Wanted 1OHusky Men
To Join '4-F-ers' Squad
Good Wages, COngenial Associates Assured By Re-
putable Concern; Line of Applicants Forms on Right

Ten volunteers for the third bat
talon Infantry; Connecticut State
Guard, commanded by the former
Company &c" skipper, now 1t. Col.
Peter E. Fox, are being sought
through the medium of a rather
novel letter sent to Waterburians
and others in the city's immediate
vicinity. Criticism of the state
guard movement by so-called "side-
walk generals" Is rather we'll taken
care of in the letter, which follows:
Sir:
Wanted at once by a reputable
concern, ten men, healthy and
capable of standing up under
strenuous exercise. Wages, ten
dollars an hour for those who can
qualify. Apply at So Field Street,
Monday 700 p. m.
Gentlemen, please, no crowding.
There will be room for all.
Yes, there will be room for all
because if you investigate you
will find that So Field street is
the State Armory, the reputable
concern is 3rd Bn. and that it's
all bunk about the fancy wages.
We who serve the State as
Guardsmen receive no wages ex-
cept for active duty, but we do
receive the satisfaction of know
ing we are doing a worth while
job.
Some say that we are fools and
others say we are bunch of A.
F-erS.
Well 1t took a bunch of fools
to make the country what it is
a fool at least tries while the
skeptic sits back ready to burst
out with II told you so.'
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-01-22

And as for the 4 F-ers-give
me more of them. They have or
were willing to serve their coun-
try and were rejected and now
they are in our ranks doing their
best to serve their state.
Those on the sidewalks who
cry Il F. had best search their
own conscience to see if they
have done all in their power to
be ready.
You say what's the use, the war
is practically over. Well it is for
those thousand boys who died at
Tarawa but the rest of us had
better keep it on our minds for a
while at least. The Big Three
have now decided that they can
conquer Germany by next sum-
mer and put Japan next on their
list. 1t is still too risky to muster
out the State Guard.
Ten men is all I ask. How
many am I bid
I would get a real thrill if at
least one man in this town read
this article and responded to its
appeal.

And John Murray, Canada's foremost detective
took immediate charge of the investigation.
He judged the young man had been dead four
or five days. All Identification had been removed
from his clothing. His pockets were empty. The
handsome face, still preserved by winter cold
obviously was that of born aristocrat
Murray ordered pictures sent to Canadian,
