Tt was June, 1935, Bill W., the, New York broker: who paced the hotel lobby in Akron, Ohio, had once been pro nounced a hopeless alcoholic. + Yet six months before, he had apparently lost all desire to rink. Now, an important busi- ness deal had gone on the rocks, He was alone and acutely’ de- pressed—gripped again by the terrible obsession to blot. out past, present, and future witha drink. His own survival de- pended on: helping another drunk, He could not slay sober alone. But all his old drinking buddies, wary of lecture anc reform, had refused his help. Bill W. searched through the phone book for someone , who might put him in’ touch ” with another alcoholle, It was in . the desperate need to save himself from the one drink that” could lead ‘all the way to | insanity or death.

At first, A.A. maintained close contact with the Oxford groups, but the relationship ended in 1987. Since then, the “fellowship has been completely : independent of any other move-, * ment or organization. It works only for the recovery of other alcoholics.

As a member of the coast guard auxiliary in ‘Delta, he monitors his citizens’ band radio to save lives, But now, loud and clear over his living room CB set, he is tuned in to a bucketmouth, with a cranked-up $200 special, whose sole aim appears to be to - coax his girlfriend out of her , clothes. The conversation goes lke this (eat your heart out, C. W. McCall): “You. got your birthday auit on 10-4" “Negatory.”. “Gosh darn it, I though ya sais be in yer birthday suit," ‘I got my ‘jamas on.” “Well, that’s close. You're setae, down there.” (Laugh- ter). There was more. The con- versation; all of equally banal, had gone on for 15 minutes (10 minutes more than the legal limit). It was a good example, says Mather, of how people to whom CB radio is no more than a toy are taking over the . airwaves. CB radio is booming. in North America. In Vancouver alone there are 13,000 licensed operators—and applications for new licences are being made at a rate of 1,000 a month, Radio Shack, which claims about 50 per cent of the retail market in Canada, expects that its sales — this year will exceed 132,000 units, | Most will be bought by sensible, legitimate users (“A good operator is almost never on the air,” says Mather) but a small percentage of frivolous users—perhaps only five per . cent—is making things miser- able for everybody. They talk on channel 9, whichis supposed to be for emergencies only. They clutter up channel 23, supposedly reserved for municipalities, And they increase the power of their equipment—which is also illegal (and is the equivalent of shouting to make yourself heard)—so they can wipe other users off the. air. “They arg causing us feqiita” a headache,” says Larry Reid, Vapcouver, manager of Com- munications Canada, the agen-‘ cy responsible for licensing and . policing CB use. “The biggest problem with those who modify their equip- ment is that very often they don’t know what they're doing, ‘They don't do a good job, with the result that they put out spurious signals. which inter- fere with other services. “They can cause both TV and stereo interference—we've had many ineldences of opera- ‘tors getting: into the cable system, They get onto police, ambulance and taxi wave lengths—almost any type of communication services can be interfered ' with because of “spurious signals. ‘ “We have even had in- stances of these irrespdnaible people putting out fake distress calls. As far as I know, there haven't: been any accidents here, but the potential of danger to human life is there.", Last month, in Colorado, a death was blamed on misuse of CB radio. A’ retired Denver policeman had a heart attack. A woman trying to summon help over CB radio was intercepted and wiped off the air—a tech" nique known as “carrier-throw- ing.” She changed channels, ‘The ‘carrier-thrower followed her. “I told him: ‘My god, a man may be dying, please clear the channel so we can get help to him," she reported. “He gave mea Bronx cheer, but eventual- ly -he must have got the message because I didn't hear from him again.” In any event, it was too late. The cop died. Don Mather and others say the same thing could happen here. It is a situation of increasing concern to serious CB users, “Let's face it, B.C. is long overdue for disaster and when it happens CB is going to have to play a major role,” Mather. adds. “But the way it's going now DoC (Department of Com- munications) would have. to come on and lay the law down and say this band is for the express purpose of such-and- such a disaster—and the clowns will still get in the way, trying to play Joe Hero. “There are times when we would just like to say ‘I've had it’ Then you pick up a boat rescue and : ‘you're right back in, it again.” Mather, a B.C.

He would like to see thé regulations changed to make it more difficult” to get. a CB operating licence. “We think people should be required to get 4 licence before Unemployment Benefit Deadline _The Hon. Robert Andras, Minister of Manpower and Im- migration, issued a reminder last week to the large number, of workers between 65 and 70 years of age who have not applied for their unemployment. insurance retirement benefit. About 50,000 persons now eligible for the special 'three- week retirement benefit have failed to apply. The figure represents about two-thirds of the total number of ‘those eligible. After Aug. 15, 1976, this benefit will no longer be available to persons in this age group. “The Unemployment Tn- surance Commission wants to make sure that this particular age group is made aware of this special benefit before it ex- Pires,” Mr. Andras said. In order to qualify, one must have ‘worked and con- tributed to the unemployment insurance program for at least: 20 weeks in the past year from the date of application.

Where's the fun in being a CBer, if you can't do the good-buddy bit and | come on like a TV. trucker? Reid says the existing CB channels are approaching satur- ation point. Small businessmen; for’ whom’ the system was primarily intended, are already abandoning it as a means of cheap communication because of the overcrowding. The next step, which Cana- djan and U.S. governments are now considering, will probably be to increase the number of available channels, “The problem then will be where to find the channels,” he adds, “The radio spectrum has got so crowded,” CB club members, how- ever, blame DoC inefficiency for failing to get.the bucket- mouths off the air. “They should’ cancel ‘all their operations during the day and put their monitoring staff ‘on the night shift: That's when the trouble is. At the monient they only have one guy on at night,” a club member told me, He said CB abusers are often openly contemptuous’ of the regulations. Recently a man was carrier-throwing in. the Burnaby Mountain region, challenging other CB users to _..tty to find him, “DoOSsay(‘they have *to catch people like that Hterally with their finger on the key," he added, “Okay, it’s not easy, but there are CBers who have the equipment and could help track'them down if they were asked. Some of the worst offenders have base’ stations p(CB sets in their homes) they are not even mobile. “But they know that in the evenings and on weekends they can't he touched. They can tie OB channels and sit there and: laugh.” As frustrations mount a- mong legitimate, CB users, retailers (mostly of Japanese and American equipment) are also laughing—all the way to the bank. “The saturation point as. far as we're concerned is when ever car and boat in B.C." is fitted with CB radio,” says Herb Kikkert, manager of | Radio Shack on Granville Mall. “It's-a boomer right now, isn't it? It’s unreal.” In 1970 his company sold 200 units in Canada. Last year they sold 73,611 (the best-seller retails for $189). Kikkert says it costs about $20 for a ‘gypo technician’ to boost a CB radio unit from‘a standard four watts to up to 10 watts, which is enough power to over-ride most other operators. “That's. why they doit," he’. adds, “So they can over-ride everybody else. But people like ‘that eventually fade out of CB. They sre never biggp with what they've got and they soon get into something else." Kikkert says’ Radio Shack will not make modifications for CB buyers, but he knows of several places where it can be done. “Treally discourage people from doing it," he adds. “As soon as they do. it = their warranty is void and they can never come back to us.” Meanwhile, the CB. boom | ‘continues to gain momentum, although. the effective range.
