Rotary Conferences

World-wide Broadcasts HE proceedings of Rotary gatherings held simultaneously in New York, London, and Sydney were broadcast at midnight on April 22. At New York the proceedings took the form of a breakfast. At the same time, Rotarjans.in London attended a luncheon. and those in Sydney a supper. Microphones and loudspeakers allowed those pkesent at any one of the gatherings to he}r his colleagues at the others. The shortwave broadcast of the New York function was relayed through Holland to Java, thence to Sydney, and on to the Pacific Coast of America, where it was rebroadcast on longwave, through the national network of stations. New York was thus able to hear the proceedings after the signals had travelled around the world. New Zealand listeners were able to hear the broadcast from the various shortwave stations at midnight.
