Communications amateur radio operators turn your sets to frequency. . . All CBs in the React Group tune in on Channel 10. This was the message broadcasted over Station KVNU as well as two other radio stations at 8:05 a.m. Saturday, January 29, initiating an emergency communications exercise. All Telephones were considerhence the ed amateur radio operators and CBs. They were assigned by Ned Gines, Cache County Civil Defense Representative, directly from his office in Logan to contact nine mayors and the React Group. The amateur operat-tor- s were to contact the hospital, Mountain Fuel, Telephone Company, Electric Company and The Red Cross. They were instructed to assess the needs of the community. All were contacted except for Trenton and Newton by the CBs as communications could not get through directly from the Civil Defense office in Logan. However, they knew contact could have been established if someone was personally sent to make the contact. Also, a flood of calls were received from citizens who heard the broadcast but minds were put at ease when explained that it was an exercise only. Within 45 minutes, the entire Cache Valley was contacted and check-back- s completed. Thus, the exer cise ended. It was beautiful!" reported Mr. Gines. when asked if he felt the drill was success- ful. It is a comfort to know that if we had an emergency, the radio people would stay in contact until the emergency was over or the telephone's in working order again, but that we could get by without phones." This also became a nationwide exercise. After the Dispatcher notified all he was to notify in the valley, the was then reflected in contacts made to Salt Lake Commission and on to the National Level. The amateurs are to be commended for their effectiveness and thoroughness in this exercise. chain-reactio- n Nets Dance-A-Tho- n State Record 1977 Healer's Hands Also Build venture the lollowing year.

Then came two years in the United States military service, one year in Vietnam with the First Infantry Division and one year at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, Tex. It was while the Hirsts were living in Texas that they built their furniture. Taking advantage of the opportunity to use the Army base workshop and tools their furniture was contruct-c- d for $450. The Mexican style was copied. Only a few commercially manufactured items have since been acquired for their use. What influenced the desire to build things? Dr. Hirst had taken woodcraft classes in high school where he developed his talent. He has no workshop and only a few tools of his own at present but plans to acquire them eventually. Mrs. Hirst shares her husband's interests and worked right along with him in building and finishing their furniture. She is a four-plu- s cook according to her husband. Taking classes in gourmet cooking at Utah State University is one of her pursuits. A member of the Lewiston Lions Club, Dr. Hirst is the medical advisor for the new Northern Utah Chapter of the Diabetes Association. Dr. Hirst's aim for the future is to become energy sufficient for their own needs. He would like to install a turbine on the river which runs through their property to generate energy for their own use. Wydoski To WalkfA-ThoaJ- n Attend Forum Dance-A-Tho- n View High Gymnasium.
