- Colin_Scrimgeour abstract "The Reverend Colin Graham Scrimgeour, known as Uncle Scrim or Scrim (30 January 1903 – 16 January 1987) was a New Zealand Methodist Minister and broadcaster.Born in Wairoa, Hawkes Bay, he entered the Methodist Ministry in 1923 and concentrated on social work. He was Auckland Methodist City Missioner for six years. After broadcasting from Radio Station 1ZR - run by the firm of Lewis Eady - he established the Friendly Road Broadcasting Station 1ZB in 1933, associated with the Friendly Road church (Aunt Daisy broadcast on these stations, and they supported the Labour Party). Shortly before the 1935 election on Sunday 24 November, an address by Uncle Scrim which was expected to urge listeners to vote Labour was jammed by the Post Office. The minister in charge of the P&T Department, Adam Hamilton, was blamed, although he denied responsibility. As a close friend of Michael Joseph Savage and John A. Lee of the First Labour Government which came to power in 1935, Scrimgeour became Controller of the government-run National Commercial Broadcasting Service. Peter Fraser - an enemy of Scrimgeour - succeeded Savage as Prime Minister after the latter's death in 1940. In the 1943 elections, Scrimgeour stood against Fraser in Wellington Central as an Independent candidate. He performed so well that Fraser (hitherto expected to win his seat comfortably) "only sneaked back on a minority vote".Scrimgeour was suspended and then sacked in 1943. He moved to Australia, and worked in radio and television there, helping establish the Mercury Theatre with Peter Finch. He also worked for a time in (Communist) China before he retired to New Zealand in 1968.Colin Scrimgeour was awarded the 1937 Coronation Medal and the Chinese Star of Friendship (NZ Roll of Honour, p. 949). Mervyn Thompson wrote a 1976 songplay about the Depression, Songs to Uncle Scrim.".
