NOISY RADIO SETS

Sir. —1 am glad to note that you hsue suggested an anti-noise campaign. Any one who is not a half barbarian knows that such a thing is long overdue m Auckland and suburbs. The noises whicn are generally stressed in the newspapers as causing a nuisance are those arising from the misuse of motor vehicles. That is certainly a starting point, but I would suggest that an equally, if not a greater, nuisance is caused bv the misuse of the radio. In the district where 1 live it is impossible to net any respite from the shrill and jangling sounds of it. All day long and the greater part of the night—we are listening to shrieking females trying trt take top " C's " and would-be Carusos trilling their " O bole Mio s. It verv often happens that two or three of the infernal machines are going at the same time, i.e., one at each side of my house and one across the road, l have onlv to state that fact and your imagination will do the rest. Surely, if such noises are allowed to persist we are going to be classed.as semibarbarians, apart from the toll that is being taken of our nerves.
