BROADCAST NOISES

Sir, —While recognising the immense benefit that " wireless has been to mankind in saving life and property on sea and land, it is safe to assert that the discomfort caused by radio fiends far outweighs the benefits derived from the discovery. I unfortunately have six radios surrounding my house —-two at the front, two at the hack and one on each side. These are mostly all going from 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., and very frequently three different items at one time are tuned in from three different countries;" with sometimes the addition of a human voice (if one can call it a voice) to help the artist out with his or her item. And I am convinced that mine is not an exceptional case, as witness the many letters you have been kind enough to -publish of late. Why such a state of affairs should be allowed to continue I cannot understand. One information to the police ought to be sufficient to lead to a visit of verification of complaint and steps being taken to end the nuisance. But no, I am toldlcan only take civil action, and everybody knows what a pleasant time it leads to going to law with j*our neighbour. 0 Tempoha.
