HISTORY OF THE
18TH REGIMENT
4
Date Bacls to Federation of
Sta.es With Washing
toms Army
AT CAMP EDWARDS NOW

The forefathers of the Delaware
National Guard date back to per-
iod in history prior to the fedora
tion of the states. These military
men were charged with the respon-
sibility of protecting the early set
tiers from the Indian warfare
which was prevalent in those days.
These small bands of militiamen
developed into larger organiza-
ton which was to become an i'm
portant unit in General Washing
tons Army during the Revolution
ary War. This unit was known as
the ''Kirkwood Blues" There is
not much recorded in history after
the Revolutionary War pertaining
to the armed forces of the state Of
Delaware.
Delaware troops next appeared
as fighting unit during the Civil
War between the states. This
force answered to the proclamation
of President Lincoln and fulfilled a
quota from the state of approxim-
ately 780 men. The unit was form
ed as The First Delaware Infantry
and Colonel Henry H. Lockwood
who had been professor at the
United States Naval Academy, was
elected as Colonel of the regiment
During the Civil War, The First
Delaware Infantry was credited by
the War Department as having
participated in the eleven major
engagements, a few of which are
Antietam, Gettysburg, Chancellors-
vile, and Lees Surrender.
The First Delaware Infantry was
mustered out of the service about
the middle of the year 1865 after
approximately four years of active
wartime service. The following
period of history up to the Spanish
American War was spotted with
attempts of military leaders to or
ganize infantry companies which
were eventually to become the nu-
clelus of the armed forces which
Delaware gave its country to par
ticipate in the Spanish American

Drive to Raise
Charity Funds
Needs Planning

TN the stress and strain Of these
/ uncertain days, fund raising for
charity has become big business
bound by ironclad rules for success.
10 raise money for charity, drive
must be planned and carried out
with finesse, even by amateurs.
Gretta Palmer, well known
writer, interviewed the fund raising
experts on how they went about
their work and reports her find
lngs to the readers of the May
Asue of Good Housekeeping maga-
ziNe. Miss Palmer's first recon-
merdation is to assemble COM
mites that includes few women
Of such influence that no business
man will refuse to see them. Have
other members who are good speak
ers, and others who are willing to
do dull, wheel-horse jobs.
Amateurs, Mss Palmer says,
often tend to be too modest in
setting the sum they want to raise,
but at the same time it should be
low enough so that II can be raised
in a whirlwind campaign of week.
The best methods of campaigning
are personal appeals through solicit
tors and direct mail appeals, a pro-
eedure which will keep cosse down.
A good idea Miss Palma sug-
lasts is t, appoint teams and Srill
Aem in the art of collecting. In.
teess on them the Importance ~
crusing emotional interest in thu
.arse rather than their personal
hopes of making a good showing.
Gifts will be larger, Miss Palmer
says, if solicitors pass out pledge
cards giving contributors six
months to a year to pay.
An advertising and publicity cam
paign is another prerequisite, and
various stunts should be planned
using pretty girls, Or women whose
social position makes them news.
Get young girls to sell sandwichey
at football or baseball games for th
charity. Have prominent woma.
sell signed recipes of their bsza
dishes. And stage fashion show
with society girls as mannikins,
borrowing clothes from local shop.
But remember Miss Palmer warns,
that the best-known method q
collecting funds is the simplest
personal appeals from hard-work-
ing solicitors who are backed by an
intensive Newspaper campaign.
