Companies Il and G held no regular
elections as most of their members are
from Honesdale and Montrose. For the
accommodation of those members of
both companies who are citizens of
Scranton, they were allowed to vote
with II, which accounts for the large
number of ballots cast in that COM
pany.

using their spare moments while in
the service, to good advantage is evil

students of the Scranton International
Correspondence schools, and have been
making rapid progress in spite of the
many distractions, and the exacting
duties of camp life. Those who con-

courses of study which they pursue
are: First Sergeant George Downey,

Thomas Parry of II, mining and
geometry; Corporal Anthony Mayer, Of
