Radio for Orphanages

eee *- Contributions Received N a recent issue we published a let- . ter from Cousin George suggesting that the excellent lead of Dunedin in providing radio for orphanages in that city should be followed by Wellington. In some of: the orphanages in this city, the children have not the privilege of enjoying radio, and the suggestion was advanced that listeners in general who appreciated wireless should contribute such small sums as they. felt inclined in order to equip the few remaining\. orphanages in this city with radio. Th cost of the necessary equipment, wit amplifying attachments, would be approximately £15. _ We commended this object, as enunciated by Cousin George, and contributed the sum of two guineas to the fund, and announced that we would ‘be prepared to ‘receive subscriptions from interested readers. So far, two contributions of 10s.°each have come to hand, and. these are acknowledged. We feel sure that this object will commend itself to a greater number of listeners. We would especially like to see at least £15 secured to equip one orphanage with radio, so that the children there could enjoy the music that ~" goes on the air, more particularly in view of the approach of the Christmas season. ° Donations Received.
