Due tomy having to make

“a sudden trip to Prince

George last weekend, I
cannot report on the many
happenings on Sunday but
will attempt to do so next
week,

Asa form of proof of how
small a world we live in:
when a conversation was
ending on channel 19 as [I
approached Burns Lake, I
made a contact with one of
the parties and found out
that he was the father of
some of the kids who used to
ride on a schoo! bus that I
drove there in 1959. I haven’t
heard or seen him since '59
and enjoyed the QSO. Give
him a call if you are up that
way. Easy Rider,
monitoring channel 11.

Chin wagged with the
mechanic at an Esso station
in Houston and found out
that he was the next door
neighbor to Bookie and
Bookworm. His handle is
Cannonball and ali of them
monitor channel 19.

The skip was running real
good in Prince George on
Sunday. Baton Rouge and
other Louisiana shooters
were “‘wall to wall’’. If you
think that channel 19 here
sometimes gets hectic, you
should hear it in Prince
George. They were also
having a general meeting
for ali CBers at one of the
schools on Sunday. Trying to
clean up their act I think.

any CBer knows, is com-.

Focus on the family

by Flora Stokes

“The most important
ideas any person has are the
ideas he has about himself.”
To be vital and effective, a
persons needs to feel “I like
what Lam.” IfI like myself,
I can like others. If I am
critica] of myself I am going
to be critical of the people
around me,

The crucial factor in what
happens both inside and
between people is the pic-
ture of individual worth the

rson carries around with

im. And that picture of
worth or self-esteem is built
in families, Think how often
we parents cut down kids by
criticizing, blaming, or-
dering, name calling,
yelling and slapping! We
condone this destructive
behaviour by saying that we
must teach our children to
behave. But courtesy,
consideration and

cooperation are learned

through example. A family
shouldn't be a battleground
but a place where children
grow to respect themselves
and others. ©

sible to hear stations
rom a few hundred to
several thousand miles
away.

Radio waves, like any
other -forms of elec-
tromagnetic radiation such
as light, can be reflected,
refracted and difracted.
When atmospheric. con-
ditions are right these radio
waves are reflected by the
ionosphere to a distant paint
on the earth’s surface. Low
frequency waves are more
readily bent than those of
high frequency, thus skip in
the CB band is not as
reliable as the skip ‘on the
lower frequencies in the
amateur bands.

The ionosphere becomes
electrically charged or
ionized. This enables the
radio waves to be reflected.
This ionization is believed to
be caused by ultraviolet
radiation from the sun,
generally related to sun spot
activity. During times of low
sun spot activity skip is
heard infrequently, if at all.
However, at the peak of the
sun spot cycle, skip can be
very heavy, sometimes
making it almost impossible
to talk locally. Sun spot
activity occurs in an eleven
year cycle, Currently we are
just coming out of the

ttom of the cycle. The
next peak should be around
1980. The sun completes its
rotational cycle every 28
days and when skip is
running itis often possible to

education, dropping out of
the mainstream of society
before they have a chance to
enter it, Eighty percent of
teenage mothers never
receive further education.
Sixty percent of all
adolescent mothers have a

‘second baby within two or

three years at a greater
health risk than the first.
Sixty percent of all
adolescent mothers are on
welfare within five years of
the birth of their first child.”

And what’ about the
babies? More and more
concern is being expressed
about the hazards of
“children raising children”.
There are no easy answers.

The March issue of the

. Caledonia Times has a little

article titled “‘Nobody cares
about fathers." And what it
says is true. women get lots
of advice, sympathy,
humour and counselling to
help them in their roles as
mothers. Not so for fathers

predict what area the skip
will run by keeping track of
where the skip was coming
from 28 or 29 days before. 1
have heard the same area
‘in’ every 29 days for as
much as four months in a

row,

The distance of the skip
‘ean vary due to the angle of
wave reflection, The
smaller the angle at which
the radio waves leave the
earth, the greater the
distance it travels before it
comes down. The distance
can also be affected by
which ° the
ionosphere
off of. This is why skip will
come from different
distances at different times.
Multi-hop skip means that
the radio wave may be
reflected off the ionosphere
more than once. This occurs
best over water or ice and
snow as they reflect the
radio waves better. Another
type of skip is known as
back scatter. Such skip
occurs when the waves
strike the earth at a distance
and some of it is reflected
back towards the receiver.
Back scatter is generally
weaker than direct skip and
sometimes has a peculiar
flutter to it. It is particularly
prevelant during ‘Northern
Lights’ activity.”

“So where does a man
learn to be a father today?
The old techniques just don’t
apply. Once upon a time, a
son worked by his father’s
side sharing the satisfac-
tions and the frustrations,
the successes’ and the
failures of the field, the barn
or the shop.

What model does a father
follow today? Some fathers
choose the army model,
demanding discipline and
obedience. Others choose to
be pals, playing street
hockey or swapping teenage
jokes, being just one of the

ys.

For every mother, there’s
a father. Fathers have roles
and responsibilities, just
like mothers. But how does a
father fulfill what’s ex-
pected of him? Fathers need

It’s time our society took
fatherhood seriously.
Service clubs, community

dinner was attended by 108

’ fathers, sons and special

guests, who included
Reverend Don Lewis,
Church Liaison Officer Jack
Jahour, Ted Gouth and
Provincial Field Executive
of the Boy Scouts of Canada,
Bill D'Herty.

Thank you badges were
resented to Mario Della

latter accepted by Jim
Haughton). Several skits
presented by the Cubs and

Scouts and a_ choral
presentation by their
leaders provided the en-
tertainment for the evening.

Sunday, March 13 saw the
First Terrace Cubs and
Scouts out again with their
fathers — this time to clean
the Overwaitea parking lot.
This project is another
attempt by the Cubs and
Scouts to raise funds for
