"PLEASE allow me," writes a farmer, "to thank you for broadcasting information regarding 62 sheep which; by mistake, had been left in the sale yards at Milton on the evening of Wednesday, the 20th. I, along with all other wireless listeners-in around the district, received your message, and was able to make arrangements to have the sheep shifted to a good paddock #that night. I am positive had we not received your message there would have been several deaths before the next morning, and a serious loss to me, as the night was bitterly cold and wet. The drover had missed them on Tuesday afternoon, so that they had been in the pen one day and night before your message came through. I now realise what a boon wireless and an effective broadcasting station is to country people."
