            CALLING FOR HELP!

   November 3rd may well be considered

an historic date in the relm of emergence

communications. It was on this date in 1908

when an international conference adipted

the mores code signal "S O S" as the world's

official distress call! A lot of people believe

the call was first used when the Titanic struck

the iceberg in 1912. But that isn't the case. The

first official recorded use of the S O S call came

on June 10th of 1909 when RMS Salvonia wrecked

in the Azores.  There were more than 400 people on

board and all were saved. These days, of course, a

cell phone call to 911 cam summon help immediately

from almost anywhere. But S O S remains a standard

signal if distress. It's easy to make out in code and

reads the same even upside down when spelled out

with rocks or wood for a stranded hunker or hiker

anywhere in the world. It's always good to know how

to call for help f you need it, where ever you may be! \

Hope you don't need help right now and that all your

NEWS is good!
