drive in Boston begins next

definite goal toward preparing
for a Boston NATIONAL GUARD
unit which later should be mix
ed into proposed Bay State di-
visions. The drive is open to
civilians. See your nearest re-
cruiting officer.
THE NATIONAL GUARD is a
home guard organization where
a man stays home and on the
lob with a few drills a week at
local armories. There is a
chance to learn many modern
techniques in mechanic, elect
ronic and other specialized
fields. And you get paid for
learning.

colored military men have been
the BEST organizers Of our
