war" times when old Co. d mer
were off for annual muster at
Camp Governor Somebody-or-
Other. 1t is much different now
than when the destination was
Camp Devens, and then across the
-boat-infested Atlantic to the
-cooty-infested battle
areas of France. There are quite
a large number of the present
companies, however, who have had
both these experiences.
Muster headquarters this yeal
are on the state camping grounds
! near Fort Ethan Allen and are to
, be known as Camp Governor
Hardness, in honor of Vermont
present chief executive.
Capt. Cheney's and Capt. La
dues husky lads are in good shape
to make a creditable record for
themselves and their home friends
and admirers are expecting to
see them return with added hon
ors, as a result of their valuable
military training and their friend
ly rivalry with the other compan-
les in the Vermont command.
Sergt. E. L. Lyndes of Co. d,
is to be the Caledorian-Record's
special representative in camp and
will keep the home people fully
informed as to the varied activit-
les in which the Caledonia county
militiamen are especially identl-
! fed.

The boys crowded the platforms
/ waving their farewells. as the tram
nulled out. 1t was just as it used
to be. only different. A veteran
of the Civil war, who has a son IN
the Lyndonville company, remark
ed that it was different. and he was
clad. He said that he was on the
back platform of the train when he
went to the front and as they
went through Baltimore he earned
a loaded gun in his hands with
instructions to shoot the first un-,
authorized person who attempted
to board the train. We are al!
/ clad that those strenuous days are
over. Next time it will have to be
| different,
