PREVENTION OF 'FLOODING.

DYKE REPAIR DEPOTS.

SCHEME. FOR KWANGTUNG.

The Kwangtung Confervancy Board is evidently alarmed at the prospect of further flooding and has drawn up a scheme for a mum her of depois where materials will be stored for the repair of small leakages in the dyker which if not taken in time lead to widespread damage.

The Canton Gazette states that the Commissioner for Civil Affairs in Kwangtung has wired to all district magietrates to direct the local gentries to patrol and inspeet the dykes, and to make proper arrangements to meet the foods. He also asks the Board to make plans to meet the emergency.

Supply Depot Necessary.

The dykes are in bad condition, except in the few places where they have been repaired by the Board, and it will be necessary to establish emergency statione, where materials are stored such as piles, rice bags, planks, ropes, etc., ready for the prompe repair of a threatened dyke.

are

The farmers themselves generally quite willing to repair a dyke when there is danger, but the lack of materials often prevents them from stopping a wash-out.

Management Of Depot,

In various places, depous, where necessary iepair materials can be stored, should be established. Each depot will be handed over to a local Dyke Committee, and will be responsible for a fixed length of dyke, and the materials must not be used for any other purpoee than for dyke repairs.

Moblie Depot Also Required.. Besides these depots, each river is to have a flouting emergency depot including a junk loaded with repair materials. The junk should be towed by a fast launch and im- mediately proceed to the place where danger is expected. The expenses for the floating depots are dificult to calculate, but $10,000 for the whole flood season will prob- ably suffice, providing no rent is paid for the towboats.

In order to establish these de- pots, stationary as well as floating, 888,000 will be needed.

There seems to be no reason why a really successful station should not be run here with Government support, and it is hoped that local radio societies will assist as much as possibue. Lectures, educational items, religious services, and con certs must have the same appeal here as they do at Home, and the lighter part of the programme will sent no difficulties during the

Speaking of broad- Mr. King mentioned that really casting programmes in general wonderful operas can be heard now from Russia.

When the station here is really functioning the distance between Hong Kong and Europe will be very sensibly lessened. No longer shall we feel exiles if we can hear our favourite preacher on Sundays and the musicians, actors and lec- turers who are entertaining those at Home.

Mr. King believes that broadcast- ing has a great future in the East and that in a comparatively abort time both a news and an entertain- ment service will be an accepted thing between all countries.

"The Station will use the call sign G.O.W. and will transmit on a wave length of 300 metres.
