The meet:ng wa* called to order by the president of the county organization, J. H. Turner of Hebron, followed by the reading and approval of last year's minutes. The discussion of work as done by the various companies thruout the county proved very interesting and consumed considerable time. M.

Losses for the year were very li^rht, totaling only $449.78. The Alden Mutual, represented at the meeting by J. H Turner of Hebron, reported a gain for the year of approximately $400,000. Total insurance in force during the year amounted to about $3,500,000. This company sustained quite heavy losses during the year, the total of which amounted to between $15,000 and $16,000. The secretary of this company, Mr. Dickerson, was unable to be present at the meeting because of his activity in rebuilding his barn which he lost about a month ago. F. C.

Buch, owfcer and operator of the local amateur radio transmitting station 9CEB, was given a very nice newspaper comment for services rendered on the night of Dec. 2. The story, as printed in a daily paper at Cambridge, Mass., has been handed to us for publication. It follows: "Tuesday evening Manager Paul David of the Harry Katz company, was in direct communication with Mr, Katz, who is in Chicago, 111. Ernest Hood, radio man of the Katz organization, engineered the affair. Hood sent out a call from his amateur station 1ALW, this city, and was picked up by station 9CAH, Chicago district. By telephone the house where Mr. Katz was stopping was reached and he was not at home. A* ten o'clock Hood again tried and su< ceeded. Station 9CEB at McHenry, suburb eighteen miles from Chicago picked it up and the operator there telephoned Katz and in return received an answer from him, which he transmitted to Hood in t)iis city. 'It only ; took an hour for the whole thing,' said Hood, 'and was in every way a sue -! cessful performance.' " Mr. Buch, on Monday morning of this week, received a letter from Mr. Hood, in which he commended the | local operator on the excellent service rendered and also inclosed the above newspaper clipping. So far as we are able to learn McHenry at this time bears the unlqvdistinction of having the only tw amateur transmitting stations in M< Henry county, the other being owned and operated by Cloice Wagner. At one time there were as high as five such stations in this county, but apparently all of the others are now inactive. • «• Mr. Buch waa the first McHenry •young man to install such a station and receive a government license for the operation of same. This was several years ago. Since that time he has enlarged and improved his outfit until it is now recognized as one of the best in this section of the state. He has been successful in making all points of the United States with the exception of California and he is hopeful of accomplishing this feat soon. Included among very recent communications was one with an amateur station at Vancouver, B. C., a distance of approximately 2,000 miles air line. He is experiencing very little trouble in getting stations all thru the eastern s*i( s* *nq uaaipnos pu« been unable to connect up with California stations. All of these amateur stations are now recorded by all railroads of the country so that they may be called on in cases of emergencies. ~M. E. CHURCH B. F.
