TWENTY SIGN
ENLISTMENT FOR
U. 5. AIR SERVICE
Business Men Lead Move
ment In Giving Soldier
Boys a Treat Here

The Air Service recruiting de-
tachment of the U. S. A. which has
been touring the New England States
arriving here late Thursday after
noon, left this morning at $50 fol
Barre, vt. The original plan was to
start at 500 but the signing of the
nav roll held them up for half an
hour.
Lieut.. Col. Carmody said last night
at the dance which was given the sol
diers, that St. Johnsbury was one of
the best towns he had been i'll for
enlistmcnts. He said that one man
had driven in ten miles from the farm
to sign up for aviation. In all there
are twenty men who have taken out
papers for enlistment in this branch
of the service since the detachment
has been here.
A special officer is to be sent here
for two days in the near future to
receive enlistments.
The parade last night of the motor
trucks, trailers and band was viewed
by thousands of people. The street
about the band stand was damned
with automobiles and the Court
House Park was overlooking with
pedestrians to hear the band concert
and to see the recruiting detachment S
exhibit.
After the concert free public
dance was held at the Armoly and
the floor was crowded with dancers.
The music was furnished by Hills or
chestra supplemented by a trombone
of the Air Service band. The dance
was made possible by the energies of
two of our business men who went
among their fellow tradesmen and
raised sufficient money to guarantee
a good time to the officers and men of
the detachment.
These men were c. M. Berry of the
Berry-Ball Co., and C. E. Peck of
the Peck Co.
Dancing continued until about half
past twelve and then some of the
townspeople threw open their homes
to the boys till a much later hour. All
the members of the recruiting organ
ization stated that they had enjoyed
their visit to this town to the utmost,
and that the courtesy and hospitality
of the citizens hcre WAS most ctrik
ing.
