Marlin Jones, Pottawatomie County 4-H Electric Champion, enjoys his 2-way radio when talking with friends and has also proven it a practical help around the farm.

Marlin assembled his radio from a kit. He has also made a walkie talkie to work with the radio when communicat- ing around the farmstead and from the field. He often talks with two friends, one 4 miles away and the other 10, who is on a different phone line. This makes the radio even more useful. He finds the walkie talkie handy to take to the barn while milking and has used it for calling Mrs. Jones in the house to ask for assistance with work around the farmstead.

Marlin tells how he directed a radio equipped stranger, lost in the area, who heard he and a friend talking by radio. By asking the stranger to describe the area in which he was located, they directed him to a main road and on his way.

He plans to attend college this fall. He is interested in engineering and is considering electrical. Some of his other projects include clock radio, made from a kit, and a bed light. The light was adapted from one Marlin has talked as far as 30 miles on his 2-way radio. in the 4-H Electric Project material. His brother, Byron, helps him demonstrate the two-way communication.
