last night, from. 8 p.m. till late in the evening, you spoilt my enjoyment of a good radio programme. Every night after 10 p.m. you stop me—and dozens of others — from hearing Australia in comfort. Your radio sets—like your mental make-up—are weak. You are in the same position as a man, just out of hospital, who endeavours to swim the harbour. It can’t be done.

Your conduct is selfish in the extreme. You can’t get anywhere satisfactorily—and you take pains that no one else does. There are a number of prize howlers within gunshot of the Show Ground gates. If you are one of these, mark this:

After about three weeks of work, I have obtained the addresses of eight prime howlers. If this howling does not cease or reasonably diminish within a week, these addresses and a formal complaint will be lodged with the Postmaster at Christchurch. This may result in certain sets being prohibited from use.— I am, etc., CROSLEY.
