Few Listen In Whangares?
Practically no increase in electric power consumption during the broadcasting of the -first Rugby test from South Africa was recorded at the Whangarei Borough Council’s sub-station. In the Auckland Electric-Power Board’s area, consumption rose by the comparatively small amount of 2200 kilowatts above average at' 1.30 a.m. As reception deteriorated, disappointed listeners switched off their radio sets and the load dropped by 1035 kilowatts. As the match drew near its end, however, the consumption rose to 1640 kilowatts, and many listeners heard the fate of the All Blacks before returning to bed.
