BELFRY BUT NO BELLS
From the tower of tlie new church of St. Saviour, at Ilford, near Bournemouth, the parishioners will soon be hearing peals of bells, although the belfry will be minus bells. The tower will be equipped with loudspeakers and an amplifying apparatus, which will be used to sound peals of bells recorded on gramophone records. The same equipment will be used to amplify the small reed organ in the church, eo that the tones of a full-pipe r.vgan can be produced at a strength moi-e than adequate for the needs of services. Loudspeakers are to be installed in th<> church for the purpose. The loudspeakers and the amplifying apparatus can be used to relay broadcasts of any special national services. It will also be possible for the bishop of the diocese, sitting in his palace at Winchester, to preach a sermon to St. Saviour's parishioners by means of a telephone line.
