where the members can pursue several different hobbies such as
radio operating, motor repair and maintenance, model airplane

the sets unless they had an amateur radio operators license or
were supervised by an adult who would assume full responsibility
for the operating. The name of the man in charge of the organiza-
tion was Ferenc Fojdl, who is an ex-Army radio technician. He
