Advisory Board Election Result

THE new N.Z. DX Club Advisory Board, which will take office on July 1, will consist of Messrs. C. A. Cox, L. W. Mathie, A. J. Maule and R. A. Roycroft. These were the members elected by the ballot which was conducted last month and, when a president has been elected, they will be allotted H.Q. numbers. Three of the four board members have served in this capacity before -the new member being Mr. A. J. Maule, who takes the place of a retiring member, Mr. J. P. Cowlishaw. While we are very pleased to see Mr. Maule being rewarded for his many years of service to the club, we are sorry to be losing the benefit of the experience of Mr. Cowlishaw, who has held office on the Advisory Board since its inception. His not being nonunated was due to an oversight on the part of the Manawatu branch officials. We take this opportunity of wishing the new board the best of luck in the coming year, and thanking the retiring member for his unswerving loyalty and helpful advice during his terms of office. This year the voting showed a big increase, mainly due to the publishing of a voting coupon in seyeral issues of the "Radio Record" and partly to the increased mem-

bership. Early in the voting, ef course, it was "‘anyone’s fight," but as the closing date approached it became a contest between Cox and Mathie for most votes, Roycroft was well placed, and Hutchings and Maule fought out a duel for the vacant position on the -board. Maule, however, rapidly widened his margin of votes and so he will hold office on the Advisory Board for the first time. Our congratulations to Mr. Maule, and also to Mr. Hutchings. who, while not successful this time. polled a considerable number of votes, considering that he is a comparatively new member and that his chief opponent (Mr. Maule) is probably very much better known to club members. Altogether, 524 votes were polled, 12 of which were from nonmembers, and 12 of which had more than one name crossed out. The uumbers of votes received by the nominees is given below :-- C.
