JOIN STATE GUARDS

Soldiers returning to homes in
New York. New Jersey. and Della
ware were urged today by MAJOR
General Thomas A Terry. Com
manding General OF the Second
Service Command, to join their
state guards.
Membership in a State Guard" :"
said General Terry, "affords the
fighting man an opportunity to
protect in peace the home he was
protecting while at war"
General Terry paid tribute to
the work of state guards, which
are ever ready for such emergen-
cles as floods. fires, tornadoes.
riots, train wrecks. plane crashes.
explosions, and other home front
disasters. He observed that Guards
men find much recreation at their
armories when they are not being
used for regular training schedules
throughout the year. They take
nearly two weeks of special field
training each summer.
The field training of the New
York Guard has been in progress
at Camp Smith, Peekskill. New
York since early June, and the
Delaware State Guard completed
It's field training on August II. at
bethany Beach, Delaware. The
New Jersey State Guard began its
tleld training September Q. 1945 a,
Fort Dix. New Jersey.
The State Guards of the three
STATES are in need of recruits be-
tween the ages of II and 55.
