White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1922-05-07

the news regarding the next presi-
dental election will be received on
election night at the same time that
1t Is being received at the headquar-
ters OF the great political parties Not
only that, but no doubt the night be-
fore the election the respective can
didates will deliver their final mes
sages and this will be received by the
world at large at the same time
The matter OF broadcasting the
news appears TO be by far more
difficult problem to solve than that
OF receiving. At the present time
the various broadcasting stations are
permitted to operate only at given
times.
While the installation of receiving
stations is open to all who desire to
avail themselves of the great oppor-
tunity, In order to broadcast II is
necessary to obtain permission from
the duly constituted government an
thorities.
The reason for this is quite plain,
because IL all were allowed to broad
cast at will the receiver trying to
gather material from the air would
get nothing more than a conglom-
crate mass
This opens the question of bread
casting in different localities. The
question is asked, why could not
news of general interest be sent out
from the Ely theater il receivers
were installed at the various ranches
throughout the county The answer
Is that news and other features could
be distributed II permission so to do
could be obtained.
| Then the question arises, why could
not station be established at the
county courthouse. for example, and
from there messages and the liko
sent all over the county.
This in all probability could be ar
ranged II the necessary steps were
Immediately taken 10 obtain the per-
mission.
Perhaps the greatest field of op-
portunity ever presented to the
young men of the country is the
radio. The government officials have
announced that small receiving sets
may be constructed by a boy during
his spare hours at home, at a cost
not 10 exceed s15. Such sets, of
course, would have but a smaf1 range
and under the present conditions
would not be OF value In outlying
districts, because of the fact that
they would be too far removed from
any large broadcasting station TO
catch what was being broadcasted
1t is we'll worthy of consideration.

a small receiver OF his own will know

hours be entertained with high-class

tire family may listen to a lecture
along lines OF education. Before re-
tiring the children may hear stories
especially told to interest them. The
radio means the news of all the
world, all over the world the instant
1t happens. and this. to say the least,
