SOUNDS OF EMPIRE
The roar of the tiger in the Indian jungle, menacing thunder of the lion disturbed at midnight In the heart of Africa, how long will it be before the marvels of radio bring such thrills to New Zealanders sitting snugly in their own homes? Such speculation is not fantastic in view of the latest experiment of the British Broadcasting Corporation in giving a description of Capetown from 2000 ft. up on Table Mountain. The best brains of the 8.8. C. are busy with even more wonderful schemes for Empire service. They visualise a not distant time when by reciprocal programmes English, Australian and South African people may become familiar with sights and sounds of Canadian life; w-ith busy daytime hum of Toronto or Montreal, or with the glory of the sunset over the Rockies and majestio stillness of the illimitable prairies. The lonely New Zealand settler may before long be comparing notes with East End cockney in radio conversation for edification of the world. Meanwhile intense interest in the Empire service is shown by receipt at Broadcasting House of 3000 letters from every corner of the Empire.
