The Bureau of Navigation reports
that its records indicate that many Of
ficers have not yet availed themselves of
the. opportunity to receive courtesy
cards. These cards are issued in the
hope that they will encourage officers of
the Naval Reserve to visit ships and
stations of the Regular Navy and there
by promote closer association between
officers of the Naval Reserve and the
Regular Navy Such visits, the bureau
states, also will affard Reserve officers
opportunities for broadening their pro-
fessional knowledge.
