year with solicitous attention
from officers of the Regular Army
attached to posts in this area.
They have come from as far

troops in the field whether there
is any equipment or service they
can provide to make the training
objectives successful.
Without exception, they have
volunteered praise on the remark
able improvement over last years
encampment. The Second Army
officers, it was learned, visited the
Washington Armory months be-
fore the troops were scheduled to
leave for this post and insisted on
assurances that they had every
article of equipment needed for
their comfort and training in the
field.
The result has been. it was ex-
plalned, that the organizations
were able to begin their intensive
training program within a few
hours after they established them
selves in the camp. They were in
the field for nearly a week last
year before all of them we're
equipped properly.
Indications were given today
that this would be the last en-
campment at this post of the local
artillery group. The Army Is
showing increased resistance to
the expenditure of Federal funds
each year for the patching up of
wartime constructed barracks on
State owned camp grounds for
few weeks use. There is a growing
belief that such funds should be
spent on permanent Army install
lations.
The local artillery next year
may go to an Army post in the
vicinity of Rehoboth Beach. Del.
The requirements for anti-air-
craft target training are such that
the organization must have firing
areas extending for 10 miles or
more along the coast line. The
target area must be free from
constant interruption from ship
ping.
Fort Story is being used as a
firing point for the automatic
weapons this year. but its prox-
unity to Cape Henry results in
constant interruptions because of
passing ships.

the price of a healthy happy ado
lescent in the house.
Life is not always on our side.
Parents die and leave children to
the care of others, not always un-
derstanding people. Children fall
i'll and are left with a weakness of
one sort or another. Parents are
separated by divorce or other
causes; mothers must work out
side the home and children are
again left to the care of others
or to their own devices. The ideal
of a good home and fine parents
and happy children is not always
attainable and to those unhappy
parents who must do what they
can with children to whom they
are strangers in spirit, the diff
ficulties are almost insurmount-
able. Once habits of behavior and
work, and attitudes toward people
have been set it is very hard to
change them.
