S. Army Mention “ham\to people and some will think of food, others theatrical folk but the major ity will think of the amateur radio operator. He is that fellow down the block with the big antenna sprouting from the roof of his garage who talks in strange terms. He goes around telling about staying up all night “DX- ing” (contacting distant stat ions); having a devil of a time getting a QRA (name of a stat ion) from some fellow in Nome, Alaska or Zealand or Afgani- stan or, you name it. The ham has a hobby that literally gird les the globe. It is a useful hobby too. A great many of these hams are involved in the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services set up by the Federal Communica tions Commission to assure or derly radio communications in the event of an emergency. During the disastrous earth quake in Alaska in 1964, for example it was the ham radio operators who maintained con tact with the outside world. For decades the US Army has recognized the value of ama teur radio as training for future skilled technicians. Conversely, many young men got their start in amateur radio through the training they rceived in the Army. Many others have used the radio training provid ed by the Army to get jobs in civilian industry as skilled tech nicians. The training covers a broad range of specific skill as well as general skills. A young man could be trained as a radio op erator radioteletypewriter oper ator, special identification oper ator communications security specialist, Morse interceptor or teletypewriter interceptor. A radio operator for instance, would learn both voice and code transmissions using the phone tic alphabet and International Morse Code respectively. H e would learn to tune and make frequency adjustments on field radio equipment and to com pute length, construct, site and orient and erect antennas. The field is wide open and the training is second to none. Sergeant E. L. Wood, the local Army recruiter at the Selective Service Board, has the com plete story about training oppor tunities in the radio Career and many other fascinating fields. See him today and join a proud and dedicated group of radio amateurs. It’s your future, your decision, Choose Army. TRADE SCHOOLS SET SUMMER QUARTER Registration for the summer quarter of the S. C.

Club members went to Col umbia on May 13 for a guided tour through the Mansion and inspection of the grounds. They also visited the historic Boyl- ston House across the street, and the adjoining Memorial Garden of the Garden Club of South Carolina. Since 1879, the handsome white-stuccoed home on the shaded grounds of 800 Richland Street has served as an offi cial residence for South Caro lina governors. Originally built in 1856, to serve as officers’ quarters for a military school, the structure survived flames which destroyed other buildings during the burning of Columbia by troops of General Sherman. Currently the home of Gov. and Mrs. Robert E. McNair and their four c hildren, the Mansion presents a blend of gracious livability and stately elegance. The club members were in terested particularly in the paintings, furniture and acces sories which have been given to the Mansion, or are on temp orary loan. Included in these was the impressive and magni ficent 66-piece silver service of the Battleship of South Caro lina, displayed in the state din ing room. In the Mansion gardens, mag nolias, roses and pansies were in bloom. Across the street, the Boyl- ston House is currently occup ied by the South Carolina Tri- Centennial Commission. Restor ation of the house is now un derway. The club concluded its Tues day program with lunch at the Capstone House of the Univer sity of South Carolina, where the revolving restaurant affords a panoramic view of the city of Columbia.
