An Empire Broadcast
The "Roll of Drums" DANIEL WHEBSTER’S famous panegyric on the far-flung nature of our Empire, when he described how the British drum-roll followed the sun round the world, is recalled on reading a letter from a listener in California who picked up 2YA’s rebroadcast of 5SW "on Armistice Day. He states he heard clearly the singing, the roll of drums, and the bugle calls. That dvum roll went round the world, and not only over the: British Empire, in a manner that Daniel Webster never dreamed of. An ex-Feilding resident, now living at Powell River, ‘British Colurhbia. Canada, writes to report that he heard YA. He adds: "It sounded pretty good to hear your ‘station, as I lived in Feilding for five years before coming here." ee)
