As a result of a move made by the Farmers' Union in Dannevirke regarding radio-telephone broadcasting, for the use of farmers, the Dominion Executive has gone most exhaustively into the whole scheme and, as a result, a most complete and enlightening report on the feasibility of a scheme has been, submitted by the Telegraph Department (states the Dannevirke "News"). The report is in the hands of all provincial executives to consider. The main'object is to render the benefits i of the scheme aa widely available as j possible within thickly populated areas I and to scattered and at i the same time reduce to a minimum the 1 objectionable features which have marrj ed the success of radio-phone broad- ' casting in other countries. The local executive will consider the report at the noxt /neeting, and to further the project, Mr Shrimpton, chief engineer of the Telegraph Department, has promised to visit Dannevirke at a near date ' and explain the details of the scheme. I Smith, the leading English billiardist, claims that the touch gained as a | linotype operator has been much of a factor in his wonderful success. A ! leading writ 4* £>f authority on the quesj tion states that there may be something in the contention, ae the most expert linotypists have'a gentle gliding touch —just sufficient weight to allow the ' matrice to be released and glide down i its channel by gravity.
