have to surrender the trophy Of SUI
premacy which 1t won last year to the
San Francisco. Calf. Reserve Com
munications Division. which won the
competition this year with a score Of
92.40. II the local organization desires
to capture the trophy permanently 1t
will have to start all over again this
year, for unit to get permanent pos
session must take 1t three consecutive
years.
Although the local organization
dropped to sixth place in the compe-
tition this year, the Navy Department
pointed out that the scores actually
represent the highest state Of efficiency
in the Communication Reserve net
work which has existed during any
year in which the competition has
been held.
The local division drove hard to win
the competition and another leg on
the trophy, but it appears that its
recruiting drive did not work out
we'll, and this is included in the hnal
marks, 1t was said.
The department reported l9 drills

formance were kept in detail and with
accuracy. Marks for the Western net

communication officer. 18th Naval Dis
trict. while those for the Eastern net
we're assigned by the Communication
Reserve iaison officer in charge Of

district communication officers.
The board invited attention to the
excellent state of efficiency OF the
twelfth. first and fourth naval dis
tricts. which stood first. second and
third. respectively.
These reserve units. it was pointed
out, are made up largely OF amateur
radio operators. who keep constant
watch on the air for emergency calls
and have done excellent work in all
parts Of the country during catas-
trophies which have either cut off
land wires or have so burdened them
that they could not take care OF the
trafic. The records at the department
are full Of the reports of valuable
service which has been rendered TO the
civil and military authorities during
periods Of serious troubles by these
trained naval communications reserve
groups. Many of the officers and men
who have worked long hours in these
emergencies have been publicly COM
mended by the naval authorities. in
cluding the Secretary Of the Navy.
