NEIGHBOURS' NOISY RADIOS
Sir. —Mankind unconsciously demands quietness at (lie end of the working day, whether she or lie be citizen, farmer or student. This demand is now forever forestalled by the neighbour's radio. Admittedly, most neighbours aro considerate to a greater or lesser degree, but it can bo fairly said in this case that such consideration is not enough. "Surely," you may ask, "a neighbour is entitled to his reception?" Ho is, but in this radio age, as in 110 other, he, lias torgotten his next-door acquaintances. Retaliation lies often in repaying to a greater degree, a maxim both unjust and unwise and also costly where the wouldbo rctaliator is not yet a radio owner. I see but two ways of escape from this menace to our peace and jangled nerves; either radio owners while twisting the dials consider their neighbours, or that first law- of true civilisation failing, the State decrees a maximum volume of radio reception sounds. Student.
