The commandant Of the Coast
Guard has sent e letter to the chief
of naval operations, commencing the
Naval Communication Reserve for lis
work during the recent food emer-
gency in the Ohio and Mississippi
Valleys.
The chief of naval operations in
commenting on this service said he
believed the emergency communica-
ton service rendered by the Naval
Communication Reserve has demon-
strated its great value during a peace
time emergency. Still more important,
he added it has demonstrated that
reserve radio operators trained in the
use Of naval procedure, naval cir
cult discipline and with a knowledge
of the naval communication system
will be of greatest value to the service
upon mobilization in time of war. 1t
is apparent, he continued, the results
obtained during the recent food have
fully justified the time effort and
limited funds so far spent on this
organization.
