Jackson About a year ago 14 year-old Mike Milosevic read a book about radios, then he began tinkering with a radio of his own. Today he is one of the youngest ham radio operators in the province. Since the first radio, which Mike confesses didn't work too well, Mike has studied and passed 'a Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications test, has a licence and communicates regularly with such places as Dorval, Quebec and West Virginia. I say communicates because you won't find Mike hunched over a microphone spouting such colorful phases as "Zebra Red 7 to Lion Blue 5", not yet at least. Right now uses an old standard — Morse Bode. And he we knows howf to , 11S,e it. Ton bass the Minisfky teat he had lq" get hik sending and receiving speed up to 10 words d minute and while that might not sound fast, only one word every six seconds, when you consider the sometimes com- plicated system ofdots and dashes he has to use, it. turns out in a different light. For example a simple "Hello How . Are You" translates into ...., ., . .d, ..., . .... . . Not so easy eh? Mike has received aid and abettance from his father, Boris, and his high school electronics teacher . Rod Wraith. He also commented that several local ham enthusiasts in Wingham and area have given him a hand. At the present time Mike can only communicate with such "local" points as the ones mentioned because he only has 40 and 80 meter antennae. However he has managed to eavesdrop on Australia once or. twice. A new antenna is , somewhere in the immediate future though. He also has his sights aimed at a more direct voice communication set- up and plans to write his ministry test for that during the summer. Mike already has a downstairs area of the basement in his home set up as a radio centre filled with maps designating code areas and lined with cards from other operators he has contacted, but the future will probably bring countless more additions. By the way if you're a ham operator reading this article why don't you give Mike a call at VE3 HGV? It's a lot more fun than phoning and I'm sure Mike or his father would be more than happy to have a chat with you. This WAT CEJ signing off. Now, For Your Reading Pleasure...

Salvation Army project "last chance for men" The Howick Lions held their annual installation dinner meeting last week, and it was a special affair since it WO the Lions a chance to say farewell to a member who has been with them for the past six years, Rev. G. W. Sach, United Church minister of Gorrie. Presentations were made to both Rev. Sach and his wife, The couple are now retiring from the ministry and plan to make their home in Strathroy. The 'meeting also saw the in- stallation of officers for the coming year including new presi- dent, Peter Keil and three . vice- presidents, , Wayne Evers, Jim Boyd, and Wilbert Freeman. Guest speaker at the dinner was Jack Cameron of Wingham, a Salvation Army captain'. I e spoke on the Salvation Army pro- ject in Toronto called the House of Concord. It began as a .boys' home for those who needed ;'a second chance at life. Today more than 180 boys and ` 18 girls receive help there and trr to go "straight".��' �/ } Ik" ..�"h Mr. ' Camel Aide . layout of the home as being made ,up of three houses. The first is the novice wing which has only the bare essentials. The next is the junior wing with improved furnishings and some re- creational facilities. Finally there is the senior house with complete recreational facilities including a gym and swimming pool and separate rooms for each boy. The houses are divided so that boys can work themselves from one house to another on ac- cumulation of "merit points". The girls have their own separate house. The House of Concord's most recent additions are an artificial ice surface with a seating cap- acity for 300 and a school that includes another modern gymna- sium and swimming pool. The school is still under construction and is being financed by a man who is suffering from a terminal illness and wants to leave some- thing of himself to help others. The House also has a hockey team playing in one of Toronto's. hockey leagues'.° A medical centre has also been built on the house grounds and it supports a large staff of doctors, including psychiatrists and psychologists. Mr. Cameron said people being helped at the house come from every kind of background from poor to rich. However he said a common denominator among them is drugs. He stressed that he included alcohol among drugs. "Talking about drugs is more dramatic but alcohol is the biggest problem among young people today," he said. "1973 American statistics showed over a quarter of heroin addicts began as regular drinkers. They moved from this drug to grass and then speed before coming to heroin, always trying to get a high they can't find in life," he added. He said that this was what the house tried to do, give its boys and girls 'a direction and new s POMO/44—) Mr. and Mrs. Don Dirstein, Richard and Carolyn Ann, returned to their home in Ajax Thursday of last week after visiting in Wingham, Hanover and Sauble Beach. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Gaunt spent a few days with them at .their cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Norrish and Miss Katherine McPhedron all of Campbellville visited on Monday with Mrs. Melville Bradburn. All called on Mrs. Carrie Sewers": perspective so that they "can get a high out of life." Mr. Cameron recalled that once, while visiting the house, he came across a beautiful young girl. "She told me she was almost 14 and she was a heroin addict. I asked if she had come volun- tarilly to the house and she an- swered a judge had sent her. She said the judge had made no boneS about it. The only kind of programs that help addicts are spiritual ones. I asked if she agreed and she_ showed me her arms, smiled and said she had not 'shot up' in four months and now she had no desire to, what she had gained at the house made the desire fade." Failure i? as prevalent as success Mr. Cameron warned. In one case "three • boys left the house before the law said they should. They 'escaped' and in a short time all of them died of narcotic overdose. For many the house Is their last chance at life.

He summed it up by saying the House of Concord is an important project because it does give a second chance even when:statisitics show heartbreak and failure will be overwhelming when compared to success. "But helping one out of 10 is better than to give the 11 no chance at all," he said.
