Reversing the Order

4 Lost Child Requests . Broadcast HE way in which broadcasting has entered into the lives of the rising generation was exemplified recently at 8YA. Two small boys, one in a tearful state and much agitated in mind, came to the studio. The smaller boy was lost in the city, and did not know his way home. But he knew Aunt Pat, and he felt that if he could get to 3YA he would get help there. So, guided no doubt by towers, the two lads reached 8YA, at@ they endeavoured to explain the predicament in which the lost one was. On a suggestion being made that they should have asked the first policeman, the child tearfully exclaimed: "I don’t want a policeman, I want to be broadeast." However, the broadcasting service was not required to be requisitioned to advise anxious parents and request aid. When the child's name was ascertained, a ring on the telephone was sufficient. . 38YA has sent out many messages asking for information regarding lost children, but this is the first time a lost child has sought the aid of 3YA to find its parents.
