FLIGHT OF TIME.
Sir,-Here is an example showing how radio makes the time fly for lonely listeners. ‘This morning I tuned in to 2YA and after a record had been played the announcer said "Time, almost twenty minutes past seven" end then repeated the words to make sure we should make no mistake about the time, I immediately switched in to 2ZB, which was beginning a record, and after that was finished and a short trade announcement was made, the voice said "It is just 24 minutes past eight." Since I passed my 65th year, time has passed very quickly, but if I listen too much to the radio I'll. be 100 before I can get my new suit of clothes.
