Forestry Commission
Now Using FM Radio
The South Carolina State For
estry commission has installed a
number of two-way FM (fre
quency modulation) radio units
in lookout towers in the lower
part of the state and is proceed
ing with plans to make this type
of communication available in
the future in every county, to
facilitate the dispatching of fire
fighting personnel and equip
ment to forest fires. This an
nouncement was made by Ray
mond M. Littlejohn, Radio Engi
neer for the Forestry commis
sion.
The equipment is of the fre
quency modulation type and is
operating in the lower portion of
the 30-40 megacycle band. Each
county ranger will have a two-
way 30-watt mobile unit on his
truck and will be able to radio
the dispatching tower from any
part of his county. Richland and
Lexington counties have been
using radio since July 1946, and
it has proven very effective in
forest fire control.
Radio, when used in conjunc
tion with the present telephone
facilities, will bring about a
more efficient fire fighting or
ganization and thus greatly re
duce the annual forest fire loss
in South Carolina.

A DREAM
Alchemy, the science of trans

100,000,000 volt X-ray machine,
called the Betatron, may trans

April 6 to 12 Set
For Army Week
Atlanta, Ga., March 20.—“A
strong America is a peaceful
America” has been selected as
the national theme for this
Year’s observance of Army
Week, April 6 to 12, Lieut. Gen.
Oscar W. Griswold, commanding
general of the Third Army an
nounced today.
In no case, Gen. Griswold em
phasized, will Army Day or
Army Week be “celebrated”.
The purpose of the observance,
he states, is to “honor American
soldiers living and dead, who
did so much to make peace pos
sible; to inform the public of the
new peacetime pattern of nation
al security which is being devel
oped and of Army assignments
at home and abroad.”
In all activities in the Third
Army Area—Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Tennes
see—it is planned to acquaint
the citizens with relationship be
tween an adequate Army and
national security and the role of
the entire \rmy, which includes
the National Guard, Organized
Reserve Corps and the Officer’s
Training corps. These form the
national security establishment
for the maintenance of peace
which has been won at so great
a price, the general said.
April 6, traditionally observed
as Army Day, is Easter Sunday.
Therefore, Monday, April 7 has
been designated as Army Day.
Churches throughout the seven
southeastern states have been
invited to include prayers for
the Army in the services on Ap
ril sixth.
Many Army posts and installa
tions will hold “open house” at
some time during the week and
in numerous cases Army troops
will join veterans’ organizations,
patriotic societies and youth
units in colorful parades. Civic
bodies in numerous cities and
towns have expressed their in
tentions to hold luncheon and
banquet observances.
