for membership in the Guard is as follows:
 The would-be Guardsman applies on drill night to the unit desired.
 After his application is made, his papers are returned to him and he is instructed to go to the doctor.
 It takes approximately a week for the papers to be returned from the doctor. If physically acceptable, the applicant is then sworn in.
 It was announced that five Ne gro applicants are awaiting re- turns from their physical exami- nation with the hope of joining Headcuarters Company of the 43rd Detachment.
 In many quarters concern was expressed that an anticipated ban ton enlistments would be declared by National Guard headquarters in Washington. The Guard, it is noted, has almost reached the strength which has been set as a goal.

NEGRO FlREMEN CALLED TOPS

z The New England BULLE-
 TIN has every reason to be
 proud of the excellent record
 which is being made by Negro
 firemen in the Hartford Fire
 Department.
 It was the old Connecticut Chronicle which conducted a cam paign to get Negroes to apply for positions and take examinations which would qualify them as the first firemen of their race in this city.
 Highest praise of the perform ance of duty of these firemen was expressed to the BULLETIN this week.
 Chief Thomas, highest ranking officer of Hartford's Fire Depart ment, had this to say:
 ''The Negro firemen are doing an excellent job, making a very nice showing. They get along splendidly with their fellow-work- CTS. To us, they are just names, simply firemen. They are accept ing training as we'll as it could be accepted and in my opinion they are making damned fine flremen.
 Fellow Workers Praise
 Fellow workers of the recent ap- pointees were lavish in their com mendation.
 Negro firemen of the Hartford department were appointed after an intensive Chronicle campaign October of last year. Both Lieu tenants Wychodil and Hausman termed them "a nice bunch doing a good job men to be proud of."
 Coming in for special praise was Fireman Benjamin Laurie whose superiors term him a crackerjack.
 The men are stationed at the Main and Belden Firehouse, 1515 Main St.
