AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING.
That Australia is abreast of the world in wireless broadcast- ing is the opinion of Mr. Frank Albert, F.R.G.S., a director of the Australian Broadcasting Co., who reached Fremantle recently from London on the liner Orontes. Mr. Albert visited the big broadcast- ing stations in New York, Lon- don, and Berlin. He said that he was prepared to learn that Australia was behind the times, but he was pleased to discover that, considering the talent offer ing and the money available, broadcasting in Australia was of an excellent standard, Technically there might be something to learn, but the Australian stations gave more air hours than any other in the world,

The treasurer, Mr. R. L. Mon- crieff, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, presented a very encourag- ing report at the committee meet- Mr. R. E. ing held last week. Earl was in the chair. Mr. Moncrieff said that the end of the Society's first financial quarter was certainly far from dis- appointing, They had in hand about $91, in cash, together with Calves' Head & Fock.. a certain amount of gear, bar fur- Mutton Chop niture and stock which had not yet been included in the accounts. The paid-up membership was 57, quite a gratifying number and to Pig's Chitings these a special appeal was made| to stand by the society until some- thing definite could be shown to the public!
The secretary, Mr. D, W. Mortlock, stated that the actual number of members on the books was 116. It was hoped that un- paid subscriptions would roll in during the last few days of this month and a solid financial mem- bership be created.
The new members had been ad- mitted and a general increase in intereat in the work of the society was reported.
