To-night an appeal is made to the public to interest the selves in the work of the Society, at present hampered by a. limited membership and possessing piti- fully few facilities for carrying on even occasional broadcasting,

More members are wanted, pre- ferrably those who desire to see broadcasting properly born and de- yeloped in Hongkong. Some of us have rosy dreams of the future. Picture Hongkong with a broad- casting slation transmitting daily concerts provided by local talent, and appreciated to the full by en- thusiastic listeners here like those at Home and elsewhere.

One wonders whether the beauties, of Hongkong will over ba described from the air and passed on to radio listeners below. It would not be a new iden in broad- casting.

Should broadcasting develop as it is hoped it will, it is too much to suppose that the Society could continue to be entirely responsible. Perhaps the public may have in- quired, "Why have we no broad- casting station here," and left the question thero unanswered.
