Unique S.O.S.

HE Mayor of Christchurch (the Rev. J. K. Archer) had an interesting little experience of the capabilities of radio. He had completed his speech at the opening of the Radio Olympia, and had left the concert room, going out by way of the adjoining hall where the exhibition stalls are situated, and where the demonstrating of sets was in progress. Here he was overtaken by a call broadcast from the stage in the concert room. The announcer, Mr. J. Ball, noticing that the Mayor had left his glasses behind him when he left the platform, at once sent a message to Mr. Archer, which message was relayed to 3YA, and reached the ears of the Mayor through the medium of a loud speaker before he was able to leave the exhibition building. Mr. Archer recovered his glasses.
