SUN TO INSTALL WIRELESS SERVICE

The Vancouver Sun is completing arrangements for the installation of a free wireless and radiophone service for the people of British Columbia.  Prompted by a desire to render the best newspaper service to the public that science permits and radio activities having progressed to that state where every home can now be equipped with an efficient wireless set at a nominal cost.  The Sun has taken the opportunity of being the first paper in Canada to introduce this advanced method of news distribution.  While the general details of the policy that will guide the operation of the service has all been completed, it is the intention of the management to release a daily news bulletin and entertainment programme. 

     Residents on Vancouver Island, the Prince Rupert district and every remote corner of the interior will by this means be brought into instantaneous and close communication with Vancouver.  The foremost features in the trend of events throughout the world will in this manner be relayed throughout the province hours ahead of The Sun itself, the present medium of latest information.  These bulletins will be supplemented by a more detailed account in the following issue of The Sun.
 
     The daily concert to be effected by the use of radiophone will extend a continuous source of entertainment to families in outlying districts that now forego these pleasures. Members of households engaged in the development of British Columbia resources will from time to time be permitte3d to sit by the family hearth and listen to recitals by the many artists of renown that visit Vancouver from time to time.  Addresses by distinguished visitors will be whisked to the four corners of the province concurrent with their delivery before the Vancouver audience.  Sermons by the leading pastors of this city will in turn be extended to the thickly and sparsely populated centres alike. 

     The benefits that may accrue from such a service is beyond the realm of human conception.  Vast stretches of arable land that are now lying dormant might easily be converted into regions of production by extension of social privileges to settlers.  Thousands of energetic beings who are today on the verge of going back to the land, but who hesitate when faced with the bogey of loneliness, will find a solution to that particular problem in the radio service to be extended through the Vancouver Sun.  The system which The Sun intends to instal in conjunction with the Trans-Canada Press Service will be the most complete set of its kind in the province.  It is being acquired at a heavy financial outlay, but with a guarantee of maximum efficiency.

 Watch the Vancouver Sun for further announcements of the initiation of this the most revolutionary and progressive move ever attempted in the annals of Canadian journalism.
