Early Sunday morning the squads
picked from each company to COM
plete their intensive training as part
of the SD division were ready. Fol
lowing breakfast they went around to
say goodbye to those remaining here.
About a half-hour before train time
they formed in line and marched to
the heads of the battalion streets
their blue denim barrack bags slung
rakishly over their shoulders. All
formed together on the main street
and marched to the trains to the
music of the depot brigade band
A few of the troopers sang, but the
great majority were silent Most all
hated to leave Camp Devens behind
for they had formed many cloge|
friendships in the brief period they
had been there. Others were reluc-
tant because Aver is close enough to
permit visits to Western Massachus-
etts homes, whereas Camp Gordon is
too far to allow them this privilege
and quite a few were saddened with
the thought that perhaps they had
seen their relatives and friends back
home for the last time.
The troops were given every COM
fort possible en- route. Every pre-
caution had been taken beforehand
by officers to safeguard their inter,
ests, even TO the extent of prohibit
ing publication of any announcement
that they would be sent, south. Late
this afternoon commanding officers
permitted newspaper Correspondents
to publish the fact the. detachments
had reached their objective safely
and without. a single accident. z9ai

eastern section of the town now oc-
cupied by Alfred Harbour. His en-
tire life was passed in the towE of
Bennington where he was actively
identified with the civic life of the
community. He had served the town
as selectman, had been its represen-
tative in the legislature and was the
town overseer for many years.
Mr. Houghton was democrat Of
the old school, a man who believed in
his party and who took an intense in
terest in its activities in the town.

Siderable natural ability as a speaker
and copld always be depended upon
to uphold the principles of Jefferson
and jackson at caucuses and politi-
