Some

of

the

praise for spreading the word

must fall upon the

shoulders

of Curtis B.

Lauret,

Jr., ALERT's public relations

di-

rector.

For

example, Curtis has forwarded

news,

periodic bulletins, and photographs to

our

desk practically since the day someone

decided to form a radio team

and

name

it

"ALERT."

One of the largest promotional

boosts be-

stowed upon the ALERT team appeared in

the Sunday Advocate

(a

Baton

Rouge news-

paper) in an

article titled "ALERT,

Ready

and Standing By. . . '. The ALERT

story

was spelled out to Louisiana

readers

in

minute detail. Multiple kudos go

to Sunday

Advocate

Editor

Charles H. Lindsay

for

(a)

recognizing and

reporting

the value

of

CB

radio in the hands of organized

users (b)

devoting

much space to making

the

group's

cause known

and (c)

presenting

the facts

correctly

-an

important ingredient

usually

overlooked

by the

few

news sheets across

the country which have used CB

radio

men-

tions

as

filler material

or with negative sub-

titles to draw readers.

In

a

letter recently

distributed by public

relations

director Lauret, he stated that

A motorist in need

gets communications aid from

an ALERT mobile

unit

and member

Darron Sanchez.

ALERT's

objectives

are: (1) to

promote

the furtherance of the

public

welfare

through

the

application

of two -way CB radio

com-

munications; (2) to aid and abet normal

communications media in time of local or

regional emergency,

disaster, or individual

need, all on a voluntary basis; and (3) to

promote general
