French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-06-27

Fiftv-nine Henderson county boys
were entrained for training camps on
Tuesday, ffty-seven of these OF these
nn+raining at Hendersonville and two
at other points.
There was not an incident to mar
the going of the boys. Every one
showed up with willingness TO serve
his country and It was not necessary
to call on the substitute.
The BOYS gathered at the city hah
me hour before train time and hearo
rousing farewell message from e. W..
Ewbank. followed by brief remarks
from Mayor G. E. Brooks, chairman OF
the local exemption board. The roll
call bv C.. N. Wrenshal proved the
presence of each boy called for ser
vice.
The boys were provided with COM
fort kits: furnished by the Womans
club and the National League for Wo-
mans Service. In addition to these
each boy was provided with sm1lage
hook To DIR. w. H. Justus credit is
due for selling these. The name of the
purchaser was on each book. These
hooks admit the boys to the entertain
ments at the camp.
The bows formed in fours and
marched to the depot in company WIN
the exenption board. There they found
an arrangement somewhat d1Herent
from that prevailing under previous
eGtrainments. 1t was what mayor
Brooks described to the boys as re
served seats" Heretofore the crOWds
we're 50 large that there was CONFUSION
at the moment of entrainment. On
Tuesday Chief Otis Powers had roped
OF q good portion of the space at the
depot and in this the boys gathered,
while they had the opportunity to sit
or stand and talk to their friends, the
arrangement being quite an improve
ment over previous ones. When the
time for entrainment came Chief Pow
ers without the slightest difficulty, and
with the best of order in the surging
crowd, led the way and the boys en-
trained and left amid the cheers OF
their friends.
Hugh J. Barber was made leader,
having been entrusted with the trans
portatiOn and records.
G. 7. Cobb entrained at Troy, n. Y,
and TiIlman A Prestwood at Wichita,
Aan., instead of at HendersOnVil1e on
Tuesday.
