FIRST WELCOME.
RADIO MESSAGE TO LADY BLEDISLOE.
8y Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, March 17.
The enterprising course of extending the first welcome to Lady Bledisloe, on behalf of the women of New Zealand associated with the Women’s Institutes, was taken to-night oy Miss Agnes M. Stops, when speaking from 2YA on the subject of Women’s Institutes. Explaining that Lady Bledisloe was keenly interested in the Women's Institute, which has done so much, not only in Great Britain, but in forty other countries in the world, Miss Stops said Lady Bledisloe would be little more than 200 miles away. Speaking to the microphone, Miss Stops said: “Lady Bledisloe, I hope you are able to hear me. On behalf of Miss Jerome Spencer, chief organiser of the Women’s Institute in New Zealand, and of members of the Institute throughout the Dominion, we have most intense pleasure to use modern means of radio to extend to you the first definite greeting from the countrywomen of New Zealand, and to express the hope that you will have a happy sojourn amongst us.”
