Again, as years before, Battery
c, Milford, 945th AAA AW, has re-
ceived top honors and recognition
as the outstanding battery in the
annual National Guard encamp-
ment of Delaware. Not only has
the battery displayed efficiency
within it's own area, but as we'll
has set standards in outside partic-
ipation which all batteries are ask
ed to meet.
The Delaware National Guard is
composed of two battaliOns, the
945th, commanded by Colonel
Ralph Baker and made up of bat
teTies from lower Delaware, and
the 736th commanded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel j.. James Ashton, and
containing batteries from upper
state. The 945th Battalion con-
sists of five batteries: A, Laurel;
B, Georgetown ); C, Milford; D, Sea-
ford, and Headquarters Battery.
Battery C, Milford, was activat-
ed on June 80, 1947, with Captain
William KentOn, as commanding
officer. Under Captain KentOn's di-
rection, Battery c was immediate
ly sighted as top battery in the
Battalion and has held this posi-
ton during the approximately 2R
years that it has been active: Re-
Gently, after Captain Kenton's ac-
cident, command was resumed by
Captain James Deputy, who has
done especially we'll with battery
functions. Like Captain Kenton,
Captain Deputy is greatly respect
ed by his men personally as well
as under orders. Under Captain
Deputy, the battery is in the hands
of First Lieutenant Ralph Shan
non. The First Sergeant is Clemen
J. Nevins, while Sergeants George
l.. Smoot and William A. Chandler
are in charge of the first and sec
ond platoons, respectively. The
guards meet each Monday night at
the Armory.

First Day At Camn

Friday, July 30, was the official
beginning of the annual encamp-
ment for Battery c, Delaware Ma
tional Guard. Upon arrival of this
unit at 1000 at the Milford Armory,
95 able members were each issued
necessary equipment to see him
through the following week period.
Issuing of equipment, which rang
ed from duffle bags to pup tents
was conducted by Supply Sergeant
William Marvel and assistant. Pfc.
William Murray The average
pOundage which each man is held
responsible for ranges from so to
60 pounds, and this is cOmpara-
lively light travelling compared to
that of an Army regular during his
boot camp training.
Each man-was issued an MI Cal
liber 80 u. S. Army rife, ammuni-
tion belt with first aid kit and can
teen attached; pup tent, complete
with stakes and pegs; mosquito bar
for overall protection from those
little varments," as Pfc. Jack
WorthingtOn has so vividly describ-
ed them time and time again and a
pack for use on long hikes or over
night field problems such as those
scheduled for Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, August 10, II and IL, re-
spectively. Also included in this
list were two complete sun tan un-
iforms, helmet liner, rain coat.
combat boots, mess kit and finally
duffle bag in which to carry the
above items. After one sees all this
plus the numerous personal items,
such as T-shirts, baseball equip
ment, radios and plenty of socks;
it's easy to picture why each man
some times carries as much as 100
pounds of equipment to camp with
/ him.
After completion of equipment
drawing, the men were given
passes emitting them to leave the

Chlorine in water

Only relatively small amount
of chlorine is used to treat water,
and much of this disappears while
1t stands in pipes. reservoirs, etc.
The amount in the water we drink
is so little that our bodies can
readily dispose of it without harm.

ECLIPSE SCARED NOBODY

Last week the United States observed
the moon i'm total eclipse for about an hour
and half. The phenomenon developed
no excitement and there was nobody to
proclaim the nearing end of the world or
that the shadow over the moon was caused
by anger of the Almighty over the conduct
of men.
II was not always so. There was a
time when all races of men, still ignorant
and superstitious, viewed an unprotected
eclipse with great trepidation. Even to-
day, in some benighted areas, medicine
men. primitive priests and fakirs of many
kinds try TO capitalize on such events to
augment their control over the weaker
minds of their fellowmen.
Let us rejoice in the developing IN
telligence of mankind. Just as we are be-
ginning TO comprehend some of the facts
about nature and the universe, let US look
forward, in our minds, to the day when
men will be free of all superstitions and
know the fullness of Truth that we are
told, viii set men free.
