Arizona republican., 1922-05-23

/ The state lsw states that a man
must be member of the battery for
at least 80 days prior to encampment
| So the men who are intending to
| get a free trip this summer will have
to hurry and get their enlistment pa
pers in before the 2Sth of May. This
encampment is very profitable way
to spend your vacation. The work
| is not hard and all men receive So
a day and up for their time. In ad-
dition all expenses are paid and lib
eral time is allowed to visit FL Paso
which is only three miles from Fort
Bliss
/ Captain Donald II. Biery and First
| Lieut.. Joseph f. Pomeroy have just
received official notification that
/ their commission is made permanent.
! This means that the examination
passed by th.se officers was of suf-
! ficient excellence to waive all future
| examinations for their grade, and
! that the federal commission will be
/ immune to pc litics or any changes
which may be made in the military
| department of the state.
First Lieut. Nathaniel T.. Houston
| and Second Lieut.. Era r. Fryer were
examined by the board consisting of
1t. Col. Henry A. Hanigan, army Of
| ficer in charge of the National Guard
in Arizona, and Major Mckinley of
| the state staff last Saturday. 1t is
necessary for all National Guard Of
| ficers to be examined by this board
| to determin their fitness to hold
commission 1t is safe to say that
| these officers passed the tests with
great ease ard permanent commits
sion for them is also expected to ar
rive in the near future.
So far none of the officers of the
battery have tailed to pass the tests
which is very good sign that they
are efficient and very capable of
| commanding tie battery. This means
that the instruction given by the bat
terry is not casual thing, but mod
/ ern ub to date course by capable Off
GERS who know their business. The
/ immense advantage of military train
| ing, even of the most elementary sort,
was very strikingly demonstrated
during the past war. Men who had had
any previous training of any kind
were in great demand and very quick
| ly received promotion. Military train
ing, the kind given by the National
/ Guard. makes man more fit physi-
/ cally, more alert mentally and better
morally, for it gives him knowledge
| of his responsibilities as citizen.
| Uncle Sam realizes that time which is
| given away is very apt to be con-
/ sidered wasted by the men who re-
| ceiye it ana so every man who comes
| to drill is paid for his time at the
rate of 81 per hour. All uniforms and
equipment are furnished blythe fed
eral government and are identical
with the equipment furnished the reg
ular army.
Enlistments are for period OF
! three years, but man who moves
/ away from this community to one in
which there is no National Guard
unit is given an honorable discharge
So the National Guard furnishes the
| young men a chance to learn some
/ thing very beneficial to themselves
and to the country and to get paid
for doing it. What could be fairer?
/ Information concerning encamp
ment and enlistments may be OBJ
| tanned by calling phone 1876 or by
! coming to the armory at Vance audi
torium any week between am. and
/ 5 pm
