Wagon Co. Holds Annual Banquet
The annual banquet of Wagon
Company and their invited guests
was held Monday evening at the
armory. Those present included
two officers, AZ enlisted men OF
Wagon Company, and IS invited
guests. AS has been the GUS
tom, the piece-de-resistance was
roast coon. The balance OF the
menu was sage dressing, mashed
potatoes, gravy, creamed peas, cole
slaw, jello with whipped cream,
bread and coffee. The menu was
prepared and served by A. c. Nc
Bride and his corps of assistants,
and was up to the high standard OF
Mr. McBride's culinary art in pre-
pairing "coon suppers." Short talks
were made by Rev. FIR. Preston,
Mayor Shafer, Lee Smith, ]. R. AL
derman and Fred Smith. Music was
furnished during the dinner hour by
the Ohio Serenaders. Following
the banquet, Wagon Company kept
'open house, during which dancing
and other entertainment features
were enjoyed.
Wagon Company within the past
few days has been compelled to re-
ject several applications for enlist
ment on account of the fact that
the War Department will only au-
thorize a strength of three officers
and SIS enlisted men for unit Of
this nature, and while the Wagon
Company at present has an enlisted
strength of 5S men, no more en-
listments can be accepted without
first obtaining permission of the ad-
jutant general of the state, which,
except under unusual circumstances
is very difficult to procure. Since
the reorganization of the Wagon
Company under it's present officers,
on Jan. 10, 1925, this organization
has never fallen below the minimum
of so men required by the War De-
partment, a record which it is said
has not been duplicated in the entire
state of Ohio. During the eight
years the Company has been in the
service of the State and Federal
governments, five times it has re-
ceived rating of Every Satisfac-
tory from u. s. Army inspecting
officers at the annual Federal in
spection. The other three years a
rating of Satisfactory was receiv-
ed.
