Jimmy Dicus
Gets Califirnia
On Radio Set

Jimmy Dicus, local member OF
the Amateur Radio Relay Lea
cue. made contact with another
radio operator in Los Angeles
California Monday night when
he made his first attempt at
sending messages over his lOO
watt transmitting set.
Dicus was pleased this week
at having made such long range
contact in his initial attempt at
broadcasting. However, he did
talk with the California ham"
the name universally applied to
amateur radio operators, and the
operator there is sending him a
card to verify the claim.
Dicus amateur station, VAIN,
was licensed by the the F. Z. Z.
in 1910 but he just recently com
pleted the set. He bought a sur
plus sending set from the Army:
one that had been used on an
aircraft.
"You can say that if anyone
wants to send message to any
one else anywhere, that 1 can
send it for them" Dicus said.
Zone of the promises made by
operators upon getting a license
is that when called upon to do
so and where there is genuine
need for same, operators will re-
lay messages to any place in the
country for no charge.

having more than a million men,
lion members, hold II per cent
of Protestantism's strength. Nine
ty-f1ve per cent are in 81 denomi-
nations, each having more than
200, 900 members.
Fastest growing denomination is
