A GOOD STORY
This happened at one of the Sunday
evening services. The elerical gentleman had ended his Bermon with "Good-bye, I hope we shall all meet again, In Heaven.". Then he turned to the announcer and said: "I don't think I was too long?" Unfortunately, there was a slight bitch in switching off the microphone current, and listeners were surprised to hear this as tonishing sentence from the parson: "I hope we shall all meet in Heaven -I don't think (**

lished several volumes of verse, and his collection poems appeared in 1926.
Last year he published "Etched in Moonlight." Some of hia short lyrics, chiefly dealing with Nature, are included in various anthologies.
B.B.C. Statement
"We do not ban sad poetry from the readings," he said. "We make the selections in the same way as one would choose an anthology of an auther's work. Nevertheless, there has not been a single com-
plaint of the poems inducing depression. If they had that effect generally we should soon hear about it, especially when one considera the number of hospital patients among our listeners."
Mr. Bernard Shaw holds the opposite view. "I wonder there are not. more suicides," he said. "At the same time it is so very easy to turn off the loud speaker that I think I should prefer that courec. Personally I can stand Stephens' poetry quite well.”
Mr. Drinkwater's Views Mr. John Drinkwater expressed the opinion' that the broadcasting of poetry was a very good thing.
"I do not agree with broadcasting miserable poatry," he said, "but I do not believe in miserable poetry in any way. Of course, there is tragic poetry, and that should not be excluded from broadcasting. Tragic poetry braces people; It does not make them miserable.
The president of the Sublaco Radio Society (Mr. W. Rodda) thanked the Governnor for his at- tendance. His Excellency then examined the exhibita, and, using a pair of headphones, listened in from a crystal set.
The exhibition, which was spread over the upper and lower halls, was organised by the secretary of the Subiaco Radia Society (Mr. B. Congdon), who confined the repro-") duction of wireless broadcasting and electric gramophones to the up- per hall, thus enabling the exhibits to be studied without distraction.
A Set in a Teapot Visitors were interested in nove! sets. One set, which received 6WF on. 104.5 metres, was housed in a bottle; another, which received 6WF on 1,250 metres, was built in a teapot; a third was constructed in the form of a cottage with chimney, aerial, and fence complete, while a fourth set was in the form of an afternoon tea. tray.
