Reference was made at a niceiing ot Hit' Mlanawatu-OYoua Rower Board to the- fact that power lines were interfering with radio reception. Tile hoard has been free from complaints of this nature, the engineer,- Mr. IV. A. Waters said, but without proper equipment- it was extremely difficult to trace the trouble. Hue such complaint, had been found and regiicdicd. hut another had not yet been traced. A portable superheterodyne set operated from a loop could he pul in a oar and carried along the line and j the point of origin traced fairly easily. He had received a quota!ion- of £52, for such a, set complete, lie said, the instrument being Iho Same as (hat, used by the Rost and Telegraph Department inspectors. and he recommended the hoard to purchase one so ns to be in a position to he able to >-ope with future complaints. The board decided to art on Hie engineer's recommendations.

"There is a popular misconception that radio set owners arc allowed a police! of trial before a license need iie obtained." said Mr. \V. March. a radio inspector, in Ihe Magistrate''' Couil in Wellington. "This is. incorrect. and is not in strict confornnU with tin* ,\rf. A license should he oh ('lined livst. or, at any rate, before the set is used. Tin* only exception to this 'nth? is (Jut a dealer may demonstrate an expensive valve set at the residence of a prospective purchaser for a period of one week. After that the prospective buyer is responsible tor a Keen so. |\\hetdier nr not lie intends to keep 1 the set. In the ease of renewals, malty 'people- allow several weeks to go by hefoii! inking action. It. should lie clearly umlei stood that a license should lie renewed on or before the date of expiry nf the current one. Therefore, listeners should take heed and renew their licenses promptly, tor if they do not a visit from the inspector may make the license ari expensive one when it cinnos to adding a tine and costs to the usual foe."
