SUNSHINE AND SMILES

RADIO FOR WELLINGTON

HOSPITAL.

Lord Knutsford, chairman of the London Hospital, says that radio has been the means of bringing a lot of sunshine and smiles into that institution. "You cannot imagine," he says, "what pleasure it gives our patients. In the past, they had to rely entirely on their reading or occasional visitors to while away the tedious hours of an illness. Through the medium of radio, they are now able to enjoy a few of the pleasures of the healthy man in the street. There is no better cure for illness than music and entertainment, and I consider Wireless from thiß point of view the finest of them all."

In the London Hospital, there are six hundred sets of headphones, and they are all employed every time there is broadCasting being done, so ketn are the patients to ''listen-in." ■

Funds are still urgently heeded in order to install radio in Wellintgon Hospital. Donations should be gent to the general secretary, G.P.O. Box 303, Wellington"; or may be left at the office of this newspaper.
