COMPANY II MAKING PLANS FOR
SUMMER CAMP.

While it has not been officially an
nOunced as yet where the Nationa,
Guard for the State will be located
next summer, it is definitely known
that Company Fl, First Infantry. Mary
land National Guard, composed of men
from this locality, will spend at least
fifteen days in well selected camp
Turing the coming summer season.
1t is possible that the trip will be
made by a combination of rail and
boat transportation, thus adding great
ly to its pleasure.
Plans are being drawn up now to
make this banner year at camp, and
healthful recreation will be enjoyed
by all the members of the Regiment
while there.
Already one can hear the soldiers
discussing the good times they are go
ing to have during the period they are
to- spend under canvas.
The summer military camp is fea-
ture of the Government plans for
military preparedness, which is fast
becoming very popular with the young
men of this country, and during the
past year was taken advantage of by
many thousands who were unanimous
in their praise of the benefits they de-
rived therefrom.
Especially is the camp attractive,
when one considers that not only is
everything furnished free to the sol
diers attending, but that he is paid for
the period as well.
The time spent in camp will be di-
vided among such interesting activi-
ties as rifle shooting, for it is at this
time that the organizations conduct
their annual rifle practice, and an ef-
fort will he made to qualify the major
| ity of the young men in the use of the
rifle Maneuvers and parades are also
to be held quite frequently, While
track meets and baseball games are
arranged and participated in with
great deal of interest. Swimming, boat
ing and many other forms of athletics
go to make up the daily program.
The evenings are always open for
! the soldiers to do as they desire, al
though dances, movies, concerts, ETC.,
are always arranged so that dull
moments are practically unknown, es-
pecially when one considers that the
soldier is always among his friends
from home.
Taking all these interesting acuVi-
ties in;o consideration, it. is no won
der that the man who attends camp
with his organization, returns home
trained and fit from his outdoor life,
feeling that he has had a fine time,
and has also rendered to his country
a service which he could not have
done otherwise.
Men who feel that they would like
l. I, with CnDl-
pany H. should not delay in getting in
touch with Captain Emigh before the
enIistments are complete.
