Germany Adopts Novel Means to Boost Her Radio Service

ON the day that the article appeared in last week's "Radio Record" dealing with Germany's bid for shortwave supremacy there arrived in the mail the following note from the; Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesell-echaft--Berlin’s Broadcasting House: , The German Shortwave Station thanks you for the collaboration it has received from you since its beam directional service was inaugurated. Such collaboration is always very welcome, not only for the help it affords in the further development of our service, but also because it has made, as. we believe, a personal bond of fellowship between our listeners and ourselves, from which we draw daily new suggestions and encouragement in our work. The little record which accompanies this letter is sent as a token of our wish to make this bond still closer and to give you an especial pleasure. Play it over on your gramophone to yourself and to your friends. You will hear our chime signal-"Ub’ immer Tren und Redlichkeit . .", the familiar voice of our announcer, and two folk songs sung by a boys’ choir. The record is meant to remind you that our programme awaits you every evening, and to bring you at the same time a greeting from Germany, The record-is approximately four inches in diameter and is recorded’ in German on one side and in English on the other. oe
