Excellent lectures are given périodi sally, yet on the whole they are podrlyMattended. Mr. Byron Brown ‘stressed the fact that some steps towards rejuvenation were contemplated, and these would be made public as soon as they were finalised. In the meantime, invitations were extended to all radio ! :teners to attend the annual general meeting to be held on May 14.in the Farmers’ Institute Building, Wellington.
