VALUE OF WIRELESS.
FOR COUNTRY SETTLERS. ‘ITS USE IN HOSPITALS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION--COPYRIGHT Received noon to-day. SYDNEY, Dec. 16. The conference of the association for the development of wireless in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji decided to send a telegram to the Rt. Hon. S. M. Bruce requesting amendments to the Bill which has been introduced into the House of Representatives to enact the agreement between Amalgamated Wireless and the Federal Government. The president (Mr. George Taylor) said that the five-year period in which no royalties would he charged for use of patents for broadcasting should also cover television and other important radio improvements. The Bill should be amended to allow the interlinking of country centres. The Minister of Health, Dr. Arthur, said that radio was bringing the country dwellers into contact with all sorts of influences that they had been denied previously, and was making them more contented with their lot. Listening sets in hospitals had become therapeutic agents, diverting the patients’ minds from their troubles.
