Commander Points
To Possible Needs
In Current Year

Pointing out that a number Of
members of the Naval Communica-
tions Reserve are now serving on
active duty in the Regular Navy,
fulfilling mobilization assignments
in answer to the limited emergency
call of President Roosevelt, 1t. M.
Weinstock, commanding the local
Communications Reserve Division.
has called on his men to give every
possible bit of time during the cur
rent year in order to perfect their
training.
President Roosevelt" he said in
a memorandum to the members of
his command, declared a limited
emergency existing in the United
States. Subsequent events have
proved that our Navy had to be
expanded-and quickly-for the
maintenance of our neutrality. The
Naval Communications Reserve re-
sponded and many are now on
active duty, making good in their
mobilization assignments. The year
l94O may bring greater need of
officers and men. Your COM
mander knows that each member of
our organization jointed the N. C. R.
because Cd he is an American and
(2) because he wishes to serve his
country to the best of his ability.
You can demonstrate your patriot
ism by attending drill and partic-
lpating in over-the-air drills. The
new communication instructions will
necessltate a lot of indoctrination,
Make 1910 year of patriotic pre-
paredness,' that we can best defend
the high ideals for which this Ma
tion stands should that occasion
arise. Two hours on Thursday night
is all your country asks"
1t. Weinstock also pointed out
that under the latest regulations
issued by the Bureau of Navigation
communications Reserve men NAV
be promoted with less difficulty
than heretofore He said that if
professionally qualified, men who
have attended 81 drills during the
ensuing year and have had IA days
OF active training duty may be pro-
NOTED to the next higher grade,
Those who do not participate in an
active duty training period must
attend Al drills during the year be-
fore they are eligible for promotion.

proved by the Navy Department.
Officers of the battalion consider
this quite an achievement, partic-
ularly in view of the fact that Mr..
Perry's civilian occupation in the
Department of Agriculture has had
no relation to machinery or steam
engineering.
Mr.. Perry was born in the District.
but now lives in Bladensburg, Mo,
where he is captain of the Prince
Georges County Rescue SQUAD.
During the time that he has been in
the local battalion, having first en-
listed in April, 1923, he has made all
OF the annual training cruises
aboard various ships of the fleet. III
addition, he is one of the most active
members in promoting the battalion.
being active as chairman of the En-
tertainment and Dance Committee
OF the organization.
The practice of presenting dis
cusSlons on timely naval subjects
at the meetings of the District of
Columbia Chapter of the United
states Naval Reserve Officers As
soclation has met with general ap-
proval and has increased both the
membership and regular attend
ance at the sessions, 1t. Comdr. w,
B. Armstrong, president, reported
at the annual meeting at the Ham
ilton Hotel.
He reported that the values and
DEMENT'S to be derived from a ma
tlonal association and a strong and
representative chapter were re-
peatedly brought to the attention
OF the membership. He said that
the membership of the local chap
ter had increased during the year
from 81 to 124 members. Each
meeting, he said, has included a
program by which some matter of
professional naval interest was pre-
sented for advancing the knowledge
and efficiency of the membership.
This, he said, met with general
approval as was indicated by the
large attendance at the meetings.
The meetings, he continued, served
TO crystalize opinions regarding
several matters affecting the in
terests of the Naval Reserve, and
resulted in resolution to the ma
tlonal association expressing the
chapters views and desires with
respect thereto. He concluded by
saying that it is believed the bene-
fits thus derived during the year
are the product of these basic chap
ter policies, and the result of the
earnest and businesS-like efficiency
in the work of the officers and COM
mittees.
With additional Naval Reserve
enlisted men being called into ac-
tive service from time to time,
the Navy Department has issued
special instructions to Reserve
units as to the necessity of noting
on each mans record the articles
of uniform which he has drawn.
so that all necessary articles may
be issued to him to make a full
bag" when he reports for duty,
These instructions contemplate that
each man shall be equipped with
a certain number of specified items
OF uniform and bedding, including
issues made to him. 1t was re-
ported that the failure to comply
with instructions has been the
cause of unnecessary delay in OUT
fitting such men with necessary
uniforms and equipment.
