A Radio Presentation.

Suggestion Made for United Action. — ¥ THE following announcement was made from all stations on Saturday evening :- "A proposal is on foot in Christchurch, where the aeroplane Southern Cross landed after flying the Tasman Sea, to raise a fund for the purpose of making a presentation to the aviators. The occasion is an historical one, and everyone will agree that the men who will in years to come be looked upon as the pioneers of a regular air service between New Zealand and Australia, are worthy of some recognition in the form of a presentation, subscribed for by the people of New Zealand. It is because the Broadcasting Company feels that radio enthusiasts throughout the Dominion have an especial interest in the flight that the proposal is now being brought before your attention, and the suggestion is made that radio listeners throughout New Zealand should have the opportunity of subscribing to a presentation’ to the four, airmen. As all listeners throughout New Zealand know, radio broadeasting played a great part in eonnection with the flight. By its means the people of New Zealand were made to feel that they were actively sharing in an adventure which has linked Australia and New Zealand closer together than ever, and this feeling has been added to by the fact that one of the airmen is a New Zealander. Any listener who wishes to take part in the presentation is invited to communicate with the general manager of the Broadcasting Company, Christchurch."
