Prior to the 1st May, the Leafield wireless station was reserved for a short period daily for the transmission of urgent Press telegrams to India on behalf of certain newspapers and news agencies. This service, which occupied a time totally incommensurate with its value to the Post Office or the senders, has lately fallen into disuse and has accordingly been suspended.
