The coming of spring always

months suddenly answers: the
call of nature and begins’ its

everlasting re-creation... The

His information on growing
spring flowers in the house is’
invaluable - and ‘through his
hints my living room is: once

mass of Daffodil, Tulip and
Crocus blossoms. If you’ve
never tried growing — these
spting flowers indoors, you
should, it’s — easy, though
requiring a little patience, and
the end result is worthit.

The growing of ones own
vegetables ia always a
rewarding pastime also, for in
spite of the year round supply

offered .in Safeways, (there’s.

that word again). there is
nothing so tasty and satisfying
ats eating that first red radish,

But of course the eternal
beauty of spring is that feeling

‘Friar Tuck’ and ‘Little Choo-

‘Choo’ are responsible for the

introduction of an additional
service for the C.B. fraternity

‘as well as truckers and others

who may be involved. It’s
known as the ‘Sidney Four way
Mashers’ and will be this areas

link in an already nation wide

project. Although — these
Knights of the road with their
C.B.s have already helped out
on numerous occasions in the
event. of emergencies, the
‘Four way flashers’ . will -be
offering continous in-
formation between ‘the hours
of 06.30 in the morning till
midnight, Monday through
Friday.

It’s strictly a volunteer effort
on the part of the clubs many
members -who are — devoting
their time and in some cases.a
lot of -their own’ money to
provide it. It will be monitored
on channel 01 and before some
of you start hollering about
one more channel being used
for emergencies let me hasten
to inform you that will not be
SO, : .

The ‘Four way flashers’ are
hot attempting to use the
channel. strictly for their own
purpose nor do they. expect
anyone to not use, or move off
this channel, but if you should
happen to be on that channel

-and a ‘Four way flasher’ asks -

for a break, please do them the
courtsey of giving it to them

They will not hog it, but:
only use it to let vou know that |

their times of departure and
arrivals, which. will) be in-
valuable to. the tourists we
hope to get if ‘They’ don’t put
up the fares again. Emergency
information or urgent
messages will be. relayed

service provided by
R.E.A.C.T. (Radio emergency
and communication team) on

doubt help to lighten its load
