in the way of building where all Of
it's activities may be held during the
armory drill year.
1t was pointed out also that In a
Guard organization many of the activi-
ties which hold it's members together
and maintain a high esprit de corps
are social, but there Is not even a
place in the present quarters where
such may be held and to which the
Guardsmen may invite their friends
and relatives. All such functions now
have to be held in private halls
throughout the citT, which necessarily
cuts down the number which each or
ganization would like to have because
of the heavy expense Of renting out Of
their own funds the outside quarters.
The chief Of the Militia Bureau, in
his current annual report, in outlining
the weakness in the Sd Corps Area, of
which the local National Guard Is a
component part, points out one as
lack Of suitable armories in some 10.
calities," and one of the leading places
is the National Capital. He also points
out that another weakness in this area
is a too large turnover of personnel,
and it Is believed by those familiar
with Guard activities that the lack Of
proper armory facilities had a large
part to do with this large turnover, as
members of the Guard do look forward
to some extent to an interspersing Of
their arduous drill duties with some
social and athletic activity.
The militia chief also says that the
strong points in this area are we'll es-
tablished State training camps and the
utilization of Regular Army installa-
tions for field training. But it was
pointed out by Guard officers that
these facilities are used for only Is
days of training each year, and the
greatest need was something to give
the men adequate military training
during the armory drill year of II
months and 2 weeks.
