Tahiti Broadcasting

From Our Own Correspondent

Papeete, Sept. 4.

FOR some months a society of Tahiti residents has been operating a broad casting station for the purpose of trans mitting news, market quotations, and music to listeners on the many islands in French Oceania. In August they installed a new and more powerful apparatus. It is believed that broadcasts from Papeete can now be heard in Australia and other distant places.

The society intends to broadcast pro grammes of Tahitian music sung by local choruses and other characteristic items.
