FOR STATE GUARD

Officers OF the National Guard Of
Delaware, now that the line compan-
les Of the organization for this city
have been completely organized, are
turning their attention to the open
ing of the rifle range below New
Castle.
Major David NJ. Salter, inspector
Of rifle practice OF the guard, has
had a force of workmen repairing
Nhe course and erecting targets dur
ing the past month. II is Major
Salter's desire to start practice by
the first of May, although il weather
is favorable, there Is a probability
that he will start il earlier.
The range is 225 acres in extent,
and contains all the ranges neces-
sary for the shooting of the regular
army course with the exception of
500 yards. There is also a pistol
range for the men who are so armed.
Major Salter is planning a num-
ber Of individual and team matches
for the coming year. Tho teams
will vary from five TO twenty men.
according to the size of the unit, COM
pany, battalion or regiment Prizes
will be offered the teams, as well as
an individuals prize for the soldier

IN thinking over the proposition
to consolidate all the local Legion
posts into one some think It would
not be the best for all concerned.
or course, the opponents grant that
the attendance would be better but
in the course of time all the old petty
strife might arise and the little war
fare would be on again. These op-
ponents further say all would have
been better If only one post had been
organized, or rather two, one for the
white vet and one for the colored
vet.
This was the case in the beginning
but difference of opinion and dissen-
ton soon caused the forming of five
white posts here. two of which have
gone by the board already.

What Legion Men Are Doing


Nothing definite has been done
about the proposed baseball league,
although 1t seems to be finding favor
in most places. Let's get started in
week or so and see II we can't do
something worth while.
Fox Post. No. 2, of Dover, will
have an Easter ball on March 2S.
Each OF the posts in this county
ought to form a county committee
similar to those formed I'm some of
the larger towns. each post to have
three or more members. as decided
upon. They could meet monthly and
report what had been done and what
action they contemplated on future
questions. This would bring a bet
ter feeling for one another and all
would not be working in different
directions. Philadelphia county has
such a committee and it has -.crked
quite a change for the Legion -here.
The following bulletin is repro
duced for the benefit of all who may
be concerned:
1T has come to the attention OF
the American Legion that ex-service
men who are holding civil service
positions are being Disseminated
against and in some cases have been
discharged by department heads. For
the information OF the ex-service
man the following is the law on this
subject:
THAT in the event of reductions
being made in the force in any OF
the executive departments, no hon
orably discharged soldier or sailor
whose record in said department is
rated good, shall be discharged, or
dropped or reduced in rank or sal
airy.
ANY person knowingly violating
the provisions OF this section shall
be summarily removed from office,
and may also. upon conviction
thereof, be punished by a fine of not
more than $1,000, or by imprison-
ment of not more than one year"
(S7 Stat, 413 Act OF Aug. 23, 1919,
Sec. ~
Ex-service men who have been
discharged from government service
nave valid action against the per-
son guilty of discharging them, and
the ex-service men should stand
upon their rights where reductions
in Office personnel are being made
and insist that they be given prefer
ence and that no discrimination be
shown against them.

The Legion recently turned down

clause left out.

names and addresses OF all ex-service

Chancellor Charles M. Curtis. pres

Scout Executive Greenhawk. attend
ed a meeting of the Third Regional
Executive Committee and Scout Ex-
ecutives' Conference in Washington.
ID. C., last Friday and Saturday. One
OF the important discussions was re-
lating to the service which can be
rendered the u. S. Air Service by
the Scouts. Saturday afternoon the
party was taken on a flight over
the Capital city. More about the
airways and the scouts part in same
later.
The committee on arrangements
for the spring field meet is revis-
ing the program of entries and will
present same within a few days.
There win be very few changes in
the old program and practice may
continue along those lines.
The Harris Engine Company. from
whom the Council purchased the
engine for our camp boat. is making
a knock-down type boat. The ex-
ecutive was called in to look it over
and offer suggestions. This is a
fine boat and the Educational De-
partment of National Headquarters
in establishing the American Scout
plan in France, have expressed a
desire for information leading to the
use Of such boats for French
Scouting. Any scout can assemble
them.
Our little migrating birds are com
ing back for the spring and sum
mer. Now is the time to build and
arect that house for them. Second
class scouts would do well to begin
their observation OF birds at this
time for their frst-class nature
study.
The National Council is urging
Councils TO see that all scouts at
tend during the summer, for at least
two weeks. a regular organized camp,
sanctioned by them. Such a camp
this Council has conducted each year
for the past FIVE summers. The camp,
we believe. is equaled by few and
surpassed by none. Preparations are
now being made to make this sum
mer's camp the most successful ever
conducted. Everything possible will
be done to see that the scout attend
ing will not only have a great time,
but Will be benefited mentally and
physically. We agree with national
headquarters that it is at the sum-
mer camp under pecially-trained
instructors, that the scout, given the
opportunity to put his theory into
actual practice, advances most in
Scouting. There is a very notice
able difference in the understanding
of Scouting between the one who
has attended and the one who has
not. We are desirous of having
every scout Of the Council attend
this summer, for as long a period as
they can arrange for. Caesar Rod
ner this summer is to be a snappy
and delightful instructive camp,
which IL you miss, will mean for you
a lasting regret. Are you going to
be there7
Two new troops, one at Claymont
and the other at Newport. will be
registered within a few days Troop
committees and scoutmasters have
been appointed and recommended
