ES poh apes the only spe- has to help his fellow man is a two-way radio, which can put him in instant communication with the police, fire department or any one of hundreds of other general radio service operators within a 30-mile range. Mr. Renshaw has been presi- dent of Ontario County General Radio Service Association for two of its four years. The club started in November, 1963, when it adopted the motto, "In Service of the Community--24 Hours a Day." To fulfill this motto Mr; Renshaw and the club are will- ing to use their two-way radios to assist any organization in running boat races, picnics or anything which requires' long distance communication. At Christmas they helped in tak- ing senior citizens for a tour of Oshawa's lights even though the service hardly called for the use of two-way. radios, HIGHWAY PATROL As an example of the club's i \desire to help people in trouble they run a highway patrol on all weekends along the Mac- y be- fween Sheph@rd Avenue and Highway 115. They use about five base sta- tions equally spaced along the route using the common chan- nel 16 frequency and another two stations on the courtesy Channel 11. Channel 16 is used for the normal instructions and calls for assistance --be- tween the base stations and the ¢ |mobile units--which have num- bered as high as 18 on busy weekends. Channel 11 is used to yive road conditions and hints for avoiding blockages to drivers jhe are just passing through. This weekend Mr, Renshaw jexpects to have at least one |mobile unit between © every cloverleaf in the patrol area-- and the patrols are on a strict- ly volunteer' bases, The 'club members pay -for their own gas and 'wear on their car for the 100 to: 200 miles they drive: on the patrol, Mr. Renshaw said the club's role in the patrols is basically, "to. try and keep the sides of the roads clear.

MAJOR PROBLEMS The major problems are flat tires and. broken fan belts. Empty gas tanks are also com- mon and there are a few cases where major repairs are need- ed and a tow truck must be called.
