What They Do In England

|T’S a fact that the English Post Office operates an anti-interfer-ence radio service. It’s been in force over a year and includes about 300 engineers who cure the ills of home radio equipments. Radio users with’ problems only need to ask for the appropriate form at any post office, fill it up, drop it in the letter-box stamp free, and wait for the engineer to call. Within a day or two he arrives, tests wiring, aerial, earth, and the like, only stopping when the trouble is diagnosed. if it’s interference from a refrigerator or an electric motor, they’ll reason with the owner, suggesting he attach an eliminator. lf he should decline or get rude, the engineet will advise the set owner what apparatus he needs to cut out the offending noise. Service is 100 per cent. free. Now, how about

New Zealand?
