PARLIAMENT ON THE AIR
J H. ENSOR, who appears on the cover of this issue, is one of the four * broadcasting officers who will sit in the broadcasting booth at the House of Representatives during the coming session of Parliament, which begins at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22. When Parliament is on the air the Parliamentary broadcasting officer has the task of balancing the microphones as different members stand up to speak, so that their words-come through "loud and clear’ to listeners. He is seated before a control panel equipped with switches and knobs controlling the 19 microphones inthe House. He also announces the names of Members as they begin to speak, and is assisted in this by a list of the probable speakers of the day which is supplied to him beforehand by the Parliamentary whips.
