Radio Society’s Views on Record Broadcast. T a meeting of the Timaru Radio Club to-night, the question of the gramophone companies’ objection to the use of records for broadcasting was discussed. A point that seems to be overlooked by the objectors is the demand

that must be created for certain records, after they have been heard from the broadcasting stations. Many instances were related at the meeting of purchases being made after the records were heard over the air. Many thousands must be sold annually as a result of this form of publicity. It seems a very narrow view must be taken‘by the recording companies. The listeners, the R.B.C., and the B stations must be their. best customers--Timaru Radio Club, per W. A. McLachlan, assistant lion. secretary.
