the first bombs fell on Brussels that
fateful morning in May. 1910, they
created a tremendous problem for
our small staff in Belgium. The
immediate question was what we
might do to help the people suf-

suffering simply from the awful

Radio Club To GiUe
Morse Code Course

The Bluffton Amateur Radio club
is planning to conduct a course of
instruction in the Continental Morse
Code. The purpose of the course is
to teach any person who wishes to
learn how to send and receive the
code. The lessons will follow a plan
of instruction devised by the Amer
lean Radio Relay League, Inc, of
West Hartford, Conn. Members of
the club will be on hand to conduct
the course.
No previous experience is necess-
airy for persons interested in learn
ing the code. The course starts
with the assumption that the student
knows little or nothing about the
code, and each successive lesson in
PRODUCES few characters at time.
Young men expecting to enter the
military services in the near future
should find the course of particular
value because it might better fit
them for radio specialization in the
services, which are greatly in need
of radio communication experts
Those interested in taking this
course notify any member of the
Radio Club, or mail a card or letter
to F. S. Herr, secretary, Bluffton
Radio Club. Instruction is sched-
uled to begin in the near future
There will be no charge for the in
struction.
Those who complete the course OF
instruction will receive certificates in
dicating their ability in code tech
nique. Issuance of these certificates
will be under the supervision of Dor
Ream, president of the local club
and N. C. Herr, activity manager.
