Football Broadcasts

Desirable or Undesirable --_ (THE feeling that the question of football broadcasts was to be discussed brought out about forty enthusiasts to the last meeting of the Amateur Radio Society: of Wellington. The question was opened by a motion from a vice-president rescinding the motion passed at the last meeting recommending that the broadcast of football of local interest only be ceased: What promised to be a lively discussion commenced, but the president ruled that discussion on this score was out ef order, and that notice of motion only could be given at that meeting. The discussion proper on the question of whether the motion should be rescinded or not must be withheld till the next general meeting. _ It was explained by a member of the committee that in conjunction with the "Radio Record," the Amateur Radio Society was intending to hold certain competitions in connection with the forthcoming radio exhibition. The meeting was asked to endorse or refute the action of the committee in expressing their willingness to co-operate. A Xesolution was then moved, and seconded, by members of the society: "That this meeting confirms the movement of the executive in agreeing to eo-operate with ‘Radio Record’ with respect to competition for the exhibition." ‘ There was no correspondence, and before introducing the speaker of the evening, it was asked whether there Were any complaints. There were none, and it was added by several present that both transmission and programmes of late had been good. The speaker for the evening was Mr. Firth, of Kirkcaldie and Stains, Ltd., who took as his subject, "The Majestic Receiving Set." The synopsis of his lecture appears elsewhere. irnasnysicavustgniaiinguppasiainennemensuidainstememssesmmssmrmnnnenememere samen
