Guard Association
Wants Enlisted Men
To Keep Ratings
Present System Of
Examinations Is
Opposed by Group

With the idea of retaining for
service to the country as officers, in
time of need, those enlisted men of
the National Guard who hold COM
missions in the Reserve Corps. the
National Guard Association Of the
United States has gone on record as
being opposed to these enlisted men
losing their commissions in the Ma
tional Guard of the United States
when their enlistments in the Guard
expire Under the present system,
the regulations provide for selected
enlisted men, who can qualify under
the examination, being commits
stoned as officers in the National
Guard of the United States. These
commissions, however, remain in
effect only so long as the man re-
mains in the ranks of the National
Guard.
1t was contended that it is essen
tial to the best interests of the Ma
tional Guard as a whole and in
justice to these enlisted men to have
such appointments continued in
force after the termination of their
active service in the National Guard.
Not only did the association recon-
mend that these commissions re-
main in force during the time that
the men remain on active service
in the Guard. but they urged that If
retained in the commissioned grades
in the National Guard of the United
States that they also be made ELI
gible for promotion in the Reserve
Corps. It was asserted that under
the present practice the Army loses
many valuable officers and that if
these men were qualified to hold
these commissions while serving in
the militia, they certainly would be
just as valuable out of the service
although not actively engaged in the
guard drill work and summer train
ing.
The association recommended
that when active Guard officers are
placed on the inactive list that they
be retained in status regardless of
the tables of organization for exist
ing units. They should not only be
retained, it was said, but they should
be provided with an opportunity for
promotion under the regulations for
promotions in the Officers Reserve
Corps.
Opposition was made to any action
looking to the amendment of the
regulations which would permit an
officer of the Officers' Reserve Corps
to retain his commission upon en-
listing in the National Guard. 1t
was pointed out that the present
regulations should remain in effect
and that if an officer wanted to stay
in the Reserve Corps he should not
enlist in the Guard, but if he wanted
to be in the Guard then he should
leave the Reserve Corps.

Recipe for Longevity.

SAFS AOA A<UAA6SvASys
Humorously admitting to having
been something of a club woman
and joiner" in the heyday of her
activities, Mrs. Baden still retains
her membership In the D. A. R., the
Short Story Club and the nearby
Petworth Women's Club. One of
the founders of this latter organi-
zation, she is proudly looking for
ward to participation in its ap-
preaching 25th anniversary.
All of her life Mrs. Baden has
written poems and short stories, but
has never made any effort to get
them into print, although they have
been widely circulated among her
family and friends, particularly
those having to do with the vivid
recollections of her long life.
ASKED whether she had a recipe
for longevity, Mrs. Baden said: II
have been moderate in most things
all of my life, and almost my own
doctor, since I have always been
absteminous about my diet, not
having cared for meat in many
years, and been partial to fruit and
vegetables long before the present
emphasis was being laid upon them.
To continue to be happy as the clock
ticks away the years, I have found
that one must not look backward,
but forward, with ones interests
centered In young people and their
hope sand dreams for tomorrow"
