In the recent Popular Radio Item contest sponsored by this newspaper, 422 listeners specifically asked for pro- grammes before the tiffin hour. Only 134 listeners in- dicated that they were uninterested in this type of pro- gramme.

Several readers suggest that ZBW could obvinte the difficulty of Studio staff for morning programmes by letting them consist of relays from other short wave stations.

Many listeners, however, insist that early morning exercises should be given by ZBW, na in Manila and Shanghai.

Here are some of the opinions, culled from letters submitted by listeners who entered our competition:
