“A WONDERFUL AGE”
STATE GOVERNOR ON RADIO. ADDRESS TO BOY SCOUTS. SYDNEY, Jan. 8. “Just think that here I am at Sutton Forest, on a high hill 90 miles south of Sydney, and 30 miles from the sea coast, speaking into an ordinary telephone, and that my voice is being transmitted to the various Boy Scouts camps throughout New South Wales.” The State Governor (Sir . Dudley de Chair) agreed that the present was a wonderful age, when one reflected on the marvels of radio that permitted him to talk from his country home and he heard for hundreds —even thousands —of miles in all directions. As the Chief Scout, he delivered a special address that was carried by trunk line to Farmer’s studio, whence it was radiated for general reception. The Governor’s voice came through as clearly and sharply as from the studio directly on previous occasions. Sir Dudley de Chair reminded the scouts of the advantages and obligations of their membership, and remarked that the movement was an important link in the membership of the .British Empire. He also mentioned the “innumerable benefits of broadcasting, which already had become of the greatest use to the distant stations in New South Wales.”
