sion program would force the

IF THE National Guard Is
called into the federal ser
vice, as now seems likely.
there is some satisfaction IN
knowing that of all the state
military organizations none
will be found more highly
trained than the Washington
state units. Included will be
one of the few cavalry organi-
cations in the country = Ia
coma's old Troop B, now a
headquarters troop.
This state also will provide
one complete infantry regi-
ment. one anti-aircraft regi-
ment, one battalion coast
artillery. l46th field artillery
regiment, one battalion of the
14Sth field artillery. one quar-
termaster regiment equipped
with the latest type of trucks;
one medical regiment and an
observation squadron with
new flying equipment. The
personnel includes $50 off
GERS and 4.200 enlisted men.
Whatever the outcome of
the preparedness program
now being developed. the
Washington state troops will
give a good account of them
selves in whatever capacity
they may be called upon TO
serve.
Puyallup valley fruit grow
ers who have suffered heavy
losses this season by the In
ability to obtain pickers see
a possible source of relief In
the establishment of tran
silent labor camp midway be-
tween Puyallup and Sumner.
The Farm Security Admins
tration has purchased a site
and equipment and mobile
camp is being moved in. This
will be too late to be of much
assistance to the raspberry
growers but will provide labor
to harvest the later crops.
Several months ago when
it was proposed to establish
a transient labor camp in the
valley, the growers and resi-
dents of the nearby communi-
ties protested so effectively
that the project was aban-
doned. Very likely there will
be some remonstrance against
the present action of the
FSA. 1t is true that it may
not be the most desirable
means of meeting the valley
labor requirements but the
growers t h selves have
been unable to solve the prob
lem. Until a better way is
provided it would seem to be
wisdom to give the FSA every
reasonable cooperation in the
effort to clear up the labor
situation in the valley.
