HOWITzERS0 ONLY
COMPANY INTACT
DURING LONG HIKE
Bennington Boys Made Credit
able Record at Muster
ARRIVED SATURDAY NIGHT
Sunburned Guardsmen at Home
after Two Weeks at Fort
Ethan Allen

The members Of Benn.ngton's Ilowit
ger company returned Saturday night
at 1890 from the annual muster
service OF two weeks at Fort Ethan
Allen. The company was due to ar.
rive at 4:40 p. m. and the Odd Fe..
lows band was ut the station 10 wei
come the guardsmen, who were not
on board when the train rolled into
the yard Is minutes late. They
missed the earlier train at Rutland.
When the company did arrive a
good sized crowd had gathered to eX.
tend warm homecoming reception.
Civilian friends on every hand were
questioning their soldier friends. A
summary OF answers established the
fact that from Capt. Leon Boyd to his
last man, the company members had
a fine time, this in spite OF six hour
drill daily, a dress parade late every
afternoon before Adjutant Gen. Her
bert T. Johnson and Col. +. w. Glib
son, and several strenuous Ion
marches under an August sun.
Speaking of marches, according to
the tale the Howitzers are telling,
their organization was the only one
that held intact throughout a 20 mile
cross country hike. Bennington may
well be proud OF this record for It
must be remembered that II or 10
other companies participated. Near
ly half the men in one organization
fell out from exhaustion on the line
OF march
The boys say the feed was fine
and attribute the success in this de.
partment to Chef William billie"
Carroll and his assistant, Marvin
White.
Every man in the company is sun
burned and looks in the best of
health. Although there are perma-
nent barracks at the post. most OF
the companies were quaitered in
their own tents. The boys took to
the out door life like ducks TO water
Many OF them wished that post
script might have been added to the
muster period.
