ECHO is short for Emer- gency Communications and Help Organization. A local group of some 80 members mainly from Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax who offer a volun- tary non-profit communica- tions service. For the last six years this group has been operating vol- untary road-patrols during the summer months from the May long week-end through the Thanksgiving week-end. From 15 to 20 vehicles, each containing two members and a mobile radio transmitt- er, patrol 'Highways No. 2 and 401 and the baseines between Hwy. Il15/3 5 aIll the way to Shepard Ave. . 1 These ECHO members will assist the police with acci- dents and direct traffic if necessary or radio in to their base station on Brock Street South, Whitby and înform the police of accidents. If you have broken down on the highway they will be along shortly to offer assis- tance or radio for help if required. Mrs. Helen Buck, treasurer of ECHO, says "so often we corne upon a car that's de. serted because the people have already started walking." Mrs. Buck says that if your car breaks down on any of these highways on a Sunday evening, or in the case of a long week-end, Monday evening between 6 p.m. and midnîght, stay with it because they will be along shortly. ECHO members wiIl id- entify thernselves and pass out a courtesy card teiling you a little bit about the or- ganization. Most of the high- way patrol members wear gold jackets bearing the name ECHO. The group is also quite active assisting with walk-a- thons, searches, and marshall- ing at parades. This non-profit organiza- tion is operated strictly by the members'own financing. When a member patrols the highways on a week-end -and burns Up $10 or $20 in gas he pays for this himself and is flot re-imbursed by,anyone else. The Whitby Free Press salutes the ECHO members for their humarnitarian con- tribution to the people and visitors to our area.
