AS Col. Myers took the salutes,
he managed to give his views on
what the Guard meant to him. He
wants to give the young fellows a
chance now, far more important
chance than existed in World War

tinguished career. He told of the
drills in pre-Armory times when
the soldiers met in quarters in the
300 block of First street N.W.-a
place so small they didn't even
have room to change clothes.
